I woke up listening to an old sound.
[ Recalibrating ]
- (This is starting to get boring.)
These were the thoughts on Diego's
Mind, everyone who looked at him would think of him as too young to even do anything.
But appearances were deceiving while he had the body of a newborn 1-year-old baby was all that eye could see in that cradle. The soul and mind of a centenary were residing in there.
All right, like the joke goes "Here we go again".
Diego was a reincarnate, that much he had accepted in his first life, he came to a mundane world born as a European in England.
Living through another life gives you perspective having recognized that he came back to life, he lived his second life fully. And then came his second and third a seventh and twentieth....And the next ones were no good Diego lost count of how many times he died a premature death, some worse than others. While it was true that he traveled to many worlds some even out of a novel, he couldn´t enjoy them because, at the age of four, he died. No matter the ways he never gets past three and some are even sooner.
Whatever curse he had on him for being immortal was fucking up his life plan.
I consider myself a peaceful thoughtful and kind person but even I stop making fuck to give when I have the universe bullying me as if I was a noob.
[Recalibrating...]
In his second life, he thought that this white window was the reincarnate gift package that he had for being well immortal. The problem is that it hasn´t ever activated several hundred years must have passed between reincarnations to the point that he gave up on getting some help or answers from the screen. Some people say that near-death experiences change you forever, but I would like to say something more about how death experiences change you even more, I think that having lived for too long has made me weirdly mature and insensible to things like death and pain while making me a mess in how to live my life and be happy.

-Just like has been shown in the addendum 300-b-x the most powerful class is the science man even with its very difficult requirements to advance but the one with the most potential is the mundane one.
Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit.
The same that I have been thinking since I found the first reference to it. During all this time I have been looking through the files, it has been tedious but I'm happy that I did it at first before reading the files I was gonna choose the weird because well his introduction spoke about " destroying the world ". In hindsight that was my impatience for finally getting some power on my hands, no matter my investigation has made me read every single information window in here, leading me to know everything about every theme.
That's why I chose this :
[Main theme Mundane]
You gained skills
[Please select a sub-theme]
[The-]
-Mundane
[Mundane has been selected twice ]
You lose skills
You gain perks
Perfect with these I am gonna have so much fun.
-Creak
The door to the room opened a shadowy figure entered the Victorian-style room.
And just in time for the next life, I was beginning to wonder nut was gonna be this time but seeing that it's an assasin it might be quicker than a disease or a monster.
The black-robed man stared at the little boy, the eyes of both met across the room the kid had the same cold and dark stare that the assassin had, excited by the response and a little nervous because of the chilling atmosphere he immediately threw a blade at his neck.
-(Good he isn´t a sociopath like those murderers in those lives.)
Blood started to pour all over the ground.
-(Time to go to sleep.)
WORLD Nº1
In a little village in the grasslands, a woman was screaming in agony, while the matrons were taking care of the one who would soon be a mother.
A warrior in iron-clad armor was walking up and down the waiting room.
-It better work this time, for our plan to work, we need a man to take the imperial license.
-Don´t worry Yan this time the herbs must have made sure that only the yang energy reached the fetus.
-I hope so because I hate to have to bed again.
-WAAAAAAAAA
The two men listened in silence as the baby cried, quick on their feet they both entered the delivery room. Two of the matrons were attending to the tired mother, while the main matron was cleaning the baby in a mildly hot water bowl. The warrior asked impatiently:
-Tell me is it a boy?
The matron proceeded to end the wash in the bowl and inspected the umbilical cord to see where she had to make the surgical cut. Grabbing a small blade and slowly tested the limit of the connection and when she got the mark right made a swift swing cutting with the blade.
The warrior closed on the baby watching with the expectation of the verdict, the matron opened the baby's legs.
-Yes!
The man celebrated joyfully at the sight of the tiny wiener on the couch, grabbing his son in celebration he kissed him and commanded the matrons.
-You are to take care of my son and to move the caretaker to my villa and she is to take care of my son.
The two men having gotten what they wanted, got out ready to enact their plan, ignoring completely the woman who was now breathless who had just been screaming in pain.
The matrons were busy cleaning the place up and didn´t even think of the mother they concentrated on the orders and cradling the newborn into a comfortable posture for transport.
-Huh another medieval world?
Diego proceeded to go to sleep knowing that it was gonna be another rough beginning like all others.

{ Three years later }
So my journal, from now on seeing as this is the start of something new I'm going start recording myself in my head which is completely normal thanks to the new perk that I got
Mental Palace level 1 that lets me keep track of any word I think, it has been 3 years since I have been in this world, and thanks to my perks I have been able to smooth out a lot of the annoying things of reincarnation, like language, culture and other things. Also, my angel of death must have got the cold because this life's third-year death treat has been very weak, usually, I have to fight something five times my size, armed to the teeth and very lethal, or a city-ending catastrophe.
Instead, I got a snake and a dumb one a that, it was venomous clearly but the beast didn´t even know how to properly climb to my wooden cradle, I just had to hit her with my pillow every time it got close to the border and cry for help thill they rescued me. P.D: Sorry to the woman who came to me without watching the floor.
I also got a small taste of those sweet perks thanks to my interface.
[Perks]
[Mind]
Reflexes level 1
Mental Palace Level 1
Meditation level 10
[Culture]
Anthropology level 1
Linguistics level 1
As I have been gaining perks I have been simply organizing them.
Many things that were only talked about in the files are now more clear, like how perks work and what they do.
If we reference the files to get one you have to prove in some way that you are getting results it can be anything from challenging yourself to proving that you can do something or that there is some undeniable truth to what you are trying to achieve. That is vague and useless what I have come to understand is more simple, you do something with a purpose, and a goal or do something knowing what you are doing very clearly and you get a corresponding perk.
You exercise yourself you get a perk, you try to remember stuff very hard perk, you try to learn about the culture in a place perk and you survive a dangerous situation perk. Easy peasy doing stuff = Gain perk.
Also, perks are not all-powerful but they have very neat advantages like having the perk helping you out in different situations. That leads me to another funky part about perks they are all-encompassing, they are a true part of me they are made with a bit of the holy trinity body, mind, and soul and they work with energy, skill, and knowledge. That means that they help me with anything related to themself in any way I can use the anthropology skill from anything from lying to stealing to fighting. Reflexes are more adequate for that but the thing is that they work 24 hours a day without interruption and they can cooperate amongst themselves. I only have a few but I already understand why True Mundane was so praised in the files had you selected Mundane one time I would only had a small help at learning new things but now, I'm only starting to use them and I am already feeling like it was a good choice. Too bad that I have the heating problem again. Like always a baby brain can only use an adult mind for a few minutes a day without stepping out of the exercise your-brain zone to the overexert yourself zone, now that I have a perk to Relax I can use my trick more easily, I enter a very profound meditation state so that I only use a normal amount of the brains power while I put my heads in the clouds so that any important moment I can quickly refocus on the situation. And nothing more I will make one of these in I don't know maybe in a few years I will put here some data from the interface in case I need it in the future.Bye
Reflexes level 1: The mental commands that activate your functions.
Mental Palace level 1: The Quality of your Mental Strength
Meditation level 10: Your mind can unfocus itself with anything you don´t want.
Anthropology level 1: The study of civilizations and cultures
Linguistics level 1: The study of all types and forms of languages
(Sticky note what is the limit of the interpretation of the language??)

-Come on don't stop. Right, left, up, down
A Chinese man was using a wooden sword while he talked to a young boy in front of him who was trying to hit him with his wooden sword.
The man was making broad movements to make sure that the kid saw his strike coming, always on the defensive the boy was being pushed to his limit by the man. Inevitably the boy ended up falling onto the ground tired
-Not bad but remember Din Heggo footwork is the key.
-(Obviously, but have you, tried to step on a rocky path with little legs.)
-We will leave at this for now. I'll see you tomorrow.
-Hao
Now that he is gone let's take a breather, it could be a good moment to retake my journal.
Diego got into the meditation pose, cleared his mind away from distractions, and began telling his story.
Well hi journal, how is it going I'm here chilling in a Chinese grassland, it's not 100% China but everything is almost the same as in China from my first world. Being a multiverse traveler I have already my classification system for each world.
And this one seems till now to be the typical mundane feudal world.
The World is composed of five continents with their names but I am going to ignore it and say what would be the earth similar.
First, we have Huangti (China) at the right of the center of the world with all its imperialism and warmongering desire.
In the north is Cold Peaks ( Rusia) with them being all barbarians if you believe the propaganda.
To the south-west, we have the yellow desert (India) and rumors say that there are only assassins.
To the east, we have the cursed islands (Japan) rifled with spies and backstabers.
To the west are the hurricane wasteland (Europe) where there are witches and crazy black magicians.
Wow incredible right, everywhere else is terrible the exception of the country where you were born as a farmer for a militarist expansionist empire. What are the odds? I think I have my anthropology perk well earned, by the way, I am a bit sharp you know.
Lucky me I was born as the son of an exiled noble, From what I heard from some conversations it was a typical plot. A good-for-nothing gets disinherited and proceeds to get a girl pregnant. And something ironic is that the rich can accept that he was a degenerate but not that he had a kid with a peasant. So he gets posted here in the north of Huangi, basically in the frontier between rival nations and he brings my mother with him to this village.
And the idiot thinks up a plan, well his scheming friend does he just thinks is his idea.
This guy, his name is Tian Heggo, has cooked up a scheme out of a bad fanfic of Game of Seats, It is as follows :
Step 1 impregnate my mother.
Step 2 if it ends up being a girl dispose of her in the forest.
Step 3 Repeat steps 1 and 2 till you get a man
Step 4 make your son reclaim nobility for you
I must say aside from the award of best schemer, he has just won the Father and Husband of the Year award. Lucky me I have stopped being sane or I couldn´t act casually knowing that two of my sisters and my mother are buried in the forest behind the villa.
I would like to say that I feel bad about this but I have grown past the point of having empathy with death. I think that is the war veteran effect, having been present in literally all kinds of wars leaves you a bit cold to human contact.
Now leaving aside this unpleasant world, let's focus on the important PERKS !!!.
Thanks to my tempered mind and my perks I have been growing at an outstanding pace, seeing that I was a good investment, the pharmacist ( I still don´t know his name ) has been manipulating the meathead of " father " to have people in the village to teach me in a scholarly and physically way their professions.
This has led me to very good growth at the end of his entry I will leave some data notes.
And nothing else, for now, I will lay low and wait till I get my chance to run away possibly to the north, for what I know in there they got more of a town to town clan to clan civilization and that will be good because while there seems to be a lot of good things in china, they are all very restricted by the upper class, that probably will try to use me. I have also started to think of this as a video game of sorts having my interface giving me perks. Anyway, I will end this for now I will repeat these when something worthy of writing down happens.
[NEW]
Reflexes level 2
Anthropology level 2
Linguistics level 2
Martial Arts Level 1
Martial Arts Level 1: Your ability to fight in any style and type of combat.
(Sticky note ) I am trying to get some perks that I thought of but I don't get them even when I train and study specifically for them. Reason?.
Theory 1 = External need not meet : ( Fame, recognition, passing a trial or some standard ?)
Theory 2 = This is not a video game: I might need to level up or get a lower version of the perk I want and climb up its skill tree. You can't know how to run without walking first.
(This might be a possible soft limitation )
The master room in the villa was being used by Tian and the pharmacist, the desktop was full of documents and scrolls. The two of them were talking about the management of the village and how to embezzle the imperial stipends into their pocket.
-How is your son doing Tian?
-Very well as of lately he has been getting trained by that retired soldier that works at the mill. I was desperate when he began taking on literature classes with you, that he wouldn´t grow to be a warrior like myself.HAHAHAHA.
-(Of course you buffon you couldn´t even find your on boots even i handed them to you, your son is wiser than you meathead)
-Do you think he will be ready for the presentation at the Xian town?
-Yes he has shown to have his father's talents in martial arts.
-(You got kicked out of the army because you couldn´t even learn the basics of fighting with spears. SPEARS!)
-Good I will send the letter to our friend, in two weeks they should send a carriage to escort the young master to the martial arts stadium.
The two adults continued scheming all afternoon about how they would make the kid win the competition and bring the money home. Unaware that on the other side of the door, Diego was making a plan to use them to run away from home.
The two weeks passed quite fast with everyone in the village wondering why Diego was constantly asking them questions related to their profession when he was going to go to a fighting tournament.
