I was Reborn as a Background Character

Day 1:

As hard as it is to believe it seems I, Kobayakawa Kogitsune, have been reincarnated.

If you ask me why I think that, it’s because I can clearly remember my death but after the darkness descended I was still able to think.

You may tell me I’m being to blasé about the whole thing but in the world I came from espers and things like that existed, to such an extent that they were considered a part of every day life. Even if they were only one in every thousand people.

For the population of Earth that's quite a few running around.

Espers, creatures of mass destruction, evil doing espers and even weapons to kill thee afore mentioned existed and could be easily encountered during the course of one’s life time. After realising this simple truth isn’t it any wonder that I haven’t been leaving the house in the last few years. The world is a scary place for a normal person you know.

I mean apart from my name there’s nothing interesting about me.

It’s typical then that the one day I decide to go out of the apartment is the same day I die.

Don’t get me wrong I have mapped out my escape routes and I can find the nearest police box from anywhere in the city because I make sure my route always takes me in there direction but tonight it seems my luck was just a little bad.

I had pretty much just left the apartment, it was late at night but statistically even evil WMD Espers sleep around this time, at least according to a forum I read, and was heading to my destination. Thankfully the local convenience store is 24/7.

I turned a corner to come across I very graphic scene.

The slender from of a young girl riding a top a mangled body, the blood soaked girl just kept stabbing again and again but even I could tell the poor victim was dead. Or at least any normal human would have died from such an onslaught but the pile of flesh let out a groan as I was watching.

Don’t get me wrong I’m not one of those guys who likes the yandere bad ending and even if I lived in a world of super humans, being confronted by such a sight was too much and I was frozen. My body rooted to the spot.

After the victim let out another groan the bloody maiden stopped working his torso and with one swift motion jammed the wicked looking crackling blade into his brain through his eye.

As the body spasmed and then went limp a small high pitch squeak escaped my lips but I immediately realised and clamped two hands across my mouth to try to stop anymore leaking out.

But it was too late. The red dyed figure looked up in my direction and our eyes met.

At that moment my legs gave out and I collapsed to the ground. She slowly drew herself off of the now dead body of her victim and began to shuffle towards me. With that vicious weapon, still dripping blood and brain, gripped in both hands.

As she loomed closer I realised I had seen her around the neighbourhood before. She must have been around twenty or so, it was just a shame her pretty face was now distorted by that icy dead eyed stare and the slightly crooked smile.

I can honestly say I didn’t last even a fraction of the time that guy had. I died very quickly and quite shamefully.

It was a strange experience. I remember vividly the sensations I felt at that time before they just melted away, fading slowly, but my consciousness still carried on after that. The darkness of my own mind changed as I realised I had slowly opened my eyes. Even if they were very heavy I somehow managed.

Only to be greeted by the ugliest, wrinkled green face I had ever seen.

“And lastly this one shall be Gobuiro. Now sleep child.”
