"Captain on the bridge!! ".
" Huh".
Byakuya Shirayishi opened his eyes and he was confused for a moment.
He observed his surroundings and found out that he was on the rooftoop of a tall building and everything around looked so unfamiliar.
"Where am I? ".He was confused.
[ You have reincarnated in the world of Honkai Impact ]
He froze after hearing an unfamiliar robotic voice in his mind, but he ignored it and asked the critical question that was bothering him.
" You are saying that I am now in the world of Honkai? ".
[Yes] answered the voice.
After hearing the answer he got depressed and then determination flashed in his eyes, he started walking towards the railing on the roof as if to jump of the roof.
[Hey! Hey! Stop trying to commit suicide, I just saved your life ]
"Heh! What do you expect this is honkai! A world where only girls have honkai adaptibility and while 9/10 men will die or become zombies if infected with honkai energy. You expect me a powerless mortal to live, I might as well die early to avoid future troubles " Byakuya said in his mind.
[Host I am your system, don't you want to enjoy life? Do you want to waste a second opportunity?"
"Really ,don't try to fool me, I am super smart " Byakuya said to the system.
Although it was tough to admit it he knew the system was right.
Just like the system said he can't waste this second opportunity in life even if he would die in the future , he wants to die without any regrets.
In his last life he had a rare congenital disease which prevented him from leaving the bed, so he spent his time reading manga, watching anime and playing games.
One time he had depressing thoughts and wanted to end his life to stop this torment, at that time he played honkai and he was infected by the hope and attittude of never giving up so for him honkai was never a game, he liked each and every character and they left an unforgettable impression on his mind.
As a man who was bedridden almost all his life he wasn't exactly mentally sane. So you can say he developed a special affection for these characters, well only female because he despised most male characters with exception of a few, and treated the rest as losers.
"Which one is it?" He asked his system.
[It's Honkai Impact III]
Byakuya breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this as long it wasn't 2 or 1 he can do something.
Although the difficulty was reduced from Hell mode to Hard mode, it was better than nothing.
You know honkai is notorious for its bleak treatment of men and the lack of honkai adaptability says it all.
Still he needs to watch out for that green bishop Otto who is the biggest cuckhold in this universe, as he doesn't have a legal identity yet there's a high chance he would be sent to a lab for slicing.
Well he wasn't that pessimistic as he had a system maybe it had a solution, as it is said in those fan fiction there should be a novice gift pack which should give him something like saiyan bloodline or saitamas limiter or something powerful.
With a voice full of expectations he asked the system "System do I have a novice gift pack".
[The system is in the process of installing , so novice gift pack is not available so you should try to make do on your own. As for your identity you are reincarnated, after this you can regain your memories after you go home and sleep, the address is on the key and it's in your left pocket of your pants or you can get another identity in the city which won't be affected by honkai where you will have a wealthy inheritance and can live a nourishing long life. So what do you choose Host? ]
"So I can choose? " bayakuya asked.
[Host I personally want you to choose the second option, as it is your second chance at life you should enjoy it more and you shouldn't waste it]
Byakuya pondered for moment and asked "And then what? I should watch those tragedies happen while knowing of it, I know I am not some saviour, I am just a regular guy who is a bit perverted, I am also afraid of death even then I don't wanna run away knowing all this, because it will leave a bad taste in my mouth and I also want to give those tragic girls a warm home ".
[Host I think the last reason is the real reason for you staying]
" This is nagazora city right? "asked Byakuya.
[It is host and there isn't much time till the 3rd Honkai impact so you should be prepared and don't die early ]
" You don't have to worry, and a person's life has meaning not by its length but by the process "
Precisely because his life was so dull that he longs for adventure deep within , he wants to participate in this story not be a bystander and he also wants to shout "Fight for all the good in the world " like a certain paramecium.
" I want to dye this imperfect world in my colour. "said Byakuya as he spread his hands as if to embrace the world.
With the sunset in the backdrop the light shone on a white haired golden eyed young man with an innocent and confident smile.
" It's time to go home and prepare for tomorrow " said Byakuya and he went on his way.
While he was walking through the school corridors he was in his own world and he passed by a purple haired girl.
She looked at his receding back murmured "Shiraishi-san...."
