Chapter 2 - Questions

I question her intentions, why would she want to fight me? But I'll win if I have to!

Though I don't have fighting experience, I was always lazy, I mostly played video games and watched anime; spending all of my time inside. Unless of course, I need to go to the comic shop or buy snacks, but even that stopped once delivery became a thing.

"I'm guessing you don't know my name

either"

I shake my head back and forth, "Nope, no idea at all." my voice is calm but deep down my soul was shivering and telling me to hide under the bed. I may have pee'd a little.

"Whoever you are that possessed my master get out of him!" Her voice sounded intimidating, very different from the way it was before.

She charged me faster than lightning to slash my ribcage. Before the sword makes contact I bring my sword down sloppily to block. The sheer impact sends me flying through the ceiling and I land in a small pond.

As I try to recover, she is already holding me down with her axe ready to come down on me.

"Wait.. Don't kill me, I cant die again this easily" that would be a new record two deaths in one day.

She begins to understand my situation as we go back indoors to speak for a moment. "So you are my master, and you just haven't received your new memories?" I shake my head, "Not exactlyyy..well umm I honestly don't know myself, there weren't instructions on Reincarnation."

And then I realized it , I'm such an idiot! if I had watched those Reincarnation series I would understand what was going on.

"Look, I don't know why I was put in your 'masters' body , but if we find that goddess we can both get our answers." And maybe I'll be able to find a way to escape this hell hole.

She groans in disbelief at the thought of traveling with someone as inexperienced as me. "Hmmph, fine.. I guess we could go into town and-" she sees the door swinging on its hinges and she sighs. "Now where did that idiot run off to? he's gonna get my master killed."

[Outdoors By the small pond]

An anime style adventure! the idea of it of it made my heart tremble with excitement. "That woman said she was my guide, but when she attacked me earlier, she didn't recognize the ability I used."

I look around at the beautiful valley, Wow! this place is amazing! it's way better than where I came from.I sit in a deep trance, as I rack my brain to to recall the goddesses words "What was that power again? Guide?"

Shutting my eyes in an effort to access my abilities, there's a scorching sensation inside my heart , I could only describe this feeling as jumping into a campfire while covered in oil. "I need water!!" I scream as I launch myself into the pond "Help!! I'm on fire!" The pain was beginning to become unbearable , convinincing me that I was on fire but then, my mind goes clear and I hear a robotic voice booming from inside my skull. This one wasn't as distorted as the goddesses and sounded male.

[Guide Activated]

"Ummm.... what the heck was that?"

[I am you....in a sense]

This caused me more confusion, I have a clueless look on my face and begin to drool.

"That's not very helpful!" I yell as I stomp away from the pond. But that voice comes back causing me to jump in surprise.

[I exist to assist you with learning your abilities]

"Then stop scaring me like that idiot!" I could use some help with my abilities , but this voice is really not helping one bit, I can't believe they stuck me with this annoying guide.

[Which ability do you wish to know more about?..]

"How about the guide ability? can you tell me about yourself?"

[Special ability: Guide .... Helps to maximize the usage of your powers and teaches the user about the world]

"And Emulation?" I figured I should ask, considering the Invisibility is self explanatory.

[Special ability: Emulation.... allows the user of this ability to copy any powers used in front of them...within reason of course]

[Please contact me when need presents itself, Good-bye]

Excitement washes over me as I geek out over the many possibilities this power gives me. "Emulation huh? so I'm basically a God?!? well....if I don't die first in the process of learning powers..." I smile nervously ' holy shit I didn't even consider actually dying in this life, I wonder if I'll reincarnate again'

"Hmm-".

The woman's cheery voice interrupts my thoughts, she looks visibly upset , her eyes burning with rage as she stomps towards him, leaving cracks in the ground with each step. "Hey asshole , I was talking to you!!" and before I knew it a handaxe landed next to me in the the dirt and my heart drops.

My head getting chopped off crossed my mind , and panic began to set in and i lost complete control of my breathing "Not her again!! she almost killed me last time, and just when I was getting to the cool part to."

I give in before the battle even begins "W-wait okay , pleasee don't kill me!" she completely disregards me, still charging like a horse. I really did pee this time, there's no doubt about that, "I'll listen to what you have to say!"

She stops in place , walks up to me and slaps me across the face, needles of pain shot into my brain leaving me with a migraine.

"The plan is simple, step one we go to the kingdom, step two we stop at the taverns and visit the fortune teller , step three figure out your 'situation. Any questions?"

I shake my head in approval, but I decide to awkwardly put my hand out, I might as well ask questions, even though guide could just do it. She turns to meet my eyes, and looks through me as if I was a glass door. "Yes?" she sighs , she is about done talking to me and is completely annoyed with me, I shouldn't have ran off on her , she didn't do anything to me...other than trying to kill me twice!

"How far is it?". She slaps her forehead in anger "You're actually an idiot you know that right?". She considers my question for a little while and then closes her eyes before approaching me with an answer.

"50 miles....which I already told you earlier..." she says as she advances towards me and punches me in the chest causing me to fall in the pond again. "Get dried up and then we can go." but isn't she the one who caused this? I can't believe this!

"The truth is, we probably won't make it unless we make some stops along the way, you need experience and I have a great idea".
