Beno's POV

Marco you liar!!! Didn't you said that if we are dying we are dying together! DAMN IT!

I was running towards Marco's home. The inauguration ceremony isn't important to me... Marco is. He is my last friend, the last support that I have except for my mom. I was running as fast as I can to head towards Marco's house. I saw smoke in the direction of Marco's house but I am not willing to believe that it came from his house. It definitely isn't.... its just another house in the direction on fire... its definitely not Marco's

---

I can't believe the scene in front of my eyes... Marco's house... it can't be... 

" MARCO!" I yelled as I tried to go closer to the burning house. His room should be on the right side... maybe I can save him from there.

" MARCO RESPOND PLEASE!" I continue to yell hoping to get some response. Why aren't the firefighters here yet!

After I reached the window of his room, I knelt down in despair. His room is completely burning...

Marco... I am alone now...

Minutes later the fire department arrive and began to put out the fire... After the fire is put out, they went in and check if there are people in there. First, they found what seems like 3 sets of dolls in the dining room, it's at the most behind of the house so the damaged cause is not the worst. Then as they search towards the middle part of the house, everything gets more burned. Then they took out what seems to be a body... except it's so burned there's definitely no way the guy is still alive... Marco is dead.

Today is suppose to be one of the happy days for all of us... we are officially graduating... but I'm the only one left that graduates...

Haha....

I walked home silently... Why wont this end for me... Why am I here... Just to suffer...

---

This would be the afterlife right?

" Correct human, this is the afterlife. Please make 3 wishes for the skills you wish to have in the Astrea after your reincarnation. Technological skills such as railguns are not allowed." a monotone voice said.

I am sure that if Peter is there he would have developed railguns already...

" Why am I first... why couldn't Beno be the one who comes first... He is suffering so much that it hurts to even look at him. " I asked the voice

" Input unrecognized, if you have any more questions please wait for 15 minutes for the God in charge of reincarnation to come." replied the monotone voice.

Automated response huh... Fine

First I want a cat beastkin body that is able to use body strengthening magic and also dark magic.

Second is I want an RPG system that allows me to see my own status.

I also want the ability to see other people's status in detail.

Also please make sure that I can understand whatever the locals said.

" Affirmative. We will request for a speed-up process." the monotone voice said.

Oh, there is a speed-up process, good I don't need to wait for long...

" Ah, this batch... I definitely love handling these kinds of reincarnators~"

Huh, this batch? Does that mean he also handled the reincarnation for Luca, Peter, Kevin, and Adeline?

" Not all of them, only the last two~ the other gods handle the first two. I must say you three are pretty good. Normally the average time for thinking these 3 wishes is 15 minutes, but you all finished it within 2 minutes... it surely made our jobs easier you know. You guys choose literally the simplest and easy wishes. Not wishes like I want a world to conquer, I want to become a stellar ruler, I want world domination that kind of stuff. This is why I like to handle reincarnators like your type." God says

Can I ask why am I chosen to be reincarnated first rather than Beno? 

" Hrmm? He should be the first one though? I'll try and check. But first, we need to handle your reincarnation first. Race and visual changes are free and your skills...all are ok except when inspecting someone else, you will not get their numerical value. But you will get a rough estimated value. If their stats are the same with you it will be shown as B weaker will be C D E while higher will be A S SS... I need to go check who designed this... it's very confusing. Anyways these are your skills. [ Reinforcement Magic], [ Shadow Arts], [ Stealth Arts ], and also [ Appraisal ] just say Status and you will be able to see your status." God says

I hope Beno will be free from his suffering soon. He is the last one now...

" Alright while I go check what happened to your friend, ill send you to your way into Astrea, your friends there should be able to find you soon. Have a fun adventure there!" God says while walking away.

Suddenly my vision is blinded with a bright white light and suddenly, I'm inside a.... what do they call this again... savannah?

4th Felerach of Mazriel Year 1215

At the outskirts of the Yarkania Kingdom

I stand up and I realize that right now, my ding ding dong is gone and I now have breast! and its the size I want :3 ... no don't play with them outside at least wait until I find somewhere to sleep. I move my hands towards my back and I touched something I shouldn't touched.

" KYAAAAAA"

WHY IS IT SO SENSITIVE.

It literally took me a full 3 minutes to get out of my stimulated stance... Ok breast check, tails check, ears.... OK human ears are gone and voila, Neko ears OWO

Alright I am now truly what I wanted, a white hair neko girl~ Though I'm not sure if I have the hetero eyes though... 

If you cant imagine how Marco looks like, imagine this but hetero eyes of blue and orange and hair is only until the waist. ¹

Now then... let's first go find a place to stay. I for sure does not want to stay the night outside. Hrmm Im a neko girl now so I should be able to have better dexterity right? Oh wait

" Status "

...

WHO THE FUCK IS HORNY 

Hrmm... I actually don't know if these stats are good or not... can I check on them? 

Oh sweet.... Am I more stupid than the average humans...

Anyways I have to know where the nearest settlement is... 

" Eᛚᛖᛗᛖᚾᛏᛋ ᛁᚾ ᛏᚺᛖ ᚨᛁᚱ, ᛋᛏᚱᛖᚾᚷᛏᚺᛖᚾ ᛗᛃ ᛒᛟᛞᛃ ᚨᚾᛞ ᚨᛚᛚᛟᚹ ᛗᛖ ᛏᛟ ᛗᛟᚹᛖ ᛒᛖᛏᛏᛖᚱ. Body strengthening." I chanted as I can feel my body become stronger!" now let's climb this tree and see if I can find something.

I climbed up the tree without failure.... Except at the start I literally stumbled down as I'm not used to my new speed. Face first by the way.

" This tree sure is tall, but thanks to that I can see more further... hrmm, can I actually strengthen my eyes? let's try... Eᛚᛖᛗᛖᚾᛏᛋ ᛁᚾ ᛏᚺᛖ ᚨᛁᚱ, ᛋᛏᚱᛖᚾᚷᛏᚺᛖᚾ ᛗᛃ ᛖᛃᛖᛋ ᚨᚾᛞ ᚷᚱᚨᚾᛏ ᛗᛖ ᛏᚺᛖ ᛖᛃᛖᛋ ᛟᚠ ᚨ ᚺᚨᚹᚲ. Hawk vision." .... let's not do that without trying... the change in vision made me dizzy and I nearly fell off the tree... Let's see, it looks like there is a fort city there? I should go check it out... if I'm not wrong I should be able to reach there before emptying my stamina. I climbed down the tree and prepare to run to the town. I wonder how long do these spells last for... 

Oh, my body strengthening spell ended... It seems to be 15 minutes at most? Maybe it will be longer if I can improve my wisdom or intelligence stat. I wonder which one is for the spells. It doesn't really give a hint on which stat would be used for spells. Anyways now onwards towards the town whose name I do not know of!

"Eᛚᛖᛗᛖᚾᛏᛋ ᛁᚾ ᛏᚺᛖ ᚨᛁᚱ, ᛒᛟᛟᛋᛏ ᛗᛃ ᛋᛈᛖᛖᛞ ᚨᚾᛞ ᚨᛚᛚᛟᚹ ᛗᛃ ᛚᛖᚷᛋ ᛏᛟ ᛒᛖ ᚨᛒᛚᛖ ᛏᛟ ᛖᚾᛞᚢᚱᛖ ᛏᚺᛁᛋ ᛖᚾᛏᛁᚱᛖ ᛃᛟᚢᚱᚾᛖᛃ. Leg strengthening. Lets go!"

In the reincarnation realm

" Hrmm... mind explaining to me why you forgot to reincarnate this one? " God of Reincarnation (Well be referred as God A)

" I'm sorry, it is a mistake on my end, I suddenly have to handle too many reincarnators at once that I missed out on this one." God B

" Do you want me to handle this one too or you can manage..." God A

" I can do this don't worry senior! I just need to handle these 2 new reincarnators then I can work on that one..." God B 

" Give me his details ill reincarnate him. Letting the poor soul wait will only damage his soul. What will you do if his soul became too broken that he can't even reincarnate properly? Should I strip your god rank and demote you into an archangel?" God A

" HIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE Please don't do that senpai! I finally reached this position after helping 9981 people reincarnating... I don't want that number to reset again!" God B said while he panics and starts to find the reincarnation detail of the reincarnator.

" Here are the details for the boy." God B said while trying to run away " I got some other reincarnator to handle so ill leave it to you senpai!"

... 

This useless god... This boy is already past due his reincarnation time... this is going to be tricky... I'll get you demoted don't worry.

" Start protocol X9-315-P124. We got an overdue reincarnation process. Immediately attempt to rewrite the reincarnation due date and timings." God A

" Affirmative estimated time need is 20 minutes. Time might be increased due to long overdue reincarnation time." the monotone voice

" Also send a report to the Higher Gods to report Reincarnation God #48763. Report reason is long overdue reincarnation process." God A

" Report sent. Thank you for your report! Your report will be analyzed and the proper measures will be taken to make the overrealm more perfect!" the monotone voice said.

Poor soul... I'll try to reincarnate you properly...
