"Ehehe! That's right!"
Aqua chuckled awkwardly and said, "So, just forget about those unrealistic ideas and hurry up and pick a skill for your reincarnation!"
"The sooner you go to another world, the sooner you can enjoy its wonders! As a goddess, I'm really busy! I can't just sit here dealing with you forever!"
She just wanted to get rid of this troublesome guy, Renzo, as soon as possible.
The next moment, Renzo suddenly had a realization and said to Aqua, "The celestial contract states that I can only choose one of these listed rewards for my reincarnation, right? But what if I choose something that's not on the list? Would that be allowed?"
Her brain struggled to keep up. "Wait, what? I didn't quite catch that. Explain it clearly!"
"Well…" Renzo paused before saying, "You're the Goddess of Water, right? That means you should be able to grant people permanent statuses or talents, right? Like, say… water element affinity?"
He was just testing the waters.
Surprisingly, Aqua's eyes lit up upon hearing that. She clapped her hands and said, "Why didn't I think of that? Alright, I'll grant you top-tier water element affinity!"
Before Renzo could even react, she rushed up to him, placed her hands on his head, and gently kissed his forehead.
In an instant, Renzo felt a refreshing sensation spread from his forehead throughout his entire body.
Something inside him had definitely changed, but he couldn't quite tell what it was just yet.
"There! I granted your request! Now hurry up and pick a skill so you can reincarnate!" Aqua urged impatiently.
She was afraid Renzo would come up with another crazy idea, so she just wanted to send him off as soon as possible.
After all, that was the only way to cover up the fact that she had called the wrong person in the first place!
"No problem! I'll take this one—[Fantasy Creation]! That's fine, right?"
Renzo cooperated smoothly.
Since he had already received a bonus, he wasn't going to push his luck.
If he made too much of a fuss and other gods found out, he wasn't sure what would happen to Aqua… but he was very sure that he would be the one to suffer for it.
After all, his very existence in this situation was already full of issues.
"Oh? Fantasy Creation? That's actually a pretty nice ability! Alright then, it's decided!"
Aqua wasted no time, performing the reincarnation ritual at record speed. She granted Renzo the ability and immediately activated the reincarnation magic, sending him straight to another world.
Seeing Renzo finally disappear, Aqua collapsed onto the floor in relief and let out a long sigh. "Finally! That scared the life out of me!"
"Um… Excuse me, but where is this?"
Suddenly, a voice came from behind her, making Aqua jump in fright.
She shot up from the ground and spun around defensively. "Who's there?!"
After confirming that it wasn't Renzo, she let out a sigh of relief and finally had a chance to take a good look at the newcomer.
He looked oddly familiar.
Then, she suddenly remembered and pointed at him in realization. "Oh! I got it! You're Satou Kazuma, right?"
"You're the one who tried to save someone, pushed them out of the way, and ended up getting scared to death by a tractor! Then… blah blah blah…"
Hearing Aqua mock him, Kazuma immediately exploded in anger, launching into a heated argument with her.
Meanwhile, in the Heroic Continent…Kingdom of Belzerg
Renzo's vision blurred, and the next thing he knew, he was standing just outside an unfamiliar city.
"Oh ho! This must be Axel, the starter town from the original story, right?"
He muttered to himself while observing the towering city walls and the bustling people in the distance.
Despite being called a "starter town," it was actually quite large—big enough to be considered a small city. And the scenery of this world was unexpectedly beautiful!
The air was especially fresh.
"Alright! First, I should go register at the Adventurer's Guild!"
"But before that, I need to get some money first!"
With that thought in mind, Renzo recalled the structure of Swordsman Renzo's Cold Iron Sword and decided to use [Fantasy Creation] to craft a replica of it.
Swordsman Renzo's sword was a fine piece of work—extremely sharp and durable.
"Hmm… but I should modify the design a bit. Let's make it more stylish and a bit more Western-styled!"
"Alright! Done! Fantasy Creation!"
After finalizing the blueprint in his mind, Renzo activated Fantasy Creation to bring his designed sword into reality.
In the next moment, his mental energy was rapidly consumed. After using about one percent of it, a sword materialized before him, forming gradually from the hilt upwards. Soon, the entire weapon was complete, along with its scabbard.
"One percent, huh? Still manageable." Catching the sword and calculating the energy cost, Renzo nodded in satisfaction.
Drawing the sword, he performed a quick sword routine before testing its sharpness and durability on a stone slab in the workshop.
With a single slash, he sliced a millstone-sized rock clean in half.
"Might as well make another one for myself."
Thinking this, Renzo immediately conjured another sword of similar material, then fastened it to his waist before heading into town.
Entering a weapon shop, Renzo raised his sword slightly to show it off to the owner. "Hey, do you buy weapons here?"
The shopkeeper's eyes immediately locked onto the decorated sword in Renzo's hand, clearly intrigued. However, he didn't rush to give an answer and instead examined it closely.
"We do buy weapons, but I'll need to check the quality first!"
"Fair enough. Go ahead and appraise it. Give me an estimate."
Five minutes later, Renzo walked out of the shop with a satisfied grin and a hefty pouch of coins at his waist.
"5 million Eris, huh? Not bad, not bad at all!" he muttered to himself. "Looks like I'll never have to worry about money again."
Even without taking on quests, he could live a luxurious life.
Of course, he was just joking. He still needed to register as an adventurer and complete missions—for the sake of leveling up and earning skill points.
Sure, he was already strong, but he wanted to become even stronger.
After getting directions to the Adventurer's Guild, Renzo reached his destination in just a few minutes.
As he pushed open the door, he was immediately greeted by a rowdy and lively atmosphere…
Or rather, he was mostly drawn in by the beautiful, scantily clad ladies inside.
"Ahh… Gotta love anime worlds! I'm in heaven! 😊"
He smiled to himself, thoroughly enjoying the moment.
Traversing worlds? Best decision ever!
Naturally, Renzo's handsome presence caught the attention of several people in the guild.
A burly, bald-headed man sitting nearby smirked and called out to him, "Hey, kid. You new to Axel? What brings you to the Adventurer's Guild?"
From his outfit alone, it was clear Renzo wasn't a local.
"Hmm?" Renzo raised an eyebrow before replying, "Yeah, I'm new. Planning to start my journey as an adventurer. Came here to register."
Then, looking at the bald man, he asked, "Any advice, bro?"
The man didn't seem as intimidating as his rugged appearance suggested. He pointed towards a row of counters in the back. "If you wanna register, just head over there. Oh, and one more thing—Miss Luna, the receptionist, is an absolute beauty."
He then grinned and added, "But if you mess with her, the entire guild will become your enemy."
Patting Renzo's shoulder, he gave some friendly encouragement. "Good luck, kid!"
"Got it! Thanks, bro! I'll go register first. Drinks on me next time!"
With that, Renzo made his way toward the registration counter.
