My name is Jackson valentine I'm 20 years old and I work as a chef in a pretty average restaurant. My family was never very well off, and it's all because of my father. He has a really bad gambling habit that causes us nothing but trouble, thanks to this he's gotten us in debts upon debts. When I became fifteen that's when I then got a job. Cooking was one of my favorite things, and I saved lots of money for myself. I still had to give my parents money, however. My mother says it's so father can pay the debts, honestly, I love her but she's too trusting of my father he's always let her down but she always loves him.
I did save money for myself and after three years at my job I bought my first game console and there was a VRMMO RPG that came with it called "Black Star Fantasy." The game took place in a world where you could have a multitude of races, even monster races. There was one race in particular that everyone including me absolutely despised, Abysmalls. The race had black hair and either red and blackish purple eyes. Though, it could be changed as you could also customize your character. the Abysmian was a race where the monsters you ate gave you skills randomly from its move pool, however, these skills are far weaker than even the level one skills and could only have better stats when the food is cooked better, but since the cooking stat was hard to level, and nobody really used it anyway, it was practically useless. The only advantage being they could learn infinite skills and there was no level cap for said skills, but they were also hard to level up.
Another problem with this race is that their starting stats are all in the single digits, between 2-4 apart from intelligence which was on average about 12-15. The devs thought since they could use a lot of skills this was a good balancing mechanic but it just made the character impossible to play as. One more huge issue is that the starting spot is actually surrounded by a forest with level 15 monsters and above which makes things loads harder and makes the race overall useless.
Two years later, men came into our home and demanded the money my father needed to pay for. But, since he gambled so much, we were all killed then and there. My world faded to black as I felt nothing but hatred for my father and sadness for my mother, and most of all. A will to not let my story end this way, I wanted to live again and start from the weakest point and then become the strongest to laugh in everyone's face! Then I saw light, shortly after I was facing a wooden ceiling in the arms of a man whom I've never seen before.
"you did it honey!" Said the strange man with tears in his eyes. "would you like to see our child?" He asked. "yes Arthur." Replied a woman's voice she sounded tired and her voice seems hoarse. 'Wait, did I just get reborn?!' I asked myself, it was all so strange to me. I was then moved after having my umbilical cord taken care of and wrapped up into a blanket into a woman's arms, 'She's quite beautiful, jet black hair, red eyes- wait... doesn't that feel familiar?' I then turned my head to Arthur, he had jet black hair but with purple-black eyes. 'This is some kind of joke right?' I thought to myself, I couldn't have been reborn as an Abysmal, right?
"She's so beautiful," said the woman. 'she? So I've been reborn as a girl in this life,' "We need to make sure she's safe Elizabeth, our race isn't capable of leaving town and fighting. So let's make sure she grows up careful of the elements." The instant he said that I just knew I was reborn as an Abysmall. 'I don't know what joke this is god but I'm not laughing! I'm basically doomed in this body, unless I find some way to get stronger I'll just die again. if that's the case I'll just get stronger!' I said determinedly. "welcome to the world Jane Wellington," My mother said with a smile. 'Jane, that's the name everyone will know as the strongest warrior to ever live!' Despite the odds of this second chance at life going to waste. I refuse to go down without a fight!
