Orc Lord

Ah… I knew it would end this way…

Idiot. Why weren't you using your turn signal?

Ah… If only I could have stopped properly…

Oh! Look at that! They got out. Looks like they're perfectly fine.

Psh. Figures.

Meanwhile I'm over here bleeding out.

Ah… it's numb. I don't feel the pain. First I was too in shock, but now it's just cold.

There's too much blood spilling out. Did I sever an important artery somewhere?

No good. I won't last until the ambulance arrives.

Look at that idiot panicking. Has he even called for help yet?

… Eh? Ah, my vision is becoming blurry. Is it over? It feels kind of melancholy. I was enjoying myself, you know? There were still a few things I wanted to do. I'm only 24, jeez…

Mom, sis, grandma, looks like I'm going first. Sorry. I wanted… to take care of you all… just a little… to return the favor…

And thus, I died.

[[Soul wavelength match found. Initiating W procedure. Establishing link.]]

Huh? Did I just hear something?

Moreover, I'm still thinking, so I guess things haven't ended yet. Is it the afterlife? Reincarnation?

I don't know if my own preferences matter here, but there’s no harm in just making a wish, right? A wish for the future…

Whatever special power suits me--and I hope it's something powerful enough to shake the world--I want it! Yes, that! A cheat!! That’s my wish.

[[Confirmed. Unique skill acquired.]]

Trill, huh? Alright, voice, I trust you.

… I wonder if there will be cute boys there? Maybe I won't be alone this time around.

[[Link established. Opening soul corridor. Opened. Transmigration beginning.]]

Hm? Something’s changing. Are we starting? Alright. My policy is to take it easy, but I'll also do my best~? Okay… ready.
