“This…could be considered the legendary cheat or gift given for a new life?” Jack Parker pondered.
Jack Parker then narrowed his eyes and softly shouted:
“System?”
…
“Can you choose another host?”
…
“Unbind? Unbind. Unbind!”
…
“System, did you know I’m your father?”
…
“...and I don’t really want a son like you.”
…
“This ‘aid’ thing doesn’t really seem sentient. At least for now…”
Jack Parker put the question of whether this cheat was accompanied by any conspiracies aside and fiddled with the aid options.
After tossing and turning, he figured out the proper way to interact with this ‘cheat’.
He focused on the [Personal Data] option inwardly in his mind and sure enough, a set of data came up.
[Name: Jack Parker]
{Body} First Order
{Soul} First Order
{Will} ???
{Sword Realm} Half-step Sword Intent (Locked) *Focus here to launch the sword initiation ceremony*
{Sword Skills} None
{Titles} None
{Innate Titles} [A Promise Through Time & Space] [Sheltered By The World] [Favored By *****]
After tossing and turning over the cheat once again, Jack Parker noticed he could only further focus on the {Innate Titles} to obtain additional information.
Jack Parker focused on the first title and commented in his heart.
Hmm, golden font and glowing pink. Very flashy and full of auspiciousness. As if it were a 5-star draw from a gacha game.
[A Promise Through Time & Space]
[Some mysterious being(s) have bestowed karmic love upon you. Due to this, the following effects are obtained:
Effect 1: Temporal or spatial barriers have a decreased effect on you.
Effect 2: You have a connection with a certain something and therefore, you cannot get lost and will be able to find your way back from spacetime or other dimensions.
Effect 3: It is easier for you to survive spatial turbulence.
Effect 4: Love you sincerely bless has a higher chance of better outcomes. Note: This effect is invalid for yourself.
Effect 5: Be it the deepest depths or the greatest tides, neither the deep seas or the highest orders can affect this karmic love and thus this title is permanent.
Effect 6: Being surrounded by temporal and spatial forces has caused you to be slightly disoriented.
Sense of Direction -1]
Jack Parker moved on to the next innate title.
Red font this time. But full of special effects. Lets see…there are clouds, wind, rain, and lightning surrounding the word.
[Sheltered By The World]
[The World appreciates you for some inexplicable reason. It is optimistic about your future achievements and hopes you can make it a better place. Due to this, the following effects are obtained:
Effect 1: Natural forces will always work in your favor.
Effect 2: Your luck increases.
Advertisement
Effect 3: Citizenship. The world has secretly opened the back door for you.
Effect 4: You are close to the world and if conditions permit, you can perceive the natural laws.
Effect 5: You are more handsome in the eyes of plants, soil, and rock.
Special Charm +1]
This…
Jack Parker was speechless at the effects of this title.
Do plants, soil, and rock even have eyes?
However what concerned Jack Parker the most was the Effect 3 that granted him some sort of citizenship.
Was his transmigration exposed?
Although judging from the title effects, he seemed safe at the moment..
“The World” or some sort of entity had covered him.
Jack Parker reckoned it was probably like those shady operations that people with connections and financial resources did.
And also…
Jack Parker glanced at the first effect of the [Sheltered By The World] title.
For some baffling reason, his intuition strongly felt this effect would bring him some minor troubles.
He seemed to be forgetting something?
Unable to figure out the circumstances, Jack Parker honestly explored the last innate title.
The last innate title was red just like the “Sheltered By The World” title except the red was a hue of scarlet red as if soaked in human blood.
Coupled with the gloomy aura that surrounded the innate title, it brought Jack Parker an ominous sensation.
The depressive gloomy aura twisted and turned seemingly desiring to devour its surroundings.
[Favored By *****]
[An indescribable existence thinks you are particularly suave.
Your handsomeness and the charm of your soul has hit the indescribable existence’s sweet spot.
It has the urge to assimilate you but for some reason doesn’t.
The indescribable existence has cast its gaze upon you and blesses you. Due to this, the following effects are obtained:
Effect 1: Calls from the Deep Seas.
Effect 2: The gaze from the old days has attracted the attention of Cthulhu. You will be @#$&?....Error.
Effect 3: The indescribable one’s care- It hates how iron can’t be tempered into steel so it casts the blessing “straight steel man” on you. Henceforth, you will be like steel unbent by desires.
You are now immune to charm and seduction.
You are now immune to 99.9% of the opposite gender.
Your chances of failure in courtship with the opposite gender increases.
Effect 4: The indescribable one’s care- It is full of concern for your wellbeing. Henceforth, you will no longer suffer from appearance problems.
You are now immune to ache, excessive hair growth, smelly feet, skin conditions, and bad breath.
Your Little Jack Parker is buffed.
Length and size ↑
Endurance ↑
Shape ↑
Effect 5: The indescribable one’s care- It sends you an indescribable gift.
You obtain an indestructible grotesque tentacle which can be summoned at any time.
Gift Features: Squishy, Rose Pink, Soft, Slimy, Firm, Embodiment of Perfection, Size and Weight Change, Clean, Perfect Medium, Comfortable, Deep Seas Contamination
{Note 1: Will check complete. ✔
You will not be assimilated by the calls from the Deep Seas and thus Effect 1 is invalid.
Note 2: Because of [Sheltered By The World], effect 2 is partially invalid and you will no longer attract the attention of Cthulhu.
Because of [A Promise Through Time & Space], effect 2 is completely invalid.
Note 3: Because of [A Promise Through Time & Space], effect 3 is partially disabled.}
Jack Parker: “...”
Does he look like the type of person who needs his little brother down there to be buffed?
And this immunity to excessive hair growth…
Fuck, it must be you that took away my symbol of an alpha male!

He even suspected that this indescribable being had its sight on him before the ‘Jack Parker’ of Earth came.
Jack Parker had millions of complaints about this ‘indescribable being’ that he didn’t even know where to begin.
Not to mention the immunity to the opposite sex.
Back on Earth, he had never had a romantic relationship.
It wasn’t that he was ugly but simply because he was never interested in anyone.
He even tried going on blind dates but he couldn’t muster any enthusiasm no matter how attractive the other party was.
It was as if everyone was a piece of plain tofu in his eyes.
No soy sauce, sugar, salt or other seasonings.
Just boiled.
More than once, Jack Parker suspected he was homosexual or some other type of sexuality.
He had to repeatedly reopen his cherished ‘treasures of men’ magazine to reconfirm his preference for females.
Do you understand the loneliness?
As he got older, his classmates and friends were already married and had children.
Only he was left alone in the winter breeze enviously watching as his guy friends shared their fragrant bedtime stories unintentionally causing crit damage to him.
It wasn’t until he saw a video while browsing the internet that he changed his approach.
According to the video, he had to do ‘self love’ or some other nonsense and attract the girls instead of the other way around.
Jack Parker was skeptical at that time so he decided to consult some experts on quora.
What ‘self confidence’, ‘self esteem’, or blah blah blah.
In short most of them recommended self care to build a reliable masculine image to get girls to chase him instead.
So he set off to build a handsome mature uncle image in hopes of attracting flavorful tofu.
Finally after several years…
Jack Parker was still single and ready to mingle.
This immunity from this indescribable being was simply cursing him to be a virgin for two lifetimes!
Am I, Jack Parker, going to be single for another lifetime again?
“Dammit, indescribable being I hope you have an indescribable son without an asshole.”
Right when Jack Parker was going to continue to spray curses in order to let this indescribable being know why flowers are so indescribably red (from its blood)…
Another series of messages popped into his mind.
[Inheritance detected. Begin execution of Command #112.]
[Execution successful.]
[Merits have been added.]
[Merits: 7, 000, 000, 000]
[Merit detected. All stores are now available to you. Happy shopping.]
Jack Parker: ( ;ↀ⌓ↀ)
Wow! Seven billion! So much!
Let’s go splurge! I’m invincible…
…
…
…
…is what others would think.
Now Jack Parker was immediately full of caution.
Whether the him now or the him from Earth, neither Jack Parker believed pies would fall from the sky.
Jack Parker would like to mention another one of his thirteen favorite sentences.
“All gifts of fate have been secretly marked with a price.”
If it was before, Jack Parker might have considered occasionally using the ‘aid’.
Now he completely dispelled that idea.
Jack Parker wasn’t arrogant enough to think he was a main character of some sort of LitRPG or isekai novel.
Only the main characters of those novels would be able to eat the pies from the sky without paying whoever threw those pies.
Damn, they had invincible plot armor and prepaid cheats given by the irresponsible authors.
Eventually most main characters would start becoming arrogant thinking they were special, going around slapping faces and ravishing princesses and milfs.
Was Jack Parker envious?
Duh…
He wanted to ravish some princesses and maybe milfs too.
But this was real life and he was an adult that had experienced the baptism of society.
Free is the most expensive!
It was like Elon Musk sending men in black to your residence and opening a case full of thick banknotes.
You would definitely wonder if the sun came out from the west that day.
Just like that, Jack Parker was instantly full of cautiousness when slapped with an extra fragrant pie.
He considered himself poor and unable to afford any price even if it was princess flavored.
Wasn’t it nice to keep both of his arms, legs, and organs?
Besides, this ‘aid’ that was implemented was totally sus in every way.
For example, there was a large amount of terms he didn’t precisely understand that gave him an ominous feeling.
Deep Seas, old days, Cthulhu, etc…
Also the powers behind the innate titles that were able to take something or change him without his permission made him uneasy.
Only the innate title [A Promise Through Time & Space] brought him a cordial feeling as if he was buddies with that mysterious being(s) who did not want to be named.
Not to mention another sussy point.
Some words were censored!
Jack Parker hated censorship the most.
It was as if an alluring girl suddenly stopped after taking off the first layer.
Even his beloved “treasures of men” magazine wasn’t so censored.
And also, among the messages that emerged in his mind was the word “command”.
Didn’t this prove someone was doing something sketchy behind the scenes?
In short, this ‘aid’ cheat was not trustworthy!
Besides, even the thing said it itself in the advice:
Do not trust others at will!
It was also for this reason he ignored the whatever initiation ceremony that he saw in his personal data.
Sword intent?
What is that?
A type of power?
Was it like the phones parents took away from their children in claims that they brought it?
Heh
Power given by external means is not truly yours!
Jack Parker believed that even if he wasn’t the most diligent person, he could slowly build his own future.
The trusty right hand that accompanied him through countless temptations was not a decoration.
He wanted to build his own gundam!
His own rasengan!
His own kamehameha!
A railgun would also be nice!
Although Jack Parker went through his life experience on Latrom Star and has never found anything that could be considered abnormal or extraordinary…
The ‘aid’ cheat had brought to his attention the possibilities of another side of the world.
A side that his social circle couldn’t presently reach.
But Jack Parker wasn’t discouraged.
He had the theoretical wealth of two worlds and a trusty right hand.
Anyways, if his normal life would not be affected, Jack Parker was too lazy to spend time looking for the extraordinary.
He wasn’t a very ambitious person to begin with.
It was like how some people didn’t bother with politics and its power struggle.
Besides the undetermined amount of time spent, what about the various possible dangers in exploring?
Isn’t it fragrant to spend that extra time and effort on finding a fair maiden he was actually interested in?
Love, peace, fries and thighs were more appealing to Jack Parker than fighting monsters and being a hero.
With an extra chance at life, even the gods can’t stop me from finding a girlfriend I said!
Jack Parker took a deep breath.
*Swoosh*
Exhale.
*Puff*
The many years of loneliness will finally end!
A new world!
More novels, comics, shows, games, and more!
Jack Parker tightly clenched both hands in determination.
Who dares to stop me?!

8 144Steps of the Immortal Tree
Evan stood on a hill, staring calmly at the gate of his former clan. A crowd waited behind him, some eyeing the clan in an unresigned manner, others looking at their spiritual support. Some of the young children shivered at the gnawing cold. Wind howled in his ears, seemingly deploring his fate. A silvery cloud drifted over the mountains surrounding the compound. The roar of a river could be heard from underneath its frozen surface. He had reincarnated many years ago. Hailed as a prodigy from his youngest age, Evan had seemingly tread on a path to invincibility. He had gotten married with his childhood sweetheart and had cultivated with a group of friends, forming a considerable power of his own. Yet now, here he was, devoid of any path to move forward, with his energy locus destroyed. His wife was dead and his branch had been kicked out of the clan. He looked at his progeny that had been entrusted to him. The baby seemed content in his father’s strong arms, too young to understand anything but the warmth of the father’s beating heart. Signaling to the people behind him, he turned around and the procession gradually disappeared in the distance, as the sun gradually set and the stars acted as a guide. --- Author-san here.

8 113Progenitor - A GameLit Campaign by Zero77
Progenitor is written by an Overlord admirer who wishes to put his own spin on the tired concept of a VR world turning into reality. The story follows Rein, a loyal fan of the DMMORPG Phantasm, as he finds himself in the New World, where much of what he has known of the game is no longer the same. Though, he may not be the only one desperately searching for his place in the hierarchy of this world. Accompanied by NPC's, who now are sentient and free from the constraints of computer programs, Rein slowly but surely unveils the many secrets hidden deep under thick layers of the New World's history. In case you skipped the first line, I like Overlord very much xD.
