The Spearmaster and the Black Cat

Chapter 2

Episode 2 ~ Character Creation

–Hmm?

I tried to touch my newly appeared body but my hand just passes through .

Apparently it hasn’t materialized .

It’s transparent, But realistic .

It looks like AR technology that exceeds holographic .

There’s another realistic body underneath it .

『Character creation after reincarnation has begun』

Please select race .

As such, A three-dimensional character is displayed .

「It looks like a game… Excellent futuristic type… Is it my own character’s creation?」

I raise my hand to touch the floating item “Race Selection” while muttering to myself with a smile .

In that instant, The surrounding white space is transformed into a huge three-dimensional screen .

From the white space, A world abundant with nature is being generated .

As if drawing a picture on the huge campus .

Unique creatures were being created in succession, Just watching it was delightful .

A wide variety of character species gradually appear in front of my eyes .

When I extend my hand to the character and touch it there is a strange feeling and The information for the character that I touched is displayed in a window .

A realistic 3D image .

Can it still be called an image if you can feel it? Although while I think doubtfully, It moved, The character virtually walked .

~I memorize the sight of it moving in excitement .

When you move the left or right hand the window moves .

This seems to be like a Sci-Fi movie and My hand is like a controller .

Even the subtle touch of a fingertip is taken into consideration .

Even if I order it with my voice, It recognizes it properly and moves .

~Suuu This is realistic .

It surpasses the experience of Xbox One Kinect… . Even wearing the PS4 head-mounted VR display is completely exceeded by it .

Is this the feeling of VRMMO’s in novels?

There is a work which made full use of three-dimensional images in a movie but…

On the screen, Data is transferred and returned in various ways, I choose racial information to select one to examine .

Human Race, Beast, Elf, Half-Elf, Lava Khan, Dark Elf, Half-Dark Elf, Sebari, Sebupu

~Phew . Ogre, Goblin, Mermaid, Gnome, Dwarf, Ancient Dwarf, Half-Dwarf, Draconic and Lizard Man .

Ape Man, Demi human, Giant Bull, Cyclops, Sensible .

Vampire, Dhampir, Kushanan(?) [クシャナーン], Ssali [ソサリー], Lamia, High Elf etc .

So many to choose from, It will take a considerable amount of time…

I continue moving my left and right hands, confirming a racial figure .

Quickly, I move my hand .

Surprisingly there’s also a cockroach race among them .

It reminds me of a manga called Tera- something .

(TN: Terra Formars – thanks uzzi)

「Among these you can choose any race, There’s no need to worry this degree of flexibility is freedom-packed」

I choose Human race to try and The details appear .

I touch again to get more details .

And then .

※Notice※Please Read※

This appeared .

※Attention※

Racial characteristics are incorporated as new permanent skills .

The racial characteristics you are absolute, Although the racial characteristics need to be related to the race, There are a large number of choices .

Not everyone has permanent skills? What!?

The details for the Human race are displayed afterwards .

Race: Human

Average Lifespan: 48~

Racial Characteristics: Crest of Growth

Permanent Skills: None

(TN: Damn… Humans there are pretty short lived and have like no skills eh?)

※There are a variety of tribes in the Human Race .

It is mainly known as the Human Race and It’s said that there are many man-made tribes .

The territory of the Human Race Tribes are distributed over a considerably spacious area, There are Human Race Tribes even in the far distant lands .

But there also exists unexplored land that mankind doesn’t inhabit .

The Human Race who boasts the largest population, Has an aristocratic society with slavery at the core and A monarch such as an Emperor or Empress at the apex .

And when there is a war between countries, A power struggle between royalty and nobility runs rampant within, As a result a civil war develops .

And the country being destroyed because of such a situation constantly occurs .

In large Human cities, There are a number of Guilds, Guilds develop while constantly improving themselves in friendly competition .

It can be said that the Human race’s biggest advantage is it’s freedom of profession choice .

It’s said that the Human race has the favor of 【Skill God Refoto】, Perhaps because there are almost infinite number of fighting professions .

Furthermore, Depending on ones efforts, Ranking up a fighting profession is possible .

It may be correct to say that the diversity is infinite . ※

According to this description, The society is similar to a middle ages from the modern times .

Nevertheless, The Skill God Refoto is the god of employment?

Anyway, For a precious different world reincarnation, Choosing the same Human race is uninteresting .

Next is the detailed information of the Goblin .

I select Goblin .

My character model is limp and Deformed .

The face resembles me a little, But it has transformed into the form of a goblin monster with an ugly face .

「Uha… Ugly… Too realistic」

Race: Goblin

Average Lifespan: 15??

Racial Characteristics: <Strangulation><Seminal Increase Beast><Intelligence Decline><Divine Protection of Todogu Gogu>

Permanent Skills:<Genealogy of Ogre><Goblin Evolution>

※Goblin-Tribes are also scattered in the continent and inhabit as much land as the Human Race .

Also Goblins with different delicate appearances, Shapes and habits exist . Basically there are a wide variety of Goblin tribes in unity . An area is ruled by a monarchy, The ruler of the area is either a Goblin Lord, Goblin King or Goblin Emperor, Depending on the rival male population .

It will probably be similar to the Warring States turbulent period when the militaristic faction develops .

In some areas the goblins, Thanks to a Hobgoblin or High Goblin, Are able to completely exterminate the Human and Demi Human races in a certain area . In some areas there also exists goblin politics .

Most of the goblin tribes believe in Demon King Todogu .

The ecosystem can be spread frequently through breeding, As it is scattered, Their greatest strength is that they can easily spread in anyplace . ※

A Goblin King seems strong .

The politics of Goblins are also very interesting but…

Even so, It’s rejected due to appearance .

Next, I choose a Vampire .

When I choose, The character image changes from a Goblin appearance to a human appearance .

It looks Human in appearance, But the canine teeth are sharp and protruding .

The skin is pale and The eyes have changed to a deep red .

「Red eyes and pale face」

Moreover the belly fat has completely disappeared .

It seems that the entire body’s muscles have been enhanced .

(TN: lol making that buff character)

I try looking at the details .

Race: Vampire

Average Lifespan: ??

Racial Characteristics:＜Secretive Demonic Night Race>:<Blood Sucking>:<Undying>:<Shapeshifting>:<Physical Ability Increase>:<Magic Ability

Increase>:<Blood Magic>:<Hyper Intestinal Absorption>:<Solar Flame Body>:<Light Extinguishing Body>

Permanent Skills:<True Shinso Bloodline>:<Demonic Charm Eyes>

※It’s said that the blood-sucking God Rugunado created Vampires, But it’s not for certain .

In the Human race society, Vampires are ridiculed by the Humans and demi-humans as a “Demonic Race” and Are always a target of oppression by them .

They’re not complete immortals, But as long as their weaknesses aren’t targeted, They are an immortal undead .

If you can manage to use <Blood Magic> you can use the shapeshifting ability to change your appearance .

Their greatest racial characteristic would be the physical ability and magic ability increase, Compared to the ordinary human race they have overwhelming physical abilities and magic abilities .

However, If they do not ingest blood, Plasma deficiency will lead to mummification .

When they mummification is completed, Capability declines extremely and The appearance changes entirely to that of an elderly man or woman .

However, Mummification doesn’t destroy the body .

Vampire society is formed secretly underneath human society .

『At any rate, The blood of the human race is a gourmet food… The people who intend to destroy us, We’ll baptize in sharp fangs and blood as a demonic race of darkness』

(TN: Oh no! I feel my chunni acting up again…)

With those words it’s a scary description .

But it’s a demonic race? That’s good, I like the dark feeling .

With the shapeshift ability, Can you really change your form?

To try, I touch .

※Shapeshift Ability※

Using <Blood Magic>, It can transform itself various creatures of darkness such as bats and crows, The amount of transformation creatures increase with growth

It was displayed in three-dimensional characters as expected .

I also touch the Secretive Demonic Night Race .

※Secretive Demonic Night Race※

Darkness magic can be used to absorb darkness attributed attacks .

Oh~ Darkness attribute magic absorption? Nice .

Next I try blood sucking .

※Blood Sucking※

Sucking blood has a weak hypnotic effect on the partner, Personal physical ability is slightly raised and Magic ability is slightly raised, However, After a day

passes without sucking blood, Capability slightly falls, After seven days pass without sucking blood, Mummification gradually occurs .

Oh…

Although abilities rise, Sucking blood is something like a weakness?

Next I touch hyper intestinal absorption .

※Hyper Intestinal Absorption※

The intestines consume all nutrients and neutralize toxins, Also Magic Energy absorption rises significantly .

Having their own enteric bacteria, Vampires able to adapt to all environments .

Wow, They have great intestines .

I also touch the likely weaknesses .

※Solar Flame Body※

When in contact with sunlight and ultraviolet light, It spontaneously ignites, After bathing too much, The body turns to ash . The Undying ability is unrelated .

※Light Extinguishing Body※

Upon receiving a light attribute attack, The portion which is attacked burns, If it is a powerful light, The entire body is annihilated . The Undying ability is unrelated .

There is also a complete weakness with these characteristics .

Next I touch permanent skills to check it .

※Permanent Skills※

This is a skill that is constantly invoked .

It continues to be activated lasting for eternity .

I see, This is like a passive skill commonly found in games!

Next, I touch True Shinso Bloodline, To check it .

※True Shinso Bloodline※

Charm and Mental strength + Revision .

When the blood of virgins is acquired, The power of the True Shinso Bloodline is released, Which is said to have been produced by the Blood-sucking God Rugunado .

After releasing, Skill fusion integration is stimulated, The integration has two steps, In which Charm and spiritual value is increased and you acquire an exclusive skill .

※True Shinso Bloodline※

~Huh

The power of the True Shinso is released after drinking the blood of virgins .

To try and drink the blood of virgins seems difficult to me .

(TN: I wanted to write “Seems hard to swallow” but…)

I check the following .

※Demonic Charm Eyes※

Charms a person with a lower spiritual level or under certain conditions .

This is not absolute, When conditions overlap, Rate of success rises .

Intelligence, Charm and Mind are related .

When looking at it this way, Vampires have a lot of weaknesses, But also high abilities .

Vampire or… . .

「This race seems interesting, It’s one of the candidates . 」

Next, Let’s see Dhampir .

My floating three-dimensional character starts changing somewhat .

The fangs have disappeared, As well as the pale skin .

The appearance is entirely similar to a human .

As for the surplus fat disappearing and the thin muscular body, It reminds me of my high school prime .

The muscles seem to be building up the same as the vampire .

Details…

Race: Dhampir

Average Lifespan: ??

Racial Characteristics: <Secretive Demonic Night Race>:<Blood Sucking>:<Undying>:<Physical Ability Increase>:<Magic Ability Increase>:<Hyper

Intestinal Absorption>:<Light Extinguishing Body>

Permanent Skills: <True Shinso Bloodline>:<Demonic Charm Eyes>

※The Dhampir is more rare than the Vampire .

The creature that inherits the properties of both the Vampire and Human race .

It’s called a Half Vampire or Dhampir .

The restriction of blood isn’t different from a vampire .

It is immortal, But easily assimilates into the human race because it’s semi-human .

However, They’re targets of suppression and persecution by the Human race in the same way as the Vampire, They can also walk during the daytime .

Because they have the same appearance as the Human race, Their real nature is rarely discovered . ※

「Oh…」

It’s like the Vampire, However shape shifting is impossible, There are also very few weak points .

Dhampir is good but…

I liked the Vampires from older movies .

But blood is a problem .

I don’t want to attack ordinary people and take their blood .

It would damage my conscience .

Or would my “Heart” change?

In order to live, I may change mentally .

I check other races while having sweet wishful thinking .

Well, After all I would like to be in contact with other people and Would also like to be special .

This is the only thing I have .

If it means to stop being human…

My free life has begun anew, I don’t mind it particularly .

I’ll live sucking blood, Psychopathic Cheers!

I choose the Dhampir with no lifespan .

And touch the OK button .

When it touches .

My realistic three-dimensional model revolves in place and moves, I make a bow .

Below it “Dhampir race was chosen” is displayed .

Also, Characters of other races which have been displayed three-dimensionally, Like a waterfall cascade down and Disappear in sequence .

While the characters cascade down, The following characters floated .

※Next please select four extra skills※

※Note※Please read※

The skill is special, Which makes it an extra skill .

It is a specific skill that is extremely rare .

Furthermore, An extra skill has an affinity .

There are times when it chains with another skill and other extra skills, Causing multiple links and Will evolve with growth, You’ll also have to learn special skills to derive variations

Because just possessing even one extra skill, Makes you a very rare existence, Please think and act accordingly .

However, The precious extra skill is only a story in “The world of a person”

There is an infinite variety and great diversity in the world .

However since you don’t know the world of reincarnation schedule, Please learn it .

(TN: I’m lost here, Help?[ 但し、貴重なエクストラスキルも、それはあくまで“人の範囲”での話です。　千差万別、多種多様な世界。])

※There is a time limit※

※Please select the extra skill within 15 minutes※

「There’s a time limit…」

After the message, The character is displayed like a waterfall again .

A digital clock was displayed in the right corner .

And, All the skill names are displayed .

「In any case, Extra skills are pretty rare, Can I choose four from the beginning or…」

Oh, It’s for life after reincarnation, If I’ll benefit from it I’ll choose .

From the large amount of Skill names displayed in three-dimensional space, I quickly select skills I may be able to use, I chose quite a lot .

Language Comprehension, Baptism of Meridia, Crest of Light, Wave of Seputon, Lineage Mark of Ashura, War Cry, Cerebral Demon Spine Revolution, Keen Eye of Schaffer, Divine Protection of Holy Spirit, Tears of Aria, Tsutomu’s Torrent, Crest of Fire, Gaia’s Dawn, Demon Slaying Mind’s Eye Technique, Mind’s Eye of Illusions, Immortal’s Magic Eye, Hand of the Lord of Wind, The Miko of Arts, Magic Revolution, Chain Factor, Bonfire of Nokuta, Wings of Repentance, Charm Bond Solution, Clairvoyance, Star of Rebura, Lorelei’s Carved Seal, Demon Eyes of Boshiado, Persona of The Mad King, Founder of Super Technique, Stinger of Semia, Meteor Shower of Uraniri, And so on .

(TN: It’s amazing how many motrin I’m gonna need after this ^^)

Two minutes have passed .

Most of the contents haven’t even been seen .

There are more to choose from, But they are countless and It takes time to see details individually .

(TN: Two minutes!? That was more like 15 minutes of trying to figure out just what the hell you were saying! >_<)

「To choose from among these…」

First, Will be “Language Comprehension”, Oh details…

※Language Comprehension※

Raises thinking ability, To the point where you can understand the laws of a language and have a sense of understanding for the characters . It’s not absolute, But you have an understanding to a degree . Such as being able to write, If a vocal cord matches, You may be able to speak .

It says, Apparently .

「It’s a translation skill, I’d like to be able to speak to non-humans…」

I choose Language Comprehension as the first one .

Then, The number of extra skills displayed decreased a stroke .

Every time you choose, Candidates disappear?

Then, Is the selection the remainder from a different guy?

Then the next is, This? It’s detailed…

※Crest of Light※

An emblem of a cross is carved into a part of the body with a spirit of light . Absorbs and nullifies Light attribute magic . Also improves mental tolerance, Which prevents deep mental pollution . After it’s triggered automatically, A bell is sounded and purification is promoted . After growth, I learn an intrinsic light skill under certain fixed conditions

Oh?

Accidentally triggering it perchance?

The weakness of the light attribute, Which is one of the weaknesses of the Vampire race is eliminated, By a selection I made on a simple whim .

「I choose Crest of Light」

The moment I decide, The floating character looks like it’s tinged with light .

And the cross emblem had appeared on my left chest .

It’s a clean white cross emblem .

It’s just around the heart .

I see my status .

Oh, Incredible .

Isn’t the race name also different?

Details .

Race: Lucivault

Average Lifespan: ? ?

Racial Characteristics:<Torrent of Light Darkness>:<Blood Sucking>:<Undying>:<Increase Physical Ability>:<Increase Magic Ability>:<Hyper Intestinal Absorption>:

Permanent Skills: <True Shinso Bloodline>:<Demonic Charm Eyes>

Extra Skills: <Language Comprehension>:<Crest of Light>

※Has a completely human appearance, However it’s a new race that is descended of the Demonic Vampire race . Lucivault will become a rare endemic race . No racial relations, As soon as the body’s magic energy exceeds the tolerable amount the race will be only one step away from evolution .

The degree of race evolution changes with how the Lucivault spends this period of time . ※

With light magic, It has become a new race .

Furthermore, Race evolution?

The “Light Extinguishing Body” racial characteristic disappeared .

The weakness has disappeared as expected .

Moreover I can now use the inherent light attribute magic “Crest of Light”…

Is it because it’s a new race that “Secretive Demonic Night Race” is missing…

“Torrent of Light Darkness” was newly added instead .

Promptly, I touch “Torrent of Light Darkness” .

※Torrent of Light Darkness※

It has the attributes of light and darkness in the soul and Expresses the torrent of the soul . Darkness and Light magic become practicable . Absorbs and nullifies Darkness and Light attributed attacks . Spiritual resistance slight rise, Abnormal condition resistance slight rise . However it becomes easy to influence the spirituality of light and darkness .

~Oh Light and darkness magic, It absorbs the light and darkness Wu~?

I’m also interested about the weakness like, “Easy to influence”, But oh well .

「That extra skill is amazing…」

This has changed, I wonder while touching “Blood Sucking”

※Blood Sucking※

Sucking blood has a strong hypnotic effect on partner, Every time blood is sucked ability slightly improves .

After five days pass without sucking blood, Abilities slightly fall .

After fifteen days have passed without sucking blood, Mummification gradually begins .

Blood Sucking was also evolved, As expected .

Period without sucking blood has extended from three days to five days, The weakness has also been eased .

I had hoped that it disappeared secretly, But it doesn’t seem to go so easily .

(TN: Dude doesn’t wanna be a true vampire, then he doesn’t even wanna suck blood, Tch picky bastard might as well just be human)

But the weakness to light has disappeared .

Just extra skills .

Without complaints the second has been decided as this .

After this seven minutes have passed .

The extra skills displayed decreased .

I choose from among them .

I was interested in the name “Chain Factor”

The details are being shown .

※Chain Factor※

A chain mark is carved into the part of your body where you choose and It’s possible to shoot a chain out of the place of the mark .

By continual use of the chain it grows along with the person’s growth .

The chain’s properties are similar to “Steel” but the substance is made out of “Spirit”, Without this material the <Chain> wouldn’t be able to exist .

In addition, Under the influence other skills and growth, A variety of trait changes can occur .

When it’s acquired, “Chain Handling” the fighting profession, Is also automatically acquired .

「Nothing is unable to be penetrated? This is also good」

For the third extra skill I quickly choose “Chain Factor” .

By the way, I put the chain mark on the wrist of my left arm .

Oh?

When the chain mark was added to my left wrist the cross mark on my left chest changed .

Many chains are entangled around the cross .

「It’s detailed…」

Ten minutes have passed, There is only five minutes left .

Then it came to mind, Immortal’s Magic Eye .

This seems to excel in remote manipulation, Such as intervention, Using Charm naturally aligns with this .

When I touched, The details were written .

(TN: No they weren’t, Don’t lie)

I’m interested, But it’s rejected .

As for the skills remaining…

「This is…」

The Cerebral Demon Spinal Cord Revolution details .

※Cerebral Demon Spine Revolution※

First, A separate critical period is caused indefinitely . Significantly raises intellectual power and judgement, Autonomic nervous system and Sympathetic nerve, It develops and exercises the parasympathetic nerves by rearranging them abnormally in a good way .

The benefits for the motor system in general because of the multiple corrections are enormous .

Permanent skill <Innate Magic Talent> will be added automatically .

When I touch Cerebral Demon Spine Revolution,

※Cerebral Demon Spine Revolution※

→？？？

??? That is, In the future, I can memorize anything I want?

??? Even if I touch there is no reaction .

It seems compatible with Physical ability enhancement .

What is this “Critical Period”?

I understand the parasympathetic nerve . When I’m stimulated it operates .

As for the autonomic nervous system, it is directly connected to the sleeping and living rhythm . It’s related to stress, Or it’s supposed to be .

With this skill, Can stress be reduced?

Going to a different world, The tough mental demand is inevitable .

Lastly, I choose this .

The time limit had been reduced to three minutes .

I touch the OK button .

When I do, My character model expands .

The status has been displayed, So I check it .

Name: Shuuya Kagari

Age: 20

Title: Different World Wanderer

Race: Lucivault

Fighting Profession: Chain Handling .

Strength: 3 . 0

Agility: 4 . 0

Stamina: 3 . 0

Charm: 7 . 0

Dexterity: 5 . 0

Extra Skills: <Language Comprehension>:<Crest of Light>:<Chain Factor>:<Cerebral Demon Spine Revolution>

I finish confirming my status .

As “Innate Magic Talent” has been added, I check it .

※Innate Magic Talent※

Fighting Profession + Revision . Growth revision of overall ability . Increased magic absorption rate .

It’s that little . Growth revision? I wonder what Fighting Profession + Revision is?

※Fighting Profession + Revision※

Proximity and magic, Revision increases growth rate of two Fighting Profession systems .

Hehe, Even If I touch there’s no explanation, But this appeared .

Rather than all Fighting Professions, Is it only two?

Still, It quickly grows, I’ll learn it .

Lastly, “The size of the character model can be modified” Was displayed .

There doesn’t seem to be a time limit .

I try playing with it immediately .

Oh? Uha! Such a thing…

I can even play with that size .

An, To tamper with… This, Big D**k, This is unreasonable

I reset it to normal size

(TN:… . )

「Gohon」

(TN: Gulp?)

Although nobody saw, What is this strange feeling…

To tamper with that size, What would happen?

I think it’s okay, I’d have to be pretentious .

But, For who do I bluff…

Moving my hand I increase my height and Reduce my width, After all, I return to the same height as in the beginning, Finally I increase my height slightly .

Incidentally, My original height was 179 centimeters .

Therefore, 180 Centimeters has long been desired .

With this, It’s completed .

「I’ll go with this」

I don’t know if the numerical value of Strength and Charm is high or low, But is the world similar to a game?

And the 20 year old has become…

It seems to have regenerated to 14 years old .

After everything is decided, 『Begin reincarnation?』 Is displayed three-dimensionally .

The characters “Yes” and “No” float below it .

Yes or No .

I silently touch “Yes” .

In addition, A character appears .

『After reincarnation, Please check your pocket』

The moment the character was displayed, The space tears .

A huge whirlpool of darkness is visible ahead of the tear .

「Huh, My pocket-」

My words disappears half way into the air .

It sucks me into the whirlpool of darkness, While I shrink and constrict . Also the white space all around is sucked in and disappeared .
