I don’t know why I was expecting an actual shop, but all I got was another screen with a long list of options to buy.

“Why are there 9 stats options and only 6 Ability ones?” I asked myself, and as if reading my mind, which it probably was, the Menu popped up again.
You have only unlocked 9 stat and 6 ability options, gain more achievements and titles to unlock more abilities and stats.
“You can answer my questions?” I said, shocked.
Some of them
“Where am I?”
Nowhere
“Thanks.” I deadpanned.
You’re welcome
For treating the Menu respectfully, you have earned 1 permanent Charisma.
“I was being sarcastic.”
How rude
For treating the Menu disrespectfully, you have lost 1 permanent Charisma.
For being honest with the Menu, you have earned 2 permanent Charisma.
“Okay then, you’re the Menu?
Correct
“Why am I here?”
You are a Reincarnator
“What does that mean?”
You reincarnate
“Wow. Thanks”
For treating the Menu disrespectfully, you have lost 1 permanent Charisma.
Note to self, don’t be sarcastic to the Menu. “So why do I have -5 luck?”
Title “Unlucky” -5 Permanent luck, Unlocks Luck stat and Luck tab.
Quick-fire question time. “What do my other titles do? Why do I have 1 in some stats? Why am I a reincarnator? Is this real?, What do the attributes do? Is -5 luck a lot?, What are the average stats? Is magic real? Do I reincarnate on Earth? Can you lie? And umm, How do I reincarnate?
Title “Adolescent” +1 to all physical stats.
Title “Reincarnator” Unlocks Reincarnation, General, Charisma, Intelligence, and Agility tabs. Allows reincarnation.
I have already answered.
Answer Classified.
Yes, this is real.
Intelligence: increases thinking speed. Increases mana minorly. Note, does not actually make you smarter.
The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.
Charisma: increases intended influence on others.
Wisdom: decreases others effective Charisma. Increases mana regeneration.
Magic: increases affinities with all magic types. Increases mana majorly.
Agility: increases micro motor skills. Increases stamina regeneration.
Strength: increase muscle’s growth, density and macro motor skills. Increases stamina minorly. Note, if the level of Strength is too high, injury can occur. Therefore, it is recommended not to raise Perception over 2 times Agility.
Constitution: Increases the amount of damage taken before an injury occurs. Increases stamina majorly.
Perception: increases sense’s sensitivity. Note, if the level of Perception is too high, injury can occur. Therefore, it is recommended not to raise Perception over 2 times Constitution.
Luck: Special statistics are classified.
Subjective.
100 in all stats is average for a human without System assistance.
Yes, magic is real.
It is possible but unlikely to reincarnate on Earth.
I cannot lie.
Would you like to reincarnate now?
Warning, it is recommended to spend your RP before reincarnation.
[Yes] [No]
I quickly hit no and looked through the long list of answers in front of me. Okay then, let’s see what I can buy.
First of all, how much do stat points cost?
Stat costs are the triangular number of the upgrade amount.
“What does that mean?”
Stats cost 1 RP, then 3, then 6, 10, 15, etc.
That makes sense, I guess. Now, for the exciting one, show all abilities.
[Reincarnation] Abilities
[Reincarnator Scan I] On use, scans the world you are on and detects any other Reincarnators. Does not tell you location or direction. One use per life. (5 RP)

What? Why are taxes in the general tab? That confirms it then; there are other Reincarnators.
‘Tis impossible to be sure of anything but Death and Taxes. Yes, there are.
“Very funny Menu”, I chuckled. Then a thought struck me, “are we reincarnators allies or opponents?”
Thank you very much. It is up to you.

I think to myself, “No more putting it off now.” I have some RP to spend. I should fix that, “Menu, spend 35 RP raising Luck by 5 points and buy [First Thoughts] and [Safe Birth].”
Done.
Now that I fixed my luck score, I won’t be stillborn, and I can think as a baby, I was a bit stumped on what to buy. Learning languages quicker would be great, but I only have 280 points left, and that’s almost half of them in one shot. Menu, what would you recommend?
Thank you for asking.
Calculating…
I would take [Reincarnator Scan I], [Detect Scan I], [Movement Speed I], [Endurance I], [Fluent I], [Movement], 2 in all stats but Luck, Magic, and Strength, 3 in Magic, and 4 in Strength. This will allow you to detect if there are other Reincarnators in your world, enable you to perform better in combat, and let you communicate with natives earlier than otherwise. You will have 6 RP left over
Thank you Menu, that’s really helpful. Buy what you suggested.
Done.
Would you like to reincarnate now?
[Yes] [No]
After a minute deliberation, I hit yes, and blackout.
