Chapter 170: Isekai 101
*Author note*
I really wonder what you will think about this chapter~
*End of Author note*
I am the stupidest person alive! …Well okay, that may be a little bit exaggerated, but I think I am pretty close at least. Oh well, here is the story of why I made such a statement:
One day I was sitting in front of my computer while mastu…*cough* researching something for uhh…work. Right. It was for my job! I definitely had a job! *Cough*…Anyway, there I was, a normal young man minding his own business before I heard loud noises outside of my room and the next thing I know was, that I was getting hit by a truck.
Now, one might ask how it was possible for a truck to hit me in my room, to which I would answer: “Well, my room was on the F*ING 5th floor, so I also would like to know how that was possible!”
At that moment, I didn’t have much time to think about how that truck got there, after all, my innards were turned into mush from the collision and I died only a few seconds later.
In the aftermath of that event, however, it was rather obvious what happened. As an avid reader of all kinds of web novels, I quickly realized that I wasn’t simply hit by your average truck, it was Truck-sama himself that used his incredible power to bring me to another world!
A short while later, or I assumed it was just a short while, I found myself inside a pure white space. And this place was, where I attempted to break the record for the greatest number of stupid mistakes made in a single sentence.
Anyway, the usual happened and some kind of voice told me to choose a world where I want to go to and what kind of cheat I wanted to have. Additionally, I was told something along the lines of “with great power comes great responsibility”, which in this case meant that if I choose something too ridiculous, a lot of f*ed up things will happen to me in return. So, no instant god-like powers for me.
And thus, I stated my wish: “I wish to be reincarnated into the world of Naruto as a member of the Hyuga clan and be at a similar age to Naruto while being supported by a system that helps me get stronger.”
There it is, in all its glory. First of all, I would like to say that I was very nervous when I made this wish and was hit by Truck-sama just a few moments earlier so I think at least a few mistakes could be forgiven. Let us also not forget, that I am not a lawyer and not used to looking for loopholes.
Anyway, let’s take this baby apart and see what is wrong with it. First of all, some people might criticize me for choosing the world of Naruto, which is filled to the brim with all kinds of mindfuckery, but to counteract that, I chose the Hyuga clan with their Byakugan. As for the Uchiha clan…Well, I would rather not get genocided by Itachi, thank you very much. If someone has the confidence to change the Uchiha clan as a toddler then I wish him the best of luck in doing so.
However, this is actually where my first mistake snuck in. A pretty major one at that… I DIDN’T F*ING SPECIFY THAT I WANT TO BE PART OF THE F*ING MAIN FAMILY!!! So yeah, slave seal it is.
The next mistake is actually rather sneaky and I am sure I am not the only one who oversaw it. “Similar age to Naruto”. Similar, not same…I WANTED TO BE IN NARUTO’S CLASS AND HELP HIM IN SCHOOL AND MAKE HIM STRONGER!!! BECOMING FRIENDS WITH THE MAIN CHARACTER IS ALMOST A FREE WIN!!! Well, this in itself wasn’t that bad, since there were other places where I could meet Naruto. Ichiraku Ramen, for example. Truth be told, I had planned to befriend Naruto before the academy even started, but it turns out that the Hyuga branch family has very little actual free time and even if they have some, they aren’t allowed to leave the compound freely. So yeah, no befriending the main character for me.
The third mistake I made, was probably the one I regret the most. “a system that helps me get stronger”. Seriously, just how stupid am I? A voice in the back of my head that only stops screaming when I have done the necessary amount of training could satisfy this wish. Luckily, someone must have taken at least a little bit of pity in me and I have gotten something that at least isn’t worthless. I receive all kinds of quests and as a reward for completing them, I get points which I can exchange for knowledge about jutsus or techniques. Just so there are no misunderstandings here, I get the raw knowledge and still have to actually learn the jutsu or technique I bought. Not great, but certainly better than nothing. So yeah, no “Gamer System” for me.
And then, there is the last mistake. Did you spot it? It is actually kind of hard to spot since instead of saying something too vague like the other ones, it is something I missed doing completely…I DIDN’T SPECIFY MY F*ING GENDER!!!
[DING! Sub Quest: Narrate the story of your reincarnation like you are telling it to an audience: completed!]
[DING! Optional Quest: Air out the complaints you have in regards to your reincarnation: completed!]
[DING! Main Quest: Isekai 101: completed!]
[DING! 1000 points were given as the reward.]
Damn, 1000 points just for retelling what happened to me over the course of my reincarnation. Well, despite not being happy about having to list my mistakes like that, considering how many points I got for the completion of it, it was definitely worth it.
I really want to get my hands on shadow clones as fast as possible, but all those zeros that are attached to the price are giving me a serious headache, so I will go for something else first. Guess I will get some more advanced training methods to strengthen my body and to increase my chakra. Like everyone who has ever read something from the Xianxia genre knows: It’s all about the foundation.
