  On a bedside table an alarm clock was going off until I hand hit the button on top of it. A week has passed by since the incident at the store and unfortunately Malorn found himself jobless.

  Groaning he pulls himself out of bed into a sitting position before with another groan getting up out of bed.

  Yawn "Fuck me, did I really have to say that out loud why couldn't I just keep it inside like every other damn time." Malorn still cringing from the fact that he managed to get himself fired by speaking his mind to his bitch of a boss. On top of that he was struck by lightning.

  *Ringing* *Ringing*

  Hearing the phone ring he quickly picks it up and it answers, "Hello, this is Malorn speaking."

  From the other side of the phone comes a sad message, "Hello this is a complimentary message to tell you that your job application to Flomart has been rejected please try again in 3 months."

  *Click*

  Look at the phone in his hand, Malorn is slightly depressed.

  *Inhale* *Exhale*

  After a deep breath he walked over to the chair he usually uses to sit in to watch TV or play games and sat down.

  Picking up the remote he tried turning on the TV only for things to not work.

  The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.

  *Click* *click click click*

  "Fuck me ever since that stupid lightning strike technology just has not worked for me I mean I'm now forced to using a freaking old corded phone."

  Now slightly even more depressed he looks at the side table to see a couple single dollar paper bills. But upon picking one of them up intending to put them in his wallet suddenly something happens.

  A small glowing blue screen with white writing pops up in front of him.

  [Would you like to exchange $1 for 1 AP(Ability Point)]

  Pausing, Malorn moved his head from side to side and the screen followed. Turning in the direction of the TV he looked at the reflection using just his eyes and saw a floating blue screen in front of him.

  "Oh hell no, I am not about to be some stupid protagonist that some random dipshit is writing about."

  But unfortunately for him the screen stayed. 'Please don't let me be going crazy,' Malorn hoped to himself. And then he said, "yes." As soon as he said yes, the dollar he was holding disappeared. And in its place an entire bigger screen opened up showing that he was lucky beyond any nerd's dreams.

  <[ Name: Malorn]>

  <[AP: 1]>

  <[Skills:]>

  <[Spin the wheel for one AP for different abilities]>

  —----------------------------------------------------------

  "Let's spin this damn wheel then."

  [Spinning…Congratulations! You have obtained skill: adamantium bones from the game NukeOut 4]

  Immediately there was an itching deep inside all over his body. As if being bitten by a million mosquitoes. After about a period of around 30 minutes the itching feeling finally stopped.

  [Adamantium bones: your bones are nearly unbreakable]

  "Well that's cool and all but how exactly is this going to help me gain more money?"

  Turning to look beside him, he found that there was still $2 in single bills left. Quickly he reached out to them and converted them into points.

  [Ap: 2]

  [Spin?]

  "Spin once"

  [Spinning…Congratulations! Obtained Fire Weakness! Gained from an elder books game]

  [Fire Weakness: you take 50% more damage from burns and fire]

  Staring at the screen in front of him he looked at it dumbfounded has his skin slightly chilled and felt in innate fear of fire that he never felt before.

  "What in the literal hell did I just obtain? Why!? Why this of all things!? Was I not punished enough!"

  [One spin remaining]

  "Fine spin the damn thing already."

  [Spinning…Congratulations! Obtained: bounty hunter's collection from Talisman]

  [Bounty collection ability rewards one gold if you win a fight…adapting to real world…rewards $1 if you win in a fight]

  Malorn sat there for a moment in shock as he realized what he got himself was a free money making ability. That was until he realized something.

  "If I win in a fight? I'm not a fighter so how the hell am I going to put this to any good use? If I fight anybody I sure as hell I'm going to want more than a dollar."

  Suddenly

  Knock knock knock

  Open the fuck up your rent is due!
