“Oi!
Kid, what are you standing there for?
Buy an appa or not?” The rough shout pulled Kenma back to reality.
Hearing the commotion around him, he was momentarily dazed and unable to snap out of it.
‘My head hurts a bit.
Wasn’t I just playing soulslike games at home?
How did I end up on the street?’ Seeing Kenma’s dazed expression and how he stood completely still in response to the shout, the appa store owner couldn’t help but think, ‘What is this guy doing?’ “Oi!
Kid, are you buying or not?
Appas!
Appas!” Kenma finally heard clearly what the middle-aged man in front of him was shouting, his focus returning.
“Forget about the appas, I don’t plan on eating any for now.” He still wasn’t quite clear on the situation, but he somehow felt something was off.
Hearing that this person had no intention of buying appas, the appa store owner laughed out of anger and impatiently waved his hand.
“If you’re not buying, get lost!
Don’t affect my business!” Kenma casually found a place to sit down before starting to look around at the surrounding environment.
If he remembered correctly, his memory from the previous second was still playing Devil May Cry at home, and just in the blink of an eye, he had arrived at this place.
Sitting on the steps and observing for a few minutes, a drop of sweat dripped down Kenma’s forehead.
‘Wait!
Why does something feel a bit off?’ Running on the main road were no longer cars, but creatures resembling miniature dinosaurs, with wooden carts tied behind them.
The pedestrians around were even more absurd: furry beastmen, unknown humanoid creatures, and even humans with beast ears on their heads.
‘This…
isn’t this fucking another world?!’ That appa seller from earlier looked so familiar.
Realizing this, Kenma quickly turned his head, casting his gaze toward the owner who was still pitching appas to customers.
That was a weathered-looking middle-aged man, but his robust physique and green hair gave him a somewhat unforgettable look.
Discovering that the features matched his impression so closely, Kenma could hardly hold it together anymore.
‘Isn’t this the appa-selling guy from the beginning of Re:Zero?
Did I travel to the Re:Zero world?!’ Right at that moment, Kenma cast his gaze downward, and his body instantly stiffened.
‘I don’t remember ever buying a yellow and black tracksuit.
Could it be…’ Kenma quickly stood up and came to a puddle.
Looking at the reflection on the water’s surface, his hanging heart finally died.
Kenma in the water’s surface was wearing a yellow and black tracksuit, with a pair of somewhat fierce-looking inverted triangular eyes and short black hair.
‘Isn’t this Natsuki Subaru, the protagonist of Re:Zero?!’ After another minute, Kenma accepted reality.
The current status quo was very simple.
He had transmigrated into Natsuki Subaru, who was already a transmigrator—equivalent to a double transmigration.
Good news: this body was much stronger than he thought, and he could clearly feel that it was frequently exercised.
Bad news: he had overwritten Natsuki Subaru’s account, and Return by Death might no longer be there.
Natsuki Subaru’s physical talents could be described as trash in this world.
Not only were the magical gates in his body extremely fragile, but even his swordsmanship talent was very weak.
In this perilous world, the only thing he could rely on was the Authority of Return by Death.
But Satella, the Witch of Envy, the save-point creator behind Return by Death, loved Natsuki Subaru, not him.
Therefore, Kenma dared not guarantee that he would still possess Return by Death.
Since this point was confirmed, it was time to run away.
Kenma felt his pockets and noticed that there was nothing inside, making the heavy stone in his heart sink even further.
‘Natsuki Subaru brought instant noodles, potato chips, and a phone right at the start.
Why the fuck don’t I even have beginner items?!’ Screw it, one’s life comes first.
Without confirming whether he could return, he had no intention of meddling in Emilia’s affairs.
If he ended up being farmed as a mob by Bowel Hunter Elsa, it wouldn’t be funny at all.
As for why he was in such a rush to run away, the reason was very simple.
Without his participation, after following the clue of the insignia into the slums, Emilia would most likely be killed by Elsa.
By that time, a certain creature would come out screaming to destroy the world.
Although there were powerhouses standing at the peak of the world like Reinhard in this city, there was no guarantee whether he could hack Puck to death in the first instance.
If Reinhard failed to kill Puck immediately, then if he himself stayed in this city, he would most likely be caught in the crossfire of the other party’s anger and miserably frozen to death.
Time to run.
Whoever wants to meddle in the original plot can go do it.
Kenma, with empty pockets, stopped two passersby, asked for the road out of the city, and walked straight toward the distance while inwardly complaining.
‘I’m a transmigrator who overwrote another transmigrator’s account, after all.
Is there not even a cheat?’ The next second, a system prompt interrupted his inner rambling.
[Ding!
Detected strong resentment from the host, the system has been activated.
Please choose whether to accept.] “Hm?!” Kenma, who was still hurrying along just a moment ago, froze in place, a smile curling up at the corner of his mouth.
‘I knew it!
As a double transmigrator, a system is standard equipment.’ ‘Activate!’ [Ding!
Congratulations to the host for activating the system.
Binding is now successful.
Please view the system-related content yourself.
You can check the character panel by issuing commands in your mind.] Accompanied by Kenma’s command, a blue data panel emerged in his pupils.
[Name: Isoyama Kenma] [Gender: Male] [Strength: 9 (Normal adult male is 5)] [Speed: 7 (Normal adult male is 5)] [Defense: 7 (Normal adult male is 5)] [Spirit: 10 (Normal adult male is 5)] [Magical Talent: Extremely Weak] [Swordsmanship Talent: Mediocre] [Passive Skills: Avenger, Return by Death, Crisis Mitigation] [Evaluation: If placed among a group of ordinary people, you would be a very powerful existence, but placed in a chaotic other world full of monsters, you can only be considered a total weakling.] After reviewing his panel, Kenma felt somewhat emotional.
If it were only in the real world, his panel data would be enough to become an athlete, but unfortunately, this was another world.
Speaking of which, what do these two skills mean?
With a thought from Kenma, a new blue panel appeared, and the detailed descriptions of the two skills quickly unfolded.
[Avenger: After each Return by Death, the host will gain one free attribute point, which can be used to buff different attributes, including magical talent and swordsmanship talent, or used for system gacha.] [Note: When it is detected that the host commits suicide actively, free attribute points will not be obtained.] [Crisis Mitigation: Sub-skill of Avenger, can reduce the host’s pain by 90%.] Holy shit!
It’s even a combined skill!
Looking at his three passive skills forming a conbination, Kenma smiled.
Shouldn’t I die a few hundred times first, and then wildly add stat points?
Let’s do it!
