I shake my head and look around in confusion. The last thing I remember is sleeping in my bed because I need to get to work. However, now I am on the side of a road with an extra memory that is not my own.

I snap from my thoughts when I feel something vibrate from my pocket. I take it out and see a phone. A phone that I am unfamiliar with. The phone is not locked. Lucky me. I can see a message.

I press it and widen my eyes at what is written in it.

"No way…"

What is inside the message is a notice of me being a member of the company—an agent for a Waifu Catalog journey. I am now working for an Omniverse Slavery Company. I am now Neji Hyuuga, with power over a soul, and I can grow into a literal God of Death.

I remember this. This is one of the couple dozen builds I made in the past, right? I thought it was just a CYOA for fun or some shit. If I knew I would get picked, I would have created a more powerful build! Also, why pick this one instead of the others?! Is this because this is one of the lower ends of the build?

Urgh. At least I have a pocket apartment that is filled with food and drinks for me to enjoy while thinking of a way to get more points.

I look at my build one more time before going to the other apps on the company phone. I click the mission app and see there is one active mission. I press the active mission and see that my mission is to join the formation of 108 Stars of Destiny and replace Eresh or Euram as the Tenfu Star or the Star of Wealth.

I must protect the main character and ensure he stays alive on his journey. Not only that, I also need to make sure all the 108 Stars of Destiny survive the journey.

The reason why I chose this mission is because it will let me get closer to the actual prize. This world is the Suikoden World, created by the 27 True Runes. Those 27 True Runes can be obtained, and anyone with True Rune embedded into their body will have immortality and immense power.

Sun Rune is the rune that I want to get. It is a rune with a power that can destroy a continent in a single attack. Not only that, it also can doom the world if used at full power. It is a rune that embodies the sun, and it gives the user the power of the sun. It can heal and resurrect someone and cause a global drought that will last for hundreds of years.

And that is how powerful the Sun Rune is. I want to get that rune before going to another world when I create this build.

However, to do that, I need to get close to the main character, which is hard. The only thing I can think of is to enter the Sacred Games. It is a tournament to decide who shall be the next husband for the next queen of this country, Falena Queendom.

Yup. I will not be a king because this country has no king. There is only a queen and a Commander of the Queen's Knight. As the name suggests, the Queen is the highest-ranking power in this country.

While the commander position is not as high as the Queen or even some of the nobles, it still carries weight. The Commander is the one leading the army if Falena goes to war, after all. When the war comes, the Commander becomes the second highest authority in the country, as even the highest-ranking nobles cannot overstep the authority of the commander.

I shake my head and take a deep breath. I need to reach the capital city, Sol-Falena, first before I can join the games. That means I need to ask for directions or at least get a map. Lucky for me, I chose Neji as my new body. I am now a Jounin-Level Shinobi who specializes in tracking and close combat.

I look around for a second before jumping toward one of the trees nearby. I take a deep breath and activate my Bloodline Limit.

"Byakugan."

It is weird to see that long from this place. It is also weird to see through a solid object. I shake my head and look around for a few seconds before my eyes catch something. I can see a city in the distance. It is outside of my Byakugan range, but I can still see the wall and build from here.

"Around three kilometers, huh?"

Lucky for me, the body I took over was Neji just before he died. That means it does not reach its peak and can still grow. With the help of the catalog, I can continue to grow at a faster rate. At least I have Soul Talent Perk, which lets me learn any mystical arts I see and encounter. That will help me learn all the techniques I have in my mind that Neji cannot do in the series because he died early.

I shake my head and start to jump from one tree to another.

|3rd POV|

Haud Village is currently busy with activity. With the Sacred Games around the corner, people from around the country want to participate in the competition. Haud Village itself is unique. It is bright and has very unique art plastered across the village.

Even though it is called a village, Haud has a port that connects the biggest port town, Estrise, and the capital city, making this place a very busy place with a relatively high population unfit for the name village.

It also gets worse when the news of the registration of the Sacred Games for the commoner starts in this village. Hundreds of people have already registered for the match that will be happening in Sol-Falena.

Among them is a young man with black hair and featureless eyes.

"Name, age, and origin."

When the young man arrives in front of the staff and writes the name of the contestant, the staff looks up and looks at the young man in pity.

"Neji Hyuuga, eighteen years old, and I am from the Scarlet Moon empire."

"Are you sure you want to join?"

Neji looks at the staff and understands the reason why he looks at him in pity.

"Don't worry. I am not blind. My eyes look like this because of a disease."

"Ah, I see. What is this?"

"A quill."

"This?"

"A gold coin."

"How many of them are in my hand?"

"Seven."

Seeing that Neji can see, the staff nod his head and write his name in the book. After writing Neji's name, he takes out a medallion and says,

"Give a drop of your blood there. Here, you can use this needle."

Neji does not take the needle and use his teeth because he doesn't want any disease to enter his body from the unknown needle. He smears some blood into the medallion and can see it shine for a second.

"Sharp teeth. Anyway, the elimination match will happen in a week in Sol-Falena. Do you want to go with the ship we prepared, or do you want to go there yourself?"

"I will go there myself."

Neji gets money every month from the company, and it changes according to the world he goes to. A dollar equals one hundred Potch and Neji get ten thousand every month. He can live comfortably here as long as he does not waste them.

"Very well. Go to the guards around the capital, and they will show you where you need to go when the match is about to start."

"Right."

"Lastly, what kind of weapon do you want in your match?"

"None. I fight using my body."

"Brawler then."

The staff write it down and say.

"That is all. Make sure to attend the elimination match. If you are late for even a minute, you will be disqualified. The match will start at nine in the morning a week from now on. Remember that."

"I will. Thank you."

"You are welcome, and good luck."
