Seto Ukyo sat in his chair when a group of girls approached him.

"You can do it," said one girl, whispering in her friend's ear.

The shy girl gathered all her courage and stood in front of Seto's table.

"Seto, c-can I ask you a favor?"

Seto's eyes locked onto the girl and sighed. Another one... he thought. It's hard being as handsome as I am. Seto wasn't exaggerating. He was indeed a handsome guy who stood on par with a world-class model. No, he even surpassed one. He had blond hair, blue eyes, he was tall, and the most important part: he had a good-looking face.

"Spit it out. I hate wasting time," he said.

"I'm sorry Seto, I just wanted to ask if you could meet me at th"

"the roof of the school?" he interrupted. "Not interested, you're not pretty enough. Go away."

Seto's cold rejection shocked the girl. She wanted to burst into tears, but didn't so she could leave her integrity intact. She bowed and said, "I'm sorry Seto for wasting your time." then she ran away.

After she left, she started crying in the hallway. The atmosphere in the classroom became awkward, and the group of girls felt bad for their friend. One of them walked towards Seto's table and slammed her hands on it. "Just because you're handsome doesn't mean you can act like a dick. You've hurt her feelings. I will not forgive you if you don't apologize."

Seto shrugged his shoulders. "Not my problem, I just told her the truth. What did you want me to do? Accept her confession and date her out of pity?"

The girl froze, and didn't expect that answer. She wanted to say something, but ignored him and went to the hallway to comfort her crying friend.

After she walked away, the entire group of girls followed as well.

"Brother Seto, you're a dragon amongst men," a guy said after he placed a hand on his shoulder. "All the girls in this school are obsessing over you, but you rejected every single of them until now. Can I call you god from now on?"

"Do whatever you like."

After the guys in the classroom witnessed another one of Seto's savage rejection, which were becoming a common phenomenon, they all praised him and began seeing him as a god.

After school ended, he went to a local internet cafe to play some games. People often associate gaming with nerds, but this isn't the case most of the time. Seto, for example, was an exception. Although, he spend most of his time playing video games. He was somehow in amazing shape.

After he walked into the cafe, the manager greeted him. He was a regular customer, so she recognized him. Such a handsome young man. He comes here very often, but I'm too shy to ask for his phone number...

Seto ignored the stares he received from the many people and sat down at his regular spot.

"Time to play," he said, and started his computer.

After the computer started, he opened his favorite game, but suddenly, someone touched his shoulder.

"Look who we have here, Seto Ukyo," the punk said in a mocking tone. "You rejected my sister today and broke her heart. That was a terrible decision. You humiliated her, and I, as her brother, cannot tolerate that. I'm going to make you regret that."

Seto put off his headset and looked at the punk without interest. He noticed the group of tough looking guys behind him, but ignored them. "So what if I rejected her? It's not my problem she couldn't handle the truth. I'm not a guy who likes to lie to a girl, if she cannot handle my honestly it's her own fault. And can you fuck off now? I have to pay here hourly. Unless you're willing to pay my fees, you should just leave."

The punk became furious after Seto's reaction. He slapped him on his face. "Paying your fees my ass, I'm going to teach you a lesson."

Two of his friends grabbed Seto's arms, and they prevented him from escaping. Seto struggled to break free, but a group is always stronger than one person.

The punk punched him in his guts and kept repeating it.

All the surrounding people stopped what they were doing and watched the conflict instead. Some people even screamed. "Somebody call the police!"

The punk kept hitting him until Seto fell to the ground. He didn't move, and the punk's friends panicked. "Fuck bro, you went overboard." They panicked and left. They ran outside and nobody tried to stop them. Most people were afraid of being targeted instead, so they ignored them.

Seto's vision faded, and everything turned dark. Maybe I shouldn't have acted so cold. It's not my fault for being so wanted. But it's too late now for regrets.

Seto Ukyo had died...

Seto Ukyo opened his eyes and saw the text displayed before his eyes. He was confused. What is happening? Didn't I die? Initializing reincarnating process? I'm getting reincarnated?

 

【Hello user, you've died and given a new chance. The character stats distribution will now start. Choose your stats wisely.

Another chance at life, that thought thrilled Seto. He had an idea what the points meant, but he wasn't too sure. Maybe he could ask the system for more details?

"System, could you explain the stats, please?"

 

【Strength measures one's physical power.

Constitution measures one's endurance, stamina, and health. If one's health becomes zero, they will die.】

 

No shit Sherlock, Seto thought.

 

【Dexterity measures one's agility, balance, coordination and reflexes.

Intelligence measures one's deductive reasoning, cognition, the ability to learn new knowledge, memory, logic and rationality. 

Wisdom measures one's self-awareness, common sense, restraint, perception and insight.

Charisma measures one's social skills.

Looks measures one's physical appearance. 】

Alright. Seto now had a basic understanding of the unique attributes. The system didn't explain them in detail, but it was enough for him. He thought how he should spend his points. In his past, when he was still alive, he played mmorpgs at a professional level. Although the attributes weren't exactly the same as his games, they matched close enough. If he wanted to optimize his stats, he should choose the way he wanted to live his next life.

I don't know what kind of world I'll be reincarnating in to. Will they have the same system as me? Has reincarnation always had a system like this?

If he knew what kind of world he would into reincarnate, it’d be a lot easier If the society was comparable to earth, then strength was useless, but if the world would be primitive, strength would be everything. It also depended if he'd kept his current memories. If he would, then he wouldn't have to spend points into intelligence and wisdom.

Suddenly, a thought hit Seto. What if I kept resetting my current points? In one of the previous games Seto played in his past life, after he reset his points a few hundred times, the games bugged and his points became endless. Maybe this would also work?

It didn't hurt to try, so Seto said, "System, reset my points."

 

【Points have reset. You have 10 points left to spend.】

 

"System, reset my points."

 

【Points have reset. You have 10 points left to spend.】

 

"System, reset my points."

 

【Points have reset. You have 10 points left to spend.】

 

"System, reset my points."

...

After a few million times, the system kept displaying 10 points. Seto wanted to give up until he said for the last time.

"System, reset my points."

...

 

【An error has occurred. Resetting points... Error, cannot reset points. Loading points.... error... Amount of points failed to load. Amount set to NaN.

Seto stared at the text before him and assigned a point to strength.

 

【Remaining points: NaN

It worked. Seto stretched his arms and said, "this is going to take a long time."
