Chapter 5: He is an Immortal

"..."

'Where am I'

[Rebooting... ]

[System Online]

[System Fully Functional]

[Ding! Welcome Host]

[The host is required to name the System]

'wha-'

Bryce tried to speak but he can't.

So he just did it in his mind.

'WHAAAAAAAATTTTTT???!!!??!!!??!?! '

He first calmed down after looking at the big floating screen and the voice that accompanied it.

He looks around and saw nothing except for all the sand in the dessert.

He tried moving his arms and legs but only manage to wiggle them.

'Am I crippled? A dream?? Why do I get the feeling that I'm dreaming about being in the "Solo Levelling" manga and I just received my due punishment since I didn't finish my exercise missions?'

"..."

'No, No, No, Even if this is just a dream. I don't want to be chased by those mixed of shrimp and red scorpion like creatures. Definitely No. So what should I do now? '

He moved his eyes. He saw his arms and feet but aside from that, his whole body was coated with light.

Although the light was very comforting, he still noticed something.

'Am I...a... a... FREAKING BABY??!?!?!'

It's not like Bryce has anything against babies but he is alone in a strange place and was already a teen. Who wants to be a baby in this situation?!

He tried remembering what happened and automatically a screen popped up out of nowhere.

[Would the host like to have access to the memories of the host's death? ]

"..."

He stared dumbfounded.

One minute. Two minutes. Five minutes passed.

'What the heck?! I died?!'

[Yes, Host]

[Would the host like to have access to the memories of the host's death? ]

Countless thoughts ran through his head.

He can't remember and that scared him.

'When did I die?! Did I really die?! Hold on, maybe this is a dream? No way, I don't think even with my perfect memory, I could do that. Also my memory can't really be trusted right now since I can't even remember what happened before. I was just planning to go out dressed like a girl (don't judge me and I'm used to it and I'm pretty sure I'm straight) like I usually do to walk around and then nothing... "

After a long time pondering and steeling himself, he planned to answer.

But before he could answer...

[System Error! System Error Detected! ]

[Because of Host Immortality, Host has gained the SSS Unique Skill: True Immortality.]

[Because of the Host's Perfect Affinity with the Dark Mana and Light Mana, Host has gained: Twilight Affinity]

[Because of Host triggering the Reset of a World, the host received the Permanent Title: [Child of The World] and [Ancestor].

[Because the Host has achieved True Immortality. The system will now shut down temporarily]

'WAIT! you're shutting down?!!! '

[The System will shut down for 10 minutes]

'Oh good I thought it would be for a long time'

Bryce released a sigh of relief.

'Wait, mana? Mana?! As in THE "MANA"!!??!!'

'Am I gonna be a mage now?! Hmm Is light and dark affinity even rare!? Twilight affinity, at least that's a first!'

He really got excited but the system still interrupted him.

[Would the host like to have access to the memories?]

"Yes" he regain his calm

[Transferring memories to the host]

[System Shutting Down]

After the System was done announcing. He felt his head hurt. The only time his head hurt like this was when he had a nasty fever and almost went to a hospital.

'I remember'

'But'

'Why??!!!? Did I really just die in one of the typical ways a reincarnator dies?!?! '

Thus, another victim of Truck-san.

'Wait, Reincarnator? reincarnate? Did I... reincarnate? Is that it? '

He kept pondering about it and easily accepted it since this is the closest possibility in addition to that Truck-san just literally killed him.

'But still... '

He couldn't accept his death so easily even if he accepted reincarnating already.

'My parents, My light novels, my manga, my modern and advanced world, technology! '

'At least give me parents!!! Is anyone listening up there?!' He actually felt crying.

A baby with no parents is too sad and there was literally nobody here but miles and miles of sand. Sigh.

He could only wait for the System to start again.

After a while, the System finally finished.

[System Starting]

[System Online]

[Due to the host acquired Immortality...]

[Inventory removed]

[Map Removed]

[Shop Removed]

[Beginner's Package Rem....

...

...

...

...

The list goes on and on.

'It actually degraded?'

'My system degraded?!?!'

From the moment he heard that the Inventory, shop, map and his beginner's package was removed his mind already went blank and was no longer hearing the other things that was removed. He didn't know if he should cry right now or wait for a plot twist from the author.
