East Blue, Lugan Island
From the unpleasant feeling of suffocation in his throat, the young man woke up abruptly, reflexively moving his head to the pot, he began to cough, spitting out huge lumps of mucus and black blood clots.
The unpleasant smell of rot and rust made him abruptly remove his head and lie back on the mattress.
His sick and weak body, as well as a sharp pain in his head from new memories, made him lose consciousness again.
Five minutes later, he finally woke up, catching his breath from the pain and digesting his memories. It wasn't his body. The body of the predecessor was named Kuro Miyago. All his life he lived on the island of Lugansk, in a small village with the same name as the island.
Kuro lived alone in this house since childhood, relying on the help of neighbors. He was taught to run a small farming operation in the form of a 1 hectare (10,000 m2) vegetable garden, where he grew vegetables for his own sustenance all year round.
Recently, while helping a neighbor fix the roof during the rain, he eventually caught a cold. After that, he went to bed for three days under the supervision of a local doctor.
His condition was getting worse every day, and he was delirious for most of those three days. It seems that his condition has improved now.
After he realized his position, he examined himself in the mirror opposite his bed.
His toned and developed body quickly lost weight due to the wind. Once wide brown eyes, swollen and reddened. And the color of his tanned skin began to become more pale and sickly.
After relaxing his body and accepting his current position, he decided to think about the rest after the full treatment process.
Suddenly, a tablet appeared in his mind:
Welcome to the cycle of reincarnation, adventurer
We are giving you a chance to fulfill your every wish.
Your main goal is to traverse the hundred worlds of books or become a True creator.
To traverse the World of the book, you must complete a local goal. If the goal is not completed, the current world will not be counted. Unfulfilled tasks cannot be replayed, please take every attempt seriously.
To achieve the status of a True Creator, you will advance along all paths to the last level. Due to the alternative way of achieving strength, you will not be able to develop according to the rules of the world.
Progress between worlds is not preserved
The goal of the current One Piece world is to reach the island of One Piece before the main character. ( There are 365 days left until the beginning of canonical events )
You will be awarded meta points for completing your goals and meeting certain conditions.
Meta-points will allow you to take powerups for all future races
Choose your first path, this path will accompany you for 100 worlds, the rest of the paths you will have to buy for Meta points. To progress along this path, you won't need ingredients and stats, but you still need to digest the potion and perform the promotion ritual.:
The Fool's Way
Error Path
The Door Path
The Sailor's Way
The Reader's Path
…..
Overwhelmed by the amount of information, he quickly began to reread all the information provided. First, his current position. According to the information, sooner or later he would complete the task in a hundred worlds, which meant he would not be under much pressure, which undoubtedly pleased him. The wish that was issued by the system should have been able to bring him back to his home world.
Secondly, judging by the name of the system and the current task, his possible future tasks will always be related to the main plot.
Thirdly, the restriction imposed by the system, which did not allow him to develop with local realities, did not please him, at least in the current world he would always have an acute shortage of brute force.
Fourth, he needs to choose the current path. Based on the names, it was based on the famous work of the Lord of Secrets. There were 22 paths in total, each path was divided into 10 stages. In the beginning, they provided only a small boost, but over time, the powers given to him by the chosen path will increase, many times exceeding human capabilities. The path of a Sailor or an astronomy Enthusiast is perfect for his current situation, but in the future these paths may become useless to him, so they are not able to accompany him to other worlds.
In terms of the variety of abilities, such paths come to the fore as: The Sage (allowing him to invent abilities based on legends and legends known to him), the White Tower (The ability to replicate or recreate abilities he understands), the Hanged Man (Absorbing souls to increase his abilities, as well as controlling the flesh to increase his own survival rate), The Mistake (Cloning, Parasitism, Stealing other people's abilities and other things), Door (Teleportation, space control, as well as copying other people's abilities), Fool (Disguise, Control of other people, High survival rate), The Dreamer (Mind Control), the Cycle of Inevitability (Control of fate, obtaining powers from otherworldly beings).
The list of useful ways for him was considerable. Most of them would give him a lot of freedom of action, but almost every one of them lacks survivability. The physical strength level of current humans, as well as other possible worlds, will always exceed the early stages of the paths given to him by the system, which means he cannot fight directly. Stealthy tactics are best supported by the Fool and the Dreamer. But the mind control given by the Seer is not as reliable as the puppets of the Fool's Path. Also, unlike the Seer's invisibility, the disguise that the Faceless One will give will be stronger, which can save his life more than once.
Having made his choice, he pointed his finger at the Fool's Path.
Congratulations on choosing the path.
Choose an initial bonus for the race:
Development (You will be able to develop your powers and body in accordance with the current world, the potential of your body will be: Ordinary)
Abandoning the Ritual (You can opt out of one movement ritual)
Additional temporary path (You can choose a path that you do not have, this path is only available for this race)
Half Digested (All your potions are already half digested)
Then his finger hovered in the air for a long time. This choice will directly affect his future plan, which means that you need to think carefully about everything.
To begin with, he had to assume that the limit of the current world was a 3-sequence, which means that if he gets to this sequence, he will already be able to have sufficient strength to achieve his main goal. Future rituals will become a problem, the ritual of killing a demigod, advancing to 4 sequences is still acceptable, but the ritual of disappearing for 300 years is almost impossible in its time frame. So the second option will be a good help.
The alternative is development, if he gets the ability to develop his body and will, then in his opinion, he will be able to develop like Helmeppo or Kobi. In better versions, he will even be able to learn the will of armament and surveillance, given a one-year head start.
After hesitating, he finally chose to abandon the Ritual. At the very least, he will be able to give up killing a demigod in order to represent a strong combat unit, at best, he will give up 300 years of disappearance and then he will be able to directly conflict with the Yonko. The development of a body with such low potential is poorly realized, it simply does not have enough time to catch up with the main characters.
We wish you good luck in your first race!

After reviewing the current tasks, his eye twitched nervously. If he has assessed everything correctly, it is impossible for him to achieve them. To complete them, he will have to calculate everything too far in advance and at the same time have great luck.
After resting for a while, he began to get acquainted with the forces that had appeared.
Firstly, his memory has improved, although his current memory is not photographic, but it is not difficult for him to recall any details up to two months ago. Secondly, spirituality appeared in his body, the main resource for divination and activation of spiritual vision. Thirdly, his divination will have real power, it remains only to remember or learn by the method of this very divination.
His physical strength did not improve, but his health became much better at the moment. He felt that the headache had passed, and the trembling, fever, weakness, and other symptoms had left only a faint trace. He began to feel much more comfortable, except for the smell of his body, wet sticky clothes, and the house that smelled of illness.
- I'm awake. - the doctor who just entered noted.
The doctor was a man in his fifties, with gray hair and a slight stubble. His name was Sage. He took care of Kuro almost all this time, and also helped him as a child.
In Miyago's memory, Sage was essentially an herbalist. He almost never performed surgery, and he treated almost all illnesses or injuries with herbs or special ointments.
- How are you feeling? - putting the herbs on the table, he began to quickly check my condition
"Much better, Uncle Sage. I replied in a grateful tone, noting that he was really worried about my condition.
After fully checking my condition, he gave me instructions on herbs. He crushed some of them, then fed them, set others on fire, and covered my body with some, replacing the old ones.
The doctor himself quickly left the house, only to return with a bowl of soup, which he handed to me and ordered me to eat. There were pieces of onions, carrots and potatoes floating in the plate, as well as a chicken leg, which was probably alive yesterday.
Slowly eating my soup, I began to make plans for the future.
