Thursday: after a long day at work, It was already night time when I returned home.

Because of the chief's rare mistake, I and my team ended up with overtime to fix everything.

I had lost count of how many times have I dozed off on the train, when I reach my apartment, I think I could pass out instantly.

Because I was too tired, I had to take the taxi to get home, when I arrived at my apartment, I strip all of my clothes and then immediately take a hot bath.

Even if the world is ending I would always have a bath, after that, I lazily wore my pajamas, and then I went to bed.

Just when I was about to enter the dreamland, a strict man voice then said to me.

"(Wake up soldier!!! I smell Afghanistan in this house!!)"(???)

I then sleepily replied.

"This is Japan, not Afghanistan."(Touma)

"(Can't you hear that constant beeping sound?)"(???)

"Beep?, what are you talking about-"(Touma)

When the voice said that, I then noticed the beeping sound.

"Beep, Beep, Beep"

I then instantly woke up, when the voice said that he smells Afghanistan here + that beeping sound, then there is only one possible cause.

"Could it be..."(Touma)

"It is..."(???)

"A time bomb!?."(??? and Touma)

It looks like I'm not the only one who reached that conclusion, then that only means one thing.

"I need to escape!!"(Touma)

I then went to the front door, I tried to open it but it was useless, I even tried to smash the door, but it won't even budge.

Then for the next exit, the window, while I was trying to escape, the voice said.

"(Touma, I had already checked your neighbor's house, even their house is rigged with the bomb.)"(???)

"Is that so, aaargh, the window won't even move, screw it, I'm going to break this freaking thing."(Touma)

I opened my closet and then I took my trusted metal bat (self-defense purpose), I then swing it as hard as I can toward the window.

"Swing"

The glass window would usually be in pieces by now, but that didn't happen, the window itself is still intact and scratchless.

"(How did it go?)"(???)

"As you can see, as hard as titanium."(Touma)

"(I'm sorry Touma, it's supposed to be my duty to will guard you today, but I have failed, as a soldier I'm ashamed of myself.)"(???)

"Don't be so hard on yourself old man, you did your best."(Touma)

"(For your information, this kind of modus operandi belongs to the serial bomber, The Reaper.)"(???)

"(I had let my guard down today because I heard he was operating at Europe now.)"(???)

"So I'm going to get killed by such a famous person huh?"(Touma)

"(Once again, I'm sorry.)"(???)

"Stop apologizing, I actually should thank you."(Touma)

"(Why?)"(???)

"You know, since my parent passed away, I always thought that I would die alone, that's why-"(Touma)

"-Thank you old man, for being with me on my last moment."(Touma)

"(Touma...)"(???)

I then felt a long-forgotten sensation, yeah, how long has it been since I felt this.

The feeling of a warm hug.

When I closed my eyes, I then heard an explosion sound coming from all directions.

I also knew that my life will end here.

'KABOOOOOMMMM!!!!!!!'

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

With that, the light has gone out of my life, and the flashback also came to the end.

When I finally remembered the reason I died, tears start to shed from my eyes.

"Drop"

Wiping my tears, I then focus my attention on the actual letter, the letter goes like this.

Mister Kisaragi Touma, we, from the Grim Reaper's 3rd Division are sorry to inform you but you have (finally) passed away.

Please don't be shocked by this sudden news (we hope you are!). But you don't need to worry.

Believe it or not!, you Kisaragi Touma is a lucky chosen soul, thanks to that you shall be given 2 choices.

Which is either to ¹ascend to the afterlife or ²reincarnate into another world.

We're very (not) happy for you, if you decided that you want to reincarnate, please open the second envelope.

If you decided to ascend, please ignore this letter, after a while, an angel will come for you.

Sincerely

Grim Reaper's 3 Division Secretary

Shinigami Kureha

"What the heck with this letter, is someone pranking me?"(Touma)

There is some part of the letter that looks like it has been written by someone else,

Anyway, the thing that caught my attention is the 'Grim Reaper/Shinigami' part.

If that's true, then it all makes sense, the serial killer who magically escaped an armed car, a cat that's intentionally dropping vases at me, a truck that suddenly 'lose out of control', and of course, a famous serial bomber setting a bomb in my apartment.

If the Shinigami is the culprit behind my death then it all makes complete sense.

Leaving that all behind, it looks like I can reincarnate into another world, I can feel my 'chuunibyou' spirit awakening inside me.

Yeah, I'm happy for that and it also looks like that I have some grim reapers that resent me.

Probably because I managed to survive their ordeal/trial.

Because I had decided to reincarnate, I then open the second envelope, which contains an eerie black-colored manual.

The title is written in the shinigami language (probably?) with white ink, after touching the manual, I then looked around if there is any light gray-skinned and blue-haired 'Shinigami' around me.

On the first page, there is written 'How To Use' in perfect English, actually everything in that book is written in English.

"(Aren't this a Dea** Note)"(Touma)

Anyway, to use the gachapon machine, all I need to do is just pull its lever.

After I pull it, a capsule will drop from its opening, the capsule would contain my new life's fate and then I will be reincarnated into another world.

"Simple right."(Touma)

Before pulling the machine, I carefully read the manual once again, there might be a 1 in a 100 chance that I would miss something earlier.

After reading it again, I then discovered writing written in small size.

[WARNING: WHEN YOU'RE REINCARNATED, YOU WILL LOSE ALL OF YOUR MEMORIES]

That small writing is really important to me, it said that I will lose all of my memories when I reincarnate.

With determination, I then pulled the lever of the machine.

"Clack, Clack, Drop"

After clacking for a short while, the machine then dropped a capsule just like the manual said.

When I opened the capsule, a piece of folded paper then dropped to the ground, I then anxiously picked up and open the paper.

'Congratulations, your new race will be, Wolf Beastmen''

That is written on the paper when I checked the backside, the phrase 'Have a good life' was written on it.

Suddenly, the table, envelopes, and the machine then suddenly disappeared.

Then a white magic circle manifested below my feet and above my head, I then thought to myself.

"So, I'm going to be a wolf in my next life huh."(Touma)

"That doesn't sound that bad, but I should live a better life than here."(Touma)

If I'm going to lose my memories, I then need to etch this word to my soul, 'live a life without regret.'

The magic circle is now 90% completed, using the remaining time, I checked the paper again for any small writing just like that manual.

I then realized that there was a small symbol next to the 'Beastmen' which is ♀.

I then shouted to the empty space.

"Are you pranking me until the last moment Shinigami!?"(Touma)

At that moment, the magic circle then were completed.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

"Congratulations your majesty, your child is a daughter."(Doctor looking person)

When I open my eyes for the first time, I was greeted by a beautiful woman with silver coloured wolf ear and also a handsome man with black coloured wolf ear in front of me.

It might be because of the side effect of reincarnating, but all I want to do now is.....sleep.
