Chapter 1:An Unbelievable Outcome
Gabriel is a college student living in the Philippines, he doesn't have any dreams and just lives a dull life, going to school, then going home, that is his routine, never wants to leave his comfort zone, and he enjoys watching T.V. series where the protagonists are special knowing that he is not, and his latest obsession now is Young Sheldon, a prequel to the big bang theory, another TV series he loved, he was at the last moment of the last episode where Sheldon starts reminiscing his childhood and his regrets on what he didn't do and that make him think.
'what if I try' he thought. He quickly disregards his thoughts knowing he doesn't have any talent and he is not special, just an ordinary person, while contemplating his thoughts an email pops up in his notification.
"Welcome to a Second Chance!" it said in the notification, he thought it was just spam of a website so he didn't bother with it the first time he saw it.
Another notification popup saying "Do you want a Second Chance, Gabriel?" he was shocked when he saw it, is this a prank?, or was it one of those times that he would be recruited in a government program for spies, he laughed at that thought considering he is not athletic or anything.
But he got curious and clicked the notification. It reveals a Survey that says
"Which world do you want to be reborn in?"
he just think the Young Sheldon series that he just watched and answered it.
What do you want your background to be?
He said as a twin brother of Georgie.
What kind of cheat do you want? a system or a template of a person,
Warning! If you choose the system, you would only get a random system, if you choose the template, you can select 1 fictional character but not get his powers or get 2 random templates.
He quickly contemplated his would-be answer, but realizing that it was just some silly survey he selected 2 random templates.
Then a Gacha Wheel popup where contained millions of characters in fiction and real life.
Shinichi Kudo
Sheldon Cooper
Walter o Brien
Tony Stark
Reed Richards
Peter Parker
Bruce Wayne
and other fictional and real-world characters from different TV and movies
He started the wheel and waited for a moment, After it rolled, it says
"Congratulations!!!, you got Mycroft Holmes from the BBC Sherlock Holmes version.
The list of abilities includes;
1. Superior Intelligence:
Sherlock himself admits: "Mycroft is the smart one. I'm the smart one. Mycroft is the smarter one."
He can process huge amounts of information instantly, predicting events and manipulating global politics effortlessly.
2. Government-Level Influence:
In BBC Sherlock, Mycroft is not just intelligent—he is the British government in all but name.
He has access to top-secret intelligence, wields immense political power, and ensures national security with a single phone call.
3. Effortless Deduction:
Unlike Sherlock, Mycroft doesn't even need to visit crime scenes—he solves cases from his armchair.
He casually deduces things even Sherlock struggles with, often solving problems before they even arise.
4. Understated Power:
Unlike most versions of Mycroft, BBC Mycroft is physically capable and even holds his own in fights.
He is also among the few people who can intellectually manipulate Sherlock, controlling him like a chess piece."
After receiving the 1st template and its abilities, the wheel re-spins to get its 2nd template, this time it's much longer than the first and after maybe 2 minutes of spinning, the wheel says;
"Congratulations, you receive Leonardo da Vinci's template from the real life,
