Invisible [Lookism Fanfic]

Introduction

From all of the different fanfictions I've ever real about isekai it was always about how the individual gets hit by a vehicle, the individual drowns even though they can swim, or the individual is summoned to the new word by magic or something along the lines of magic.

As for me?

I had an asthma attack and choked to death.

I had a rescue inhaler, sure. But I was such a broke dunce that I had forgotten to get a refill as soon as the damn thing was empty.

And now I'm cursing at myself for my stupidity and negligence of my own health.

There were only a few things I regret. I regret not cherishing those close to me who sacrificed a lot just so I could have what I needed. I regret not cutting off those toxic friends who only wanted me around so that I could pay for every outing. I regret not working nearly as hard as I should have and not giving it my all. I regret too many things to count because I had taken many of these luxuries for granted when I was still alive.

If I could, I wouldn't have taken advantage of my mom who cared about me and I would have worked harder to ensure that she had everything she ever wanted just like how she worked hard to make sure I had just about everything I ever wanted.

There was a faint warmth that surrounded my chest as the dark void around me brightened to reveal a character sheet. However it was not just any character sheet. A better inspection of the sheet, and I realized  that it was mine. But why?

For what reason do I have a character sheet? Am I getting another chance at life? If so, then why? I don't deserve it. I'm not a good person. A chance like this needs to be earned not given. So why me?

I waited a while to see if there would be an explanation or an answer for the sheet. If this was to be like the other stories then surely I would have a guide or someone to explain what was going on, right? I turned around to try and see if there would be anyone coming to talk to me, to explain how the character sheet is supposed to work.

I waited and waited, ignoring how the sheet was slowly starting to rotate itself around me to get directly in front of me so that I could fill it out. I continued to wait until the sheet started to pulse a bright white that began to hurt my eyes. I let out a puff of annoyance as I realized that I was on my own and that I would have to fucking figure it out myself.

Turning my attention to the character sheet, I noticed that I had 110 points to put into my stats and that my stats were set up like a 5th edition Dungeons and Dragons character sheet with a few extra features.

Curious, I touched the Dex stat and up popped arrow buttons. Between the arrows was the number 0. I pressed on the button to the right that caused the 0 to become a 10. Now understanding how this worked, I continued to hold down on the arrow until the 10 became an 18. Satisfied with myself I looked up at the points to see that I had 92 left to distribute how I pleased.

Thinking it over, and considering how much I am uncertain about where I would be going after this I immediately made both my Strength and Charisma stats 19. It might have been a little shallow of me to make my next self attractive, but I had no idea as to where I was going to turn up and it made more sense to be attractive just in case something were to happen to me if I were ugly. All of my remaining points were evenly divided into Constitution, Wisdom and Intelligence.

The end result of my work was:

Strength: 19
Dex: 18
Con: 18
Intelligence: 18
Wisdom: 18
Charisma: 19

I was pretty proud of myself as this was one of the better character sheets I've created, however the feeling didn't last long as I remembered that I would become this character.

Before I could fully panic, a pop up appeared on the sheet. Without reading any of the text, like a dunce, I opened the tab and out spilled a long list of words with lengthy descriptions. Many of which had intimidated me greatly. Only a few caught my eye like Low Presence, Gifted Talent, and Natural Adept. They all had unique descriptions and I was tempted to get all three, choosing Natural Adept and tapping on the open space next to it that had the long list of words spilling out again. Though I looked closer at the sheet and realized that these were character traits. The amount of character traits that I was limited to were 2 seeing as I had picked Natural Adept as my first trait.

It wasn't a big deal, from what I'm given to understand about the trait it allows me to do physical activity much easier than others whether it be acrobatics or fisticuffs. However, seeing as I skimmed over reading the description, I didn't entirely understand what it was supposed to do.

I tapped on Low Presence as my second trait, taking a second to look over what it does. Low Presence allows the character to wander around unnoticed until they have been acknowledged by another character with the same/higher Charisma stat or a Passive Perception of 17 or higher. Low Presence also allows the character advantage on Stealth and Investigation.

Without even thinking it over, I grabbed Low Presence as my second trait feeling pretty satisfied with my choices and ready to move on to the next part.

Until a pop up appeared in front of my face.

Low Presence allows for the character to possess an extra trait that is not normally given. Would you like to select another trait?

Yes.                                               No.     

Another trait?

That was allowed?

Without hesitation or even thinking about the possible consequences that could come from my decision, I swiftly added Gifted Talent without bothering to see what it does.

A decision that would probably haunt me later, but I didn't spare it another thought as the next pop up appeared. This time it was about fighting styles and a few were highlighted for me as recommendations in regards to my stats. Judo, Karate, Muay Thai, and Systema were all highlighted in a bright neon yellow with instructions. Pick 2.

Pick 2? Pick 2! What kind of monster am I creating with this character!?

Without really thinking it through, I quickly clicked on Judo and Systema to get it out of the way before I had time to regret my choices.

The next box to pop up was labelled Department and it automatically pulled the list up. There were so many to choose from: Fashion, Vocal and Dance, Physical Ed, Architecture and Interior Design, Beauty, Comics and Animation, Practical Music, Baking, and Computer Science.

This seemed vaguely familiar and it would have been nice if someone threw me a bone and told me what this all was for. But I was still all by myself and struggling to figure out what I want to do with this character.

Hopefully my choice doesn't hurt me in the future.
