1 The System Awakens

Anya: So doc.... what're my results?

I sit down and wait anxiously for the doc to reply. He looks down and inspects a file of papers he holds in his hands. He takes a deep breath and cleans his glasses before looking at me with a grave expression.

Doc: I have no fucking idea.

Anya: What.

Doc: This is common, don't worry. Basically, your gift is the type which can't be normally categorised and is a lot more complex than it seems.

The doc explains as I listen intently trying to recall the categories that split up gifts. I remember scrolling through the Superpowerwiki and viewing the countless powers listed and reading about them for hours on end. There were thousands of categories yet mine was not in them? How peculiar.

Doc: We label these type of gifts in the Abstract category but I can tell you one thing. Your power involves randomness of some kind.

Anya: What does this mean for my break then?

Doc: Usually, when students receive their gift evaluation, they're given a few days off to get used to their abilities and train them but since yours is an abstract gift, they'll give you a couple weeks or so.

Anya: YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!

Doc: They'll probably send you work to do while your off

Anya: NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!

Doc: Take these pills three times day, once per breakfast, lunch and dinner, got it?

Anya: Yeah, thanks doc.

I head home while pondering on the nature of my gift. I hope it's powerful, so I can take revenge on my enemies and take over the world. Or it could be Teleportation which would make life so much easier although if it was Teleportation, it wouldn't be a abstract gift.

I sit down and turn on the news as background noise while I go on Webnovel and reread my same favourite books instead of starting the books that's been unopened and left to collect dust in my library for years.

I feel tired already so after having dinner, I remember to take the pills but since I already had breakfast and lunch before I got them should I just take one or three? I'll do three just in case and ask the doc about it tomorrow.

The Next Day~

Alarm: BEEP BEEP MOTHERFUCKER! THE IRS IS HERE!

Anya: Aw, I forgot I set that up.

I get out of bed and have some cereal while I call doc.

Anya: Yo doc, I was wondering yesterday if I was supposed to take one or three during dinner because I already had breakfast and lunch before getting the pills.

Doc: Oh just one, those pills are accelerants and taking too many at once can lead to death, gifts becoming out of control or in small extremely rare cases activating the gift early and making it powerful but you'd have a better chance of lightning striking you and your scars spelling today's lottery numbers.

Anya: Oh.... good thing I took one.... haha.... hah.... ha...

As I hung up, a floating holographic cyan text box appeared infront of my face.

Anya: Well, I guess I'm about to die. Goodbye cruel world! And why not login to speed up my death!

[Day 1]

[Zenith Body]

[You become ageless meaning you don't age past a certain point and stay in your prime. You are immune to disease, toxins, poisons, bacteria, contaminants etc. You have a infinite memory capacity meaning you remember absolutely every detail from the moment you are born and you become immune to memory manipulation and amnesia. Your body is self-sustainable meaning you can survive without the need for bodily resources, such as food, water, sleep, or oxygen. You are immune to all mental, metaphysical and psychic attacks. You cannot feel pain or any feeling of uncomfortableness and you have infinite stamina. You are immune to the elements meaning fire, water, electricity, acid, light, darkness etc. You have superhuman senses and mental/physical capabilities as well as hyper regeneration. You can never truly die as long as the memory of you exists and if you are killed, you will simply revive]

Well... that seems a bit overpowered doesn't it? This essential renders me immortal as long as the memory of me still exists. I'm unable to lose a fight as I'll simply revive due to my opponent remembering me in the first place.

Now, I could either leave my house and do something productive or..... I could just stay at home and sleep... yeah, I think I know what I'm doing.

The Next Day~

I think it's Tuesday today? I don't know and I don't really care. On the basis of my gift, it seems like it only activates once I think about.

Case in point. Sure it's a daily system but it won't pop up out of nowhere to remind me, I have to manually do it myself which isn't that big of a drawback considering the reward I got yesterday.

Yes.

[Day 2]

[Omen]

[Omen is a halberd with magical and elemental abilities. The axe blade is an average-sized and irregularly-shaped with a tapering lower edge. The gold-coloured head is made of an unknown material. The top of the halberd is tipped with a medium length pair of spikes, and the back edge forms an average-sized spike. The entire head is bound to the shaft with a gold sleeve. The solid gold shaft is medium length long and has a diamond encrusted grip. It is light-weight. It can inflict a sleeping curse; targets fall into a deep sleep when hit, produces a protective physical barrier around itself and the wielder, it's ethereal and capable of killing ghosts, robotics, spirits, undead and usually unkillable entities, it is capable of repelling, cutting through or completely destroying any ice it comes into contact with, it is unbreakable, can be controlled telekinetically, it can be summoned back to the wielder at will, it allows the user to see through illusions, invisibility and beings up to eldritch gods, grants the wielder a superhuman condition, able to enter and manipulate dreams, purify objects and creatures, control over doves and the ability to manipulate ribbons]
