Chapter 154: Ch 154: Special Dungeon
In the middle of a pure white room, Rein found himself sitting on a chair. He just woke up from his sleep and his mind was not in full control. Rein did not need to sleep so he was very unfamiliar with this state that he was currently in after just waking up.
Then he started to remember what had happened with him. After parting ways with Anna and helping some of his lovers out a little bit more, Rein was finally ready to take on the special dungeon. But before that he spent quite a lot of time with Kagura who was the one who would be affected by Rein's absence the most.
He was unable to take Kagura with him as she was not allowed in the dungeon. And as an Eternal Grade item there was very little she could do to improve her quality. So she had decided to assist Anna and the other wives in whatever they would be doing for this time.
So, Rein spent the last few hours before him leaving with Kagura. But that time was soon over and they had to part ways. After that Rein went to a forest and wished to go to the dungeon and now here he was.
The last thing that Rein remembered was that he wished for the dungeon to take him and then his mind blanked out. So the place he was currently in was most probably the special dungeon where he needed to face his upcoming trials.
In front of him Rein found some kind of magic item and there was a panel before him with a bunch of words written on it. It looked exactly like the panels that sometimes showed up in dungeons.
Rein read what was written on the screen and was quite surprised. He had not expected the trials to be like this. He had thought that he would need to utilise his abilities properly and would have to show the dungeon he was good enough to get the recognition of the dungeon.
But that assumption turned out to be completely wrong. What he needed to do was to survive in a brand new life with none of this previous abilities but new ones. He needed to use those newly gained abilities to complete some missions and gather achievements. Only then would he be able to clear that particular stage by gathering enough achievement points.
This sounded simple and it was actually very simple but there were quite a lot of twists. He would not be able to choose the abilities on his own and instead he needed to do something called a gacha poll and the dungeon itself would prepare random abilities for him.
The achievement system was also quite complex. There were various kinds of achievement, some of them were hard and the other ones were easy. So obviously not all achievements gave him the same amount of points. There were even some achievements that would give Rein different amounts of points depending on his performance.
If he had a powerful skill, then it was all good. But if his skills were weak then he would need to properly choose achievements that he would be able to complete even with him weak powers. And some achievements were even time limited. So he really needed to keep an eye on the achievement page.
It was not Rein's first time taking on this kind of trial but this dungeon looked a lot higher ranking than all the other dungeons that he had faced before. So Rein decided to be extra careful with everything.
Soon he did the gacha pool and the abilities appeared before him. Rein thought that it was a good result as three abilities were truly a lot. But soon his happiness turned into disappointment as those abilities were really out there.
His first ability was a passive ability called "Steel Scales" by the dungeon. It made Rein's body to have very hard scales which had good defence. It sounded like a good ability but Rein was not happy with it.
That was because as a passive ability and he had no controls over it. So if he was born in a place where the people had no idea what abilities were, he would be thought of as a monster and most people would try to immediately kill him before he had the time to grow up. But at least it could be a useful ability with the defense it was providing.
The next ability that Rein had was called "Furnace Body". It sounded impressive but all it could do was to make the body temperature higher than normal. The ability description made it to sound even lamer as the example of this ability's use was to act sick even if someone was fine. Rein would be very pleasantly surprised if this could offer him something more.
Then his last ability was named "Rain Gain". What this stupid sounding ability did was simple. It allowed Rein to boost his physical strength and self healing capabilities when it was raining in his vicinity. It was a very niche ability that would be useful in certain conditions. But still if someone asked Rein if this ability was powerful or not, he would only say that it was not powerful.
But still it was probably the best skill between the three he could use in his new life.
After he was done analysing all the abilities, it was finally time for him to jump into a new life. What kind of place he would be born would also be completely random. So with a bit of anticipation and worry, he got ready to start his new life and his consciousness went blank again.
...
Rein woke up in the body of a 4 year old child and the memories of this body came flooding to his mind. As a small child it did not have much memory but Rein was at least able to understand the general situation.
He was born in a village and his family was one of the farmer families living here. The body that Rein was occupying had no idea if the village was big or small as the most he had gone was to the farming fields that were right outside their house.
Rein was happy that we would not need to start his new life straight from the mother's womb and was happier to know that he would have at least one year to prepare before his abilities awakened.
Rein was mostly worried about the passive Steel Scale ability as that might make him look like a monster. But with enough preparations he might have a chance to get rid of this trouble and allow the villagers to know about abilities more.

He would also need to find useful information and other things for the future. He also needed to start earning some achievement points as that was the key to clear this stage.
So with all his plans made, Rein got ready to start a Brandon New life in a brand new world.
