Deus leaned on the window of the bus with deep thoughts of what he would do if he had the fortune to be able to to reincarnate, or have a system in general. 'Life truly will remain dull.... ' Deus thought, but just then, his phone began ringing and vibrating.
Ring!* Ring!*
Retrieving his phone from within his pockets, he checked on who had just texted him, 'Who the hell is almighty? Did they get the wrong person? ' He was confused on how they had gotten his phone's information number, and continued on by reading what the person had texted him.
<Do you wish to play a game?>
His expectations miraculously dropped, and he rolled his eyes believing it was one of his so called 'friends' that wanted to prank them.
Deus was confident it was them that sent the text because they had been pranking him this entire year, but his slight curiosity to what their prank was gonna be had made him reply with a yes.
Few seconds later, Almighty sent a post to him of an rpg - like character customization screen.
'Interesting.' Deus was quite intrigued on what they were planning to do, so he pressed on the text and it brought him to the character sheet he had seen before.

He chose the usual name he used in games, but when he reached the class and stat section he didn't know what to pick.
'Maybe I should change things up a bit? ' Curious about playing with other classes, he had decided to go for the mysterious and magical merchant type character in some novels and games he had seen them in.
To make a character to suit his needs, he chose the magician for his main class, and the merchant as his sub-class. Thinking about where to distribute his stat points, he chose the one's he thought would suit his classes needs.

'All these perks and abilities..... the classes I chose aren't that bad. 'Deus pressed on continue, and it brought him to a screen filled with skills he could buy with his skill points. He bought crafting, blacksmithing, mana control, and sewing for his future plans, and l pressed finish. Another screen popped up, but this one had perks to buy instead of skills, and they were all the same in cost!
The first thing he bought with his points was the blessed growth, then unseen might, then ambidextrous, then mystical creation, and finally charismatic aura for the heck of it.

'I guess the skill and perk points were only meant to be used in buying starting perks, what a downer.. ' Deus wasn't that bothered by not being able to earn or use perk and skill points, but it did make him a little disappointed at not having the chance to be overpowered.
[Merchant: Shop Keeper]
[Merchant: Trafficker]
'The choice is obvious. ' He of course chose the shop keeper type merchant, but only because they were the more common ones to be seen as mysterious.
[Appearance: (Describe or Copy)]
Deus thought it over for a while, then after making his decision he typed in 'Ookurikara' as his appearance, and pressed copy. He watched as his naked avatar materialised beside the screen, and he was shocked that the game included the private part as well!
Ding!*
A notification blocked the screen, and it read: [Open Starter Pack?][Y/N]
'Of course! ' Deus pressed on yes, then notification of items popped up and covered the his phone's screen.
[Gained: Dishonored II Mask, Templar Clothing, Vamperix Duel Swords, Duel Hounding Knives, Blacksmith's Hammer, and 500 Magic Stones]
'I didn't expect this many items! I wonder what they all do? ' Deus clicked on the little question mark in the top right corner, and information spewed out.
[Mask Of The Dishonored: The mask was created to hide Corvo from recognition, and help him in his war against his empire.
(95% Unrecognisable)(Allows Zooming)]
[Templar Assasin's Clothing: This outfit belongs to the Colonial Rite of The Templar Order. (45% Increased Stealth)(50% Increased Speed)]
[Vamperix Duel Swords: Twin blades forged from black steel, and refined in vampiric essense. (Regenerative Durability)(Killing Heals Self)]
[Twin Hounding Knives: Twin throwing knives forged from hell hounds. (Seeking Knives)(Always Returns)]
[Blacksmith's Hammer: The hammer of the blacksmith god; Isar'van. (Increased Quality of Creations)(Changing Weight)]
[Magic Stonex500: Currency, and stones used for enchantment and creations]
'I feel more excited to try this game out now. ' Deus pressed on the start button, and waited for any changes in the screen.
...
....
.....
'Damn, they got my hopes up. ' He already knew that it was probably a prank, but he couldn't help but have gotten his hopes up to play.
'I won't fall for these pr- ' Blinding light erupted out from his phone, vertigo hit him like a train and he vanished from his world.
