Chappy 1.9 - That time I was reincarnated in another world and heard a cool-ass backstory
Skeletony Cornea was staring at me as the ball of darkness shot towards him, spelling his doom.
"Heh," he said, unnaturally composed after his previous spell of swearing. "Looks like this is the end of the road for ol' Tony... It's been a hell of a ride."
He cocked his head to the side, partially in a gesture of cool indifference and curiosity, but also to better see me around the ball of death rocketing towards him.
"I bet you wanna know how a guy like me fell into line with the Demon Lord, don't ya?" he asked, gesturing towards the snazzy suit he must have changed into sometime during the fight, and gold chains, which remained just as shiny with gold and grease as they had before.

"Not particularly."
"Well, it's a long story," he replied, leaning back with a sigh as the bolt of darkness drew streaked through the air towards him, leaving afterimages behind it. He reached into his suit jacket and slowly fished out a pack of cigarettes. With a jangle of his gold rolex, he shook out a loose cig and popped it into his mouth, lighting it up. "It all started when I was a child..."
"Y'see, I was born with a certain condition. You might think my skeleton obsession is on account'a the fact that it makes a funny pun with my name. Skeletony, skeletons, y'know?"
Realization blasted through my body as several of my presumably many neurons made the connection in wordplay. If some really cool, really handsome guy somewhere happened to be writing all this down, I was filled with hypothetical pride for this straining the bounds of humor and cleverness.
"T-that's--" I stammered, but he cut me off with a stern look.
"It goes deeper than that. You see, when I was born, I wasn't just what most folks would call 'normal'. Yessee, I was born part man, part skeleton. A skeleton man."
I gasped in shock, quickly activating my [X-Ray Vision] again, to verify. To my horror, a full skeleton appeared overlayed over him, hidden just out of sight below the surface of his skin. He was telling the truth!
"My folks, well... they weren't happy 'bout that. They threw me out on the street. Called me a monster."
A single tear rolled down his cheek as he shook off the hideous clutch of bad memories. "I had to fight to survive. Had to steal to survive. Had to learn how to work a fulfilling career as a line chef in an Italian family restaurant. That's where I learned how to cook. How to kill. How to get by. They accepted me as one of their own, despite knowing that I was a freak. When I was there, I was family. "

He sniffed, overcome by emotion. "They even gave me the honorary title of [Italian]. The greatest honor I could dream of. It was good, for a bit..."
He sighed, leaning back and exhaling a ring of smoke, which widened until it impacted the [Dark Blast] that was rushing towards Skeletony, destroying the smoke instantly.
"Then the Demon Lord attacked my hometown. Her armies destroyed everything. My old family. The home I grew up in. The Italian Family Restaurant, and all of my co-workers, my new family. Everybody except me."
He looked up, and a cool flashback played over the scene, of the Demon Lord, a figure shrouded in shadow, extending a hand down at a younger, less greasy Skeletony, who stared up at her.
"And I asked her, why she hadn't killed me. And I still remember her words to this day:"
"I was bored."
Skeletony shook his head, while his flashback self grit his teeth and trembled, either with emotion or because he accidentally bit his tongue, I couldn't tell.
"Well," Skeletony continued. "My first reaction was, whaddaya think? Anger. I still can't believe how immature I was. You'da thought she stole the biggest meatball offa my spaghetti."
"Anyways, I soon saw the light at the end of the cannoli--"
"You really gotta play that [Italian] stuff up, huh?" I asked. He continued on, ignoring me entirely.
"She told me that I showed promise, and she wanted to recruit me. I wasn't about to hear a damn word she said, but then the next words I heard her say rocked my world from the toppa my head to the bottom of my shoes."
"Dental Plan and 401k."
"That was all it took. I would follow her to the ends of the earth, by which I mean whatever the fuck the name of this badass game-like Isekai world is called."
"Earth works," I replied. "Just don't think about it too hard."
He nodded. "I asked her, 'don't you care that I'm half-man, half-skeleton?'. But she just shrugged after only 45 seconds of consideration."
"It's kinda gross and weird, but you seem like you'll be useful to my plans."
Skeletony stared me in the eyes, his soul burning its message into my own.
"She accepted me, Hiro Protagonist," He said, tripping over the pronunciation a bit as he read it off of the skateboard I always carried on my back, which I hadn't mentioned explicitly yet, but had always been there since the start of the story. "It was the first time I had felt truly accepted, in my life. So if I gotta die to help her take over the world or whatever the fuck she's trying to do..."
He grit his teeth and drew himself to a standing, grinning a smile with finality.
"So be it!" He reached out and cast [Darkbolt Lvl 2], a bolt of dark blasting in to meet mine. To my shocked eyes, the bolt was holding back my own, even though mine was the strongest version of the spell, and level 10! My bolt was moving a full 2% slower as it traveled towards him.
"W-what the?!" I shouted, shocked. "This is bullshit! Only heroes can do th-"
Suddenly, my eyes widened, as realization shot through me once again. Skeletony had a unique name. His birth was out of the ordinary. What's more, he was not a regular person, but was half-man, half-skeleton. I was shook to my core. That meant... that he... I couldn't continue on this course! If I killed him... I would be racist!
I blasted my spell to the side, exploding the wall behind him and sending him ragdolling across the room and through several tables and walls, coming to lie in a crumpled heap in a pile of bricks and splinters.
"Thank goodness," I sighed (TL Note: 'Thank Goodness' means よかった).

Re: Pokemon Red
A young man is walking on his usual route from school back home while playing Pokemon Go when the driver of a truck loses control and run into the young man ending his life. But the young man awakens and finds he has been reincarnated, and as his favorite games protagonist Red. With the help of his vast knowledge of pokemon and a reincarnation system will he become a pokemon master or will he aim higher? The story will follow close to the games stories (as best as i remember some of them) however there will be some slight to severe alterations as the pokemon world lacks a bit of common sence that would apply to anyworld. As the story goes on regions will change and new pokemon exclusive to those regions will appear like the game. ------------- Hey everyone this is my first novel and a random idea that came to me while i was reading a reincarnation novel here on RR and i was playing a pokemon game on the side and it kinda came to me. l will have polls occasionally to see how people want things to go down or what possible direction to go. Now a couple warnings the first being grammer. I'm not the best at gramer so if bad grammer triggers you in some way its best to just not bother. Second warning and most important is that this is a more mature take on pokemon. Seriously if you grew up with pokemon like me you probably would like some mature pokemon story. So there will be profanity here in there. Not going to see people cursing up a storm except maybe one of the teams. Especialy team skull they got the whole sterotype going. Gore.... honostly not sure if im going to have detailed pokemon death or just have the normal fainting and any death will be in the background or be hinted at. There will be sexual content but im going to have those in side chapters so people who don't care for them can just skip them.
