Spring has begun. On the way to school, Ren paused to enjoy the view of the cherry blossoms in bloom. The peaceful feeling he felt right now would have been unattainable in my previous life. Suddenly, a cold, emotionless voice rang in my head.
[Ding! System activated!]
[Ding! System connecting with host]
A virtual screen appeared in front of me. As expected, I sighed internally. I thought I would find peace in this world.
If it were my first life, I might have been overjoyed to receive the system, but I've already reincarnated once, and this is my second. In my first reincarnation, I fought relentlessly and prioritized others.
Now, I will live for myself and find a partner to spend the rest of my life with. And now, looking at the virtual screen in front of me, I feel something strange. I hope it's not what I think it is. I start to ask.
"System"
[Yes, host!]
"Why did you choose me?"
[Yes, host!] To make your wish come true]
"I know such a good thing isn't free, what do you want from me?"
[Yes, host! I just want you to live a happy life in this world... so I'll help you!]
Her voice was slightly different from before, softer and more human-like, and why did it sound like I'd heard it before?
"Okay, I'll trust you for now. So what's your purpose?"
[Yes, host! You just have to complain about the heroine and protagonist and the things that happen around them, and you'll get a reward.]
"Why are there such things between heroines and protagonists? I knew something was wrong.
[Yes, host! Because this world is a collection of various franchises you've seen in your previous life. Oh, and there are also supernatural beings like gods, demons, devils, angels, fallen angels, and vampires.]
What?! So that's the real reason. I thought I could live peacefully, but now I think that's impossible. Fate really is playing tricks on me.
[Yes, host! That's why I'm helping you.]
I sighed, shaking my head.
Suddenly the wind blew blowing the cherry blossoms with it, in my view I saw a white beret flying towards me I caught the beret with my hand, when I looked ahead there was a beautiful girl standing there with short dark brown hair with the same eye color as her hair, that's when the memory that I had long forgotten began to come back.
When I tried to process my memory, the girl started to approach me and said.
"Thank you for getting my hat." I nodded and returned it.
"Haven't seen you around before? Oh! I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Kato Megumi. If there's anything you don't know, you can ask me."
"Thank you my name is Takahashi Ren just moved from overseas. This is my first time living in Japan, Pleased to meet you.
"Sure."
(I didn't expect to meet the heroine on my first visit. Was this fate or coincidence?) Suddenly, I saw the girl pause, with a surprised expression.
"What's wrong?"
"Oh, nothing. Ren, are you going to school here?" She asked.
"Yes, that's why I'm processing the transfer documents here."
"What grade are you in now?"
"Second grade."
"Then we'll probably be in the same year."
(She's a really expressionless girl. I wish she'd put a smile on her face. That would make her look cuter.)
"Then, see you later."
"Hmm...see you later." When I couldn't see her, the girl smiled faintly behind me.
I started to leave and called the system, ignoring the bespectacled boy riding a bicycle with an annoyed expression on his face as he watched all this.
"System"
[Yes, host!]
"Check status"
[Yes!]
A virtual screen appeared in front of me.
{ Host: Takahashi Ren
Race: Human
Title: Strongest swordsman, Hero, Sworn enemy of otherworldly entities.
Power: Sword master (high-tier)
Inventory: None
Ability: Twin sword mastery (red), Dragon heart (red)
Dimensional travel locked }
When I saw the title on the status screen, I felt a bitter taste lingering in my chest. It wasn't surprising, as I couldn't help but notice the power panel, as I could always guess, because wherever you are, there are always unexpected dangers.
I could already guess the name of dimensional travel, but I thought it couldn't be that simple, so I asked.
"System, what's wrong with the dimensional travel function?"
[Yes host you will carry out tasks and get rewards, after completing them you can travel between the worlds whose tasks you completed] so because I already got my answer, I continued my journey to school to take care of my transfer.
