บท 4: Dimensional Group Chat Acquired
[Welcome member to the Dimensional Group Chat!]
I had been staring at the message on the phone for about five minutes now. I was flabbergasted. I mean not only am I alive again, and have telekinetic powers, but now I have a group chat. And anyone who's read fanfiction before knows, that group chats are busted.
Snapping out of my daze, I decided to figure out what was going to happen next. So, I press the screen.
[Congratulations member on your transmigration as well as being picked by the Dimensional Group Chat!]
'Wait does that mean the DGC was the reason for my transmigration into this body? How much power does this thing have?'
[Member is correct in his assumption. Member was chosen as a prospective member of the DGC in member's past life but unfortunately, member died the moment the DGC's message arrived on member's phone.]
'Whoa. That's a lot of members. Wait, it can read my mind? Guess I shouldn't be too surprised. Reading minds is probably lower on the spectrum of abilities when compared to transmigrating a soul.'
[As an oversight on DGC for letting member die, DGC decided to transmigrate member to a random body.]
'Huh, guess I'm luckier than I realized. Maybe I should buy a lottery ticket.'
[Due to this action by the DGC, member was not given the option to refuse the invitation.]
'Well, it's not like I would have anyways.'
[As the first member to join the DGC, member has been given a partial starting package. Would you like to open it now?]
'A starting package! Awesome! Wait, why is it partial?'
[Please open starting package if member wishes for an explanation.]
'Okay, I guess. Open starter package please!'
[You have received]
- Admin Privileges
- Character Token
- $100,000 USD
'Admin! Character Token? $100,000 USD! Holy shit, I really did win the lottery!'
[Congratulations on your rewards admin. The explanation for why it is a partial starting package is as follows. The first member's starting package included 5 DGC invitations that are sent out randomly.]
[Admin will not receive the invitations until after a mission is done. Once completed, the DGC will reward admin with 5 invitations, and more.]
'Interesting. But why do I have to do a mission first? Don't missions usually happen once all the members are invited?'
[Admin is correct but due to the unexpectedness of admin's transmigration, the DGC has decided to withhold the rewards behind a mission.]
'Well, that seems a little unfair. But, whatever. I'm alive and kicking so I'll accept it. What do admin privileges even do for me?'
[Admin privileges are as follows]
- 10% discount for Shop and World Travel
- Rudimentary control over DGC functions
- Slightly better luck for DGC luck-based activities
'Hey, that's pretty good. Shop, world travel, and luck-based activities which can only mean one thing, gacha.'
Gacha. Loot boxes. Spin the wheel. Plinko. Whatever form it comes in, it always brings with it one thing, suffering.
'Ugh, gacha. Can't remember the number of bad openings I had in League. Makes me want to cry just thinking about it. Hehe, seems this time around I'll be better off. Hopefully.'
I move on to the next reward, the character token.
'What's a character token?'
[Character Token]
- Gain the abilities and knowledge of a random character from the omniverse.
- Knowledge will not have any adverse side effects on the admin's state of mind.
- Admin will be allowed to reject certain abilities if they come with a detrimental side effect.
'Wait, this means I could become overpowered with one good pull! Imagine getting the token for The One Above All! I could rule over this reality with ease. Doubt it's that easy though. Oh well, might as well try my luck. Use character token!'
[Congratulations admin on receiving Character Token]
- Dr. Gregory House M.D.; a brilliant diagnostician with a genius-level intellect.
'Awesome! The medical version of Sherlock Holmes. I loved watching House in my past life. Always thought it would be cool to have the same skills as House in real life. Now I do. This means I'm already one of the greatest doctors in the world with a genius-level intellect capable of so much more.
The skills alone are enough for me to become the greatest doctor in the world, not to mention House's extensive knowledge bank on medicine and random stuff. Can I see a full list of what I'm getting?'
[Dr. Gregory House M.D. Character Token]
- Genius-Level Intelligence, Medicinal Knowledge, Religious Knowledge, Expansive Knowledge of Infectious Diseases, Genetics Knowledge, Exceptional Knowledge of Dark Matter, Deductive Reasoning, Master Manipulator, Human Lie Detector, Tactical Analysis, Master Investigator, Polyglotism, Expert Chef, Expert Pianist, High Pain Tolerance
'Holy hell did I hit it big. I didn't get a superhero or an anime character, but I definitely would prefer House as my first character token. Wait, does this mean the other members will get a character token also?'
[No, admin receives a character token due to admin privileges. Members of the group chat will receive a random skill/ability or item.]
'Another privilege of being admin, nice. First, let's look at the rest the DGC has to offer and then I'll accept the character token. It's also getting kind of late so I need to hurry up so I can get some sleep.'

'I guess mutate would be an apt term for my case. No bloodline though, was kind of hoping for the Azure Dragon bloodline. What do titles do? Do they give bonuses?'
[Titles]
- A title is given to a member when enough people know a member by a certain title
- Do not give bonuses, purely cosmetic
'Tch. Too bad, would've been a lot more fun to rack up title bonuses. Anyways, let's take a look at the shop real quick before I hit the hay.'
[Shop]
Daily Deals - 50% off!
- Potion of Minor Healing - 50 pts -> 40 pts (usually 100 pts, 50 for daily deal, 40 for admin, 10% is from the original price not once it's 50% off)
- Body Cleansing Pill - 80 pts
- Set of Chef Knives (Shokugeki no Soma) - 200 pts
'50% off on daily deals is a steal and on top of that the 10% from my admin privileges! Have to check that every day. Okay, let's see, a potion of minor healing is pretty self-explanatory. Looks like it can heal small wounds and bruises, as expected. A body cleansing pill from a Chinese cultivation novel cleanses impurities and tempers the human body, not bad. The chef knives from Shokugeki no Soma are the most expensive, guess they're not regular chef knives. Okay, let me see the Browse section of the shop.'
I clicked on the Browse tab at the top of the phone and it showed me a page with a search bar at the top followed by categories. The categories were Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, and Legendary which is very exciting to see. Clicking on each one and looking around for a bit let me get a feel for what each one had.
[Common] 1-500 pts
- Includes everyday items ranging from cheap facsimiles to luxurious goods from across the omniverse
- I.E. Ultra 4K TVs, Gaming rigs, antique tea sets, rare coffee beans, etc.
[Uncommon] 501-2,500 pts
- Includes items, talents and low-level abilities/skills
- I.E. Basic Knife Proficiency, Basic Computer Proficiency, {Sprint}, {Hacking}, etc.
[Rare] 2,501-10,000 pts
- Includes large assets, one-time use items, weapons, items, and better abilities/skills
- I.E. Large amount of stocks, Magic Talisman, Blink Talisman, Ebony and Ivory (DMC), etc.
[Epic] 10,001-100,000 pts
- Includes weapons, items, and better abilities/skills
- Dragon Slayer, Cultivation Manual, Kryptonian Escape Pod, Celestial Spirit Magic, etc.
[Legendary] 100,001+ pts
- Includes the highest tier of weapons, items, and abilities/skills
- Mjolnir, Infinity Gauntlet, Yamato (DMC), etc.
'Holy shit just the uncommon tier already is fucking amazing, but the legendary tier. That is something else. Power beyond anybody's wildest dream. Awesome. That's a lot of points though.'
Snapping out of my thoughts, I looked at the time and remembered I had something to do early tomorrow.
'Shit, I should go to sleep already.'
I put the phone down and laid my head on my pillow. As I fell asleep, I remembered about the mission.
'Ugh, whatever. I'll look at it tomorrow. Sleep here I come.'
What I didn't notice was the smile on my face as I fell asleep.

RubberPeen The fourth chapter is done, and it's a bit of an info dump. Also, this is what I meant when I said I'm going in a weird direction with my group chat. But I promise I won't take like 50 chapters to invite the other members. I look forward to people's reactions to the members. Like always give me your thoughts about the chapter.
Let me know what you think about the tier for the shop. I'm not the happiest with it, but I can fix it in the future if it ever bothers me too much.
