Have you ever wondered where you'd end up after death? Because, apparently, your new life starts as soon as the old one ends.
Now, I wasn't much in life. Just out of collage with a degree in chemistry and about to start my first day on the job. Well, more like intern, but you get what I mean.
Anyways, I'm dead. From what I could see from my last moments, a truck spun out of control while I was crossing. I didn't die to the truck crashing into me directly, I died after I got flung into something, I'm guessing a pole.
After freaking out a bit about said death, I've realized that I'm going to be reborn. However, currently my body is in a zygote, meaning there isn't much to do...
If it weren't for this:
Name: None
Age: (9 Months till Birth)
Race: Unknown
Title(s): Reincarnated, The Editor
Health: [10/10]
Mana: [10/10]
[Stats](+)
[Skills](+)
This... system is odd in ways I couldn't describe properly. I don't remember my old name but that seems appropriate for a reincarnation, my body hasn't even formed, so the race being unknown fits. Those titles are...one is pretty self explanatory, the other however:
Title: The Editor
Effect: You may freely edit anything about anything you are currently touching. The effects of an edit on living objects shall take 1 day to finalize. Can't be used while in combat.
If this was a game, that would be overwhelmingly powerful. Let me just check on the other things here...like Stats!
[Stats] [Physical] [Mental] [Spiritual] [Offense] 1 1 1 [Defense] 1 1 1 [Dexterity] 1 1
1

Huh... I'm most likely going to be addicted to seeing those numbers go up. Anyways, what about Skills?

Welcome to your Personal Shop, user! [Search Engine]
[Gacha]
Clicking on gacha, I got what I expected. A choice to spend 10 Points for a single spin for any skill related to any others in my status, or I could pay 100 for 11 spins for any skill.
Before I did anything, I looked for a skill through the Search Engine and it costed over 200 Points to get, so to the Gacha I go!
And these are some of the results of the 11 pulls. There were others, but they were things like Seduction and oddly, Curse Eater.
