Reincarnated In A Shitty Love Game

The moment before death is just a flash of black. Nothing else. It was just an empty feeling.

This was not a task. The game system was good as dead. She did not have any lives left.

This was the end.

Feng closed her eyes tightly, waiting for her small baby to hit the ground,

But all of a sudden, she fell into a soft fluffy fur. The surface bounced a bit.

Eyes wide open, she glanced down to see that snow-white giraffe-like creature laying on his stomach. The creature actually saved her.

‘This is new. I heard they are all terrifying beasts. Is this also the black forest beats of is it that guy’s pet?’ she curiously peered at it.

The giraffe slowly moved so that she slid down to the side carefully.

.....

Feng was still in a daze. She rolled off and moved close to its face. “you’re kind of cute.” Her hands gently touched its face.

The animal nuzzled against her small hands.

“Ah, you’re alive. I was expecting to find a pile of flesh and bones.” The man’s laughter came from behind her.

Feng was beyond pissed. She did not even bother looking back. sitting on the muddy ground she kept caressing the animal’s fur. ‘The beast is strong right? Can I use it to get out of this forest?’

Subconsciously she still didn’t believe that her family actually sent her off to this guy. The communication lines were botchy. All she saw was her family panicking and trying out something. ‘This is most likely a kidnapping.’

The man’s squeaky clean white shoes came close to her. “You’re smart, but not that smart. The magic powers here are all sucked in by the trees. So even if you climb up high and jump down again you won’t be able to get a proper sentence though,” he squatted down next to her. “Why are you even trying to run away?”

“Hello, you took me away from my home, put a weird spell so that I spit out all my trust and now you are expecting me to believe you. I don’t believe a word out of your mouth.”

The man sighed. “Fine, wait,” he took out another piece of weird spell paper from his clothes. “This is a truth spell. I’ll put it on myself you can check it.”

Feng scoffed. “it doesn’t work. You are a liar and you are only trying to...” the man slapped it on her forehead all of a sudden. “Hey!” before she could reach out and pluck it off he grabbed his hand.

“What is your deepest darkest secret, miss Rofles.”

Feng’s mouth moved on its own. “I have a system that gives me tasks and also gives me extra lives to complete it!” gasping she pulled her hand out of his hold and tore that thing off his forehead. Eyes wide open she glanced up at him.

“Interesting... super interesting.” He took the instant spell paper from her hands and held it up. “do you believe that this is genuine.”

Feng gritted her teeth. “I-I don’t.”

“You have to. You know what is true in your heart.” He pasted it on his cheeks looking like a silly cute puppy. “Ask me anything,”

Feng sat up straight. “Who sent you?”

“no one. I was enjoying my peaceful life when I was summoned by the principal of the magic school and called to save a small brat’s life.” he poked her nose.

Feng moved back wiping at her nose. “What is your purpose in taking me away? Do you have any bad intentions?”

“My purpose was to save you. Right now, your body is in a worse state. It keeps ingesting the magic particles in the air. You need to be in a place that would absorb that magic from your body to keep you from exploding. This place is it. the black forest is known to be dangerous only because the black birch trees are known for breathing in all f the magic in this area leaving it barren. Even the most powerful mage would be left devoid of powers. And answering your second question I do not have any bad intentions.”

Feng blinked. She partially believed him now. Her body was shaking badly before she collapsed and after that, she had no recollection. “Why did my body become that way?” she cautiously looked his way.

“You have awakened a very powerful time ability. Such a powerful force is harder to control at such a young age. That is why it’s vital for mages to join a magic school to be guided step by step to use their powers without going out of control. But you troublesome brat had to do the opposite. You used your powers before your body was ready to accept it leaving you in this predicament,” the man once again pinched her cheeks.

Feng pushed his hand away. “I have used my powers before. This didn’t happen.”

“You were lucky last time. But this time not so much. You pushed yourself too much, young kid.” He glanced at her with a smile. “I heard you saved your uncle’s life. I was kind of surprised when I heard that. The all so powerful duke was saved by a young ten-year-old. I was quite curious after hearing that. Only because of that I came to visit you. But after seeing you I realized why you were that powerful. You, my little lady, are not so little. You are an old lady in a small tiny body. I know rebirth and reincarnation are a thing but this is the first time I’m seeing it in person. It’s fascinating.”

Feng’s eyes dulled. This man knew all of her truth. While the truth spell was on his body she needed to know if he was a threat or not. “What will you do with that information? Will you tell anyone?”

He nonchalantly shrugged. “I have no one to share this with. You see I’m special like you too. While your soul has gone through two lives I have passed through thousands of years in this world. And it still fascinates me to this day. Every year everything changes. The people’s faces the places I know.. everything. It never bores me...”

Feng’s curiosity was piqued by his remark. “Have you had any loves ones in your life?”

“I have... people have come and gone... no one remained with me...” his bright eyes slightly looked down at this.

Feng did not wish to talk about dull topics anymore. “How will you solve my issues?”

“I have to train you, of course. You will be trained while we are traveling. I’ll keep you in this forest for two years and after that, we are beginning our journey around the world.

Feng sat up straight. She had been in this world for eight months and she had only seen a few cities. She too was curious about the world cultures of this game world.

“Mister ling how did you make such a detailed world?” She thought with a smirk.

“who’s this ling?”

“The game Creator,” Feng said with a frown. Once again, her mouth was moving without her knowledge. eyes wide open she searched her body again. The spell sticker was on her shoulders. “You!”

The man just smirked and got up. “Stop calling me you and that... mi Claus in this lifetime. You can just call me grandmaster.” He pulled her up.

Feng dazedly stood up looking at his dazzling smile. “Has anyone told you look like an angel?” she said with a frown once again. she hurriedly plucked that sticker off and tore it in case the man would stick it on her again.

“I am well aware of how good I look. That is why I try my best to hide it. men and women go crazy for it. young miss, you have to promise me one thing. You must not fall in love with me. I have already passed through so much in my life. I down twist to have a clingy tail in this life as well.” The man said with a weird expression.

Feng grimaced. “ew, you’re like an ancient mummy dude. I would never fall for you. Never,”

The man’s smile fell. “Never? You sound so sure? Do you hold feelings for anyone else?”

Just after she said that Feng suddenly thought about the two dazzling faces. Their identical faces might seem the same to others but Feng could give a detailed report on their differences. Their smile, their eyes.

She hurriedly shook her head. “NO! I don’t have anyone I love!”

“oh, is that so?” Claus sneakily took out another spell paper.

“don’t you dare stick that on me? I will punch you Claus!”

“it’s master dear, call me sweetly, dear master.” He put away the spell paper and held out his pale white hand. “Shall we begin our journey?”

Pouting, Feng took his hand. “Will I get good food?”

“no. you might have to eat grubs.”

“Can I go back go back on that deal? I’ll just live in this forest.”

“no~ you have already accepted me as your master. No going back~”
