As Ren blinked he was no longer in the white room, instead he was in the capital of an all too familiar country: Lugunica.
"Guess im here, this all feels unreal but I can tell it is."
"Ooh look to your left, there's mr save point guy!" Kawaru exclaimed
"How are you in my head?!"
"I'm glad you asked. See when reincarnating someone I have the choice to continue my job or watch over them as a voice in their head."
"So you quit your job?"
"Yes" Kawaru replied proudly
"Why?"
"I was bored." Kawaru could sense how unimpressed Ren was. "P-plus if it would be interesting to see how you'd navigate in this world"
"Anyways are you gonna find Subaru or what. And remember, whatever you choose to do is your choice, you don't have to follow the storyline."
"You could pull a pridebaru, a lustbaru, a wrathbaru, whatever you do is your choice, and remember, you could always reset."
"Thanks for the insight but I think I'll go down the normal route."
With that Ren walks over to the appa guy hoping to get some answers.
"Wanna buy an appa? They're the best in the capital!"
"No thanks but I'm wondering, have you seen a girl that looks around me age, has wierd clothing and raven hair"

"Yeah I have, she tried to pay with some foreign currency. Anyways I think she went that way." Appa guy points in the direction of an alleyway.
"Thank you sir, have a great day!" And with that Ren walks to alleyway.
"Hey Kawaru, is it just me or am I getting stared ?" Ren says as he notices a lot of girls staring and blushing at him.
"Are you dense or what? Clearly they're attracted by your looks and because of lust. Or maybe they're attracted by my looks~."
"Whatever, you know you don't have a chance with them."
"Nuh uh."
"Kawaru, I need to know, do I still have my stuff?"
"You have whatever you had on you when you died and yes you can charge your phone with cursed energy."
"Thanks. What time is it anyways?"
"4:51 pm now hurry up! The events aren't gonna unfold itself!"
Ren quickly makes his way to the alleyway and sees a raven haired girl with mean eyes sitting on the steps.

"Is this how it's supposed to be? Because none of it makes sense!" The girl exclaims
"This is a different world summons, right?! Where my main character set up status bar damn it?!" The girl complained as she pulled out her phone.
"Are you alright?" [+ 35 points]
The girl's eyes widened as she realized they were both from Japan.
"You were summoned too?! How did you get here?! I blinked and I arrived here."
"This place sucks. If I'm you're gonna summon me at least give me an Excalibur or a magic grimoire or something.!"
She finally calms down after going on a 5 minute rant about this world. "Anyways, how did you end up here?"
"Let's just say truck-kun got me, I talked to this very annoying diety, and then I was reincarnated here."
"Anyways do you have anything on you?"
"I've got my phone!" The girl proudly showed her clearly outdated flip phone that's seen better days.
"Same, I've got my phone and a gun." Ren showed his very expensive newer phone that he'd gotten the previous week.
"Why do you have a gun?!" The girl exclaimed.
"I come from a very rich family that has a lot of enemies. Anyways what's your name? I'm Ishiwawa Ren. And you are?"
"I'm glad you asked! I'm Natsumi Subaru, a shut in neet!" She says proudly as if it's something to be proud of while doing her signature pose 🕺.
As they head the sound footsteps Ren and Subaru turn their heads to see three figures approaching them.
One of looked as though they'd have trouble fighting a child, the second one looked skinny and had a chain around his neck, the third one looked like an ogre.

"Who the fuck are you?" Ren says as gets on guard.
[+ 60 points]
'Kawaru how do I channel cursed energy?'
'Easy, control your emotions, if you can do that then you can channel it.'
Ren does his best to control his emotions and starts to channel his cursed energy before using construction to create two daggers.

"Move it, move it! Out of my way you guys!Hurry!

"Yes! I knew you'd find me eventually cute girl who summoned us!" The idiot says.
"Summoned? I don't know what you're talking about but I'm really busy. Sorry. Now live strong okay?"
The girl effortlessly jumps from wall to wall making her way to the rooftop.
"Wait. What? Where are you going?"
Before anyone could react Ren cut the skinny ones tongue and kicked the ogre one in the nuts causing them to fall from pain.
"You bastard, we'll make you pay!" They screamed out as the ogre looking charges at Ren while the skinny one holds a knife at Subaru's throat.
"That's enough!" The silver haired girl says as everyone turns their heads.
"And just who in the hell are you?!" The skinny one screams out.
"Stop now and I'll forgive you. If you would be so kind as to give back what you stole.
"You can't be serious."
"Please it's very important to me, I'll turn the other cheek concerning the other belongings. "
"But I can't let you have that. So hand it over."
"You mean you didn't come to save these kids?"
"What strange clothes they have. If you're asking me if I have any connection to them, I'd she's to say no."
"Well, then you've got no business with us, little girl."
"If someone stole from you it was the brat who just ran by."
"Yeah what he said. That way. She ran that way." They said as they point in the direction felt went.
"Those three don't appear to be lying, so I need to go after her." She says as she starts running in the direction felt went.
"But, regardless of that. I can't overlook what going on here." She says before reaching out her hand and materializing ice shards and shoots them at the thieves.
"You've lost your advantage in numbers. You might as well give up." A mysterious voice says as a floating grey cat pops out of the girl's hair.
"Retreat now and I won't chase you. Decide quickly I'm in a hurry."
"You bitch! Next time I see you I won't go easy on you!"
"Do anything to her and I'll haunt you and your kin forever. Not that you'll have any kin if I take care of things now." Dumb, dumb, and dumber run off in fear.
