Right now, I am standing in the middle of nothing, more correctly it is in the middle of black space, I can see ground which is like a chess table, around five metres radius but beyond that is covered with something like the black mist so I can't see anything.

It's strange but I can't remember the names of my relatives, friends and even my own.

I have no idea of How did I get here. I am just a university student. despite being an otaku, I am not an unsociable shut-in, so After finishing my training, I met up with my best friend and then we went to the airport. We were going to Ibiza. then I fell asleep in the plane and when I opened my eyes I was already here. At first, I thought that it was a dream but after half an hour I was still there, I tried various things to forcefully wake up, but everything was useless, just where in the world am I?

It's been 45 minutes since I came here and finally I saw the light sphere, when I got closer, it changed its form and it became a human-shaped lump of light. It faced me, and I asked

"what are you?"

On my question, it smiled and said

"I'm one who you would call a god..."

"sorry, but I don't believe in god"

"Fue!"

It leaked a stupid voice on my declaration and said with a panicked face

"Wha... what you mean you don't believe"

"even if you ask me... it means exactly what it says"

"but... but, I was told that if I say so then everyone would hook on it"

So, you aren't a god huh.

"now, who you actually are?"

"well, I am..."

In shortly it is one of the representatives of the universe and on top of that I am its first visitor so, it's kind of nervous, because of that it introduced itself as a god by the advice of its senpai, that's it... what the heck is this! a representative of the universe, advice from senpai, what kind of prank is it!

Because it's too unbelievable, I asked with a dubious gaze

"are you serious"

"absolutely"

I think it's serious...but there is a question that is far more important

"even if it's true what does this has to do with me and why am I here?"

"well...you see... the thing is... that your plane which should have been safe, exploded and everyone there died..."

"Wha... you can't be serious, you are saying that I died, don't joke like this!"

"I can prove you"

After saying that it flicked its fingers and in front of me appeared screen, it displayed news about the plane crash, it was my plane...that means I really am dead.

"wait, you said 'plane that should be safe' right, what do you mean by that?"

On my question, it started trembling and said with an unstable voice

"well...you know this accident shouldn't happen, the plane should be safely landed, but for some reason, our system screwed up and the plane crashed..."

"so, it was your fault"

"yes..."

"....."

Eh, what an irresponsible thing. More importantly

"I am calmer than I should be, why."

"that's because we cut off your emotion, so you won't go mad again"

What! Cut off my emotion, why did it say 'again', it confused me even more.

"explain"

I said with shaking voice

"ok, I will tell you..."

Looks like it's not the first one I'm here, rather then first it's seventh, the reason being is when they told me that plane crash was their fault I started shouting, insulting and things like 'because of your fucking mistake why should I lose my life, if you fuckers can't do your job properly, then it's time to retire you stupid fucker' there were more extreme ones, but lets just don't mention about it...because of all this they cut off my memory about this event and tried again, but...the result was same. So, after the sixth attempt, they deprived me of rage and went on round seven. quite effective...

After the explanation, it added

"well, compared to your friend you were easier to handle, I mean your words were extreme, while his were super extreme... good thing that I wasn't the one who met him"

Well, it's not that surprising, after all, he is the one who inspired me to go to Ibiza, so, it's ok to say; 'as expected'.

Well somehow, I believe what it said but

"did you guys, talked to all passengers like this?"

"well, not everyone, most of the victims were Reincarnated with good appearance and talents"

"and who's left talked to representatives, but why"

"we did it depending on your regret level. the ones mentioned earlier had low regret levels so, they were reincarnated without knowing anything and you who had high levels are able to edit your appearance and choose what kind of talent you want"

regret level, huh. I guess it can't be helped

"ok, let me edit myself and reincarnate me quickly"

"......"

Hhmmm...why did it become so quiet. It became suspicious so, I looked its face and it seemed it was uneasy, after few seconds it said

"I got the report, head representative wants to meet you and your friend"

Hhmm...interesting, why would head representative wants to meet us. After thinking for a while I decided

"ok, I will meet him"

"I will be going then"

After saying that it slowly disappeared.

And I'm alone in this place, again...after a while, I could see light, but this time there is two, sphere. They changed their form, one of them became the same human shaped, lump of light and the second one was normal human being, with normal clothes. That was...my best friend, which I know from middle school, the one who said super extreme words to god-like existence, too bad that I don't remember his name. well, whatever he's fine so, all's cool, but after reincarnation, we will be separated, whatever I'll deal with it when the time comes.

"long time no see, well not that long...but, anyway it's good to see you again"

I greeted him like this when they got closer

"it sure has been a short time, but in this place, it feels like entirety"

He said that and then we hit each other's fists. while we were at it new lump of light came closer and said

"I am glad about your reunion, but I'd like to talk to you about something important"

If I remember correctly the previous one said that head representative wanted to meet with us, so, it's him. Completely different from that one, his atmosphere is calm, what I can't say about the first one. Well, I wonder what kind of business have the head representative with me.

While I was thinking about this and that, head rep(representative) flicked his fingers and suddenly in front of me appeared three chairs and one roundtable. With his hands he suggested us to sit, when we sat on the table appeared two cups and tea cakes looks like our conversation isn't going to be the short one...

"I have already talked to your friend and he approved it, I will say the same thing to you, so, I'd like you to listen carefully to what I suggest"

"ok, I'm listening, so, go straight to business"

"as you wish I will say everything shortly, as the head representative I have many privileges, so, I created the world and now I need someone to reincarnate there"

So, you need to test it, right.

"and what kind of world is it?"

When I asked he grinned and said;

"I think you'll love it since it's the fantasy world based on anime and manga..."

"REALLY! THAT MEANS THERE WILL BE DRAGONS, ELVES AND OTHER FANTASY THINGS!"

His words weren't finished when I stood up and shouted, before I knew it they were looking at me while grinning from ear to ear, seeing that I quickly sit down and asked

"so, why did you choose us?"

"well, there wasn't any practical reason, I just took action when the opportunity showed up"

I guess I'm lucky.

after thinking for a bit, I faced my friend

"and you agreed, but why, you wanted to be a DJ"

"well, you see he told me that when I die there I will be reincarnated in a modern world with the same character I am now if that's so, why don't try something new"

"I see, 'take what you can get' right?"

"exactly"

He answered while laughing

"of course, you also will reincarnate after your life there ends"

"and, what should we do there?"

"there is nothing you need to do, just live on your fullest, I'll observe you and decide if you succeed"

Hhmmm...I guess it's alright

"ok, I will go there"

When I said that he clapped his hands with a smile

"ok, you are the first ones to go in my world, so I'll grant you with talents in martial art, mana control and give you a gift"

Saying that he flicked his fingers and on the table appeared dozens of cards

"now please choose one of these, it will give you your unique and additional skills"

Oh, it seems interesting. Thinking so, I pulled out one card, so did my friend. And there were...

~active~

-Mana master

-parallel thought

-appraisal

-body strengthening

~passive~

-fast mana recovery

-fast health recovery

Hhmmm...I can guess what the last five are, but what's with the first one, what does mana master means, let's just ask the head rep about this. I was going to ask my question, but I was one step slower

"I don't understand what these means, explain if you mind"

it was my friend, who didn't let me ask

"I don't mind, please tell me what skills you get"

"ok, they are..."

~active~

-photographic memory

-appraisal

-body strengthening

~passive~

-headhunter

-fast mana recovery

-fast health recovery

It's almost the same as me.

"well then which exactly you don't understand"

"it's this 'headhunter' thing, I know what it means, but what can it do?"

As expected, it means what it says, but with its name, you can't figure out its purpose. As for me, I don't even have any idea what its name means and figure out its purpose seems impossible.

"I see, you are quite lucky to get skill this rare. Ok, firstly passive skills are always activated and now I will explain the definition of 'headhunter' in the simplest way possible. When you kill something that holds mana in its body your mana capacity will increase by half of what that creature originally had"

What! That's so, cheat. With this, his capacity will increase infinitely!

"hohoho, that's really cool"

He said so, while grinning widely, anyway I also need to know more about my skill, it seems a good time to ask

"I also would like to know what this 'mana master' is"

He was listening patiently, but after hearing the name of the skill he seemed to be surprised

"hhmmm...'mana master' right, I could not imagine that you would get that. As for its meaning, well, with this you can freely control mana in your body and your surroundings, also access to anything that contains mana in it, even human if that fellow will allow it, but that's not all you can grant mana to everything, if you raise your level you will be able to give skills that you have to any item and reverse"

To say truth the middle part wasn't that impressive, but the part about controlling mana and 'giving skill to any item and reverse' are what shocked me, because that means that not only I will be able to make magical item, I can even take skills from items that were already enchanted also I can recover my mana instantly. Isn't that awesome, that's more cheat than I could even imagine

"Ho-how do I do that! Please tell me!"

After I came back from my train of thoughts I quickly asked how to do it, but...

"Oh my, this is something you should figure out yourself"

Is what he said...but I want to know it now! Haa—I guess it can't be helped I'll deal with it some other time.

"now do you have anything other, but I can't give you something rare you know, so, if you want any other skill please limit yourself with something common ok"

Looks like we can get more skills than this, I don't really need any more than this---no there is one thing I want

"poker face, could you give me that"

On this request first, one to report was my friend

"why do you want this as skill"

So, he asked while tilting his head

"you know, I always had problems with hiding my emotions so, I was like an open book, that's why I need a poker face to prevent that"

"well...you have a point"

"what about you?"

On my question, he shook his head while smiling

"no, not really, I'm good with what I have"

"I see..."

While we were having this kind of chat head rep clapped his hands

"poker face right, I think that's a good choice, I'll give you that and with this, we are done, now..."

"wait can I ask one more thing?"

Head rep was about to say something, but I cut his words

"what is it"

"well, you know, there I'm going to train hard, but I don't want to become oversized can you do something about that?"

"you are so greedy, but that's ok, in that case, I will give you a skill that will let you control your muscles to a certain degree, the principle is complex, but it will work, so are you fine with that?"

"yes absolutely"

"Hey, I want that too"

Right after me, my friend reported that

"ok, I'll give it to both of you. now let's talk about your appearance, I guarantee that you will be handsome, but tell me if you have any suggestion, like what height you want to be, also hair and eye colour"

Choosing... that feels kind of weird, but whatever I will do it

"first tell me what colour eyes and hair you want"

I wanted to say it first, but...again this best friend did it faster than me, damn that hurts you know.

"I want dark green hair and bright green eyes"

You love green like always.

"I want eyes and hair both very deep black, as deed as possible--no the deepest you can"

"ok, I get it, why did you say it three times"

"well, just in case"

"Whatever, now what height you want to be"

""183cm""

We said it at the same time

"what"

"what"

And that was us not understanding why did that happen

"man seriously, 183cm, are you sure about taking the same as me"

He told me that kind of thing

"man, what are you talking about I'm sure I was the first one to say it"

We were about to start quarrelling but...

"what are you arguing about, you both can take same, there is no rule or anything that prohibits you from doing so"

"I can take that"

Man, you gave up too quickly, haa—

"ok, I changed my mind, I want to be 180cm"

"so, your final height will be 180 and 183 cm right"

Head rep said that while pointing his finger towards us. I guess it's all good I don't have to worry about being short and 180cm is not that short...

Now, all this are good but...

"where exactly will we be reborn?"

I get that the world will be fantasy, is created based on anime and manga, which means I can use the knowledge that I gained with being otaku, but that's not what I want to ask, I mean that's another world so of course there will be many countries, so I want to know the exact location of where will we be reincarnated.

"the location will be chosen randomly, so I don't know, but you will be in the same kingdom, so you can meet"

So that's how it is, huh. now then...

"let's see, if that's fantasy world then you will become adult at age of 15, so whatever country it is, lets met in the capital, at this age or under it, ok"

"deal"

After saying that we hit each other's fists, well, of course, it's our greeting after all

"now it's time for you to go, but at last, I'll say you two things, first, if you want to check your skillset in front of you will appear screen. It will be invisible for others, it only shows your skill names and its description, there won't be your name because you are the only one to use it, so it's unnecessary..."

When he started to explain the pale light covered us, looks like reincarnation has already started.

"so, there won't be levels, huh"

I cut his words with my understanding.

"yes, that's right, I thought that it would be harder without it, so I didn't add it, are you perhaps disappointed with this"

"Um... no, not at all, I think it's better like this, maybe..."

As our conversation continued the light was getting thicker, I think in a few seconds it will fully cover my vision

"...and the second thing I wanted to say, well it's more like a warning, when you wake up after reincarnation you won't be able to remember anything about me or other representatives, but, you will still know that you and your friend are both reincarnated and, also, about your meeting point, so don't worry about anything"

"eh"

"eh"

We both leaked stupid voices out of surprise, what does this means, I have to ask immediate__

"Wha—what do you mean by that"

The one who asked wasn't me, but my friend...is this a curse?

"well it can't be helped, after all, I can't let someone know about us"

So that's how it is, huh...

"Oh, I almost forgot about this, but when you get there you will get your attribute in magic an if you are lucky then you will also get more skills. This is farewell so goodbye"

When he finished talking my vision was completely covered so I can't see anything

"well, that's a shame, it was great to know the truth about the universe"

My friend said that with a bitter voice, I also want to say last words to him but, when I was about to open my mouth, I lost my consciousness, everything turned black and when I opened my eyes I was looking at the wooden ceiling...
