Chapter 2: First come first serve
“sorry”
That’s what I replied to the person who invited me to join them.
“Thank you for inviting me, but I want to do it at my own pace.”
The man looked shocked but didn’t ask any more questions.
I’m not extremely shy, but I find socializing exhausting.
I can’t join groups that have a particularly strong “Positive Vibe”. Nah, I don’t want to.
“Okay, I get it. If you want to join, let me know. Sorry to take up your time.”, and with these words, the man returned to his friends.
“What the hell is that guy’s problem, even though we went to the trouble of calling him out…”
“It’s just disgusting that a sad loner would return my kindness with a no, he’s gonna pay.…”
It was a small voice, but one they clearly didn’t want to hide.
Thank goodness I declined.
I want to explain and say that I can’t really do it, but I don’t have time right now.
When I checked the time limit on the status screen, there were only 5 minutes left.
Everything that could be considered a cheat, such as magic, attack, time, and space, is either (under consideration) or (done). The same goes for production systems.
But I was stuck on one thing.
It’s not a skill, it’s an “element of skill”.
In the same way that “Elements” form the basis of “Substances,” aren’t “Skill Elements” the elements that build “Skills”?
Can you use elements of skill in combination?
Isn’t it better to have a highly versatile skill base?
While thinking, I suddenly looked around and saw that there were less than 20 people left in the space.
Looking at the time limit, there are 3 minutes left.
I don’t have time to think about it anymore.
I decided to choose a skill according to my intuition.
:
・ Healing (done)
・Communication (done)
・Light (done)
・Extortion (done)
:
Not good! Every time I see (done), I just get more impatient.
:
・Brush
・Contact
・Nails
:
Ah, something went through my head.
In manga and anime, there are some restrictions on skills that are too strong or make a skill stronger.
For example, they may consume more MP or have a limit on the number of times they can be used.
”Contact” seems like a good restriction to make a skill stronger.
I didn’t have time to worry about it, so I chose “Contact”.
Oh no. There are two more. I have to hurry.
:
・Thread (done)
・Synthesis (done)
・ Extraction (done)
:
No good. Almost all of them are already done.
Oh wait, that’s right! I’ll search from the bottom to the top. Most people would be looking from the top down.
I quickly scrolled down to the bottom of the list.
Time limit: 2 minutes left.
:
・Trap (done)
・Letters
・Cat
:
An idea flashed in my head.
If the world that begins now is different from what I expected, then I will probably become the weakest reincarnated person in another world.
While everyone else is using their skills and enjoying life, I might as well be “villager A” and plow the fields all my life.
But I decided to bet everything on my idea.
I choose “letters” and went on to look for the last element of skill I needed for my idea.
One last piece.
–Time limit: 1 minute remaining
:
・Concealment
・Breeding
・Change
:
Aggghhhhh….. Some of these elements of skill look really good, but I have to be patient, It’s too late to abandon the idea now.
Last one!
Please come out quickly.
–Time limit: 10 seconds remaining
:
・Correction (done)
・Modification
・iron
:
“It’s time, transition will now begin.”
The words appeared on the status screen and my body was enveloped in light.
The next moment, the scenery changed and I was staring at a ceiling.
Where am I? I looked around.
It was a wooden room of about 10 tatami mats, with one bed on which I was lying down.
It looks like I was forcibly transferred after staying in the room until the time limit was up.
I decided to check the current situation.
