The Coming of the Traveler 57
When I got home, I found Mama and Mizuha sitting at the kitchen table. The piercing gazes scanned my body, giving me goosebumps. I felt as if I didn’t go home, but to the KGB major’s office.- Son, how long have you been playing tricks with older ladies? Mom was the first to break the silence, bursting into a rather unexpected question.“Could you clarify who exactly you mean?” I asked innocently, as if not capturing all the oppressive atmosphere emitted by the two frowning girls.So she's not alone yet? - Mom jumped to her feet with an angry look, - Who are these old purses who seduced my son? she demanded, surprising me with her reaction.“Big brother, that car… it belongs to Hiratsuka-sensei, doesn’t it?” “Pushed me closer to the edge of the Mizuha abyss.”- What? Did your teacher seduce you? - Mom came in shock, - Yes, tomorrow I will rip out all her curls! the woman exclaimed fiercely.Yes, that was her. And no, it’s me who seduces her,” I sighed wearily. “Mom, please calm down.

The weekend ended earlier than I, or any other student, would have liked.It's not that I don't like school, no, I have to admit that there are many advantages to such a pastime. However, I would like some variety. At the math lesson, I again thought about the need to find a source of income. Up to this point, I have only spent coins, but do not forget about the possibility of exchanging the real world currency for the system one.The main difficulty is that, due to my age, only part-time jobs are available to me in all kinds of conbinis and cafes. However, the salary for such jobs does not exceed 150,000 yen. It is not difficult to calculate that the time and effort spent will not pay off. Well, in fact, a whole month of work is equivalent to one successful sexual act. No, this definitely doesn't suit me.I can't even register a business. But then what? You can find yourself in the field of writing books and light novels, known to me from the past world. Fortunately, a quick analysis
The Coming of the Traveler 59
After meeting with Shizuka, the rest of the day flew by unnoticed and the next one came. In addition to the usual trip to school, today Meiko and I have a trip to the gym planned.Although the girl cannot be called pleasant in communication, for some reason she is more attractive to me than the same Yuika Koga. I think her impressive merits play a significant role in this. Besides, she didn't try to rape me...until she tried.Having honestly served the first two lessons, at recess I went out into the corridor to wander aimlessly around the school. Thoughts about choosing a way to earn money continued to spin in my head. Last night I tried to jot down a couple of pages of a light novel that I more or less remember and immediately understood why writing is considered not the easiest thing to do. I seem to remember the plot very well, but only until the moment when it needs to be denounced in words.This is where the problem arises, I absolutely do not remember what metaphors and epithet

Achievement: Autoerotic Asphyxia of Sayuki Tokihara - CompletedReward: 1 coinIt turned out that the system is ready to count even such actions as an achievement. It's scary to even think how many more achievements related to sexual deviations exist, for which the system is ready to be generous with a reward, but which I will never go for.- Master? Sayuki shook me by the shoulder in concern, seeing how I had been staring stupidly at the wall for some time, but in fact I was reading and comprehending the system notification.“Sorry, I’ve been thinking,” I dispelled her worries, gently stroking her head.— And about what? she asked, thrilled by the caress with closed eyes.— Yes, I thought about trying my hand at calligraphy. And it’s rather strange that I am a member of the club, but at the same time I absolutely do not participate in its activities.“You showed no interest in this before,” the president quite rightly remarked, switching back to a less pretentious address. Well, yes,
The Coming of the Traveler 61
As a result, Sayuki gave Saeko her poster, and she left, saying again that she would be glad to see me in her club.I got a lesson in calligraphy, making sure in the process that I didn’t get any talent in this area. The kanji came out crooked and completely unattractive. And even two hours of practice could not change the final result. As soon as I corrected one error, another immediately got out, which did not exist before. It seemed as if I was trying to drag the sofa through a narrow doorway, into which, in any case, only two corners could pass, while I stubbornly tried to shove the unpushable, stupidly alternating the corners.I would call my situation not just a lack of talent, but rather the presence of an anti-talent. Of course, one could replace talent with diligence, but it would take a colossal amount of time just to reach the level of the average. There is no question of achieving any significant success.And since I do not see an urgent need to master this craft, I see no
The Coming of the Traveler Prologue
ProloguePrologueWork is home, work is home. This is how many people live in my city, including me... By my almost thirty years, I managed to earn money for a one-room apartment on the outskirts of the city. After five years of work, I finally managed to take a vacation, and just for three months. There was such an abyss of free time that I did not know what to do with myself. I didn’t have any relatives or friends, so I didn’t want to go anywhere at all, and I’m too lazy, to be honest. However, summer has just begun. On the first day, I did the most important thing in a long time - sleep. But then my life began to change, for better or for worse, you can’t immediately determine.Searches in the global network gave me one idea - to try to play an online game with full immersion. After reading a whole bunch of forums, I found a lot of interesting information. Most wrote that the game, called Reinea, is absolutely indistinguishable from the real world, and also surpasses it in many

Chapter 1Character editor. Race and class. The choice has been made.Before my eyes appeared a vast space. The strangest thing was that I did not see my own body at all, but I still felt it, a kind of invisible. I noticed a large, about three meters high, oval mirror with a pale gold border, which hung freely in the air. A message flashed before my eyes.Choose a race! Hmm… I wonder who I should start playing as? I flipped through the list and poked at the first word that came across. A healthy monster with pale green skin appeared in the mirror. Her black hair was pulled back into a small ponytail. The evil look of the black eyes caused me some kind of hostility. From the lower jaw, two fangs rushed upward. The muscles were bulging so that any bodybuilder would choke with envy, looking at this misunderstanding, but such a character is not for me. I never liked orcs. Let's try again.Now a short, broad-shouldered dwarf with a lush red beard appeared in the mirror. A bulbous nose,

Chapter 2Reinea's world. Achievements or a pig in a poke? Target.The room dispersed so quickly that I didn't even have time to realize at what point in time it happened. Now a vast forest lay before me. The color of the leaves was so deep green that I thought some settings were off. However, the system showed perfect performance. I felt like I was in a fairy tale. A light breeze greeted me, running chilly across my palm. Wonderful landscape and blue sky without a single cloud. Not at all like our cloudy reality. A squirrel with a magnificent red tail ran along a thin branch and disappeared into the crown of a tree. In the distance, among the forest giants, a hare flashed. The birds were flying, completely oblivious to me. Hmm ... curious, so many living creatures. And some strange feeling. Breathing became somehow easier and ... more pleasant or something. How calm and good! Now I will definitely spend more time here than I originally intended."Greetings, Reinea!" I shouted, suc
