Chapter 1: A trip to the land of death

Author's note: Please check out my other story, which is being released at the same time as this one, I will try to post chapters to both stories by alternating them every day, so each story gets 1 chapter every other day: 

 

I wake up; feeling surprisingly energetic, far more than my thirty four year old body could ever provide. I can only assume it being due to me sleeping on the white floor, but... Where the hell am I? I can only think when I stand up.

Around me is a white marbled room, completely square in shape, with no source of light to be seen, yet, I can see worryingly well in here. In the middle of the room lies a starcase up to podium decorated in a patterned circle, with it helpfully showing foot markings in the middle.

I assume I should walk up into the middle of the podium, feeling some force guide me while being blissfully unaware at my instinctive actions.

『Welcome [Reincarnator]. Congratulations on completing your first life with this title.』

Wait, I'm dead? Oh, OH, now I remember, did I really die from a dumb fall? Seriously? And what is this, reincarnation? isn't that like being born again after death? seems pretty sweet.

...I was about to record a song, which should have been my magnum opus, were it not for my untimely death, walking to the producer after placing my electric guitar on the table beside me, I had forgotten to unplug it and unceremoniously tripped, my head spiking the edge of the metal table, which would not have killed me, were it not for the hard concrete floor beneath me, dealing the finishing blow, causing me to black out.

『Title unlocked: [ill prepared arrogance]』A blue screen appears in front of me, startling me slightly.

Title? Like the [Reincarnator] thing? what is it?

[Title: ill prepared arrogance.]: After arrogantly declaring that you will create something which people will remember you by, you fail miserably due to the lack of talent and skill to do so.
Effect: For the next two lives, you will be 30% slower at using your brain when creating, observing or practicing art.

"WHAT?!?!? Why would you give me that??? Lacking talent and skill? I've been writing music for twenty years! I have over five hundred thousand daily listeners on my spotify. isn't music subjective? Why are you judge it then? what are you, god?"

I hear no reply, but instinctively I seem to know that it is just a tool of god, with no mind to it, so there's no use complaining. After a couple minutes, which I assume is the tool being considerate towards me by letting my mind comprehend my chaotic situation, it finally speaks.

You have Beginner’s Protection; one Strike removed!

Your Beginner’s Protection will last: three more lives.』

Well... that's alot to take in. It is a little disheartening spending so much time learning music only for it to deem me a beginner, though it is surprising that I managed to become intermediate in english, and to earn so many points, considering I'll be reincarnated again, it seems like a difficult, but efficient way of earning points, wait no, now that I think about it, it took me 34 years only for me to get an intermediate rank in English, there's no way that's efficient.

It's quite scary that I will die permanently if I do not earn enough points, but when you think about it; it's not like it's any different from when I didn't know I was a [Reincarnator].

"Hey God-Tool thingy, what do I need to avoid getting a strike?" not really certain whether I get a reply, I wait for 10 seconds, and just as I was getting disheartened, the Tool replies.

『You'll need to obtain the rank of A.』

"And how will I get A rank?" once again I wait for this turtle-like tool, until it finally answers.

『To obtain the rank of A you will need to earn a total of 15000 points and have a significant enough achievement from the world you walked on in the prior life.』

My heart felt like it was about to cramp, and kill me in the reincarnation chamber when I heard those words.

"Fifteen thousand???? I can barely get thirty!"

After punching the ground and complaining for about five minutes, I ask another question.

"How do I remove a strike?"

The Tool speaks.
