44 big surprise

Putting my stealth suit back on, i go to the place where the gathering of cultist is being held and as soon as i make it there i see about 40 people there but most of them weren't really notable besides one white haired guy who had a special talent which almost made me lose my shit but that wasn't the worst thing.

[Name: rin sakido (advanced system user. Type: prestige

Age: 21 (51 mental)]

(A.n: advanced system just means that he has a system unlike the normal system that con only show your own stats and skills while doing nothing else)

(The type prestige means that his system works by prestigeing his skills levels etc upon death to like get a purer bloodline upgrade some part of him or something else)

[Regression: when you die your memories go back to the moment when you were born but you lose all your stats, skills and levels but your skills and proficiencies get a huge exp gain boost. Round: 2]

I calm down and sigh as i think 'well at least he is only on his 2nd life so he isn't that dangerous but he is still strong since most of his stats are around 150 besides his intelligence which is close to 200'.

Alright let's think about it, he might know me from his last regression but the question is did the past me know about his regression perk or did this guy gain the perk when he died.

This is so hard to wrap my head around, well let's look at the facts he died in 9 years in his last run why did that happened was it well from the look on his eyes i don't think he was betrayed or anything like that so he probably fought something like a demon lord.

Ahh i hope it wasn't a demon lord that would be annoying.

Well for now let's just see what he does.

After everyone walked inside the basement i was hiding behind everyone and saw that they started doing the ritual.

There was a magical circle made from chalk and blood, inside there stood a naked person with symbols carved into himself with a weird wooden spike in one hand and a potion in the other.

The naked man drank the potion and threw the empty vial away and stabbed himself in the chest while another cultist started to chant some sort of incantation as the naked man fell to the ground dead lying on his back.

After the incantation stopped the spike in the chest started sprouting black vines that pierced the body before the spike went further into his chest before his skin started falling off and wood started to replace his muscles and bones before his outer layer started growing bark.

His eyes and teeth fell out and in his eye sockets a green flame flickered to life.

A two meter tree person stood inside the circle before he started speaking "you have done well so far my followers however it will take a few days before we can start my pla-" but before he could finish everyone inside this besides me was frozen to the bone by an ice spell from rin the regressor.

The tree demon looked at rin with a slight frown before saying "who do you think you are mortal? Well no matter they all were weaklings so you shall have the honour to become my first minion".

"Are you sure about that? Why don't you examine your body more closely" rin said with a smirk while taking out a sword from the middle of the air.

'he probably has an inventory' i thought as i saw the tree demon start walking towards rin but was stopped halfway as he went to his knees.

"W-what did you do human!?" The demon asked.

"A few drops of of star wolf poison and a pinch of black ice salt have an extremely effective paralysis effect" rin said as he cut off the demons head with a single swing of his pure white blade.

He soon cut into the demons chest and took out a brown orb into his hand before clicking in the middle of the air with his finger and the orb turned into white light particles that entered rin.

Rin pointed his hand at the ground and a small vine came out of it as rin smiled and said "better reward then last time".

He soon stood up looked in my direction smiled and said "come out connor i have energy sight i can see your energy as clear as day".

I deactivated the enchantments on my clothes and stepped forward slightly nervous "ah who might you be?" I asked rin.

"Oh stop it i know you know my name and perk with your observation the question is how much do you remember?" Rin said with an amused face.

"Well i know nothing from your past run if that's what you were asking" i said as i took out two comfy chairs from my inventory and placed them facing eachother as we sat down.

"Ugh i hoped your adaptation would be strong enough to retain at least some snipets of memories, well what were your stats the day the system took place?" Rin said a bit deflated.

"Before that how about you tell me what happened i am quite curios and what was our relation ship like and how good do you know me?" I said as i drank a can of coke.

Rin chuckled as he started talking "alright well to start off in 5 years aliens took over this planet quite easily due to the combination of technology and magic, then after the 10 minute war where they just blew up one of the two moons to show their might the races of this planet were integrated into the galactic federation that had 60% of this galaxy under control two years later the hive mind called tokuten came from the unexplored part of galaxy and they started assimilating much of the populace was destroyed. When i was 30 the two of us went on the mission to destroy the main hive queen which we succeeded at but i died after we killed it due to a spell from the hive queen. Well now for your history that you told me about and that i know of, we first met in 2 years from now and we became business partners and soon after friends, a few months later i told you about my past and how one organisation killed my family when i was just a newborn, you helped me track them down and get my revenge after which i swore my eternal loyalty to you. At that point you made me your party member by your advanced system standards and you started showing me your system worlds where we leveled up and researched all kinds of things. when the aliens came we went and became bounty hunters of sort and with the money gained you started buying any knowledge on all kinds of magic spells, psychic abilities, martial arts, super powers and more. Soon you also started an mercenary/ bounty hunting organisation and later we were hired to try and destroy the hive queen like many other groups and with the help of the military and mercenaries some groups of the military and mercenaries managed to get to the room where the queen resided. And finally for how good do i know you well in my last life i had a skill named sage's eye so i knew about 70% of your abilities the moment i met you. I took a lot of interest in you due to your powers being even greater than the demon king at the time i didn't know about the demon king though. Oh yeah the demon king i forgot since he came one year after we met when he introduced himself to the world one month later there was news of the demon king being defeated along with all his subordinates being killed. How did he get defeated you might ask? Well simple you just up and walked into his castle and killed them all in like 10 minutes."

"Okay so aliens, demon lord, hive mind got it. My first stats were this" i said excited at the possibilities of the future.

"Looks like your all your stats were higher by 1 so i guess your adaptation worked slightly at preserving you" rin said with a slight smile.

"Well now tell me about your system if you are willing to" i asked rin.

"Sure why not well ever since i gained the system i could gain skill levels easier and i could level up by killing things and at some level milestones i could gain a perk and that's everything it could do on my first life but as i died i was in a white room where a system prompt appeared that basically said it was calculating my points and taking all my skills and knowledge to turn it into system points. With them i could buy things like exp gain multiplier for my class or skills and some other things like increasing my talent for some things and i also waited a few days to see if i would be resurrected but it seems like i can't be revived after dying besides going back to the start" rin said as he drank his can of coke.

"So what do you say can we join up for a party? It will be beneficial for the both of us since my party members get 25% enhanced speed at gaining skill exp and your system gives a 25% increase in class exp" rin said putting down the empty can on the ground.

"If i may what's your moral code and what do you want to achieve?" I asked him.

Rin's face turned neutral as he said "give innocent people a quick and painless death and i won't care. And my personal mission is a bit similar to yours, but unlike you i don't want to be the strongest across all realities i want to uncover the secrets of magic, martial arts, energies, technology and so much more but i will need strength to be able to do that uninterrupted. So how about it i will be your personal researcher to create things to make us stronger while you will be protecting us." Rin finished with a slightly crazed smile.

I hummed as i thought about it and rin added another thing.

"I can do the paperwork when we start out before we get some staff" rin said with a knowing smirk with an outstretched hand waiting to be shaken.

I sigh with a smile on my face as i shake his hand while saying "you know me well".

"That i do" rin said with a smile as we both saw each others system prompt.

[Rin Sakido has been accepted as your first official party member thus he gains a 25% exp boost to his class exp and you gain +5 charisma for this minor achievement]

[You have joined Rin Sakido's party you gain +25% skill exp gain]

"So what do you plan on doing now and why didn't you come looking for me sooner?" I asked rin curious as to what he has planned.

Rin had a wide a smile on his face as he spoke "well isn't obvious? We are gonna abuse the shit out of my future knowledge and your busted abilities".

"Oh that reminds me what worlds and perks do you have?" Rin said as he realised i might not have the same abilities since a lot of things like perks and worlds i can go into depend on luck.

After telling him about my perks, skills, stats and worlds i can go to he heaved a sigh of relief.

" Thankfully almost everything is the same besides that undertale world since in my last life you told me you had horror tale. Oh and before you ask you introduced me to a lot of games and lore" rin said as he took out everything needed to do alchemy on before he took out a bunch of ingredients.

" You better put all your soul into making these potions since i paid a hefty sum of prestige points to keep these recipes in my head" rin said as he handed me a book with about 20 recipes.
