Chapter 2 : Boundary World
🕑 Added 2022-03-01 02:02:39 +0000 UTCTL:SummerPeanut
====================================
I found myself in a white world when I woke up.
An empty world. I guess I was struck by lightning and died.
I wonder what happened after that. Sigh, I was not filial to my parents. I wanted to study harder, get into a university and enjoy campus life.
While I was thinking about this, before I knew it, a white old man appeared in front of me.
I can't really see him well. He seemed to be fading.
And then he said
“You’re finally awake. Let me apologize first. I have troubled you.”
“Although I’m really confused and unable to grasp my current circumstances, pleased to meet you. I am Fujisaki. May I know why you are apologizing to me?”
“It is because I pierced you three. In other words, I accidentally killed you.”
“First thing first, who are you? Is this heaven?”
“I am a Demi-God. This is the boundary world or, in simpler terms, one step away from heaven. I wanted to give a divine punishment to the world I manage but for some reason it was absorbed into your world. I am really sorry about that.”
“What will happen to me now?”
“I will reincarnate you with my authority. However, I am not able to return you to your former world. Unfortunately, I can only reincarnate you to the world I manage. In addition, I do not have much time left. As much as I would like to grant you special power, it seems that I do not have much power left.”
I thought that was very high-handed of him.
One-sidedly reincarnating people. And the most painful part of is not being able to leave a single word to my parents.
I wanted to be filial to my parents.
But there is no point in wasting time here.
I need to extract more information.
“What kind of world am I going to be living in?”
“It's a fantasy world as what your world termed as sword and magic. There are a lot of magic beasts in that world today, and some places are quite dangerous. Although I said I didn’t have much power left to grant you, I would try my best to fulfill your needs. I can give you two inherent skills. The other two only have one, but you are special.”
I didn't understand why I’m special but I'll ask you a few questions at once first.
“May I ask you a few questions?”
“I don't have a lot of time, but I'll answer as many as I can.”
“How old will I be when I am reborn?”
“Zero. That is to say, you will be born as a normal human being.”
“What kind of family environment will I have?”
“I can assure you that you will be well provided for at least.”
“Can I use magic?”
“Yes, reincarnators can. But not all of them.”
“Not all of them? How many different kinds of magic are there?”
“Fire, water, wind, earth are the four main attributes and then holy magic. Also, there are a few more kinds depending on the race.”
“What attributes would I have?”
“Say the word ‘status open’. While you are here, you can see your abilities in detail. You will still be able to see them in the reincarnated world, but not as detailed.”
I did as I was told and said the keyword. "Status open."

“What the heck is this?”
“Huh. It’s quite amazing even if I don’t grant you any power.”
“Does this mean I can use lightning, wind and holy magic?”
“Yes. To be precise, you become more suited to use them. You have to put in effort to use it.”
“Can I use any other magic? And what is the difference between lightning magic and the other spells in the Special Ability (Skill) category?”
“A unique skill is an ability that only you can use in the world. Therefore, you are the only one who can use lightning magic. You can also use holy magic, which has very few users. If you increase your magic power, it may be possible to use other magics as well. One piece of advice, though, is to not tell anyone about your status unnecessarily. Tell only to those you trust."
“Thank you very much. What is the level of civilization in that world? And what is the ‘S’ at the end of the lightning spell?”
“The level of civilisation in your world is about that of the Middle Ages in the west. S refers to your talent of that skill.
I digress but S is at the level where you will wonder if there’s even a single person on that level. It is fine to think that there are no two S's in that world.
S -> A -> B -> C -> D -> E -> F -> G. Depending on the time period, even not a single A talent might appear at all.”
Oh, apparently I’ve been blessed with talent.
Somehow I want to quickly be reincarnated and work hard after hearing that.
But I still need to collect information.
“I'm running out of time. What abilities do you want? I'll help you as much as I can.”
“Then I'd like to be blessed with a talent where effort is rewarded proportionally.”
“Isn't that a normal thing?”
“Maybe it's normal, but in my case it's possible that my status won't increase at all even if my level rises...”
“I see, then I will grant you innate talent.
Some people call this a faulty ability, but it's not. Some people have fallen behind because of this ability but I'm sure you'll be fine.
The experience required to reach the next level is three times that of others. However, as you level up, all your abilities except luck will increase 1 by 1. The experience required to raise the level of unique and special abilities remains the same however.
Also, the speed of recovery of magic power becomes faster.
By the way, not all abilities increase by 1 when you level up.
Other than HP, MP and luck, all other abilities increase by 2 to 5 usually."
So I can definitely grow more than others.
“Thank you, sir.”
“Then I will grant you the other ability as much as I can with my remaining powers.
Let’s see, if I have any power left I’ll give you the ‘Clairvoyance’.
It is a very useful ability because it enables you to assess other people and things, to know the flow of magic, and to see at night. It has other functions but due to time limitations I’ll stop my explanation here.”
“What will happen to you?”
“I will die after I reincarnate you. My clones will take care of the other two. As they are clones, they will have only half the power of the original me so I will not be able to give them as much power and explanation as I did to you.”
“I…see.”
“Well, it looks like time is really running out. Please do well there for my sake too.”
He disappeared.
And then my reincarnation began.
I looked at my status one last time.

It seems that I have safely received the clairvoyance ability.
It's the start of another world from here on.
