"You're ROB, aren't you?"

"Yep."

"And I'm going to be reincarnated."

"Yep."

"Into a fictional world that I have knowledge of."

"Yep."

"Alright, any catches?"

"None."

"Which world?"

"Your choice."

"Any wishes?"

"Three, an OP one, a mediocre one, and a lame one."

"Do I automatically get to keep my memories?"

"Nope."

"Then my lame wish is to keep all my memories."

"That's doable."

"Also, how about my appearance and stuff?"

"It's free, you can customize it yourself."

"My family background?"

"Randomized, you aren't allowed to pick."

Hearing this, I finally grew silent, stopping my onslaught of questions as I thought about my next moves.

First was the issue of the world, as that was what would decide the wishes that I asked for.

After thinking about it for a while, I thought that TAPOV would be the best world, just because it was about average in terms of danger level, meaning, I could have fun when I wanted, not being bored by a stale life, and I could also survive most things, as the world didn't kill that many extras like in other worlds.

"I'll choose The Author's POV as my world."

"That's doable, so now, how about your wishes?"

"Is a 5 star manual considered an OP wish or a mediocre wish?"

"It's just a mediocre wish, don't worry."

Hearing this, I was pleasantly surprised.

After all, although Ren knew about many opportunities in this world because he wrote it, he never mentioned any of them other than the ones that he actually got, so I would be left in the dark here if I didn't reincarnate with a manual or something.

I mean, I could always steal his opportunities, but that would just invite a host of problems as, again, he had way more information about the world than me, even though I was a reader, because I was someone that only knew the main storyline, and not much else.

Also, I had stopped reading in the middle of the Elf tournament arc, waiting for chaps to stock up, so I hadn't even finished the novel before I died.

The last thing I remembered was something about how Ren was actually a regressor or something like that.

Anyways, back to the task at hand, I voiced out what I wanted to be in the 5 star sword art.

"In the first stage, the man and his sword become interchangeable. Here, even a blade of grass can be used as a lethal weapon."

"In the next stage, the sword resides not within the hand, but in the heart. Even without a weapon, the warrior can slay his enemy from 100 paces."

"The ultimate ideal is when the sword disappears altogether, the warrior embraces all that is around him, the desire to kill is gone, only peace remains."

(A/N: Translated from the script of one of my favorite movies, "Hero", starring Jet Li.)

"Oh, a mighty fine sword art that I have to make here, give me a second, and the sword art will be finished."

"..."

"Here you go, I present to you the "Nameless" Sword Art."

Hearing this, I once again fell into a deep silence, as I pondered what I wanted my OP wish to be.

"For my OP wish, I want to make it so that I can make myself noticeable to no one, no entity in the novel can see me if I will it."

"That's pretty OP, but welp, that wish will be granted."

"That's all, I can go now, right?"

"You haven't customized your appearance yet."

"I don't need to, just mix it up and randomize it."

"Alright, off you go."

Feeling the weight of the darkness engulfing my body once again, I couldn't help but show my true face.

This new life that I would live, I would only live to make myself happy.
