A Start

'Uhhh, what? Where am I? What is this? Why is my head so fuzzy?' As I open my eyes I see that surrounding me is a white floor with grid patterns that goes on farther than I can see. This reminds me of the hyperbolic time chamber. I quickly but groggily get up from the floor before looking around. The sky seems to be non existent, just white going on forever. 'This is one hell of a lucid dream'

/Hello host! Welcome to the 2 9/10 dimension, the dimension beetween the 2nd and 3rd dimension! Would you like to open starter pack?/

"What?" A voice echoes in my head, startling me. Host? 2 9/10 dimension? Starter pack? Is this a novel? Guess I should open it...

/Pack Opened! You have Gained: Capsule Corp House(compressed), 1 F Grade ability ticket, 500 BP, System manual, fight countdown watch./

Alright, pretty standard grade stuff. Though what is a fight countdown watch? Guess I'll have to read the manual.

-3 Hour Later-

"I get to meet my favorite fictional character... right? What kind of lucid dream is this?"

To give a bit of context, I have apparently become a candidate to be a god. If pass enough challenges, I will get stronger and eventually rise to godhood. Standard dream stuff. This is starting to get really scary. Is this reality or a dream? Something about a system was also mentioned by the manual. Funky ass dream haha...

Essentially, according to the manual, The system is a tool the gods give to a god candidate to help them become gods. The system has many functions, such as but not limited to: Stats, skills/abilities, equipped items, perks, shop, world travel, lottery and quest/challenge. Pretty much a generic novel thing. 'What is going on? Am I in a coma or something? That makes sense...'

I think I may possibly be in a coma. Considering the fact that I just finished a 48 hour grinding session on TERA, it's plausible and would explain the lucidity of this dream as well as the length. If that's the case, then all I can do is wait. 'Guess I'll have to distract myself with whatever this is.. Oh, a countdown watch?'

I see an luminescent watch with a green tint, reminding me of Ben 10's universal watch but with a thinner and more simplified design. I grab it before putting it on my right hand. As I get it fitted, it latches on to me and turns translucent. 'Wow, that's cool' I think as now I automatically know when the next challenge will be, even if I don't look at the watch.

The countdown watch measures when my next mandatory challenge will be. I have a challenge quota that I have to achieve, which is at least one at the end of a week (Friday). Challenges are prone to happen in many different scenarios. For instance, I could be fighting a horde of sonic the hedgehog or attacking the flood with an army of warframes behind me (fan fictions do also count as fiction). Every single fictional concept is possible. The quota doesn't change which is nice. I can do more than one challenge a week if I ask the system.

"System, show my stats." This is exciting. I wonder what my stats will be? One billion? Infinity? It is a dream after all.

....Mm...

I never really went outside much or competed outside of my games, so the deficit in stats is reasonable. The average of a normal person is 10, so I'd say I've got pretty good perception and dexterity. Must be from my games... yeah. I did my fair share of jogs which speaks for agilty. Every other stats are pretty normal. Now, back to the main problem. I should probably set up that house. I don't seem to have an inventory, since the manual didn't mention it and the capsule Corp house pill thingy is in front of me, right beside a white ticket. I grab both of them and throw the pill down. Nothing happens. Is there like a button or something? After a bit of fiddling around, I get the capsule to expand.

The house is pretty small, only around the size of my living room and closet combined. At least it still has the necessities, like food and water and a bed. How is there running water? Whatever. After checking around a bit more, there seems to be a television, which the manual said something about. Grabbing the remote, I turn the TV on and turn the channel to list, as the manual instructed. The TVs and other electronic devices in this dimension have a channel called list, which only shows TV shows based off of my next challenge.

CALL OF DUTY: WARZONE

So my next challenge has to do with COD. Something that actually exists in fiction... I should probably use my BP on marksmanship as well as close combat. BP is an abbreviation for battle points, which are the currency that I get from completing fights, quests and challenges. It can be used to buy anything from the shop.

Guess I should prepare, maybe do some exercises and stretch a little bit. Wonder if I can fly. As I get up, I hear a slight crinkling noise. I reach in my pocket and pull out the white F grade ability ticket. 'Oh yeah, this exists'

"Hey system, use the ticket in my hand." I say in anticipation.

(I'm not writing the full name of the ticket. I'm lazy, you see.)

/Skill:F:Active:Marksmanship:For a duration of 1 minute, host can take the experiences of a veteran shooter and apply it to himself:10 minute cooldown/

Not OP.... It's the lowest grade ticket after all. To give some more context, the grades are

F: Bottom tier. Normal abilities. For instance, being a faster than normal runner or having good cooking skill.

D:Low Tier: The middle ground between superhuman and normal. For instance, being able to run 5 kph faster than Usain Bolt. Possible but very rare.

C:Low-Mid Tier: Crosses the boundary of normal and into superhuman. For instance, being able to run 45 kph or growing 4 times faster than a normal person.

B:Mid Tier: Abilities that are standard grade superhuman like the strength to pick up a truck or have super speed.

A:High Tier: Strong abilities like telekinesis or the ability to run at 1000 kph.

S: Very High Tier: Extremely strong abilities able to level cities or even damage worlds on a large scale like hulk(comic) strength or quicksilvers speed.

EX:God Tier:These abilities surpass human logic. For instance, flashes speed, gokus spirit bomb, thanos snap. Can range from planet destroying to universe shattering.

As I head out of the building to 'exercise' I stub my toe.

"OWWW SUN OF A BIACH" I yelp in pain as I hop around, one foot in my hand.

'Wait, pain?' The gears in my brain start turning before arriving to a conclusion. My face pales as my body turns numb enough to ignore even the pain. 'Thi-This-This is...' Even my mind stutters in my shock.

"This.. is REAL?!" I screech at an unholy tone. What about my family, my friends, my 10000 HOURS ON TERA?! NOOOOOOOO!!

"Maybe surgery? Yes, there doing surgery! Oh what the fuck am I saying?! Surgery on my foot? This is real!"

——30 Minutes Later——

I've calmed down now. So this is a re-So this is a reality..

"S-system, is there a way to go back to my home?"

/No. If host allows it, the system can provide euthanasia./

"NO!" I almost scream. What kind of idiot would give up immediately? I could at least try..

I head back in to confirm what I'm doing next. I turn on the TV and COD WARZONE is still up.

"GOD DAMN IT PUSSY MUTHAFUCKA BITCH FUUUUUUUUUUCK!" I am not very happy..

—-15 Minutes Later—-

After another... episode... I'm completely exhausted. I look to my right and see the Capsule Corp grade bed and my lord is it looking like heaven. This is my home anyways so... yeah. Well goodnight... no one. I don't even know what time it is, it's always day here.

——13 Hours Later——

/Host stress meter measured in above average readings. Administering counter solution 1-A./

/Pet Package:F: Opens up to reveal an adorable pet!/

"Huh? Sure, use pet package." I say gloomily.

/Aipom:E:An adorable monkey that happens to have a hand for a tail! Mischievous but loyal when fed properly. Diet consists mainly of bananas!/

An orange furred monkey appears in front of me before running to me holding its hand out. I also open my arms wide with a smile before saying "Hey little buddy!" He passes under me and beelines to the fridge before grabbing a banana.

"Mmm, I'm gonna hate you. As a homage to my first Pokémon run, I'll call you dickbutt." I say as a matter of factly.

(AN:You know you've given Gary a stupid name if you've played pokemon.)

'Now that I think about it, I should probably at least train for WARZONE. I wonder if I can bring Dickbutt'

——1 Hour Later——

'63...64....65.....6...7....68....6....9....7...0.' I get to 70 pushups before collapsing. The sweat on my forehead is evidence of hard work. I at least want to be able to hold the guns. So far I've done squats, planks, sit ups and pushups. I think that's enough for today. I should probably take a cold bath if I want to recover quickly..

I guess this is my life now.
