Prologue 4: Comprehension

I breath out a sigh and I slumped down on the soft cushion of the Sofa

*ting-ting-ting-ting*

I heard a sound. Alarmed, I sat up straight. I looked around for the source of the sound.

*ting-ting-ting-ting*

Turns out it was the glass table in front of me.

The table was empty. I could clearly see through the glass. But the sound definitely came from the table. I leaned towards the table for closer inspection.

Soon, a green circuit like pattern appeared on the glass. It was too distinct. The lines the circuit pattern converged to form a fingerprint pattern.

I recognized it. I was the same symbol I saw on my phone!

The darn symbol that started all of this. Should I tap it?

I wasn't sure. I didn't trust this thing. But did I have a choice?

I needed answers. And this is my best bet.

Taking a deep breath, I placed my thumb on the symbol.

Soon texts started to appear.

The surrounding identified as safe. Proceeding to next phase.

Please ask your question, contracter. This is your only chance to gain answers you seek

That's what it said. It was ready to answer. And it seemed the area to be safe.

Soon a keyboard appeared on the glass screen.

I typed:

-basic taijutsu: ancient ninja hand to hand technique

-sensory arts: ability to sense the psion/ pussion waves around the user and hide ones own presence. Further improvement unlocks new abilities

Wait, isn't all these the character information I gave? But why am I that character? Contract? Is that why it asked me all these stuff? To send me here?

And psion? Isn't that stuff from 'irregular at magic highschool' series? What does it have to do with Grimm?

And the ability. Why do I have three mangekyou sharingan abilities? Why is susanoo overwritten? Is it because I got two new abilities?

It took me a while the process all the info. I wanted ask more about this, but decided to ask more important details. Taking another deep breath, I typed

What is my real identity?

User has no access to that information or the memories related to it due to penalty of using more than allowed Skill Points

What is skill points?

The points used for building the character

Why was I not informed about the penalty?

Because user didn'r check the 'Terms and Conditions'

Even if the system had no physical form, I imagined it looking at me in a dissapointed look, because I sure would.

I mentally facepalmed.

Remember kids, always read the terms and conditions of any random site that asks you to build a character out of nowhere. It will save a lot of trouble.

Why am I here?

Two universes that is in sync with user's universe has merges. But this merger would result in chaos for the world if left unchecked. If the chaos ensues, this world shall fall into eternal doom. The contractor must prevent this outcome. And hence you are sent here with all the conditions you have asked.

What is the chaos?

The secret of the wesen gets unfolded to the whole world. This will result in all out war with no true winners. Just distruction.

Why choose me?

You have the basic understanding of both the world that merged into one. You were willing to proceed while other did not. Other turned away after reading the 'Terms and Conditions'

See what I mean?

Am I the only contractor then?

For this world yes. For many other world with similar fate, other contractors are sent.

Will I get my memories back?

No

Will I get to return to my world?

No

Why Japan?

In the current timeline, the pivotal point of the world seem to be Japan. So the contractor was sent here to make use of this.

So far, I was able to get the general idea of why I am here. I have to make sure a war downstairs reveal out between the Kehrseite and wesen. And due to using the SP too much without realising and because I haven't read the 'terms and conditions', they taken away my old identity.

So now I have no idea who I was, what I did, where I lived, anything. Even my face from the reflection of the glass doesn't seem to be my face.

I rubbed my temples. That's all I could do. I can mope on the floor for all my life but it won't matter.

The fact of the matter is, my old self is as good as dead.

Is there a time limit?

No

Any penalty for failure?

User's soul will me erased from existence.

So I have a gun to my head. Good to know.

What is the current date ?

February 17th, 2095

Will Shiba Tatsuya be important for my task?

Can't predict. But major events involving the Kehrseite revolves around him

I thought as much.

For now, I got all the Information I could think of. So I got up from the sofa, went to the locked room and let Fujimiya-san out.

As she walk out, she asked me,

"Why the sudden change of heart? Did Rodrick return?"

"No. But I decided to trust you. We need to talk", I said seriously. Fujimiya-san simply nodded and we walked towards the living room.

We sat down on the sofa, and Fujimiya-san turned towards me and spoke, "what do you wanna talk about kid? "

"Obito"

"What? "

"my name. It's Uchiha Obito"

"So you got your memories back, Uchiha-kun?"

"Just my name. And please, call me Obito"

Hearing my reply, Fujimiya-san simply nodded.

"So", I began to speak again, "from what I know so far,

Wesen: the collective term used to define a separate race of beings that live among humans my changing form-"

"woge", Fujimiya-san interrupted me.

"excuse me?"

"Woge. The term used to refer to the change wesen form", she explained while turning into her fox-like appearance. "Woge is of two types. First woge that comes from heightened emotion. This woge is usually involuntary and the Kehrseite can't see it. But a grimm can. The second woge is what allows the Kehrseite to see a wesen's true form"

"Got it. Woge, the change in appearance"

"Next is Grimm, the term used to describe humans who can see wesen when they woge. They have a history of killing wesens", I continued.

"Yes. And the way how wesen identify Grimm is also quite interesting", Fujimiya-san said, still in her woged state.

I tilted my head, acting confused, not revealing that I already know the answer.

"When a wesen woges, they see a Grimm's eyes turn deep black. We are able to see our woged self in those infinitely dark eyes", she said. "Not a pleasant feeling to get used to"

"And your case is even more peculiar", she continued. This time, I was genuinely confused.

"earlier when you were hanging from the ceiling, your eyes weren't black"

"my eyes aren't black?",

"It's completely black now, but earlier it was red", she said.

Red? I was even more surprised. But then, I got what she maybe implying.

I didn't have too much experience, but could feel the flow of the psions in my body. Focusing it at my eyes, I felt the world has slowed down around me.

"That's it!", Fujimiya-san exclaimed. "Your eyes are completely red, like blood. Looking into it seems like I am seeing my reflection inside a lake of blood", as she spoke, I could see her tremble slightly.

She switched to her human form, or should I say, she woged back to being human.

"So your eyes did change", she nodded in realisation, seeing my sharingan.

"Yes. It's called the Sharingan"

"You remember that too?!"

I nodded in response and said, " I can remember my name and my abilities. It's almost as if it's wired into me", I said

Fujimiya-san's eyes widened on hearing that. I can already guess what sort of conclusion she would reach after hearing this, and I had no intention to change that.

"... The copy wheel eyes", Fujimiya-san translated. "What does it copy?"

"it grants me kinetic vision and photographic memory. So I can basically reproduce what I see. For example, if I see hand to hand combat in front of me, I will be able to replicate all the moves showcased", I explained.

Like a curious kitten, Fujimiya-san's eyes glittered, "what about that phasing ability?"

"We are going off topic", I changed the subject, deactivating my sharingan. If possible, I would like to keep my abilities a secret. "Kehrseite, referring to ordinary human"

Probably understanding my intention, Fujimiya-san didn't press about my abilities and continued, "then Kehrseite-Schlich-Kennen referring to humans you know about wesen", with a bit of a struggle, Fujimiya-san recited the German word. "At least that Is what it's called in the west, here in Japan, we call them kuraishira, short for 'known darkness'"

(bear with my lack of knowledge of Japanese)

I nodded. Though I knew about the German name, I didn't know about the Japanese name. It's still weird how I understood Japanese so well.

By then, I sensed someone on the other side of the door. It was a familiar presence.

The door soon opened and a man walked into the house.

He was a tall white man. His hair was black, styled in pomade. He trimmed beard and mustache, perfectly fitting his handsome face. He looked like in his twenties. He wore a black leather jacket over a black shirt.

I knew this man was the guy from the other night. I could clearly remember his presence.

"Rodrick I assume?", I spoke up in English, much to their surprise. It felt more natural that Japanese.

"Yes", Rodrick smirked. "Who are, Mr Grimm?"

"Uchiha Obito"
