I was back, back in that world.

As someone who had accepted death, the sun’s rays felt as hot as scorching heat. Actually, I lied. Maybe it was because I had become a Demigod, but I didn’t feel much heat or cold.

The place was in the middle of a meadow somewhere.

No people could be seen.

There was a walled town in sight, so I guessed the god wanted me to go there when I was ready.

In a reincarnation where the starting point was random, this kind of starting position would probably be classified as a failure; however, given that I already had more than enough fighting power, it was actually better than randomly dropping me inside a city.

For now, I decided to start by reviewing the current situation.

Maybe there were some skills I’d like to know before I went into town. So I decided to open my status.

As usual, the skills were a complete mess.

There were definitely similar skills. Or rather, it seemed like most skills would just be part of the Hero Set.

As I was thinking about this a change occurred in the skills section.

Skills: Language Comprehension | Contract | Knight | Friendship | Hero | Messenger of Light | Blacksmith | Plotter | Installation | Lively | Daredevil | Witchcraft | Mischief Archery | Command | Alchemy | Flight | Spear Mastery | Composure | Disguise | Sage | Fast Casting | Incitement | Vanish | Spy | Stealth | Make-up | Seduce | Demigod Eyes | All Powerful | Iron Body | Pressure | Weapon Creation | Charm | Misrepresentation | Fast Reading | Tame | Beast Ears | Saint | Wall of Light | Mood Maker | Ancient

Skills: Language Comprehension | Hero (6) | Knight (6) | Sage (7) | Saint (2) | Spy (5) | Demigod Sense (1) | Contract | Creation | Tame

It suddenly became integrated and received a ton of change. It became categorized with a few places I could expand, making it cleaner and more organized.

The number in the brackets was probably hinting at the amount of skills.

I could only assume that this too was thanks to me being a Demigod. Being a Demigod was the best. Although yet imperfect, I could see myself with one foot into the domain of gods.

All in all, with the condensation it came to 10 skills. In this world, that was an unbelievable number of skills.

Although I had the Hero skill, I honestly believed that I embodied the Demon Lord better.

After all, what I was trying to do wasn’t any different than the Demon Lord. I was planning to take away what was necessary for the kingdoms to prosper.

Now then, I decided that before going into the town, I would first use Spy.

The Spy could help me conceal myself, and Stealth would help me hide my Status. However, the most important of the Spy skills was Camouflage. I could use it in conjunction with Stealth to manipulate the numbers.

I could even change my age and gender. If I used all of my skills I could likely revert to how I was before reincarnating.

I never would have done it, though, because it would have surely landed me in trouble.

My skills were essentially what my classmates possessed, but the fact that I had Camouflage suggested that there might be others besides Fujiwara who concealed their abilities.

And Charm could honestly match the Hero skill just with its effects.

Typically, Charm would only work on the opposite sex. However, the skill said that individuals were attracted to anyone whose eyes met mine, regardless of gender.

And the victim of the skill wouldn’t be able to resist unless they had high Mana and Resistance. If I were to use it, that alone could breed fanatics, so I refrained from doing so.

After all, this world’s god didn’t need any believers. It wasn’t as if he existed only because of the intelligent life forms.

Getting to the topic at hand. This meant I could toy around with the crazy status as much as I wanted.

I thought it would be more convenient if I became a man since I could disguise my gender and age, but when I tried it out, I felt very uncomfortable, so I decided to use it only when the occasion called for it.

For example, when I met my former classmates.

If they couldn’t recognize me as Makoto Toriyama, then this reincarnation would’ve been pointless.

Though it felt strange to me that I would feel uncomfortable camouflaging as a man, given that I’d been a man in the first place.

I decided to just tweak my ears so that people wouldn’t mistake me for an elf. That was all I had to do in order to pass as a normal adventurer.

I preferred to keep the image of a young individual that had emerged from the countryside with the hopes of making a fortune. If I were to make my age ridiculously high people would start wondering why I’d become an adventurer at this age.

Though I guessed that being a sole female adventurer was quite strange by itself. Nonetheless, I figured that this much would somehow sort itself out.

This is how my status ended up.

I made it appear as if I would be an E Rank adventurer in terms of ability, with age based on appearance.

My previous age was 16, but with the way I looked now, I estimated 14 would be the most I could go with.

I initially thought it would be fine without any titles or skills, but being invited into parties or such seemed like a bother, so I fabricated a title and skill that wouldn’t make my solo activity seem strange.

The Lone Wolf Skill granted me a stats increase whenever I acted alone. Or that’s what I added as a flavor text.

I was Finis, aged 14. I used to live in a small house in the forest with my mother and father, but when I was 10 years old, they were both attacked by demons and died. Since then, I had been living on my own, but my house was falling apart and I found it increasingly tough, so I decided to leave the woods.

I was good at fighting and such, but I struggled with working alongside others.

I even set up that background for myself as flavor text.

I believed the fact that something seemed kind of false actually made it more truthful.
It could also help with me not having the necessary common sense.

As for common sense, I considered buying a slave as a temporary solution, but I didn’t know if there were slaves available, how they were treated, their costs, etc.
I would have to find out once I got to town.

Also, I was curious about my current possessions.

I had ten brown coins, ten silver coins, and ten gold coins.

I guessed that God just found the whole thing annoying which is why he’d just given me 10 of each.

I assumed brown was for copper coins, silver for silver coins, and gold for gold coins, but it was possible that the regular people never actually saw gold coins, or something along those lines.

Though with the way it was now it meant that whenever I had to buy something I wouldn’t need to take out a needless amount of money, so it was all good.

With that sorted I was ready to set out. I wondered if there was anything else for me to prepare, however, I decided that I’d worry about other matters when the time came.

For now I just headed towards the town ahead of me.
