It's been two months now and let me tell you it has been a hard three months. Unable to talk, unable to move, goodness its just a pain to breathe in and breathe out. And losing agency in my life certainly was quite the shock. But the biggest shock came to me as I watched the matron of the orphanage where I was delivered make coffee out of a suspiciously labeled coffee maker. What's so suspicious about coffee maker you ask? Well not much unless you discount the big f****** logo reading Wayne Enterprises. Surely this was a bad dream; I couldn't possibly have been born in the DC Universe, a world on the constant brink of annihilation.
As I became 3 years old the reality of the situation I was had dawned on me. I was probably going to die like a stupid mob character at the hands of a small-time villain by falling debris or any of the million other stupid ways that people die in superhero universes and unlike actual superheroes I was not going to be revived by some amulet and ancient to the Lazarus pit or even some speed force shenanigans. Just as I was about to give up hope out of the corner of my eye spotted a blip.
"Ohhoho is that a system I see?" I method jovially.
As I focused on the blip, a system screen came into view.

"Hmm... I have 44 lottery slots, let's open them and see what I get."
" System open all lottery slots."
I was bombarded with notifications as all the lottery slots were opened. In total I gain from them 8492 points as well as a beam tomahawk and armour labeled with an Alpha symbol on the shoulder pads, another set of armour that looked like a turtle shell, an ion pulse rifle.
Next I I looked at it the physical modification and abilities sections respectively and was met with another wave of information, in the form of pages upon pages of powers and abilities of various forms and levels.

" Looks like I'll have to go through the whole list and check for the optimal combination"
After hours of sifting through the entirety of the shop and determining the ten physical modification and abilities that I will need I decided to check on the specials and item shop.
The specials only had four options, namely, power slot, power evolution, the gift of power, and lastly life orb, each worth exactly 10,000 points. The first three options very easy to understand but the last one was odd and so I clicked on it and learnt that it was basically respawn button, albeit a single use one.
Finally opening item shop I saw two options: buy and sell.
I figured there was no need for me to have two armors and the turtle armor was obviously not made for the human form, what with the hunched back and three fingers and caved in stomach.Might as well sell it.Opening the sell option, I sold the turtle armor back to the system for 11500 points and then tried to sell a pencil from the orphanage but was rejected by the system.Looks like only system items can be sold back.
Checking back on the points I saw the total at 22408 points.
It was buy time .
First I bought the Demi God and Immortality at 7400 and 500 points each as well as the abilities teleportation master and fundamental forces manipulation at 2200 and 3800 points respectively. This put me at 8508 points. Now I just needed to hide it from the matron of the orphanage until I could legally leave.
Demigod - 7400 Points
Spawn of a god, you get the power to harness one of the ancient divine concepts and forces of your choosing and based on your disposition.
Immortality - 500 Points
You no longer age and regenerate the tissue mass lost with age. you are also immune to cancer. You can still be killed via fatal injuries, poison, etc.
Teleportation Master - 2200 Points
You have mastery over teleportation and can go anywhere on your current plane.
Fundamental Force Manipulation - 3800 Points
You can control the fundamental forces. From electromagnetics to nuclear bonds can be altered.
Checking the item shop I quickly found the solution, the interspatial castle.

Watching the castle appear out of subspace was a whole different experience altogether.
IT WAS GLORIUS !
Putting the stuff into the castle I unsummoned the castle and watched it disappear into the void between space.I was finally feeling optimistic about things. This was gonna be a good life. I will make sure of it.
"No one shall ever infringe on my freedoms again.Never will I be humiliated like this." I muttered as sleep took me.
