Hi my name is Victor Rubelius fancy name right, but do not let that deceive you. I grew up in an ordinary middle-class family and even my childhood was what most people would call ordinary.

Except one thing that has had an big impact on my life. Believe it or not I fell in love when I was young, you might say who hasn´t, buut mine experience slightly more complicated and some might say unhealthy (let´s be honest it´s really stupid).

Anyway I become obsessed with the game Sim City!, Now your thought is: you can´t count that as real love, but I beg the differ when you can´t stop thinking about something and want to spend your every second with something then that is love!. If not then please tell me what is.

Well that´s not so important or maybe it is. It the reason for being here today, walking down this side walk in a big city full of people heading somewhere is because of our choices when we experience what is called life right!?

Back to the present I´m 27 now and well just let´s say I look average not to tall or short. As I was saying I´m now taking a big step towards fullfilling my dream. I got a job (finally) as a city architect and it´s my first day, right now I can only be described as excited (Hyped) and slightly nervous but it is expected since I´m joining a big corporation.

Right!, nearly forgot, my dream is to design my own city. Told you it was important, and I have been working hard for this by focusing on studying, few weekends went to socialize and to be honest it was to create "contacts" otherwise it would be impossible to get a job, you need to advertise yourself or else it be hard to get a job that´s the sad truth in this world. From this you can probably guess what happened with socializing with the opposite gender, frankly I suck! Luckily their are "aggressive" women, so I HAVE been on a few dates but since my priorities lied elsewhere the sad truth is: I´m still a virgin. Not much more I can say about that, do I regret it?, don´t know? it´s not like I can miss something I never had.

Well even if I can manage to get a high position in this company I already know that my work probably be to improve some roads and if I´m lucky I might get to join some big project like redesigning the city center. Not close to my dream? well I say you never know what happen in the future so I can´t stop now can I?!

While I was immersed in my thoughts it suddenly hit me!

And no not a thought it literally hit me! The truck did, at least I think it was a truck I got that impression when it rammed me.

I don´t know what happened? I shouldn´t go and daydream, now that I think about it I´m actually surprised this didn´t happen earlier. I mean I practically do it everyday, well what do I do now everything is still just white no sound or anything. Shall it only be like this?

"Huuh... Maybe this is a punishment. What can I do now?" I murmur in a depressed tone.

"How about become my apprentice?" (unknown voice)

Did someone just answer me? Weird it´s still white everywhere I look and I can´t even see myself. That´s really creepy and now there is someone else here, well seems like I only have one choice:

"who are you?" (Victor)

"I am...hmmm....does it really matter? Well do you want to become my apprentice? If so I will send you to another realm and give you a new body with some powers. hehee..." (unknown voice)

"Huh" (Victor)

What was that? I didn´t even have a chance to interrupt and I couldn´t help notice that evil laugh on the end. What do I do? this is all so insane, let´s leave it to business mode it has worked before.

"For such a sweet deal there must be a catch. What do you want?" (Victor)

"HAHA sharp but I don´t really want anything from you, you can se this more like a test to become my apprentice. And if you fail you will die! (unknown voice)

"Well I´m already dead so I don´t see why not. But you said you give me a new body with powers?, how does that work? and another realm, what is that?" (Victor)

"Okay!, listen closely now. Since you died you need a new body and the world I will send you to has a system where everything has stats like in those games you hold so dear. And as such they are separated and lies in another realm then your world, as for the powers I will give you:

First of is [Ageless] meaning your body will not change but you can still be killed. Secondly is [Transmutation] but you will only be able to change inanimate objects. Thirdly is [sense] basically it makes you able to feel everything around you. And lastly is [Identification] that will show information about the targeted object. Well normally you would have to grind and level up each ability, but since I´m generous I leave them on max. Basically it´s a level that´s impossible to reach!, Ah whatever any questions?:" (unknown voice)

"Seriously that sounds awsome! but why me? and what do you expect me to do with those powers?" (Victor)

"Hmm... Well your character maybe...it doesn´t really matter, the only thing I expect you to do is build some amazing stuff!" (unknown voice)

I can´t see any drawbacks in this deal, who cares if I die again! Now I have chance to realize my dream of course I have to accept!

"It´s a deal I gladly accept!" (Victor)

"PERFECT! Hehee....." (unknown voice)

What´s this? I suddenly have a bad feeling and before I can say something.

"Oh nearly forgott, the trial is over when you die! Good luck in your New body Hahahahaa." (unknown voice)

Before my consciousness faded I had a bad feeling that I forgott to get all the details on this deal and the last thing I could hear before it faded completly was that voice´s booming laughter.
