*Cring Cring
As the sun rises, an alarm clock rings in 6 o'clock, waking up the man that hiding in his blanket. Slowly reaching his right hand to off the clock with matching yawning before getting up from his bed. Scratching his belly as he goes to the kitchen to make his own breakfast thinking what to do today.
He doesn't have a work now for 5 years after resigning from his job as an office staff, feeling bored all those years, he got enough and so ended up doing some online typing jobs and selling crafts from some games to set off his expenses all these years.
Fun. A thing that this man prioritize in his whole life to get. Feeling that he is out of place and out of time in this Earth, again and again.
Yes, again and again. Because he is a person that reincarnated thrice, and died after reaching his 30th birthday for three times. His first death was getting a terminal illness, Muscular Dystrophy. His second death was being hit by a stray bullet in the head, not knowing where it came from as he just got out from the exit of the mall. His third death was being hit by a six wheeler truck that got out of control because of stumbling from a deep circular ditch in the road, before smacking his body onto the wall.
Now, he is sighing for thinking how he will die today, November 30, 2021.
'I'm really sure now that I'm celebrating my own birth day and death day at the same time.' He thought as he sighs again before shivering. Shivering for his body's instinct that knowing he will die today, because he is already a believer of Ian Fleming, "Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action."
'The 'enemy' confronts his enemy while misfiring at me. But they are 'Gods' for that fact and me, the only mortal...' He sarcastically said in his mind. He doesn't fear death, only his body, not his mind. Thinking that this is the effect of being killed thrice instantly before the pain was transmitted into his consciousness.
'I won't die thrice and reincarnate thrice without Gods' crafts... And so, what craft will kill me this time?' He already gave up. If he died today and reincarnated again, his conclusion for being born is a curse. Loop? Maybe.
After washing his dishes, he went to the bathroom and stares at the man in the mirror. 'Your bath today is like washing your neck clean... Maybe you're a man with a million negative karma before being born as Cydrix Jaina and the 30th day of November was your arrival day in Hell but that place wasn't enough for you, and decided to curse you in reality...' After blubbering like this to himself, he was stunned before laughing maniacally as he thinks that maybe this will happen for 30 times too.
But he suddenly stops laughing and stared again at the mirror before smiling with disdain to himself... Or to his system that's it.

'What's the use of you if I'll die again?' He asks the system calmly in his mind but didn't got a reply from it.
A dead system. He got this thing from his first reincarnation. Feeling that it was his time for power, wealth, fame and likes. From 3 year old body to 30th birthday, everything in his life is simplified, knowing when the skills will upgrade and what was exactly his status, everything is easy. But in the end, he didn't expected that he will still die from a stray bullet.
Waking up fearfully on his bed, he touches his head and whole body hurriedly. Checking for injuries before sighing in relief as he gasps for the air, thinking that it was only a nightmare. But he got to know that he was wrong, because he reincarnated in his 7 year old body.
Living for 11 years after knowing that this is his 3rd life, his second cheat activated. And that was freely traversing back and forth from a water world, known as Raft, a game world where you need to survive with a single hook and a single 2x2 raft, and to Earth. Without the System of the Raft Game itself, just an ability to go to the Raft World, as simple as that.
Two cheats in a single life. Who doesn't want that?
And of course, he excitedly and energetically cheated his survival in the Raft World bringing back essential things from Earth, and essential skills from the Raft. Unfortunately, his system is just a simple system, like as said. A dead system, that just notifying him everything he does with only his status and skills window, nothing more. But fortunately, it still work even in the Raft World.
With the first cheat, he got marine and survival skills for this third life.
As years goes by, it was his 30th birthday, again. Only, maybe, because he got a girlfriend in this lifetime. He excitedly went back to Earth and bought groceries and likes, without forgetting buying a box of condom, but forgetting that this is his death day too. After all, living for the third time, any one will suspect something and will try to comprehend what happened from the past lives.
After he bought things from the convenience store, he hurriedly walks back home but his phone rang. Making him tries to reach into his pocket but forgetting that his hands was full of baggage and so he putted down what was on his right hand and pulls out the smartphone from his pocket.
At the same time, he heard a loud horn. Making him looked at his left side, only to see the very front of a six wheeler truck on his very face that made his body got goosebumps, waking him up from his stupor.
Fear envelops his whole body and mind, forgetting his survival skills from the Raft World. The response reflexes that a survivalist that should have, seems have gone like a popped bubbles.
He panics as he opens the portal to the Raft World.
However, opening a portal still need some time, the only flaw of this second cheat.
And, there's no more for this third life.
Next.
The fourth and this current life welcomed him again.
But got tired of reincarnating again and again and again. Tired for how stupid he was after realizing how weak his mind again and again.
Waking up on his bed, went calmly towards the bathroom and stared at the man as if looking at the dead man. "So... What now, Cydrix?... What will you do this time?"

[Mental Strength increases by 1 point, Mental Strength: 32]
"..." Cydrix closed his eyes for a couple of minutes, sorting his thoughts before opening his eyes. With a decision of ignoring all of his cheats and live normally. Praying, wishing, that this time, Gods will get bored of him and stops playing his life.
Reincarnated into his 18 year old body and as an orphan all of his life, he decided to live normally, a mediocre, a mob in a billion people of this Earth.
Without expecting anything, ignoring his cheats, even turning off the notifications from the system. He lives normally with lack of interest to live happily, and so, he aimed for getting some fun instead but that isn't interesting for the Gods or things that his life or soul attracted with in the first place.
'Or whatever it is, as long as they leave me alone. Just made me pass through normally in my 30th birth day, everything will be fine.' He continued inside his mind.
His third cheat? He still doesn't know about it and didn't want to know about it. It wasn't activated yet for 12 years and he is still cursing it not to appear in this lifetime.
After taking a bath, he carefully drinks his water, slowly. After all, today is the day he will die.
Choking on drinking water is painful. Even though its not instantaneous like the other deaths, he still don't want to gamble.
Carefully washing the glass then put it in the glass drawer, check every sockets that might cause to start a fire, searching for sharp things that might fly towards his head later.
After doing this for one hour, he finally, carefully, slowly, comfortably sits on his gaming chair and started to on his computer to play some game first before doing some online jobs.
Almost one hour of silence, except from the sound of key pads tapping, Cydrix smiles as he stretches his arms after the game match, in his side as the winner.
*Ding
However, his body petrified after hearing the notification sound, he thought it was his system but it was from the computer which made him sigh in relief. He started to read what this pop-up window about.
[Congratulations! You were selected as one of the Beta Test Players of our Future's Desire Inc.'s game, 'The Deity's Guide'.

'What's this... I got a virus?' He thought as he massages his chin. He tilts head and tries to remember anything about the company and the game. 4 seconds are enough to make himself belief that he didn't pre-registered any game with the same name.
[3 Seconds]
He shrugs his shoulder and decided what to do. 'Welp, I got a bad luck if this is a virus.' Then controls the mouse to aim at the option before clicking.
*Click
He accepted the game to be download and another window pop-ups notifying him about the client.
'Huh?' But he felt something happened at the same time.
Something feels off.
He stops moving, tries to hears anything out of place, seconds later he got up slowly and peek from the closed curtains to see the situation outside.
But there's nothing. 'Nothing seems out of place...' He thought while decided to check everything again inside this apartment. After all today is his death day.
After half an hour, he sat back with confusion then looks left and right again, even the ceiling and below his chair was check again and again but still nothing.
He sighs, massages his eyes then his whole face, contemplating to turn on the notification of his system again or check his current status. However, he controls himself to stop doing it, decided to ignore this feeling and choose to pass the day first normally.
Praying that nothing will happen this time, 'Please...' His final thoughts before doing his online jobs.
What Cydrix didn't know, that his feeling was right!
From his back, a woman appeared out of no where, wearing a white long sleeve polo shirt that is tucked in, in a green below the knee skirt, white high heels, a simple green framed glasses while her waist length hair is pony tailed on her left side head and lastly, a badge with letter 'L' in the center that made of twisted vines with thorns and little flowers on two ends of the letter, that is clipped on her right collar.
If Cydrix or any one else saw this woman, they will be charmed but won't remember anything about her face. For she is a Goddess, with God Aura protecting her body.
She is staring at the gaming chair, only, Cydrix, wasn't there anymore.
"Who!?" She asked simply in a low voice but in a cold tone. She is mad, but without forgetting her bearings as a Goddess.
She knows that Cydrix, her entertainer is not in this universe, anymore...
