My Bothersome Life Chapter 1

A young girl with chestnut brown hair wearing her nice ironed high school uniform walks towards the subway station in the gaze of the warm purple sky to get back home in time for dinner . She was thinking of which anime to watch when she gets home, as she remembers that a new episode of "Shokugeki no soma" has come out that day . Suddenly, she sees a young child wearing a beige polo T-shirt with soft blue shorts tripping towards the steep stairs . On the impulse, the school girl grabs the young boy and clings onto his body as they both slowly fall towards the ground . And then she blanked out with the sounds of, "Call the ambulance!" and "Is she dead?"

I regained my consciousness in an empty white room . The first thing that came into my mind was: Is this what people call heaven? It didn't seem like this room had an end to it, as it seemed to run infinitely in whatever direction I looked in . Suddenly, a man in about his twenties promptly appeared in front of my eyes . "Hello, I am guessing you must be very confused right now," said the man who was wearing a suit dressed in white .

"More like, I was sure I died just a moment ago," I replied simply .

The man made a strained smile as he was thinking what he should say . In a way, he looked pitiful as he had an expression like he was a salaryman just doing his job . After a minute, he suddenly bowed down . "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to kill you . It was just that I was overworked lately by my superior and I just wanted some time to relax and vent my stress out," he confessed .

Looking at my confused expression he added, "Oh, I'm this being that you human beings call God . I guess this explanation isn't helping as your expression just looks more confused . You see: this realm has an hierarchy that manages the souls of human beings . Currently, I'm near the bottom of the hierarchy, as I am forced to do most of the work . So, it isn't strange that I would play my favourite video games from the human realm when I finally got a day off yesterday . "

My expression got darker, as I started to feel that I didn't want to know what happened afterwards . God continued, "So, I was snacking on a bowl of potato chips, you know that whenever you play video games, you must have potato chips . "

"Uh huh, and- ", I responded grimly .

"So, while, I was snacking, I accidently dropped one potato chip into the human realm where the child tripped over the potato chip onto a den of steep stairs . You died while absorbing the shock of the fall while protecting the boy . " He exclaimed in a panic .

"So, what happens next?" I asked not expecting a proper answer .

God suddenly put an serious expression on as he explained, "you currently have two choices: to cease existing or to be reincarnated into another world, since I do not have the authority to take back the events that has already happened . Plus, because this incident was entirely my mistake, so I'm going to give you some cheats that you can choose to use in your next world . "

By then, I pretty much wasn't expecting anything from the person who caused my death by accidentally spilling a potato chip into the human realm, however God suddenly laid out many cards in front of me . I was assuming these pictures on those cards would contain the ability I may get to use in the next world . "Since, I'm a generous person, I'll let you pick three cheats, as three is my lucky number . " He exclaimed while gesturing towards the cards .

I had to admit that there were some very interesting abilities, such as unlimited MP potential (the magician), the sword master (the knight), the massive intellect (the ruler) and such and such more . After deliberating for a while, I saw an interesting card, it looked like a goddess holding a book (infinite library) . I asked, "what is the ability of the infinite library?"

God perked up and replied, "the infinite library is a dimension space where you can access any kind of knowledge in the world . The knowledge is presented in books where they are placed inside the dimensional library . " In my past life, I really liked reading books, manga and light novels, so I knew I had to choose this card . Plus, if I get transported to a medieval like setting, I could access the library to get more knowledge about the world . Getting to know the common sense of the world is important!

In the end, I said, "I will choose the unlimited MP, the dimensional library and the second chance card!" The second chance card was another interesting card that I discovered . If I happened to die early on in the other life I would be reincarnated into, I would like to have an advantage when I would get my restarted life . I wouldn't want to be possibility reincarnated into a worm or a cow .

As soon as I said my decision, the white room seemed to fade into the dark, while I went unconscious . 'I hope I reincarnate into a world with at least modern technology,' I thought .
