Chapter 1_A Filipino got Reincarnated in Another World?!

Makati City, Philippines

"John Carlo!"

"Mom, 5 more minutes!"

"5 minutes, my ass. It's already 6:30 am and your school will start at 7 am. You should already know how to wake up early on your own because you are now a 4th year high school."

"I know I know. You keep repeating the same words every day at me."

"It's because you never learn and never change."

I got up and tidied my bed.

Opened the window to get some sunlight and see the neighbourhood.

I looked outside the window with a bright smile and said, "It's another bright sunny day, but my future remains bleak."

I walked out of my room to go to the dining room, which also serves as the living room and kitchen.

Sat on a cheap plastic chair.

My mother served me fried rice and egg and a hot chocolate drink to help me energize in the morning.

"Where's father?" I asked.

"He left earlier than usual since he has an important meeting at the company," she replied.

"Oh, I see."

"Instead of talking, quickly finish eating your breakfast so you won't be late at school."

I nodded.

After eating breakfast, I took a bath, and changed into my school uniform.

I went back to my room to get my bag and checked its contents to see if something was missing.

Ballpen check, books check, notebooks check, paper check, ID check. Now I can go to school.

"Mom, I am off to school."

She handed me a 100 Philippine peso bill, and I put it inside my pocket.

"Have fun at school and make sure you get good grades."

"I will."

I exited our house and started walking towards my school.

The distance between my house and school is 30 minutes by walking and 5 minutes if I was riding a jeep.

Its already 7:01 AM I better walk cause there is no point riding a jeep to go to school faster when you are already late. I better skip the first subject which is pre-calculus and avoid that damn strict teacher who always yell at people who are late.

The streets are bustling and lively today.

There are a lot of people standing in the street to wait for a jeepney, bus, or van to go to work.

Some are pushing a cart to go to the nearby public market to sell street food, drinks, fruits, vegetables, or merchandise while others are walking in the street to go to the nearby public market.

Several people are chatting and eating breakfast in front of their homes located near the side of the road.

A lot of cars, jeepneys, vans, buses, tricycles, and motors pass me by to go north while others went south.

After walking for a few minutes, I spotted a man trying to snatch the woman's bag across the busy street.

She looks familiar.

Oh shit. It's my cousin Samantha.

"John Carlo, help," Samanta shouted.

I threw my backpack to the ground and raced towards them.

The man noticed me running towards them and let go of the bag then shoved her to the pavement.

He immediately searched for something inside his back pocket.

Shit. It might be a gun or a knife, but I won't be taking any chances. I should hurry.

I picked up the pace and managed to hold his gun before he could properly aim at me.

*click*

*bang*

Thank god, I managed to point the gun upwards before it fired or else I would have been dead.

I heard multiple screams and saw people running away from the streets.

My cousin managed to hide inside a nearby house.

Both of us tried to overpower each other to make one of us remove their grip on the gun, but ended up in a stalemate.

He kicked my left leg with a powerful force to weaken my grip but to no avail.

This continued for quite a while.

Slowly but surely, he was gaining more and more control to the direction of the barrel of the gun is pointed at until he managed to point it to my chest.

Shi-

*click*

*bang*

I felt an intense pain in my chest which forced me to let go of the pistol and heard a blood-curdling scream of a woman nearby.

The man pocketed the pistol and fled from the scene while I collapsed on the pavement, bleeding heavily.

Samantha rushed towards me, tears rolling down her cheeks, and checked the wounds on my chest.

"John Carlo, wait for a minute. I will call an ambulance," Samantha said.

*cough* *cough*

She pulled her smartphone out of her bag and started frantically tapping it.

"Come on, come on, please answer the call."

Shit. I feel cold and numb. The pain suddenly went away, and I can't smell anything. I don't want to die, but there is no way for me to survive this.

"Finally, someone answered."

"My cousin got shot multiple times in the chest. Please send an ambulance as fast as possible on 9 Hermano Street, Barangay Amorsolo, Makati City."

My eyes were slowly closing until everything became pitch black.

My whole life flashed before me and the darkness returned after it finished playing for one last time.

Damn. I never knew this cliche was actually true until you experience it.

"What do you mean the fucking ambulance will arrive here in 5 minutes!?"

I felt something wet drip onto my face.

It must be my cousin crying even harder.

Don't cry Samantha. It wasn't your fault that I got shot multiple times in the chest and I hope that after this incident you don't blame yourself for my untimely end.

"His breathing is getting weaker and weaker, and he just lost consciousness. Please hurry. I don't think he will make it if the ambulance doesn't reach us in 1 minute!"

My whole body feels like it's floating in the air.

Mom and dad, I am sorry that I will be leaving you soon and I can no longer accompany both of you to our planned vacation in Cebu on my birthday. Use that vacation instead to heal from the wounds that my death will give you. Also, find justice for me and make sure the man gets what he deserved for killing me and never withdraw the case, even if he and his family beg you for pardon.

I no longer struggled to breathe.

Everything is now silent.

I guess this is how my life ends. Full of regrets and broken promises. I wish my family, friends, relatives and neighbours live a better life than me and achieve their goals in life.

———————————————————————————————————————----------------------------

Some time later.

"Ugh."

"Where am I?"

"Huh? Why is everything dark?"

I turned my head around to scour my surroundings, but all I could see was the impenetrable darkness.

I tried to move my right hand but failed to move a single finger, and I felt an overbearing wave of pain coursing throughout my whole body.

"WTF. Why does my body feel pain when I am supposed to be dead?"

[System Configuration Complete. The user is now connected to the system.]

An AI generated voice spoke inside my head.

"Where the hell is that voice coming from?"

I scoured my surroundings once again but failed to locate the source of the sound.

"Since there is no obvious source, then it must be telepathy."

[Checking if the user is suffering from any major side effects.]

[Please do not move or else the user will suffer from a massive backlash.]

I do not want to know what is the 'massive backlash' is, so I followed its instructions.

[Scanning is now complete.]

"That took a while to finish."

[User is not suffering from any side effects except for the damage the soul sustained while getting transported here.]

"WTF? So, I am in my soul form right now and somehow I got transported to an unknown world."

"This must be a dream, and everything will return to normal after I wake up."

[Welcome to Zodotania.]

"Are you here to guide me to my last resting place?"

[No. I am here to guide you about your new world.]

"Are you the administrator or the creator of this world?"

[I am the administrator of this world. I am also responsible for giving a brief walkthrough for souls who end up getting transported here.]

"Do you know who created you?"

[That is a secret and anyone who discovers the creator's real identity will get erased from reality.]

"Hmm, that is interesting. Anyway, where is the settings?"

[System error. Settings not found.]

"Haysst. Then give me that boring walkthrough so I could learn about Zodotania. It feels odd not being able to adjust the damn settings before playing start."

[As you wish but let me remind you that this is all real and you won't be waking up from a nightmare.]

I sighed in disbelief, which was quickly followed by an intense, excruciating pain in my chest.

"Before we start. Let me ask this question. Is it possible to return to my old world?"

[No, it is not possible.]

"Okay. Thanks for answering that question. Now the only thing I need to do is try to move on from the regrets of my previous life and enjoy my new life."

[Do you have additional questions?]

"What happened to my cousin and parents?"

[I cannot answer your question as I do not have any relevant information to your cousin or parents. I also do not have any authority on your old world.]

"I see. Can you give me an introduction to Zodotania?"

[Zodotania is a universe where magic exists and all the inhabitants, including souls like you who got transported here, have access to the system. It is divided into 9 realms which are: the Chaos realm, Garden of Eden, heavenly realm, Upper realm, Middle realm, lower realm, Purgatory realm, hell realm, and the abyss realm. They are connected through a special portal, but to access it you need to complete multiple special quests.]

So Zodotania is a gamelike universe similar to a vrmmorpg but, you can't logout anytime you want.

"What kind of features will I be able to access while connected to the system?"

[You gain access to the system menu, status menu, skill menu, bloodline menu, spell menu, equipment menu, and familiar menu.]

[The system menu contains the system shop, system mail, and system news.]

[The status menu is where you can see your name, job class, level, exp bar, health points, mana, stamina, physical resistance, magical resistance, race, aura type, age, marital status, vital status, bloodline, transcendence, awakening, amount of skill points, and attributes.]

[The skill menu has two sub menus which are active and passive. Spell menu also has two sub menus like the skill menu. It is also the same for bloodline menu.]

[You can use skill points to learn and level up skills and spells, or you can simply use the skill or spell enough times to level it up. Bloodline skills is passed genetically from parent to offspring. Some bloodline skills can be unlocked after birth while others need you to reach awakening or transcendence to unlock it.]

[The equipment menu lets you see the equipment you are using and the stats they give.]

[The familiar menu shows you the familiar you have a permanent contract or temporary contract. Also shows you the special familiar under permanent contract with you.]

"How do you access the system menu, status menu, skill menu, bloodline menu, spell menu, equipment menu, and familiar menu?"

[You can access it by going to the 'menu' and then choose whether you want to view the system, status, skill, bloodline or spell menu.]

"Menu."

A blue screen appeared in front of me.

"Can you explain what these attributes do?"

[Strength determines the amount of physical damage you do. It also determines how much weight you can carry and the type of armour and weapon you can equip since they have strength requirements.]

[Vitality influences your hp and hp regeneration speed.]

[Endurance influences your stamina and physical resistance.]

[Agility determines your reflexes and movement speed.]

[Dexterity determines your hand-eye coordination and attack speed.]

[Intelligence influences your mana, mana regeneration speed, and magic damage of your spells.]

[Wisdom influences your magical resistance, abnormal status resistance, and magic penetration of your spells.]

"How do you compute hp and hp regeneration speed?"

[HP= Vitality*5.]

[HP regeneration speed = HP/100.]

"How about stamina and physical resistance?"

[Stamina= Endurance*5.]

[Physical resistance = Endurance*2.]

"Mana and mana regeneration speed?"

[Mana= Intelligence*5.]

[Mana regeneration speed= Mana/100.]

"Magical resistance and abnormal status resistance?"

[Magical resistance= Wisdom*2.]

[Abnormal status resistance= Wisdom*2.]

"Lifting weight capacity?"

[LWC of male= Strength*5.]

[LWC of female= Strength*3.]

"How much attributes will I receive after reincarnating?"

[The amount of attributes you receive after being born depends on your race and your parents. This is the formula we typically use: Initial attributes = (Parent A attributes + Parent B attributes)/1000 + race attributes. The only time we don't use that formula is when the sum of your parents' attributes is greater than 1,000,000 to prevent an offspring starting with 5 digit attributes or more, which would break the balance.]

"How much attributes will you receive when the sum of your parents' attributes is greater than 10,000,000?"

[All the attributes will be set to 1,000 and then add the race attributes.]

"What are race attributes, and how do you compute them?"

[Race attributes is the fixed amount of attributes you receive for being a part of that race, regardless of the strength of your parents. It usually depends on your race. To give you an example, humans will receive 20 in all attributes. The stronger the race, the more attributes you receive.]

"How much attribute points do you receive after levelling up?"

[You don't receive any attribute points.]

"Then how do attributes increase?"

[There are four ways to increase it: absorbing attribute point books, levelling up, training exercise, and growing older.]

"Could you elaborate further?"

[Attribute point books give you permanent attributes after absorbing it. It can only be obtained inside dungeons or crafting it using ultra rare materials.]

[Levelling up gives you a fixed amount of attributes, but it usually depends on your race. For humans, they receive 10 in all attributes per level. The stronger the race, the more attributes you receive. It is not influenced by skills that boost all attributes you gained from all sources.]

[The type of training exercise and intensity will determine the type and amount of attributes you receive. This also applies to doing physical labour.]

[The amount of attributes you get on every birthday is the same amount you get from levelling up. Once you reach 25 years old you no longer get attributes for growing up regardless of the lifespan of your race. It is also not influenced by skills that boost all attributes you gained from all sources.]

"What does physical and magical resistance do?"

[It is the amount of physical and magical damage your body can block.]

"Does it stack with armour and magic armour?"

[No.]

"How do you calculate the damage you receive from physical damage?"

[Formula to calculate physical damage received. Total physical damage - Physical armour or total physical damage - Physical resistance. For example, the opponent dealt 15,000 physical damage to you and you have a physical armour that can 10,000 damage. The formula the system will use to calculate the damage you receive will be total physical damage - Physical armour. 15,000 - 10,000 = 5,000. That 5,000 is the damage you receive and will be deducted to your hp. If for some reason your armour is destroyed in battle and the attack touches your body, then the formula the system will use is total physical damage - physical resistance. If the damage is less than your physical armour or physical resistance, then you will not receive any damage.]

"How about magic damage?

[Formula to calculate magical damage received. Magic damage - Magic armour or Magic damage - magic resistance. For example, the opponent used a spell and dealt 15,000 magic damage to you and you have a magic armour that can block 10,000 magic damage. The formula the system will use to calculate the damage you receive will be magic damage - magic armour. 15,000 - 10,000 = 5,000. That 5,000 is the damage you receive and will be deducted to your hp. If your magic armour is destroyed in battle and the attack touches your body, then the formula the system will use is magic damage - magic resistance. If the damage is less than your magic armour or magic resistance, then you will not receive any damage. If the opponent's spell has magic penetration, then the formula will be used is magic armour - magic pen or magic resistance - magic pen. Magic damage - difference of magic armour. For example, the opponent used a spell and dealt 15,000 magic damage to you and has a magic penetration of 1,000 and you have a magic armour that can block 10,000 magic damage. The formula the system will use to calculate the damage you receive will be magic armour - magic penetration. 10,000 - 1,000 = 9000. If magic penetration is greater than magic armour, then the spell will ignore the magic armour or resistance and you will receive the full magic damage. After calculating the difference between magic armour and magic penetration, the system will now calculate magic damage - magic armour. 15,000 - 9000 = 6,000. That 6,000 will then be deducted to your hp. Always remember that magic pen will always go first before magic damage. If the magic damage is less than your magic armour or magic resistance, then you will not receive any damage.]

"One last question. Can I read the patch notes?"

[This is not a game. So please stop asking me questions related to games.]

"Yeah, I know. I just wanted to ask that question. Do you receive any benefits from having access to the system?"

[You will receive a gift from me every birthday and daily check-in rewards.]

[Do you mind if I ask you a question?]

"Sure. No problem."

[Do you have any system feature suggestions for me?]

"Seasonal battle pass, daily spin, quest system, VIP membership system, loot boxes, and updated system shop."

[Why did you recommend those to me?]

"The perks I receive from the system is severely lacking. That's why I recommended it to make the rewards appealing and useful."

[Interesting. Can you explain what benefits they would receive if I added those?]

"A seasonal battle pass is an in-game feature the user can buy to get special rewards and exclusive items. As the name suggests, it only lasts one season, and the user needs to buy it again after the season ends. You can buy more levels or complete certain challenges to level it up. All the rewards can only be unlocked by having a certain level of battle pass."

[Not all are rich and usually struggle from day-to-day life.]

"You can have a free version of the seasonal battle pass with fewer rewards while the premium version will have more rewards.".

[How much should it cost and how many levels should it contain?]

"I don't know, but it should be affordable to everyone. It should have 2000 levels."

[What is a Daily spin?]

"A wheel with rewards. You get a free spin every day and get a reward for spinning the wheel. The longer you have been spinning the wheel, the better the rewards you receive."

[Explain the quest system.]

"It is a feature where you give quests to everyone, and they get rewards for completing it. There are four types of quests: daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly. The harder the quest, the more rewards and system points they receive. You can also refresh it if you do not like the type of quest you receive. The refresh amount for non-VIP members is 3 while VIP members are 5. and go up to 10 when they reach level 15 VIP."

[What does the VIP membership system do?]

"It is a premium feature. You get more benefits and extra rewards for being a VIP compared to others who did not purchase it. The higher the VIP level, the more privileges and rewards you receive."

[How many levels should a VIP membership contain?]

"15."

[What is a loot box?]

"It is a consumable item which can be received for completing quests or bought in the system shop. It contains multiple items, and you only receive one item for opening it. The rarer the item, the lower the odds of getting it."

[What does an updated system shop do?]

"The updated system shop will have four sub menus: daily, weekly, monthly, and VIP. You can spend your system points in daily, weekly, and monthly while you need VIP points to buy items in the VIP shop."

[Thanks for your feedback. I will add those features when over 70% of system users approve of it.]

"Will I receive any award when my suggestions are approved?"

[I will give you a level 1 VIP and 100 system points.]

*beep* *beep*

[Please standby. I am actively trying to search for a suitable body for your soul to connect to.]

"How long will that take?"

[I don't know but I will let you know if I found one.]

"How will I be able to use the system if I reincarnated into a baby?"

[The same way we are communicating right now through telepathy.]

[Suitable body found.]

[Prepare to be reincarnated in 5 4 3 2 1.]

A light flickered in front of me and grew brighter and brighter.

Waaaaaahhhh Waaaaaahhhh

My surroundings changed into a well-lit room with three unfamiliar people smiling at me.

[Achievement unlocked: Reincarnation I. Get reincarnated once. Reward: 15 skill points.]

[Achievement unlocked: Reincarnation Mark I. Have a white reincarnation mark. Reward: 5 skill points.]

[Achievement unlocked: Reincarnation Mark II. Have a blue reincarnation mark. Reward: 5 skill points.]

[Achievement unlocked: Reincarnation Mark XI. Have a rainbow reincarnation mark. Reward: 25 skill points.]

[Title unlocked: Lord of Cabbage and everything cabbage related.]

All three of them look European.

The first one is a gorgeous female with straight long blond hair, brown eyes, and large breasts.

The second is a handsome man with a muscular body, short straight gray hair, and blue eyes.

Both of them might be in their early 20s.

The third is an attractive female who has shoulder-length straight brown hair, brown eyes, large breasts and probably is in her late 20s.

"Where is their status bar?"

[...]

"It's just a joke."

"What should we name our first baby?" The blond woman asked.

"Felix," the man replied.

"That name sounds nice," the brown-haired woman said.

"I agree. His name will be Felix Woods," the blond woman said.

"Let me hold my grandson so you could rest after giving birth," the brown-haired woman said.

The blond woman nodded and kissed me on the forehead before giving me to the brown-haired woman.

"How the hell do I understand them?"

[I pre-programmed your brain to understand the common language which is the one they are using right now to communicate.]

"What realm am I located?"

[Middle realm.]

"Why is my mana still 0/0?"

[Your mana capacity will be accessible at four years old.]

"Can you explain why?"

[Your mana vessels will start developing at 3 years old and finish after you reach 4 years old. Mana vessels are channels that carry mana throughout your body. They form a close loop, like a circuit, that begins and ends at your Udix.]

"What is Udix?"

[It is where your mana capacity is located. Udix allows you to use and store mana inside your body. It is located near your heart.]

"Why do my attributes start so high?"

[Maple is one of the most powerful races in Zodotania. You get 1,000 in all attributes from race. Every time you level up, you get 100 in all attributes.]

"Where does the Maple race originate from?"

[They are created by the abyss primordial god that rules the abyss realm and they have the ability to use abyssal magic. Some races like the dark elves consider them as the children of the abyss primordial god and worship the Maple as an elder god.]

"Who are the four primordial gods?"

[The four primordial gods are: the heavenly primordial god, underworld primordial god, hell primordial god, and the abyss primordial god.]

"Are they related to each other?"

[No. They consider each other as enemies because all of them want to rule the 9 realms.]

"How strong are they?"

[They have 3 billion digit attributes.]

"How many commas does it have?"

[1 billion commas.]

"How the fuck do you achieve that?"

[That is a secret.]

"How powerful am I compared to everyone?"

[You are in the top 99%. You are also the weakest member of your race and family.]

"How old is Zodotania?"

[Zodotania has existed for over 5 quintillion years. Don't be surprised when you see someone with 20 or more digit attributes.]

"How many zeros does a quintillion have?"

[18.]

"Can I adjust the difficulty setting?"

[No, because this is reality.]

Damn, I thought I would be overpowered and destroy everyone in a blink of an eye instead of being in the bottom of the barrel.

Cabbage body- grants you the power of Brassicus the elder cabbage god. This skill boosts all your attributes the more cabbage head you eat. 1 cabbage head = 0.5 all attribute boost. The user must eat a whole cabbage head or 8 kilograms of cabbage to get a 0.5 all attribute boost. Cabbage body can be evolve to superior cabbage body after eating at least 100 cabbage heads or 800 kilograms of cabbage. Total amount of cabbage eaten: 0 head/ 0 kilograms.

Stat Boost V- boost all attributes by 250%. Requires 25 skill points to learn. Need to learn Stat gain IV to learn this skill.

My skill points are 150. If my guess is correct, the stronger skill will override the effects of the weaker skill.

Darn it did not count the amount of cabbage I have eaten in my previous life. I am pretty sure it is around 500 kilograms or more. Which means I would receive 62.5 all attribute boost at the minimum if it was counted.

"Do different types of skills stack when their effects are the same such as Blessing of a Primordial God, Maple Blood, Cabbage body, Stat gain, and Stat boost?"

[Yes.]

I learned stat gain I, II, III, IV, and V and stat boost I, II, III, IV, and V.

Now my skill points are 0.

My suspicions are right. Stat gain V is active while stat gain I, II, III, and IV are inactive. It is also the same for stat boost.

"What is bloodline, and does it have a separate menu?"

[Bloodline is your lineage that determines who are your ancestors and bloodline skills you inherited. Bloodline skills is passed genetically from parent to offspring. Some bloodline skills can be unlocked after birth while others need you to reach awakening or transcendence to unlock it.]
