"Ughhhh, my h-head. Why did this have to happen?" Kelvin asked himself, holding his head, drunk. Kelvin is the manager for the top idol group in Japan: Kochi-wakke. And now he's going to die, drunk on the road. Serves him right, he thought. He was basically mooching off more than half the cash the girls were earning, but maybe. Just maybe his death might make them happy.
Flatline, Cardiac Arrest, died of a heart attack.

Kelvin then woke up in the middle of a forest, it appears he is in his 20s. Which makes him happy, he didn't like being in his 40s, so he finds this a welcoming addition. But he then quickly walked in circles, trying to make out of what this situation is.
"It appears that I have died, and Reincarnated in my 20s in another world. All I have to do is find the culture and laws and time period of this new world and I can make the most of it." He said to himself, before noticing as a large purple dragon flies up ahead. That answers one questions, apparently this is a fantasy world
"If only I could see my stats or something." Yeah, if only this was an Isekai situation, then maybe a stat screen will appear in front of him right no-
Name: Kelvin Lutheran

"Hey! Why is my luck so trash? I was the top idol group's Manger! I didn't deserve this." He screamed, before scrolling down this blue holographic screen
SKILLS: Peanut Allergy. Impotency. Atheist.
Unique SKILL: Unchosen.
Unchosen? What does he have to do, name a skill to get it?
"Can my unique skill be, Indoctrination or something? I want to be like a ringmaster again."
UNDERSTOOD: NEW UNIQUE SKILL: INDOCTRINATION ACQUIRED. CLASS CHOSEN: RINGMASTER.
"Of course." He mumbled under his breath, he figured there is no do-overs, so therefore he just now has to accept he is now a 20 year old ringmaster in a forest. But then, he smiled. And declare a new goal!
"If this is a fantasy world! Then I will make it all an act!" He said. He didn't know what he meant by that, but Kelvin might find that this will be easier than he thought.
There was then some rustling in the bushes and out popped a small blue slime, like those you see when playing rpgs.
Without thinking he suddenly materialized a whip from his pockets. Must have been a bonus to becoming a "ringmaster" and he then effortlessly whipped the slime into oblivion. That was easy enough, is what he probably would've said if about 10 more slimes didn't just.appear, but thankfully slapped them into oblivion, but then left 1 alive, he wanted to try out indoctrination. And as soon as he thought of using it, his hand suddenly glowed purple, before the slime seemed to scream, and then it fell limp, before it rose again
INDOCTRINATION SICCESS! SLIME HAS BECOME PART OF YOUR TROUPE. BIG TOP SYSTEM POINT OBTAINED.
"Big top System?" What the hell is a big top system? He checked the status screen again and there appeared to be a new notification, when he scrolled down and clicked on the notification out popped a skill class tree, there were tons of upgrades, but he could only afford one at the moment.
WELCOME TO BIG TOP SYSTEM: OBTAINTED AS A COMBINATION OF RINGMASTER CLASS AND REINCARNATION BONUS: BUILD CIRCUS AND WOW THE CROWD.
CIRCUS BEGINS: YOU CAN NOW COMMAND THOSE YOU RULE OVER INTO DOING CIRCUS ACTS.
That looked interesting to him, and he smiled. It's like idol training! He and the girls worked on their performances weeks in advance. It was honestly the only fun crap they ever did.
"Slime, roll around and bounce around, bounce twice, then slam down!" I said in a cheery voice. And then the slime did that, it was bouncy and whimsy, but qhen it slammed down, it ended up breaking the tree stump in half, at least he is lucky enough to have a partner that is capable in a fight.
"Look over there, a city?" He said, pointing to a town nearby. He smiled at the slime, grabbing it as it rolled to his shoulder. Time to GET RICH.
---
"Come here and all, and watch as Kelvin's bouncy blob tumbles around, pay us your money as well as it pounds!" He said, trying to sound cheerful as he used his Indoctrination skill to make the slime roll and perform a few tricks. The town seemed to like it, what nice gullible people. But then they lost interst after about 2 hours but thankfully they gave him a total of 100 gold pieces. He could convert 5 gold pieces into 1 BIG TOP SYSTEM POINT. So he concerted 15 gold pieces into 3 points. Which he then used to purchase another skill
TROUPE MASTER 1: CAN HANDLE AND Indoctrinate 3 ENTITIES IN TOTAL, PREVIOUS 1.
"Interesting, now time to buy a new get up. My tuxedo smells like dirt and piss." Kelvin remarked to the air as he walks into a tailor.
"Why hello my goof sire, give me your finest red suit and top hat for 85 gold if you can?" He asked in a flamboyant voice to the shop owner. Who then sighed and simply got him the clothes as requested. Thankfully he managed to get 15 silver pieces in change, shich means he is 15% of the way to have a gold piece again.
Kelvin, then whistled and walked down the road aith his slime and spotted a rather odd sight. A cute silver haired wolf eared girl being abused by 4 thugs. What a daring sight to see. He has a small enough sense of justice to decide to put an end to these thugs.
"Hey lads, don't be rude to this young lady!" I told them, but they barely paid attention to me. Looks like he has to do this the hard way.
CRACKLE WHIP BLAM! He didn't know the strength of his own whip, and before he knew it, the 4 men lied on the ground their corpses a bloody mess. Dead.
"Who are you, what is your name little girl?" Kelvin asked her.
"My name? My my name is Laventine." Said the girl. Kelvin knew that perhaps this is the start of his business.
"My girl, Laventine, do you want to be part of an unforgettable show? I can't use the bouncy blob forever. So what do you say? Pal." Kelvin asked her, his hand outstretched. She took it. The pact is sealed
WOLF DEMIHUMAN INDOCTRINATION SUCCESSFUL. ACQUIRED NEW SKILL FROM SUCCESSFUL INDOCTRINATION.
Super smell: Smell enhanced by 2x.
This is when Kelvin realized. He can be both overpowered and a ringmaster, time to get rich.
