In a small apartment with only two rooms, one being the bathroom was an assortment of anime and video game paraphernalia, from posters of cute anime girls doing certain poses to a large glass display cabinet showcasing mechanical looking humanoids with various weaponry, otherwise called mechas, or Gundams by otakus.

Aside from that cabinet were multiple other display cabinets with other various other items such as skimpily clad anime girl figurines to even some figurines of popular hero movie characters like iron-man and spider-man.

The bed as well had a cute pattern of chibi anime characters along with the pillow, Just across from the bed that was situated at the corner of the room was a gaming set-up with a large wooden desk, three high-quality monitors and gaming PC just underneath.

Unlike usual gaming setups, the wires were not messy and were actually zip-tied together, atop the desk along with the monitors were several miscellaneous items like figurines, drinks and snacks, and a thick notebook that seemed to be nearly full with several other notebooks that had been completely written in nearby.

Sitting on a gaming swivel chair with a pair of gaming headphones on was a middle-aged man that looked like he was in his late forties with short brown hair and deep brown eyes. Though he would not be considered handsome by the general populace, his face was above average mainly due to the good hygiene he practices daily.

If people were to see him walking the streets they would not consider him fat, but would not consider him fit either, though he does have a bit of a gut from eating fast-food quite frequently. Despite that, he had taught himself to cook some simple dishes such as mac and cheese, gravy, fried chicken and various other unhealthy yet delicious dishes.

Currently, he was playing a relatively new MMORPG that came out a couple of months ago called 'God Descendents' where players are the descendants of the gods in the game, It was extremely popular due to the endless combinations of skills and abilities players can choose from and the fact that there were no specific classes and thus no class restrictions.

He was currently level 57, which could be considered one of the highest levels a player could have in the game, with the majority still at level 30 to 40, with professionals still at level 40 to 50. Though he didn't have the highest level in the game, the honor going to someone with level 63, it still showcased his skill and expertise which made anyone who saw his level flock to his character with party and guild invites.

His character was currently at a secluded corner of the map where he had discovered a good farming spot for his current level with no one else around, though he knew some players had followed him to discover any good farming spots such as this one. Luckily they were all normal players with an average of level 30 to 35 and he had purposely led them to certain areas with mobs that could easily kill and distract them while his character slid away to go to his farming spot.

He had been farming in that particular spot for the past hour and a half while listening to a playlist consisting of his favorite songs from anime and popular artists. His character on-screen had suddenly stopped moving along with the mobs he had been farming, the in-game music that had been playing had stopped as well.

Thinking it was a lag spike he waited patiently for it to stop, after a few seconds a small frown appeared on his face followed by an annoyed groan tens of seconds after. The computer seemed to have hanged as he was unable to move his mouse or exit the game. 

It was quite unusual as he had personally built this PC with the latest parts and had experienced little to no lag or problems when using it even to play games with insane graphics settings. He reached down to manually turn off his PC to reboot it but was confused when the screen still showed the frozen game. 

Thinking his computer had somehow broken, he laid down onto his bed wanting to watch some new anime episodes he had stockpiled on his phone as he was too lazy currently to find out what was wrong with his computer.

And just like his computer, his phone refused to light up as well. He knew that it wasn't simply uncharged as it would still display a battery icon that was empty which would indicate that it needed charging, but it had not appeared.

He finally noticed something was wrong as he strained his ears and discovered that he could no longer hear the sounds of cars and the general sounds he usually heard outside his apartment. He hurriedly ran to his glass balcony door and pulled the closed curtains aside, revealing a world of white.

Not believing what he saw, he opened the door and stepped out onto the balcony, confirming that no matter which angle he looked from, all he saw was a never-ending white background. He withheld any sort of speculation surrounding his current predicament and attempted to open his front door. 

His door didn't even budge, nor was he able to even turn the doorknob, this whole situation didn't match any of the scenarios he had read in novels before besides the ones where you were a soul floating in an endless expanse of nothingness. 

This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.

Though he wasn't a soul and it was his apartment that was floating amongst nothingness. He was expecting some otherworldly entity to come and explain the situation to him as he hoped that it didn't just leave him stranded in the middle of nothingness as a joke or because they were bored.

Deciding to wait until something changes he sat back down on his gaming chair and looked through his notebooks filled to the brim with ideas and plans of adventures in other worlds or if the world experienced an apocalypse, he had properly researched all sorts of survival guides and had even purchased loads of survival equipment online just in case.

He had even bought a cool multi-tool shovel that looked like it came from a sci-fi movie just leaning against the wall as he enjoyed looking at it from time to time.

After an hour or so of reading through his notebooks and fiddling with his shovel, swinging it around like it was a weapon, the speakers on his desk started playing static sounds before an androgynous voice started speaking. 

'Testing testing, can you hear me? I Apologise for the delay as my schedule has been quite tight lately'  The voice spoke out in an apologetic tone. 

He wasn't upset in the slightest and was actually extremely relieved that someone finally came, or came at all as in a small corner of his mind, he had imagined himself dying of starvation and thirst in his apartment in the middle of the great expanse of nothingness.

"I-It's fine!! It's totally fine, I occupied myself with my notebooks so It didn't feel like a long time." He answered politely, and it was also true that was engrossed in his notebooks as he was already imagining scenarios of what was to come as his situation was within the realms of fiction. 

'I am glad that is the case, I will delay no longer and explain the circumstances you find yourself in, feel free to interrupt at any moment for questions you have but I would recommend waiting when I am finished as most of them should be answered with my explanation.'

He nodded in understanding as he sat down on his gaming chair to listen to the otherworldly being's explanation, taking out a fresh notebook and getting ready to take down notes. 

The being chuckled lightly as they somehow saw him ready to take down notes and spoke out.

'That will be unnecessary dear candidate, Our conversation will be logged here on your monitor along with visual aid when I deem it is needed'

The middle monitor had changed from his frozen game to a blank background filled with text of what they previously had spoken. 

The otherworldly being was referred to as '???' while he was referred to as 'candidate'.

'Now I shall begin. You, dear candidate, have been chosen to transmigrate to another world'

'But of course, with situations like this, you would be receiving powers and abilities to be able to thrive and survive in the other world'

'When a candidate is selected, they are assigned a random number of points within a predetermined range along with additional points based on the life they had lived up to that point, due to certain rules I am unable to inform you of how your life is scored in relation to points but can tell you that you have 37% more points gained from your life compared to 60% of all candidates'

A graph appeared on the monitor that displayed the differences between him and other candidates, showing that he was in the upper percentile, but compared to the candidates at the end of the graph, he could not even be compared to them.

'The random number of points you have obtained is in the top 15th percentile, having 108% more points than 80% of all candidates, I would like to congratulate you on your immense luck.' 

Another graph appeared similar to the previous one, and it was visible that he was at the far end of the spectrum along with other fortuitous candidates, but still nowhere close to the ones near the top.

'With these points, you are able to purchase anything you desire within your imagination and more, the reason I mentioned powers and abilities earlier is due to them being the most useful and what the majority of candidates focus on.'

'You can mix and match anything you desire such as having an immense number of skills and abilities that are weak but greatly complement each other or focus fully into one power, as it is within your imagination you can even imagine how much points it would cost and we would provide it, though its quality would be restricted by how much points you had allocated.'

'Asking for enhanced strength with a higher point cost will obviously make it stronger, and the opposite weaker, so that candidates are able to properly synergize their skills and powers to their heart's content.'

'Also, anything deemed to be temporary or consumable is strictly disallowed to be purchased and we try to accommodate by suggesting the next cheapest permanent alternative'

'An example would be if a candidate wishes to have a burger when he arrives at the other world, we would reject his request and suggest an ability to create a single burger after a certain period of time, which would be deemed as infinite consumable regardless of the period it takes to create another one.'

'Another example is if someone wishes to have a weapon when they enter the other world and we usually suggest making it soul-bound which would allow it to be summoned if lost or stolen, along with the ability to regenerate itself if broken or destroyed but at a certain cost. We also suggest adding a growth factor or evolution factor that allows the weapons to evolve and grow stronger along with the candidate so as to still be useful at the later stages of their strength and life'

The more and more he listened to the being talk, the more excited he started to get as he shook in excitement at all the possibilities, though he more or less already knew what he was going to buy. 

'Now that I have explained the basics, are there any questions that you have for me? I shall answer to the best of my ability and what is allowed'

Without hesitation, he shouted out his question as if he was holding it in since the beginning.

"Can you make me the cutest?! The cutest in the Omniverse!"
