Chapter 3: ego

After finally getting an understanding of my new status quo, I felt it was time for some action. Unfortunately, that had to wait, as there were many unsure elements regarding my situation. The most important ones were whose house I was in, if and how much money I had, and generally, what my presence was in this new world. Before doing any of that, however, I had to inspect my body. Ever since my awakening, my body had been feeling different, as if it wasn't how it used to be.

After entering the bathroom, conveniently right next to the room I was in previously. I then looked at the relatively large mirror before gasping very audibly. The face staring back at me had changed so much it was unreal. For starters, I had grown taller, my shoulders were broader, and my muscles were more defined than they had ever been. But the most significant changes were definitely in my face. It did not look different enough to make me unrecognizable, but every feature on my face has been made better to a certain extent. My skin was still a healthy brown, but while my previous skin was not bad, it has become nothing short of perfect. The shape of my face had also lengthened, my jawline became more defined, and my previously large nose was still pretty big but became more fitting to my face. My eyes, from a regular hazel brown, became a shining gold akin to a desert. And last but not least, my previously curly hair straightened out considerably, taking a shape that enhanced my face, and somehow stayed in that shape regardless of the elements.

As I stared at my beautiful self for a good ten minutes, I felt deep pity for all the men on this planet. I also thought about how I resembled another iconic Fate character, Ozymandias. The reason for that was probably due to my African descent, and considering the original Gilgamesh was middle-eastern, this form was quite fitting.

Having stroked my ego for long enough, I decided to take a shower. After finishing, I decided to eat something, as my stomach had been rumbling for some time now. After satiating my hunger, I would decide what to do next. Having a plan, I set out to scour the kitchen, hoping to find at least something.

Having arrived at the kitchen, I was pleasantly surprised. For a small apartment such as this, the kitchen well built. All the appliances seemed new and of high quality. The fridge even had a screen on the door, something I didn't see myself using but was a welcome addition nonetheless. More importantly, though, there was a note stuck to the fridge. Ever so curious, I immediately grabbed it and started to read.

"Dear Adam,

Congratulations on your arrival to this new world! I know it was a little abrupt, maybe forceful, even, it is what it is. You probably don't have a clue what you should do, though. Well, in short, do whatever! Everything in this house is yours, including the house itself. You also have a bank account with basically unlimited funds, though do try to keep the spending in check. You don't want to destabilize the economy and end up in federal prison or executed. As for location, you are currently in Musutafu, Japan. Fun fact, you live in the same apartment complex as our favorite cuckold/protagonist Midoriya Izuku. Everyone else thinks you've recently moved in, and nobody has seen you in person yet. Go and say hello! Anyways, I'm sure the riches and powers are enough payback for shooting you in the head (sorry for that, by the way). Well, take care!

-Luthor.

p.s. By the way, the fridge is empty, so you should probably do some shopping. :)"

After finishing the letter, taking in all the information, I came to a simple realization.

"This fucker gave me unlimited money but couldn't fill my fridge?"

I sighed deeply. "Guess I'm going shopping."

And so I did. I put on some clothes I found conveniently in the bedroom, a white and gold tracksuit, some fresh underwear, and a brand new pair of J@rdans. There was also a bottle of perfume, but it smelled like something a grandma would wear, and since I still smelled like soap, I opted to buy a brand new bottle with my newly acquired funds instead.

And so, donning a fresh outfit, a new appearance, and armed with an endless collection of magic weaponry capable of destroying a planet, I set out to do some shopping.

Roaming around the city of Musutafu was a peculiar experience. The place itself was ordinary at best, nothing more than a large cluster of buildings, most of them large with a few huge ones sprinkled amongst them. Places like this were nothing if not abundant back in my world. What made the experience so unique was the populace. People of, quite literally, all shapes and sizes roamed the city without a care in the world. Some people were huge, others were tiny, some had animalistic features, and others just straight-up floated around as if it was the most normal thing in the world. It was a sight I had seen plenty of times in my previous world, but that was mere fiction. To walk within such a crowd truly made you appreciate the wonders of the world.

After taking in the wonders of the quirk civilization, I started to do some actual shopping. Along the way, I pondered over how the economy functioned the same as in my previous world. During my trip, I noticed some of the characters that would appear in canon roam around. It brought me joy, seeing them live their lives normally, unknowing of how I'm going t flip it all upside down. Thanks to that thought, I walked the rest of the way with a goofy grin on my face, which got me a few weird looks.

After arriving, filling my fridge, pantry, and closet, and having a hearty meal, I did the only thing left to do: I turned on my newly bought computer and applied at U.A. high school.

A/N a lil' slice of life action here, mixed with some good ol narcissism and wish fulfilment, because I can. who should we make our waifu/waifus?
