CHAPTER 10 - Virt

I cudgeled my brain about some possible circumstances that I might face there — I found one. I wanted to use the 4 minutes to query about it.

"Hey, Mr. Spokesman, I have a question, would you mind hearing it out…?"

"Does this offer of reincarnation through an exam applicable to all people who died on earth by assassination? Or is it chosen via certain conditions and requirements?"

"Okay, thank you! Last question—"

"Never mind, okay. I'm ready—"

<—WARNING: Hiroshi Nakamura, I have an urgent news. In 1 minute after I sent the soul of Hirata Nakamura on the other side, his existence suspiciously disappeared in that world… Traces of his life vanished completely… Searching for his existence... Error! Error! Error! Error!"

"W-What…!? What happened to him!? He died…!? Answer me!"

I only heard the shocking news. And since the time limit already came, I was forcefully dispatched to the new world without knowing more about what really happened to Hirata. A tightly constricting and burning sensation struck my whole body. It seemed as though I plunged into a deep body of water leading to the deepest part.

Flashes of light almost blinded me — married with strong pressure in my flank and the rest below — it was more or less a form of torture. In a matter of seconds in my own perception, I felt like traveling in speed of light. Unexpectedly, it suddenly stopped. And afterwards, I could hear the sound of my whole body hitting some huge rock or something. Well, technically, I fell on the ground. I saw nothing but bright light in the milieu. When my ears collected some faint chirps of birds, benign breezes of wind, and a flowing stream in the milieu, I knew I was already in a material world. Nonetheless, I still was not sure where I was exactly. It took me a minute to adjust and adapt. So I fumbled myself and my environ to confirm my location… It appeared like this light illuminating on my face was the sun in this world. In other words, I was lying in the rocky ground under the bare sun.

'What? Whoa, ouch, sharp rocks or something…? Oh, I got to be careful…'

All of a sudden, I heard again another female robot-like voice announcing in my head. It narrated to me all of my arts and skills like a weird rapper in speed. And rather than moving out from this place ill-informed of my own strengths, I tried scanning everything about the said stats. For the whole day, I stood still alloted all my attention in learning everything about me. Overall, reading all personal information took me 3 days more to complete

...….

'Oi, oi, oi, Justinian Nebulanus? You got to be kidding me. Is this my name, now…?! It feels like I've just become an old coot!'

It kind of surprised me to see that my name had changed completely. In totality, I deemed everything in my stats as satisfactory. Though when I looked at the "The Omnibus of Virt" skill, I became curious and checked about it further. It turned out that it was a skill that could keep all my other skills in a bundle, and this was it. It was literally a virtual book and there were three sections on it. Section 1 kept all general information about this world and my personal stats. Section 2 was the holder of all my skills. Lastly, section 3 kept all of my stored items for safekeeping.

'By the way, what does the skill type mean? Mine is multipartite… Tell me about it.'

Multipartite — those who can command four or more skills in one body.>

'So I belong in the last category, huh?'

'Ahem! Thank you for that advice. By the way, who are you…? You've been talking quite a lot. Don't tell me… Are you the spokesperson number 2?'

'Is that so? Then I'd abide by your suggestion. The way you talk, I think I can trust you just a bit.'

As we started talking about miniscule details about all my skills and the list of standards in this world, a violet book suddenly appeared in my mind. It was the imaginary virtual book which is called Virt. This was the effect of my skill. After extensively reading Section 1, I've realized that, indeed, it was safe to never reveal in this world the number of skills I had. Normally, one only had one which was believed to be given by nature upon one's birth.

'Oh, yes. Since I'm not yet familiar with all the descriptions of my skills, what do you suggest?'

'Oh, yes, that's amazing. I think I'd just settle with that. Let me activate it.'

The moment Virt activated the skills, I could sense an odd feeling filling why whole body. Since skills in this world didn't need any form of incantations, activating one was as easy as walking in a park. The moment I extended my hand and pointed it at the think piles of trees, densely hot blue flames immediately devoured the area without mercy. I was surprised by how destructive it was compared to the picture I had in mind when I was still recalling those epic events in the light novels I read. I then understood why having a variety of these skills was really dangerous. Not only for those around but for the user themselves. Overusing such a skill would surely spell out self-harm or self-destruction.

"So, I think it's timely to go and find some settlements…"

"Got it."
