Chapter 2 - Using The System Ticket!

I still can't believe what is going on.
But this is, undoubtedly, real life.
Had just woken up like any other day.
I walked to the bathroom, took a bath, then headed to the kitchen to have some kick breakfast, cereal, and milk as always. Maybe an apple too.
But before I could even reach the kitchen, I started to hear dinging sounds.
A holographic window suddenly showed up right in front of my face and began to talk with a feminine mechanical voice.
The Ragnar?k was coming.
Whoever this "Great Supreme Above All Creation" was… he was not fucking around anymore.
He decided that all the dimensions that were worthless were going to merge, and their populations were going to fight for supremacy.
Whoever stands at the end… wins, and keeps their dimension from being obliterated alongside the other fused ones.
But how does that even work if the dimensions are all fused?
Well, if that dude has the power to destroy whole dimensions I won't doubt that he might have the power to separate them back and destroy them as he goes.
Why am I believing all of this so fast? I don't know. Maybe I have always wanted this, I am a bit edgy, maybe.
But the thing is… my heart is beating a lot.
I quickly find that there is indeed something inside of my pocket.
I slowly move my hand to it and grasp it.
It is… something like a plastic voucher.
I take it out and its splendor almost blinds me.
It shines with the colors of the rainbow.
It has big letters saying, "Supreme System Ticket".
It begins to glow with a faint yet mystical aura… This thing is real-life fantasy. I can clearly see it just by looking at this and sensing whatever this presence is.
A chill runs through my spine as my eyes can't stop glaring at the item.
There are a few small letters that I can read as well…
They say: "Simply will it to use this item. After using it, a special Supreme System will be designed and given to you. The Supreme System will be planted into your Soul Origin, and cannot be taken away from you through common means".
Eh? This… doesn't answer most of the questions inside of my mind!
How do this even works?!
From where do I get the power to ever acquire the System?
No, no, I don't have to get like this.
I should simply use it and stop fucking around… If that counter were right, I only have 6 days to prepare for the "merge" between Dimensions, I would assume.
And then… shit will get real.
I have read and written enough novels to know what might happen.
Gates opening everywhere, monsters and other creatures from different dimensions getting inside, complete chaos, the apocalypse.
People all around will begin to die, and the strong extra-dimensional entities will begin conquering this world.
I have to get as much of an advantage as I can, by any means possible.
I don't waste any other second as I put my intent into the ticket.
Use it!
FLASH!
It suddenly begins to glow.
The rainbow light encompasses my entire body, I am engulfed in pure light.
The light suddenly compacts itself, however, until it takes the size of a grain of rice.
It quickly rushes inside of my very body, flowing towards the depths of my very being.
Before this, I didn't even believe that Souls really existed… But now that I am sensing this speck of light reach it, I can really see that it does exist.
My soul… so souls really do exist.
Amazing.
My soul is rather small, however, it resembles a tiny, white-colored flame.
When the speck of light reaches it, it merges with my soul.
FLASH!
Ungh…
I don't feel any pain, but there is indeed a feeling of discomfort.
It feels as if something was touching my very being, what makes my existence real.
However, the discomfort fades away almost immediately.
A rush of power encompasses my entire being.
I almost feel like passing out.
And I do…
…
Ugh.
Eh? Where am I?
Suddenly, as I passed out due to the amount of energy, I wake up in a completely black space.
[System Seed has been successfully planted]
[Initiating System Circuits]
In front of me, a sudden floating cube made of blue-colored crystal glows constantly.
It suddenly begins to expand various circuits all around this black space.
[System Assimilation Success]
[Welcome, [Player #15: Gustav], this is your [Supreme System] assigned A.I.]
It can talk…
Ugh, no, I hate annoying Systems that speak and insult the protagonist…
[My independent thought process is only limited to the System, I was made to not interfere with your daily life nor to annoy you in any shape or form]
Well, that's convenient.
So what's up? What do you do? What's the special thing?
[The System has been implanted into the user's soul, but the system must first take a glance at the user's mind and memories and determine the best and most fitting System for him]
Are you kidding me? No! Don't look at my memories!
[Then there is no System for you]
Okay, look at my memories…
I quickly give up on it. If I can get power from this… look at my damn memories, fine.
[Initiating…]
Flash!
A sudden force begins to enter my very mind.
Suddenly, a massive series of images emerge, coming right out of my mind.
These are my memories, all of them.
They flow like constant images, like videos, perhaps.
And the light that is taking them out is constantly seeing them all, analyzing…
This is nothing but terrifying.
But I brace myself.
After a while, it finally ends.
My head hurts.
I glance at the holographic window in front of me within this black landscape, which is most probably some kind of representation of the interior of my soul or something.
[90%... 94%... 99%... 100%]
Ding!
[Analysis complete]
[Your greatest desires are as follows]
[To never be alone]
[To find a girlfriend]
[To have strength]
[To explore other worlds]
[To meet your fictional created characters]
[To own every character in a gacha]
Eh?! Do you have to show it to me? That's embarrassing. For fuck's sake…
Wait, gacha?!
Yeah, I played gacha games before, but I have already rehabilitated from that dark past!
[Generating System Synapsis for the desired System type…]
Ding!
[You have been granted the [Supreme Gacha System]!]
What.
