--The story of what happened is simple.


　Reincarnation.


　They say you died in an accident without any fun and then were reborn again.

　I knew that the moment I came to, I understood it. Not because I met a god or anything, but because I still had the feeling that I had died once for sure.

　The feeling of being crushed by a truck, bones cracking, and your whole body screaming and crushing into pieces.

　I could feel the strength leaving my body, and my blood was pouring out of my body, but I didn't feel any pain or anything, and my eyes were gradually going dark.

　I shuddered, took a deep breath and drove the bad memories out of my head.

　Anyway, I was supposed to be dead once, but the next thing I knew I was lying here in a throne-room-like place.

　Elegant chandeliers, pillars and walls. There are no windows and it's not very deep.
　Sitting behind me is a throne that's sparsely decorated but majestic enough. Straight from there, a blue carpet instead of a red carpet is laid down to the wall facing you, and there's a door that's also less ornate, but would be a nice price to buy.

　However, the room as a whole has an air of villainy about it. It's like a room somewhat reduced in size from the throne room in the game's last dungeon where the demon king resides.

　After being dumbfounded for a while, I stood up to take stock of the situation for now - and as my eyes were raised, I noticed that there was that thing behind the throne.

What's this ......?

　There was a round, rainbow-colored treasure, about the size of a basketball.

　I reached out for it without a second thought.


!


　The moment you touch the jewel, a powerful headache hits you.

　An unpleasant sensation sweeps over your entire body, as if your brain were being played with directly.
　You fall to your knees and poke your hands on the floor.
　Tears seep from the corner of your eyes, your vision wobbles from the pain, and you feel nauseous.

　--The hellish headache lasts for a few dozen seconds and then fades away like a wave.

Huh ...... huh ...... I see.

　--And I chanted the words.

...... menu.

　At the same time, a transparent glass plate - in essence, a game menu screen - appeared in front of my eyes.

　This appears in the form that is easiest for the one who chants it, for example, in the case of primitive species such as goblins, which are also found in this world, a tablet appears when you chant "Menu", and in the case of other human-like species, it usually appears in the form of a book.

　In my case, I guess I played the game a lot and decided that this was the most convenient form for me.

　Such knowledge popped into my head as if I had a dictionary in my brain.

　...... No, I guess I really have the knowledge implanted directly into my brain.

　I turned my attention to the menu while holding down my unsteady head, the four items displayed were "Status", "DP Catalog", "Dungeons" and "Gacha".

　I'm sure you'll be interested in the "Gacha" section of the website ...... and then touch the "Status" section of the website as if you were operating a smartphone, and you'll see a number that seems to be my status.

...... says that your race is an arc demon.

　Before I knew it, I wasn't human anymore: .......
