CHAPTER 1: The Administrator Proposal
[NAME: RAKU… AGE: 32… MAIN CHARACTERISTIC: ALWAYS HORNY… STATUS: VIRGIN… DIE METHOD: FRONTAL IMPACT BY TRUCK… BEEP…]
[CONGRATULATIONS, BEEP… YOU HAVE MET THE CRITERIA TO BE REINCARNATED AGAIN AT ANOTHER WORLD JUST LIKE THE OTHER MAIN CHARACTER… BEEP…]
A blue screen appeared out of nowhere showing a status window like in a video game.
"Where am I? Who are you? My head hurts… What? Whoa! Why am I flying in the sky? Where's my bicycle, I'm late for the office meeting!"
[YOU ARE DEAD… BEEP… YOU ARE NOW IN A CONFINED SPACE BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH…]
[I AM A SYSTEM KNOWN AS THE ADMINISTRATOR…NOW CHOOSE YOUR STATS… YOU WILL BE REINCARNATED IN A FANTASY WORLD OF HAREM… BEEP… AND YOU WILL ACQUIRE SUPER STATS TO FIGHT WITH DRAGONS… BEEP… BEEP…]
Raku was so confused about what happened to him, but he's dead now. It all happened 15 minutes earlier…
***
"Where is it! Where did I drop that?"
Raku seems to be searching for something, he's going up and down and looking everywhere.
"Where did I put that USB… God, that precious USB… Did I leave it on the office laptop? Great! I think I've swapped my project presentation report with my personal USB and I left it mounted on the laptop. Big mistake, B-I-G MISTAKE… They're gonna use the laptop for this morning briefing and present my project to the newcomer as an example! But what was inside the USB was full of my porn files, CCTV records that I haven't looked at yet and Luna photos that I've been secretly keeping."
And that was the reason Raku was actually losing his mind. He tried to call Luna, his office colleague but she didn't answer. Without further ado, he rushed to his motorcycle to start the engine frantically but luck was never at his side, the motorcycle was out of gas. He forgot to refill it last night… He panicked, time was ticking like a time bomb. Any moment now his biggest secret will be displayed in front of all the office staff that he kept his reputation strong all over the years.
"Aya! I borrowed your bicycle today, you'll go to school by bus!"
Raku shouted to his little sister while grabbing the girl's bicycle and pedal it rapidly using all his morning energy.
"Huff… Huff… 8.45am?! Damn it, why are times moving so fast when you're in a panic state?"
Right now a middle aged guy with a full office suit riding a pink girly bike in the middle of streets really grabs everyone's attention. But that does not distract him, he keeps pedaling even though he is drenched with his own sweat. His dignity was at stake, even if it cost him his life.
Only 5km more, up the mountain pass and he'll reach his office. But as mentioned before, it did cost him his life… When Raku pedaled hard climbing the mountain pass, suddenly the environment became noiseless, time moved in slow motion and white light gradually cloaked his sight.
***
Present time.
[PLEASE CHOOSE ANY OVERPOWERED STATS YOU WANT TO POSSESS… BEEP…]
"I… Died? How?"
He's in the middle of the air. A flock of birds flew down to him and he tried to evade them but the birds actually flew through his body and penetrated him without physical contact.
[YOU ARE DEAD… LOOK DOWN THERE… BEEP… A TRUCK HIT YOU WHILE GOING DOWN A MOUNTAIN… THE TRUCK DRIVER DIDN'T NOTICE HE HIT YOU… BEEP… LOOK AT YOUR BODY… HANGING ON THE TREE IN THE MIDDLE OF THICK FOREST… BEEP…]
Raku and the bicycle were sent flying from the impact and dropped on top of a tree. Raku was in shock seeing his corpse without limbs hanging upside down from a tree.
[NOW… PLEASE MAKE YOUR CHOICE…]
"This is absurd! I need to live, please bring me back to life… Please! If they find out what's inside the USB it'll be worse than death."
[YOU ARE DEAD… ACCEPT IT… BEEP… BUT YOU ARE CHOSEN TO BE REINCARNATED AGAIN… BEEP]
"In this state I don't want to be reincarnated yet, I want a second chance to live! Even for one hour… Please, I really need that… I wanted to fix things."
Raku was crying desperately thinking about the consequences of someone looking inside the USB. He believes his death is pointless when everyone finds out about his secret, they will hate him and will not mourn for his death. He will be cursed by everyone as a dirty scumbag for eternity, by his family and by his crush, Luna herself.
[EVEN IF YOU ARE GIVEN A CHANCE TO LIVE… BEEP… YOU CLEARLY SEE YOU CORPSE CONDITIONS… BEEP… YOUR BODY WAS SEPARATED FROM YOUR LIMBS… BEEP… BEEP…]
[WHY WOULD I WASTE TIME EXPLAINING THE IMPOSSIBLE… BEEP… ACCEPT THE CHANCE TO BE REINCARNATED AGAIN… BEEP… FORGET YOUR EXISTING WORLD… THE WORLD OF HAREM WAITING FOR YOU… LOTS OF BEAUTIFUL GIRLS WAITING TO GET LAID BY A HERO LIKE YOU… BEEP… BEEP… LET YOUR HORNY SIDE RUNNING WILD IN FANTASY… BEEP… BIG BOOBS GIRL… SLUTTY VIRGIN GIRL ONLY TO BE FUCKED BY YOU… BEEP… FEMALE DRAGON… YOU NAME IT… YOUR PRIZE… BEEP… BEEP…]
"I want to live… I want to fix things… I don't want to die and be reincarnated with lots of regret.. Tsk.."
Surprisingly, the offer to be reincarnated again does not attract RAKU interests. He keeps repeating that he wants to fix his mistake.
"I can't face Luna in heaven… What's the point…"
[THERE IS A CONDITION… BEEP… ONLY FOR THOSE WHO MET THE CRITERIA… BEEP… HE/SHE CAN ROAM THEIR WORLD FOR SOME TIME TO VISIT PEOPLE AS A WANDERING GHOST… BEEP…]
[THE PURPOSE OF HIM/HER TO VISIT THEIR FAMILY… FRIENDS… OR SOMEONE THEY KNEW… BEEP… WAS FOR THE DEAD TO MOURN TOGETHER WITH THEM AND FELT THEIR SORROW OF LOSING YOU… BEEP… BUT THERE IS A CATCH..BEEP…]
"What's the condition?"
[YOU WILL GO STRAIGHT TO AFTERLIFE… BEEP… AFTER THE MOURNING CEREMONY IS DONE… BEEP… YOU WILL LOSE THE CHANCE TO BE REINCARNATE AGAIN… BEEP…]
"Now I'm dead, my body and limbs were separated… That driver too didn't realize that he hit me, so my death is still unknown and my corpse is in the thick forest and it will take some time for my family to notice that I'm missing." Raku stopped crying and his eyes now brimming with possibilities. "So, do I meet those criteria? To be the wandering ghost?"
[YES… YOUR CONDITIONS MET THOSE CRITERIA PERFECTLY… AGED MORE THAN 30's… VIRGIN… AND HAVE MORE THAN THREE PEOPLE WHO WOULD BE SORROWFUL FOR YOUR LOSS… BEEP…]
"Someone who would cry for me? Must be mom and Aya, but who's another person?"
[THE INFORMATION IS CONFIDENTIAL BEEP… YOU HAVE TO KNOW IT YOURSELF AT THE MOURN… BEEP…]
"Whoa, at the mourn? But I want to be reincarnated again after I retrieve the USB. I'm curious about who that person was but when The Administrator said I will only find it at the mourn, my chance to be reincarnated again will closed and I had to go to the afterlife… Tough choice, but I need to do what is important first."
[SOME CHANCE ARE MADE FOR THE TOUGHEST CHOICE… LIFE IS NOT ALWAYS FAIR… BEEP…]
"I've made my choice, there's still time before my mourning. Turn me into a wandering ghost now, I want to fix everything and reincarnate without regrets."
[PERMISSION GRANTED… YOU WILL LIVE AS A WANDERING GHOST UNTIL OR BEFORE YOUR MOURNING… BEEP… YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR MIND TO BE REINCARNATED AGAIN ANYTIME BUT STRICTLY ONLY BEFORE THE MOURN CEREMONY… BEEP… BEEP… GOOD LUCK… BEEP… BEEP…..]
