Kurokawa Saki was silent.
Should she be glad that she died in her sleep or feel annoyed because she died without realising it?
Considering her lifestyle, Kurokawa Saki was not that surprised to find herself dead suddenly, though.
Her family members have passed away far earlier and she's just a NEET in her thirties who have no one else to care about.
An extremely ordinary and boring life.
[Are you ready to listen to the mission, Miss Kurokawa Saki?]
"Ah… alright… Can I ask what world you're talking about first?" Kurokawa Saki thought about her ability and felt that she would be a big disgrace for transmigrators.
Other transmigrators have excellent skills, memory, or something, but Kurokawa Saki felt that she didn't have any.
She's a completely ordinary person.
If there's anything she's good at, it would be imagining things.
After all, no matter how crappy her books are, she still has a few readers.
That's enough to make her somewhat happy.
Well, barely enough for her living.
Not that she cared that much.
[Yes. Everyone who comes here will be screened and after observation, you have been selected to enter Conan World, Miss Kurokawa]
Silence
Conan's world?
Thinking about the football that could block the satellite or even cars that fly… Kurokawa Saki felt that her safety would be threatened.
"This… is there no safer world?"
[Would you prefer Naruto, One Piece, Blea….]
"Please forget it." Kurokawa Saki's lips twitched. If she had to enter any of those worlds, she was absolutely sure that she would die in the first few days.
Because she had no knowledge of survival in the wild!
Saki: T_T
In comparison, although there's a chance to be killed at all times, the Conan World sounded safer.
…probably.
[Yes. When you enter the world, there'll be two main missions that you have to complete. The first one is a group mission that had to be completed by the 12 transmigrators who came into this world. The second mission is the personal mission depending on your talent and identity]
"Talent and identity?" Kurokawa Saki frowned.
[You may extract an identity before shaping your character to make sure that you will be able to make proper adjustments. Your talent will depend on your imagination and the adjustments made for you when you extract it. The talent can be something supernatural or simply an extension of your physical ability]
Kurokawa Saki nodded thoughtfully.
Considering the Conan World, having some kind of ability that could allow them to survive longer will be the best.
[Would you like to extract your identity?]
"Yes"
Ding!
[Congratulations, No. 1, you have obtained the identity: ICPO Undercover in the Winery]
Kurokawa Saki: "..."
Kurokawa Saki: !!!
Putting aside the joke of naming the Black Organization as Winery, how the hell is she going to survive as an undercover agent?
Is the ICPO standard for recruiting agents so low now?
Kurokawa Saki wanted to cry!
She wanted to protest!
"Can I… extract the identity once again?" Kurokawa Saki asked with her voice cracked due to fear.
She might have died in her sleep in her previous life, but she absolutely didn't want to die for the second time in the game in such a cruel way!
Just thinking about Gin, who will point a gun at her forehead and ask whether she's an undercover agent, Kurokawa Saki felt her mind turn blank.
Can she… be a normal person?
[No]
The cold and merciless sound of the system shattered all hopes in Kurokawa Saki's heart.
She sighed deeply and could only accept this arrangement.
In that case… she will really need survival skills…
Damn it, can she really survive?
"Will others be the same?" Kurokawa Saki asked another question.
[Every first identity will be either the Black or Red side]
Kurokawa Saki: "..."
Alright, she felt a bit better.
At least, she would not be the only person to suffer.
[In addition to the 2 main missions, there will be side missions from time to time and your performance during the mission will be given points that you could use.
There will be 2 phases of the game. In the first phase, all players' task will be to survive until the mainline story. In the second task, the players are encouraged to finish their own set mission]
2 phases?
Kurokawa Saki was stunned and then asked carefully, "How long would it be before the mainline?"
[3 years]
3 years?!
Kurokawa Saki felt that her future is dark and will only get darker with the system arrangement.
How should she survive as an undercover agent for three whole years in that damn Winery?
Kurokawa Saki took a deep breath and asked, "Can I ask for help from the other players?"
[You may, but be warned that there'll be 2 different camps plus an outside camp before the mainline story starts. You will never know what camp other players are]
Kurokawa Saki: "..."
This is a nightmare.
[Please extract your talent, Miss Kurokawa]
The system remained cold and unfeeling as it showed a transparent glass ball image in front of her.
Kurokawa Saki looked at the glass ball quietly and then asked, "You said that the talent will depend on my imagination, do I need to imagine something while holding the glass ball?"
[Yes, please think of the directions for your ability that you wanted.]
Direction?
She just wanted for the Winery to be unable to find out that she's an undercover agent yet she could save the people she has to kill.
After all, between asking her to enter the action group and the intelligent group, she definitely prefers the action group.
Asking someone like her who almost had not communicated with other people face to face for more than a year because she's a shut in is definitely a big challenge.
Kurokawa Saki felt her stomach hurt a bit.
Maybe something like a system?
Or perhaps a death game like this damn game name?
Kurokawa Saki's mind wandered around as she stretched her hand and held the crystal ball. Honestly, she had no idea what kind of talent could suit her needs.
The crystal ball shone and then a notification sound rang out.
[Congratulations! You have obtained Death Game Talent.]
Kurokawa Saki: "..." Excuse me?
…
Death Game Talent
Level: 1
Description: People whom you have killed personally will not die but become a 'ghost' who have to follow your order. There will be an illusion of their death in front of other people. During the ghost state, they could not contact anyone who knew them nor could they be seen by either the Red and Black party unless the host gave them permission.
Upon their death, the target will be imposed a 24 hours movement penalty, in which they couldn't move. This penalty could be directly nullified by the host's order.
The ghost can't harm the host and has to obey the host's order. In this form, they have a lot of restrictions (expand) and has to abide by laws. It's recommended for the host to share the information about their state to them as soon as possible.
Before the mainline starts, the ghost will have to help you for at least 365 days before they could fully return to the living world. Unless the targets are: civilians as they could be seen by specific people whom the player recognizes.
Be careful to avoid them being found as it'll increase your suspicion in the Winery as your target survives when they should have died!
After the mainline starts, the ghost may return to the living world at any time and the host may arrange it. But you may want to have a good explanation for this in case they were seen
Restrictions: Only Winery target, murderers on the run, and officially wanted criminals can this talent be activated.
Limit: 1 target/day
