The Cursed Gamer

Chapter 2: Reincarnation (2)



Chapter 2: Reincarnation (2)

The Neutral Zone is a place where even Gods are suppressed of their powers. In that place, using powers at all was harmful to a God's sheer existence. Because of that, Gods can't even communicate via telepathy or such with other Gods while staying in that place.

The 'Interdimensional Cell-Phone' existed exactly because of that, to let Gods who are on within the Neutral Zone contact the Gods outside.

Currently, only one God was in the Neutral Zone, the daughter of the Primordial God himself.

So when the Primordial received a call from his daughter's number, he knew something must have gone wrong. But for the problem to be the Gamer System…

'Not again.'

It was an unforeseen crisis.

Primordial killed the last Gamer with his own hands, but that had cost him a lot. The Gamer System might not give the user an instant power boost, but the growth speed it had… It was unmatched in all of existence.

A simple mortal could reach the peak of divinity in a matter of centuries, if not decades, with that power. That's why the last Gamer was so arrogant, thinking he could take over the omniverse by force, that fool.

Having experienced the wrath of that power already and knowing too well how bad it was on the hands of someone who hadn't lost his memories…more so someone with a past that should have earned him a spot in hell, Primordial decided to step inside the Neutral Zone himself.

It would take a while for his status to enter that place, so he will send some other gods to help his daughter in the meantime, but once he reaches that place…

Everything will be calm again.

Foolish mortals let power get into their heads faster than anyone, so any problems should be eradicated before it can rise. He just wished he would someday be able to stop this inter-omniverse reincarnation bullshit for real…

—★—

799 couldn't understand this situation but he could at least infer that this wasn't favourable for him in any way.

The good thing was, his ball-shaped soul was changing to form the shape of a human body, even as he ran from the room where the Goddess was in.

[Initiating the game…]

[The Gamer's Body has been added! The reconstruction of the soul has started!]

That was good, but the next message was better.

[Initiating the game…]

[The Gamer's Mind has been added! The reconstruction of the host's mental condition has started!]

[Missing memory components detected! Memories can be reconstructed!]

[Would you like to regain your old memories?]

[Y/N]

That wasn't a question he expected, but it was a question he appreciated. He quickly clicked Yes and felt an otherworldly power start to return his memories.

As his memories returned, he realised why the Goddess called his death… interesting yet sad.

He was pushed onto the water by someone. Pushed by his own mother, with the intention of killing him.

'...What did I expect?'

As his memories returned, a part of him regretted clicking 'Yes'. This life… that life was too much for him to continue living in. He was glad he was dead, though not as glad to be killed by his own mother.

By now his body was fully formed and he was running on two legs. He thanked his healthy and admittedly fit body that he had to maintain because of his… work.

Exactly then, he heard a yell from behind.

"Stay right there!" He turned to find the goddess from before flying towards him, a fiery sword in her hand.

799 froze in his spot, unable to run as an outside force held him on his spot. The goddess closed distance in a matter of seconds and her sword descended over 799's head-

[Initiating the game… The game has been initiated!]

[Due to the host re-starting his life, a short-time invincibility will start!]

-A thin golden aura jumped out of his body and blocked the sword, stopping it dead in its tracks. The goddess immediately coughed as if she was hurt internally and fell to the ground.

799 was surprised, but… he was relieved. It seemed this place was restricting the use of her power somehow.

"Phew…"

[09:57 minutes remaining]

10 minutes. That was when invincibility would run out, and 799 honestly wanted to escape before that.

The goddess slowly got up from the ground, glaring at the golden aura around his body.

"Tsk. Didn't think I would see that darned thing again." She said, as her beautiful face distorted, the white sclera of her eyes became black while her red lips became black too, her teeth sharpening as the inside of her mouth also went black. The next words she spoke were rippling. "But this time it won't end like last time. This time, I will eradicate you fucking Gamer before you can ever rise."

'She looks like a monster… I am starting to doubt if she's really a goddess or not.' 799 thought, frowning before he shook his head. It didn't matter what she was, the only thing that mattered was that she wanted him dead and he wanted to escape.

The goddess ran, trying to drive her sword through his chest, but it couldn't penetrate the golden aura around his body.

799 shook it off and looked around to find anything that could help him escape.

That's when he noticed it, at the place of the Fate Roulette, a new much smaller wheel was there. He couldn't have deferred them if not for the much smaller size.

799 kicked the ground and was disappointed that he didn't get any type of power boost. The 'Invincibility' was just a sort of defence and immortality. It was kind of like what happens when a player dies in an FPS game and then respawns.

Nevertheless, he ran towards the roulette while the goddess followed him, trying her best to attack. He soon reached close enough to see that this roulette indeed had the names of different fictional works, as he expected.

"Dragon Ball Z"

"Marvel Cinematic Universe"

"That time I got reincarnated as a Sperm"

Now certain that it indeed was the wheel that would decide his world, he imagined it rolling as it started to really spin.

"You…" huffed the Goddess from beside him. "I didn't want to do this but… more sacrifice is needed if I want to kill you."

Turning back at her, 799 paled as her body shone brightly, her skin going hot red, looking like the surface of a sun as steam started to come out, while her hair rose in the air like fire.

"I am going to kill you." She swung her sword again, "Divine Wrath of the Fire Goddess!"

This time, despite protecting him all the other times, the golden aura couldn't prevent the attack from phrasing through as it cut 799 from his head to his crotch.

He cried aloud, feeling a great pain as he fell to his knees, his eyes bloodshot while his body shook.

But his body didn't divide into two.

The weapon indeed passed through his body, cutting him like butter but… he was still whole.

'Fuck, that hurt.'

It hurt more than anything he should be able to endure, but he guessed it was Gamer's Mind at work that kept him sane.

799 got up, trying to dodge an attack from the incredibly fast woman but failed.

He felt pain again, but he… was alive.

He then noticed people, other Gods, raining down from the sky via a hole in the cosmos-themed ceiling as dozens and then hundreds of gods started to gather in this place.

The Wheel of the World was spinning, still gaining speed, and only 07:45 minutes remained till the invincibility would last, yet 799 couldn't bear the pain.

The pain naturally increased when the other gods joined, their attacks at first unable to pass through the golden aura before they used a technique similar to the Goddess, allowing them to pass through the Golden aura. But still… he didn't die, nor did he lose any limbs.

It was painful, he was chained up and was being attacked from all sides, but he didn't die. But that only made it worse as he started to wish he was dead.

Why was he going through this pain? Wasn't this just supposed to be a fun day at the yacht? He first died, killed by his own mother, then met a bitch goddess who had some kind of trauma with The Gamer System so much so that she wants him dead.

'Fuck.'

[Due to certain circumstances, the Invincibility buff was bypassed. The System is ashamed and it apologises.]

[The problem has been fixed!]

Two messages popped up in his retina and in the next second, all the pain disappeared. The chains holding him shattered and the weapons couldn't penetrate him anymore.

"...NO! FUCK NO!" The fire goddess yelled. "I-it's getting more powerful?! Why is father so late?! This isn't playtime!"

As if being called by her, even as 799 got up and started running, the 'ceiling' of this place broke to create a massive hole, revealing a huge red-skinned titan with horns as he glared down at the Gods, searching for 799 before he finally found him.

799 heard some relieved gasps from the side, calling out the name 'Primordial God', as he paled.

"Unfortunate gamer." The Primordial God said. "Die."

799 was confused and scared as the Primordial God opened his mouth and fired a breath of red and black fire, which engulfed a few gods, along with 799, killing the Gods instantly but…

799 was fine. It felt painful, but it wasn't as painful as before. He was fine.

"Ah…hahaha!" He laughed, grinning as he ran. It worked! Whatever the system did, it worked!

There was smoke and mist everywhere, released by the death of the gods from that beam, so 799 couldn't see the Wheel of the World anymore.

But before the attack, he noticed the wheel had slowed down a lot, and he could tell it could choose a world anytime.

"Ah, I see." the Primordial's voice came from above the smoke. "Annoying, but I have no choice, the Wheel is just about to end spinning, it will disappear once it's done too so learning which world you ended up in will be hard. I have to finish you before that."

Hearing the initial part of his words, 799 gained a bit of hope. But the latter part scared him.

The Primordial clasped his hands in front of him, which were huge enough for 799 to see through the smoke, as the God spoke.

"Sacrificing part of my soul isn't my style, so be grateful to receive this attack that cost the soul of a Primordial."

He said, but 799 wasn't that worried. Because he had invincibility-

[10 minutes have passed. Invincibility has run out.]

"..."

799 could only watch as the golden aura left his body and the Primordial God finished casting whatever he was doing.

"Keugh!" The Primordial coughed blood like some cheap villain, as red light condensed on his clasped palm and then the light leapt towards 799's direction, coming and entering his body.

That was painful, more painful than all the previous attacks combined (if that was even possible), but before the pain could escalate, a blue light shone from under where he was standing.

["The Wheel of the World has chosen a world for you!"]

["Please have a good time in there!"]

A loud monotone voice, not belonging to the system, spoke as everything started to go dark for 799 from the excruciating pain he was feeling.

The last thing he saw was a few system messages, following-

[Ding! The Primordial God has sacrificed a part of his soul to cast the "Primordial Curse".]

[Ding! You have escaped from the wrath of Gods and Primordial, an unimaginable feat! This action has attracted the attention of the Will of the Omniverse!]

[You have received the buff, "Will of the Omniverse's Blessing"!]

[Hope you have a good game!]

That was it before 799 lost himself.
