1 New Body, New World.

--- 2005, Gotham ---

Sitting in an alley filled to the brim with trash and homeless people, a boy just five summers old, wearing stained and torn clothes, eats a burger while looking at the wall opposite him.

It's been three days since his rebirth, he inhabits the body of a neglected child that starved to death.

Ignoring his system, he got his priorities straight, petty cash, food, clothes, these were his main concerns for the first few nights.

With almost every action, he received a skill, walking, running, bartering, pickpocketing, etc.

He earned some cash through pickpocketing, bought himself some food, and stole some clothes from a pawnshop.

Now, three days into his life, he finally gets a good look at himself as he stares at a broken mirror in the alleyway.

Skinny and small for his age, he has unruly black hair, pale skin, and bright blue eyes.

He wears a pair of torn sneakers, ripped cargo shorts, and a plain white t-shirt.

Sitting himself down, he finally acknowledges his system, 'System'

[Yes, Master?]

'System, is there a level or stat cap?'

[None]

'What happens when a skill reaches one-hundred?'

[The skill will max out then give you three different evolutions of that skill]

[If you were to max out Boxing, it might turn into Kickboxing, Krav Maga, or Muay Thai]

'Awesome, there's no point in putting points into most of these skills since they are easy to level on my own'

'I'm too young to get a job or do any serious crime, put all my skill points into pickpocketing'

A small surge of energy flows through his fingertips.

'System, you said i get different evolutions for my skills once they reach max level, do my stats have something similar to that?'

[For every one-hundred levels, you will receive a choice of three skills/spells for that stat]

'Sweet, I'll save my stat points, time to earn some cash'

Standing up, he makes his way back to the busy street with a conniving smile on his face'

[AUTHOR'S NOTES]

This novel is not set in the Gotham tv show or the movies, This is set in an alternate universe of the comics.

The JLA or Justice League of America is fully up and running, the citizens of the world love and support its heroes.

The MC is will be STRONG, but not OP, or Godlike, at least, not for a very long time.

Comments are more important than anything else, please spare a moment and give me your opinion on this type of novel.
