Crap, crap, crap! Sorry, ma'am! I didn't know!
Alright, I'm in trouble. But how did she know I was here?
Wow, she's good. I mean, f*ck!! This is too bad!
Oh, phew... what was that about "evil"?
EXTERMINATE!? D-damn good thing that I took my time with that one...
...reincarnated?
Uh-oh. That's not good.
You don't need to describe it. Please don't describe it. I've got a baaaaaad feeling about this.
Bad feeling intensifying! Bad feeling intensifying!!
Meaning it's the soul that goes ka-blooey if it's too weak. I'm not sure if I want stuff like skills...
...why does she know how I died? But it's fine to see that my work's appreciated, even if the other party is a self-proclaimed evil goddess.
Tsk. She's right.
The last part of the message must be acting as buttons. The nerve...
LIKE I'VE ANY OTHER CHOICE!! As she said, I got no other shots of getting back my life..., or a new one, considering the situation. But it's an evil goddess! There's no way I could trust her..., but then again, no other choice...
...fiiiiiine. Yes.
An answer from the evil goddess came a split second after I pushed the yes button. Did she prepare the answer beforehand? Like, she program the message so it would pop up right after I agreed on her deal?
...now I'm scared of what would've happened if I pushed the no-button.
That's..., a bunch of no-gooders. The undead, bats, goblins, and demons...
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
Initial skills?
Who're you calling a horny mess!? But I have to agree that I can skip the stage where I go goo-goo-ga-ga is a good thing...
And now she's outright threatening me... Am I only getting a new chance in life because the darkness hates the light so much? Then what does that make me...
Let's switch gears. First on my program is to select my next-life-species.
The best bet here would be the bat. I mean, you get the ability to fly and all, and if I'm lucky, I could end up as an isekai's version of Carmilla. Not so sure about the idea of taking bloodbaths...
The zombie is...honestly not that bad. If it means that I can escape some battles due to stinking, then it's not a bad trade-off. Besides, my nose would probably have rotten off, so I'm not taking any damage.
The gob is out. I don't remember much, but I know I'm not a social person. Group fights or living in a clan or something is out of my capabilities.
Then there's the demon. The sloth-based demon. It has many evolution lines is tempting, but it feels like it's the weakest of them all. Then again, I did design a few demons, and outta the whole bunch of requests, they were my favorites to work with...
Okay, I'll take Grey Demon. It feels like it has lots of future potential with all its evolutions. Besides, being able to use skills from any monster species, even if limited to one line of monsters, is damn tempting.
I chose the Grey Demon and moved on with the "character creation". I didn't get to know what skills it has, but one of the free skill slots is greyed out, so it must have at least 1.
...? "Garami"? Is that my name? It feels like something I know, but I don't have the feeling it was my name from before I died. Rather, it feels like a game character or something from a manga I read before. Did the goddess slap it on me for some reason?
Well, it's not that bad, so I'll refrain from complaining.
Feeling a little better, I opened the list over the "Darkness skills" that I had to choose 3 from before being reborn. And this list is loooooong...
If the combination attributes have even just 1/10th of this amount, then there's no reason to not go for them over primary attributes!
Enough with the solo-stand-up. It's time to choose some skills. ...this one looks good.
My reborn self is of a race that doesn't like head-on battles after all. Stealth is important here. Didn't expect that some skills could be related to multiple attributes. That's new.
And for my second skill..., this one seems nice.
It wouldn't be funny to get ambushed in the dark. Especially since the first skill is probably better when I'm the one hiding in the dark.
...but this is a world filled with monsters, right? Don't I need something to fend them off? Attack skill, attack skill..., this could work.
A long-range attack is a must for someone who's never been in a fight like me.
...yeah. I'm sure. Rather, I don't know what else I should bring along from the possible Darkness skills on this list. That thing is as deep as the darkness itself...
Jokes aside, I've postponed this for too long now. Time for my new life to start! ...anytime now...GO GET THEM, ME!!
*Beep*
