1 Reincarnation Room

A 16-year-old teenager, still wearing a white shirt and gray pants which is the typical uniform for high school in indonesian, walked to a vase of flowers.

Lifting the vase, he took the key to the door his parents had kept when they both went to work.

After opening the door, he locked the door again because he knew his parents would be home in the afternoon.

Walking to his room, he changed his high school uniform into a white t-shirt and knee-length shorts.

Lying on the bed, he looked expressionless at the roof of the wall.

"As usual, school is very boring..." Said the teenager nonchalantly.

Him name is Rio, born June 24 2006, currently 16 years old and domiciled in Jakarta, indonesian.

He was born into a well-to-do family, although he can't be said to be rich, but this family doesn't lack food to eat.

Rio has black hair, tan skin, which is typical of Asians, him face is not ugly, but not handsome either. He is just an ordinary young man who can be found anywhere and anytime.

Despite having no outward flaws, Rio suffers from two strides at once.

First, Moebius Syndrome, this is a very rare condition with signs that a person cannot show facial expressions.

And the second is Alexithymia, this is a mental condition associated with difficulty expressing emotions.

With Alexithymia and Moebius Syndrome, Rio has never felt the emotions of joy, sadness, joy or despair in him 16 years of life.

Because he was always expressionless and emotionless, none of the people wanted to be friends with him.

Even his parents had given up on treating Rio, and they were busy working because they couldn't bear to see their son who was always expressionless.

"Hmmm... According to people on facebook, Grand Blue anime is a very funny comedy anime."

"I hope the anime can make me smile a little."

Surfing on facebook, Rio saw people on facebook praising Grand Blue really made people burst out laughing.

Since there is nothing else to do, Rio downloads the Grand Blue files in Batch.

After 10 minutes of downloading, wearing bluetooth earphones in him ears, Rio watches.

Time flies, Rio has watched three episodes of Grand Blue. But no matter how funny the scene that can make other people laugh out loud, from the beginning until now, there is not even a smile on Rio's face.

"As usual... It's a waste..." Rio said without any disappointment.

Because the Wi-Fi internet connection is still on, suddenly a pop ad appears.

"Another ad? Apps now have too many ads when connected to the internet."

Rio initially wanted to immediately close the ad, but somehow he felt he would regret him decision.

Even though Rio felt no emotion and couldn't express the emotion on him face, he had a pretty accurate intuition according to him.

"This ad is different from other ads..."

Following him intuition, Rio read the advertisement.

[Tired of living a monotonous life?]

[Want to experience an exciting and thrilling adventure?]

[Want to have power beyond mortals?]

[Join the Reincarnation Room!, you can obtain treasures, thrones and women]

[Yes / No?]

"Exciting and thrilling?"

Compared to treasures, thrones and women, Rio's attention is more focused on the second paragraph.

For him who lived a life like a machine, without being able to experience all kinds of emotions that an ordinary human should have. Rio is more interested in things that can make him feel emotions.

"Is this a new game?"

"Reincarnation Room? Weird game name?"

"But I have an intuition that if I click [Yes], my life will completely change and it will be filled with danger."

Rio always believed in him intuition, he considered it a kind of sixth sense because he had been saved from many misfortunes by trusting him intuition.

This time was no exception, he felt that there would be many dangers waiting for him, but there would also be surprises and joys that he craved the most!

After pondering, Rio made up him mind.

"So what if there is danger? Instead of living a long boring life, it is better to live a short life filled with joy."

Rio clicked [Yes] on the smartphone, then everything went dark and he lost him consciousness.

"Uhhhh..."

Slowly opening him eyelids, Rio slowly woke up.

"What is going on?"

"Where is this?"

"If I'm not mistaken, I clicked [Yes] on the ad, then… I'm already here."

"Let's have a look first..."

The response of people in general when they wake up in a strange place, whether it's panic, anxiety, fear, anger and other negative emotions.

However, due to him two strides, there was no emotional turmoil whatsoever for Rio. He saw an area of 10 square meters, except for the bed, pillows, sheets which were all white, there was only a stool and a small table in the room.

"After I passed out, I woke up in an all-white room..."

As he was analyzing what was going on, a voice in his mind accompanied by a high-tech hologram screen floated in front of him.

[Ding! Welcome to Player Number 12's Reincarnation Room]

[Players please listen carefully because the system only explains once and there will be no question and answer session]

"Hmmm... So the advert is real..."

"The Reincarnation Room... This is getting more and more interesting..."

Rio looked normal on the surface, but there was a faint joy in him eyes that he didn't even notice.

[The Reincarnation Room has randomly selected 100 Players from Earth to undertake Quest in the anime world]

[Every time the player completes a quest, the player is rewarded with points and rewards that can be exchanged for abilities, bloodlines, items, and all sorts of things found in various anime that can be used in the real world]

[Players must complete the given quest, if the quest fails, the player will be punished]

[Please be careful, dying while on a quest is the same as dying in the real world!!!]

[Each new player will receive a Starter Pack to increase the chance of survival]

[Players will return to the real world after completing quests and players will return weekly to the Reincarnation Room to complete quests]

[The mission will start in 1 hour]

[Explanation ends!]

Rio closed him eyes, digesting all the information the system gave him.

"Is that so.... We are called Players who have to go through the quests given by the Reincarnation Room, not only that, the quests will most likely be so dangerous that they have to risk their lives..."

"Simply it's like a survival game and the Starter Pack mentioned earlier by the system is the initial capital for us to survive..."

"Whoever created the Reincarnation Room, it must have enjoyed our struggles in the anime world..."

"But why anime? Why not western movies, novels, legends, mythology or something else?"

Not finding the answer to this problem, Rio decided not to think about this. He would not be able to comprehend the mindset of the existence that created the Reincarnation Room.

"Let's see what abilities I got from the Starter Pack..."
