Chereads / Lord of the Time: I Can Reincarnate Infinitely / Chapter 13 - 13: Save Progress

Chapter 13 - 13: Save Progress

Caleb woke up again, in an incomprehensible world where power didn't seem to exist. Or so he thought. He was happy about his reincarnation because of how rich they were! His father is a wealthy merchant who owns twelve businesses involving different industries.

What is worth mentioning, Caleb can feel Taboo energy in his veins. The same intensity a grade 1 would have. The bad news is, he can't feel Taboo energy in the air. He even activated his first ability as a gamble, the one that made his sensitivity to Taboo energy soar and even killed him in the previous world. But the energy was nowhere to be found. As if it didn't exist.

Still, Caleb was happy with his discovery and decided to name the time slime function he discovered as "Automatic Save Progress" just like how it was in video games.

However, before Caleb could even enjoy his privilege. An evil deity descended from the sky and wiped out the clan. With a flick of his finger, fire swallowed the whole territory, reducing everyone within it to ashes, including the unlucky Caleb.

Caleb couldn't escape and was once again taken into the depths of the river of time by the time slime and wandered for thousands of years.

...

Woke up again and became a two-year-old body. The youngest vessel that he had gotten by far. The only son of the general of an army. Such a background made Caleb feel safe. He was confident of not dying prematurely anymore. The general allocated twenty soldiers to guard him alone, which reassured him even more. Once again, Taboo energy doesn't exist. But he can still feel the Taboo energy in his veins and the strength it gave him.

Now, he can confidently say that Automatic Save Progress really saved his previous progress! If he wasn't sure at the first time. When it happens the second time, it's not a coincidence anymore... But a fact! That means he didn't have to start to scratch all over again every time he reincarnates! For example, if he becomes a martial god in some martial arts world, his progress won't disappear after he dies and reincarnates again. He would carry it with him!

He has a lot of pets, not just ordinary pets, but they are tamed beast! The world he reincarnated in. People can tame the beast, train them, and fight others. The world was dominated by Imperial Beast Masters and they had a high status comparable to celebrities from Earth.

The family of the general was quite powerful in the country. It was absolutely impossible for outsiders to hurt him. Plus, with his grade 1 Taboo energy, he has the power equivalent to two adult men! He can also use the Taboo energy inside him to selectively enhance body parts like a fist or his foot to boost his attacks. Seems not much... However, at least he didn't need to worry about dying from mundane things again, like a helpless child!

With his strength, if some goons like Mordred or Mir dare to attack him. He would beat them to the floor until their mother couldn't recognize them.

This time, Caleb learned his lesson. So he must survive! Half a year later, a golem, the most powerful tamed beast from the army, went berserk, attacking everything around him unscrupulously. It killed half of the number of soldiers guarding him. Caleb died aggrieved from the powerful golem's mighty fist. His strength comparable to two adults wasn't enough to protect him.

His supposedly powerful protection was what killed him this time. The soldiers that were supposed to guard him couldn't even fight the golem with their tamed beast.

...

Caleb regained consciousness. 'Who can tell me? Why do I die prematurely every time? Why can't I get past 18 years old!?'

This time, he was an eight-year-old girl, and he was reincarnated as a young medical assistant in the army in what seems to be a medieval age. Yeah, an eight-year-old providing timely assistance to medical doctors in the middle of the war. With the strength and agility provided by his status as a grade 1 Taboo fighter, Caleb managed to survive for five years before a bullet pierced his forehead on one fateful day.

Although he was already a grade 1, he was far from grade 3 or 4 and could resist bullets using their skin alone.

As for becoming a little girl, he didn't feel anything. As long as he lived, it was worth it. Of course, he still preferred to get reincarnated in his original gender.

...

Caleb came to the world of cultivation. Woke up in a carriage full of cultivators with realms ranging from Foundation Establishment and Golden Core. Encountered a terrifying beast of the Nascent Soul Realm on the road, and the carriage was wiped out.

...

Reincarnated in the world of sword and magic, there are seven heroes summoned, destined to kill the demon lord. The seven heroes came from Earth, but not the same Earth Caleb knew.

After turning 17 years old, Caleb thought he would finally become an adult. As a result, a beast tide composed of goblins, orcs, and centaurs invaded the city. Thousands died, including him.

...

The pre-historic world got toppled under a dinosaur's claws... Twelve years old...

...

Woke up in a modern world. War broke out, and a grenade fell in front of him and exploded. Of course, Caleb managed to survive, but with severe injuries. However, an atomic bomb fell from the sky and wiped out everything on its path.

...

After experiencing many worlds and suffering various diverse methods of death. Caleb felt that he was qualified to win a Guinness record for the number of deaths in different ways. He realized how fragile human life was and how cruel it was to children. Of course, theoretically speaking, Caleb was already a million years old after constant slumber in the river of time.

He discovered that he could actually enter the time slime using his consciousness. And there, he discovered that the interval of time between his previous reincarnation to the most recent has an interval of two hundred thousand years. While others have an interval of millions of years.

Caleb can already be considered a pre-historic bastard. Older than even ancient vampires and dinosaurs. Older than even Adam and Eve! Of course, most of those times were spent sleeping and wandering the river of time, not actually living. So yeah, even though he was so damn old, he didn't have much experience to back it up, which was quite ironic.

'In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years,' Caleb muttered. His eyes contained profound clarity.
