Reborn as a Cyber-Dragonoid

Chapter 1

It all started on the day I died. To be honest, I didn't expect to die today. Of course, nobody expected to die themselves but of all the days to die, it has to be this one. I and my friends (Kinu, Will and Felix) were at a cafe. And Will and Felix were between discussing and arguing about a game, mostly arguing

There's no way you'll beat the boss with your sword, it's immune to physical attacks" my otaku friend, Felix, said. Though, we were eating together, I rather stay quiet and correct information "True" I said "Though you'll need to enchant the sword in order for you to damage it" Kinu rolled her eyes "Remind me again why I'm friends with you guys?" She asked. We all looked at her "We have no idea" I said. Kinu is a teenage girl my age. Though she's what they call a late bloomer (Though she's the only one who considers this, I don't actually know what it means. I think someone who's going to pretty or something?), some people (70% of the male student body) think she's pretty as she is now. She has shiny ginger hair with a long ponytail reaching her waist, sparkling blue eyes like sapphire and pinkish white skin. She currently wearing a white blouse with a pink blazer and skirt with a blue pair of sneakers. You could say she's a fan of pink except for the fact for her shoes. I bought them as a present for her and she didn't stop wearing them ever since. And I gave her that two years ago. Though every time I ask why, she'd stutter and come up for an excuse. Not exactly sure why.

Will, on other hand, has bright blonde hair with dyed white streaks which he thought that it made him look cool (Which I thought was pretty stupid considering he was already the most popular guy in school) and vibrant emerald green eyes with the same skin color with Kinu only tanner. He's currently wearing a blue shirt with a teal water drop and white stars made by Kinu. She also made one for me but black with grey spirals and purple stripes, which is what I'm wearing now with jeans and black sneakers. I also have black hair and piercing grey eyes but with paler skin. Felix has curly auburn hair and olive brown skin with glowing amber eyes. He's currently wearing a yellow long sleeved shirt and brown slacks with orange sneakers.

While Will and Felix were arguing, I heard a thump metal against the floor and my instincts went wild. I looked down and saw grenade near us "GET DOWN!" I yelled, and the bomb exploded. Suddenly, after the explosion, three guys came in and ordered "Everybody, lend us all of your precious belongings and stay quiet!" I glanced at Will and he immediately knew what I was going to do "no, don't" He whispered. I quietly slipped into the shadows. I CAREFULLY sneaked behind the nearest terrorist (At least, that's what I think they are) and attacked him behind by hitting his nape hard, knocking him out unconscious. I immediately, went back into the shadows and sneaked up towards the next one

Meanwhile... Somewhere in the depths of the universe [Scanning Individuals.... Processing........ Rin Nobuchi........ Male, 15 years old......... High Death Probability...]

Said a robotic voice without gender. A pair of eyes of molten gold appeared "Individual is, without a doubt, chosen for reincarnation" He said [Processing...... World chosen for reincarnation, Terra Nova......... Chosen being Reincarnation......... Monster race...... Processing]

Back at the café........

I was seriously in trouble, two knife-wielding men had cornered me. The guy I assaulted on noticed me and quickly started shooting me. Fortunately, I was able to dodge them but to be honest, He's a lousy shooter. Eventually the other one was alerted and started shooting at me (READ: Trying to shoot me). Good thing they ran out of bullets but then they tried a frontal assault (Another word for attacking directly).I looked around, the police haven't arrive yet and I was on a life and death situation. I analyzed the situation closely, my back was against the wall and the two guys weren't fast as me as we fought earlier. Then I notice the huge space between them. Success! Just as the two were about to stab me but the third guy was waking up He took a gun and pointed at my friends. I ducked and race forward to where my friends are, to which the two terrorist ended up stabbing each other. Though the stab wasn't fatal, they were greatly injured and collapsed upon exhaustion. I saw my friends and smiled but their eyes were widened in shock.

Just about when I was about to say something, A gunshot was heard and the pain was flaring up on my right side. I felt time slowed down as I fell down. Will ran and punch the guy in the face while the others went to my aid "Hey it's going to be alright, Okay. You have to be" Kinu said, but it was as if she was comforting herself rather than me. I looked down to the floor and saw a lot of blood and I knew where it came from "Hey guys if I die, do me a favor and look for the red box in my closet" I said as my consciousness slowly faded away. "Hey don't say that. Don't say you're going to die" Felix said as he looked at me, his eyes tearing up "Felix, Don't give up on finding your girl, okay man?" He nodded while crying "Hey Will. Grow up will ya buddy, someone has to be the matured one in the group and while I'm gone, you better take care of them. Nice right hook by the way" Will sobbed and nodded while the two pouted. I looked at her "You know Kinu, you always been an ugly crier. So why do you still look pretty?" She laughed bitterly and said "You're so mean, even when you're dying" I smiled and said my final words as the last of my consciousness faded "You know, you always had the nicest hair I've ever seen"

[Processing complete..... Rin Nobuchi is now dead.....Reincarnation Method is functional] the robotic voice said "Hmm, it would seems that this individual saved his friends in the process of sacrificing his life for them" The male voice said [Rewards of sacrifice have been enabled......... Processing ......... Reward, Gifts of former life's memories and gift of [Supreme Analyst], Processing....... Confirmation required, need individual's approval] the robotic voice said. The male voice closed his eyes "I'll take care of it"

As I said my final words, I felt the intense pain fading and was replaced with sharp cold and all I saw was darkness. I was never a fan of good byes. Especially if it meant saying good bye to the people so close to you. You know, now that I think about it, I never told them that they were the closest things I have to a family. I never had a family. Rather, my parents and older sister casted me out on my own in another city. Sure they provided the essentials: Food, Money, Housing, Clothing, etc. but never had they once visited me. My friends, on the other hand, were the only one who understood me. Thank you immortal beings that guides the fate or destiny or whatever for the greatest friends a guy could ask for. Then suddenly, the darkness lit up and everything I saw was white. Okay, that was weird. Then suddenly a man in his early twenties appeared "Even weirder" I said. The guy was in white suit and had white hair but his eyes were color of molten gold "Hello there lad" He greeted. I blinked "Excuse me, who are you?" I asked. He chuckled "I guess in you terms, I'm the immortal being that guides fate" my eyes widened "Now then. As you probably know-""I'm dead" I said. I looked around "Funny, I thought the afterlife was more lively than this" I said "Oh we're not in heaven" My eyes widened "And we're certainly not in what you might call, the place where evil spirits get their eternal punishment" He added. I took a sigh of relief, you see, I'm not the type to say the word h***. "You see, I called you here to tell you that you have been one of the lucky souls to be able to reincarnate with a gift" my eyes shone in excitement "But you will not be reborn in your world. Rather, in another world were magic and technology coexist as alchemy" He explained "I thought alchemy was the magic of potions or chemicals" I said "Oh but alchemy is different there. But here's the benefit, not only will you be reincarnated but you will also be able to keep your memories and a secret gift will be bestowed upon you when the time is right" I smiled, thinking all the possibilities what the gift is "But there's a catch" He said, making me frown. Of course, there's always a catch when it comes to this "You may or may not be born as a human and I cannot guarantee a safe life for you. Though you would still be a male reincarnated, only you can control your fate now, with or without my guidance" He said. I thought and saw the limitless possibilities. I could reincarnated as some powerful monster and live as the peaceful guardian of a sacred village or city. Or maybe an elf and live as the most adventurous hunter in all the lands. So many possibilities and so many risks. But for what is worth, I'll rather be born than to die. I looked at him and said "I accept" He smiled. Then He faded in balls of light "I'll be expecting great things from you" then I blacked out.
