here---

Before I knew it, I was in an unknown space.

Is this a dream?

But it is real, the body moves freely.

A door will appear in front of you.

What is it?

I timidly open the door...

"Yes, next person!"

Called by a woman to an employee inside.

"Um~ Where is this place?"

"Yes, please sit down."

I sit down in a chair as recommended.

After confirming that I was sitting in a chair, the woman started talking.

"This is the room where reincarnation takes place.

My name is Thoth, the one in charge.

Um, may I have your name?"

"My name is Yoshinobu Maeda."

When asked, I answered absently, but reincarnation? I'm dead No, it's a dream, isn't it?

I am confused, but Thoth continues the story.

"Here, we are going through the procedures to determine the karma of the previous life and connect it to the next life.

Those who have done good deeds will be born in a good place in their next life.

Those who have done bad things will have their souls washed once in hell, and then their next life will be in a difficult place.

So, Yoshinobu-san..."

Thoth hits a computer object,

"this one?"

Then he picked up a thick book and began to examine it.

"...No? Eh, what do you mean?

Yoshinobu! Why are you here! "

Thoth began to panic.

"No, I came because the door opened, but the situation is nothing...huh?"

When I looked back at the door for some reason, the door was gone.

"Haa, that door is one-way and you can't go back.

What should I do! "

"Um, am I dead?"

"The problem is that you came here even though you are not dead!

"No, there's no problem with Mr. Tote just because I came here alone, right?"

"...I'm sorry! It was my fault when the door opened! I brought you here by mistake."

"So I'm dead?"

"Oh, you're calm, aren't you? He's dead, don't blame me anymore."

"Everybody makes mistakes, and I really don't feel like I'm dead....

So what happens next? "

"Um, please wait a minute.

What to do when that happens..."

Thoth is examining a book.

"Understood! I was told it would be good to be transferred to another world."

"Oh! Transfer to another world!"

I was a little nervous.

I used to love reading stories like that.

"Yes, but it looks like he's going to die soon if he stays like this, so I'll get him ready so he can defend himself."

"Are you in self-defense?"

When I heard the word self-defense, I vaguely remembered the Self-Defense Forces.

"Yes, now you can use the self-defense method you imagined, so please use it and enjoy your new life."

With those words, my body gradually became transparent.

"this is it?"

"Time is up, the next time we meet will be when we are dead.

Until then, good luck. "

Thus, I set off on a journey to a new world.
