"Howdy!
I'm FLOWEY!
FLOWEY the FLOWER!" It(?) said with a smile.
I was looking at a friendly talking and smiling golden flower, that was summoned from the fire that consumed a demonic god. Everything was screaming "It's a trap!" or " Don't trust the flower."
Even so, I had to trust it, it was the only thing I could do.
"You don't know what's going on, don't you? Someone needs to explain everything to you, right? I guess lil' old me will have to do."
"First of, this slot machine is something highly regarded in His world. It started as a joke but it became popular and then was considered as one of the highest rewards you could get.This thing was changing the lives of the ones using it after all."
"Now take this !" It said as it launched a sheet of paper with a ridiculous speed to me.
I didn't even understand what just happened until I turned my head I saw the paper stuck in the wall.
"Ohoh, sorry best friend, I just too much strength, don't hold it against me, please.This will explain what is the slot does.But don't worry we can't hurt people without power, so it would have done nothing."
I decided to simply accept its excuses along with his explication and just took the paper, that was a notice out, of the wall.
'By yours truly the P.L.O.T machine.
At first, considered as a Joke reward, it had a huge success in his first form. Paying a modest fee to use this invention to have a chance to win some of the best power available.
The Power Giving Slot Machine From Trash to God or P.G.S.M.F.T.G, changed the fate of the one using it, giving him either enough power to control a world or enough tears to cry for a lifetime.
It was modified by God Dio, saying that the one playing didn't have enough to lose Changing the P.G.M.S.M.F.T.G into the P.L.OT (Powers: Lord or Trash) machine that could give only two types of power: one of the best or one of the trashiest.
Warning: One soul can usually take a power and two at best, more and it will overload and explode.
To be used with caution.'
Wait What is this warning?!!
"I've given you 15 seconds, that's enough, let's go!! ROLL" With that said the machine, with music and visual effect switch itself on. A crowd of humanoid shadow appeared on the wall.
"What the Hell is happening??!!Who are they?!!"
"Just audience." some said, "Don't worry we're just here to watch." "Another stupid one to bet his future on luck" "He got Flowey to draw his power? Poor soul" "Anyone wants to bet on what kind of power he will get?".
"Silence!You know how it works !" Said Flowey, but it was...different than when He was talking to me.He stopped smiling for one moment before starting again.
While Flowey was talking to them, the roll started.
Silence.
We could only hear the reels rolling, all eyes glued on it.
The left reel stopped itself on a 6.
I don't know what symbols are good or not but 6 should be a good symbol for a demonic God...I hope.
The left reel stopped too on a 6.
I just know that with this kind of games 3 symbols is a win.
I just need another 6, just one more.
I was praying all gods that I knew of.
A countdown appeared above the middle reel, the one still moving.
5
It started to slow down.
4
Praying.
3
Still praying.
2
It was beginning to slow down enough to distinguish some of the symbols.

Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.
I can see a 6! It's the next one! Roll! Roll! ROLL!
It was slowly advancing...
Those few seconds were the longest of my life.
Pass.
Pass.
It? Passed? It stopped itself on the 6.
I've done it?!!
0
When the 0 appeared the reel took one last violent turn, stopping itself on a turtle.
What?
No?
Noway!
I did not even register Flowey talking to me
"And it's a burst!! you didn't win boy, but don't worry boy, lil' old me is here for you." said Flowey with an even more radiant smile than earlier.
The Shadow disappeared.
Above the machine, Flaming letters came to life "Demonic deal", then rushed into me, taking me back to reality.
I felt nothing more than a breeze.
"You really had the worst possible "power". Don't worry you are weak, but with enough friendship, you can become strong too.Here take this friendship petal".
As it was talking a petal detached itself from its head and was slowly advancing toward me.
"Wait.Why don't you start by explaining to me my power?" I said dodging the petal.
In most of my life, I ever depended only on myself, I will not depend on the friendship of a flower when I'm sure that I can make this work out somehow. I've read a lot of LN and I know that any power can be useful, the usual " there are no bad powers just bad users" or something.
Plus, something seems off about this guys.
Seeing me dodge the petal, his smile became stiff a moment, but
"Howdy boy, I'm trying to help you, you know?
Well, this power is one of the worst cauz' it let you make deal with someone, for a fee. A skill that any demon possess. I know that it's useless, but with little me here, everything will be alright, so take the friendship."
This time more petals flew toward me, but I dodged them all the same.
"I think I can work with it, don't worry about it." I said with a sigh, I don't how, but I have to make this work as I don't think that Dio will accept that I don't do anything with it.
Flowey's smile slowly erased itself from its face.
"You know what's going on, don't you?" It said with a monotone voice.
"Excuse me?"
"If so, no need to hide anymore. Right, you have a weak power and no more protection.Conclusion: you are weak." Its atmosphere changed totally.
Globulous eyes and a hideous smile were what I saw when I looked at Flowey again. numerous "Friendship petals" were levitating around him.
"And here, THE STRONGS EAT THE WEAK"
And with that statement, all hell broke loose. All the petals flew toward me, and by reflex, I jumped behind the first thing near me, the mini fridge.
*ting* *ting* * ting* *ting*
Metallic sounds came from behind me.
"Howdy boy looks like I can't catch you where you are."
Those were the most beautiful words I ever heard. A feeling of safety rose inside of me.
Only to be extinguished by his next sentence.
"But don't think that It means that I can't kill you. It takes 30 sec to use again the machine.Time's up. "ROLL". You're mine boy."
I head the machine restart, and I could imagine its ugly smile while activating it again.
I tried to leave my covert, only to be struck by the power of friendship on my left shoulder, and come back to the starting point with an injury.
Friendship literally passed through me, but I can move, my arm. I don't feel any pain, God bless the adrenaline.
Well, this will hurts later, if I survive...
"FIRST Reel"
No, I have to, I can't get killed by a flower.
There must be a way to stop the machine, I just need to go next to it.
I need to move closer...but if I leave the fridge I get riddled with holes...
Why do I want to leave it?
I start to push the fridge toward flowey.
"SECOND Reel!!" it said with glee.
I was slowly coming closer, without him noticing. Just 10 more meters.
"Oy, what are you doing boy?" with that said the bombardment started again.
"Countdown"
The mini fridge was slowly being pushed back even with me pushing it, and I'm not even talking about the fact that it was starting to break down.
I had less than 5 seconds.
No time to play it safe anymore, I need something to protect me a minimum...
As I was thinking about what I could use, the bridge's door(?) fell down.
I smiled 'God does not want me to die here' I thought.
4
I jumped from behind my covert on the door.
3
I rolled on the floor and took the door putting it between me and the projectiles.
*tung* *tung*
Even while being on my knee, I had to keep my head low for it to be protected by my newly chosen shield. I swear that if I survive, I will buy one hell of a giant fridge.
2
I could feel more of the impact than before, as there was not the weight of the fridge to help me to lessen them. Still, I needed to be faster and this helps a lot.
1
I started running "shield" up in front of me, it was only protecting my upper body but this was enough.Even with all the "friendship" in my legs, I arrived in front of Flowey. He was just one step in front of me when
0
We both stood still, looking at the machine, all reels had the same symbol: a devilish dark and red 6.
"JACKPOT"
Dark and golden flaming letters appeared on top of the machine: "Focus: Health".
"Congratulations boy you're now one of the best." It smiled"Now, You can die happy,right?"
*evil laugh*
This time it was different from the first time, the fire rushed into me like a hurricane, a torrent, instead of a gentle breeze, making it hard to even breath.
During this time, the damn flower was just looking at me, smiling, waiting for me to die.
But after some time, with no explosion or other from me, he grimaced and said:
"You're one lucky boy, to think that you could take in two powers.But You still hav-"
I didn't let it finish as I rushed at him,
and bashed him with my "shied",
again,
again,
again,
until I forgot how many times I've done it.
I looked at the what was left of the flower and it looked back at me, it was alive.
Looking around me I spotted one of the dark knives that Dio used to stick me to the wall 'this will do'.
Walking back to Flower, it looked back at me and said :
"It's kill or be killed.Do it. Or I will survive and KILL everyone you love "
It cursed with a face distorted by rage and pain.
I looked calmly at the flower, the knife in my hand raised above it
and stuck, once,
then twice, then again and again and again to make it feels all the pain it puts me through.
Even so, after all of that, it was still alive.
"You should have killed me faster boy.I will have you in this timeline and every other." It said with a short pause between each word, then ...smiled?
"Time's up boy" At the moment I understood what he was saying, I struck him again, but it was too late, even while it was transforming itself into ashes he said smilingly " "ROLL" ", then disappeared.
I looked at the reels starting again, there must be something to do to stop it, I tried to look around it to see something to break or a button to push, but nothing.
The countdown began.
5
I tried with my shied to break the slot machine.
4
Not even a scratch.
3
I tried with my knife to block the reels.
2
Only to see it break.
1
I fell on my knee.
0
I felt despair.
