Episode 1: Prologue
We were, with perfect thoroughness, played.
Or, would it be more accurate to say, scammed?
What are the odds of a bus carrying an entire class on a school trip hitting someone?
And what are the odds of being reincarnated into another world with that person?
I still think it’s a bit absurd.
Shouldn’t the person who got hit go flying, according to the usual clichés?
However, our entire class was forcibly reincarnated into another world.
It’s all because of that guy riding his bicycle against traffic.
To avoid him, the bus driver swerved the steering wheel too sharply, which was the problem.
The attempt was good, but in the end, the guy was hit by the bus, and the bus we were on fell off a cliff and crashed.
And when I came to, the universe was unfolding before my eyes.
[Indeterminate Fate Selection Bonus]
[Kim Jong-gu (42) has demonstrated an astonishing ability to interfere with fate, resulting in the annihilation of 32 individuals, including the students of Taeshin High School, Class 2-7, and the bus driver. The Transcendent Fate Administrator expresses regret for this tragedy and, as compensation, provides an Otherworld Tourism Package (Reincarnation).]
[Case 1: Knowledge Transfer]
“….”
What floated before my eyes was a bizarre holographic window.
I looked around, but I couldn’t see anything.
I read the explanation and understood.
I’m dead.
With my friends, too.
I didn’t want to believe it, but seeing this kind of spectacle made it impossible not to.
There were some guys I didn’t like, but there were also close friends.
I can’t see them anymore.
My friends, and my parents back in the original world.
“…Ah…”
Realizing that, tears flowed without me even knowing.
I remember the moment of death.
Inside the crashing bus, we were screaming.
Now, there’s no going back.
That fact made me sad, and I shed tears.
[Case 1: Knowledge Transfer]
I cried for a long time.
The holographic window was still floating before my eyes.
What am I supposed to do?
This hologram in front of me was stubbornly asserting its presence.
Did it want to show off?
I reached out and pressed it, and a huge list was displayed.
-
[Celestial Demon Emperor Kim Chul-soo]
-
[Steel Swordmaster John Smith]
-
[Hellfire Quatchichu]
…
“….”
There were so many, and each name was amazing.
[Case 1: Knowledge Transfer]
Transfers the knowledge of the given individual.
Learn it on your own.
I understand what it means.
In other words, we met a death that wasn’t in our fate, and as a result, we were all reincarnated into another world.
The knowledge transfer in front of me must be the bonus.
Without hesitation, I reached out and pressed Celestial Demon Emperor Kim Chul-soo.
There’s no need to even think about it….?
[Happy Gacha!]
Ding!
The list spun around wildly, turning into something like a slot machine.
Ah, right.
“Given” hero, huh.
Is that what it meant?
I was a little disappointed, but I decided to accept it with a humble heart.
I’m lucky.
I don’t seem very lucky to have died like this, but when you think about it, it’s all the fault of that guy on the bicycle.
In my past life, I had very good gacha luck.
Plus, enhancement luck too.
So I believe I’ll get something good in this gacha as well.
Celestial Demon Emperor Kim Chul-soo… the name is strange, but anyway, I’ll get something good comparable to that.
Thinking that, I leisurely watched the slot machine with a half-dreamy gaze.
[Winner!]
– Sucking-Essence Witch Kim Ji-hye
….?
Wait a minute.
Is this for real…?
With that, I lost consciousness.
