Chapter 6: Death and Reincarnation.
A life so normal that nothing could be said about it. I'm just your average college student now at the age of 16.
Ever since I lost my parents in a car accident, I had given up on any hope of being truly happy.
Get a girlfriend, they say, like it's that easy!!
Although I'm unpopular, I still have a cool reputation for being among the top smartest students in my school.
I might sound sarcastic, but I can call myself a handsome dude, you know?
I mean it! And yet, I've had no luck in getting myself a girl.
At this point, I might just give up.
I'll have you know that none of this is my fault.
According to the law of causality, every event has its cause, right?
???:「Fubuki-kun!!」
And this bastard is the cause of my problem.
Makime Tobichi. The most popular girl in school.
Some of you will call me a lucky bastard for having the most beautiful girl in my school as your best friend.
But you are wrong. She is the reason why I'm still a single nerd.
I mean, everyone thinks that I don't deserve someone as pretty as her around me. Why?
Fubuki:「Oi! Let go off me! Im not your pillow!!」
She is too clingy. Makime is usually calm and composed around others, which is just a facade.
But once she sees me, her attitude takes a complete 180º turn.
She always behaves like a needy girlfriend or a spoilt brat.
But I like her no matter. Why? Because she's my spoilt brat.
She is the only one who stayed by my side when I lost my parents.
She even pleaded on my behalf to let me live with her family.
I am now living with her family and they have been really kind to me.
Makime: 「Oh come on. Stop acting like a tsundere. Ive missed you a loooot!」
Fubuki: 「We were just away for some hours. But..... I missed you too.」
I was kinda lonely so it's only understandable.
I'm not the type that have friends unlike her, so I'm always alone without her.
Makime: 「Hahaha!! I knew it! Quit being so shy to express yourself.
You'll never get a girlfriend that way, you know?」
Fubuki: 「........ Wanna feel pain?」
Makime: 「Eeek!! Please dont hurt me!」
Fubuki: 「*Sigh*. Let's just get going.」
We are currently heading home.
Standing at the roadside, all we need is a green light to start crossing the road.
And there it is. Well it wouldn't hurt to still check for incoming cars.
Makime: 「Lets go Fubuki! Its green.」
Tch! This careless brat! Why can't you be reasonable for once!
Fubuki: 「Oi!! Hold on!」
She had already started to move before I said a thing.
Right before she reached the middle of the road, a car had already made its way out of a turn.
Without stopping for anyone, it began to accelerate.
Fubuki: 「Makime!! Watch out!」
I would normally be scared as hell to think about it.
But without a second thought, I had already dashed out to violently push her out of the way.
A heavy sensation of being slammed on my left side was felt.
After being slammed, I was sent flying several metres away by the force of the crash, rolling down the road pathetically.
I guess I just experienced an elastic collision.
Heh, I can still make jokes during a time like this.
Makime: 「F-Fubuki? Fubuki!!?」
Right after the crash I was overwhelmed by an intense pain.
Dammit! It hurts a lot. I want it
to stop!
VOTW: 「Confirmed. Acquiring of the skill 『Pain Nullification』... successful」
Shit! After the impact, I feel my
blood boiling.
It's so hot, make me cold!
VOTW: 「Confirmed. Acquiring of the skill 『Heat Resistance』... successful」
Alright, scratch that, I feel cold, now make it stop!
VOTW: 「Confirmed. Acquiring the skill 『Cold Resistance』... successful.
Additionally, the skills 『Heat Resistance』and 『Cold Resistance』have evolved into the skill 『Thermal Fluctuation Resistance』」
I'm bleeding. Blood keeps flowing out of my mouth.
If this continues I'm gonna die soon.
VOTW: 「Confirmed. Creating a new body that does not require blood ... failed.
Reattempting ... failed. Reattempting ... failed. Cannot proceed with request」
Huh? What's that voice going on about?
Is that a spiritual being?
Creating a new body?
Does not require blood? I don't even understand what's going on again.
Am I going mad? I feel as if I'm being spoken to by some sort of mental lifeform.
VOTW: 「Confirmed. Creating a spiritual body for the host ... successful』
Forget about all this. I need to think rationally. My phone!
That's it! I can call an ambulance.... or not.
Dammit all!!! I just went off.
If only I had electricity to charge it.
But even so, I'm paralysed. I can't move.
VOTW: 「Confirmed. Attempting to fulfill request ... failed.
Information needed to fulfill the request is invalid.
Attempting alternative method ... successful.
The acquisition of the skill 『Electricity Resistance』has been successful.
Additionally, the skill 『Paralysis Resistance』has also been successfully acquired.」
I was always at top of the food chain when it came to my studies.
Heck, I was even given the nickname "Wise Sage."
VOTW: 「Confirmed. Acquiring the unique skill 『Wise Sage』... successful」
I always thought that with my intelligence, I'd be able to solve any problem I meet.
I guess wisdom without power is useless.
Only if I had the ultimate power to do what I want.
VOTW: 「Confirmed. Acquiring the unique skill 『Ultimate Authority』... successful」
Makime: 「N-No. It's all my fault. Im s-sorry.」
Fubuki: 「Oi. It would be really nice if I got to see a pretty lady before I die you know. As a loner, it'd be real nice.」
Makime: 「S-Shut up! You're gonna die and that's what you want to say?
What's next, could you get me some food?」
What!! No way! How did she know!?
Now that I think of it, I've always been such a glutton.
Even after being scolded on gluttony, I'd always ignore them anyway. Heh.
VOTW: 「Confirmed. Acquiring the unique skill 『Gluttony』... successful」
Wait, wait, wait, WAAAAAIIIIT!!!
Gluttony is one of the seven deadly sins right? Am I gonna go to hell because of it!?
VOTW: 「Confirmed. Reincarnation cycle destination set.
The host will begin to incarnate their spiritual body in the underworld」
You want me to beg for forgiveness right!? Nah. I ain't doing that.
I'm a figther after all. If you take me to hell, then I'll become a leader of demons.
VOTW: 「Confirmed. Attempting to fulfill request.... successful.
Undergoing racial incarnation... successful.
The host will begin to incarnate as a primordial demon」
I'm now speechless. Just wow. I think I really need an ambulance.
Fubuki: 「Makime.... please live a life better than mine.
I had always kept myself in the dark whilst affecting you.... because I lost my parents.
I wish I was able to replicate the way you lived.
I think.... I would've been a better person that way.」
VOTW: 「Confirmed. Acquiring the unique skill 『Replicator』... successful」
Makime: 「No. I like you the way you are. Everyone have their unique quirk.
You are you and that is what makes you one of a kind.
You have a pure soul and that is what makes you special.」
A pure soul huh. I've never had anyone tell me that. Is she able to see one's soul.
I'd feel like a king if I was able to do something like that.
VOTW: 「Confirmed. Acquiring the unique skill 『Soul King』... successful」
Fubuki: 「I... I see. Thank you..... for everything Makime.
I'll never... forget it.」
Makime: 「I-I see. I guess you're leaving me huh. Goodbye Fubuki. I'll never forget you.」
With that as the last thing i heard, my eyes were closed shut.
Never to be opened again. Feeling unsatisfied, Fubuki Tomori died.
An average college student, who experienced the ups and downs of life, was now leaving the world.
Fubuki Tomori's soul was linked to his newly created spiritual body created in another world.
Into a dimensional crack, so small that no eye could see.
His soul was linked to a mass of demonic energy.
This mass was the origin of all demons, and to Fubuki Tomori who had linked it, with his mind as the base, a new body was created by this same mass.
Something that was normally considered impossible, with an astronomically low rate of occurrence, was happening now.
Fubuki Tomori was born as a demon in another world.
Great! Leaving this world so soon was one thing, but meeting a vast expanse of space was unexpected. There is literally nothing here.
I can't move or see a thing. What's the need for space of I can't use it.
「Confirmed. Acquiring the unique skill 『Space Administrator』... successful」
Oi! Do you think it is funny. You've just been making fun of me for the past 10 minutes.
Aren't you being quite rude. I know I'm just a loner virgin, but
that doesn't mean I'm useless, geez.
Thinking that, I slowly but surely lost consciousness.
It looks like I'm gonna die soon. I feel so.... lonely.
