276 Im Actually a Body-Stealing Reincarnator! (1/2)

Seiji finally finished reading all the detailed explanations of the new spells.

Afterward, he felt that he needed to plan out his evolution… whoops, path for cultivation.

But, before that, there was an important question that required an answer: what type of Spiritual Ability user or Yin-Yang Master should Seiji become?

The answer to this question would affect which spells he learned first. It would also determine the spells he would learn if he had an excess of time and the spells that were unnecessary to learn. Basically, it influenced the order he would learn spells in, much like choosing from a skill tree.

After some consideration, he arrived at an answer. Based on his answer, he planned out his future path.

The first spell that he wanted to learn was [Mana Bullet]!

According to the explanation, this spell could attack both physical and spiritual objects, and ordinary people would be unable to see it. It was quite a practical and useful spell.

The requirements for learning it were similar to the other spells: he had to read the relevant technique manual and practice it.

Seiji wasn't in a big hurry to begin his practice.

He had already practiced cultivating for an entire day, and he'd just spent a considerable amount of time reading through his system's explanations, so he felt like doing something else for a change of pace.

And so he left his room, went to the study, and turned on his computer. He browsed the internet and also logged on to his chatting application…

Time passed just like this.

Seiji took a shower, then watched a few videos before he decided to shut down his computer and go to sleep.

Just as he was hovering his mouse over the ”shut down” button, his chatting application beeped. It seemed that someone had sent him a message.

When Seiji reflexively checked the sender of the message, he froze over in surprise. He blinked to check if he had seen things wrongly.

The flashing message was still from that person.

He didn't see things wrongly.

It was from ”Cat-loving Flying Fish!”

Seiji clicked on the message, causing a message box to pop up.

”Who are you?” Only those few words were written in the message to him.

Seiji looked at it for a while, before he typed: ”I am Seiji Haruta.”

He sent the message. There was no immediate response from the other end, but she didn't log off like last time either.

Seiji patiently waited for a response.

Several minutes later.

Cat-loving Flying Fish sent him another message: ”Liar.”

Seiji responded by typing: ”I'm not lying.”

Cat-loving Flying Fish sent a stream of words: ”Liar liar liar!”

”I'm really not lying,” Seiji replied calmly.

”Seiji Haruta… the person who bears this name couldn't possibly be like you… so you're definitely lying!!”

'She's probably crying… tears must be coming out. She's in pain and discomfort. But she still didn't turn off her computer; she's facing me bravely.'

'What should I say to her? What should I say…' Seiji thought hard about this question.

An apology? That didn't seem like the correct answer. An admittance of his wrongs? Asking for forgiveness? None of those seemed correct, either.

That wasn't what she wanted to hear, nor was it what she needed to hear.

What she wanted to hear was…

Suddenly, a string of text popped up in front of him; his system had given him three choices:

[A: I really am Seiji Haruta, your blood brother.]

[B: That's right, I was lying. I'm actually a perfect stranger.]

[C: That's right, I was lying. I'm actually a body-stealing reincarnator!]

Seiji was rendered speechless by his system. After looking at the options for several seconds, he knew what answer to give her.

It was actually quite simple.

'System, thank you so much for your hint.'

It was just that… what would happen after he said it?

Seiji decided not to think too much about it after some consideration.

He started typing.

”You saw through me.”

”That's right.”

”I was lying.”

”I'm not Seiji Haruta.”

”Seiji Haruta is already dead.”

”I'm just a person who has died already. I took over his body and memories after I reincarnated!”

”My real name is… Seigo Harano.”

That was how it was.

If she didn't want to see ”Seiji Haruta,” then all he had to do was tell her that this person was already dead.

After a long period of silence…

Cat-loving Flying Fish sent him another message: ”I knew it… You couldn't possibly be that guy, nor could that guy possibly be you! Seigo Harano… a nice name.”
