[Status open]. When I said that in my mind, a translucent bluish-white hologram window appeared in front of my eyes.

Game-like status are shown in the window? The status screen was projected just as I wanted to comment on that.

Name: Undefined Age: 15 Job: Undefined LV: 1 (Body level) HP: 200 (Vitality) MP: 50 (Magic amount) STR: 20 (Physical Strength) INT: 20 (Intelligence, Comprehension) VIT: 20 (Endurance) MGI: 20 (Magical power) DEX: 20 (Dexterity) RMG: 20 (Magical Resistance) AGI: 20 (Agility) SP: 100 (Skill, Status point) 【Skills】   None 【t.i.tles】 「Altered Destiny」 (All status +10)

[Almost as if it’s a game. Haha … ]

The man laughed helplessly.



Why am I in a situation that seems like it was written in a novel’s prologue? The man stared at his status in a daze as he recalled.

This all began when the man lost his life.

It doesn’t mean that his death had any special meaning.

“The delivery date will be next Wednesday. I will be in your care from now on director.”

The man was in a business that provided office solutions.

“I’ll be in your care as well. Oh yes, would I be seeing you next Wednesday as well during the delivery?”

The good-spirited director asked in a friendly manner.

“Of course.”

The man nodded while smiling.

“I see. Then next week give me a call before you arrive.”

“Understood.”

The conversation ended as the man left the director’s office.

“Okay. Looks like I’ve achieved this month’s quota. With this I’ll be promoted!”

The man muttered with a grin.

After roughly half a year the man has finally secured his promotion from chief to a.s.sistant manager.

In the current psychological state, he would have skipped in joy if there wasn’t anybody around him.

He was in such a great mood.

But as the man was lost in happiness, as if ridding on an elevator, he suddenly accelerated downwards towards misfortune.

As the man walked towards the exit of the building, the string of his leather shoes loosened and he bent down to retie them.

Right at that moment as the man exit the building.

『Pa~an”』

The man heard a noise like a dry gunshot.

“Uwoo”

Immediately after his surprise, the man felt a sharp pain in his left chest, driving him to his knees.

[Due to the shock from that noise just now? I who have only just entered the thirties … My heart … ]

The pain pa.s.sed after just a few seconds.

[What was that sound just now? Did something collapse? Ah..I dirtied my knees.]

As he murmured, the man noticed the eyes around him and tried to stand up but he could not bring energy into his leg.

[Eh? This is bad. Don’t tell me the shock from just now affected my strained back? I’ve heard of such cases before. Eh? But even so I don’t feel any pain?]

As the man thought frantically, the surrounding people stared at him while shouting “Call an ambulance!”

[Eh? Maybe the sound just now … Ahh I see. That really was the sound of a gunshot]

The man guessed. At the same time he felt his body rapidly turn cold.

[I see. But I’m a man about to be promoted? All my hard work up until now, I will not die in such a place!]

The man inspired himself.

But the man could not move. As he knelt, his consciousness gradually left.

During a convenience store robbery escape, the robber shot a bullet to intimidate the chasing store clerk but ended up hitting the man.

It was a warning shot from a convenience store robbery. The man was accidentally hit on the left chest as he exited the building.

The robber could not withstand the pangs of guilt from accidentally hitting the man and surrendered at the police station hours later.

Promotion.

That was the only thing that supported the man.

As if he allowed himself to die!

He had an extremely strong will.

He was going to invite that girl on a date on the day of his promotion.

That alone was the man’s driving force.

Maybe due to that? Using that strong will, the man regained consciousness.

He himself thought so.

Because he woke up normally.

But the place he woke up at was not normal.

The man woke up in a pure white s.p.a.ce with nothing at all.

The man laid there alone.

There were more strange points.

The man should have been wearing a suit, but now he wore unfamiliar clothes.

From which era were these clothes from? He felt puzzled.

If I was shot I should be in hospital clothes or sleepwear.

But the current clothes seems like it was made haphazardly.

Other than that there was something else I found weird.

There has been no change to my body at all.

There wasn’t any wound on the left chest that was shot.

The man kept thinking while confused.

Where the heck is this place? What kind of place is it? And who changed my clothes?

Various thoughts float in his head as he frantically dispelled them while exploring other possibilities.

The man was a salaryman from of around age 30.

A bachelor but he has dated and had plenty of friends.

But in recent years he drifted apart from friends due to the busy workload. The man was thinking of finding a long term love and marriage partner.

As the man decided, he slowly changed his behavior little by little.

Especially this past year his efforts amazed the people around him.

And finally the result proportional to his effort appeared.

A slight change in topic. The man’s hobby was reading.

He started reading when he was in primary school. The books he read in middle and high school added together number in the thousands.

Since entering university he started reading mobile novels. He proceeded on to light novels and without noticing he became a light novel otaku.

Well not an otaku to the degree that he did not miss any light novels or anime.

It wasn’t to the level that would interfere with daily life.

Lately to proceed full force to be promoted, this hobby was sealed.

[Don’t tell me this development?]

The man did not want to believe it.

But reality is heartless.

{O unfortunate soul. I reincarnated you}

A voice resounded in my head.

[Could you return me to my original world?]

The man asked immediately.

{You cannot return to a world where there is already a dead body}

As I suspected I died?

[…So which world would I go to?]

{A star called Galdardia. It is a planet made of water and earth similar to Earth.}

[So it is the same as my current world?]

The man asked cautiously.

{It is a world where there are magic and demons}

[That is impossible for the general public. Of course I am aware that there are such light novels and anime. In the past I somewhat wanted such a world. But now that I have became an adult, I don’t think I will enjoy the adventure.]

{O unfortunate soul. You and 9 other souls with similar circ.u.mstances are going to be reincarnated soon in your current condition. If you don’t want that then listen to my explanation}

The man winced and was genuinely scared.

[I am sorry. Please go on.]

The man immediately bowed to the unseen voice.

Is that man a G.o.d? He did not expected that he would be threatened so soon.

{As you imagined, you will be reincarnated into a world of swords, magic and demons. I will only reincarnate you there. I will not interfere in anything from then on. Now open your status by  saying [Status open] in your mind.}

[Status open]

The man did as he was ordered. His status appeared as he recited the phrase in his mind.

Name: Undefined Age: 15 Job: Undefined LV: 1 (Body level) HP: 200 (Vitality) MP: 50 (Magic amount) STR: 20 (Physical Strength) INT: 20 (Intelligence, Comprehension) VIT: 20 (Endurance) MGI: 20 (Magical power) DEX: 20 (Dexterity) RMG: 20 (Magical Resistance) AGI: 20 (Agility) SP: 100 (Skill, Status point) 【Skills】   None 【t.i.tles】 「Altered Destiny」 (All status +10)

[Almost as if it’s a game. Haha … ]

The man laughed helplessly.

Suddenly a hologram window appeared from nothing in front of his eyes. What looks like his status was displayed on it.

[Just like fantasy… Eh? I became younger. Is this a service for me?]

Adapting quickly is the strength of a working man.

Therefore the man has already accepted the current situation.

{The set time limit is an hour. I have decided on your race and age. You can decide on the remaining points. There are no family names. I will transmit Galdardia’s fundamental knowledge directly into your brain. An hour later you would be automatically sent to Galdardia. O unfortunate soul, I hope you will achieve happiness in your next life.}

『Piron~』 Such a sound went off. Then a mechanical-like announcement was heard.

《G.o.d of Destiny blessing obtained (Increased SP acquisition)》

“Tha…Thank you very muchhhhhh”

As soon as he said his thanks, the mechanical sound rang in his head. His head was wrecked with severe pain as various knowledge that exceeded the allowable amount was planted directly into his brain.

It wasn’t the usual kind of pain, it was a dull pain like being beaten on the head with a blunt instrument.

The man’s cry of pain lessened.

Although it felt as if he experienced it for a long time, the clock in the status shows that the remaining time limit was 59 minutes and 07 seconds.

[Haa…Haa…Haa… The pain just now was not normal at all.]

After the man felt that his head was beaten by a blunt instrument without any anesthetics, he felt like something sharp was forcefully pierced into his head repeatedly.

[So I’ve obtained the fundamental knowledge with that. My head still hurts but time is limited so I will try to steadily advance.]

The Galdardia fundamental knowledge the man obtained showed him information regarding the current existing countries, their respective climate and races, the continent’s common currency and common literacy skills.

The man took a deep breath and reluctantly ventured into character creation.

In character creation, he toyed with the initial avatar’s face, creating a European like face with deep scarlet eyes and brown hair.

Name … Eh I can’t remember my name? No matter what? … Then I will combine my MMO names Michael and Lucifer and use the name Luciel.

I stretched my height from 10cm to 185cm, changed hair color from brown to silver, pupils from scarlet to pale purple.

From the obtained knowledge silver hair and purple pupils were common and they match well so this should be fine.

Remaining time 53 minutes huh.

Knowledge-wise…yup. Language-wise capable of reading and writing.

With this I should be fine.

In addition 15 years old is considered an adult so I can start working immediately.

Even so, I wish this is really just a dream.

I did the character creation with the feeling that this is a game.

I did it with only such feelings.

[The reincarnation location is relatively close to a town  compared to the plains, forest and labyrinth. However it is influenced by luck. Skills have levels and the highest level of a skill is X? To learn skills I can either spend SP or work hard to gain them.]

I was deep in thought.

With only this amount of basic knowledge I am unaware of too much. The element of luck is quite strong.

Skills are split into attack, defense, magic, support, production, lifestyle, research and tamer?

While touching the status screen to look for holes in the system, there were no search systems or hidden screens. It seems like there is no choice but to steadily find out.

First of all, luck. Although it seems like a gamble, but even at work grabbing the customer also depends on luck. In the first place, there are also people like me without any luck who got shot and had his life end suddenly.

While thinking about that, I calculated the SP required for necessary skills.

Support → Ability value → Luck → Good Luck, Strong Luck, Extreme Luck, Great Luck, Devil’s Luck, Absolute Luck, Heaven’s Luck appeared but Absolute Luck cost 100P and Heaven’s Luck cost 500P so they are out of the question.

For now the candidate is Strong luck which cost 10P.

Next we need magic.

Magic → Magical properties → Light, Holy, Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Lightning, Dark, s.p.a.ce-time. The four basic magic attributes cost 10P, Holy magic cost 20P, Lightning cost 30P, Light and Dark cost 50P and s.p.a.ce-time cost 100P.

Furthermore other elements necessary for magic usage include, Magic → Chant → Chant Shortening, Chant Termination, Chant Omission, Magic circles.

But I don’t have enough. This is very bad.

What? Of course I am talking about SP.

Overwhelming lack of SP.

Either way I was not expecting something cheat-like from the beginning.

It would be great if I had something like that but this is reality.

Using 20P to obtain Holy magic which is capable of recovery and support magic, Chant Termination for 20P, Chant Omission for 30P and Magic Circle for 30P. I instinctively feel that selecting these at the moment would be very bad.

Cooking and various ordinary skills are found under the Lifestyle skills while Blacksmithing and other ordinary skills are found under Production skills.

There wasn’t any special skills under Attack skills either.

And there are pitfalls. Even if I chose the Attack skills, it is possible that I might not have the specific weapon to use the skills with.

I have no idea where I would start from, there would be no point in learning sword skills if I do not start with a sword.

Going by that logic I decided to get the safe choice of Taijutsu (Body Technique)  for 5P.

… In this white s.p.a.ce I concentrate on obtaining only combat skills to increase my own capabilities.

But I am unlikely to survive with only combat skills.

I read the text while pondering. I tried to look for them but there are no loophole or copy-based skills. I overlapped and repeated simulations as I chose my skills while feeling lost.

In the end I chose Appraisal 20P, Taijutsu 5P, Great luck 50P, Holy Magic Apt.i.tude 20P, Magic Control 5P.

The remaining time was 18 minutes. I went back to look for any flaws in my choices. While doing so I stumbled upon Job choices.

Upon selection a certain screen was displayed.

Below that various professions were listed.

[It seems like I must select this deliberately? If I did not check then wouldn’t I have fallen into a trap?]

I thought to myself as I browsed through the professions.

Swordsman, Magician, Healer, Thief, Merchant … From the myriad of choices I chose Healer.

It might have been better to choose Swordsman or Magician.

But Swordsman or Magician may not be able to use or even learn recovery magic. One can never be too careful.

The remaining time is 9 minutes and 42 seconds…Before pressing the b.u.t.ton, I review my skill choices and try to remember skills that I will likely spend SP to obtain or work hard to gain.

When I confirmed my choices with more than 3 minutes to go, I appeared standing in a meadow holding 3 silver coins.

A meadow with nothing around as far as the eyes can seen.

” … Don’t tell me it is raining money?”

Luciel muttered as he looked up at the sky.

He took a deep breath to calm his spirit.

After calming down, he decided take a look around.

Quite a distance away, there was something that looks like the outer walls of a city.

Judging by the size capable of being seen from such a long distance away, it might be a large city.

Relieved to see a city firmly in the distance, Luciel stayed vigilant towards his surroundings as he advanced towards the city.

{I have fulfilled my promise with these 10 souls}

{Certainly. It might be a slightly interesting if the world changes with this.}

{I only gave you mediocre souls. Without souls with high adaptability, they will fall into difficult situations and are unlikely to survive.}

{Well both of us can only watch without interfering, if they all die then we can exchange another bet.}

{ … If I feel like it. See you.}

One of the lights disappeared.

{Ahh~ I wonder if it will be interesting this time.}

Muttered the other light as it disappeared.

The G.o.d of Destiny gave 10 souls including Luciel’s soul to the other world’s Chief G.o.d.

The G.o.d of Destiny lost a bet with the other world’s Chief G.o.d and transferred 10 mediocre souls.

The G.o.d of Destiny only gave his blessing to Luciel’s soul.

It was Luciel’s fate to die but he fought against his fate by sheer will to stay in his present world for as long as possible.

Because of that, be it good luck or bad luck, he was selected as one of the ten souls.

That was why the G.o.d of Destiny gave his blessing to Luciel’s soul. To watch over his future as he pa.s.sed his soul to the other world’s chief G.o.d.

Both the G.o.d of Destiny and Galdardia’s Chief G.o.d do not know what this blessing will bring about.

And so 10 souls from earth reincarnated in Galdardia.

Name: Luciel Age: 15 Job: Healer LV: 1 HP: 200 MP: 50 STR: 20 INT: 20 VIT: 20 MGI: 20 DEX: 20 RMG: 20 AGI: 20 SP: 0 Magic Apt.i.tude: Holy     【Skills】 「Appraisal-」 「Great luck-」 「Taijutsu I」 「Magic Power Control I 」 【t.i.tles】 「Altered Destiny」 (All status +10) 「G.o.d of Destiny’s blessing」(Increased SP acquisition)
