Thanks to a Different World Reincarnation

"All right, here we go!

After all the preparation, the old man switched on his headset with his excited, slightly trembling fingers as he lay in bed.

And after 10 seconds of meditating on his eyes while listening to the countdown, the old man was in the virtual reality world the next moment he learned the feeling of being distracted for a moment.

"Is this virtual reality?"

A man can often be seen in a meadow stretching out in front of him.

"May I?

And a few minutes after being seen as it was, he was reluctantly called out from behind.

As the man looked back a little surprised that he had been called out, he stood there like a knight hidden up to his face with full body metal armor (full plate).

"Hello"

"Yes, hello"

Relationship fundamentals start with greetings. When the man greeted him, the armored knight also returned a proper greeting. Every appearance is a gentle voice on the back.

I don't know if it's a man or a woman by the looks of it, but the man decided he could say a decent greeting and he seemed like a good man.

"Mmm. Again, welcome to the world of New World & New Life. My name is Chris and I am the guide (navigator) who will be supporting the tutorial that is about to begin. May I have your name, please?

Did he regain his mind with a mild cough, Chris has spoken to the man in a clear tone, unlike the first reluctant voice.

Chris is a name that is both male and female. The man heartily laughs at me wondering if I'm after him because of his unknown gender and all-body metal armor.

"Nice to meet you, my name is Jin. Best regards,"

The man tells the name he had in mind beforehand. It's a familiar name for us, playing mostly with this name in the case of games where the main character doesn't have an original name.

By the way, it is character that has a polite tone. There are exceptions, but a man's basic response is to speak in a polite tone irrelevant to his age. This happens first, especially when we meet for the first time and when we talk to the clerk.

Then a confirmation window appeared in the air, labeled 'Gin' and Katakana.

[Confirmation of name Jin YES · NO]

No problem so when I gently touched the YES button with my fingertips, the window disappeared so that the light could be solved. Gin's mind also rises on a virtual reality appearance.

That's how I predicted Jin's confirmation was over, and Chris talked to me again.

"Thank you for confirming. Now we're going to give Mr. Jin a tutorial where he will learn how to use the tools and skills he will need to live in this world. Also at the end of the tutorial there is a fight. And just to note, experience with existing skills is available, but no new skills will be acquired. Please note that that's the only difference. The tutorial will basically go ahead in quest format, but please don't hesitate to ask me if you have any questions.

Yes, at once. When Chris stepped back, a window appeared in front of Jin again.

[Tutorial ① Check your belongings] … Please open the tools menu and check your belongings.

"Be aware to check your belongings and say 'Tools Menu' or think strongly about looking at your belongings"

When I followed Chris' advice to try it out, I got a tool menu window with no problems. The menu contains two different colors of the default medicine bottle icons.

When Jin tapped unexpectedly, he also explained that the item name tapped while wanting to know more about the effect.

[HP Recovery Potion (Small)... restore HP 20 times]

[MP Recovery Potion (Small)... restore MP 20 times]

"When closing the window, remember strongly whether to similarly 'close' it in your mouth. If you actually want to move items in and out, if you keep that in mind, a white disc-shaped gate will appear, so go in and out of there. Don't worry, even those larger than the diameter of the disc can get in and out properly. The only way to verify your belongings is to open the tool menu, but you can only use the gate to move things in and out."

Strongly mindful as Chris said, something like a white disc appeared in front of him. When I stuck my hand in it, I could take out the potion. Jin is delighted to say, "It looks good like storage magic or space magic".

[Tutorial ① Check your belongings... Clear Reward: Small HP Recovery Potion]

Seems like you'll get paid when you complete the tutorial.

"Congratulations. Good luck because I can give you a reward for every tutorial that is cleared in this way. Then this will be the reward."

"Thank you very much, sir."

When Jin receives a clearance reward from Chris and stores it at the gate, he closes the tool menu and moves on to the tutorial.

[Tutorial ② Check your gear] … Open the gear window to check your gear.

When Jin was just as aware of checking the gear without thinking deeply, now the gear menu appeared.

If you check your current equipment.

[Sturdy Clothing... High Quality Clothing Defense Made of Sturdy Fabric 1]

[Sturdy trousers... High quality trousers made of sturdy fabricDefense 1]

[Sturdy Shoes... High Quality Shoes Made of Sturdy Leather No Special Effects]

[Sturdy bag… no special effect of high quality bag made of sturdy leather]

No armor, no weapons, a little lonely gin.

"Mr. Jin doesn't possess craftsmanship skills, so he doesn't have any weapons or armor. If you have it, I could have given you weapons and protective equipment to match your craftsmanship skills."

The first ear words came out and bewildered Jin.

You noticed that, Chris overlaps words.

"Didn't you know? Some of the ability skills are called craftsmanship skills, which are actually almost essential skills for weapons, magic, and production. Simply put, there are three broad types of production systems: [swordsmanship] and [fire magic]. If you could look at the detailed description of the skills, it would say..."

I guess what Jin had in mind was technical skills. However, Jin did not confirm the details of those skills because there was only one choice, and I can imagine it somehow.

"Just don't worry. Attacks are usually possible without problems, even if you do not possess craft skills. Also, as a remedy, I can give you this person."

And Chris, who encourages me in some sorry voice, gave it to me...

[Wooden Sword... Sword Attack Made of Sturdy Tree + 5]

"Usually the attack power of a weapon you can possess at this stage is +8, so the performance is slightly inferior, but forgive me there"

……

"... what is wrong with you?

Ask Chris if he felt anxious about Jin staring at the weapon he was given, or something like he was afraid.

The wooden sword eliminates the opposite of the wooden knife, which is well seen in Kyoto souvenirs, and is shaped like a pair stuck together on the back. The sword body is about 1 m long, the pattern is longer than the normal one-handed sword, and both hands can be held.

Meanwhile, the sashimi is made of wood, but the pattern and the parts of the sashimi are made of metal, and the pattern is wrapped around something like leather with anti-slip. The center of the sword body is carved with a wide range of grooves, which together with the reduction of thickness are accented by the design, simple but decorated on the area of the ochre and the patterned head.

Never flashy, but solid construction the opposite of the cheepness of the name wooden sword.

Look at such a sword. The gin was solidifying for one reason.

I was impressed.

"... may I shake it for a moment?

"What, yeah. Sure."

When given permission, Jin tries to gently bareback remembering the swordplay she took in class when she was in high school.

I used to wave a bamboo knife in Kendo class when I was in high school, but I've never waved a proper sword (weapon), not to mention made of wood.

Set up your sword, and feel the weight of your weapon every time you wave.

Also, in the VR world, it's an 18-year-old physical setting.

This is how you can move your body freely in this virtual world, while in reality it is the body of an old man who will soon run out of breath. The expression of joy was modest because of the calm of his age, but if he were any younger, he would have shrugged around. Weaponry, no matter how old it is, is a powerful trick to manhood.

There was just a young man waving his sword with a full smile.

"I'm sorry I let you take the time. Let me take care of this sword. Thank you."

"No. Never mind. I'm glad you're happy."

Zinn finishes the bareback and once again apologizes and thanks Chris.

Chris' face is invisible with a full-face helmet, but I can feel him smiling somehow.

A further question now struck Jin's head as to whether the presence of Fu and Chris was AI or whether people were dealing with it.

"Then you can move on. Check out the gear section earlier."

I shook my doubts off my head and looked at them like I was told, the sword was already registered in the gear section. Sure, I've been wielding a lot of swords before, so if I wasn't equipped, the opposite would be a funny story.

"This time Mr. Jin was equipped with nature and sword. The same was true when you were a tool, but if you imagine it, the registration will basically take place automatically. If you get used to it, you can easily equip it, tools and use it, as you just did. Weapons and items are easy to imagine, so I think you'll get used to them soon"

Jin wondered whether it would be difficult to limit the use of "weapons" to protective equipment. Certainly the full-body metal armor like Chris is wearing, all the more so because I remember hearing stories about it taking time to equip.

"In the case of protective equipment, there are things that take time and effort to equip, like the whole body metal armor (plate armor) I wear. Of course, it can be worn from scratch, but it's actually a lot of work, so it's a good idea to use the pre-registration feature of the gear option to get geared in an instant."

When Jin was told to check the gear menu, he found an item there called pre-registered gear. Equipment such as clothing and trousers, excluding wooden swords, had already been registered there.

"Now try 'change' and put it out in your mouth"

When Jin puts it in his mouth as he was told, the sword in his hand disappears.

It was a flash of gin, but I immediately called the tool menu to make sure there was a wooden sword there and breathe.

"I changed that to pre-registered gear, so a wooden sword that wasn't pre-registered went back to the tools menu. Now be aware or try dragging and dropping the wooden sword in the tool bag when you pre-register it with Equipment A."

Now I'll try dragging and dropping instead of thinking about it, but I could register for this without any problems either. And when I put it in my mouth again, "Change," this time it changed to a wooden sword lowered on my hips.

"Pre-registered weapons will be equipped in a position to carry them, if not particularly conscious, but it is possible to equip them that way if you imagine a state with a sword. Pre-registration is currently only one of a, but it is also possible to increase it more. For example, if you register without wearing anything, it will be convenient for you to rest in your inn because you will soon finish dressing. I think there are many other ways to use it, so take advantage of it."

Jin does find it convenient.

I guess I made this kind of specification in balance with the laborious part of reality and gameplay, but it's vicious depending on how you use it. For example, you can use magician gear to restrain them with ranged attacks, and when the enemy approaches, you can use warrior gear to fight melee fights.

I think gameplay makes this change stronger and stronger to use, but if you think you're going to role-play the VR world, you should just keep it to the use of changing levels.

Well, I decided to put Jin's judgment on hold, trying to figure out how to use it.

[Tutorial ② Let's Check Gear Clear Reward: MP Recovery Potion (Small)]

"Congratulations. As you may already understand, as long as the image of Jin is clear, you are free to change keywords and reposition menus and gates. You can also make finer changes, such as foldering and registering items by type, or collecting commonly used items to create new windows. It depends on Jin's image."

Some people only want to move forward conveniently and efficiently as a game, while others want to enjoy the virtual world in pursuit of as much reality as possible. It's a game for one, so they'll leave the judgment around it to the players.

For Jin, whose top priority is to enjoy the VR world, this system, capable of ad hoc response, was appreciated.
