Getting Dragged to Another World (Dylan)

Dylan's got some big news for his best friend Anthony that night, one big bad news. He just broke up with his girlfriend, or was it the other way around. Who dumped who I wonder? We're sure Dylan wants to spill all the details but that can wait. Allow this narrator to make Dylan's night worse (or better).

When Dylan got home, he saw Anthony's light open. He knew he is still awake at this hour for that exam he needed to take later in the morning. How diligent, right? He opened the door to their apartment and saw Dylan open the fridge. He too got engulfed by that bright light. Blinded for a few moments, when he opened his eyes he was not on the apartment anymore.

Alien abduction? Not really. He found himself inside a wooden cabin, an abandoned wooden cabin. There was nothing other than cobwebs and broken floorboards. The roof's got holes too. It was morning. What happened last night? Did he doze off and sleepwalk somewhere? Was he too hungover like Nel that he found himself in this place the morning after? Dylan can not be sure.

Where was he anyway? Aside from those questions he should be wondering about one more thing. That hologram screen in front of him. Written on it were some text and numbers:
Quote:
Abilities:
STR 0 AGI 0 FGT 0 AWA 0
STA 0 DEX 0 INT 0 PRE 0
Allocate 2 points.
The other strange thing for Dylan, he knew what the text meant.
OOC:
Distribute the 2 points. You may refer to page 55 of the Hero's Handbook, then roll 4d20.

"Tony!" He shouted as the bright light engulf him.

Did Anthony hear him? He wouldn't know.
What happened? He's got no answer to that either.
Where...? Yep, Dylan doesn't know that either.

What he's sure of: His girlfriend Veronica, dumped him last night. Her girlfriend's going out with his boss. 'Fuck that guy!'

Dylan looked around for some clues how he got here. Maybe he was drugged and got dragged here. If he was abducted, why is he not restrained? Maybe his organs were harvested! Dylan checked his body but only found how awesome his abs is.

"Tony where the fuck are you!" He shouted before he noticed what was in front of him.

"Huh?" He stared at the screen for a while deciding if he should really believe that it was there or if it was just some sort of hallucination.

"I guess I should add to my awesomeness if this is what I think it is." Dylan clicked PRE twice knowing that it meant it was a point adding to his Charisma.

After pressing the hologram screen, the number beside PRE changed to 2. Dylan felt something, like he somehow became more charismatic and confident. After a few moments the numbers and letters on the screen disappeared and then new words popped out...
Quote:
(Allocate 8 Skill points)
[ ] Technology
[ ] Ranged Combat
[ ] Persuasion
[ ] Stealth
[ ] Expertise: (Free)
The word free caught Dylan's eyes and for some reason it felt like he could change this word to something he knew or love.
OOC:
Allocate the 8 points in any way you want. Skills with no points will disappear. You can place any expertise related to your background on the (free) slot. It may also be a combat skill or a ranged weapon skill, as long as it is connected to your background.

"This is stupid." Dylan gasped in frustration or sadness or both frustration and sadness.

"I should be drinking cold beer and having a smoke right now. Ugh." Dylan sighed as he tried to take in the situation he was in right now. Dylan looked at the list in front of him. Skills. Only Persuasion caught his eye. If he had that, getting gigs across the country would've been much easier. Then he looked at the Free slot and knew just what to put in there.

"Music." He was a musician, he was passionate about it until last night when his girl dumped him for a rich guy who couldn't even sing. Dylan closed his fist and grit his teeth.

Dylan placed four points on Persuasion and the other four on Music.

"You'll regret dumping me Veronica, just you wait."

After Dylan finished allocating skill points, the text vanished and then two boxes appeared on the screen, a grey one and a blue one. In the blue box was an icon of a man pointing his index finger forward as if leading an attack. Written beside it was the text: Seize Initiative.

On the grey box, the text "[ BLANK ]" was written. At first you were not sure what it meant but when you looked at it you felt strange and as you stare at it the word began to glow. Dylan began to see an image of what he want to become in his head. The "[ BLANK ]" slowly faded and the box's color turned blue. An icon was revealed and letters began to form.

What did Dylan get?
OOC:
Choose an advantage from the hero's handbook related to what Nel wanted to be. Then draw three cards

"Seize Initiative? Well, I've always been forward." Dylan muttered as he look around him for any signs of Anthony. Seeing that there was none, he'd sigh again and wish there was beer in this wooden cabin.

He looked hard at the BLANK and in his mind he saw himself as a star vocalist and guitarist. That was something he really wanted to become, a rock star and to be that guy he better be really talented and totally charismatic or filthy rich.

"I wanna be that guy!" He said to himself as the text and icon reveal itself. An icon of an icon rocking a guitar, beside it the text reads: 'Fascinate: Musician'.

Dylan felt the changes in him as if he was possessed by a real music icon. It felt like he became an instant celebrity. There was no limelight anywhere but it felt like he was basking in it. The sensation was amazing yet it can not drown the sadness and frustration he was feeling when he got dumped by Veronica. His broken heart need time to heal.

The boxes disappeared from the screen and it was replaced by three boxes with text and images on it. On the top part of the screen were the words: "Allocate 5 Power points."

Song of Gloom, Rank 0 (1 point per rank)
Dark magic. You lower the light levels around you, creating an area of gloom and shadows, which may be a useful prerequisite for
the use of other darkness powers, or simply an atmospheric environmental effect. The effect persists as long as you keep singing. You can see in this darkness. (Area covered increases per rank)

Lucky Star, Rank 0 (1 points per rank)
Luck magic. This magic will prevent misfortune from happening to someone. As a reaction, roll a D6 and target someone whose check result is lower than 10+rank. He/she may add the result to the modifier hopefully saving him/her. You may only use this once every round.

Dark Fairy, Veronica Rank 0 (1 point per rank)
Summon a fairy of darkness. You may only use this once a day. Veronica will return back to fairyland after an hour. (Veronica's power increases per rank)

"Ve-... Veronica!?" He yelled as he clench his fist and grit his teeth in frustration? or is it confusion? In his head he'd ask what miserable fate there is for him.

"I... What the fuck man! Is this your doing Tony. Not cool. Totally not cool." Dylan tried to ignore the screen and checked around the cabin. He'd go out of the cabin instead.

Dylan tried to open the door but as soon as he touched the door knob he went back to where he was standing earlier in front of the holographic screen. He can be sure that he touched the doorknob but now he can doubt Tony has anything to do with this. There's no way Tony could pull off a strange trick like that.

In his head, Dylan could feel the strong suggestion that he should just finish 'allocating' the points.

"Ugh... this is sick." He grunted as he look at the name Veronica on the screen one more time. While he doesn't want anything to do with Veronica or anyone named Veronica due to heart break, the rng deities seem to be eager to mess with him.

"Aright bitch, bring it on!" He yelled as he started clicking on the holographic screen.

Two points went to Veronica, one point went to Song of gloom and two points went to lucky star.

As soon as he finished clicking on the power screen, the surge of information rushed to head. He felt a strong slap on his face.

Dylan suddenly learned how to cast dark and luck magic. He also learned to summon the dark fairy, Veronica.

The boxes on the screen disappeared and then the words congratulations popped out. Congratulations for what he may ask. One thing he also learned was how to summon the Menu and how to close it. He only need to tap his chest twice to open or close it. There was a limitation though. He can only check it once a day.

The hologram screen disappeared.
