As he looked in the mirror, he saw himself: a tall, skinny, malnourished body with clear scars of physical abuse all over it. His clothes were dirty and seemed old. When he raised his head a little, he saw his face. His eye colors were blood red, and he has a knife scar from his forehead to his cheek while passing from his eye but not enjuring it. His hair color is black. As he looked at his scars, he remembered his parents.
"How dare you bring shame to our family!? His father shouted while holding a metal bar and hitting him as hard as he could when he was around the age of 13. How dare you get a B on your math exam when your cousin received an A?" Not caring about the fact that Ezra is covered in blood and scars.
While his mother watched, enjoying it and looking at Ezra with a look of disgust, she said,
"I told you we should throw him away the moment he was born. Look at his eyes. He is a curse brought on us."
After remembering such moments, Ezra had a look of pure hate on his face. He looked around the room he woke up in; it was really small and dirty. It had a mattress lying in the corner and a desk next to it.
He checks the time with his old phone, and it turns out it is May 30, 2024, 08:34 p.m.
"I can't believe it is exactly 1 year before it all turns to shit. May 30, 2025: I will never forget that cursed day. They should be at work right now, and they won't be back in about 3 hours."
"It's time to start preparing since I don't have much time at my disposal. Since it's part of the plan, I might as well have some fun while doing it. But I have to check my benefits first. 'Status window' "

"If I use these points to my advantage, I have a high chance of getting something good now. Before I unlock the skills, I have to get those things first."
Ezra runs to his mother's room and opens the door to find a tidy and clean room that is 10 times the size of his room. He then runs to her drawers, which are filled with jewelry, and picks out a necklace with the symbol of a horseshoe on it.
"I can't believe it; this damn bitch is filthy rich while I'm her own son, and she's making me live like a fucking rat."
"found it"
horseshoe necklace (common grade): made by a skilled blacksmith who puts his all into making his items. It is said to give luck to its wearer. +2 luck
"And now it's time to open my Christmas presents."
After Ezra relays his words, a giant wheel appears in front of him, filled with the names of so many skills that the width of the slot is as thin as a strand of hair and written in an otherworldly language he is unable to read. Above, it says "five more remaining" as he admires the wheel, thinking of the unlimited possibilities he is able to get, unable to hold his excitement.
"spin"
And the moment he spoke the word, the wheel spun at a speed that Ezra was unable to follow with his eyes, and it started slowing down little by little until it stopped.
A system window came in front of Ezra, containing an announcement saying:
"Due to the high amount of luck the player has, the pull will only be for skills B-grade and above."
"Fast Regeneration (S): Rapidly heals wounds and injuries at an accelerated rate, allowing for quick recovery. Could be considered a curse and a blessing depending on the situation."
"yes! I can't believe it. an S-grade from the first spin. I knew it was the right choice to invest my points into luck. Alright, for the second skill,"spin.""
