Ars

Brandon's composure turned to anxiety as time passed.

"Why haven't I been reincarnated yet? It should have passed 24 hours!"

"No, calm down first. Maybe my calculations are wrong. After all, there's no way to tell the time here, except to count it manually."

He convinced himself not to lose his mind. Otherwise, who could bear to be stuck in this godforsaken place forever?

"Hopefully it's the next reincarnation in the modern anime world. I miss the food and drink of modern civilization."

In his previous six reincarnations, he had always been born in the medieval world. Even the [Shingeki no Kyojin] world cannot be considered a modern civilization.

There was nothing to do, Brandon counted every second in his mind.

When the count reached 86,400 seconds, he began to lose his cool.

"Fuck! Two days have already passed, could it be that I can no longer reincarnate…?"

"What should I do?!"

Negative emotions flooded his mind, and he who was in the soul orb state, flew straight to find a way out. However, no matter how far he flew, only darkness greeted him.

Who knows how much time passed, the soul orb stopped flying, Brandon was completely distraught.

"Never mind, even if I reincarnated again, I would at most die at a young age like the previous reincarnation. Maybe this is punishment for the sins I committed before I was reincarnated."

No one responded to Brandon's words in the infinite darkness.

The soul orb is like a speck of dust that exists in the universe.

"Oh, apparently there was a young Idaten born here. My luck was pretty good when I found this while training."

A woman's voice speaking in an ancient style rang out in the boundless darkness.

"Eh, a female voice?"

Brandon was stunned to hear another voice besides himself. This was the first time he had heard someone else's voice.

"Someone help me!"

Even though it was in the form of a soul orb, it still screamed loudly.

"I'm here, get me out of this place!"

"Help me!"

"I beg you, help me leave this damn place…"

Brandon kept screaming at the top of his lungs until his voice was hoarse. But to his disappointment, there was no response from the previous female voice.

"Apparently useless..."

Disappointment and despair again filled his mind.

When he no longer hoped, suddenly he felt a hand dragging him.

"Eh... What's going on..."

Before he finished his sentence, the sunlight hit his face, which made him close his eyes.

"It turns out that this time Idaten is a boy, not bad. Boy, you are the first generation of peaceful Idaten. What's your name?"

The same female voice as in the darkness before was heard.

Brandon looked at the source of the voice and saw a young girl who was slightly shorter than him.

The young girl had long blonde hair tied in a large ponytail and was wearing white Tang Dynasty clothing with long black pants.

"Don't be quiet, boy."

Receiving no response to her question, the girl punched Brandon in the stomach.

*BAM*

Instantly, Brandon's body was thrown hundreds of meters back, leaving a straight trail in the sand in its path.

"Cough Cough Cough..."

Landing on a sand dune, Brandon coughed up some of the grit that had gotten into his mouth, his hand clutching his aching stomach, and he curled up like a caterpillar.

(What's with this woman? She hit me right away for not answering. Can't you give me some time to process the situation?) Brandon complained in his heart.

What shocked him the most, was the insane power that girl possessed.

Just a simple punch sent him flying hundreds of meters.

How strong is that girl really?

*Whooosh*

There was a whirring sound approaching, then the girl landed a few meters from Brandon.

"You are so weak, boy. I have to properly train you to become stronger, to be able to take on the Demon Tribe."

The girl shook her head and didn't hide her disappointment at all.

"W-Wait a minute... I didn't understand a single word of your line. Can you explain what is going on here?"

Brandon struggled to his feet, gasping for breath.

"Oh, that's right. You were just born."

The girl spoke in an even tone and didn't feel guilty at all.

Brandon's lips twitched, there was a lot of grievance that he wanted to vent to the girl in front of him, but considering the other party's terrifying strength, he chose to be silent. Otherwise, he was worried that he would be beaten up again.

It's not funny that he died only after a few minutes of being reincarnated.

(Wait a minute... Something's weird, in all my six reincarnations, I've always been born as a baby. Why is it different now?)

Only now did he notice an anomaly in her, looking at his palm and his gaze was higher than the girl in front of him. Brandon was not born as a baby, but in a body that was already a teenager or an adult.

This is good news for him, at least he doesn't have to experience embarrassing events as a baby.

He groped his chest, and opened his pants. Brandon sighed, looking at the large object hanging from his crotch.

"Thankfully, this time I reincarnated as a boy."

After confirming his gender, he was relieved not to be reincarnated as a female.

In the third reincarnation, Brandon was born as a female. Besides being uncomfortable because women are physically weaker than men, he has to endure the pain of menstruation every month.

He didn't want to feel that way again.

"Oi, kid. What are you muttering about? If nothing else, let's begin your training."

The girl was getting impatient.

"Wait a minute, I still don't know who you are?"

Brandon's consciousness returned to reality, and he hurriedly asked.

"I? My name is Rin, an Idaten who is currently training to face the Demon Tribe if one day their seal is released."

The girl named Rin reported her name, then asked back: "And what's your name, boy?"

"I'm Bran... Ars, my name is Ars."

Every time he is reincarnated, Brandon has a different name. Originally, he wanted to use a name in his pre-reincarnation life, but a name came to mind, namely Ars.

He chose to use the name Ars over Brandon, this is a form of respect in his seventh reincarnation.

"Ars... Alright, let's start your training."

After learning each other's names, Rin grabbed Ars by the collar. Then, she ran at supersonic speed.

"!!!"

This is the first time Ars has experienced supersonic speed. Moreover, to speak, just opening his mouth could not be done because of air resistance.

(This woman is crazy! She doesn't listen to what other people are talking about)

Ars assesses the personality of a girl named Rin as a young woman in his heart.

There were many questions he wanted to ask.

What is Idaten?

What is the Demon Tribe?

Why can Rin have powers beyond human reason?

And there are many other questions.

(It looks like I can only wait.) Ars complained in his heart.

The scenery changed rapidly, those who were originally in the desert had entered the forest, then the prairie, and another environment.

Because Rin's speed was too fast, she was even running across the surface of the lake.

Seeing all this, Ars became increasingly curious about Rin's background.

In his sixth reincarnation, he was born in the Crimson Demon Village and attended the Red Prison Academy. Although he has not yet become a wizard, he is sensitive to magical energy.

Ars could confirm there was no magic energy fluctuation in Rin's body.

That means, all the inhuman abilities that Rin exhibited were purely physical strength.

(Physical strength that violates the laws of physics... This is the first time I see it, it widens my horizons.) Ars thought.
