Chapter 004

"Onii-chan, if you don't hurry, you'll be late!"

"You don't have to be in such a hurry."

Time has passed since then, and today I'm in my second year of middle school. Mai and I go to elementary school on the same path, so it's become normal for us to leave the house together.

"Onii-chan, you'll get a skill this year. You'll surely get a great skill."

"I am definitely going to go into the dungeon, so it would be great if I got something that would give me an advantage in battle. But it's all down to luck."

Because of Hercules syndrome, I'm stronger than most people, and by putting my strength into it, my sturdiness increases dramatically. This has the same effect as having the superior skill [Physical Strengthening] which combines [Strength Up] , [Defense Up] and [Speed ​​Up].

In other words, I already have a high-level combat skill, so it's certain that I can fight well in the dungeon. There are many people who go into dungeons even without combat skills, so I can't choose to not go in this favorable situation.

"Good morning Mai-chan. Good morning to you too, Onii-san."

"Good morning. Please take care of Mai today."

Mai's classmates join them and start chatting. Even though they are elementary school students, they are women, so I don't interrupt the conversation and walk while listening to the two of them. In my previous life, I learned that if I interrupt a woman's conversation, I will end up in a bad situation.

"Mai, I'm going over here. Be careful."

I say goodbye to the two who are engrossed in their conversation and head to middle school. There is no reply, but there is no need to interrupt their fun conversation.

"Look, it's Takimoto-san. He's looking cute today too."

"Tch, why do girls gather around such a girly guy?"

"It can't be helped. His grades are always within the top three in his grade, and he has a physical ability equivalent to [Physical Strengthening], so he is a sure winner."

I can hear the girls' squeals and the boys' resentful voices, but I ignore them. If I had to deal with each one, there would be no end to it.

"Damn, my skill is [Reducing damage caused by hitting your pinky on the corner of a dresser]."

"Don't tell me, I have [Instantly distinguish male from female bumblebees]."

That's probably a senior who got the skill, or someone born before March who was born early. In this world, the new semester starts in April, just like in my previous life, but the entrance criteria are in January.

You decide on your career path with the skills you get in your second year and work hard towards it in your third year, so if the April criteria are used, people born early in the year have less time to decide on their career path, which puts them at a disadvantage.

In that respect, it has already been decided that I will go to an explorer training school, no matter what happens. I am not resting on my laurels with my current strength and I am doing muscle training every day to ensure I am in preparation.

I should also clarify that I'm doing muscle training in preparation for the upcoming dungeons, and not because I'm thin and still get mistaken for a girl.

Chapter 003

In this world, you can acquire a skill on your 14th birthday. It seems that you can acquire at least one, and at most three. Those who acquire skills that are advantageous in battle are considered winners, as they can perform well in dungeon exploration.

My father was given a skill called [Diagnosis], which allows him to diagnose the condition of others by touching them, and the length of the touch gives details.

My father doted on my mother, and examined her every day, so he knew that she was pregnant, that she was having twins, and that the fertilized eggs would not divide properly and would miscarry.

But then suddenly the two fertilized eggs combined and began to grow, he was so surprised that he was left speechless. After all those twists and turns, I was born.

My parents were so excited that a life that should have been lost was saved that they didn't hold back, and two years later I was blessed with a cute little sister named Mai. By the way, it goes without saying that the condition for someone to marry her is to the groom to defeat me.

"Mumbling... Nii-nii, are you done with your lessons?"

"Oh, I'm done. I can stay with Mai forever from now on."

I wait with my arms open for my sister, who has just woken up and is half asleep. Mai gets up and clings to my torso and rubs her face against me.

I should be old enough to go to kindergarten. However, due to the effects of Hercules syndrome, I am very strong and it would be bad if I accidentally hurt another child, so I don't go.

"Nii-nii, read me a picture book."

"Good, which one do you think is good?"

She begged me, so I read the picture book Mai requested together. The language is the same as in our previous life, so that's a relief.

In the evening, I eat dinner with my parents after their consultation. The food is the same as in our previous life. I wonder what my diet would be like if I were reincarnated in Europe.

"News. The Beast King's party, the Wild Kingdom, has conquered the 20th floor of the Shinagawa Dungeon. This makes Japan's deepest dungeon floor..."

The TV is still on and dungeon-related news is playing. However, to ordinary people who have little to do with dungeons, it sounds like a story from a faraway country.

In this world, there are no such things as item boxes or storage. The same goes for magic bags. Therefore, each person must carry the supplies they need in the dungeon.

If you want to go deep, you need drinks and food, but it is preferable for combatants to go empty-handed. This means that baggage carriers are essential, but non-combatants need to be protected, so if the number of defensive personnel increases, the number of necessary supplies also increases.

If the number of necessary supplies increases, the number of baggage carriers increases, and the number of defensive personnel to protect them also increases, and it becomes a game of cat and mouse. Therefore, the lower 20th floors, which felt shallow from my previous life perspective, are the deepest in this world.

I was reincarnated to overcome this situation, but thanks to the Hercules Syndrome, I have a certain level of fighting power. The rest would depend on the skills I would be bestowed at age 14, but this was something I had no choice but to leave up to the heavens.

Chapter 002

"Okay, tilt the fan there... Well done. Let's end it here for today."

"Thank you, Teacher."

I put the fan down, sat upright, put my hands together and bowed my head. My Master smiled with satisfaction, opened the sliding door and left. I immediately got up and saw him off to the entrance as he left.

Reincarnated by the Goddess, I was safely reborn in another world. Well, even though it's a different world, it's pretty much the same as the original Japan.

Why am I learning Japanese dance when I've been tasked with diving into dungeons in the future? I know you might want to point out that if I was going to learn something, it would be something related to fighting, but there is a reason.

I was born as the Goddess said, by forcibly combining the fertilized eggs of two people, and perhaps because of that, I was born with a disease called Hercules syndrome.

For those who don't know, Hercules syndrome is a condition in which the density of muscle fibers is higher than usual, allowing the person to exert great strength. In most cases, the cost is reduced fuel efficiency, but that didn't seem to apply to me.

Even so, I can still exert more strength than an average child. That's why I'm learning how to control my body through Japanese dance in order to learn how to control my strength.

Originally, I would prefer to learn martial arts like Judo or Aikido, but in this world, the appearance of dungeons meant that humans fought monsters. Therefore, although Judo and Aikido, which are techniques for human combat, have not disappeared, they have become extremely rare martial arts, and there are no dojos nearby, so this is how it turned out.

After seeing my master off at the entrance, I moved from the living space and entered the waiting room. My parents currently run a clinic, and my mother works at the reception desk.

"Mom, today's practice is over. Teacher just left."

"Thank you for your hard work, Yu-chan. You must be tired, so take a break."

I told my mother that practice was over and tried to go back, but my plan failed.

"Yu-chan, you're cute today too, do you want some candy?"

"You're so pale and slender. I'm sure you'll be a beautiful girl in the future."

"Hey, I'm a guy! Don't get that wrong!"

I was surrounded by ladies waiting in the waiting room, and it was difficult to escape. Still, I managed to escape by taking advantage of my small size.

I should mention that I was reincarnated, but I didn't change gender. My partner, who wasn't used in my previous life, is still my partner in this life. However, my skin is quite pale and I'm slender, so I'm sometimes mistaken for a girl even when I'm wearing men's clothes.

Having escaped the clutches of the ladies (don't use the word "old lady" if you value your life), I entered the children's room. There, a little girl with a happy face was sleeping soundly.

"Nii-nii, Nii-nii"

I sat next to the little girl who was calling me in her sleep and held her hand. Her small fingers gripped my hand tightly, refusing to let go. This beautiful young girl is my younger sister, Mai, born two years after me. She was a 2-year-old lady.

Chapter 001

A pure white space as far as the eye can see. If you are an avid reader of online novels, you can probably guess what will happen next. And just as expected, the Goddess (temp) appears.

"Isn't (temp) too harsh?"

"Since it's unconfirmed, even if I'm 99.99% certain, I can't declare you as a Goddess."

In today's society, if you say something uncertain, you will be criticized later. I know it's a cruel world, but it's essential to make an effort to protect yourself.

"I'm one of the administrators of this world. I have no problem being recognized as a goddess. Do you remember anything about yourself?"

"Eh, me? I'm..."

I'm an old man who left society in my 50s and whose hobbies are reading and writing online novels. I had numbness and pain from my waist down due to the strain I put on myself when I was younger, so I had to use a cane to walk.

"I think I was on my way home after rehabilitation at the hospital..."

"You passed by a pachinko parlor that was being demolished, right?"

As the goddess said, I got off the bus and tried to pass by a collapsed pachinko parlor. There were several mothers with children standing there talking...

"A collapsed sign fell on the child, and I pushed him out of the way."

"That's right. And you were crushed by the falling 'P' sign. It's a cliché."

Knowing that means the goddess reads light novels. And she must be a long-time reader.

"I'm sure you've guessed, but you will be reincarnated into a different world with your memories intact. By the way, you have no right to refuse."

"So that's the pattern. Do you have any missions?"

If it's no use resisting, the best thing to do is to quickly ask what you need to ask. How much information you can get will determine my future life.

"What I want you to do is conquer dungeons. You will be going to a world where dungeons appeared before the Russo-Japanese War, and although the history and technology are different, it is quite similar to this world."

"It's a relief that the standard of living is the same as in this world. But what about the soul that was originally supposed to be born in the new world..."

What would happen to the soul that was supposed to be born if I didn't reincarnate? I don't know if I could do anything by knowing, but I'd rather hear it than not ask and agonize.

"There's no need to worry about that. I will force the fertilized eggs of twins that were supposed to be unable to be born due to cell division not going well, to fuse into one, and then shove your soul into it."

"I'm glad that you won't have to sacrifice someone's soul, but is that even possible? And there are better ways to say it!"

I knew it was disrespectful. But I still couldn't resist interjecting. Well, I don't think I'll be erased for it... probably.

"Apparently it can be done easily with the power of God. The rest is up to you to ask the administrator over there (if you meet it). Now, well then, one guest, please come in~!"

"It's easy! And what if I can't meet it?"

Even though I tried to comment on what was whispered, I was suddenly sucked into a hole that opened at my feet and fell down.
