Reincarnated Into a Shounen Anime-Chapter 49: Cute World Spirit

Alex blinked his eyes, adjusting to the sudden change. He is inside a white expanse that stretched endlessly. A black line in the horizon indicating up and down. Alex looked up, infront of his was a massive ball of white light. It was intense. But he could look at it without hurting his eyes. The light itself seemed to be the body of the being hovering infront of him. It looked like a white Star.

Standing infront of it, Alex felt warm and calm. The constant distortion of Behavioural Modification cip inside his mind, calming him down significantly. Enabling him to breathe relief. A pleasant feeling of quietness spreed inside his skull.

Silence stretched between them. Neither speaking. Alex didn’t mind. He just wanted to bask in the freeing feeling he seemed to have forgotten a long time ago.

[...Outsider. Do you not have any questions regarding your situation?]

The [Star] infornt of him pulsed and the same voice rang inside his head again. Their voice now has more emotions. Unlike the first time. The voice seemed to be getting clearer and clearer.

Alex opened his closed eyes to gaze at it.

".. If you had something to say to me, you would have said a long time ago. Why would I bother asking when there is a chance you won’t answer at all?"

He spoke in a calm tone that almost felt foreign to him. He knew that the Behavioural Modification Chip was off now. Even after arriving into another world, it still ran because it wasn’t something that required constant surveillance from the Rebels.

Not having that constant nudge was an amazing feeling. His whole body relaxed. Immense lethargy invaded his sense of reasoning. Alex wanted to do nothing more than to lay felt and do nothing.

Unable to stand the feeling, he sat down and looked up to the [Star]. He didn’t know what awaited him after this encounter. He hoped it will be something good. If not... well, he had lived enough.

Alex felt completely at peace for the first time in his life. All thanks to the being infront of him. Which he was greatful for. Whatever they decided for him, he will accept because they didn’t pull him for no reason. There must be something regarding him that was causing great distress.

[...Your an odd one. Outsider.]

"Why?"

[Normally, when Lost One’s meet me, they are either tense, hopeful, suspicious or scared. You on the other hand is in peace. Seemingly ready for whatever that came your way. For the better or worse.]

"Haha~. That is true~... I lived a good life."

Alex noticed the anomaly in addressing. He reasoned both have different context. But that didn’t matter to him as he was too lazy to think deeply.

[Sigh~. Your supposed to ask a lot of questions and I’m supposed to answer them...]

The voice sighed and said with a languid tone. Alex smiled. The being infront of him seemed to be socially awkward. But he decided to humour them nonetheless.

"People who don’t play by the rules are difficult to deal with huh. Regardless. Since you want me to ask questions, then... who are you? What are you? Why am I here? What is this place? What’s the reason for pulling me here? How did I end up in this strange Earth? How am I so strong? Can I go back? Is this different dimension? How-"

Alex asked a volley of questions with a teasing smile. The being infront him seemed... cute? Alex felt that either he has gone crazy after all those years of suppression or his anthropomorphism has leveled up where ever a star seems cute to him.

’I need a doctor...’

He thought with a chuckle.

[...I did not ask that... and for your questions. I’m a World Spirit. Overseer of the Earth. As for my name, you don’t need to know. This is my personal Domain. My word’s the law here-]

"Then why do I feel like I can just puch through it?"

[... I’m getting there. ]

The World Spirit said with some irritation evident on her tone.

"Oh! Right. Sorry. Please go on. I won’t talk anymore."

Alex curtly apologised. Seeing that the World Spirit was offended, which meant that he actually could get out of here and she felt a dent on her pride.

’Cute... nononono. That’s a star Alex. Your family jewels will burn to crips if you try something funny... or not...’

As Alex was having rather questionable thoughts, the World Spirit continued.

[The reason you feel that is because you are integrated with the Causality of the universe. The reason being, you’re a 4D being who feel throat dimensional glitch not a lower dimension. A different kind of reality altogether. There are many cases where higher beings fall through dimensional glitch. But the Farewell of the 3D reality promptly erases them before they can fall into this reality.]

"You mean that pink wave of energy?"

[Yes. But you managed to survive. An anomaly. An outsider. After you fell, the universe can’t do anything. Can neither expell you or erase you. Because of your Essence of a Higher Being. It makes you illusive and impossible to affect you with anything from the lower dimension. Even laws of nature. Thus, to make sure the natural balance doesn’t collapse because of you, since the universe cannot affect you in anyway, your a walking hazard of fate and Causality.]

The World Spirit pause for a moment. As if letting the her words sink into Alex’s mind.

’Damn... I know I shouldn’t feel triumph... but that’s a sick title. Walking Hazard of Fate and Causality... sick!’

Alex was gloating inside. His lips almost curling up but he masked it for the sake of not ruining mood and making the World Spirit forget what she wants to say. She seemed the type of person to forget that they were saying of interrupted.

[To prevent total fall out, the universe decided to integrate you with the Causality of the universe before it was too late. As anything less can’t seem to have any effect.If it wasn’t done at that time, two or three months later, there would have no way to do anything anymore. Thus, giving you the power you have. Because you didn’t have any knowledge. You used Causality on instinct.]

"I see..."

Alex murmured in astonishment. Feeling the invisible storm he had created upon his arrival. Making him feel a bit guilty even though it wasn’t his fault.

’Wait. Doesn’t that mean all the nonsense I came up with is actually true?’

He made another astonishing discovery. He finally understood the cause of the things that happened to him. But he still didn’t understand why he was called here. If getting him integrated enough, the universe could have just done it so. But since he hasn’t been made into a will less machine, that means the Essence of a Higher Being was at work.

But still, the universe had to integrate him with its most fundamental principle, that must mean there was quite trouble.

[And lastly, for the reason I’ve pulled you in. Although you have integrated 50% into this reality, the problem is still not resolved. With each second you live, millions of life forms die across the dimension for no reason other than the fact that fate and Causality are in shambles. So, to not cause anymore trouble, you need to be the Axis which either Fate or Causality is overseen by. In short, you will he granted an Origin-Rank Bloodline.]

The World Spirit said with unmasked exasperation. Alex didn’t know what Origin-Rank was since in anime, only upto Mythical-Rank Bloodline has been revealed.

"Ohhhhh!!!"

Alex clapped his hand in excitement. His eyes wide. He know for a fact that anything named Origin is bound to He sickly Overpowered. That’s the universal trope rule the Webnovel writer follow like heavenly mandate. It will not be wrong. Alex has faith in all the nonsense he had read.

Seeing his excitement, the World Spirit seemed to be a bit passed because her body pulsed a bit. He took the cue and stopped awkwardly before asking a question that he may or may not regret.

"Um. So. Miss World Spirit? Why do you need to give me a Bloodline? Aren’t I integrated enough?"

[Yes. But it’s just enough to not effect the Fate and Causality in that massive wave. But your still practically outside of everything. Unless your connected directly to a law.]

"So, what is actually integrated? And why is 50% seems like all there is it? I mean. I’m not complaining or anything. Just curious..."

Alex said with an increasing awkward tone. Feeling scorned for no reason.

[50% means your physical body is integrated. Which is the only thing that is possible because it is within the physical layer. But it’s impossible for a lower dimension to integrate an [Essence of a Higher Being]. And before you ask what that is, it’s your soul. That is something metaphysical.]

The World Spirit said with clear disdain. If before she was being polite for the sake of it, now she has show her true colours.

’What did I even do?’

Alex couldn’t help but ask himself in self-doubt...
