This is basically a mix of a jumpchain, and taking a profession, then making it broken. You don't get jumpchain abilities in this, only things you earn or get from your overpowered profession. You will have status screens, but since you are not The Gamer, you don't have gamer's body or gamer's mind. No loot, inventory, dungeons.
Even though you aren't The Gamer, you're grossly overpowered.
You have choices, each choice will determine your power and starting world, choose wisely.
The starting world you don't get any hints on.
[] The Musician (You get power from music, but not all power is good power)
[] The Armorer (You draw special equipment from other worlds, they can give you unmatched power, but power comes with a price)
[] The Merchant (What you own is power. Money is power.)

You are Harry James Potter, and you are The Merchant.
That's not boasting. You were shown a screen with stats and skills, and you seem to have lots of room for improvement.
Exchange EX
"It would have been equivalent exchange if not for the fact that the status screen enjoys ripping people off"
You are capable of exchanging items for personal improvement and cash for items. You are perfectly capable of purchasing things from other universes. Everything is super expensive. You will not get an item list.
Inventory E
"Would be super useful for all Gamers if loot auto-dropped in here, but nooooo."
You have an inventory. There is no limit for object size, but you can hold a maximum object weight of ten tons. Being the low rank inventory that it is, items you steal will dissapear from the inventory if you get sent to prison.
Haggling F
"No more shall you charge me 3 times the price for items, and buy them back for a third of the basic price!"
You are capable of selling things at base price. Congratulations, your haggling is better than that of a maxed out Dovahkiin. Feel proud.
You also appear to have skills.
The screens popped up after you had enough spare change to buy a sandwich, and bought that sandwich. Does everyone get a status screen after buying something?
No
Okay, that solves that. What should you do now?

Exchange

[x] Test out Exchange!
-[x] "Oookay... so I can exchange items for personal improvement, and right now I have half a sandwich. Can I exchange half a sandwich for better cooking skill? If so, I could probably farm XP by baking cookies or food, then either selling the cookies to other people for money or try exchanging them for improved cooking skill to make more valuable consumables."
A/N : An inventory tab will be created. Also, please put the speech in terms that Harry would know. He lives in a cupboard under the stairs, how would he know what XP is?
"Exchange, what would I get if I traded half of this sandwich?"
Many things could be exchanged for, most of which are completely useless, in general and to you. The most prominent are temporarily increasing your Vitality to F for 0.0001 seconds, and the system remembering you can cook and clean and giving you a skill for that.
"I think I'll take the skills."
Granted. You now have Cooking F, Housekeeping G, and Gardening G.
(You have three hours before you have to go home and cook dinner? What do?)

Lucky Bastard

[X] Try improving a stat! (3 hours)
-[X] Charisma
A/N : You might have gotten one of the 5 possible pluses to your Charisma if you put how you would increase Charisma.
You decide that, since Charisma seems to be something useful to merchants and street peddlers, and your profession is The Merchant, you should train Charisma, but how should you do it? You sit for two hours, pondering on how you should go about this. You get an idea, and find a nearby shard of glass and a secluded alleyway. You start to whisper to yourself in conversation. You check a clock after a bit and realize that you should probably go back to the house.
Talking to yourself for an hour has resulted in you getting half of a plus in Charisma!
Luck check! Requirement of C rank luck! No luck stat in status screen. Due to this, luck for this check will be EX. Luck stat added at F. Luck has increased to E for being a lucky bastard. Try being more stealthy next time.
As you return home, you pass a strange group of people wearing black suits and- are those guns!? You walk slightly faster than usual. If you failed that Luck check, they probably would have ganked you.
How do you know the term 'Gank', you've not heard it in your life!
Due to the omnipotent being in charge of the system being a lazy shit, you've gotten yet another skill!
Eldritch Knowledge (ROB ver.) EX
Eldritch beings from beyond your puny mortal comprehension have taken an interest in you, though minor, whenever these beings wish something of you, you will fully understand the content of the wish. (E.G : Can exchange for Saber Lily from Nasuverse despite not knowing what the Nasuverse is.)
You are fine with this and will not freak out in the slightest.
You shrug. Seems legit. You continue home, soon forgetting about the possible gang members or secret organization due to the boredom of chores. You finish the chores and go to sleep. Tomorrow is Saturday.
(You have a total of eight hours between chores. What do?)
(Choose which you want, mix and match, I don't care.)
