Chapter 2 – Reincarnation
“Hands down. I’m not finished talking yet. Jinseong, if you interrupt me again, I will cover your mouth like before.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Whew~. I’ll continue. Instead, you must not reveal to the local people that you are reincarnated and any knowledge of your past life. Of course, it is possible to communicate with reincarnated people or use it personally.”
God said that and crossed his arms as if to say he would wait and think about it.
‘Hmm.’
Han Jun thought slowly.
Is the knowledge I know useful over there, and is it worth telling the locals?
As a result, he decided to accept God’s offer.
The only knowledge he had was Korean, English, Korean, social, and administrative law that had nothing to do with the other side, and it was thought that telling these things to the other side in the medieval era would only create confusion.
“How can you only think of things you like?”
Shin says that while looking at Han Jun happily.
Han Jun’s face hardened for a moment as if his thoughts had been read, but he soon convinced himself that it was worth it if he was a god.
I felt a little bad, but it was a benefit because I bought God’s favor.
‘Should I be thankful to Jinseong?’
The reason why Shin’s favorability rating continues to rise so much is probably because of the guy next to him who is telling the truth.
Han Jun slowly turned his head as a thought occurred to him, but immediately erased the thought.
When he saw the guy staring at him with his eyes red, he couldn’t have any good thoughts.
Is a single compliment so energizing?
“I will accept it.”
“Good idea. So where should the stigmata be engraved? If possible, I recommend engraving it in a place that is easily visible to others.”
Han Jun held out the back of his left hand.
When God tapped it with his finger, a tattoo of crossed wings was engraved.
“I’m sorry, but those stigmata will be used to monitor whether you keep your promises. But don’t feel too bad. As I said before, it has a built-in ‘healing’ sacred law and also guarantees your status.”
“What is your identity?”
“Yes, as long as you have the stigmata, you will be protected by the church as honorary priests. Even if you are unlucky enough to be born a slave because you did not choose your family, the church will immediately free you.”
“Do I… Have to take on my duties as a priest?”
“No. Instead, if you commit or repeat excessive evil deeds, the stigmata and points you have earned will be taken back.”
Han Jun’s face brightened.
This is because not only is your status guaranteed without any particular risk, but you can also invest all 300 points into the skill.
“Are you really going to do that? “You don’t need a family?”
“… I already have a family. Although we can no longer meet, I don’t want to create a new family. “If I were to create a new family, that would be…”
“What about that?”
“It was only when I met her beautiful wife, married her, and gave birth to her and her child.”
After saying that, Han Jun hesitated, looking for God’s attention, and then opened his mouth with difficulty.
“God, can’t I say my last goodbye to my family? It doesn’t matter if it costs points.”
“… I’m sorry.”
“… Haha, it’s okay. So don’t apologize.”
Han Jun, who tried to pretend he was okay, immediately lowered his head and looked down at the tablet on his lap.
Water droplets began to fall one by one on the tablet screen.
“Fuck. Don’t be lazy. Because it’s disgusting.”
At Jinseong’s words, Hanjun’s shoulders, which had been slightly trembling, stopped.
Jinseong, who had fired back in anger and later had a regretful expression on his face, hurriedly shrank back from the cool atmosphere he felt from Hanjun and was wary of him.
I had to be careful.
Even if this guy curses or criticizes, if the severity is not severe, he usually just laughs it off, but if it goes beyond the severity and the atmosphere changes like this…
Bang!
He was a guy who waved his fists rather than his words.
Gulp.
Jinseong swallowed his saliva as he looked at the red-hot, trembling fist blocked by something invisible and trying to reach towards him.
Then he turned his gaze and looked at the owner of his fist.
The guy’s eyes were shining blue with death.
Throbbing.
My whole body throbbed, and I remembered the first time I saw those eyes.
Since that day, whenever I look into those eyes, it’s always like this.
‘Fuck.’
Jinseong cursed under his breath and glared at Han Jun with wide eyes.
My pupils kept trying to avoid his gaze, but he gritted his teeth and forced his pupils to remain fixed.
‘There’s no way I was scared. There’s no way I was scared by that other guy!’
Jinseong constantly reflected on his inner thoughts.
Still, my anger towards that guy gradually faded away and something I didn’t want to admit took its place.
“Han Jun, I know how you feel, but stop. “I hate noise.”
At Shin’s restraint, Han Jun glanced at him.
He… Had a very expressionless expression.
So Han Jun calmed down his anger.
No, he had no choice but to sink.
This is because the image of God annihilating himself without any emotion or hesitation, with an expression that did not contain any trace of humanity, clearly appeared in my mind.
“I’m sorry for making a fuss.”
“Okay, okay, if you did something wrong, you should apologize. “He’s so powerful, unlike anyone else.”
When Han Jun got up from his seat, bowed and apologized, only then did Shin erase his expression and grin.
However, as he added the afterword, his eyes towards Jinseong were freezing.
“I’m sorry too”
“It’s okay. Because sincere apologies are not accepted.”
Jinseong belatedly apologized, but he did not accept it.
Because he still thought he had done nothing wrong.
“Now, check the options. If you don’t know or have questions, don’t hesitate to ask.”
Han Jun nodded that he understood and began to carefully examine the options.
‘But is it really okay to put all the points into this skill?’
When he was about to make a choice, he became troubled.
It seemed like I needed to invest points in at least one look.
If you don’t invest your points and are born ugly when you are reincarnated… You will definitely regret this moment for a long time.
“For your information, if you don’t invest points in talent and appearance, you will be reincarnated at the same level you were born with.”
“Does this mean that the original version will remain the same?”
“Okay.”
When Shin nodded, Han Jun felt relieved and clicked on the ability option.
According to his 27 years of experience, his appearance and talent were not that inferior.
Telekinesis, auror, magic, etc.
The abilities that I had only imagined in my head were entered.
However, no matter how much he searched, he could not find the gift that Han Jun had always wanted and thought about every time he left the house.
“Oh… God.”
“Why aren’t there any special abilities related to space?”
“Yes.”
“Choi, you don’t even have any special abilities related to hypnosis!”
The moment Han Jun nodded, Jinseong quickly added.
God looked at Jinseong pitifully, sighed deeply, and then spoke.
“I deliberately left out the abilities related to hypnosis. I don’t want to see the world become a mess. To begin with, in my world, abilities related to hypnosis are not allowed at all. “Only a certain level of fascination is allowed to a very small number of people.”
“There is no fascination.”
“It’s because the reincarnated person who came before you chose it. The number of powerful abilities is limited. Surveillance is also severe. Think you’re out of luck and give up. If possible, give up even getting rid of rice cakes.”
“Come on, it’s a cake!” “I don’t know about that!”
I have to say something that makes sense.
Han Jun glared at the guy who lied even if he pretended and then fell into deep thought.
‘Luck, luck. Now that I think about it, I thought it was bad luck that I died along with that guy. Well, maybe half of it was intentional on his part.’
The word luck kept lingering in Han Jun’s mind.
In the meantime, Shin, who had given up on Jin-seong’s persuasion, answered Han Jun’s question.
“Space-related abilities can only be obtained through other abilities. Among magic, it is like the teleportation spell of space magic.”
“Why?”
“Space is the closest to God’s ability after time. So it is difficult for humans to deal with it directly.”
“Is that so. “Then I’m sorry, but could you recommend a skill specialized for movement, protection, and storage?”
There was no need to focus on abilities related to space.
It didn’t matter what ability Han Jun had as long as he could reach the future he was imagining in his head.
“You picked a pretty unexpected job. A merchant.”
“Is it that unexpected?”
“That’s not true, but usually men your age choose careers that actively involve fighting. Like that guy.”
Shin glanced at Jinseong.
When Hanjun followed him and looked at Jinseong, Jinseong noticed his gaze and covered the tablet with his body, like a student covering an exam paper.
What makes it so great?
He clicked his tongue as if he couldn’t see Han Jun and explained why he chose the merchant.
“I heard there is already a hero. Then there is no need for me to fight. In this life, I want to live according to my name if possible. “I also want to travel a bit.”
“That’s why I chose a merchant.”
Han Jun nodded his head.
Then, he too looked at God with longing eyes, as if asking for an answer to his question.
He wanted to finish his choice as quickly as possible and get out of this space.
That way you won’t have to see that guy anymore.
“Hmm, movement, protection, and storage. The space magic I mentioned earlier is perfect for that. I can assure you that there is no better ability than that. But.”
“But?”
“The reason you want that ability is to avoid danger, defend against attacks, and store supplies. Then, you will have to skillfully use space magic, and that requires a lot of points. No, you have to use everything you can.”
“Um, everything?”
“Okay. That’s why space magic is such a difficult field. Even the best wizards in my world don’t use space magic very often.”
God said that and snapped his fingers.
New phrases were entered like text on Hanjun’s tablet.
Ability – Top level magic (Specialization: Space magic) – 100 points
Talent – Understanding top level magic – 100 points
Superpower – Superlative thinking (characteristic: related to mental power) – 100 points
“… This.”
“These are the conditions for unleashing space magic at the level you want.”
“… Haa~.”
A deep sigh escaped Han Jun’s mouth.
The safe and comfortable path of a merchant was more expensive than he thought.
