My name's Ethan, after graduating from college, I'm officially a software engineer! But guess what? I'm not just about coding - I'm also a part-time gamer and otaku! and suddenly, ONE DAY I find myself meeting God. Yeah, you heard that right! I'm facing the big G!
「Reincarnate to a different world? 」
I asked a little surprised cause it is not every time you meet god and get told that you are going to be reincarnated
「No, it's Transmigration. you will be transmigrated to the world of Aetheria 」
「Transmigration? I thought that I died. 」
I clearly remember a bolt of lightning fell on my head and being taken to the hospital where I died
「That's right. Therefore, I'm going to revive you in the world of aetheria.」
「Er, my body is …」
My body started glowing super brightly
「Your body is being modified to incorporate mana you will need it if you want to survive in the world of Aetheria.」
[ Mana like as in fantasy novels and anime using which we can cast spells and do magic ]
「Yes you are correct my boy its exactly as you think」
「Are there going to be Beastkin, demihumans, and elves in that world」
I can already imagine adorable girls with delicate cat ears, enchanting beast girls with luxuriant, fluffy tails, and stunning Elven maidens with elegantly elongated ears.
「....Awesome! Thanks」
I think I'm practically drooling already!
「No need to thank me. After all, it was my fault that you died in the first place」
yes there is no way a lightning bold will suddenly fall on your head on a clear night
「 Leaving that aside is there something I have to do something there?」
「?????」
「You know like defeat the demon lord or save the world from destruction」
「No, live there. enjoy your second life.」
「Is that so?」
「... Do you have any complaints?」
「No.」
What complaints can I have when I am getting transmigrated into a fantasy
「How obedient. But… are you fine with it?」
「"Yes. After all, it has always been a wish to get transmigrated to fantasy world and explore the cat gi—I mean, world 」
「Is that so? So I will grant you a system that will help you to increase your strength and 3 abilities of your choice 」
「Abilities?」
「Umu. For instance….I can give you special skills」
I felt like I had been waiting my entire life to be asked that question it was a very important moment that could decide my fate so I overworked every cell in by brain to find the best skills
「Then, the skills I will want are beast tamer, soul binding, and Crafting skill 」
Soulbinding In essence, it is like necromancy, but in it, not only can you summon undead minions, but you can also communicate with the spirits of dead people if they are around, and can even resurrect them not as mindless minions, but as a person with a personality and its own thinking, but they will always be loyal to you.
「Soulbinding ??.」
「Yes a skill to interact with spirits and revive dead people to make them my subordinate 」
「This skill is quite precarious I need to call another god who has domain over life and death」
While waiting, the God in front of me took out something like an old cell phone and started to speak with someone.
I can hear the words but I completely don't know the meaning.
Is the language different?
It seems that the one he's talking to is very excited.
「I kept you waiting. I can grant you that wish but you will be soul-bound to the world of Aetheria means you cannot leave that world and even if you die will just be reborn in the same world with your memories and abilities and it will go on for eternity even if that world gets destroyed you will still exist in it may not seem that bad of a condition to you but the passage of time can drive one crazy do you still want it ?? .」
It does not sound so bad plus living for eternity will be kinda cool but I still have one question
「Will I keep dying of old age」
「No you will only die if you are killed」
「I will take it then .」
「Here you go now you will be able to tame the beast and take and resurrect spirits. I hope you don't regret your decision」
While saying that he Touches my head with his staff
「And What was your third skill」
「Crafting skill as in which I only need to provide material For the things I want and they will be crafted.」
「U-umu. I understand. Then, here you go".」
He touches my forehead with his staff again
「Thank you.」
「Is there anything else you want」
「Eh? But…」
「Just say it.」
「Uh… Let's see. Oh, that's right. Please make sure that I'll be able to speak the language of the world I'm going to.」
「The vicinity is safe. You'll be able to speak with basic human beings. It's a kind of beginner's pack.」
「Ye-yeah.」
「... Now it's time to move on. Are you ready?」
「It's okay. Thank you for everything.」
「Umu then stays healthy.」
While I was listening to those words, I felt like my body was melting.
And when I noticed, I was in the forest.
…..
Body check.
My body… moves freely and too freely actually.
There is no pain no arm or leg missing and I am still a human I wonder if my eye or colour has changed I will check it later.
It is a healthy body and I have moderate muscles.
Although there is no mirror, I know that I became younger from my hands and feet.
The early twenties?
No, late teens?
Anyway, there is no problem.
Clothes ... I am wearing clothes I'm a little familiar with.
I am wearing a jacket a shirt and a pants
Underwear is… a trunk bound by a string.
well it's better than nothing
I wonder if this is one of the beginner's packs that God talked about.
it looks kinda cool
Thank you, God.
Speaking of which, I have not heard of God's name.
I don't know who to pray to.
Well, the feeling of gratitude is what's important.
Now.
I stand up and look around.
It's a forest.
Even if I look at the front or back, all I see is a forest.
Even if I look to the left or right, all I see is a forest.
