Chapter 1: A complete life is missing only one piece of the puzzle.
Cold, but not shivering...
As Charlotte's consciousness returned to her body and she gradually regained consciousness, she subconsciously sprang to her feet and looked around, only to find that it was pitch black, and the distance was also dark, deep, and empty.
"Oh my god, where did I end up? Is this still Earth?"
I couldn't help but shiver.
Just as he was wondering where he was, a blinding beam of light, as bright as day, shone down from directly above, and he instinctively raised his hand to shield his eyes.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Charlotte, you are already dead."
A clear voice came from the light and shadow.
"I'll say it," Charlotte said, covering her face with her hands and closing her eyes tightly. "Could you turn the brightness down a bit? It's too bright, I can't see clearly."
"Oh, I'm sorry."
Then the light faded.
Only then could he finally see the girl who had fallen from the sky.
She had short, golden hair and eyes of the same color, a beautiful face, a well-proportioned figure, wore a pink dress and white stockings, and had a pair of pure white wings on her back.
In short.
They are beings like angels.
"Who are you?"
"Just call me Goddess Agent. Also, Mr. Charlotte, we regret to inform you that you have died. We deeply sympathize with you, but we have also prepared two options for you: one is to go to heaven after death, and the other is to start a new life in another world called 'Konosuba'."
Perhaps because she handled a large number of reincarnated individuals, this goddess-like agent was quite adept at her job, explaining everything in just a few words.
Oh, so I'm dead.
"...Wait a minute, "Su Qing"!?"
"Yes, "Su Qing"."
hiss----
Charlotte gasped.
Where is my blue-haired, idiotic goddess? Where is my classic, pitiful goddess at the start of the game?
Where did you go, Aqua?
You're not at the rebirth point at all!
Also, he did know that being struck by luck would send him to another world, but he had never heard of it being a two-dimensional other world.
Oh no, I've accidentally turned into a paper doll!
Charlotte.
His appearance is as ordinary as Louis Koo's when he was young. Although he is a third-rate college graduate, he comes from a wealthy family and has no employment pressure, so he lives a relaxed and carefree life.
I never expected to slip and fall in the middle of the road when I went out in the rain. Just then, the Universiade came towards me, and I found myself here in the blink of an eye.
But, Konosuba...
Brain: Don't go there, it's a trap!
Charlotte: Shut up! Whether it's a trap or not, I'll decide after I get there! Besides, if I don't go to Konosuba...
"I said, Goddess."
"Call me Goddess Agent."
Wow, how rigid. Charlotte calls her "Goddess" simply to try and get closer to her, but she doesn't appreciate it at all, or rather, she's completely unaware of it.
"I want to ask, if I choose to go to heaven...?"
"You would spend your days there leisurely, talking to others all day long. Because you have no worldly desires, you would be very bored and live the life of a good-for-nothing who just eats and waits to die... even though you are already dead."
"I knew it!"
Having received such an answer, Charlotte naturally wouldn't choose to go to the boring and tedious paradise, and decisively chose to go to "Konosuba".
"Okay, I've decided to reincarnate!"
"...Really!?"
Why are you so agitated?
"You are the 91st reincarnated person I have received. All the previous ones refused to go to that world, even though I told them all the information about that world without reservation, they still looked disgusted and wanted to go to heaven. Why is that...?"
The angel goddess looked confused and puzzled.
No, no, no, it's precisely because you honestly explained how dangerous that world was that they chose not to reincarnate.
In this respect, she cannot match Aqua.
That guy would trick and ambush naive reincarnated individuals, coercing and enticing them to reincarnate.
Despite being consistently ranked as the "most unpopular boss" in the celestial realm, his performance was undeniably number one; otherwise, he wouldn't have stayed in that position for so long.
"Then, in order for you to live safely in that world, please choose the reincarnation bonus!"
Here it comes!
The most exciting moment has arrived!
My life is missing the final piece of the puzzle!
—The power of omnipotence.jpg
This reincarnation bonus, which allows you to choose powerful external enhancements, is nothing short of a perk; it's incredibly exciting!
………………Um???
Upon seeing the list of cheat codes laid out before him, Charlotte was inevitably dumbfounded.
Indeed, the above are all familiar artifacts and cheats, such as Hermes' Boots, the Eye of the Future for 3 Seconds, and the Dragon Slayer Secret Technique, but there are no super-powerful equipment and abilities like the Heaven-Opening and Earth-Opening Sword and the Fantasy Creation!
"This...this isn't right!"
Charlotte made a final attempt, raising her hand and asking, "Goddess, is this the only level of cheat code you have?"
"Call me Goddess Agent. Actually, the previous Goddess in charge of reincarnation distributed a large number of powerful artifacts without restraint, and we haven't been able to collect them all yet, which is why we only have this level of reincarnation bonuses at present. Please forgive us."
She said this with an apologetic look on her face.
I remember now, Chris... also known as Eris, once inadvertently complained that the reincarnation cheat Aqua gave her was too powerful and difficult to reclaim.
It's likely that the large number of divine artifacts distributed, coupled with the difficulty of recycling them, led to an imbalance between income and expenditure, resulting in the Celestial Realm having no inventory.
That stupid goddess!
Even if you've already left, can you still get yourself into trouble?
This was the first time he had experienced the fear of being controlled by Aqua.
wrong!
There's still a chance to salvage the situation!
Charlotte thought of the same shady tactic as Kazuma Sato: to bring the goddess down to the mortal realm!
This is a lesson learned, and it demonstrates great wisdom!
The goddess agent in front of me is definitely not as powerful as Aqua, but it's already good enough that she's a normal person and not an idiot. After all, we can't ask for too much.
"I've made up my mind!"
"Yes, what is it?"
"I want you!"
He pointed at the angel goddess and smiled confidently.
With the angel goddess before him, it won't be long before he assembles a powerful team, becomes a renowned adventurer, defeats the Demon King, marries the princess, and reaches the pinnacle of life!
Just as Charlotte was praising himself for his cleverness, he noticed the other person pause slightly, then shake his head apologetically and said:
"I'm sorry, I'm a goddess agent, not a goddess, so you can't choose me. Also, this cheat has actually been fixed due to a vulnerability."
"—What?!?"
Things didn't go as he had imagined, and no wonder the other party kept clarifying that she wasn't the goddess but her agent; there was another reason behind it!
Right.
If every reincarnated person brought a goddess down to the mortal realm, wouldn't Konosuba be in complete chaos? Would the heavens still be able to function?
Damn it, the plan has failed.
Left with no other option, Charlotte could only search for a suitable cheat among a sea of rather ordinary cheats. Just as he was despairing over not finding a cheat he liked, he suddenly spotted a flyer—
"A hundred times the magic power!?"
Wait a minute, does this mean that after acquiring this cheat, I'll have a hundred times the magic power of an ordinary person? Wouldn't that make me even stronger than the Crimson Demon Clan? And if I also learn the explosive magic, where the more magic power I have, the stronger it becomes…
Who is the Demon King? I will end his life with a single blow! — "Hundredfold Magic Power Talent Equipped"
"Great, that's it!"
"It's been confirmed. So..."
After selecting the reincarnation bonus, the Angel Goddess Agent suddenly emitted a bright light, rising like a small sun, and at the same time, a magic circle appeared beneath Charlotte's feet.
"Set off, hero! May you become the one among many hero candidates who successfully defeats the Demon King! If your wish is fulfilled, the gods will bestow gifts upon you and grant you any desire!"
His high-spirited tone was exhilarating.
But Charlotte, who had risen into the air, showed no signs of being moved. Instead, she covered her eyes and kept shouting.
"My eyes, my eyes!!"
That really blinded him.
