"The number you have dialed is currently unreachable."
"Sigh... Why is Saiko's phone out of reach?"
Today is Halloween. So my girlfriend and I decided to meet in Shibuya to celebrate.
But, all trains and metros have been stopped due to an earthquake and derailment near Shibuya station.
I don't know why, but I have an uncomfortable feeling in my heart. That something is wrong. Something is unusual.
20 years ago, I got hit by Truck-kun and got reincarnated in 1998 Japan as an orphan.
So I used my future knowledge to become rich by first writing some Light Novels, and investing what I earned in Bitcoin and some companies like Nvidia.
And now, I am rich, enrolled in a fairly good college, and have a cute girlfriend.
So life was going good.
Until now.
Suddenly, my phone also lost signal. Not just mine, but everyone's on the station.
"Hey, did you lost signal too?"
"Yeah!"
W-what's happening!?
What is this weird sensation!?
It's as if someone is touching my mind!
"AAH! What's happening!?"
"Who is mindfucking me!?"
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH! What's that!?"
After the sensation subsided, and I felt power surging in me, my eyes went wide.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH! MONSTERS!"
Everyone around me screamed. There were monsters everywhere.
Most of the people around me vanished.
And just as the rest of us started running away from the monsters, a bunch of cute monsters appeared besides us.
"Hi! I am Kogane! Inside this barrier, a lethal contest known as Culling Game has begun! You are a player—"
Kogane!? Culling Game!?
Shit! I am in the freaking Jujutsu Kaisen world!?
Saiko... Shibuya...
Oh...
Tears dripped from my eyes as I realised what might the possibility. Saiko is most likely dead.
Dammit! Why did I reincarnate in Jujutsu Kaisen!?
And at that moment, I instinctively knew what my Cursed Technique is.
[Reincarnation].
My massive(probably) cursed energy flickered as I tried to reinforce my body.
And suddenly, all Cursed Spirits which were indescriminately chasing after everyone started coming towards me.
I punched and kicked them, and they easily got exorcised.
Were they Grade 4 or something?
--------------------
After the threat of Cursed Spirits was gone, all 21 people on the platform who have also been caught in the Culling Game gathered around me, seeing that I have gotten rid of the Cursed Spirits.
"What's happening!?"
"What were those monsters!"
"What kind of anime are we in!?"
"I want to go home! Mommy! Where are you!?"
Somehow, I have become some sort of leader here. So, I shouted.
"Everyone! Calm down! It seems that we have been caught in something supernatural! Let's hear the rules first! Kogane!"
"Hi! I am Kogane! I will explain the rules of the Culling Game!"
So, everyone calmed down a little as Kogane began explaining the rules.
[1. Once a player has awakened their cursed technique, they must declare their participation in the Culling Game at the colony of their choice within 19 days.
2. Any player who breaks the previous rule will be subject to cursed technique removal.
3. Non-players who enter a colony become players at the moment of entry and will be considered to have declared participation in the Culling Game.
4. Players score points by ending the lives of other players.
5. The point value of a player's life is decided by the game master. As a general rule, sorcerers are worth 5 points and non-sorcerers are worth one point.
6. Excluding the point value of the player's own life, a player can expend 100 points to negotiate with the game master and add a new rule to the game.
7. In accordance with rule 6, the game master must accept any proposed new rule as long as it doesn't have a long-lasting effect on the game.
8. If a player's score remains the same for 19 days, they will be subject to cursed technique removal.]
As expected, it really is the world of Jujutsu Kaisen... And I was unaware about it for whole 20 years...
And just my luck, I got caught in Culling Game and became a player.
Shit!
Moreover, I didn't receive any points from exorcising the Cursed Spirits since I didn't declare my participation first.
"What the hell is this bullshit!? I am not participating!"
A man yelled at his Kogane, and before I could do anything, his Kogane said, "Removing Cursed Technique..."
"Wait! Stop!"
Sadly, his Kogane didn't listen to me, and the next moment, he dropped on the ground. Eyes open, but looking braindead.
He was dead.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!"
People screamed, and I gulped as I hastily approached the body.
I have the cursed technique [Reincarnation]. I can save him!
I put my hands on his body, and used my Cursed Technique.
"Reincarnation!"
I could feel that he has reincarnated.
But, he was still braindead. His body didn't get healed.
And with his brain dead, even his heartbeat didn't return.
"Is there a doctor here!? Do chest compressions!"
Everyone looked around, but there was no doctor around us.
So even though the man was brought back to life by me, he died again.
I witnessed the first death in the 20 years of my second life.
And Saiko is most likely dead as well because of Kenjaku and Sukuna.
I swear I will kill—no! I don't want to make a binding vow!
...This is the worst! Why did I reincarnate in this world!?
