《Re:World》Chapter 08: Meet Q.
Advertisement
[System: Requirement Name the Foreign Entity.]
[System: Name: _____ ]
Well, this is new. A requirement in the system means for me to view what this entity is i- well she needs a name. As Reiki thought about the system, this is the first time it actually showed a condition.
Let’s just name her something simple like Yami or something. As he finishes his train of thought Reiki said “this… girl? From now on her name is now Yam-” but before Reiki was able to finish the voice interrupted.
[Queen.]
“Qu- Queen?” Reiki was completely taken by surprise for her name to be Queen and accidentally said it out loud.
[System: Name Has Been Confirmed.]
[System: Queen’s Stats Can Now Be Seen.]
“Wait!? WHAT?! Isn't it supposed to ask me first to confirm why it suddenly took the name at face value?” Reiki was taken back to the so-called system where it usually asks a question first then confirmation from the user. It was the first time it suddenly took something at face value.
After breathing out a big sigh Reiki calmed himself down and said. “Fuck I’ll just call her Q. for short and be done with it… I am interested in her stats so how do I do this? Queen’s Status?” After that, a notification popped up.
NAME Queen LEVEL ??? RACE ??? CODE NAME Faceless CLASS ??? HEALTH ??? MANA ??? TITLE Glutton AGILITY 288 『 ???』 STRENGTH 288 『 ???』 STAMINA 288 『 ???』 INTELLIGENCE 576 『 ???』
Another code name… And what's with that title Glutton forget it I don't even know what was that voice that gone silent a few minutes ago… But still, in games titles are NEVER given so casually that goes double for titles with effects like doubling mana regeneration, Additional Stats are just the more ‘normal’ ones. If there were titles like Demon Hunter and Sage I can't even begin to imagine the effects of some of those high tier titles. As Reiki pondered about the two things in the status screen that he just can't get a solid grip on.
After absorbing the information on Queen’s status Reiki let out a sigh and after making sure he said “Yeah those are my stats I guess Q. Here copies the host or in this case my stats… But I wanna see what she's made of so Queen’s skill List.”
After that Q’s status disappeared and was replaced by her Skill List.

“.....” Reiki had no words to describe this Queen stats her skills alone would be able to get the Four Major Continents would go berserk from jealousy and would do anything to get their hands on one of them yet there were still four of them yet to be unlocked if anything were on his mind it was only this one sentence as he thought.
What The Fuck… What is she that voice said that they made her but what exactly is she? And who made her?
As Reiki pondered over this thought over and over again he knew that he barely knew anything about this world ever since it’s been remade and which of the gods are real there were just too many if you were to take a list from Religious Cosmology theirs some examples such as Christianity, Daoism, and Great Chain Of Being although not all of them have God’s and some are actually more leaning on the philosophy but it all comes down to one question ever since the world has been remade what type of mythology is this world based on.
As Reiki started to pace walking back and forth in a straight line he muttered “If I were to judge what type of mythology this world has by my short time of observing one name of a God showed up while one of them who I met uses time and even I’m not dumb enough to be clueless who uses time his name should be Chronos or Kronos with a “K” the God of Time and that announcement if I remember it was… Apollyon? I’m pretty sure he was once referred to in the Bible as an Angel Of The Abyss but that doesn't make any sense. That announcement clearly said Demon God’s meaning was more than one but it didn't quite indicate how many demonic God’s were able to take notice… There's just too much to grasp on things and I need to make sure of a few thing's first.”
As Reiki continued to ponder on his thoughts for a while more he came to the conclusion that he still knew too little about this new world and there was still something that we're completely the same as the old world but some things weren't even there in the first place he already knew that there should be some drastic changes in history but he'll have to brush up on those later on.
『 Author’s Note: I am not questioning, degrading nor comparing any religion the MC is only trying to figure out which is which everyone is free to believe in their own religion.』
But ever since his world has been remade Japan's has been the same more or less what he didn't notice that Japan has always been a more unevenly continent and adding the fact that Japan's terrain is about 73% mountainous and 12% is used for agricultural means which leaves about roughly 25% are left to make buildings, Convenience Store, Schools, and so on but after being remade only mt. Fuji was the only mountain that was left and Japan's geological structure has been completely altered.
All the architectural structure of the building's, on the other hand, has remained pretty much the same, the more ‘Traditional’ buildings are still made out of wooden structures while elevated slightly off the ground, with tiled or thatched roofs sliding doors were used to replace some of the walls. While some of the more commonly known apartment blocks are about 970 sq feet would be able to keep a family of four easy.

Reiki didn't really noticed the difference in any of it other than where the edges of Japan were supposed to be the ocean but were now replaced with a few thousands of acres of forest and for the reason why he didn't notice he barely even went outside of the house and when he did it was only to buy food at the nearest convenience store and he never really paid much to his surroundings even now those small ‘shabby’ wooden stores are actually more common than he thought and each of them had spatial magic and no shop is the same each shop has its own specialty from selling potions to some more willing to do some ‘business’ if the price was right.
“Hmm? Is this… a sword design?” As Reiki focused he was able to see a clear image in his head a blade the was crimson red the sword was 42 inches long and the width of the blade was 5.75 inches it only had a single edge and the tip of the sword is more commonly known as a tanto point the only thing is the handle looked like it’s made out of some type of charred wood and the only design looked like it was carved to make a simple black handle.
It was placed on the opposite side of the edge of the sword just like the handle of a cleaver the blade had no ornaments on it the only word you can describe it was simple no trinkets, no tricks, and no complex design it was straightforward as it could be this sword was only made to be used for Hacking, Slashing, Stabbing, And Cleaving and no matter how he looked at the sword the only conclusion he was able to come up with was this sword was made especially for killing and killing alone.
“I wonder.” But before Reiki was able to finish, a skill was activated.
『 Shapeshift Has Been Activated.』
As soon as the skill was active a black entity leaped outside from his shirt and took form of a small black ball as he kept his sights on the ball soon the ball started to fall and was in front of Reiki before he knew it the black ball took shape of the crimson red sword pointing downwards after taking shape the sword was now a few inches embedded in the stone floor the sword went into the floor smoothly without any resistance if someone were to apply a small amount of force the sword would easily sink entirely into the floor.
“Is That…” As Reiki looked at the blade in disbelief it was 42 inches long and 5.75 inches wide single edged and crimson red in color, no doubt about it this sword was the same one from his head. Hmm, I wonder… God’s Eye
『 God’s Eye Has Been Activated.』
??? 『 Replica』
Attack Damage: 1
Weight: 3,456 Kg
The moment Reiki saw the weight at first he's first thought was to rub his eyes but then he still saw the same number he then proceeded to lightly pinch his arm until it turned red it was painful enough for him to grit his teeth but not painful enough for his skin to start bleeding after coming to terms with it the first thing he said was “What kind of fucking weight is this bullshit and it doesn't even have anything on it. Not only that to make it even worse it has 1 damage 1 FUCKING DAMAGE!! so much for the cool looking sword I bet level one wooden sword is better than this crappy thing.”
After venting Reiki could only let out a big sigh and tried to think on the bright side. Wait, maybe it just depends on the weapon design. Let's try and see. After that, he tried to imagine a different weapon and the first thing on his mind was a Katana.
『 Shapeshift Has Been Activated.』
Then in front of Reiki the crimson sword instantly turned pitch black and some parts of it turned into a ‘bubble gum’ like texture it looked sticky as the more solid parts started to reshape itself into a rough shape of a katana and it slowly molded itself into the correct length and shape.
The crimson sword was replaced by an average katana it looked like it was forged by a master blacksmith the blade was absolutely beautiful it was curved with a single edge two-handed handle with a circular guard on and the handle coloring looked something similar like birch but was laminated a rich earthy color words couldn't be described in words if.
Reiki were to describe it one word would fit the bill and it was perfect the katana may seem ordinary at first glance but with a careful inspection you can see that everything looked like it was made by a top tiered craftsman and the buyer spared no expense on any materials upon making the blade and after some rough estimations Reiki thought. Roughly 23 and a half inches.
After the transformation, the crimson sword was now replaced by a katana that was now pointing towards the stone pavement and stuck. If Reiki didn't see the transformation himself he would have just assumed that someone places something similar to the preservation and was still in mint condition. Weird if this were a normal blade I would have assumed this was Excalibur. As Reiki mused to himself and continued on. Alright, let's try this again. God’s Eye.
『 God’s Eye Has Been Activated.』
Katana 『 Replica』
Attack Damage: 1
Weight: 3,456 Kg
“FUCK ME, MAN! Come on, looks like this is not gonna work.” As Reiki shouted and started to accept the reality of things and thought. Does it really weigh that much? He grabbed the handle of the katana with both hands and positioned his footing to try and maximize as much force as possible with Reiki in position. The only thing left was to lift and think. 3… 2… 1…
As soon Reiki finished counting down with as much his he could muster strength as possible he attempted to lift the blade but the blade didn't even budge as he tried to forcefully lift the blade after a few seconds. Not yet. Body Reinforcement.
『 Body Reinforcement Has Been Activated. Mana Cost: 1,500 per Body Part, 10,000 Whole Maintain for 5 Minutes.』
The moment the skill was activated Reiki instantly choose the more costly one because if he chose to only reinforce both his arms only it would result in bone fractures as he screamed. “Whole Body!!” At the top of his lungs after a few more seconds of struggle Reiki started to run short on breath and his entire face had a hint of red for lack of oxygen and he was starting to feel faint but eventually, he let go. As soon as Reiki let go of the blade he started breathing and gasping heavily and laid down flat on his back and tried to pace his breathing to avoid passing out he tried to calm himself as much as possible. “So… it… is… that… heavy… “ As Reiki tried to speak in between breathing.
No matter how hard I try to force myself the most I can use is about 4% of my stats in strength 8% anything higher than that I’ll be destroying my own body 4% of 288 that should be 11.52 let’s round that off that makes 12 that would be 144 kg of force 8% would be 23 that should be 276kg of force 4% of my power can rival a boxers punch which should be roughly 317 pounds a single punch 8% my punch could rival martial artist of a fully grown adult with body reinforcement I can muster up 608 pounds of force not too shabby for a ten-year-old.
Reiki went into deep thought no matter how high his stats are currently is there’s still one indisputable fact his still ten years old he may have a somewhat toned body due to mixed martial arts and judo but this is something that can only be solved in time when he grows up as Reiki continues his train of thought. Well this is not a game anymore this is now my life I can’t treat some things as a game this might be my only chance to change my fate and their fate or I’ll die trying.
No matter how many stats a person has it can only be used by the user itself if a human body is supposed to be the carrier then Reiki’s carrier too much for his body to bear the moment he uses anything out of his body can able to withstand the consequence should be apparent it doesn’t take a genius what would happen if someone tried to force himself too fast.
If anything this is this world version of a Nerf or Patch balancing the scales so not everything is absolute in this world there shouldn't be a someone or at least a human that exceeds what his body can handle for reasons if you were to metaphorically turn all Reiki’s stats into water then his body would be a puddle and all of his stats are an ocean having too much may be a good thing but not in this case it could easily kill him for just going over just one measly stat point.
After a few minutes, Reiki was able to calm his breathing and was able to walk barely as he looked at the katana he said. “Time to go Q.” As soon as he said that Q. transformed back into a black sphere and went inside somewhere in his shirt again. “Well, I doubt there's anything left here worthwhile so it’s time to escort the snobby princess LE-” before Reiki was able to finish an earthquake just so happened and after a few seconds Reiki was expecting some aftershocks but to no avail.
“Weird.” Was the only thing he said as he started to climb outside the tomb.
At A Dungeon Somewhere.
A Few Minutes After The Earthquake.
A Group of adventurers was running for their lives and behind them was a smog of dust and ash and with careful inspection, you can see a silhouette of a Humanoid Monster but due to the smog, you can only see his Blood Red Eyes piercing through the thick smog staring at the running adventures.
“Fuck! Fuck! Shouldn’t Boss Monsters Stay inside in their territory, why is this one still chasing us!?” One of the Burly looking male adventures said with a mixture of panic and fear.
“Are you that dumb if that thing wanted us dead it would have killed us before we even knew we died I think it’s taking its time hunting us.” A small and petite black haired female shouted her face was pale from fearing the worst is yet to come.
“All of you SHUT UP! And RUN! Our only hope is that the letter was delivered to the guild the only thing we should worry about is our survival and if you got the energy to talk use it to dodge those fucking skills.” One of them finally snapped. He looked like the leader of the group since after that no one said anything and continued to survive.
