*General POV*
Axel Boyd was waking up to do his monotonous daily routine. Showering, getting dressed, brushing his teeth, going to work and then coming back and sleeping, only to do it again and again. Naturally, he turned to all forms of media to spice up his life and after hearing about anime from a co-worker of his, he found that it really wasn't for him as he could only get through a couple episodes of an anime before dropping it. With this in mind, he turned to TV shows like the walking dead or breaking bad but even then he could not shake off that feeling of boredom.
In trying to find any way to entertain himself, he turned to fitness. He would often drown out his feelings of tiredness and boredom at the gym. And while he had an athletic body, he did not want to end up like a bodybuilder with overly grown muscles. This led him to have an above average body with more defining features than an average person. (think goku or naruto but a bit less chiseled)
this repeating lifestyle of his continued for what seemed like centuries, until one day, while walking back home from work, he's unfortunate enough to get hit by a falling air conditioning unit falling from someone's window.
*Simus POV*
"Are they STILL appointing champions." I couldn't help but complain. I've tried to warn them about what would happen, I've tried to solve this peacefully, I've tried to stop them before it escalated this much but apparently they were too blinded by their greed for power and recognition to listen. So this time, i have no choice but to make them listen. But how the hell would i do that?
"I GOT IT" I exclaimed after a moment of thinking, surprised by my own genius. If i make my own champion, whose sole purpose is to destroy their champions, then not only would the death rates cause by them decrease, but the other gods would have no reason but to listen to my reasoning for this action.
Now that i have my master plan, who should i sponsor as my champion. let's see ..... he has to be at least knowlegable of these powers existance, but not so obsessed that he does what the other champions have done ... he also has to be somewhat fit and have a good grasp on things in order to accomplish the mission ..... and lastly he also shouldn't be too emotional about losing his current life and should be excited for change.
After about a week of scrolling through tens of thousands of options, he settled on one that he believed perfectly fit the role. "Axel Boyd. Let's see if you have what it takes to stop this madness once and for all."
*Axel Boyd*
"Owwwwww. my head." I was forced to hiss. where was I. Why does my head hurt this much. Am I hungover? But I didn't drink anything.
"Okay, let me retrace my steps. So first, i was walking back from work, then ..... I was here." Well that was pointless. after regaining my senses a bit, I realized I was sitting in a forest that had trees as tall as skyscrapers and as wide as nikocado avocado. Well, maybe a bit less wide. Wait, am I younger than I used to be? I don't have any stuble and am slightly shorter than what i used to be
But I digress, where was I and how did I get here and what should I do now. "Oh yeah, didn't I take that "surviving in the wild" course a while back. What was the first step again. After thinking it over for a moment, I remembered that the first thing to do is identify what items i had right now. Lets see, i have my phone, my wallet, a note, and a bubblegum wrappe- wait, a note? I don't remember having this. What does it say?
"hello there mortal. some of the other gods have been getting corrupted by power with their champions killing and ruling thousands of worlds. i need you to find them and send them back to me to continue the cycle of life and death and restore balance in the multiverse. to do this, i have gifted you a random power from your world, but be careful, eventhough they do not know who will try to kill them, they do know they are being hunted. good luck."
"What the fu-" I tried to ask but was interupted by a slightly transparent blue screen exclaiming
- Greetings host, to the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure system-
OK, wait wait wait, what's happening. God's champions, system. Is.....Is this a drug trip?
-I'm afraid not, host-
"ok then can you explain wha- wait, did you just read my mind"
-Affirmative host-
Ok then system, mind explaining what the f**k is going on.
-I apologize host, but your clearance level is not high enough to know any further information yet-
oh ok. Wait, why am I not panicking right now. I mean, all of this seems kind of fictional doesn't it.
-That is my doing host-
Since you can apparently read my mind, you should know what I'm going to ask next right.
-affirmative host. The system's main function is to give you enough strength to eliminate the reincarnator that is harming this world and subsequently the universe's natural balance-
Then how are you going to give me this strength. and which world are you be talking about.
-you can gain this strength by buying "stands" from the system sho- Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error. Host lacks knowledge about stands and their functions. "Stands" are physical manifestations of a human's lifeforce. host starts with 300 ST (System Tokens) and can buy stands at the system shop for 150 ST each. You can collect ST by hunting reincarnators and travelling to new worlds. the system also has another function built for you convenience. It can play music in your head for you with adjustable volume for your entertainment. you can find all the stands that can be purchased, all the stands that are purchased, and the music functions using the 3 tabs at the top of the system interface-
System, is there a way to see what any of these stands can do or measure a stand's value.
-The only way for host to know about a stand is to buy it-
Wait, so what if i buy a really shitty one or buy one accidentally.
-Host will have to live with his decision-
By the way, you never told me the abilities that these "champions" possess. Surely I can't be the only one with powers like these.
-the champions can only aquire and use one special ability from the world they exist in due to the nature of the god's blessing-
Ok then system, can you open the menu of all stands i could purchase. And also, could you be a bit less formal. Stop calling me "Host."
-Ok host-
-stands-
-Golden Experience 150 ST-
-Eearth,Wind and Fire 150 ST-
-Hermit Purple 150 ST-
-Stone Free 150 ST-
-Requim Arrow 2000 ST-
System, what's a "Requiem Arrow" and what makes it so expensive.
-you have to buy it to find out-
Fine then, keep your secrets. Oh, I recognize some of the names as band names like Metallica, Pearl Jam and Earth Wind and Fir-
"OWWWWWWW, goddamn it, what the he- system,why is there a plus one next to the purchased tab"
-because you have purchased the stand "Earth, Wind and Fire"-
"WHAT!" I didn't buy anything though. It was a mistake, something bit me in the leg and accidentally pressed it. System, can I return my purchased stand and get my points back.
-this question has been asked and answered earlier in this conversation-
SHIT, I just used half of my points. Well all I can do now is hope that the stand i bought is good.
-Earth, Wind and Fire:
This stand allows the host to transform into any simple object the host can visualize. this comes with certain limitations:
Firstly, you cannot reproduce complex items like machines or something that requires more strength than your own to operate.
Secondly, you must have a precise idea of what you're transforming into, lest your replication end up largely inaccurate
Lastly, you must have decent amount of concentration to keep the transformation active. If you panic or lose focus, then you will tranform randomly before transforming back to your original shape-
This can actually become pretty useful for me. Though the last limitation might be tough to accomplish under stressful circumstances, with enough practice, this stand could be amazing.
Let me try to turn into a rock. Closing my eyes and visualizing the rock's shape, I open my eyes to suddenly see myself extremely close to the ground, thus leading me to believe that I had successfully turned into a rock.
I transform back into my original body and marvel at the fact that i can change my arms and legs into anything, But while doing this, I hear an extremely strange sound coming close from my left.
"thud, thud, Thud, THud, THUd, THUD, THUD"
Not wanting to take any chances in a new world, i transform myself into a twig and hope to see what was making that noise, I see a giant humanoid figure pass by the gap in between two trees to my right, only about 10 meters from where i am sitting. And once i see what it is, I immediately felt myself exiting my transformation and becoming a human again, however, thankfully, it seems to have passed me.
What's strange though is that i didn't hear anymore footsteps. and with this in mind, my heart started to race faster than i could ever believe is healthy for a person, and turning around, I see the one thing i wished i wouldn't see.
A massive eye staring down at me like I was an afternoon snack. Greedily smiling a smile that even the devil himself would fear as it started lumbering towards me. My mind told my body to do one thing
RUUUUUNN (NIGERUNDAYO)
And my body followed that command immediately. Running as fast as my body could allow, I ran without looking back, trying my hardest not to trip on any shrubbery or roots laid on the ground and once i got a considerable distance away, i hid behind a tree and tried to do one of the only things that i could think of to save me. transform.
And so i tried to transform as best i can, desperately trying to ignore the giant and focus on the transformation, but this focus was not helped by the giant's footsteps getting closer and closer to the tree i was hiding behind. I even tried playing calming music from the music section to try and calm my nerves.
after 15 seconds of trying and failing, The giant finally reaches the tree I am hiding behind and reaches out to grab me.
Transform, Transform, Transform, TRANSFORM GODDAMIT
I screamed in my mind with my determination to live and while the titan was about to grasp me, I turned into a stick about half a meter in length on the ground. The titan watched with it's prying eyes, trying to find out where it's prey went until after a moment of looking, thankfully, it wandered off, leaving me alone to thank god for my luck on buying this stand. Wait, a god actually put me in this position so I guess I should blame him.
Looking at the setting sun, I figured I should find a place to sleep for the night and the only place I could think of are the massive branches hanging above my head. So with that in mind, I turned my hands into tools similar to ice picks and removed my shoes to turn my toes into spikes to climb the closest tree I could find.
lying down on the enormous branch (that's what she said), I close my eyes and fall asleep immediately, my only thought being to curse the person who put me in the attack on titan world.
