I suddenly became curious and looked
around.
Groups of people were scattered throughout
the white space, but the number of people seemed to be decreasing from the
beginning.
As I slowly looked around, the entire
group next to me seemed to be enveloped in light and disappeared in an instant.
In the distance, there were also people
who were enveloped in a faint light and disappeared.
It seems that they have been reincarnated.
After a lot of
brainstorming, contemplating, and rethinking, I finished my point distribution,
which was similar to the time when I finished solving a test quickly, finished
reviewing, and could not even go out of the classroom even though I had nothing
to do.
It is like that
feeling of being released from the shackles of tension and brainstorming after
a long day of work, and then all of a sudden the tension is gone and I am in a
state of tranquility.
Relaxed and comfortable,
I was able to take my time and look at my surroundings.
Watching the
other people in the group reincarnating in a pale light that could be described
as mystical, I just thought it was beautiful. Such a phenomenon could not
happen in reality. I thought to myself, “This can’t happen in real
life,” and then I realized once again how unrealistic this situation was
and thought it was strange that I had adapted to it.
“Are you all ready?” (Masa)
Masa-san asked
while looking at everyone’s face.
Everyone seems
to have finished spending their points, and everyone nods.
I also silently
nod and return.
“It seems to be okay. Okay, then, we are
going to reincarnate now. Select [Reincarnation] from the window. Next, select [Tranquista
Castle] as your [Reincarnation Destination].” (Masa)
Everyone starts
to operate the window all at once with Masa-san’s words.
I also tap [Reincarnation]
and go to [Tranquista Castle] from the item [Reincarnation Destination] that
appears.
No, wait a
minute.
Something is
wrong.
An unfamiliar
and fierce sense of discomfort runs through my body from my brain to my toes.
What? What
is going on?
What did Masa-san
say now?
-Select [Tranquista Castle] as the [Reincarnation
Destination].
Why did he decide
the [Reincarnation Destination] in no time after tapping [Reincarnation]? It
is as if it had been decided from the beginning…
Certainly,
Masa-san told Tanupon, “For now, it is best not to touch
the word [Reincarnation] until the very last second. I do not think it is
designed to be user-friendly, judging from that guy’s attitude. It is possible
that the moment you touch it, you’ll be reincarnated with or without asking.” Even so, should we be touching [Reincarnation]?
Something clicks
in my head.
No, it could be
that he was prepared to take the risk of checking it out after the character-making
process was over. Masa-san is the type of person who does his homework and
tries to move smoothly, so it should not be that strange.
No, no, no. Wait
a minute. That is more important. Now that I think about it, why did Masa-san
say those things?
Why did he say
that at that moment?
―― why do not we
work together as we did with ListAge?
It is okay to say, “Let’s do it
together.” However, why did he think we could do it together in an instant? There
was no explanation on the window screen to indicate that we could reincarnate together
with someone.
Probably because
he found someone, he knew. Therefore, he just said it. He may have inferred
that it was possible from the fact that that “person” had placed the people he
was related to in close proximity and led them to notice it.
This is also too
conclusive.
However, my
suspicion did not disappear, and something clicked in my mind and became a
single strand of thought, connecting the dots of my doubt.
―― the usually
cautious Masa-san is proceeding on the assumption that he will be reincarnated
in this strange situation. Is that not strange? Normally, he would be more
suspicious or think of other possibilities, wouldn’t he?
I remember
Kanon’s words.
Certainly, Masa-san
was different from usual. When I think about it, Masa-san was strange from
the very beginning of our stay here.
Nevertheless, I
decided not to care about it… I feel something unpleasant.
In addition,
something clicks in my head.
…… No, wait.
I am not sure what [Reincarnation] means in the first place. I have heard of
it. Does not it mean to be born again? If so, would we not start as babies? Yet, we all set our [Reincarnation
Destination] to [Tranquista Castle]? Does it say that pregnant women such
as elves and half angels and others are conveniently inside [Tranquista Castle]?
I looked for an
appropriate town in the [Reincarnation Destination] section, making sure that
the reincarnation did not start immediately after I selected it, and then
selected [Tranquista Castle].
[Tranquista Castle]
A castle in Tranquista, the capital of the Azzar Empire.
I do not know,
but I have a feeling that something is wrong.
Something inside
me is ringing warning bells.
If I think about
it carefully, I should not be able to set [Age] in [Avatar].
I can choose my age
even though I am to reincarnate. I become more and more doubtful.
Something cracks
in my head.
…… There are
many strange things. However, the strangest thing among them is “Why didn’t
I notice so many strange things”?
Once pointed out
by Kanon, I noticed something strange. However, I felt “unpleasant”
and stopped thinking about it.
It was not Masa
who was strange.
What is wrong is
not Masa-san, but “everyone” in this room.
All of us are
somehow being guided to go in some “predetermined direction” to prevent our
consciousness from going in an “unnecessary direction”.
I have seen a
few other groups reincarnate, but they did so together as a group as if it were
a matter of course. Normally, there should be at least one person who would
want to go their separate ways, but as far as I saw, I do not think there was
anyone like that.
I remember the
man’s words, “If you have a mission, do your mission.“
Is that man
guiding us to make us fulfill some “mission”? If so, the
character making that I thought I had decided on my own initiative might have
been influenced by some kind of guidance.
To begin with, I
thought everyone here was a member of the Nine of Dawn who I played with in the
MMORPG ListAge, but we have never met in real life. We do not know each other’s
faces, and we do not know each other’s backgrounds in detail.
I wondered if
everyone here was really the same people I had played with at ListAge. Is it possible that they are all
just strangers with similar voices?
With that in
mind, everyone here seemed to be mysterious.
◆◆◆
When I think
about it now, everything I have set up in this window seems strange.
Why did I choose
[Quarter Angel]?
When I think
about it again, I realize that the charm of the Quarter Angel that I felt so
much at the time is fading away.
There is no
doubt that I wanted to raise my overall status and make my magic-related skills
stronger, and that has not changed. However, I had other requirements. Other
races seemed to meet the requirements with fewer points exist. There were the [Silver
Fox Beastman] and the [Dhampir]. However, when I saw them, I thought,
“There’s something off about them,” and eliminated them from the list
before I could even think about it.
In the first
place, I had to make do with the few points I had and to spend 50 points to
gamble on a [Race] that I didn’t know exactly what the benefits would be, I
must have been crazy.
I can hear my
heartbeat loudly.
Blood circulates
throughout the body, my heart beats faster, and my whole body gets hot, but
only the inside of the head is strangely clear, and I can see for myself that I
am concentrating.
…… There
must be something else. Something I need to be aware of, now.
I go back to the
abilities page and reconfirm the acquired abilities.
Check quickly
and carefully from the beginning–
“-Ah … it was.”
I instinctively
speak out.
[Heavenly Luck III]
Good luck. A fate bestowed by the heavens.
This is … this
is too much. I am not sure if I am supposed to be happy about the fact that
this is the first time I have seen this kind of thing. This is exactly what the
man said.
This seems to
represent the very “mission” that the man was saying.
But why did I
not notice “this”?
…… No, I
noticed. I remember seeing the [Heavenly Luck] ability when deciding on an
ability. I noticed it but “I was not thinking”. I was
watching but I was not trying to see it.
The only way to
explain it is to say, “I was doing it subconsciously.”
However, what
happens if I notice this? It does not make sense if I cannot deselect it…
“Eh … I can unlock it?”
In the ability explanation column of [Heavenly
Luck]. I can see the word [Release] near the edge.
It should not
have been there a while ago. …… No, it may have been there. I could
not believe my feelings and memories anymore, and I did not understand everything
perfectly.
I hurry up and
tap [Release] to deselect [Heavenly Luck].
Then SP changed
from “0” to fifteen.
“Eh… The SP returned…”
I turned my gaze
to the side and glanced at the time display.
Now I realized
the possibility that I could have deselected the abilities I had from the
beginning and increased the points. It should have been noticed much
earlier, but this can only be explained as “I was doing it subconsciously “.
…… However, it
is already near the time limit. Only a few minutes left. It is
impossible to rearrange the abilities from now on.
When I returned
my eyes to the [Ability] section again, I saw the word [Luck] above [Heavenly
Luck].
[Luck 5]
Good luck.
Did I have such
an ability? I did not notice it at all. If I find something that
looks interesting like this, I should check it out, but I do not remember.
I almost sighed,
but I swallowed it, hurriedly tapped [Luck], got three stages, and consumed 15
points.
Perhaps I can
find other abilities but I did not notice until now, but I do not have time and
I have only this.
…… What else
can I do—?
“Bishop. What is wrong with you? We do
not have time. We will be reincarnated.” (Masa)
“Masa-san …”
“What happened?” (Masa)
Masa-san asked
with a puzzled look on his face.
“I can’t go with you guys to…”
Everyone was
surprised at my words.
“I’d like to explain it, but I do not
have any proof that I can convince everyone, and I do not have time to explain
it anymore. I do not know if it is right for me not to go with you, but I want
to trust my instincts.”
“Hey! Wait a minute” (Masa)
Masa-san reaches
out, but I did not stop and tapped [Reincarnation].
“I am really sorry, everyone. I will be
back some…”
Before I finish
saying it, my body is wrapped in light. Then my consciousness went dark.
“I have confirmed a new [Reincarnation]”
“Reincarnating the subject”
“Confirming [Race] of the target
person. Selecting a donor … Selecting a donor … Selecting a donor”
“confirmed. ?? △? ■? Reconstruct the mind and body of the reincarnated
person by receiving more factors
“Gives reincarnated person racial
bonus”
“Gives the reincarnated person the
selected [Ability]”
“Grants the reincarnate a skill.”
“Confirmed escape from mental corruption. Special
bonus rewarded.”
“Building [Items].”
“The [Reincarnation Destination]
specified has been located.”
“Transfer reincarnated person to the
southern village of the Kingdom of Karim.”
“Item to be transferred to the southern
village, Kingdom of Karim.”
“All operations are complete. Have a
nice trip.”
