6 Chapter 2 - Transformation (1) [Edited]
On the way home, passersby still mocked me, and I ignored them, somewhat. Granted, I could ignore them because my concentration was elsewhere.
I'd just realized something when I thought about how I would seduce the female leads. Although I'd transmigrated as Yuuya Tenjou, our core personalities were different, so I couldn't be him.
'It is impossible to make those female leads, and even female side characters, fall in love with me just being myself.'
I couldn't help but feel pessimistic. I had no romantic experience and wasn't certain of my chance to make the female characters fall in love with me.
In the end, I cheated. It was the only way to fulfill my desire.
I created a couple of abilities to help me pick up girls.
...
[Hentai Protagonist: A skill that makes girls feel that you're kind, reliable, and trustworthy, making them feel secure and comfortable around you. This skill does not influence a girl to immediately fall in love with you. This skill only gives you an opening to start romancing girls. Whether you can use that opening to have something more with a girl or not, it's up to you. However, if you use the opening this skill provided, bedding those girls won't be a mere dream.]
...
[Perfect Acting: A skill that allows you to act perfectly. No matter how sharp the intuition or how profound the ability of someone else to discern the truth, they won't be able to see through your acting.]
...
Since I did not think that I could pick up girls naturally and unwittingly like the original protagonist, I could only depend on such a thing.
As a wise person once said: "fake it until you make it!"
Or was it "fake it until you believe it"?
Well, that's not important.
Anyway, even though I've created Hentai Protagonist, it was not absolute. Skills like them only gave an opening to romance girls.
If I mistreated girls, their impression about me would turn bad instantly. After all, it was not brainwashing.
To tell you the truth, I was not comfortable with the idea of brainwashing someone to be my girlfriend. What I wanted was their genuine feelings, not because of brainwashing!
Funny enough, one of my favorite hentai genres was Saimin, literally meaning Hypnosis or Brainwashing. However, this was now my new real life, and as flawed as my character might be, I would never stoop that low!
And yet, a part of me was curious what would happen if I was unrestrained… But, I digressed.
Back to my new abilities, mainly the Hentai Protagonist, although it was not brainwashing, it would still help me to conquer girls if I put effort into romancing them.
It is like a snowball effect in a sense that if I cultivate their feelings properly, they would not mind to have sex with me. Hence, the skill was called Hentai Protagonist.
Even though that skill sounded dangerous, it was just social… Or rather, emotional lubricant. Like oil that lubricates the engine to run smoothly.
That was my bottom line. I didn't mind creating something like that, but an outright brainwashing is a big no!
Anyway, I finally got to my house. I went to get a bottle before going to Argena.
After arriving at Zenovis' house, I went to the field. Once I arrived at the field, I approached the watering can and appraised it.
...
[Infinite Watering Can: It contains an infinite spring of water. The water inside is Holy Water, and even a dead or dying plant will quickly become healthy with this water. The water is always perfectly pure and drinkable, and upon imbibing, will not only recover fatigue throughout the body, but also increase magical power.
Contractor: Yuuya Tenjou.]
...
'Honestly, that guy! Even a watering can is ridiculously OP! How much did he want to flex?!'
My face twitched as I thought that. Even though I knew about it, it was still ridiculous!
After regaining my composure, I filled my bottle with Holy Water. Once I was done with that, I went to the vegetables in the garden and appraised them one by one.
...
[Complete Recovery Herb: Consuming this herb can cure all kinds of wounds and diseases, even if you are missing limbs or blinded. In addition, the herb can also function to restore magical power. When picked, it leaves seeds behind to quickly regrow. This herb exceeds any legendary-class herb.]
...
[Super Power Tomato: A tomato that can increase attack power when eaten. In addition, it will also increase physical strength and energy, and reduce fatigue. When picked, it leaves seeds behind to quickly regrow.]
...
[Invincible Pumpkin: A pumpkin that can increase defenses when eaten. In addition, it also has the effect of improving mental stability, and makes one more resistant to mental attacks and debuffs. When picked, it leaves seeds behind to quickly regrow.]
...
[Winter Radish of Wisdom: A winter radish that can increase intelligence when eaten. In addition, it makes you better able to cope with special mind enhancements such as parallel thinking and high-speed thinking. When picked, it leaves seeds behind to quickly regrow.]
...
[Godspeed Potato: A potato that can increase agility when eaten. In addition, it also enhances visual acuity and perception. When picked, it leaves seeds behind to quickly regrow.]
...
[Lucky Carrot: A carrot that can increase luck when eaten. In addition, it also enhances visual acuity and perception. When picked, it leaves seeds behind to quickly regrow.]
...
In the end, I took two of each type, except for the Complete Recovery Herb, and put them in the Item Box. I also put my bottle of Holy Water in there because it was more convenient than carrying it around.
Speaking of the Lucky Carrots, they were something that did not seem to exist in the original story. Either way, it did not bother me too much, so I accepted its existence just like that.
After that, I returned to Earth and then went to the kitchen to prepare my lunch. I made a simple stew with the vegetables that I harvested from the garden in another world, and I also used the Holy Water to boil them.
As I prepared my lunch, I learned a new skill, Cooking, which immediately reached the maximum level due to Instant Comprehension.
For its information, it was like this:
...
[Cooking: Lv MAX: A skill that allows you to cook any meal that's very delicious and healthy as long as you don't intentionally make it bad.]
...
Once I finished cooking my lunch, I ate it with gusto.
"Wow! It tastes delicious! So delicious!"
I was surprised by the taste. It was a simple meal, but it was very tasty.
Granted, the ingredients were special, and the skill of the chef was unquestionable, so the result was special. Even so, I wasn't serious when cooking my lunch.
It made me wonder if I could cook something that made the eater moan like in the Food Wars series...
Anyways, I've never eaten anything so delicious in my old life!
I could not help but feel happy from my delicious meal!
And soon, my lunch ended.
After washing my mouth with the leftover Holy Water, I appraised my status.

Anyway, after I finished my lunch, I went to the bedroom. There I lay my body on the bed and contemplated my future.
After my INT went up so much, I could remember old memories from my old life. Recalling those memories became so easy, and I could recall the original story, word by word, until the latest volume I read.
"Since I'm gonna face a manifestation of Evil and even get dragged into an intergalactic war, it's better if I created some OP skills to keep me and my future companions safe."
I thought that loudly. Unlike when I was at Argena, I was less restrained with my thoughts when I was on Earth.
After all, Earth lacked the will of the world like the other world, Argena. Thus, I didn't need to keep my thoughts hidden.
And so, I started creating some powerful abilities. They were the seven Ancient Magics from "Arifureta: From Commonplace to the Strongest in the World".
Creation Magic, Metamorphosis Magic, Space Magic, Time Magic, Spirit Magic, Gravity Magic, and Evolution Magic. They are the seven Ancient Magics from Arifureta.
After creating them, I appraised those overpowered abilities one by one, getting the following information:
