On the corner of a mud-covered city street stands a cloaked figure with a wooden box tucked beneath their arms. The sound of them tapping their feet drowned out by the rain hitting the locomotives as they passed.
The heavy storm is perfect for deep thought, and think the figure does. So deeply in fact that when a group of ragtag children begin forcing their way by, one bumps into the unaware man knocking his hood off his face.
What is revealed are two sagging bags rested beneath eyes resembling those of a dead fish. The child's eyes widen in terror as the pale man's lips stretch into a thin line. "Beware the path you tread, for it leads to a place of misery." The man hisses before the kid bolts off.
Taking this as a sign, the man leans down and sets his box on the dirty cobbled path. Taking a stand upon the box, he yells for all to hear with surprising volume. "I wish to see what's written rewritten anew. I crave for all who's beloved to struggle to claw the stars. I long to see them receive gifts from the All Above while in the pits of the Below!" A suited fellow separates from the moving crowd for just a moment to yell, "Shut it, old man!" The ghostly man takes a pause, noting the request.
Then, as if a puppet whose strings have been cut, he collapses into nothing, leaving the few who cared enough to notice bewildered.
I've recently read Steven Universe Broken Peridot, and I need more. Don't get me wrong, I'm open to other suggestions for other fandoms. I prefer when there is some sort of system, or gacha. I like the building of strength in these. So, if you have a fic that matches any one of these key parts (those being, Steven Universe, fanfiction, strength gathering, system, or gacha.), Please recommend, and don't just limit reads from this site.
