LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 1: Prologue
...
??? P.O.V.
"..."
Is this for real?
For the umpteenth time, I recline myself on a chair in this empty space, staring in disbelief at the holo-computer in front of me. A holo-computer... Something straight from a sci-fi fantasy.
Maybe I should come to terms with my new reality already, after all... I'm FLOATING in the FUCKING VOID!
Okay, calm down me, you don't lose your cool that easily.
"So that's it? I'm to be a Contractor of the Waifu Catalog??" I raise my voice to ask the 'nothingness'.
"..." Once again, the 'nothingness' doesn't answer.
"What about Customer Service to answer some questions??"
"..."
"Haah~ I should make my build already, I've been procrastinating for half a day... I think?" I sigh and massage my face
I mean, truthfully I'm not procrastinating. I've made dozens of builds in dozens of worlds, but I erased all of them.
The first world is important after all, if all of this is real and not a dream.
I think it's real, I walked like half an hour in one direction only to find this computer again.
"Whatever, let's do it for real..." I say before sitting more upright and cracking my knuckles.
It needs to be at least a Tier 5 world, so that I can buy the essential talents, defenses, and lures.
Marvel and DC have a higher ceiling to acquire power, and a lot of targets to capture but... You know... It's Marvel and DC for gods sake..
I need to know the plot too.
The obvious and common choices are worlds full of waifus to capture. And where is it not that big of a deal to make a harem? DxD, One Piece, Naruto...
But... I would need a lot of defenses to go to Naruto and DxD, mind-reading jutsus and magic, etc.
I'm more into anime too... Maybe another shonen?... A shonen where I can finish the story quickly and jump to the next world.
A world to prepare for the others that follow...
"Hmmm... Man, I must be crazy..." I murmur while selecting the world "But being a little crazy is essential in this world."
Jujutsu Kaisen.
I know, I know.
Together with Attack on Titan, Chainsawman, Demon Slayer, and others, it makes the list of places that no one wants to live.
BUT!
I have a plan!
It's not a world where it's hard to become one of the big shots. Look at Yuta! Insta Special Grade.
80% of a Jujutsu Sorcerer's power is defined by their talents. And with the Catalog... Who will be more talented than me?
The key is in the next Section, the Origin.
There's a certain guy that only costs 20 credits, when he has the... pfft, "potential" to cost 100 credits like the Top of the Verse, like Gojo, Sukuna, and Yuta.
Yes. Him.
Potential Man himself.
The son without child support.
The One That Was Left Behind.
The siscon.
The not-so-emo Sasuke.
Mr. "With this treasure...".
The "I don't wanna live anymore" guy.
Damn, my blood boiled reading that last chapter. Maybe this is why I'm making this choice?
Fushiguro Megumi.
A Tier 5 character with Tier 7 potential. With the Talents of the Catalog, I will accomplish it easily.
The guy is good-looking, has the( pfft heh~) potential, it's close with some targets like Maki, and there's an interesting mission here.
True Sukuna Successor... In this mission, if I buy Possession Defense to ward against when Sukuna tries to take over my body, then fighting him and acquiring everything he has in a Ritual Battle.
Heck, I can trick the bastard into possessing me so that I can become even stronger in my next world. I simply need to do nothing beyond getting stronger. I can let the plot run and it would be to my advantage.
Yeah, yeah... I can do this. Fuck it.
Looking at the information of the Origin, I can take over his body when he was 13 years old minimal, this gives me two years to train. More than enough.
Well, now to the perks... Obviously [Body Tune-up], [Athletic Talent], [Martial Talent], and [Soul Talent]. It's the standard.
In the Generic Section, I take the necessary [Universal Calibration] and others to make things sexier. The Jujutsu Kaisen world is one of pain and suffering. Beyond some Gojo and Nanami thirst traps, the world is not that ecchi.
[Sexual Calibration] and Fertility Calibration I], so that I can have sex without worries.
[Normalcy] because is a modern world, and even though I don't plan on having an enormous Harem, I want people to accept me having more than one girlfriend.
And [Time-Savers] because it is the best. This is not a sheet made for fun. This is real. Will be my new life. Who doesn't want convenience?
Defenses now... [Body x2], [Stress x2] because, you know... You're my Special~~
[Possession x2] so that Sukuna can't thirst over my sexy body and for the mission.
I want the Mind, Corruption, and Polymorph(because of Mahito) ones, but they're expensive. I will buy them after I capture some waifus.
Now, the most important... The Templates Stackings. To bring out the full potential of the Ten Shadows I will need to defeat Mahoraga. I need Mahoraga to defeat Sukuna too.
So I need something to beat Mahoraga.
And considering that it would be weird for people to see me using strange things like another element or magic... I need to keep on the shadow/darkness theme to pass as an extension of the Ten Shadows Technique.
"Or an increase in my physical strength..." I murmur.
There's a guy...
"Blackbeard from One Piece..." I type his name.
It will increase my physical strength, and give me Haki, a Darkness-based ability that I can fake in being me using shadows to reinforce myself and the Tremor Fruit as a trump card to defeat Mahoraga.
"Does Blackbeard have Conqueror's? He must have, right? Well, if he doesn't have it I will buy it on Added Potential." I shrug.
Wait... Will I take double the damage?
Is that of the fruit, or it's a lie concocted by Blackbeard to hide he has two bodies?
You know what? Fuck it. I think the Company covers these weaknesses. And if I train Haki, I will be capable of seeing the future, BlackBeard is also super strong. The advantages outweigh the gains.
Now, I can buy another Template...
Who? Yami from Black Clover? But Magic... Ugh. What about Sung Jin-woo? But again... Magic. People will notice the difference from Cursed Energy, right?
Haki I can hide, but Magic? Hardly.
And Cursed Spirits don't leave corpses so that I can extract the shadows, so Sung Jin-woo Template loses half the appeal.
In the worst-case scenario, I will buy it later for 80 credits. Not that expensive after I complete this world.
The other template needs to be someone strong. At least, Tier 8 so that I can safely be stronger than Sukuna and Mahoraga, who are Tier 7.
Oh! I remembered someone. From another other popular manga...
The Darkness Devil from Chainsawman.
Heh~ Now I'm more confident.
About the lures now... Hmm, Shrouds are expensive... Forget about it for now. Let's keep the ol' good and reliable stamp.
Lures... [Sticky Fingers] Duh. And Love Spot to be more handsome.
The thing is, I will be seeing people like Maki, Nobara, and others a lot. School and all that. So exposure to it should help.
Anything more? This [Don't Stand So Close to Me ] looks good. People who teach me and are taught by me get attracted to me, huh? Heck, only by being close and interacting will help... This is good for a school world.
Spars with Maki and Nobara, learning from Ieiri Shoko, Utahime, and maybe even Mei Mei.
I have some credits to spare, should I keep it...?
Oh, [Covert Talent]. Good so that I can lie and it has a good synergy with the Ten Shadows so that I can infiltrate places.
I thought about taking [Communication Talent], but I think I have passable social skills, so no hurry.
"*Huff* That's it!" I double-checked my build.
Let's put to the test if the Internet finally fried my brain or if I really won the Multiversal Lottery.
*Click*
...
*Ring**Ring**Ring**Ring**Ring*
I open my eyes because of the alarm. A somewhat familiar ceiling greets me.
The memories of my life here float to the forefront of my mind.
"Yeah... It is real..." I comment in a low voice while staring absentmindedly at the nothing.
*Ring**Ring*
Adjusting my mind and body to my new life and circumstances.
A new country, a new world, a new life...
A dangerous world and a dangerous life.
*Ring**Ring*
But I have the tools to survive. I have the tools to thrive!
*Ring**Ring*
Fuck you, Alarm!
I turn to see my smartphone far away from my reach...
"..."
*Ring**Ring**Ring*
"There's no other alternative... *Sigh* With this treasure, I summon..."
