Random guy with Random powers

*DrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnggggCLONG*

"Shut up you diabolical device from hell" my voice resound in my apartment.

"*yawn* the sun just set up, another good journey is up~" I sing as I'm getting out of my bed.

Hello everyone, you probably don't know me and I don't know you either so here's who I am: Jack Stanford, the one and only. 23 years, single, live in New York, US, Like cats and video games, Student in engineering and that's pretty much everything.
There's not much too say about me aside from that, I'm just a normal man who live his life, nothing never happens to me and even if this is quite boring, I know it's suicide to tempt the Universe on that. Also, I made a break on my studies for a week to take a little rest, play with my friends and all that sort of things. I'm not poor nor rich but I've got what I need so I don't stress myself, It's not like I'm going to be suddenly robbed or something.

Anyway, after taking a shower and peacefully eating my breakfast, which is just some cereals and water (I'm not a big eater), I sit on my desk and turn on my computer to see the last news of the infinite chaos and mayhem that is the internet.

"So...No new interesting video from YouTube...some cool fanfiction...*sigh* well nothing really interesting, let's just continue playing Orc must die 2, It's quite good".

I don't consider myself a nerd but video games are surely the best invention of mankind, I never found anything more entertaining that playing some video games, especially with my bros (my friend but we called ourselves bros after playing Broforce together).
Well there isn't something else more interesting and you now what we say, time flies when you have fun, well this is quite accurate because at the moment I decided I was finally too much bored of playing the same game to continue it was already 11 AM, so I decided to turn off my computer and go walking outside. That could be strange to say that but it make me feel good to walk for some time, to stop thinking about anything and just walk. Maybe I will see something interesting, I don't know.

As I walk in the city, I decided to simply let my my eyes stare at nothing and everything. But there's not much interesting things outside neither, in fact I just realized how my life is boring, how this whole world is boring. I mean there's plenty of interesting thing to do like, say...umm...I don't know in fact, I don't like sports, my friends are all occupied and I don't know what I could play on my computer. So yeah I'm bored and walking is just a manner for me to find something interesting but no chance yet.
Maybe I will travel to another country, see the world and...Ah who am I kidding I don't give a fuck about the rest of the world because I'm already good in my country and I hope it will remain calm. Pfffff even tough I don't want to tempt the Universe there's some moments I really want something to happens.

"*sigh* nothing nothing aaaaannd nothing surprisingly." Yeah I'm quite sarcastic sometimes. Anyone would be at this point.

As I walk toward a small park I spot some sort of...lottery?

"And now what is that?" I question to myself.

I quietly walk toward it and after some approach I find that's indeed a lottery. Which I'm quite surprise of because usually there's absolutely nothing here. In fact there is no one here except for me which is also surprising because there's always some rubes around things like that, but to tempt chance is worst that the Universe.

"Hello mister, would you buy a ticket? It's 20 cents each." the vendor asked me.

"yeah sure why not, Anything to make my life more interesting." I say as I give the money without paying attention.

She chuckle a little "I know the feeling. But don't worry, if you win you're life will get much more interesting" she respond.

I shrugged and decided to head back to my home, I don't really want to continue walking and I'm a little curious to see what I can win...if I win of course, like I say tempting chance is worst that tempting the Universe.

As I enter my apartment I decide to eat first so I put down my stuff and go cooking. Steak and potato, simple but effective.
After eating and placing the dishes, I put out my ticket and read the description.

"scratch the area to see if you win! An incredible travel to the border of imagination for the winner!" I read.

'well here goes nothing' I think before scratching the area.

"*sigh* like I tough it's a...WIN?!" I shout as I see the "win" scribe on the area after scratching it.

"Wow...I mean, YEAH I WIN! But what does I win exactly?" I say to no one particular as I read again the description.

And just to answer my question, I suddenly feel really heavy and begin to fall down.

"what...is...happening?" I say before blacking out completely.

"hey you're with me?" I hear from next to me.

'What happens? Who's with me?' I tough as I slowly regain consciousness.

"Who...who's there?" I ask with difficulty.

"Ah you're awake, good now get up, I need to talk to you" the voice, which seems feminine, ask me.

Without a real choice I decide to do that and get up. After clearing my eyes I can finally see who is talking to me, a pale lady with dark hair, wearing a purple robe but what really stands on her is HER EYES, red with a yellow sclera. Now that's something you don't see all the time.

"Wu-What happens to your eyes?" I ask quite frightened.

She rolls the said eyes before responding "It's my natural look dummy but I'm not here to talk about me, I'm here for you." She respond.

I blink as I don't really understand. Then I suddenly notice I'm not in my apartment anymore but inside a big empty theater of some sort, behind the scene.

"Where am I" I ask.

"I will get to it but first let's make the presentation okay? You're Jack Stanford right?"

"Ye-Yeah but how-"

"I'm Eris, Goddess of Chaos, nice to meet you."

My brain stop completely when I hear that. She was...Eris...the Goddess of Chaos...?

"WHAT?!" I shout in confusion.

"Yeah I know it's incredible and you think it's all a dream and you're in the hospital after having some sort of sudden coma or something but listen: this is real, you're not dreaming, dead or anything." she say.

I pinch the ridge of my nose to help me think of something to say or do but the only thing it does is giving me a headache. The worst is that I'm actually believing her because it's too much realistic to be a dream. So I tempt not only chance but also the Universe?! I'm fucked.

"Okay now listen" she say "I bring you here because you win the lottery, that means you are now my champion for a game I invented, If you don't want to have anything to do with that, you have the right to refuse and go on with you're life, it's your choice"

Really now? I can choose? Well I think it's time for a little brainstorming: so a goddess of chaos just choose me as her champion for a game she created, considering the implication it will be certainly be something big but if I don't want to tempt the Universe even more I can refuse and just return to my life. My boring...lame...life...

"You knew that I would something like that to happen huh?" I say blankly.

"Haven't heard what I said earlier? I know the feeling." She respond.

"Wait you were the vendor?!"

"Of course. How would I choose correctly my champion if I can't see him." She say with a smile.

"Okay okay I accept the offer so what's the game?" I ask.

"Well follow me."

She lead me to the scene where I see a big strange machine which look like a giant penny machine, with five gray buttons on it and a lever on the left. There is also five key bellow each buttons.

"Now listen, the game is simple: this giant machine will give you random superpowers, you can have a maximum of five of them, if you choose to have less you will have more chance to get more powerful abilities. After you've got your powers I will send you to another universe where you will do pretty much everything you want. That's all." She explain to me.

"Hu hu" I respond, not sure where this is going.

I sigh before advancing toward the machine. Guessing the keys serves to choose the number of powers I decide to turn 3 of them because 5 powers won't be very useful. After turning the key a green light appear on the corresponding buttons and the sign begin too roll at a very high pace, preventing me from seeing anything on it.

"well let's go" I say to myself.

I quickly press all the buttons and immediately their corresponding sign stops, showing the result.

-Metal mimicry.

-Auto-reflex.

-Gamma radiation manipulation.

"Here you go" Eris say happily "Not bad, not bad at all, now push the lever."

I do as she say, pushing the lever, then a strange mechanical noise comes from the machine. It suddenly stop and a drawer open on front of me, inside was a lonely golden gel capsule. I rise an eyebrow and take it.

"I need to swallow that?" I ask.

"Yep, go on!" she respond.

'OK, Here I go.' I tough before swallowing the capsule.

The second I feel it entering my stomach, I immediately start to pass out...again. Seriously why it have to be like that? *Sigh* I knew I shouldn't have tempted the Universe.
