Classless Reincarnation

Chapter 3 Gods Are A Bloody Scam!

?As Jack read the Goddess' Blessing, his blood turned cold.

What kind of ability was this?!

???????????????

? S Tier Devotion! ?

???????????????

Your brain will be magically altered to help you serve the Holy Goddess with all your heart. Useless things such as free will and old memories will be discarded! ^_^v

???????????????

Losing free will?! Losing his memories?!

"W-what the fuck?! How perverse!"

[Accept the Goddess' Blessing? Y/N?]

"The heck, I will! Hell no! Holy Goddess, my ass!"

That day his usual peaceful slumber was utterly shattered.

This was a crisis! He was getting attacked even in his mother's womb?! What kind of world was this?! Targeting unborn children had to be against the rules, right?!

But just as he thought he had survived his biggest prenatal tribulation, it began…

[A Certain Blood Monarch…]

[A Certain Grim Reaper…]

[A Certain Overlord…]

[A Certain…]

There were so many of them!

All he could see were flashing notifications right in his face!

Some were golden, some darker, some even purple…but all were so flashy! It was as if all the deities of this new world were trying to give him an overdose of color!

They all wanted to offer him Ultimate Classes with insane power…and equally insane drawbacks! His danger Sense would activate for all of them!

Blood mage, Ruin knight, Grim Reaper, Vampire Ancestor, Apocalypse Overlord, Ethereal Incubus Prince, and so many more. But the more he read, the more dread he felt.

"Oh god! Slavery, torture, brainwashing, devoured, turning undead, senses deprivation, impotence, are you kidding me?!"

It was horrifying!

Accepting any would have destroyed his life!

"There's no way I'll serve you! I'll be fine on my own!"

Sadly, even as he kept refusing and refusing, more and more notifications came. He'd soon retch seeing "A Certain". Were gods telemarketers or something?!

But as the beings, names kept scrolling on his screen, he began worrying. Wasn't there like…really scary stuff out there?!

"This world's insane!"

With this realization came fear, with fear came worry, and with worry the instinct of self-preservation. How would he survive?! More importantly, how would he live a normal life!!

But then he calmed himself. He'd do as he had always done…he'd fight!

"Relax, Jack, you got this. Know yourself and your enemy, and you won't ever lose a battle."

He strained his ear, listening to the outside world.

The faint sound of conversations barely reached him, but it would be enough!…Or so he thought. The more he listened, the more his face twisted.

"?? ???? ???? ???? ?? ????!"

"….."

That clearly wasn't English….All the Web Novels he had ever read had lied to him! Where was his Language Reincarnation Cheat?!

Still, that wouldn't be enough to deter him! Jack was ready to give it his all for his peaceful upcoming life!

He spent the first three months of his mother's pregnancy learning the language of the land. While it was called "Common", the damn thing was harder than Earth's Mandarin!

The next three months, he figured out the world. While everyone had a basic system, what truly mattered was magical talent, with many turning to the gods to grow stronger instead.

Finally, he spent his last three months learning magic.

It was hella hard…. and SO painful!

It involved sensing Mana, a formless element in the air that served as magical fuel, then controlling it. The problem was that the energy was as wild as a freaking stallion!

The first time Jack felt it….

His fetus self almost got squashed!

Its sheer power was enough to flatten him on his mom's belly, soon followed by a great fuss from the outside.

The second time he almost killed himself….again—same for the third and fourth….and tenth. But, if Jack had one quality, it was being a stubborn bastard.

"Tch— As if I'll give up!"

Burning Mana instead of resting, he spent his entire days endlessly training. He'd swat away (trash) godly offers as he kept going and going.

Day and night magic was all he could think about.

He would bloody succeed even if it killed him!

Then it finally happened.

He cast his first spell with only two weeks left on the clock. It was as simple as producing a small current inside his abode to rock himself to sleep, but it was magic….MAGIC!!

Overwhelmed by mental exhaustion, he crashed, a smile adorning his tiny body. Rocked by magic, he drifted into a deep slumber until…

[A Certain—]

[A Certain—]

[A Certain—]

[….]

As if to spite him, even more notifications than usual came.

"Noooo! P-please stop! Let me sleep!" Eight months into his mother's pregnancy, Jack already hated the gods….all of them! Why must they torment him so?!

Thus Jack Bright spent the last week of his mother's pregnancy "battling" gods.

Exhausted, crying, and going insane… Jack not only began training in the womb, but he also began cursing. "Gods are a Bloody Scam!"

But just as he felt like his sufferings would never end, he finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel, literally!

Thus Jack was (re)born…
