[Gamer Initiative Active.... User chosen.]
[Initializing.... Done!]
...
'Ugh... where am I?'
[Wake Up User!]
'What the-'
[Welcome to the Gamer Initiative.]
'What?'
*DING*
[Spinning Universe Gatcha system!]
'Okay so let me get this straight... I have a gamer system?'
*DING* *DING*
[Universe chosen: The 100.]
[Universe Grade: D]
[Universe grade will be forcibly altered to suit users mental parameters.]
'What in the fuck is going on! What the hell does it mean by my mental parameters!?'
After thinking for a few minutes and struggling to remember the plot of the 100 since I only watched until season 5, as well as getting over the fact I'm living out a fanfic, I waited for the system to update the universe difficulty.
[Universe difficulty grade has been updated.]
[Universe Grade: C]
[Added Entities: Werewolves, Vampire's, Extinct species, and magic.]
'What in the FUCK! I didn't ask for this bullshit!'
[User please select a class: Warrior, Mage, Thief, Ranger.]
'Huuuu... Alright calm down. Huu... Okay, since I am in the 100 a warrior or ranger would be the best option. I wouldn't be able to cast any good quality spells inside a dense Virgina forest.' I muse before selecting both warrior and ranger so I can see what the differences are.
[Warrior: Samurai, Knight, Barbarian.]
Info: The Warrior is commonly selected as the sword and shield, but the warrior can use a whole list of weapons in combat. Ranging from poleaxes, maces, and plain old axes. Melee Dps primarily.
[Ranger: Sniper, Savage, Sapper.]
Info: The Ranger is commonly selected as the bow, but the ranger can use other ranged weapon's as well including short bow's, longbows, and depending on what subclass you chose even daggers. Range Dps Primarily.
'What would happen if I were to use a bow as a warrior system?'
[The User would still gain the skill [Archery] but it would level at a slower rate compared to your other skills.]
'Sniper sounds enticing but I'll have to go with the warrior class. A knight would be far more beneficial in the long run. Even if I do acquire a gun.'
[Class chosen: Knight]
[Skill Gained:]
[Swordsmanship] (Passive) - Lvl. 1/100 {Novice}
[Due to selecting knight as your class the following stat points have been applied: STR +8, AGI +4, VIT + 10, INT +0.]
[Class item received: x1 Steel Sword.]
[Steel Sword] {+10 Attack}
'Already some basic class skills, bonuses, and items! Nice I think I'll be set for a-.' My internal musing was cut short by the system's next announcement.
[Are you ready to transmigrate into the 100!]
[Yes or No?]
'Is there a need to ask that? Yes', after selecting yes, a swirling purple and blue portal appears in front of me and sucks me in, rendering me unconscious.

- The Ark | The Sky Box -
Opening my eyes and seeing a blank white ceiling above me notifies me to where I am. 'The Sky box' leaning up in my cot and shoving the poorly strewn together blanket off me I get up and look for a mirror. After Gaining the [Observe] skill I get slightly agitated at not finding one, I think 'status' which displays my name, my stats, as well as my appearance! Yay!

[Steel Sword] {+10 Attack}
'All right +10 attack for my first sword is good and it will only be amplified by my 18-strength stat.' Deciding to test it out I begin to test swing it a few times, after 10 swings I received a notification that one of my skills leveled up.

- 1 week later -
The Arthur Pendragon on the Ark was born on September 23rd, 2132. Arthur was born to Andrew Pendragon and a mother that died during childbirth, that his father would never talk about, therefore he was never able to find out her name. Andrew floated with Octavia's mother Aurora after attempting to help hide Octavia during the masquerade ball. Once Andrew was floated Arthur was forced to fend for himself. Arthur would steal food every now and then, but he was put in the sky box after being discovered with an extra loaf of bread.
Now though with my status screen open, it displays my somewhat muscular 6'1, 17-year-old figure that I can't help but be proud of knowing how much I've done to improve in such a short amount of time.

After completing the quest, the first day, it came back the next, and then the next, and the next and so on. Except unlike the first set of rewards the rewards that came after were just +3 stat points, not that I'm complaining or anything but if the random loot box leads to an instant dungeon, I'm done.
*BRRRRR*
The Light's flood on and the door unlocked and opened, revealing two black football looking gear armored guards. Both guards are armed with their shock batons but only one has it at the ready, the other one is carrying a rectangular gray and silver box.
'About time.' I mentally groan, look I like grinding as much as the next person but being by myself in this all-white cell for a week can cause some unnecessary thoughts to roam around up in your brain.
"Prisoner 3-2-0, face the wall." I walk over towards the far wall and stare at it.
"Care to explain what you guys are doing?" I ask despite knowing they won't give me an answer.
"Quiet. Hold out your right arm." Doing as instructed I hold out my right arm and watch as they place the wrist band on. And damn did that shit sting, it was like someone stuck staples in my arm.
Upon walking out the large white and orange metal door, I'm met with the sounds of 100 teenagers wondering where the hell they were going, why, and some were even resisting. Looking over to my right I was met with the sight of Clarke Griffin being hugged by her mother before being shot with a tranquilizer dart and dropping to the floor in her mother's arms.
I was escorted with the rest of the 100 onto the dropship while Clarke was carried in on a gurney and then set into her seat next to me by the last two guards on the ship. Upon their exit, the dropship kick started into motion, and the side thrusters that helped direct the dropship activated.
A few minutes later, I heard a groan to my left. Clarke's eyes were slightly open, and it was clear she was taking in the scenery around her wondering where she was exactly. "Welcome back, enjoy the power nap?" I ask as she shifts her gaze towards me before looking down at her wrist band and wincing. When she looks back towards me, she looks past me and spots Wells on my right.
"Wells, why the hell are you here?" she asks in an angry tone.
"When I found out they were sending prisoners to the ground, I got myself arrested. I came for you." He explains with a big smile on his face.
*CRASH*
"AAH!"
"OH!"
"OH!"
"What was that?" Clarke asks, and as Wells goes to open his mouth to explain, I cut him off.
"That was the atmosphere." I explain.
"Who are you?" she asks as she shifts her attention away from Wells and onto me. I go to open my mouth too, but I am interrupted as the screens turn on, revealing the chancellor, Thelonious Jaha.
"Prisoners of the Ark, hear me now. You've been given a second chance, and as your chancellor, it is my hope that you see this as not just a chance for you, but a chance for all of us, indeed for mankind itself. We have no idea what is waiting for you down there. If the odds of survival were better, we would've sent others. Frankly, we're sending you because your crimes make you expendable. However, if you do survive those crimes will be forgiven, your records wiped clean. The drop site has been chosen carefully. Before the last war, Mount Weather was a military base built within a mountain. It was to be stocked with enough nonperishables to sustain 300 people for up to two years. No one-"
Tuning out Jaha for a second Clarke, Wells, and I all watch as people shout and encourage Finn as he unbuckles himself and begins to float.
"Check it out, your dad floated me after all." he spoke while looking at Wells.
"You should strap in before the parachutes deploy. If you don't want to die that is." I speak seriously to him, as I watch out of the corner of my eye as some of the kids attempt to disconnect their harnesses.
"Hey, you two, stay put if you want to live!" Clarke yells at two kids that are attempting to disconnect their harnesses as most of the others laugh.
"You two better stay in your seats or you will die!" I yell after her, but it is no use. They cut the harness and float.
"Hey, you're the traitor who's made solitary for a year." Finn says to Clarke. I turned wide-eyed to her.
"You've been in solitary for a whole goddamn year!" She turns towards me and nods, so I continue. "I was in there for a week and could barely hold my sanity, you got some impressive walls up there." She smiles at the compliment before she turns back towards Finn and tells him off.
"And you're the idiot who wasted a month of oxygen on an illegal spacewalk."
"But it was fun. I'm Finn." he replies.
I was tempted to respond, 'did anyone ask' but I was interrupted by Clarke as she turned to me and once again asked what my name was. "Arthur. Arthur Pendragon." I spoke while looking away from her. Shifting my gaze back at Clarke, I was met with her bright blue eyes staring up into my gold. "Yes?" she blushed at being caught staring and looked away. 'What the fuc-'
*CRASH*
The parachutes deployed sending Finn and the other two kids flying, crashing into wires and pipes in the process. Wells turned towards Clarke and attempted to apologize for getting her father executed, but she quickly brushed him off by responding that she hated him.
The reverse thrusters kicked on and the dropship began to slow, and the lights slowly returned to normal. After hearing the thrusters turn off, I jumped out of my seat and checked on the two guys that were flung about when the parachutes went off. Checking their pulses and finding none I turn back to Clarke and shake my head, "they're dead." I got up and walked back over to Clarke where Finn had his head down in shame. "You know they're dead because of you right?" I ask while looking at him dead in the eyes.
"Of course, I know that!" he says as he glares at me.
"Good, then don't do stupid shit next time." I tell him before we all hear someone shout from downstairs that the outer door is down there.
With Wells still in a stupor after Clarke told him that she hated him, and Finn had his head down in shame at getting two kids killed. Clarke ran to stop them with me following behind her. Climbing down from the ladder I spotted Bellamy telling people to back up. Clarke went to go stop him, but I grabbed her shoulder and stopped her. She turned back towards me and asked what the hell was wrong with me. "It doesn't matter if the air is toxic, we will die either way." I explained to her, and she got it as she stayed back next to me instead of causing a scene like Bellamy and Octavia reuniting caused. "Hey, sorry but I never got your name?"
"Oh, sorry my name is Clarke Griffin." she said with a smile, though it was slightly forced.
"Nice to meet you, Clarke."
"Nice to meet you too, Arthur." she responded as Bellamy opened the door and Octavia began to slowly walk out, until her feet touched down on the dirt, and she screamed in excitement.
"We're back, bitches!"
