“By the way, suicide won’t be included in the death count.”
“Is that so?”
So suicide is not allowed, apparently.
Does that an I had to wait to be killed by sobody else, or maybe succumbed to illness, or wait for my lifespan to end?
If I asked sobody else to kill , would that count as suicide?
This might be more difficult than I thought.
“Oh, and even if you entered the cycle of rebirth, it doesn’t an you’ll be able to go through the Six Realms in order. Whatever you’ll beco will be random after you die.”
R-Random?
Then, does that an I’m going to be reincarnated into sothing other than human?!
“Er…Soryuu-sama. I’m so sorry. I don’t really understand this cycle of transmigration and Six Realms.”
“The concept of the endless cycle of reincarnation was brought into this world by folks from your — Saijou Haruto’s — world.”
So you an to say this rebirth cycle and six realms are originally from the world I ca from?
Ah, co to think of it, I do rember seeing the trailer of a movie about a protagonist trying to break free from ‘samsara’ by endlessly getting reincarnated.
“This world didn’t have the Six Realms, but the Evil God found it interesting, so he created sothing similar, and that’s the [Cycle of Transmigration Curse].”
The Six Realms, or Paths (not to be confused with the Human, Divine and Demon Realm) that one undergoes are Hell, Preta, Beast, Asura, Human, Deva, and they apparently made up what was known as [World of the Lost].
In true Samsara, or the endless cycle of rebirth and existence, one needed to undergo all the Six Paths with the goal of breaking free from the cycle. By the way, the only ti they could break free would be during their ti in the Human Path.
“As for your curse, as long as you die six tis without committing suicide, you’ll be able to return back to your original ti period and your own body. Do you follow?”
“Yes, I understand! By the way, if I request sobody else to kill …”
“I don’t think that will be a problem, probably. The only death that won’t be counted would be when you die by your own hand.”
“I see. Oh, how do I check how many more tis I had to die?”
I had to check whether I successfully died every single ti.
It’ll be a headache if I just pointlessly die several tis.
“You can just check the remaining count on your status board.”
It’s there?!
“S-Status Open!”
I looked at my status board.
Status: Cursed (Circle of Transmigration: 6 Rounds Remaining)
“....Seriously?”
It’s really written there.
By the way, I couldn’t read anything else other than [Status]. Everything else had beco garbled text.
“The dragon body you are currently in had been forcefully born into this world because of the curse.”
It was an individual who shouldn’t have existed originally.
That’s the reason why most of the information on the status board had beco unintelligible, apparently.
“I thought a new colored dragon was finally born after several thousand years, so I was elated, but…”
Apparently, the number of dragons during this period of ti — ten thousand years in the past — had been extrely few.
I felt a bit apologetic for what happened.
“Ahh. It’s not like I’m blaming you for this. Everything is the Evil God’s fault.”
“Thank you so much for being so understanding.”
“Don’t ntion it, you’re also the victim here. Going through death several tis must be a horrendous experience for humans, I warrant.”
Yeah, that’s right, I guess.
Just once is already traumatic as it is.
Having to die six tis…
Maybe I can punch Evil God seven tis with all I’ve got once I’m back inside my body?
Alright, let’s do that!
I was determined.
“Thank you very much for teaching a lot of things, Soryuu-sama.”
“Don’t ntion it, this much isn’t a big deal at all. Besides, in the future, you and my posterity — oops, it’ll be terrible if I tell you this.”
Eh, what will happen with your posterity?
It really piqued my curiosity, but…
“Well, let’s just say I’m in the mood to help you. It’ll do you good if you don’t hold back, and just rely on .”
I was curious why he wanted to help , but it’s also comforting that the omniscient Soryuu-sama is my ally.
“There will definitely co a ti when you will need my help during those several transmigrations. If you ca into my realm, just put your hand on the ground and call my na.”
If I did, Soryuu-sama will teleport into the Demon Realm.
By the way, the power that I would borrow when the ti cos would beco the sa power taken from when I t Soryuu-sama last ti.
“I understand. I am in your care when the ti cos.”
“Hmmm.”
“Oh, there’s another favor I would like to ask, and I feel very embarrassed asking this from you —”
I didn’t want to rely on him for this thing, though.
“Yeah, I got it.”
Even if this body had been forcefully conjured into being because of the curse, I was still a colored dragon, one of the world’s strongest monsters.
Poisons wouldn’t work on , and I wouldn’t fall sick.
Lifespan would be over 1000 years.
In order for soone like that to die, I would have no choice but to ask Soryuu-sama for help.
“Then, I’ll do it instantly, alright?”
“...Yes.”
Soryuu-sama raised a huge claw above my head.
I’m scared…
I never received any sort of damage ever since my status had been frozen.
It’s been a while since I experienced this fear of death.
“Good luck, Haruto.”
Soryuu-sama’s claw swung down.
