"Hey, have you heard? Liu Kai from Class Five got an A-Class rating in Crazy Stone and earned 3,000 Reincarnation Points!"
"Huh? Seriously?"
"Of course. You should see the people in Class Five now—they're all walking around with their noses in the air, demanding that Liu Yaoxue from Class One give up her spot as the top student in the school."
"Damn, they're that arrogant? They actually dare to challenge my ice goddess!!!"
"Yeah, they're just asking for trouble. I'll tell you, I've got reliable information that Liu Yaoxue got a Summon Skeleton from Legend of Mir three days ago. This isn't some worthless cannon fodder summoned by a Western Necromancer, either. Even the lowest-level skeletons have an F-Class rating. Apparently, five top universities have already offered her special admission without an exam, and I hear one of them is a famous university overseas."
"Man, comparing ourselves to others is enough to drive you crazy. But there's no point envying her. Legend of Mir is a Reincarnation World where even the lowest difficulty is a Normal Grade World. The rewards are rich, but so are the dangers. We'd better stick to grinding in Simple Grade Worlds. At least there's not much risk of dying. We can worry about the rest once our ratings improve."
"Exactly. If you're dead, you've got nothing."
"If only my dad were a billionaire. I heard there's a rich kid at a private school in East Bay District whose old man bought him a Devil Fruit outright. His rating shot up in no time."
"Why don't you try harder, so your kid won't have to complain like that..."
What the hell? Crazy Stone? Legend of Mir? Weren't those the names of a movie and an online game?
Wasn't I supposed to have died in a plane crash? And this body didn't seem to be mine, either. The solid muscles on my lower abdomen were gone, and though I'd been severely nearsighted, everything looked incredibly clear now, even without glasses.
I've been reincarnated!
That was Chen Feng's first thought. Had he died in a plane crash and been reincarnated?
Suddenly, memories flooded into Chen Feng's mind.
This was a planet similar to Blue Star, and the body he now inhabited was also called Chen Feng. He was a high school senior who was often bullied by his classmates because he was timid.
But unlike Blue Star, a place called the Reincarnation Sacred Hall had appeared over seventy years ago. By entering different worlds through the Reincarnation Sacred Hall and completing missions, people could earn Reincarnation Points. They could spend those points to bring things from the Reincarnation Worlds into reality, and any abilities they gained in those worlds could also be used in the real world.
Once people turned sixteen, they automatically gained the right to enter the Reincarnation Sacred Hall. If they went three consecutive months without entering a Reincarnation World, they would lose that right.
The Reincarnation Worlds people experienced in the Reincarnation Sacred Hall were all real worlds. From the memories he'd inherited, Chen Feng discovered that these worlds were actually based on the games, anime, and movies from Blue Star in his previous life.
For example, the three major shonen series: One Piece, Naruto, and Bleach. There were also World of Warcraft, Dungeon & Fighter, and many others.
The Reincarnation Sacred Hall had only appeared a few decades ago, and people were still exploring these worlds. Information about the plots and mission strategies was incredibly valuable.
"Ring, ring..." The bell signaling the start of class rang, and the students who had been gathered together returned to their seats.
The teacher's lesson went in one ear and out the other. Chen Feng knew his luck had finally turned. In his previous life, he'd spent all day cooped up at home playing games and watching movies. The one time he'd gone out to meet someone he'd met online, his plane had crashed.
These Reincarnation Worlds, so unfamiliar to everyone else, couldn't have been more familiar to him.
Knowing the plots meant he could use his advantage to get ahead, no matter what missions he faced, and make the right choices. Once his rating improved, he could land a job at a major company, become a CEO, marry a beautiful woman, and reach the peak of life.
After school, Chen Feng turned down an invitation to get dinner from his only good friend in class. He found somewhere to eat his fill, then went home to wait for the time to come.
The Reincarnation Sacred Hall opened every night at midnight. Getting in was simple: as long as you met the requirements, you just had to think "Enter the Reincarnation Sacred Hall" at the appointed time.
Chen Feng's parents had had him late in life. To give him a better life, they often worked overtime until late at night.
Back in his room, Chen Feng turned on the computer and opened a forum. It was one the previous owner of his body had often visited, and it was called Reincarnation.
"Shocking! The undercover agent in Infernal Affairs is actually him! We were all fooled!"
As soon as he opened the forum, a sensational headline appeared before his eyes. In this world, information about the Reincarnation Space was worth a fortune. Few people were willing to share it for free.
With nothing better to do, Chen Feng clicked on the post. It explained that when entering the Infernal Affairs world, you could choose to join either the police or the gang. The mission in both cases was to find the undercover agent in your own ranks.
The post first summarized the missions for the two factions, then showed a sketch. It was unmistakably a portrait of Sha Qiang. The post was also brilliantly written, analyzing the matter from every angle. Chen Feng found himself almost convinced. If he hadn't known who the real undercover agent was, he would have believed it outright.
Chen Feng opened a few more posts. The wild plot theories and analyses had him thoroughly entertained, and before he knew it, it was midnight.
"Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!" The old-fashioned clock on the wall chimed twelve times. It was time.
"Enter the Reincarnation Sacred Hall." As Chen Feng silently repeated the words, his body vanished from the room.
When Chen Feng came to, he was standing in a vast plaza. People were constantly teleporting into it.
Before him, a three-dimensional figure wearing a hooded cloak appeared. Its face was hidden, and only Chen Feng could see it:
Name: Reincarnation Master
Strength: 8 (10)
Agility: 11 (10)
Constitution: 9 (10)
Spirit: 15 (10)
(Values in parentheses are for an average adult)
Assignable Attribute Points: 0
Life Skills: None
Combat Skills: None
Bloodline: None
Reincarnation Points: 78
Overall Rating: Unranked
Pfft!
Chen Feng nearly spat blood. He was lacking in every area! From his memories, the previous owner had experienced only two Reincarnation Worlds: he'd failed one mission and gotten an E-Class rating in the other. He was a complete loser.
Reincarnation Master was the name the previous owner had chosen for himself in the Reincarnation Sacred Hall. He'd picked such an over-the-top name and still ended up like this. The previous owner had probably been so ashamed that he'd died, allowing Chen Feng to be reincarnated into his body.
The college entrance exams were two months away, and the ratings earned in the Reincarnation Sacred Hall would be included in the exam results. They were also the main criteria universities used when recruiting students. Chen Feng had to raise his rating during his next two chances to enter a Reincarnation World. Otherwise, he might not even get into a technical college.
He'd try a Simple Grade instance first. His life still came first; he couldn't get reincarnated only to die all over again. If that was how it went, he might as well have lived an ordinary life.
