Since that strange dream, two days have passed. The good news is that I am not Obito Uchiha. The bad news is that the dream was not just a dream. Another good news is that I got all the rewards from the coupons, but the bad news is that I reincarnated, as the AI said, and now I am a baby.
If I reincarnated, there's only one explanation: I died. Remembering the words of the AI, it seems it's their fault, and this reincarnation, along with the coupons, is a form of compensation.
Fortunately, it seems my family won't have problems for long, since the AI said they would also be rewarded with good luck. But I would like a more detailed explanation of what happened and why I died, considering I was just playing before I died.
I won't deny that I'm somewhat excited about this reincarnation. Who hasn't wished to go back to childhood and do everything again? Of course, if possible, I would prefer to go back to the childhood of my previous life, rather than starting a new one.
Fortunately, one of the rewards I received was "Noble Birth," which means that in this new life, I'm from the elite. I'm just a little worried and excited at the same time.
Among the rewards I received, there are some supernatural powers, which might mean I'm in a world with magic or something like that.
Thanks to "Noble Birth," since my birth two days ago, several maids have been taking care of me. At first, it was strange having to feed from the breasts of a young maid. She is quite beautiful, but it's strange not to have the mother who gave me birth doing this.
Is this normal for the elite?
Another somewhat annoying thing is that I don't understand what everyone says. The language is similar to Chinese, something I never learned in my previous life. I was a bit addicted to Chinese novels and manhua, as well as manga, manhwa, and games, but I didn't get very deep into the language.
So, it's frustrating not to understand what everyone is saying, but I should start understanding soon. I think it's because of the reincarnation, because I feel much smarter than before. I should learn what everyone is saying pretty quickly.
In these two days, besides eating, pooping, and drinking like a normal baby, I spent my time in my spiritual ocean. Other names could be used, like ocean of consciousness, ocean of the mind, mind palace, spiritual world, soul world, among others.
At least, that's what I think. I mean, it's like in many novels I've read.
I don't know how I ended up here, but after sleeping on the first day, I woke up in this spiritual ocean.
It probably refers to the "Bonus" reward mentioned by the AI. I think it's normal, since it said that all my rewards are here. So, without being able to access my spiritual ocean, how would I retrieve the rewards?
That's probably why I was able to access it. Now I can enter the spiritual ocean while sleeping, which is what I'm doing now.
As for the rewards, they are really here.
Thanks to the reward of the Spiritual Field, I don't need to float and can sit on this incredibly soft ground. I won't take it now; it would be strange for the ground to suddenly appear in front of everyone.
Unlike the Spiritual Field, other physical rewards are also here, but there are differences. For example, the Golden Mushroom, unlike other physical rewards, is melting. My spiritual ocean is digesting it.
I find this situation a bit awkward. Even though it's a high/low-level reward, I still remember its effect. I will receive three beneficial actions, but each will have a negative effect.
Preferably, I wouldn't want my spiritual ocean to consume it right now, since the effect is a curse. There should be a way to remove or purify the curse.
However, now that the ocean has started digesting it, if I stop the process, I'll lose this mushroom forever. This is the only high-level reward, so I'm somewhat hopeful that the positive effects will be much stronger than the negative ones, making it worth using.
And even if there are negative effects, there's no reason for despair. There must be ways to heal these effects.
Other spiritual rewards are also being digested by the spiritual ocean.
Among them are:
Sharingan
High-Level Cooking Skill
Good Deeds
Analysis Skill
High-Level Control
Great Talisman Formation
Most of the rewards are in spiritual form.
Among them, the most special one is definitely the "Great Talisman Formation" reward, because only its central part is being digested by the spiritual ocean, the core. The rest of the book remains intact as a physical object.
The "Noble Birth" reward is also special. This is because I can't find it anywhere, probably because it's already been digested, since I was born.
The other rewards should take a little longer to be digested, some faster, like "Good Deeds" and "High-Level Control," which should take just over three days for the first one and seven days for the second.
The other rewards, like Analysis Skill, High-Level Cooking Skill, and Sharingan, should take about 15 to 20 days to be digested.
Finally, the slowest ones are the Great Talisman Formation and the Golden Mushroom. The first is a higher-level reward than the Sharingan, so I'm hopeful. The second is of the highest level, and even with the curse, I'm still quite anxious to see what I'll receive.
It should take about three months for them to be digested by the spiritual ocean.
The other two rewards, "Spiritual Field" and "Bleach Box," are the only physical ones in the spiritual ocean. I'm thinking of several ways to use the first one without having to remove it; it should be quite useful.
As for the second one, I thought it would be a useless reward in this new life of mine, but after thinking it over, I realized it will be extremely useful.
Don't be mistaken, this box has nothing supernatural about it. It's just that the manga is completely in Chinese, so it should be useful for me to learn faster.
Another use I can think of is that if this manga doesn't exist in this world, maybe I could publish it, thus earning some extra income. Not that I think it's necessary, since I'm from the elite, but who knows, maybe I'll need to show off my talents.
To pass the time faster, I spent all my free time trying to read the Bleach manga. My free time is short; most of it is spent sleeping, drinking milk from the maids, and taking care of my needs.
Even though I can access the spiritual ocean while sleeping, being a baby, I still get very tired. So, I can only stay awake for about an hour before sleep knocks me out.
Fortunately, three days passed quickly, and the first reward was digested. When it was digested, I was awake, playing with one of the maids, squeezing her fingers. It was during that moment that I felt an enormous headache. Being a baby, I ended up crying.
Fortunately, during this time, the maids adapted to me very quickly. Whenever I cry, it's because of the milk. Even though this time was different, one of the maids came quickly to feed me. I won't lie, this really helped stop the headache.
I mean, all the maids here are young and beautiful. The ones I don't like, I refuse to drink from. It's like I'm in paradise. Being from the elite is really good.
After the headache passed, I received a set of memories about the "Good Deeds" skill.
"Good Deeds" is not a bad skill. I'm not forced to do good deeds and avoid doing bad ones. By doing a "Good Deed," I will gain a certain amount of positive energy automatically, which I can use for several actions, such as healing and even cleansing negative energy.
This isn't a skill; it's like something natural. Maybe it's considered a divine body, like in cultivation novels?
There are many other actions I can take with positive energy, but some require an absurd amount.
The "Good Deeds" reward has no malice, but I can't say it's perfect, because it takes a long time to accumulate enough positive energy for something.
At least, during my tests, I found an easy way to get positive energy: drinking milk from the maids. That counted as a good deed, and I received a small piece of positive energy.
Maybe this "Good Deed" refers to not complaining. I'm not sure what drinking milk means as a "Good Deed."
I thought that this small piece of positive energy wouldn't amount to much, but incredibly, I felt the effect almost immediately. I felt light and happy, and during the day, I even noticed a change in the maids. They looked at me in a much kinder way than before.
I think positive energy has more benefits than the memory suggested.
Even though the positive energy is low, I tested a basic effect, which worked.
By taking the positive energy into my spiritual sea, it helped accelerate the refinement process. It was just one hour, but that was enough for me.
Even after losing the positive energy, the maids didn't change, but I felt the loss of that energy. Of course, it wasn't too drastic, but I'd prefer to keep the energy in my body since it makes me feel lighter and happier.
Over the next four days, I spent accumulating positive energy. However, instead of speeding up the spiritual ocean's digestion process, I preferred to let it accumulate in my body.
After all, I'm a baby. I don't need to speed up the digestion process.
Also, even if it's minimal, by accumulating it, I helped accelerate the process. With the amount I passively stored, I feel that the digestion capacity of my spiritual ocean increased by two seconds.
I'm confident that soon I'll be able to digest the rewards much faster than I thought.
