Yes Yes Yes
Inside the train, a young man sat quietly. At first glance, the man looked to be in his 20s, a relatively young man. It had been a few hours since he had sat there, and it was boring him.
Feeling bored with not having activities to do there, the man decided to look at the people around him. It was weird enough for him to do that, but what else could he do. Apart from that, he was slightly interested in demi-humans.
That's right, Demi-humans.
Even though the name is still called the earth, it does not mean that it is entirely the same as the earth in general. Not only humans who live there. Of course, there are still the same plants and animals. The thing that set it apart was the demi-human race.
Strangely enough, everyone called them demi-humans. Demi-humans are half-animals, monsters, and other mysterious creatures that coexist peacefully with humans. It was pretty strange to categorize them all into the demi-human race group.
Like a fantasy world, Elf, Orc, Oni, Youkai, Lamia, Slime, and others live side-by-side with humans, learn about their culture, and even create harmonious families.
Returning to the bored man, it was Kimihito Kurusu. This year he is still 21 years old, and this year he is also starting a life in a new place. In short, he is wandering right now.
Kimihito has messy black hair with brown eyes and a fairly muscular build. It's all thanks to the exercise he's been doing all this time, though it's not remarkable now because he's covering it with his jacket. His face also looks quite handsome. His mother even said that he was the most handsome man in the world, even though he knew it was to cheer him up. But at least he was sure he could ask some girls out.
This is not his first life. Kimihito was previously an average human who was suddenly reincarnated as a fetus. He didn't know if his previous self was alive or dead or how he could be reincarnated.
Unfortunately, unlike the reincarnators in other stories, he can only vaguely remember his past. After all, 21 years is a long time. Besides, he had no cheating abilities or anything like that.
Kimihito remembers at the age of 5. He even explained to his parents that the destructive power within his body was developing, and it was dangerous if he couldn't control it. In addition, he also shouted for one village to know his strength.
"Urgh..." Recalling that embarrassing memory made him want to bury his head deep in the ground.
However, Kimihito could do nothing when he recalled his embarrassing memories. Right now, he could only hope that everyone who saw him had forgotten. He also hopes to reach his destination quickly.
'My ass hurts.' He thought about how long the journey had taken.
Kimihito admitted that the seats on the train he was riding were quite soft. But if he kept sitting there indeed, everyone would feel the same way as his ass.
The train being ridden is the Shinkansen. It makes sense if it makes him sit for long, even hours. Given the place of origin and destination are also quite far away. Moreover, he also needed to take one more train.
The place where Kimihito comes from is a small village, and his destination is Shinjuku, Japan. It took an extra struggle to get him to this point, to go to urban areas.
Kimihito decided to move from the village to the city because he wanted to try many things. At first, his parents disagreed because they thought being outside the village was very dangerous, but after hours of convincing them, his efforts finally paid off, and here he is now.
'If I stay there...' Thinking about it made him shake his head.
If only Kimihito were still in the village, his future had already been decided. If he had stayed there, it was likely that his parents would have told him to take care of the fields and hills they had. The future would have awaited him had he not gone to the city. He didn't want it to end like that.
For Kimihito himself, such a life is not that bad. He can live quietly without any problems, get married, and finally continue his quiet life. But of course, as a man with a smoldering young soul, it was impossible to let his future run like that.
"Sigh..."
Kimihito being able to get to this point was also not without risk. He had made a pact with his parents to go to urban areas. A covenant that determined his life.
Kimihito said, if he could survive more than a year in the city, then he would be free. But if he can't do that, he has to take care of his parents' rice fields and hills.
In addition, Kimihito was not even given an allowance to live in the city. He just went there with his belongings as well as his savings. However, his mother was secretly given an allowance, enough to last him for the next few months.
Thinking back on what he had done, he muttered, "Perhaps I should go to the toilet."
There was no particular reason for Kimihito to go to the toilet at this time. He wasn't in the mood to pee or poop, but he just wanted to stand up and walk around a bit. Relieve his sore butt.
***
Time went on, and the train kept going. Because of boredom, Kimihito began to think about various things. Starting from his past, his best friend left him behind, and for some reason, he suddenly remembered his childhood friend who had gone to the city several years before him.
His childhood friend wasn't a human, but a demi-human, specifically a Succubus. Succubus is seductive creatures of the opposite sex. They have the power to increase libido, especially for men. Many succubi abuse their powers for seduction and commit crimes such as using them to extort money from victims instead of their sperm.
"She couldn't have done that, right?" He muttered as he recalled what personality his childhood friend had.
"Excuse me, do you need any food or drink?"
While thinking about his childhood friend, suddenly Kimihito heard the voice of a train attendant beside him. Looking towards the source of the sound, he saw a woman wearing a uniform carrying a food trolley.
When he saw the ears and tail, he thought, 'Deer? No, judging by the ears' shape and color pattern, it's probably an Impala demi-human.'
"Can I order a bento box and a soda?"
"Sure, for the human species?"
"...Yes."
"Are all foods different?"
"All the food is almost the same, and it's just that there are some ingredients that are changed or rather adjusted." Said the Impala waitress while taking his order.
"Customized?"
Seeing the confused look on his face, she began to explain, "Yes, for taste and safety. Usually, carnivorous demi-humans preferred to eat meat, but that didn't mean they couldn't eat vegetables, neither did herbivorous demi-humans. Most importantly, not all foodstuffs are safe. For all the demi-humans. There have been many cases of one species of demi-human being poisoned by certain foods."
"Thank you for explaining Impala-san." He expressed his gratitude by addressing the Impala waitress by her species name.
Many said calling a demi-human by his species name would be more polite. However, demi-humans calling humans by their species name sounds a little strange. It's like Human-san.
"That's my job. Then I'll excuse myself, and I hope you enjoy the trip."
After the Impala waiter left, Kimihito was ready to enjoy the bento box he had just bought. A bento box and a bottle of soda cost almost 1000 yen. It was pretty expensive, but he still wanted to try it once in a while.
[DING!]
When Kimihito was about to open the lid of the bento box, suddenly there was a notification sound in his ear. And at that very moment, a bright screen appeared in front of him.
'Too bright!' He thought as he tried to read the writing on the screen.
[Congratulations! You have been chosen as the holder of the World System!]
[Accept?]
[Yes] [Yes] [Yes]
After reading them all, only one thing crossed Kimihito's mind 'Am I hallucinating? Maybe I'm too tired.'
There was nothing else that Kimihito could imagine other than the possibility that he was hallucinating. But it seemed impossible, and he believed that he was not hallucinating. Moreover, he did not feel any signs of hallucinating.
Kimihito also tried to look at the female passenger sitting beside him. Supposedly, she who was beside him must have noticed immediately when a bright screen floated in front of him. But when he looked at her continuously, the woman beside him gave him a confused look.
"Hmm? Is there something wrong?"
"Nothing, I just want to see the scenery outside the window." He said, giving an excuse.
Hearing this, the woman then looked back at her smartphone and chose to ignore it. Watching her ignore him, he thought, 'Am I the only one who can see that?!'
[Congratulations! You have been chosen as the holder of the World System!]
[Accept?]
[Yes] [Yes] [Yes]
It remains the same, and nothing has changed. Kimihito could still see the bright floating screen in front of him. Apart from that, there are no changes to the writing at all.
'Why are the three choices the same?'
'Is this a trap?'
Kimihito couldn't keep ignoring the bright screen in front of him as if it didn't exist. However, he felt annoyed if that bright screen kept hovering before him. So with that, he decided to click the options on the screen.
[Yes] [Yes] [Yes]
Kimihito, who felt strange and confused by the same options, decided to click on all three options with his three fingers together. Suddenly,

Whoa! I didn't think I'd end up making a fanfic novel. It's hard thinking about how it is, is it good, grammar, and others. I overthought in the end.
However, I realized one thing- no, maybe some important things. Here, I want to make a story and share it with you guys. I don't know if you guys will like it. But most importantly, I've made it!
Phew~
Maybe I can't promise daily updates because I'm still not used to writing and need to prepare some time to do it. But, I can promise to upload my writing every day if I get used to it. I will work hard!
Oh, right! There might be a few, or maybe a lot of grammatical errors that I'm not aware of. You know, English is not my first language. It's probably the third language I learned. So I'd love it if you took a little of your time to tell me about my grammar mistakes.
