Reincarnation

He slowly opened his eyes and found himself in an unfamiliar room. 

An old and stuffy bed that creaked in every movement of his. A few pieces of old paper sitting on the wooden desk by his side. And a bunch of bronze-colored pipe plastered on the wall. 

It looked like he was back in the steam age again where humans relied on coal instead of electricity.

One of the pipes was connected to the lamp in the room and aside it was a hole where you need to place coins for it to function. 

"..." 

He looked at his surroundings in shock. Moving his hand around, it felt sticky for some reason but he couldn't see it due to the lack of lighting in the room. 

But he could see a faint shimmer of light coming from the window, as he hurriedly opened it to allow light to bask in. 

"W-what is happening?" 

He shivered in fear, quickly stepping back because of the intensity of his emotions. 

"Why is the moon red?"

As he muttered that to himself, pain quickly attached itself to his head. His mind seemed like it would split apart. 

<<Warning! An unknown power is trying to fuse a remnant soul to Host.>>

<<Notice! Host is currently undergoing Memory Synchronization.>>

<<Initiating countermeasures…>>

"...I tried to commit suicide as Klein Moretti?" 

"Used a luck enhancement ritual as Zhou Mingrui and now here for some reason…?" 

"This world is…" 

He struggled to stay awake and not faint on the spot. His memories are in a mess, constantly fixing itself from this disorder. 

Hearing the mechanical voice echoing inside his head, he wished the pain would soon subside. It was so painful that it felt like torture. 

Klein let out a low gasp as he tried to find his bearing. His back covered in cold sweats, the pain finally receding into a faint throb, he slowly relaxed on the bed. 

Three lives… These lives fused and became one. He quickly understood his situation based on his memories. 

Transmigrating into the world of madness, where one could unknowingly intricate himself in bizarre and terrifying scenarios. There was only a single word that appeared in his mind. 

"...Lord of the Mysteries."

As he muttered those words, the temperature around him suddenly plummeted. The brilliance of the crimson moon blanketed the perimeter around him like a magical sphere. 

Wryly smiling, Klein looked at the sky and knew what was happening. 'She' must be watching right now. 

He felt 'Her' cast 'Her' gaze on him and 'She' inspected every nook of his body. Every part of his soul was laid bare for 'Her' to see. 

Helplessly waiting for 'Her' to complete 'Her' intent in this place, Klein focused on the floating system panel in front of him. 

<<[Profile][Wishes]>>

This must be his gold-finger that will help him in this journey. Every reincarnator has one in the novels he has indulged in. 

He quickly clicked the first option to check what it would show him. From the name, it definitely involves information about him. 

<<[Profile]>>

<<[Name] Klein Moretti>>

<<[Pathways] Nil>>

<<[Abilities] Nil>>

<<[Status] Concealed, Irregularity>>

<<Notice! Host is in a concealed state. No one can see anything about you.>>

Nothing out of place appeared in his status. Aside from the generosity of having a concealed state, he was curious about his other status. 

<<[Irregularity] Host can drink potion from multiple incompatible pathways. Host will also not experience madness. Host is not affected by this world's restrictions.>>

Klein heaved a sigh of relief when he learned that he will not be affected by the madness stemming from everything. It was a game changer for him and maybe he could even extricate people from the evil of potions as well. 

His room had turned silent. 'She' must have retracted 'Her' gaze from me. Even 'Her' can't see anything from my soul. What about those Outer Deities? 

Klein quickly threw this idea in the back of his mind. Navigating in the other section of the system panel, he saw a new notification appear. 

<<Notice! Host can wish for anything once a day. This rule is absolute.>

Wish? His eyebrows flickered in contemplation. The Fool Pathway is specialized in the domain of wishing. He can't help but think if something is in play for him to get this gold-finger. 

"But anything? Hmm…"

Klein lifted his chin as he tried to come up with the most reasonable wish he could have at the moment. Something that will help him in the long run. 

"Make me The Fool. Well, as if that would-" 

As he was joking inwardly, he felt an unknown energy enter his body. His eyes constricted in pain as an unknown power rapidly changed his body. 

<<Notice! Host's wish is granted.>>

Klein looked at the system panel in disbelief. He rolled his eyes when he heard the mechanical voice in his head. 

"This works?!" 

He fainted in the next instant, a golden power enveloping him like a cocoon. It blocked the world but others still sensed it, especially the deities. 

… 

In the astral world lies the divine kingdom of every deity, from good and evil inclination. 

The Goddess of Evernight, Amanises, flickered 'Her' eyebrows as 'She' sensed the changes in the astral world. 

Someone was ascending to godhood but 'She' couldn't see who it was. This was a situation that brought 'Her' unease. 'She' is the goddess who controls the domain of concealment but even 'Her' authority can't do anything. 

"...Which pathway is it?"
