Reincarnated as a Son of the Sword Saint and the Sage

(I think I missed something. )

I pondered as I was thinking something important has missed. I look at my legs again and remember what happened to me a while ago.

"That right! I died from that accident and lose my legs."

On my way home, I rode a taxi and it sandwiched between the bus and the died on the process. It was the worst experience I encountered in my whole life.

"Oh my, look like you already awake."

I startled at sudden female voice resonating the white area. I begin scanning the room and find nothing.

"Ah, excuse me but, where am I?" I ask to the voice as I look around.

"You are in a place where the souls are being judged and reborn again." reply the voice.

"Souls?"

I looked again the room again and find nothing again. I could not find anything like soul but only me.

"Look like you are wondering why are you alone here. It is because this is an isolated room for chosen souls like you."

"Me? A chosen soul?" I ask again.

I am a soul? Did I really died a in that accident ? In that case, did my soul got here because I was chosen to reincarnate just like in the Isekai novels I read?

"Yes. Once every five hundred years, a soul got chosen to experience living in the another world."

As a thought, I really get a chance to live in another world. This means that I will get a brand new life.

"You are rather calm than I thought." the voice asked.

"Um, I was shocked at first but if it was really true that I died, then there\'s nothing I can do about it."

"In that case, I will introduce myself."

After the female voice declared that, a bright light shine in front of me. The lights are so bright that I covered my eyes with my both arms.

When the lights subdued, a single beautiful woman appeared. She wore a white dress that often see to a goddess in a typical Isekai novel. Something like a silver colored tiara is on top of her shoulder length, wavy golden blonde hair.

Appearance-wise, she looked like a woman in her early twenties except for one thing. She had three pairs of pure white feathered wing on her back. She looked like a seraph angel but not the biblically accurate one.

"My name is Prima, the goddess of the world you\'ll be reincarnating."

The goddess, Prima, introduced herself to me, an average normal high school boy, in a gentle voice.

"T-thank you for having me, Goddess Prima." I reply in trepidation as I stand.

"No need to be nervous, you know?"

"Y-yeah."

I am not confident having a conversation with an opposite gender as the other party. I immediately get nervous when a girl started a conversation. Maybe because I have no woman in my life aside from my mother.

"Well, let\'s get to the main topic. You were chosen as the one who get to be reincarnated in my world. My world is a world of sword and magic and have a levelling system. There are monsters that roaming all over the world. So you had to be powerful to survive."

Magic?! So I will able to use magic in that world? Isn\'t that amazing? Having magic can makes life easier, yes?

"Can I get special powers as a perks in reincarnation?"

"Yes, of course. You have a right to choose any skill or power you like as a privilege."

"I see." I said while nodding.

So I can choose a skill or power that I want.

"Do I have a mission to fulfill for? Like defeating a Demon Lord or protect the humanity from getting destroyed?"

Getting reincarnated means having a responsibility, right? It will be a pain in the ass if a have to the whole big world from destruction. Being a hero required to have a shining shimmering charisma to encourage the masses. It is so bright for an average normal me.

"For that, you have no responsibilities at all. You can be a hero, demon lord, sage, ruler, adventurer, a background character or whatever you want. All you have to do is to live as you desire."

No responsibilities at all. So I can do what I wanted to do that I cannot achieve in my previous life. Maybe a can make a lot of fortune to purchase what I want or create a harem full of beautiful and gorgeous girls.

"If you done what you think, then you can start choosing your desired power." Goddess Prima said then flick her fingers.

The white room suddenly begin to blur and a beautiful and colorful garden. The flower garden were filled with plenty of kinds of flowers like roses, tulips, sunflowers, and many others.

I looked down and saw a pathway made of clay bricks. I followed the road with my eye and saw a white gazebo in the middle of the garden.

"Please follow me." the goddess said.

I follow her behind as she walk toward the gazebo. When we arrive, there was a white round table and two white metal chairs. There were a steamy kettle and teacups clipped upside down on the silvery oval plate.

"Sit down and relax." the goddess said while smiling.

"Then, excuse me." I said then take a seat.

"Have you decide the skills or powers you want?"

"Let see." I said, putting my hand under my chin.

What kind of power do I want? I need to have a strong body first.

"Strength is measured numerical stat, right?"

"Yes. " the goddess answered my question already sip her cup of tea.

"Then, I want a body that has higher growth rate than the average."

"Hmm."

Having higher growth rate means stronger body institution. The more I leveled up, the stronger and powerful I have. I will be stronger than your average adventurer. It like having your pocket monster to hold a power item.

"Next is to have a skill to store items and weapons."

"Hmm."

It is a hassle to carry heavy luggage and weapons while travelling. It\'s a very convenient skill for typical isekai protagonist. It must be nice if I suddenly conjure a weapon in front my enemies and surprise attack them while they say \'Where did that came from?!\'. If it\'s a rare skill, I have to be careful because I don\'t want to stand out.

"I want to have a skill that can create another account in my body where I can distribute my stats freely. Like having a second account in the game."

"That\'s a new ability, so there is no one had that skill in my world." she said as she put her cup down.

Hehe, with this skill, I can transform into multiple persona as I desire. With this, I can become the Hero or the Demon Lord simultaneously. But that does not mean that I want to be either one of them. It\'s a hassle, after all.

"I love to have a power to combine skills so that I can have more powerful skills set."

"Then, as a bonus, I\'ll make them synthesize without sacrificing the skill."

You\'re a true god, Goddess Prima! Without having the skills being integrated after synthesizing, I can combine skills to my heart\'s content. Infinite possibilities can be created only limited by your imagination.

"Next, I want a high level appraisal skill and a way to counter it."

"That was a piece of cake!" the goddess proudly said as she puff her chest.

Not only she is pretty, she is also very kind. What a benevolent goddess this world has. It is good to identify your enemies first before your fight it. Not being able to know the difference between you and the enemy can produce bad results. \'Know your enemy, know yourself, and victory is never in doubt. Not in a hundred battles.\' as the famous Art of War quote says.

"Is there a skill that can plunder the skill of the one I killed?" I ask.

"There is, but it\'s so rare that only a handful of individuals have this skill."

Is that so? Then I can have that appraisal counter to hide it. That skill is so nasty that it gives the user the potential to be the most powerful. Newly acquired(stolen) skills plus the skill synthesizer will be a perfect combination.

"Then I want one." I said.

"Is there anything else?"

"Hmm."

I start thinking of what useful abilities can I have. I have many skills for my body, so what about my items and equipments? Maybe I can enchant my magic spells on something to make it a consumable item?

"I think I want a skill that can enchant an item or weapon."

"Noted~" she said adorably while writing on a notepad.

She is so cute that it makes want to donate all of my fortune to her church. Let\'s give her a prayer every time I visit a church or even a chapel in her world.

"Um, can the body be modified?"

"Yes, it is possible."

"Then, can I parallel mind and have a computer installed in it?"

"What a peculiar ability to have. For suggesting me an unusual power, I have it to connect to your previous world\'s internet, too."

"Whoa! Thank you very much!" I thanked the goddess for her generosity.

Having internet means I can ask whatever I want to know! Having information and watching video tutorials makes my life easier. When I get bored, I can just entertain myself by reading manga and novels and watching my favorite anime online! At night, maybe I can watch explicit videos before going to sleep.

I sense that Goddess Prima glaring at me as if she can read my mind.

"You are thinking something indecent just now, aren\'t you?"

"N-not at all!"

"Is that so? Then, you have to be more careful from now on."

"I understand."

Crap! I almost got caught just now. I forgot that the woman in front of me is a god. There is a chance that she got some mind reading powers. I regain my composure and told her the skills I have in my mind.

"I also want to have my attacks to have guaranteed effects."

"A warrior from one thousand years ago also wish that, so you\'ll be the second holder of that skill."

Rare one, but the anti-appraisal skill can handle that. Successful attacks like defense penetration can be useful against powerful enemies. I can consider this as one of my trump cards.

And what kind of power that I want more? I guess that\'s all I want right now. I just get necessary skills from the monsters and synthesize them. No need to be greedy at all.

"I guess that\'s all I need now." I declare.

"In that case, I\'ll prepare your reincarnation now." she said as she closed her notepad.

Being reborn in another world must be fun. New people, new environment and new experiences. I can\'t be help be feel excited. People in my previous world like my family, friends and many others must be sad upon my sudden departure. I did not even have a girlfriend yet.

"Are you ready now?" the goddess asked.

"Yes."

"Remember, live as you wish and no need to hold back." she said with a warm smile.

Warm white light suddenly envelopes throughout my body. I feel a little dizzy but it becomes more severe and feel like my consciousness gradually fade. I close my heavy eyes as my strength lose.

(That accident must be a blessing in disguise…)
