Prologue 1.3

"Ayanokouji Kiyotaka" POV.

Weird.

That's the first word that comes to mind when I think about this entire situation. It's weird.

Thankfully, Hana passed out. It seems to summon me it required a lot of energy, hence her passing out. Lucky I caught her before she fell and put her in bed for good measure.

Now though, I have to try to figure out what happened. The best thing to do would be to recall what happened and list out all anomaly that has taken place. Sitting down on the couch, I recalled all events.

I had been stabbed and killed. As I was dying, that voice kept saying something along the lines of confirmed and acquired. From there I "woke up" to a new world summoned by a Japanese-looking woman.

A frown made its way onto my face. Too much of this situation doesn't make any sense.

First of all, why did I reincarnate? Is it a process that happens to everyone when they die? Or is there a specific pattern that dictates who does and doesn't get reincarnated? Maybe it's random selection? Or...it could be based on some abstract forces that determine who gets reincarnated...Or maybe, it's a sort of system? A systematic interface that, based on some sort of unit or value of

measurement, dictates who gets reincarnated.

This, while being nothing more than an assumption is the best theory I have at the moment. The voice, skills, resistances, magic, the fantasy setting. The numerical value placed on an individual's "existence". And if what saw when looking at master and myself, there are different races other than humans.

Going even further, there is a high possibility that each race or grouping of races has some sort of evolution. If a Saint is the evolution path for humans, what be the evolution path for monsters or demons like myself? A sort of demon lord? Maybe? This will need some further investigation. There is too much guesstimation.

"Saint." That's what Hana is. So she must be strong, but that implies that there are others like her as well. And judging by her skill set, while she is undoubtedly strong, there are still ways to be stronger than her.

Ultimate skills. The highest evolution of skills, which only gives credence to my "systematic

interface" theory.

And after my self-analysis and my analysis of Hana, I can, with absolute confidence say that my unique skill is a powerful tool in my Arsenal. The very act of instantaneous understanding of the opposition with but a mere glance is the best thing I could ask for.

This skill, based on its description, is a personification or crystallization of my mindset. While I doubt the validity of that statement, I'm grateful for this skill nonetheless.Yet, for all of its worth, it's only classified as a Unique skill. This means, by order of evolution, an ultimate skill should dwarf mine massively. And if that person also has more physical strength and experience than me, it would be game over.

Not to mention magic. It's even more unknown than the capabilities of an Ultimate Skill. What unit of energy is required to cast a spell? Do you have some sort of kick starter? Like incantations? Is there a tiering system for magical spells based on destructive capacity, utility, cost of energy, and such?

The most irritating thing about this situation is me. More precisely, my race. It unnerves me. The fact I know "everything" about me.

It's my self-awareness, that is so natural as if I were like this from inception. That's what is

unnerving. The moment the summoning was complete, I knew all about the daemon that was built upon the ideation of the White Rooms masterpiece. I knew everything about the "me" that was built upon the ideation that was "Kiyotaka Ayanokouji".

I knew everything about my racial abilities, the requirements that need to be met to get all my strength, what my "true appearance" looks like. I know that I am currently in a state known as a -manifest phantasm-.

I know as if I had been like this for my entire life. It is honestly, a weird phenomenon. At the very least, I know "me" on the individual level. I know at least my power is quite potent, it's

just that, compared to the upper tiers of this world, I don't know how I stack up.

Name: N/A [ E.P.: 17,501, 926 (heavily suppressed due to sustaining its existence as a manifest phantasm)]

Alias: "Ayanokouji Kiyotaka"

Race: Daemon.

Blessing: [ ].

Title: N/A(current), Masterpiece(previous)

Magic: N/A

Ultimate skill(s): N/A

Unique skill(s): Sha Naqba Imuru(variant)

Extra skill(s): Encyclopedia, Sage.

Common skill(s): N/A

Resistance(s): Resist piercing weapon. Resist melee attack. Cancel pain. Resist temperature. Resist electricity. Magic resistance.

Intrinsic skill(s): Reality marble( [ ] slate). Marble phantasm: Natural(?) Phenomena manipulation. Manifest phantasm. Etc.

Using my unique skill, this is what I get. I know for certain that I have more magical energy than Hana, it is the nature of my race after all. Other than that, I do not know how I stack up against her. Her unique skill, in lamens terms, is the personification of probability manipulation. Similar to my

marble phantasm but not as potent.

If skills like or is only unique, then that would suggest that an ultimate version of those exists. If that is the case, I need to get stronger. Fast. Or else my time here won't be pleasant otherwise. The very fact that I'm here, is a testament to the strength of Hana or "master's" skills ability.

If I had to say, then my marble phantasm would be a good counter for her, if I were basing her on the quality of her skill alone. And I doubt that Hana is that strong in the grand scheme of things. As of right now, other than"me", I have no definite information. Just a bunch of guesses.

The unknown voice, the hypothetical system that actualizes the process of reincarnation, the rules and conventional laws of this world. All of this is something I either don't know or possess. Right now, the only thing I have is an anchor to this world known as Hana Takahashi.

If she and I were to fight, I'd say I would win. Not because she is weak, but,I am that strong. Unfortunately, I can't constantly rely on that aspect during combat.

"Tch." An irritating noise escaped me.

There are too many unknowns, too many mysteries, and inconsistencies. Not enough information and all I have to fall back on are guesstimations.

Sensing that my newly identified "master", however long I will allow it to last. Is waking up, I stood up to go greet her.

The first thing I should do would be to test where I stand on this " food chain". From there, I will acquire a suitable one to help me. After which, I will have to get a body to be a passive existence. By then I should have learned everything I can about this world.

From there, I'll see whether or not I can survive in this world.

Survive, huh. I wonder, would that man be happy about this situation? The decision I have made?

As I pondered this, I wondered how my face looks like right at this moment.

"..."

No, I know exactly how it looks like. Be glad, "father". I'll be finishing what you started.

All for the sake of my survival in this 'alien ' land. So be happy, because the white room will have a completed product by the end of this "opening act".
