Martial Arts System

Chapter 2: New Life

Dark…

I can only see darkness around me…

Did I die?

I guess I did…

Is this afterlife?

Looks very depressing…

Well…

At least I managed to protect someone, even though not the way I wanted…

Well, it doesn't matter now.

No use to cry over spilled milk.

I was wandering on my own thoughts…

But then… A Flash of light appeared in front of me some distance away.

It was bright as a sun!

But I didn't feel any discomfort.

Actually, I didn't feel anything.

But then a flash of light closed on me and swallowed me.

And after that everything went dark again…

…

Ah, my head… Where am I?

''Argh…''

Huh… Did voice come out of my mouth?

Opening my eyes I saw some ceiling in a random room I have never seen before.

White ceiling, white walls, and comfy bed with posters in my walls with a small desk next to the window.

''I thought I died?''

'Where Am I?' I thought while looking around me.

''Big brother, wake up!'' Suddenly a door opened a small girl with the age of 13 with pigtails and a cute small face with black eyes which seemed almost like they were shining.

''Wake up you dummy!'' the little girl yelled and jumped towards me for a hug.

''Huh?'' I was quite confused while being hugged by the little girl and did I hear her call me by my name?

''What are you doing big brother! School is about to start!'' little girl told me with a giggle and ran downstairs.

''Very energetic.'' was my only thought about the little girl, at first she was clinging to me like a koala, and next she was already running towards her next destination.

I stood up and walked out of my room and walked to the end of the hallway where the bathroom was located, I took a glimpse towards the mirror.

I saw a young man at the age of 15 at least, with black hair and black eyes and handsome looking face with sharp eyebrows.

''Who?'' was my only thought while touching my face.

''Reincarnation?… but that's impossible…''

I look like some strange kid, whom I have never seen before.

*Beep* *Beep*

''What was that?!'' I yelled in panic while almost hitting my head in the mirror, I looked around me with a confusing gaze.

'Am I going crazy?'

[System Activating]

[…]

''What? System?'' I looked in front of me confusingly while looking at the floating text in front of me.

''System… like from those overused genres from novels I used to read few times?''

[System Activating… 1%]

[System Activating… 14%]

[System Activating… 27%]

[System Activating…54%]

[System Activating…99%]

[System Activated! Welcome Host to Martial Arts System!]

''Huh…?! Martial arts system?'' I have never been shocked as much as I am now.

'Am I hallucinating?'

[No Host. You are perfectly healthy]

''Who said that?!'' I yelled in panic while looking behind me, but no one was there.

[I am your System.]

''S-so… this is real?''

[Yes host. You had enough Karma in your last life and you spent your whole life on achieving something noble, so that's why you were gifted with reincarnation and system with it.]

''A-ah I see… this takes some time to get used to…''

''So this really is happening…'' I murmured with disbelief

''Ichiro! Breakfast is ready, hurry up you need to get ready for school!''

I heard someone yelling who was probably my mother.

''Uh… how can I close this system?''

[Think of closing it]

I did what the system told me to do and floating texts disappeared from my sight.

*Whooo*

After taking a deep breath, I walked out of the bathroom, made my way over to the stairs, and started descending them.

I reached the Living Room, I saw a little girl who woke me up sitting on the chair with an energetic expression on her face.

In Kitchen I saw a woman with beautiful long black hair, standing at a height of 170cm and after hearing me walk to the living room, she turned towards me, I saw her face and she definitely is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen.

Black eyes just like mine and little girls with the face of a model.

''Ichiro finally up? You need to get ready for school, so eat quickly.'' My mother told me with a smile and started focusing on cooking again.

''You finally up lazy bones!'' little girl told me with a smug smile on her face and I really wanted to pinch her cheeks right now.

But why… it feels like I am used to doing that.

'System… what happened to the previous owner of this body?' I asked from the system in my mind

[This is a different world which you used to be in. This world is way different and to the question of who was the owner of that body. The answer is you.]

'W-what do you mean?' I asked in my mind

[You have already reincarnated 15 years ago, but you got your last life memories just now.]

[You will get your 15 years of memories shortly]

'A-alright… weird to think so much time has passed and to me it felt only seconds…'

''Brother! Did cat catch your tongue!'' the little girl asked me with a pout on her cute face and I really want to pinch her cheeks.

So without further ado, I pinched her adorable cheeks and they indeed were soft.

''Mouuu… Mom! Brother is bullying me again!'' the little girl said while rubbing her cheeks.

''Alright alright, eat fast, you both need to go to school soon.''

''Ichiro you have been strangely quiet today, what's up?'' The beautiful middle-aged woman asked.

''I-I am fine, just a little sleepy.'' I had to make some excuses until my memories come back.

''You should go sleep earlier, don't play those games all night,'' she told me with a kind look on her face and then sat down to eat her breakfast

After that, I quickly ate my breakfast and it was delicious. She must be a professional cook I am sure of it, but I didn't think much more about it and I went back to my room to get changed to school uniform because I have school it seems…

I entered my room and went to the closet where my school outfit was.

The uniform consisted of a white shirt with some black lines and a blue necktie with white pants, but before I could wear it, I heard loud Beeping noise in my head.

*Beep*

[Memory Restoration Commencing]

I heard the system's voice in my head and floating texts appeared in front of me.

''Aargh!!'' I quickly put my hands in front of my mouth to stop my voice so no one hears me yell because currently, my head feels like it's splitting!

I have been used to pain, but this pain is something I have never felt before, I am not sure if this body is not used to it or pain is just so massive.

I quickly close my door's room and fell down to the floor and grabbed my head while rolling on the floor in pain.

Not sure how long it took, it might have taken a minute or 10 minute's, not sure but it felt like a long time.

But pain finally stopped and I received my memories of the previous 15 years.

I remember everything from my birth to this date.

It seems this world is way different than Japan where I used to live.

This World is called Titan.

I am currently living in the country of Gensa and it seems this country is located in the continent of Arya.

There are 6 Main Continents in this world.

They are Arya, Damio, Lyrio, Poiro, Wyra and Marq

Each continent is almost as big as Europe back in my old world, so this world is definitely way bigger than Earth.

And it seems my name is Kurogami Ichiro like in my last life and my sister is Kurogami Ayako and my mother is Kurogami Azumi and my father is Kurogami Eiji.

The city I live in is called Irio and I go to a public school called the Public School of Irio Middle School Division.

I am currently in grade 9 and after this year I will enter High School.

There were many more memories, but it's hard to know all of it, but the thing which made me most excited is the Martial Arts Tournaments!

It is actually a very popular concept in this world and people with strength are idolized by people.

In public tournaments, there are still rules, but way less than in my previous world.

And what I mean in ''public'' tournament, I also meant that there are some Underworld tournaments, which are for richer people, and their fights have no rules… only people with strength may triumph.

It is also public knowledge about underground tournaments because everyone even with a little bit of wealth supports it. So it can't be removed.

Because people who hold it… are very wealthy and you don't want to be on the opposite side of them.

''Ichiro, hurry up and go to school!''

I heard my mother yelling and it's time for me to leave for school, so without further ado, I quickly put on my necktie and rest of the outfit and rushed to the living room.

I reached the door, I opened it and yelled.

''I am off!''

I yelled and started walking towards school with my little sister who is in grade 7 who entered the same Middle School as I did.

''Big brother let's hurry up!'' my little sister Ayako said in front of me and started hopping while going forwards and even though in reality it is my first day meeting her, with my 15 years of memories, I feel very close to her and since our relationship was very close, I felt even closer to her.

I ran to catch my little sister with a smile and started walking with her towards the school where my in life begins…
