1 A Bad Day and a New Beginning

"But I didn't do anything!" Exclaimed an overweight teen inside the principal's office. Sebastian James Scarbrough is an 18 year old teenager living in Oxford. He is a highschool student with passing marks, spending most of his time playing the popular game Paradise: the Infinite world, watching anime, reading manga and web novels. He is short teen being only 5 feet 5 inches tall, with black hair, small eyes, a fat nose, slightly bulging lips and an unathletic physique. He is a british-chinese with 2 siblings, a younger brother and an older sister. His mother had died of lung cancer when he was only 6 years old. The three were abused by their british father who raped his sister and killed her. He was then sent to jail after a neighbor reported strange noises coming from the next door.

He was then adopted by the Child Protection Agency at the age of 12 alongside his younger brother and lived in a dormitory provided by the agency at his school. He was quickly bullied by seniors for his bad academic performance, small eyes, unattractive physique and his gaming addiction, only having 3 friends who are also bullied for similar reasons. At the age of 15, he could not withstand the bullying any longer and made a pact with the seniors to watch porn in exchange for being accepted. When he watched it, the seniors secretly recorded him watching it and masturbating, spreading it around the students and causing them to be disgusted at him.

After watching those scenes, he was cursed with a porn addiction and became a pervert. Thanks to being that and an otaku in his school, his fellow classmates would stay away or mock him for it. Even though he did not treat them badly at all, they would bully him. Even the seniors would set him up and cause trouble for him. Despite the seniors already moving on to their respective colleges, trouble seemed to follow him everywhere.

"Nonsense, there were tens of witnesses who reported with the same account. I'm sorry Mr. Scarborough but you are expelled from this institute!" Said the principal. Sebastian huffed in anger at this fate. First he was tricked into watching porn and being labeled a pervert, and now, he was framed for beating up an alumni who clearly attacked him out of the blue and caused him a few bruises. Now, he couldn't even apply to a decent job thanks to this. If only this didn't happen, he could get a diploma and maybe work in a company. If he's lucky, he could climb the ranks and get a girlfriend since most girls are disgusted at him.

His brother was also killed yesterday and he attended the funeral causing him to be tardy. The principal left the room to do the necessary calls and paperwork. While he did, the teen cried his heart out. First, he saw his only friend and family in a coffin and buried in the ground. One more reason to live was stripped away from him. If not for his hobbies, he would committed suicide a while ago. However now, he had no more reason. He'd rather die through his own means than starve to death with a dead end job. In his mind, he thought of ways to end his life and hopefully, his next would be like those lucky Isekai protagonists who got a system.

'I wish I could be like those protagonists. Getting a system, building a harem and ruling the world. Sadly, this is real life and real life sucks!' While he thought that, a white feather dropped on his head and turned into smoke. Since it happened in a second, he did not notice this white feather. While in thought, he recalled on how it all began and remembered the first day of seventh grade. He was walking down the hallway as the first day of school started. He is until now, a great fan of anime and in the recent years, hentai. While thinking about his favourite anime, he accidentally bumped on a senior. "I'm sorry, I wasn't looking." He helped to stack the fallen books of the senior and she thanked him.

For some reason, he absentmindedly stared at her and suddenly, her boyfriend nearby shouted at him. "Stay away from my girl!" He stood up and ignored the angry senior. The senior had a perfect face, a girl would easily be charmed by such a face and using that, he could get any girl he wants. Although his girlfriend told him to calm down and she explained the situation, her words fell on deaf ears as he grabbed Sebastian by the collar. He then started mocking and punching him as Sebastian struggles to escape his grip. He begged and apologized for a mistake he never made.

Thankfully, a teacher came and saved him from the petty monster. He was punished with suspension and it entered his permanent record. He would later know that this senior had a perfect record and grades, this record would reduce or even ruin his chances of joining Harvard or Stanford. As a result, he used his popularity to frame, persecute and torture him endlessly as a form of revenge. Amounting to the suffering he received now due to his temporary return. While crying he mumbled, "What did I do wrong? I was too stupid, too weak to fight for myself." When he heard the principal's footsteps coming closer, he quickly looked for tissue and wiped his face to not look weak.

After that, the child protection agency took him back to his apartment. His 'mother' in the agency spoke out her mind while Sebastian did nothing to rebuke. He could tell that if he rebuked and told her the truth, the senior would try and silence him or take revenge afterwards. He had not much reason to live anymore, so why push it. Even if he won the case and the senior was sent to jail, it won't change that he's hated. It won't change his grades or his social life. All of his otaku friends disappeared over the last few months so why bother. To good thing about death is that he believed he had a chance to reincarnate.

Maybe, he could get lucky and get a system like his favourite novels. He could grow a harem, travel between worlds and rule a great empire. After the agency left him alone, he played Paradise: The Infinite World for one last time. His character had the same name as him but he was far better than his creator. He was handsome beyond compare and one of the top 3 strongest beings in the game thanks to Sebastian's dedication to the game. Many tried to hire him to join esports for this famous game but he declined as his brother was still there with him. He thought of joining but decided not to since he was too tired of living anyway.

It was a full moon night, the pale rays of the moon crept through the window. His room was a mess, like a typhoon had just past. There are books littered around his bed and table. The moonlight shone on him as he played his last game in this world. He prepared to die through bleeding himself to death. His knife's blade glittered under the moonlight, ready to slash the otaku's flesh when he finished playing for the last time. After a four hour gaming session, it was midnight, the perfect time for him to die, he thought. He then grabbed the knife and prepared to puncture his head to end it quickly.

Although he placed the knife between his eyes, he staggered while doing so. His instincts as a living being causes him to fear certain death which is an obstacle for him to conquer. He reminisces his whole terrible life and directs all of his anger at the knife. With great determination and a will for death, he punctured his skull with the knife. Its metal blade caused a short cracking noise as it took a short moment to break into the skull and kill the brain. Not even a second in, his vision quickly faded to black as the knife penetrates the front area of his brain.

A small river of blood gushes out of his head as his body falls down dead with a knife on his forehead. An endless darkness descends on him as he enters the embrace of death. In an endless void, a white orb shines brightly amidst the endless darkness. It seemed like it's the only thing within the darkness. This is Sebastian's soul who had entered the temporary state of death while his consciousness is asleep within this inactive state. Upon death, he really hoped that some God would just appear and grant him a new life and a system because that God would be sorry about his bad life or something.

'How disappointing' He thought. Death looked like a dreamless sleep where you feel absolutely nothing at all. No emotions, no pain and no sense, it is truly the opposite of life. Then suddenly, a brilliant flash of light appeared before him. When the light died down, a monitor appeared while a message rang in his mind.

[Hello, poor soul. Would you like to go on an adventure? Would you like to go and conquer the world? Would you like to achieve godhood or start a harem? If you do, please touch the monitor in front of you.]

'What?' Is the first question he asked. This isn't exactly the usual thing that happens during transmigration. Usually the system would automatically input itself into the host and not even ask for permission. Wait, why did it even have to ask? If you're dead, why remain in an empty space for God knows how long. 'Wait, how am I supposed to touch the monitor? I have no hands or feet.' Just as he asked, a large glow bursted from within his body and his form had shifted from an orb into his body's albeit without the knife or the small fountain of blood spewing out. He then, tried drifting towards the monitor like an astronaut.

Apparently, this place is truly nothing as even gravity doesn't exist here. While drifting, he accidently lost his balance and started to spin. He tried reversing the force but ended up either spinning him in reverse or increasing the speed. In the end, he bumped into the monitor and the monitor turned on.

"Well that's cheery." He said with sarcasm. He understood the title but couldn't help but be annoyed by the remarks. Does the system really have to be so cruel. Just as he thought about that, the system actually replied.

[Well, being brutally honest is actually quite helpful you know. Especially if the target is a guy.]

"Wait, you can read my mind?" The system gave a bleep in confirmation. He gulped and suppressed all of his thoughts relating to his waifus and his imaginary sex scenes with them. He didn't want the system to accidentally or purposely see his personal thoughts no matter what benefit he'll get. After finding the human's mind mostly empty, the system continued the welcome protocol.

"Whoa, these packages are amazing!" Even though he didn't understand the rarity levels of the place that he's coming to, his experience in gaming always says that a bronze rarity is never the bottom rarity. It'll be quite a decent equipment to gain however, he stayed away from the adventurer package because he'd like to live as a king instead of as the typical everyday loser. If he is king, all of his perverted actions would be justified and any lady would be tempted by the offer of wealth. He decided not to pick the Regal package because he could not straight up be king of a country of his own choice or creation.

'Maybe I should be a God instead.' The Future God package interested him the most because it gives him Mythical and even Pseudo Divine ranked things from the beginning. In most games, Mythical items would be at the top or if not the second or third highest rarity in the game. Gaining one of them from the start is an immense boon not to mention having several of them. But, he will never reincarnate beyond the world. He gave it a deep thought, 'One on hand, I would be given a shot at becoming a God and I won't have any worries for all eternity while on the other hand, If I die I can reincarnate in another world and maybe in my favourite animes.'

He thought about it again before he reached a stalemate. Until, he realized something. If he died without a system or something like it, he would end up forgetting everything about himself in the next life. Realizing this, his opinion is undisputedly on becoming a God. Maybe, if he truly ascends to one, he could come and go pick up his girls by going to their respective worlds. A creepy grin formed on his face, like that of a sadist. Excited at the thought of venturing into those worlds, he was ready to choose the Future God package.

But, he realized a fatal mistake. How does he select the package exactly? Since the system didn't give any directions after that, should he ask it? "System? Do I call you that?"

[Host may address me as whatever host wishes]

"I'll just call you system, it's easier. Also, how do I choose the package anyway?" A bleep sounded before it replied.

[Host simply mentions the choice]

He felt a little stupid that he didn't figured that out. After all, the only thing he could do is speak and bump into the monitor. Putting his stupidity aside he gave his reply, "Well then, I choose the Future God package."

[Is Host sure?]

"Yes."

[Is Host really sure?]

"Yes."

[Very sure?]

"Yes."

[Ultimately sure?]

"Yes! Yes, I'm sure!" Sebastian is getting quite impatient on this. I mean who wouldn't if you're gonna reincarnate in another world with a cheat system that can make you a God.
