The Reincarnated Boy's Growth Log ~The Harder I Work The Stronger I Can Become!?~ Chapter 1

In The Darkness

I’m in darkness when I regain consciousness.

Nothing in all directions, just endless darkness.

I look around without knowing my directions and,

“Have you regained consciousness? Katsuragi Hayato”, a beautiful female’s voice could be heard.

Looking at the direction of the voice, there stood a beautiful woman I’ve never seen before.

“Iya~, thank you for the beautiful woman! I’m extremely happy that everybody who came here says that! As I thought because there’s this that I can’t quit being a Reincarnation G.o.d! Maybe because all the other G.o.ds are handsome men and beautiful women that they have gotten used to it, I rarely ever get complimented~”

I thought she was extremely beautiful and, she begins speaking with amazing vigour. It makes me think that she’s a slightly disappointing person.

“Who’s the disappointing person! Recently the other souls that came here would compliment me if they are a normal person but, those who like light novel or anime goes ‘Give me cheat!’, ‘Make me popular!’, there’s nothing but that so I reincarnated them without talking. The other G.o.ds also don’t come and play……”

This G.o.ddess is not a disappointing person, she’s a lonely person.

“Don’t say lonely~! It’s just that the people who come to play is few! I’m totally not lonely!”

I somehow feel sorry for this person..eh?
It feels like she has been replying to what I was thinking since just now.

“G.o.ddess-sama. Could it be that you’ve been reading my mind since just now?”

“You’ve realized. I’ve been reading your mind since a while ago. There were only people that go ‘Reincarnation is here!’ or ‘Quickly gimme cheat!’ until now but, you’ve only genuinely thought that I’m beautiful”

Since she really is beautiful. Well featured face with golden hair and blue eyes. The body of a model with slender legs. Furthermore, the extremely dangerous clothes that I have trouble on where to put my eyes on.

“Fufufu! Thank you! Then, let’s begin the talk about the future”

Talk about the future?
Come to think of it, she said something about reincarnation just now.

“That’s exactly it. Do you remember why you are here?”

Speaking of my last memory, come to think of it school has ended and it was raining, I remember I was on my way home. After that…that’s right! I heard a woman’s scream when I finish crossing the road, I turn back and, a car going at high speed is, closing towards the woman and when I saw that I moved and pushed the woman out of the way on the spur of the moment, in exchange I

“That’s right! I got ran over instead of the woman”

“That’s exactly it. You died on the spot from that incident. That’s why you became an after-death spirit, and come to this place”

I see. I died huh. I wonder what happened to the prized collections I hid in my room? It’ll be trouble if my mother or sister found it.

“If it’s Hayato’s prized collections then your sister found it. She incinerated it immediately.”

Seriously……the collections I gathered with all my effort.

“Well, don’t mind! And so, is it fine if I continue?”

“How terribly unconcerned oi!”

“I mean I’ve seen a lot of that. I got used to it. Tehe!”

This G.o.ddess just went ‘Tehe!’, the solemnity from before is gone and I’m getting irritated.

“Well well, please calm down. Let’s talk about the future”

“The talk about the future is about the reincarnation?”

“Yes, that’s exactly it. All souls that have lost its physical body comes here. Then, I’ll make a judgement after looking at that individual’s life until death, and reincarnate them”

“The criterion for the reincarnation is?”

“There are tons of criterion but, the most important one would be the good and evil deeds you’ve done while you were still alive. The ones who do good deeds while they were alive, in the next life they could become a King. The ones who did nothing but evil deeds, there’s also the chance that they can’t be humans”

What’s with that disparity.

“Well, though these are extreme instances. Even if they only did evil deeds, there are those who reincarnated into humans. Usually, there’s an equal chance of becoming a commoner or slave. Well, there are also individual differences so just take it as reference”

She just casually said something important, this G.o.ddess.

“Oi! What is this about slave!?”

“Aa, that reminds me, the j.a.pan Hayato lived in didn’t have any slaves, right? In whichever country of the world that I’m having you reincarnate in, there’s a slavery system. Therefore, you will become a slave if you’re caught and sold so please be careful”

This G.o.ddess, said it all with a smile.

“But, even if you tell me that now, won’t my memories be gone after I reincarnated?”

“Hayato has acc.u.mulated quite the number of good deeds so it’s possible for you to keep your memories after reincarnation. The good deeds, it’s among the Top 10 since I’ve gotten this job. By the way, those in the Top 10, in the next world there’s a lot of them who are Kings or Heroes who leave their names in history for their accomplishments”

“Eh? I was just an ordinary student though?”

“The woman you saved, after you’ve died, was extremely grateful, and that increased your good deeds”

“The good deeds increase with just that?”

“Normally they don’t increase by that much. That’s how amazing that woman’s way of expressing grat.i.tude is”

“It’s that amazing?”

“Do you want to know?”

“Eh?”

“Do you really want to know?”

Wai, G.o.ddess your face is close!

“N, no! It’s fine!”

I got frightened by the intensity.

“Is that so. Then let’s carry on talking”

She returned back to the G.o.ddess from before. What was that. That pressure.

“Eーto, it was about keeping my memories. Then I’ll keep them”

“Understood. Reincarnation while keeping your memories. Since you are keeping your memories, I have a good news for you”

What? Good news?

“Judging from your talent, I gave you the ability『The harder I work, the more I grow』so good luck! And I also gave you the ability to immediately understand language!”

Somehow she just said something very important with a nice smile.

“Wait! What does that……”

Before I finished talking, the surroundings get covered in light and it became pure white as far as the eyes can see.

“Then, have a new life!”

And like this, my new life began.
