[Darkness. That was the first thing Kura perceived.]
He wasn't floating. He wasn't falling. He simply existed in a vast void, absent of light, sound, or feeling. Yet, he was aware—aware that something had changed.
"So this is what dying feels like?"
Before he could dwell on that thought, a blue [SYSTEM MESSAGE] blinked into existence before him.
[WELCOME, REINCARNATOR.]
Congratulations! You have been chosen for reincarnation.
Please proceed with your selections.
Kura blinked. Wait… reincarnation?
A second message appeared.
Step 1: Race Selection
Choose your new race:
Human (Standard start, adaptable, balanced growth) Randomized Race (Spin the wheel! Chance to be anything from a mere wisp to an omnipotent god… but realistically, you'll land somewhere in between.)
[Accept selection?]
"Oh, so it's like a gacha roll." Kura crossed his arms, pondering. Taking the Human route would be safe and predictable, but where was the fun in that? The Randomized Race option, on the other hand…
"Might as well gamble. YOLO—er, wait, I'm already dead."
With a smirk, Kura tapped [Randomized Race]. Instantly, a massive golden roulette wheel materialized in the void, covered in an absurd list of races. Everything from Angel, Devil, and Dragon to Eldritch Horror, Titan, and Wisp was up for grabs.
With a dramatic click, the wheel began to spin.
"C'mon, no trash tier race—"
The wheel slowed down, passing "Omni God" (yeah, right) and crawling toward something mid-tier but powerful.
Then, it clicked into place.
[You have rolled: ???]
"Wait, what the hell is that supposed to mean?!"
Before Kura could question it, another window popped up.
Step 2: Gacha Reward Rolls
You have received:
1 Guaranteed 'Good' Weapon Gacha Ticket 1 Guaranteed 'Overpowered Broken' Ability Gacha Ticket
Another two wheels appeared—one golden and radiant for the weapon, one pulsing with ominous red energy for the ability.
[Spin?]
Kura exhaled. Alright, time to see what my future holds. He reached out—
And with a flick, the wheels began to turn.
End of Chapter 1.
