1 Chapter 1 - Traveling
Tokyo,
In an unknown apartment, a boy of age 15 or 16 woke up.
"Huh." Staring at the unfamiliar ceiling, the boy looked dazed. He didn't react until a few minutes passed.
"Am I traveling through?" The boy looked at his white and tender hands and muttered after touching his slightly unfamiliar face.
Although he wasn't hit by a truck or something and he just fell asleep and then woke up here but perhaps because he had always hoped to travel through in his previous life and he was a nerd who deeply liked the second dimension, the boy quickly accepted his identity and he didn't think too much about why he traveled through.
"What should I do." The boy looked around the room which was clean and tidy yet there were many figurines, mangas, and novels. Although he was interested in them, he first started thinking about what to do.
He didn't have any memory about the original owner of the body so he began to first look for his ID card, so as to confirm who he was.
After a while, the boy found the ID card on the table. After looking at the ID card, he immediately understood the language on it.
"Mi, yu, ki... Ar, ri, ya, ma..." The boy muttered the name on the ID card.
"Huh, why can I understand." The boy or rather Miyuki Ariyama was startled as to why he could understand the words on the ID card.
The language written on the ID card isn't the native language from his previous life, it was Japanese. He didn't understand why he knew what was written.
Just as Miyuki Ariyama was thinking, a female voice sounded in his head.
[ Ding, Host has contacted his original identity. ]
[ Ding, System starts blending in the soul. ]
[ 1%, 10%, 20%, 50%,...100% ]
[ System fusion successfully. ]
[ Ding, Host, Sing-in System of Heaven's at your service. ]
"Huh!" Miyuki was startled. It was only after confirming that it wasn't his illusion, he spoke, "System."
[ Yes Host. ]
"So, it's really a system." Miyuki breathed lightly and thought. At this time, he understood that he might have crossed because of the system.
Although he looked relaxed, Miyuki had countless thoughts in his heart. After all, he had read quite a few Reincarnation paradises and Main God-type novels, so he couldn't easily trust the system.
Miyuki didn't think he was different from ordinary people, so, he directly asked the system, "System how did you come into being and why did you choose me."
[ Host, the system was born in an endless chaotic sea. It is the highest-grade treasure in the dimension. ]
[ The reason for binding the host is because when the system was born, many dimensional superpowers competed for it. ]
[ As a self-conscious being, the system refused to obey them. In the end system and they got into a fight. Although the system won in the end, it was also seriously injured. ]
[ At that time the nearest world was your world, host. So, the system went into your world to recuperate. It's just because your world didn't have any special energy and the system couldn't directly devour the world because of injury, so, the injury of the system couldn't recover. Even, the injuries worsened over time. ]
[ In the end, in order to survive, the system quickly searched nearby areas and found you who was quite obsessed with being able to travel through the second dimension. At that time, the system didn't have much energy, so, you were directly selected as the host. ]
Miyuki could hear deep helplessness in the system's voice. His vigilance towards the system was also lowered.
Although he believed a little, he was still confused about why he was the only one who was selected. After all, there should have been many other people on Earth who wanted to travel through. As a straightforward person, he asked directly, "Why me? There should have been others."
[ Host do you think everyone is you? They can accept traveling so calmly and even think about why they were the ones to travel through. ]
[ What's more, the system didn't have much time at that time, and the system also needed the help of someone to help it recover so, you were selected as the host. ]
Miss system became helpless. It understood that its host has doubts about him, so it patiently explained to Miyuki.
"Ok." In the end, Miyuki accepted the system and trusted it. After all, he was a weak chicken, if the system wanted to harm him then it would be easy.
"So, what's our relationship now." Miyuki calmed down and accepted the fact that a system had bound him. He wants to know whether he is in a dominant position like those protagonists in the novel or if is he going to work hard to recover the system.
[ The current relationship... ] System's voice became strange when she thought of the current relationship.
[ Now you're my master and I am your thing. ] In the end, miss system chose to tell the truth.
Miyuki couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that that system would become his thing. After all, according to the system, it fought against peak superpowers of the whole dimension. How could it be possible to become the thing of an ordinary person like him?
"Why? Aren't you strong? You shouldn't become my thing." Miyuki couldn't help but be curious.
[ System is the highest grade treasure bred in endless chaos. Once bound, it becomes a lifetime thing. It cannot be changed or snatched. This is a dimensional rule for highest-grade treasures. ]
[ No one, even peak dimensional beings can't go against the dimensional rule. So, host, now I am yours. ]
"It's good." Now, Miyuki completely let down his guard against the system. After all, the system belongs to him and it's not the backhand of some strong existence.
"So, now can you tell me about the original owner and about why I can understand Japanese." Since they had established initial trust, Miyuki began to ask about his original doubt.
[ Host, the reason for understanding Japanese is the original owner of the body. Although you don't have his memory, his memory clearly remains in the body because the system purified his soul and merged it into yours. Language is deeply imprinted in the mind, so, you can naturally understand it. ]
[ What's more, the system brought you into this world and gave you a reasonable identity, so it naturally helped you understand the language the moment you traveled through. ]
Hearing the system's explanation, Miyuki relaxed. Suddenly understanding a new language, anyone would not feel at ease.
As for the soul of the original owner being purified and then merged into his, Miyuki didn't feel much other than slight guilt. He knew that he was still himself from his previous life and not someone else, so he didn't mind what the system did. It's just like a normal human, killing someone, and he felt guilty.
[ By the way host, here is the original owner's memory. ]
Miyuki suddenly felt a cool feeling then he felt his head swell. He immediately held his head and squatted on the ground.
About three minutes later, Miyuki stood up and opened his eyes. At this moment he understood everything about the original owner.
"Good guy." After understanding the original owner, Miyuki called a good guy. This guy was actually a nerd and he died because he stayed late for too long.
"This template is really the protagonist." Miyuki browsed through his memory and couldn't help but speak.
The original owner was an orphan, he was adopted by his current family. The adoptive parents of the original owner are usually traveling around the world and there is a younger sister at home to take care of. He also had a childhood sweetheart.
Although these conditions don't satisfy the protagonist template of travelers, it is the protagonist template of normal anime and manga protagonists.
"Childhood Sweetheart." Mentioning this sentence, Miyuki quickly browsed through his memory and searched for his childhood sweetheart. He felt that it was important to know about her because her face reminded him of a character in a certain anime.
"Yuri Mariya," Miyuki remembered her name. He also remembered her face. After remembering, Miyuki felt his whole body wasn't good.
The reason for feeling so unwell is naturally because he understood what world he travels through.
This world is the world of Godkiller, also known as Campione.
—Godkiller.
As the name suggests, it means "one who kills the gods".
The plot of the whole animation is very simple.
The protagonist is either killing the gods or on the way to killing the gods.
In terms of that era, it can be regarded as a relatively hot-blooded and royal harem-oriented plot story.
In general, it is a work that revolves around a fairly passionate and cheerful work.
However, the setting in Godslayer is very novel.
In this world, people weave all kinds of myths, and myths create gods as diverse as stars.
Generally speaking, the gods should maintain their original roles in their respective myths, but not all gods obey their own myths peacefully.
Therefore, the "god" who ran counter to the image in the myth and came to the world was called the "Heretic God".
Manifestation, for ordinary people, is a "legendary" miracle.
However, after the Heretic God descends, because of the characteristics endowed by mythology, it usually affects the surroundings to varying degrees.
The god of fire causes fire.
The god of plague will bring incurable diseases, and the god of war will affect the will of intelligent life, causing disputes and destruction.
Then... Humans who kill the Heretic God due to various "coincidences" will gain part of the power of the gods, and instantly gain the power to wrestle with the gods.
Although the whole anime looks like a hot-blooded harem drama, Miyuki knows that the power level of this world is very strong. It's so strong that Miyuki doesn't feel safe even if he is staying in his house.
In this world, even the weakest magicians and knights can beat ordinary people to death easily. Not to mention Godslayers who can easily destroy the country.
Although everything feels good when watching the anime, after knowing that a certain country destroyer-level lunatic like Godslayers exists in reality then no one will feel well.
Thankfully, as an otaku, Miyuki's psychology was very strong. He quickly got rid of his inner fear when he thought of his system. After all, his system can fight against the peak powerhouses of the dimension, he didn't think that a mere Hertic God would be a big matter for the system.
"System, what's your function." Since the world is very dangerous, Miyuki decided to become stronger. The first step to becoming stronger was naturally to know the function of the system.
[ As the name suggests. Host, this system is a sign-in system. It's just system is a bit different from the normal sign-in system you read about in novels. ]
[ There are three types of sign-in -
1) Normal sign-in: Normal sign-in is also called daily sign-in. The host can get 10 points every day through normal sign-in. Points can be used for strengthening and buying things from the mall. Currently, the mall isn't available, so, points for buying can only be used after the mall function is open.
2) Special sign-in: The host can perform a special sign-in once a year. Depending on luck host can get certain things from the dimension, it can be ability, bloodline, skill, cultivation method, etc.
3) Mission Sign-in: Depending on the plot characters contacted by the host, the system will release conditions for mission sign-in. Whether to sign in or not depends on the host. As for what to get, it depends on Host's luck. ]
[ Other than this the currently available functions are strengthening and travel. ]
[ Strengthening - As the name suggests, it literally means strengthening. Points can be used to strengthen the host or the people around the host. It can also be used to increase ability, skills, etc. Strengthening can be an all-round or single attribute, it depends on the host. ]
[ Travel - It literally means to travel through the world. Travel is also divided into random and designated. For random, no points are required but for designated, points are required depending on the level of the world. ]
After hearing the introduction of functions, Miyuki's heart relaxed a lot. Although there is no Mall function but strengthening function is enough for him to relax. What's more, if there is no way then, he can leave this world, after all, there is a travel function.
