Chapter 2

Roca opens his eyes once again, "haah!..haah... I'm.. here again..." he's back into the darkness, "ha...haha...i died again..." his hand trembles in frustration and anger, "GODDAMMIT!!!" he falls to his knees and punches the floor, "...i wonder if they're okay..." Roca looks at a mark that was left by Lyra while he is on the verge of tears.

"oh they're fine, you've done a good job" the appearance of this voice shocks Roca, he then stands up and looks around, "who are you?!, show yourself!!" he screams into the darkness, "hum hum~ i guess you can call me god, since i am the one that sent you to this world, or should i say, gave you a second chance".

"...second chance? i died three times already!!, what do you mean second chance?!" Roca takes on a defensive pose as he is starting to get frustrated, "woah there, take a chill pill will you? haha! well anyway, you did it, you passed the trial!! woohoo, it only took you three tries!".

hearing this Roca gets confused but still irritated, "what the hell do you mean by *trial*?" Roca asks the so called god while folding his arms, "well~ it's to give you your skills!" Roca is reminded of the feeling that he felt when he was with lyra and when he was fighting the bandits, "...was that feeling, you giving me skills?".

"i didn't give you skills, you awakened your own skills, it's the rule for transporting to this world" the god explains, but Roca is still confused, "transporting? wait, does that mean you transported me into this world, without my consent?!" Roca gets agitated, he's looking around to find the god, "do i really need consent from someone who's so pathetic that they would decide to kill themselves? your soul is basically for anyone's taking".

"...i guess... you're not wrong..." Roca feels defeated because what the god said was the truth, he still feels ashamed at himself to even think of going out the easy way after hurting a lot of people in his old life, "so...what now?, am i just, going to be reincarnated again?" Roca asks the god in defeat.

"yes, but first i would like you to look at your status", "and how do i do that?" Roca asks the god, "say status" Roca was surprised at how simple it is, he also thought that that would be a thing that exist here ever since he saw Lyra use magic, since the books about reincarnation that he read before has this system.

"status" a panel that shows his stats appears, it looks pretty average to him, and he also has some skills, "a calm mind..." a passive skill that will make your heart and mind calm even in dangerous and life threatening situations, "so this is why i was so calm... what's next... a hero's resolution..." a passive skill that will strengthen your feeling of wanting to help, protect, or save someone, if your heart and mind thinks it's right and rational, "this probably what gave me the courage to help her".

"... courageous nature" a passive skill that will help you in a fight, helping you do the correct and safe choices even if it has a high chance of dying, and it also boosts your speed and dexterity permanently, "huh there's one more, construction magic?" a magic that allows the user to construct anything using magic, be it physical, magical, or spiritual.

"oh, i gave you that one, I don't know where you got the first skill though, but it's an useful skill right?" Roca seems kind of glad to have these skills, even though most of them are passive skills, "so this construction magic is the reason why i can do those things while i was fighting those bandits huh?".

a couple minutes ago

"I'll be sure to kill you all!" he runs towards them with a sword, the hooded bowman shoots, Roca does a swift side step and throws a dagger at the bowmen, the bowmen grunts and steps back behind the two guys that just got close, "huh? how did i-" Roca immediately blocks an attack from behind and twirls around and sliced the man's head off.

Roca then immediately turns around and stabs the man that was charing at him and kicks him away, "i-i can do this!, i can-" an arrow flies towards him, Roca tries to dodge but he was late and the arrow penetrates his eye, "agh!" Roca wobbles back, he tries to block the incoming attack from the swordsmen but failed.

Roca drops his sword and starts to stumbles backwards, he is now leaning on a tree, he sees with his other eye that someone is going towards the cart, "no!, don't you dare get closer!!" he tries to run towards the guy, but immediately gets stabbed by the swordsmen in the gut, "bugh!...agh...please...at least...let them live...".

the ground under him suddenly glows, a wave of rocks starts to rise quickly towards the cart and closes it while also penetrating the man near the cart and the swordsmen from their bottoms, the sword inside Roca's stomach slowly slides off and falls on the ground, "haah...haah..." he stumbles back and falls on the ground while leaning on a tree, his vision starts to get blurry, his body getting cold, when suddenly everything went dark.

present time

"...this power...is amazing, i still don't get how it works, but all i know is that it's amazing" Roca clenches his arms and looks around once again, "hey god, will i reincarnate as an elf again?" Roca asks the god, "hmmm, no, you'll be a human, since you died as a demon, a beastmen, and an elf, so the last choice you have is a human" Roca seems kinda disappointed at this.

"...when i was an elf i didn't understand what the humans were saying, so if i turn into a human, will i not understand what an elf is saying?" Roca asks with a look of sorrow, he doesn't want to let go of Lyra, he feels as if she is special, and he hopes she feels the same, "hmm... hm? haha! interesting, okay, I'll give you the skill to understand every languages in this world".

Roca's face turns bright, and he smiles, "thank you oh merciful god!" he got to his knees and bows, "yeah yeah, get ready to get transported will you?" Roca stands up with a face full of happiness, "I can't wait to meet you again, wait for me, I'll be there" he thought to himself, his body starts to glow, and then, he was gone, "heeh, no wonder you were single in your last life, your soulmate is in this world, but... you need to choose only one, good luck Roca, and have fun...well i guess polygamy is a thing, but will they be okay? haha! this is very interesting!".
