〜〜 Haruto Kuramoto's Perspective 〜〜

"Hmm... Hmm... Huh? Where am I?"

Oh, right. I remember now. I was reincarnated by a god. And I was sleeping, leaning against this tree.

As I looked around while sitting, I saw a vast grassland stretching out with mountains in the distance. And more than anything, being surrounded by nature made the air clear and soothing.

"Oh, wow. This is becoming exciting. So, is this another world...?"

Wait a minute? Something's strange about my voice. My voice wasn't this high-pitched before, right? I feel like I've heard this voice somewhere before.

I put my hand on my throat and tried to speak again.

"Hm, hmm! Ahh, ahh, ahh... Huh?!"

It's definitely weird. I wouldn't sound like this if I had a cold, right?

"Wow, what beautiful hands... Could it be?!"

As I looked down, I saw a full chest, and the hair color reflected in my eyes was not black but white, with straight hair that reached my waist. Moreover, it was silky and felt pleasant.

And finally, I put my hand between my legs to check if it was there, but to no surprise, the symbol of a man that should be there was gone.

"It's... gone... I... I can't believe it. This appearance... it's the avatar from the FPS game I played... right? Why am I in this form?"

In the midst of my agitation, a screen suddenly appeared in front of me. It was one of the convenient features of that game, video chat.

'He-hey, Haruto Kuramoto-kun. I-I see you've been reincarnated safely. Do you... d-do you feel any discomfort in your body? Ahahahahaha...'

I glared at the god with a sullen face.

'Ah, with beautiful white hair, amethyst-colored eyes, and a slender body with D-cup breasts! Wow, she's like a girl straight out of a painting! Haruto-kun, you have talent for creating avatars! Ahahahaha... hahaha...'

....Hey, don't try to just laugh it off.

"....Don't you have anything else to say?"

After looking around nervously, the god stared straight at me and said, 'I'm sorry, I made a mistake.'

He readily admitted his mistake.

"Please explain how this happened!"

As I said that, the god's face became apologetic, and he began to explain.

'Well, you see, I chose the quickest method, but I made a mistake at the very end, and that's how it turned out like this.'

"The quickest method?"

'Yes, that's right. I copied the settings and data from the FPS game you were playing and created a body based on your original body, then reflected your abilities and game data into it. It's a kind of duplication method. After that, I was supposed to put your soul in and send you off... but I mistakenly put it into the avatar you were using in the game.'

Looking behind the god, it seemed like the body that was supposed to contain my soul was lying there... huh?

"Couldn't you have simply put the data into that body without doing all this?"

'Well, you see, that takes more time. To put it simply, I would have to rewrite a lot of things for bug fixes, so it's time-consuming, and I didn't want to do it. By following the method I just mentioned, we can identify the original model and easily fix any bugs because we know where they are. I did the fixing work thoroughly, so you don't have to worry about that with your body. Also, I think you might have realized by now, but since your soul is compatible with that body... there's no way to start over. I'm sorry.'

So, there's no way to fix it anymore, huh? Sigh...

"Hmm? Come to think of it, this might be more convenient."

'Huh? What do you mean?'

"When we were transferred to the new world, our whole class was transported, right?"

'Yes, that's right. What about it?'

"If they find out that one person is missing..."

'That would cause a big commotion... Oh!?'

It seems like the god also realized.

'They'll come looking for you! With your current appearance, you can deceive them!'

That's right. If the officials of the country come looking for me and find me, they might forcibly take me to the country and try to reunite me with my classmates. No, they will definitely make me meet my classmates. Moreover, since it's the government, there's a possibility they will search tirelessly to find me, even if it means digging through grassroots.

"Yeah, with this appearance, nobody would suspect me to be Haruto Kuramoto, right? God, I'm not Kuramoto Haruto anymore. I'll live as Elaina, the FPS player."

'Alright... I understand. Then let me continue the explanation from earlier. There are some differences between the game and now, so I'll explain.'

According to the god's explanation, I learned that the basic aspects of the game I played remained the same.

In the top left of my field of vision, there is a circular radar, and in the bottom right, I can see a translucent screen displaying my HP, remaining ammo for the main weapon, remaining ammo for the secondary weapon, grenade count, number of healing potions, and number of revival potions.

And just like in the game, I can open the menu screen by thinking about it.

Additionally, when I defeat enemies, I accumulate credits, which I can use to buy weapons, ammunition, fuel for vehicles, repairs, clothing, and even food from a store. It's convenient not having to go all the way to a physical shop... Although, it's unlikely there would be a shop in this other world.

"Other than the addition of the store, it's not much different from the game."

'Indeed. There are some other changes as well. We removed the log out button and certain parts of the settings, and we added your everyday clothes from the world you came from to the store's clothing section. We expanded the variety of food available and included daily necessities. We also increased the capacity of the storage, or what you would call the inventory, although I didn't tamper with the items inside. Please check if there are any missing items.'

"Understood."

I opened the menu, accessed the storage, and checked the ammunition, potions, and dropped items. I also inspected the armory and hangar for custom parts and checked the costume storage.

......Yeah, everything seems fine. It's nice that the storage capacity has been increased from 200 to 500.

"No issues here."

'Next, let me explain about your body. As I mentioned before, your body is not based on an RPG but an FPS game setting.'

"Yes."

'We enhanced various aspects, including your physical abilities. Furthermore, as long as your body is alive, it will heal from any injury or even regenerate lost body parts over time.'

"Enhanced physical abilities are good, but isn't regenerating lost body parts like being a monster?!"

'Well, in an FPS game, do bodies ever get lost or damaged?'

...No. Even with realistic blood effects, losing body parts is unheard of.

'And one more thing, the greatest feature of your body is that you won't experience any of the typical concerns women have.'

Huh? What is this god talking about?

'It seems you don't understand. To be more specific, you won't age even as you grow older! No matter how much you eat, you won't gain weight! You won't have any uncomfortable days! In short, you won't have any of the various worries women usually face!'

If I were to tell that to a woman, she would definitely become an enemy...

'How about that? Isn't it amazing? When I told the goddesses, they said things like, “I'm so jealous~” or “Guilty!!” or “That person has made me their enemy.” or “I'll annihilate them!”'

Gyaaaahhh!! Because of this guy, the goddesses have become my enemies too! And to think that even the gods have such isssues!

"Please don't do anything unnecessaryyyyy!"

'Next, let's talk about weapons and tools. Only you can use your weapons and vehicles.'

The god continued to casually explain. I wanted to say this and that, but the explanation was more important, so I listened.

'It's perfectly safe even if others try to take your weapons! The moment someone other than you tries to take your weapon, it disappears and returns to the armory. And in the case of vehicles, even if someone tries to start the engine, it won't start.'

Oh, that's convenient! It's truly equipment exclusively for me!

'And also, I've made it so that you can handle all kinds of vehicles like a pro, so feel free to use them!'

.....Well, since it attracts attention, I'll try not to use them too much.

'Be careful when using healing potions and revival potions. In this world, they are considered equivalent to legendary potions, so use them wisely.'

"Understood!"

In games, you can obtain these items anytime and anywhere, but in reality, potions that can revive someone would become legendary.

'Lastly, there are 20 silver coins in the item box for you to use. I'll mark the town on the map for you.'

The marker appeared on the map. Judging from the location, it seems I can reach it in about an hour.

"Well then, I'll familiarize myself with this body a bit before heading there."

'Huh? You're not going immediately?'

"Well, I want to correct any discrepancies in movement between this body and my previous one."

Since my height and build are completely different, I need to move around and get used to it.

'Alright, I understand! I'll maintain the barrier as it is. The barrier will disappear the moment you step outside, so make sure to contact me if something happens. Goodbye!'

The communication with the god was cut off.

Now then, I should get used to this body to some extent before I find myself in a battle. Let's start with some shadow boxing.

I lightly warmed up in place and then began shadow boxing.
