"Oh~! Young soul! Your time was met an early end.... It was unfortunate.. but that is but fate....."
Standing in front me, a beautiful blue haired girl pose dramatically while saying such lines.
"Well that's enough with the introduction. My name is Aqua, the goddess of water. I'm also the one in charge of Japan afterlife."
"Umm..... quick question where am I?"
Looking around, deep vast darkness is all around. The floor is made of unknown material having black and white tiles, and two white flame floating, brightening this area.
"Haah~? Haven't you realized it yet? You died. Dead. Isn't it obvious? Are you stupid? Hey~ hey~ are you really that stupid~? I even said that I manage the afterlife."
Aqua said with a mocking face.
(This damn girl!! How can you treat someone you just met like that?!)
"Fufu~ Well that's enough with the de-stressing process. Now that you are here, you are given the option to either reincarnate or go to heaven."
"Wait wait wait!!! I haven't even asked how I died!"
"Huh? how could you possibly not know how you died? Well, let me the kind goddess Aqua explain your cause of death...….... huh....."
Aqua make a worried and confused face as she flipping over the page of a book.
"Huh.... th-thats weird... there's nothing recorded about your cause of death.. Hey, what's your name?"
Now that she mention it....... What's my name?
"?" I tilt my head in confusion, trying to think about it really hard.
"?" Aqua copied me and also tilt her head.
"So? What's your name? Don't tell me you can't even remember your name??"
With a worry gaze, Aqua asked me.
"Hmm.... Yep it seem I don't even know my name."
"Haaahh~? Then, what's your age?"
"Uuh..."
"You don't even know your age?! Let me guess!! You also forget your gender right!?"
Withdrawing my gaze and my hand from my pants. I loudly shout:
"What a stupid question! Of course I'm a man!"
"....."
The goddess of something give me a ridiculous look.
"Since you aren't recorded in the log, the only option is having to send you to another world. That world is like an RPG world, I bet you'll like it!"
(*whisper*) "Well.. I was gonna brought up about it anyway, since that world is short on manpower.."
The blue thing said something at the end, but I can't hear it clearly.
"Fine then, I'll take that choice."
"Great! Now you'll have the option to pick 'cheat' for you to use it on your quest to defeat the Demon Lord."
...huh? demon what? fight what now?
"You see, the Demon Lord is wrecking havoc on the entire world. Monster's have gotten stronger and they multiplied too much. Worst of all is the Demon Lord Commander's and their army's. This disaster is so bad, that the people doesn't even want to reincarnate!! Now the world population is declining at a staggering rate."
Aqua said while clenching her hand and looking sad.
Wha-what the heck? That's scary as hell! Who would want to go such terrible world like that?!
"What with that look? You're having a second chance in life here! Are you so scared that you wanna throw it away?"
The blue goddess something said to me while making face's at me.
"Of course not!"
Scanning the 'cheat', there's all sort of stuff. Some of it feel illegal to even have it. There's immortality, strength of a dragon, sword that can slice nearly anything and many many more.
"Hmmmm..... what should I pick..."
"Hurry it up will you? It's not like you have a lot of time to choose."
Ignoring her, one of the paper containing these 'cheats' info is my lifeline, so I need to choose carefully. Suddenly a strong pulling feeling come out of nowhere. To my left is slip of paper, as if speaking, calling out for me to choose it.
"All right I choose this."
"Finally~ it took so long! Now stand still while you're being transported."
The floor suddenly lit up and huge blue magic circle appeared on the floor. My body is floating while the light keep getting stronger.
"Before you go, let this kind goddess give you name. Your shall be, Nanashi. It originated from Japanese, meaning 'nobody'."
"Well now, go and save the world!!"
Aqua shout to me, before white light filled my visions.
★★★★★★★★★★
[Aqua POV]
Yep he'll definitely die, I mean.. He forgot his memories and he also look weak to boot.
"Sigh.. Ah~ but tis is life. Well, better get back to work!"
Sitting on my chair, I pick up a potato chip from the infinite food refilling bowl..... AND EAT IT!!
**munch-munch**
"Alright, now who's next?"
★★★★★★★★★★
[Nanashi POV]
"Woah!! So this is a fantasy world!"
Many houses looking like from medieval Europe can be seen. Carriage being towed by horses passing by and no sight of electric tower can be seen.
People wearing armor and carrying weapon can be seen walking around, they must be an adventurer! There's also people with long ear and animal ear!! A real Beastman and an Elf!
I may have somehow forgotten everything about myself.. but! I can somehow remember about videogames, novels, comic and anime!
"Now! Let's start by becoming an adventurer!"
My cheat can't activate without becoming an adventurer. That's what the cheat slip said anyway.
After stoping an old lady to ask where the adventurer guild is, I quickly make my way there.
★★★★★★★★★★
[Guild receptionist Luna POV]
"Sorry sir but in order to register as an adventurer, you need to pay a fee of 1,000 Eris."
"Uumm.. can I get a debt? I don't have that kind of money right now..."
Standing in front of me is a young man wearing a black shirt and pants, wanting to be an adventurer. He's slim, have dark hair and a yellow eye. He's skin is so pale, he look like as if he's always sick. It's as if he never step out of his house since he was a baby. His face is average though. Since his clothing and hair is all black, his eye color really stand out.
Anyway, he thought registering as an adventurer is free?? What? Does he think gold fall from the sky??
Keeping a kind smile I kindly told him:
"I'm sorry sir, but the guild does not allow debt service."
"Umm.. can you lower the fee..?"
"..."
".."
Still keeping a kind smile I kindly again tell him:
"Sorry sir, but 1,000 Eris is the price the guild have set. If sir can't afford it, then there's nothing I can help."
"A-ah.. ok.. sorry for wasting your time.."
With the end of the conversation, he slowly walk out of the guild with a drooping back.....
"Sigh~ If he wanted to seek profitable profession, its better for him to be a brick layer than an adventurer. An adventurer job is hard and incredibly dangerous while having an unpredictable ammount of payment."
Well, alot of people become adventurer because of all those famous Fairy Tales anyway. Wanting to become a hero and such. But don't they know the death and missing rate of an adventurers?
"Sigh~"
