Chapter 398: 398: Reincarnate Infinitely
Inside the cabin. Voli and Caleb's consciousness became muddled. How to describe it... It's like his spirit had appeared in the kaleidoscope of colors. Caleb and Voli witnessed their body disintegrate and turn into long strings of IO digits. Caleb was fine since his psychological quality had been tempered to the extreme. But it couldn't be said to be the same to Voli who was frightened out of his wits at this moment.
'So this is how the cabin brings our consciousness inside the virtual world. It actually converts to a string of computerized data. This is both awesome and terrifying at the same time!' Caleb couldn't help but feel in awe at the intelligence of whoever invented the cabin.
...
A minute later, Caleb found himself in an unfamiliar landscape with Voli on his shoulder and two classmates he was not close with. However, he still has few interactions with them at the very least ranging from a nod of acknowledgement, a few seconds of glances, etc... In simple terms, Caleb hasn't spoken to them even once. Still, there is a first for everything, right?
"It seems you guys would be my team in this Elite Trial." As a humble man, Caleb took the initiative to converse with them. He gave them a warm smile. "We are already familiar with each other. I hope we can get along and have a harmonious time with each other!"
"Adam, fuck! Lucky!" Ed didn't expect that he would be on the same team as the number 1 of student in their class and the entire school. At this moment, he was filled with joy.
On the other hand, the woman was a bit more reserved. She just gave Caleb and Ed a glance and introduced herself calmly: "We are classmates but there's nothing wrong with introducing ourselves again. As you know already, I'm Mica. Mic for short."
The tone of voice and way of speaking of Mic felt pleasant to both Caleb and Ed's ears.
"Well, your voice is kinda relaxing. It seems you're quite specialized in vocal fields." Caleb smiled.
Hearing this, Mic nodded her head and knew that she had to say some things about herself to quickly integrate into their team and give a good impression. "I'm a singer outside of school life. Also a chore in our church. I do vocal chords training once in a while so maybe it made my voice like this.
"So that's why..." Ed smiled. Then, he saw the eyes of Caleb, and the bear on his shoulder was fixed on him. 'This bear is the one that killed the blue orc from before, right? Not only do we have Adam. We also have such a strong little guy on our team. Where did even Adam get such a strong tamed beast? Maybe his family cultivated it for him?'
"I'm Eddie Garrison. Ed for short. Good guy! I didn't expect you would be on our team."
Ed gave Caleb a wide toothy grin which made Caleb chuckle.
"I like ramen, and playing computer games, and I want to become a Genetic Warrior that can hold the sky in one hand in the future!"
'Fuck! This may be the protagonist of this world!' Caleb suddenly felt a familiar aura from the guy in front of him. The aura of a son that is blessed by heaven.
Of course, he wasn't certain if Ed in front of him was really the protagonist of this world. After Caleb got transmigrated and experienced hundred-plus worlds. He had determined that in every world, there must be a protagonist of an era. Every one of them has quite an outstanding will or resolve or even a certain aura.
Caleb shook his head and decided not to waste brain cells on this matter. Either way, his fusion system, and time slime were far superior to any protagonist's halo.
The son of heaven might be talented but he, Caleb, was not only a transmigrator, but also a cheater!
If talent is better than hard work. And hard work with talent is better than talent. Then, cheating far overshadowed both! Not to mention, he could fuse anything to his own things, to other things, and even to his own body and soul. He also couldn't die in a literal sense even if he wanted to!
How to die when his consciousness was like a virus that constantly infiltrates different computers in the river of time?
Would he, Caleb, ever die in a literal sense?
'Well, maybe if someone has the means to instantly eradicate my soul or consciousness that is bound to the time slime I can still die?'
'However, they need to go through the protection of the time slime first which acts as a defense. Who would be powerful enough to destroy a mysterious creature that governs time like the time slime?'
Even now, the time slime's existence is something that he couldn't fathom. After all, the latter's existence was directly connected to the river of time.
Caleb smiled at Ed and Mic. "Well, since you guys have introduced yourself so well. It would be impolite for me not to..."
"Adam De Vera. My hobbies are hmm..."
'Damn... What are my hobbies again?'
"Playing games, reading books about fantasy such as Legendary Mechanic, Reverend Insanity, Solo Leveling, and Lord of the Mysteries..."
"Then, this little guy on my shoulder is my tamed beast. He is Volibear but you can call him Voli."
Hearing this, Mic who was calm and reserved her eyes lit up. She looked at Caleb as if she found her long-lost companion. "You like to read WebNovels as well!? Actually, I'm also a reader. My top 3 are the Library of Heaven's Path, Sword God in a Magic World, and Vampire System!"
"However, I've read books written by MadScythe recently and I've binged them. Currently, he finished his first book called I Can Upgrade My Talent Infinitely!"
"What!? You're also reading books written by that upstart!? I've read his Lord of the Time: I Can Reincarnate Infinitely... And good guy! It has a good plot about an MC that can reincarnate to another world every time he dies!"
Caleb watched as Ed and Mic discussed with passionate gestures and fiery gazes.
'MadScythe? A new author?'
'What the hell? The MC of that book seems to be in a similar situation as me. Let me read it in the future after all of this... What is its title again? Lord of the Time: I Can Reincarnate Infinitely?'
'Fuck! Reincarnate Infinitely!?' Caleb felt weird. 'Well, it's not time for these things. Thankfully, these two seem to be readers as well. With this, it won't be hard for us to become close and work smoothly which is great.'
