Instant Death - Volume 5 - Chapter 6

Episode 6 Is that effort just to keep selecting magic from the system menu? (MTL)

　Jolt has memories of his previous life.

　I had a so-called reincarnation.

　Jolt of the previous life has lived a life like garbage.

　When he was young, he was a well-made child who seemed to be everywhere, but his failure to take the high school exam cast a shadow over his life. From there, he became desperate, withdrawn, and by the time he was middle-aged, he was irreparable.

　It's not productive, and it's just a waste that parasitizes parents who aren't so wealthy and keeps annoying them. His public reputation will be like that.

　Of course, the self-evaluation of this kind of person does not match the evaluation of the world. He was about fifty years old and still thought he had the potential.

　The cause of death in Jolt's previous life was probably starvation.

　As I continued to withdraw, I remember that food was no longer delivered before I knew it.

　I didn't receive the food on time, and even if I slammed the floor many times to urge me, there was no reaction. However, I didn't think I would go downstairs to check it.

　For him, who only has a chick-like spirit of opening his mouth and waiting for food to flow in, even that degree was a hassle.

　The second day after the meal did not arrive. He finally lifted his heavy hips. Go out into the corridor and go downstairs. It was the first time in 20 years.

　I go to the living room by dragging my fat and heavy body.

　With the TV on, the mother was lying on the couch curled up.

　The mother I saw after a long time was older than I had imagined.

　Was it so small? I thought so for a moment, but anger that blows away such emotions comes up.

　I was indignant at what it meant to be sleeping carefree without preparing food.

"Hey Baba! What happened to the rice!"

　However, there is no reaction.

　Joruto was horrified as he shook his mother's body. It was too light and unresponsive.

　The family collapsed due to Jolt's withdrawal, and the mind and body of the mother who tried to protect this house alone would have reached the limit.

　Of course, Jolt is completely unaware of his mother's hardships. Even in this situation, the only thing I worry about is my meal.

　And Jolt died.

　Stupid, he couldn't leave the house.

　There was food in the house, but it was over when I ate it.

　I can't go out and work anymore, and even if I ask for something online, I can't even meet people to receive it.

　People would say that they could have done as much as they could to die.

　But Jolt couldn't. It was just that.

　Fortunately, I didn't remember much just before my death.

　If you remember, you would have been suffering from hunger memories when you were reborn.

　I noticed that I was a baby.

　I was confused at first.

　I couldn't see, I couldn't move, and I didn't even know I was a baby.

　I was able to grasp the situation when I was finally able to stand up.

　It was early to be able to understand the language, probably because I remember the previous life.

　This is not Japan, but a world with magic and monsters.

　Born as the third son of a wealthy aristocrat in the Kingdom of Manny, he was named Jolt.

　I was able to know such a thing from the conversation around me.

　Jolt thanked God, who he didn't believe. I thought that I was told to start over here.

　In the previous life, I went wrong with a little carelessness. However, this time I have consciousness and memory since I was a baby, I think it will work.

　I thought so.

　I was lucky to be born into an aristocrat.

　Even in a world with magic, it wasn't for everyone.

　There is a paranormal power called a gift in this world, because it is given by a person and can be used, and a powerful gift is handed down in the aristocratic family.

　Jolt's class was a family fist.

　This is a combat class that can use fighting and magic at the same time, and can handle a wide range of distances from close range.

　Jolt was called a child prodigy.

　Training since childhood and comprehension based on the memory and consciousness of the previous life.

　A smooth sailing life is waiting. Jolt initially thought that way.

　　＊＊＊＊＊

　Jolt was stunned as he crawls on the floor of the martial arts hall.

　It was supposed to be the opponent who licked the floor and looked up at Jolt.

　He brilliantly counterattacks the baptism from his seniors who are not good at it, and makes his position on campus immovable.

　That's what I did when I entered school.

　And it was supposed to be an event that would never happen again among students in the future.

　Jolt was supposed to unilaterally crush the cheeky freshman.

　At the same time as the game starts, strengthen your body with magical power. It instantly goes behind the opponent and unilaterally hurt from the blind spot.

　I intended to do that, but when I thought I was going around, the other person disappeared.

"How did this happen!?"

　I was going to do something about it.

　The opponent is the royal family. Although the difference in status does not matter in the school, I know that overdoing it is bad.

　However, I did it seriously until I narrowed the distance. He wraps around behind him, and when he notices, he's slammed on the floor.

　Jolt must have had an overwhelming advantage.

　I started training before others were aware of it. Instead of spending time as in the past, he has been making efforts every day.

　When I was a baby. Defensive magic that I have been using since I couldn't move yet. It had reached the level of skill and should have been able to prevent anyone's attack.

"Is that effort just to keep selecting magic from the system menu? 』\

　Astonished by the voice that echoed in his heart, Jolt looked up behind him.

　There stands a beautiful boy who can be imagined as a prince.

　Darian, the second prince of the Kingdom of Manny. He is the boy who is attracting the most attention among new students this year.

"It was bad if I was surprised. But I want you to rest assured. Only surface consciousness can be reached by interfering with the system. I can't go deep into my heart. "

　Jolt was even more astonished when he realized that the voice belonged to Darian.

　Even though I don't remember permitting it, I'm unilaterally entering my heart.

"What is the system menu ...? 』\

　Reply in my heart. Then Darian smiled slightly.

"You are a reincarnated person, aren't you? 』\

　Jolt was upset. I have kept it a secret that I am a reincarnated person. No one should know.

"System menu open! Haven't you tried it? 』\

　Of course I have done it.

　And that is my advantage as a reincarnated person.

　There are many things in this world that use gifts. But about magicUIUser interfaceI should have been the only one who could see and operate.

　While others cast spells in a variety of ways, including wands, spells, and camps, you only have to select the spell from the menu.

　No knowledge of magic is required. You can use it just by selecting it, and just by using it, your skill level will increase and your power and accuracy will improve.

"Well, even if you hit the magic many times, your skill level will increase. It may be an effort, but it ’s an effort. ”

　Jolt, who felt like he was laughing at his nose, stood up unintentionally.

　Then turn to Darian.

"The fight behind me was my win, but are you still doing it? 』\

"shut up!"

　I couldn't afford to lose.

　If you lose here, the same thing will be repeated. Once it breaks, it can't stand up anymore. I know it well in my previous life.

　Jolt calls the system menu, starting with rank 4 skillsCollapseDisintegrateI chose the magic of.

　Then select the range.

　Just aiming for Darian, he is the opponent who exceeds the speed of Jolt. It will be easy to be hesitated.

　Then.

　You can target a wide area so that you cannot escape.

　Jolt set a radius of 100 meters around himself as the target range of magic.

　CollapseDisintegrateIs literally the magic that causes collapse. If you shoot it in a ray of light, you can pierce it sharply, and if you expand the range, it becomes a weapon of mass destruction.

　Of course, if you do this, it's not a fuss about killing the royal family. The school itself will collapse, and everything in the area will turn into dust, involving unrelated people.

　But Jolt didn't care.

　I really thought that everything should be messed up if I lost.

"Eat!"

　Magic is activated.

　However, the scene that Jolt expected did not appear.

　Everything was supposed to be dust and turned into a desert. However, nothing has changed in the scenery in front of me.

　The magical power was quietly reduced.

　So magic is activated.

　However, it had no effect.

　There was a possibility that it would not work for Darian.

　It can be prevented by the defense magic of the higher rank, and the power can be attenuated.

　But nothing could have happened. Even if Darian defended, he would not have been able to protect the people and buildings around him.

"I'm sorry, but I analyzed the magic and invalidated it."

　Jolt collapsed.

　I never thought I could do that.

　After all, magic is a skill, and it's just a matter of selecting and activating it.

　I was convinced that analysis and research couldn't make sense.

　Darian approaches, but Jolt remains down.

"Actually, the first time I failed. I was safe, but the school turned into sand. So this is the second time. That's why I didn't disable it so easily. "

　Darian said happily, but Jolt felt that his spine was frozen.

　If that is true, Darian can even manipulate space-time.

　How can you compete with such an opponent?

"Who are you ... you are ..."

"Oh, I'm not that big of a deal. My class is like you are a magic fist classSESystem engineersIt ’s just that. ”

　A class I've never heard of. But vaguely Jolt understood.

　It is the power to reach the system that governs this world.

　It negates the magic and skills that are activated on the system and even manipulates time through the system.

"... Kill ..."

　What can we do in front of such a partner? Jolt sank in despair.

　It's impossible anymore. I realized that it was useless when I started my life over.

"No, if you're going to kill me, I won't do this roundabout thing."

　Darian crouches down and looks into Jolt's face from the side.

"I want you to be my companion. I can't let the reincarnated people go unchecked. "

　Jolt raised his face.

　I couldn't quite understand what I was saying.

"Well, it's understandable that reincarnated people have killed those who are troublesome. But that's also lonely, isn't it? I won't do anything wrong. I'm the one who understands the story. "

　Jolt had no choice but to fall to Darian's army gate.

　　＊＊＊＊＊

　Being under the patronage of an overwhelming presence was much more comfortable than I had originally imagined.

　Darian can easily do things that he can't do on his own.

　While praising it as terrific and unable to imitate it, Jolt recognized it as part of his power as a subordinate.

　This feeling of being integrated with the torrent of mighty power was very comfortable.

　I thought it would be inconvenient to be under Darian's control, but it was no different.

　This is because Darian was the owner of the dexterity of the voice.

　Darian joined the reincarnated people one after another.

　After all, there were many people like Jolt.

　If there is no big difference in the environment after reincarnation, the difference in the previous life will be the difference in power.

　Jolt, who couldn't do anything without any effort in his previous life, would not have been very competitive with other reincarnated people. Others should be doing the effort that Joruto can do.

　Darian gathered reincarnated people, and the group eventually became known as the Invincible Corps.

　It's not about seeking power. If it's power, Darian alone has more than enough.

　I wasn't sure what the purpose was.

　Although he is a royal family, he does not seem to be interested in the throne.

　With that power, I think it would be possible to capture even the demon world in the basement of the royal capital, but Darian never went to the demon world.

　He says that the demon world is already a part of the lives of the common people, so it is not desirable to change the status quo. I was just saying that if I went, it would be easy to seal the demon world.

　Then, what he was doing was a rehabilitation of the country.

　It's common for royalty to go out here and there in this country, but it's rare for them to go out all the time.

　Travel around the country, hear suspicious incidents and rumors, and rush to resolve them.

　It seemed to Jolt that he was looking for something.

"Recently, there have been many cases where half-demons have been robbed."

　One day, Darian noticed a half-demon robbery case.

　If it's one or two things, it's not enough for an invincible corps to travel.

　The half-demon is nothing more than a thing, and although its owner is generally an upper class above the aristocrat, it is just a theft case. That degree should be resolved by the parties.

　However, the story is different when it comes to consecutive robbery cases by the same offender. Moreover, it seems that there is a vampire among the criminals.

　It would be difficult for a mere human to solve this case. Darian was necessary for such an incident.
