Chapter 2: Reincarnation Palace
"Huh, where am I?"
Emma, who should have been dead due to the terrible accident, suddenly found herself in a place where she couldn't even describe the color.
It's neither dark nor white; if she had to say something, it would be like some kind of neutral color, which definitely doesn't make any sense since the word color itself doesn't sound neutral.
"Welcome to the reincarnation palace, where every soul would be reincarnated in another world according to her karma."
After hearing this voice that seemed to be coming out of nowhere, the scene in front of her also suddenly changed; a building suddenly appeared, like that one of King Yama in Dragon Ball, but without the long road and the rest, only the building.
Also, there wasn't that long line of soul, if she wasn't seeing the half-man and half-beast from the window, she would have thought it was empty.
At this moment, as someone who has watched many Web novels and added what she has just heard of, plus the building that appeared in front of her, she has more or less some judgment of her situation.
It's very likely that she is dead; she should be in the netherworld or something like that; no, from what she has heard, it's the reincarnation palace.
With some curiosity, she entered the so-called palace from the door and directly walked towards the direction she saw the half-beast.
From the outside, the palace didn't seem any special or that big, but after entering, it took her something that she judged about ten minutes walking towards one direction before seeing the open door of the half-beast as if waiting for her.
"You can enter." as if sign her confusion, the half-beast who was looking at some kind of document suddenly raised his head and said, almost scaring the sh*t out of her.
Nonetheless, she entered the room and sat in the chair in front of him where he pointed.
He said: "Welcome to the Reincarnation; I saw that you already have some ideas about your situation."
Emma was surprised and thought since he knew what she was thinking, even without her showing anything on her face, he must be able to read her mind or her thoughts.
The half-beast raised his eyebrows: "Your brain seems to be working; you already know your situation, yet you're not panicked but even have the leisure to judge your surroundings."
He then waved his hand as if not wanting to talk about some things not that important: "Well, let's not talk nonsense, this place is called the reincarnation palace, depending on your Karma, you can be reborn in many worlds be it fictional or something like that if you have a bad Karma, you would go to a place more dangerous than the hell known to humanity."
Emma nodded, but she wasn't panicked; if the Karma he was talking about was what she thought, then even if she didn't have good karma as she thought, it would definitely not be so bad to make her go to hell, let alone place worse than there.
Just after she nodded, a panel appeared in front of her.
[Name: Emma Müller]
[Age: 30]
[Karma: 999+]
[Reason for her Karma: Emma is someone who has severely suffered in her childhood. After growing up, she didn't choose to take revenge but passed over the traumatism.]
[After graduating, she chooses to become a teacher so that she can help young children living the same situation or problem as here, unlike where her teacher didn't help her.]
[Thanks to her talent, she quickly became an Elementary School Teacher by twenty-three.]
[With her intelligence, she could have looked for more ways to become wealthy but chose to come to help young kids in a public elementary school.]
[She quickly became popular thanks to her affinity and empathy, and during the seven years she has taught, she has changed the life trajectory of so many children for the better without knowing.]
[Her death became the ultimate trigger for awakening the consciousness of many students she has taught because it was rumored that she committed suicide herself by running into a car because of her mother; thus, many of her students she has taught also decided to carry her legacies and helping those in need.]
The half-beast also read her panel; after all, although he could read her thoughts, he couldn't read her memory; he wasn't omnipotent but just one of the workers here.
He was surprised to see that she had 999+ Karma, it's not really something impossible because it happens from time to time but it's still impressive, she has such a bad background suitable for being a Villain yet she managed to have so many good Karma Point, it seems she wasn't born to be a bad person.
Emma, who looked at the panel, was also surprised; thought she did really know what so many Karma points meant, but at least it was positive; it should be good, right?
She asked: "Huh, so what now?"
The half-beast adjusted his glasses like a gentleman at work: "Now, you have the chance to be reincarnated in a world of your choice. Given your high karma score, you'll receive special privileges as well."
Emma immediately has some ideas, after all; the novel genre when the protagonist dies, and R.O.B. gives him some wish is something she has read so many times.
The half-beast couldn't help but murmur: "That's why I don't like dealing with humans in your world."
Emma, who was already thinking about what kind of wish to make, heard him murmuring something; she looked at him with a questioning face.
The half-beast replied nonchalantly: "Well, you will obtain privileges such as selecting your new world, retaining your memories, and even obtaining a special ability or power to assist you in your new life."
To be honest, hearing that she could choose the world to go to was a pleasure for Emma; she didn't have anything she was attached to in her original world, but she didn't want to cross into some weird R-18 world or into some dark period of mankind.
Without her asking a question about what kind of world is responsible, a holographic screen appeared, listing various worlds. Some looked familiar, others completely foreign. She saw worlds based on famous novels, movies, and even some that seemed entirely original.
What truly attracted her attention was the three major transmigration worlds by Otaku: One Piece world, Naruto world, and the Marvel world.
