LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 1: A Reborn Purpose
"WAAAAAAAAH"
Kirishima yawns as he wakes up in his bed.
Another day, another tiring shift," he thought.
Kirishima stood up from the bed, put aside his pillows and blanket, then walked toward the toilet to grab his toothbrush and clean his teeth.
While he was brushing his teeth and looking in the mirror, the toothpaste bubbled and spilled onto his teeth. His hair was messy from rolling, tossing, and turning throughout the night. As he...
While he brushed his teeth, he thought about what he wanted to do after his shift in the office.
After he finished, he put aside his toothbrush, pulled out his clothes, and turned on the shower. The warm water immediately flowed, and his body began to relax. He sighed, feeling relieved.
While he was showering, he took the soap from the holder near the mirror and rubbed it onto his body. Bubbles formed as he scrubbed it onto his arms, neck, and other parts of his body. When he was done, he put it back in the holder, turned the shower on again, and watched as the bubbles flowed down over his silky body.
He turned off the shower, grabbed a towel, and washed off his body, rubbing his shoulders, stomach, and hair. He quickly wrapped the towel around his waist, stepped out of the bathroom, and walked to his cabinet to grab his shirt.
As he was dressing, the alarm clock near his bed began to ring. "Tiiiiiing, tiiiiiiiing!" The loud sound echoed through the room. He grabbed a pillow and threw it at the alarm clock, causing it to fall to the ground and turn off.
"What a noise in the morning," he murmured. After getting dressed, he grabbed his bag, turned off the lights in room, and immediately went to the door. He opened it, and the air outside was still chilly from the early morning. The weather remained bad due to the ongoing typhoon.
Then, he unlocked his bike from the steel and rolled the chain lock off. He sat on the bike and thought, "Here we go." He immediately placed his foot on the pedal and quickly rode toward the office.
The road was messy and noisy, and the traffic was long, but Kirishima managed to get past on his bike. He went to the right side, where he usually did, and then relaxed as he rode toward the office. His hair was blown by the wind, and a moment later of Pedaling on the bike, he arrived at the office building. He locked up his bike to the steel and immediately went inside.
"Good morning," the guard greeted, and Kirishima greeted him back. He then walked toward the elevator, tapped the button, and went inside. He tapped "5" before the elevator doors closed. Just then, his boss appeared outside, stopping the elevator to get in.
Good morning, Kirishima," the boss said. Kirishima bowed and greeted him back.
"Good luck, Kirishima," the boss added. "Give your best, Kirishima-kun."
he smiled, but in his mind, he thought, I'm tired of this life, while he's smilling to his boss.
A moment later, the elevator opened, and his boss went to the left, while Kirishima went to the right, where his work station was. He opened his PC and waited for it to start up. As he did, his co-worker greeted him, "Kirishima, good morning! You're always early."
he simply smiled at him, then turned to face his computer and began to focus on what he always did.
His job. is at a call center, where he works long hours, spending 12 hours answering calls from angry customers. He's mentally tired of it, and even though he wants to resign, he can't because he needs to pay his bills and rent.
After a long, tiring day, Kirishima finally finished his job. When he looked outside, it was dark, and he was the only one left in the room. Before standing up, he stretched his body.
"AHHHHHHHHHH, MY BACK! IT HURTS!" Kirishima exclaimed.
Then, he turned off his computer. The lively room from earlier was now a ghostly room, filled with silence.
he checked all the power to make sure everything was completely off, just as his boss had told him before he left.
After that, he closed the door and walked toward the elevator. As he walked, he remembered what he wanted to do next. The thought of midnight snacks popped into his mind.
"VCUTTTTT," Kirishima said, excited. He wanted to buy it and eat it while watching anime at midnight.
As Kirishima stood in the elevator, waiting for the first floor, he thought about other things he wanted, But he couldn't come up with any ideas about what he wanted, since this was what he had gotten used to over the past 5 years since he started working.
When the elevator finally opened, he left and walked toward the exit. He stepped out of the office building, and the outside air was cold, with a strong wind swinging from side to side. While unlocking the chain on his bike, he thought about where he would buy his midnight snacks.
He started pedaling his bike from the outside of the office toward the road. The trucks and cars were gone, and Kirishima smiled because he could now ride his bike peacefully.
While he was pedaling his bike, he thought about something else. He got an idea and quickly pedaled recklessly.
"IS THERE SOMETHING BETTER THAN WORKING?!" He shouted out on the road..
As he pedaled closer to the 7/11 store, he saw an upcoming truck on the pedestrian lane. He also noticed a kid chasing a red balloon, while the parents were not paying attention, too busy scrolling on their phones.
"Don't go, it's dangerous," he shouted, but the kid ignored him, and the mother couldn't hear due to the sound of the cellphone.
Kirishima immediately got off his bike. "What's her mother doing there? What useless parents," he murmured, as he ran toward the kid.
"PEEEEEEEEEEP, PEEEEEEEP!" The sound of the truck horn blared.
and he managed to grab hold of the kid. But when he looked to his right, the truck was near, buzzing closer. Frustrated, he pushed the boy out of the way. but
The truck hit him, sending his body flying backward.
The kid's mother, who had been using her cellphone, heard the sound of the truck but was too late. She had already seen Kirishima lying on the ground, covered in his blood. She ran toward the kid, crying, "I'm glad you're safe."
She didn't know that it was Kirishima who had saved to his son.
He lay on the ground, blood spilling from his body. As he looked at the kid, he saw the mother hugging him. "I'm glad he's safe," he thought, Staring at them.
"Now, what will happen to me?"
"Do I deserve it? Is my life worth it?" he thought, regretting something he hadn't done in his life and remembering his past.
"Well, maybe this is the end of my life. Now I can completely rest and not think about my work," he muttered, as he lay there, feeling the weight of the moment.
The blue screen in front of him appeared.
[YOU HAVE COMPLETED ALL THE NECESSARY REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECRET QUEST 'TO FACE DEATH']

Then the timer started counting down: 15, 14, as time passed.
"WHAT IS THIS? WHAT'S REINCARNATION? WHAT'S HAPPENING? OH SHIT! THE TIME IS RUNNING OUT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS IS ABOUT, BUT IF IT'S TRUE, THEN I'M HAPPY TO GO THROUGH WITH IT," and he selected yes.
[SYSTEM ACTIVATING....]
[SYSTEM ACTIVATING....]
[SYSTEM ACTIVATION COMPLETE]
The system began to move Kirishima's soul into another world.Before Kirishima could even ask a question, he lost consciousness.
A moment later, he heard something in a strange language.
His body was being pulled into something. His surroundings were dark, and he was being pulled into a tight space, like being in a cave. He heard a voice, something he couldn't understand.
A few seconds later, he saw lights from the ceiling dazzling his eyes. He noticed a young woman lying in the bed, with white skin and red hair, struggling. Her lower body was covered in blood, and the surroundings were still noisy, but he couldn't understand anything.
then a moment later he heard something in his thought
[TRANSLATION TO ANOTHER WORLD ACTIVATED]
Then, a moment later, he could fully understand what they were saying.
"You got this! You got this!" a man's said. While his hands were comforting the woman, helping her embrace the pain in her lower body and Healing her.
Then, a moment later, after the operation, Kirishima tried to think about what was happening.
And he immediately thought,
"WHERE AM I??"
"WHAT IS THIS PLACE?"
"I, I, I AM BEING BORN AGAIN... for real?!" He thought
He tried to speak to confirm that he had been reborn, but all that came out was a baby's cry.
Then a few seconds he was sure that he had been reincarnated, and he was happy about the choice he choose, and he thinking about what he wanted to do.
While he was trying to think, a man approached him. He was held, and his body was wrapped in something soft and tight. His body was close to the man's chest, and he was then passed to a woman in the bed.
"Raevhen, honey, what should we name him?" a man asked the girl.
The girl looked at Kirishima and smiled. "Shouldn't you be the one to name him, since he's the boy?"
The man felt embarrassed. "I forgoooooot!" he shouted.
Then Kirishima thought, "He's fooled, didn't he?" questioning what the man was thinking.
"ARIMAAAA!" the man said. His name is Arima, he repeated.
"ARIMA?" Kirishima repeated.
Kirishima looked as if he didn't want the name, but he had no choice but to accept it.
"It suits him, Arima-kun, our baby boy," Raevhen said.
A moment later, a blue screen appeared in front of Kirishima.
A SYSTEM OPENED.
