Within an operating room in a certain hospital, 2 babies were about to be born.
*Baby's cries*
A cry of a newborn resounded within the room, however, it wasn't over yet as another baby was still about to come out.
Contrary to the first that came out, the second to come out was quiet.
The two babies that were just born was the reincarnation of Akio and the fox deity, the first one to come out from the womb of their mother was the fox deity.
---------------------
"BASTARD! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!?" the fox deity's thoughts were directly conveyed to Akio's mind.
"Quiet down for a bit why don't you?" Akio lazily replied to the fox deity's tantrums, this further infuriated the deity.
The reason that the two were able to communicate was due to their special connection because of the card that Akio used.
Back in the blank space where they were summoned, at the time Akio opened his status, he noticed something.
[Congratulations! You have received a Special Title - The Jester]
[You have received unique items from the Special Title - The Jester]
[Received Special Equipment: Jester's Suit]
[Received Special Item: The Fool's Sword]
[Received Special Item: Mask of Deception]
[Received Special Item: The Fool's Handgun]
[Received Special Item: The Joker Contract]
Would you like to directly receive all the items?] [Yes] [No]
Akio was about to select [Yes] when he noticed something wrong, he read the question of the system again and noticed the words "directly receive", the Status Window was simply just that, it only showed information and no other functions, there was no inventory nor was there any skills, thus, he deduced that if he selected [Yes], the items would manifest physically which could cause a ruckus.
Pondering over what to do, Akio experimented and an additional information window appeared when he thought about the equipment [Jester's Suit], the information window showed as such:
[Jester's Suit]
[Description: The Royal Fool's garment, a suit with various effects, the suit itself is indestructible, it
has a color of black and red, and has a total of 5 silver bells, it's very comfortable to wear.
Effects: {Indestructibility}{Presence Masking}{Item Invisibility}{Storage Bells}]
Akio tried focusing on the effects and just as he had expected, their informations appeared.
[Indestructibility - Items with this effect are impossible to be destroyed]
[Presence Masking - The item is able to hide the wearer's presence]
[Item Invisibility - The item is able to hide itself]
[Storage Bells - The bells on the suit are able to store any items, only one item per bell]
Akio tried to see if he could use the effects of the suit even without wearing the suit, however, the only 2 effects can be activated, first off, [Indestructibility] is always active, while the suit has to be worn to activate [Presence Masking].
Akio first activated [Storage Bells] there were 5 bells so that means he could only store a total of 5 items, he stored the remaining 4 items which were [The Fool's Sword][Mask of Deception][The Joker Contract][The Fool's Handgun] after reading their descriptions.
[The Fool's Sword]
[The Royal Fool's Sword with a black hilt and a crimson blade that seems to be colored with blood.

[Rupture - Able to make rifts/ruptures on any unliving objects]
[No Damage - The item is unable to inflict damage to any living entities]
Akio saw the [No Damage] effect but paid no heed to it and took great interest to the item fusion, although, he wanted to try it, he was unable to do so due to the current situation.
[The Fool's Handgun]
[The Royal Fool's Handgun, a gun as dark as the night with silver bullets, maximum of 24 ammunition.

-----------------------
After reading the descriptions and storing the items within the storage bells, Akio had activated the suit's effect [Item Invisibility] and was able to equip it without anyone seeing it.
Back to the present, the fox deity or Akio's sister is still throwing complaints towards Akio telepathically, the reason she was able to do so was that Akio had used the [The Joker Contract], it was also what caused them to be born as twins upon reincarnating.
"Hope we get along, my dear sister" Akio said with a sarcastic tone.
"H-Huh!? Who'd get along with you!?" said the fox deity which Akio paid no mind to as he started dozing off and eventually went to sleep.
-3 years later-
A young boy can be seen running around the yard of a huge mansion, it was Akio and this was the first day that he started training his body, although, back in his old world, training at a young age may hinder growth, it wasn't a problem in this new world.
Akio and the fox deity were twins born under the family name of Asahiro, unexpectedly, Akio received his old name while the fox deity was named as Ayane.
After reincarnating, begun what Akio deemed as a nightmare as he experienced getting breast fed, and got his diaper changed, it was also a struggle due to being unable to control his body as a baby.
The first 1 and a half year, Ayane would always try to pick a fight with Akio while he just ignored her completely, until an accident happened which almost took Ayane's life but was saved by Akio.
After the accident, Ayane completely became very well behaved and even referred to Akio as Aniue.
2 years after reincarnation, Akio would sneak out and go to the mansion's library to read books, while Ayane would always come along, thankfully, they were born under a Japanese family, thus, Akio had no trouble gathering information by reading books.
From reading books, Akio was able to know the history of the world, 40 years ago, a catastrophe that changed the world had occured, rifts appeared all over the world and monsters poured out of these rifts, the monsters rampaged and each countries received massive casualties.
Various countries and land were destroyed, and humanity was brought to the brink of extinction over the course of a single day.
However, after a day, the rifts along with the monsters disappeared.
But that didn't end there as 30 years later, rifts once again started to appear, however, unlike before, they appeared one by one, but at frequent intervals.
But then, unlike before, humanity is prepared, after the catastrophe, a new energy was discovered within the atmosphere having the same characteristics as a fictional energy from stories, thus, the energy was named as "Mana", Mana greatly helped increase the improvement of technology, and 25 years after the catastrophe, a genius named Haruhi Miira created a special armor unit called "Gears", the Gears showed great prowess when the rifts reappeared as it was the only weapon able to fend off against the monsters.
Japan, America, England, Germany, France, China, and Russia, these countries stood and decided to lead humanity, they supported Miira, and various scientists from those 7 countries started working together along with the young genius.
Due to the Rifts, the lands started deteriorating, thus, humanity made a decision, using mana as energy, they took lands that still haven't deteriorated and used devices that allowed the land to separate from the rest of the continent and fly to the sky.
Thus, when the rift started reappearing, Humanity had started to live in the sky.
As Akio studied, he also learned about Mana, he found out that he was able to use it in order to boost his physical abilities and also his recovery speed, after a year of increasing his MP capacity by training with mana, he started training his body, Ayane also joined him.
"Haa...Haa....A-Aniue, W-Wait...." Ayane continued to run trying to catch up to Akio while panting heavily.
"Haa....You can do it, Ayane" Akio said as he looked behind and smiled.
On a distance, a woman can be seen standing, watching over the two of them with a gentle smile on her face, and standing beside her is a maid.
This was Asahiro Minami, the woman who gave birth to the twin, Akio and Ayane's mother.
"They get along quite well, don't they, Madame?" said the maid.
"Yes, I'm glad they do" Minami agreed and giggled with glee.
