Twin Reincarnation: Epics Of The Worldline

[El's POV: ]

A sudden blinding light illuminated the room, and a strange voice different from the normal system voice reverberated in my mind.

[ *Worldline had detected abnormal signs of activity.* ]

This one was a male robotic voice, and it was the closest of the guard robots from my previous world.

[ *Possibility of new higher grade skill is detected.* ]

[< Starting the scan of workplace belonging to ID: Auriel. >]

I felt a weird sensation and my consciousness started fading as I was thrown outside of my workplace.

Startled by the intense sensation of being thrown out, I gasped and instinctively grabbed the hand that was resting on my forehead.

"Shhh. It's ok. You did well and everything is ok..." He reassured me, caressing my sweat-drenched forehead.

I knew I was ok, but I wasn't fine at all.

Just the thought of your mental body being thrown away was something that was a little scary in itself.

I knew something like this was going to happen but to think it would be this sudden...

Like hell, system! Gimme some time to think before you just throw me out of my private place!

"Haa… thanks."

Looking at my darling brother, I closed my eyes.

This lap was a warm place and somewhere I felt the most comfortable.

Be it that technologically advanced world or this one with mostly medieval things…

It was always a distinct feeling when I set on this lap with this warm, caring, and safe hand on my forehead.

"Looks like we will hit a jackpot this time," I hoped as we waited for the system message to pop up.

"You're ok and that's all that matters to me." He massaged my head with his small hands and released a small sigh of relief.

It was a relaxing feeling, and we stayed like that until the status window popped up.

[Ding!]

And it was here.

The exciting thing was now before us.

[<Voice of the world> has received a special announcement from the worldline for area #321CF. Asking for permission of announcement.]

"Declined," I answered without hesitation.

Announcing this achievement would be the same as setting a target on our backs.

And we weren't strong enough to handle any minor demons, let alone those higher beings observing this part of the Worldline.

[Decline accepted.]

Then the status window changed from blue to a shiny gold.

[< An achievement has been accomplished for the first time in the specific part of the Worldline. >]

A low melodious hymn rang in our room, and a shining golden box started materializing before our eyes.

"Congratulations El! You received a golden box~." He patted my head and asked me to stand up.

"Acceptable." With a brief reply and a soft kiss on his gentle hand, I stood up.

We had just received a golden box that was two ranks higher than the normal wooden box. It was good, but the things we get from inside it would be the main rewards.

[Congratulations! You have accomplished a special achievement.]

[A skill of [Grade-4] has been created by a normal human for the first time!]

[As the base reward for higher achievement of creating a celestial skill, <First Authority> has been granted.]

[Congratulations! You are the first mortal to achieve something like this in worldline #321CF.]

[Open announcement permission had been declined. Moving to secondary reward calculation.]

Looking at his wide-open, cute crystal blue eyes, I kissed his cheeks.

"Thank you~." shouting cheerfully over this new wonderful reward, I looked at the loading screen.

Gaining authority within this worldline was something that happened very rarely.

The creation of my skill was something on the level of receiving this thing called <Authority>.

It was something like system authority rights and at the end of the day; it was useless until a certain amount was gathered.

There will be very few chances to earn these <Authority> and we welcomed every extra one with open arms.

I was the first one to gain an authority, but I knew this cute little boy beside me was not that far away from me.

He will also receive something like me when he combines the skills that he created during all this time.

But he will need a bit more time to finish his fifth skill.

He will be the first to perfectly combine five [Grade-2] skills into something like a [Grade-3.5] skill without restrictions like mine.

Something that would be more powerful than normal skills and something that would be a bit weaker than the [Grade-4] skills that existed here.

It would be a special occasion and the system will have no choice but to grant the first authority to him too.

Well, that still didn't change the fact that I was the first one to gain this authority.

"Gift?" He asked with a defeated look and sighed in happiness.

There was a wide grin on my face, and we could read each other's thoughts.

Walking up to the box, I handed it to him.

"You're lucky." Saying that, I returned to the unnecessary system messages from the beings of absolute purity and pure evil.

The sudden appearance of a golden box astonished them and… we had no interest in those bastards and bitches.

Skill information will take a bit longer than expected according to the notification, so there was no need to worry about this thing.

Looking back, I nodded at him, and he understood what I meant and did the same. My lovely brother was happy to receive our first golden box.

A bright yellow light escaped the box as soon as he opened it and… we heard new messages.

[You have received: 9000 Oz.]

[You have received: 3 free roulette scrolls.]

[You have received: 60 Skill points.]

"Holy shit... is this for real?!" His voice contained utter disbelief as he looked at the three small scrolls inside the box.

I knew this little boy was luckier than me. But… receiving something like this was surprising for me, too. Far more than receiving the box itself.

I looked at his shining eyes and smirked warmly.

"You get two. My generous gift in exchange for a wish from you." An innocent smile spread out on my face as I said that. And I knew a strange shiver must have run down his spine because of that.

It was amazing, but somehow the ever-stingy worldline gifted us three artifact-granting tickets.

The artifact was something that increased stats and sometimes even held some [Skills]. Yes, like the special equipment of any fantasy game.

These things were rare and making them was something only a highly proficient craftsman could do.

And, in this world, those craftsmen were mostly dwarves.

Dwarven craftsmanship was something that even the worldline acknowledged.

And these roulette scrolls summoned a gacha that would spin a wheel of rewards.

The best thing about this function was that it was a guaranteed win wheel.

You will mostly get a <G> ranked artifact and even that increased stats by at least 5 to 10 points.

Artifacts were rare and creating even a <B> rank or above thing was impossible for normal craftsmen.

It would require <Masters>, <Grandmaster>, or for things that were <S> rank, at least <Transcendent> ranked craftsmen were a must.

And, as the one that played this game more than me, he knew some tricks that would grant something special to him… to us.

As for me, I was going to use a system bug to earn even more useful rewards than now in the future with my remaining one.

"A wish for two gacha scrolls is too generous of you, my lady~. It would be my honor to accept this offer."

Though he was smiling, giving me a wish that I can use anytime and anywhere and anyhow was something that spread cold sweat on his forehead.

These scrolls weren't something you can get without accomplishing something like I did, or in rare cases, by clearing a dungeon.

He just gave me a wish and this might put him in a difficult situation.

There was only one way to decline a wish, and that was by using a wish you have against the other person. So, for our cute eternal game, having more was always the best.

Smiling at him happily, I handed him two small golden scrolls.

His hands were shaking as the 'things' I asked were anything but normal. But the offer was naturally too good to refuse.

I was enjoying his red face when I heard the familiar sound.

[Ding!]

It was finally finished, so… with a new system pop-up, my new skill window opened before my eyes.
