[CHOOSE FAMILY TO BE BORN INTO]
[OPTION 1: RICH CONGLOMERATE HEIR]
Life full of money and power. No need to worry about your career—you're destined to sit at the top.
But… no familial love. High risk of growing arrogant. Number of Talents attainable: 1.
[OPTION 2: REGIONAL RICH FAMILY SON]
Born into a stable and reputable family. No financial issues, no worries about job hunting.
However, your future path is predestined by your parents. Familial bonds exist—but remain shallow. Pursuing a dream profession? Extremely difficult.
[OPTION 3: CITY RICH FAMILY SON]
Well-off upper-middle-class family. Comfortable life with strong familial love. You'll have freedom to chase your own dreams.
No guaranteed career. No infinite wealth. But there is warmth, and a home to return to.
[OPTION 4: AVERAGE FAMILY SON]
A humble household with just enough income to support two kids' education. A happy and close-knit family.
Pursuing a dream will be tough due to financial constraints. No safety nets. But you gain an extra Talent.

"Huh... I can even choose the family I'm born into?"
I stared at the floating interface, half amused, half overwhelmed. The blue-tinted screen hovered in mid-air, crisp letters laid out in bold.
"...Well, definitely not Option 1 or 2."
I knew that much right away. I've had enough of loneliness in my previous life. I'm not throwing away a chance at familial warmth just for status or paper. No amount of gold bars is worth waking up in a house that doesn't feel like home.
Option 3... or Option 4...
Both offer something I missed last time—love. A place to belong.
But Option 4 gives one more Talent. That's tempting.
I hesitated, recalling my past life's regret—working endless part-time jobs to keep afloat, wasting evenings mopping convenience store floors instead of holding a guitar pick.
"A band needs money, doesn't it?"
Practice rooms, instruments, tutors, maybe even traveling for auditions someday. All of that costs time and cash. Option 4 might give me another Talent—but what's the use if I have to sacrifice precious hours just to survive?
I took a deep breath.
"...Yeah. I'm not strong enough to live through financial struggle and risk losing my dream again."
[YOU HAVE SELECTED OPTION 3]
[PLACE OF REBIRTH: JAPAN – TOYOHASHI, GIFU PREFECTURE]
[FAMILY: ELDEST SON OF THE KOTOBUKI FAMILY]
"...Kotobuki family, huh? That name rings a bell somehow…"
But whatever. Time to move on.

[TALENT SELECTION UNLOCKED]
[1 RANDOM TALENT + 1 SELF-SELECTED TALENT]
Oh, thank god. I can pick one myself. I was starting to panic about ending up with something useless like "supermarket navigation sense" or "excellent handwriting."
The random one comes first.
[RANDOM TALENT: TAP TO SPIN]
With a reluctant sigh, I tapped the shimmering spin button. A multicolored roulette spun rapidly, ticking like a slot machine from hell.
Please... just don't give me something stupid.
It slowed.
Slower.
Click… click… click…
[RANDOM TALENT OBTAINED: SUPERIOR MENTALITY]
[SUPERIOR MENTALITY]
Your Will and Spirit are exceptionally strong. You have a persistent "never give up" attitude. You are less prone to distraction and don't shy away from effort. Your problem-solving is grounded and rational.
My eyes widened.
"...Okay, that's actually... amazing."
Indecisiveness, self-doubt, fear of commitment—I dragged all of that like a ball and chain in my past life. But this… this gives me a real shot at breaking free.
A strong mentality isn't flashy. But it wins marathons.
Now for the pick-your-own section.

[AVAILABLE TALENTS]
Creative Insight – Original and imaginative ideas come naturally to you.
Rapid Problem-Solving – You instinctively find simple solutions to complex problems.
Keen Memory – Effortlessly remember important information, both academic and emotional.
Pattern Recognition – Quickly spot trends, rules, and emotional undercurrents.
Natural Charisma – You naturally draw others in and leave an impression.
Romantic Instinct – You understand love's rhythm: timing, sincerity, intention.
Artistic Sensitivity – Strong intuition and talent for music, writing, and the arts.
Lifelong Learner – Learn 10x faster and retain new skills or knowledge more efficiently.
Flow-Seeker – Easily enter the "flow state" when doing what you love.
Financial Literacy – Understand money, investment, and value from a young age.
Adaptability – Thrive even in unpredictable or unfamiliar environments.
...And many more.
"Why do they all sound so damn useful...?"
Still, I already got Superior Mentality—a sturdy base. What I need now is something that helps me build fast on top of that. That cuts down time, waste, and error.
The answer was obvious.
I selected: Lifelong Learner.
[TALENTS ACQUIRED:]
SUPERIOR MENTALITY (Lv. 1)
LIFELONG LEARNER (Lv. 1)
"...Wait. Level 1?"
A new window popped open.
[TALENT LEVELS]
Talents have three levels. The more they're used and the greater your personal growth, the more they evolve. Higher levels unlock additional sub-effects.
"Ohhh... that's cool."
So if I push myself, these talents grow too? Makes sense. Like a muscle.
Mentality would grow as I endure, and the more I use my brain, the faster Lifelong Learner levels up.
And just as I was starting to get excited—

[CHEAT ABILITY SELECTION UNLOCKED]
A Cheat Ability will be generated to help you reach unimaginable heights in one field—be it love, career, or personal evolution. However, in exchange, most memories of your past life will become hazy. You will remember that you reincarnated… and that your past life was unfulfilling. But not much else.
I paused.
This... was different.
A real trade.
I wouldn't lose everything, but the finer details—the pain, the faces, the tiny regrets—would blur. I'd no longer be haunted by them.
"...Maybe that's not a bad thing."
If I'm going to start again, really start again, then maybe I should let go of the weight I've been dragging.
[DO YOU WISH TO GENERATE A CHEAT ABILITY?]

"Yes."
The screen blinked.

...Silence.
And then—
"...Hah. No way."
A grin broke across my face. I actually laughed out loud.
"This is insane… Hahaha!"
A new life. A strong mind. A sharper learning curve. And a system tied to what I love most.
Looks like this time…
I'm really going to make it.
