What is a god?
I had never thought deeply about it until now, but I could definitely tell that something in front of me was a god.
It had the shape of a human, but its body was made of the universe, a strange being.
Just looking at it was overwhelming and oppressive, if this isn't a god, then what is?
"Oh, you've opened your eyes. I've waited quite a long time."
And then it speaks in an unnecessarily familiar tone! As if it's talking to a close friend!
"There's a lot I want to say, but it would be meaningless to you now. I'll only say what's necessary."
The god, who had no face, smiled.
No, it has no eyes or mouth, so how did I notice it was smiling? What? What's going on?
"I've created a world, would you like to be reincarnated there?"
Reincarnation...? Is this some kind of reincarnation genre?
Wasn't that trend over? It's a bit outdated, isn't it?!
"Of course, you have the option not to accept my offer, but in that case..."
The god moved its hand to draw a rectangle, and that rectangle emitted a bizarre light, showing a different scene.
"Your original body is already dead."
What?
"Sudden cardiac arrest. Died from myocardial infarction while sleeping, so there was nothing you could do."
I'm dead...?
Without having truly achieved anything, just as I was starting to step into society...?
"So, what will you do? Will you accept my offer?"
If I'm already dead... I have no choice but to accept. Damn it...
"Yes. You've made a good choice. I've prepared the best body for you. You'll definitely like it."
But why is this god making me such an offer? Why me? Does it have a purpose?
"Purpose? There's none. I just wish for you to live a joyful and happy life."
Saying that, the god thought for a moment and then added,
"But if I just send you off without anything, you might not feel motivated... Alright! I'll give you one condition."
Condition?
"If you achieve something in that world that satisfies you, I'll grant you one wish."
A wish?
"Anything you desire, I'll only grant one. If you wish to return to your original world, I'll make it happen."
Return to my original world...?
"But, I'll be strict in judging. You have to be truly satisfied, from the bottom of your heart, thinking nothing could be better. It won't be easy."
After saying that, the god quietly clapped its hands, and suddenly the ground beneath my feet gave way.
"Have a good journey!"
Falling into a deep abyss, my soul began to flow somewhere, and in the endless darkness surrounding me, I lost consciousness.

[The creator god of this world. Opinions vary on why this nameless god created the world, but no facts have been revealed.
The kingdom's Guardian Dragon, known as the first creation and the first intelligent being, also did not know the god's intentions. Essentially, no one in this world knows the creator god's intentions.
Perhaps, the creator god wished for a world where its creations could live as they please.

I once read a phrase in a book.
[A bird struggles to break out of the egg. The egg is the bird's world. Anyone who wishes to be born must destroy a world.]
It was definitely... Demian, wasn't it? There was more to the phrase, but that's not important right now.
│
│First ability is the power of creation.
│You'll be able to create anything you want!
│
│The world itself is like your toy.
│I'll imprint how to use the ability in your mind.
│
│Fill this world with life you create!
│But to create life, you need to know a lot.
│
│So, the second bonus is the ability to
│look into information from other worlds.
│
│The internet, was it? There was something incredible about it, you know.
│Of course, you being from that world should know well.
│
│I think it will definitely help you.
│
│Lastly, I'll give you the ability to manipulate time.
│
│Even if your lifespan is infinite,
│If you live day by day,
│Even you will likely become exhausted.
│
│Stopping time, accelerating it, or reversing it can be
│a bit risky, so I'll put some restrictions on its use.
│
│In that world, you can become an omnipotent being.
│
│By the way, this was made as a messenger for gods.
│
│Named GodTalk!
│For now, it's just you and me using it.
│
│Maybe someday, if there are gods in that world, they'll use it?
│
│If you have any questions, ask through this messenger.
│I'll answer as kindly as possible.

What is this.
At that moment, a massive something begins to crawl into my mind.
The first bonus. The power of a god. The power to create. The power to create life. All those methods of using power fill my mind.
Following that, knowledge related to the second bonus flows into my mind, and I use the ability without hesitation.
As I use the ability, a square window appears in front of me. It takes the familiar form of a web browser.
Seeing the appearance of the most famous search engine from the previous world, I am at a loss for words.
This is... the reincarnation bonus...?
