Prologue

  Nangou Haruya, an 18 year old male, has been single for as long as he has been alive. Despite this, he has already spent one year as a and two years as a freeter.

  And now, Haruya is dead...

  No, no, don't misuand or panic. If this were a novel, Haruya would probably be fag the usual transmigration/reination plht now.

  However, that's not the case...

  Since childhood, Haruya has been pgued by misfortune, frequently getting caught up in dangerous situations.

  For example; once, he got caught in a robbery while withdrawing money... shot to death.

  Aime, he was caught in an explosion while shopping... blown to pieces.

  Aime, he was somehow caught up in a gang fight while traveling... hacked to death.

  On one occasio lost at a ivention and somehow ended up being locked in a room with no way to call for help... starved to death.

  To put it simply, if you were to tally up all his deaths since childhood, he's probably died over a huimes. It's absolutely ridiculous.

  While some of these deaths were due to Haruya deliberately seeking trouble; like provoking a gang leader or peeping at a female police officer while she was bathing, most of them were caused by sheer bad lubsp;

  Clearly, if these things had happeo anyone else, they might have long since passed on to the life. No, actually, they definitely would have.

  However, unfortunately... or rather unbelievably, Haruya has ruly died...

  << Checkpoint >>

  In the text of a Visual his is a feature that allows you to Save your progress and Reload it ter to revisit previous parts of the story.

  At some point in the past, this feature suddenly appeared in Haruya's mind... and much like the meics of a Visual Novel, he could Save his progress.

  Thanks to this, whenever he died, he could select a Saved point in his mind and Reload it, effectively rewinding time.

  This ability is indeed enviable, but having to experiehe excruciating pain of death every siime is something no one would willingly endure, right?

  Shot, poisoned, drowned, hacked, run over... if Haruya ever wao write a book titled 'A Thousand Ways to Die', he could perfectly capture the protagonist's thoughts because, well, that protagonist would be himself...

  So, Haruya has grown aced to death, though not numb to it. It's more like a feeling of "Ah, I died again."

  Some people say that once you get used to death, you bee a walking corpse. Haruya is here to refute that cim.

  It's precisely because of this ability that Haruya has been able to tinuously draw(win) rare figurines.

  As for the method... yes, it's simply jumping off a rooftop or something simir when he fails to get the prize he wants, and then reloading to an earlier Saved Checkpoint.

  No matter what, the current Haruya is probably the human with the most deaths under his belt.

  But is someone like him even sidered human anymore?

  P this question, Haruya looked at the several men in front of him, each holding a machete. They had already backed him to the edge of a cliff.

  A robbery...

  This was the 56th robbery Haruya had experienced.

  "Hey! Hand over everything you've got! If you do, we'll let you go!" one of the men 'kindly' offered.

  "I refuse," Haruya immediately shot down the 'kind' offer and tinued saying, "These are super limited-edition figurines and 'Love Live!' stickers. They're worth more thaimes the usual price! 't you just go rob that couple over there?!" he said pointing at a distanbsp;

  "What the hell, you're such a scumbag. But since you said that, your stuff must be worth a lht?! Let's go!"

  Damn it, Haruya wasn't a scumbag. It's just that, one individual in the supposed couple riding by on bicycles olice officer, and they had a gun...

  "Wait, if you let me go, I'll give you this student figurihat take off her clothes. How about that?" bargained Haruya.

  "What the hell are you talking about? Just grab his stuff!" ordered the leader of the thugs.

  "You bastards! You know what? I'll just go ahead and jump down myself!" Said Haruya as he suddenly leaped off the cliff behind him, stunning the robbers...

  At the same time, he pondered which Checkpoint would be the most appropriate to Reload in order to avoid this death fg ime...

  After all, Reloading a Checkpoint from too far back would require him to attempt winning and purchasing all his items all ain, so he had to carefully manage his existing checkpoints.

  Though, from an outsider's perspective, one might think he could fight the enemies and figure out their patterns through repeated deaths, right?

  But Haruya wasn't that stupid. That would mean dying unknown number of times! Who would want to get hacked by machetes like that?

  'This time, I'll reload the save from when I was chatting with the maid. I'd already bought my stuff by then...'

  As Haruya thought this, he drowned in the sea...

  However, when he opened his eyes, he didn't see the expected maid café. Instead, he found himself in a vast, empty void.

  [Finally, someone has made it to my Intrinsiain. Child of humanity, wele to the Infinite Void...]

  "Wait, wait, isn't there some kind of mistake here? I shouldn't be here, right? Also, the 'Infinite Void'? That sounds vaguely familiar..."

  [Enough with the small talk. As the first human to arrive here, I'll give you a special service.]

  "The first? So, no humans have e to your... 'Intrinsiain' before?"

  [That's right. There's more tharinsiain ience, each having its own Supreme Deity... and all the capable ones have already recruited humans. Even if I pin to the higher-ups of the 'Supreme Deities Association', they just say, 'We'll ha.' ]

  "...These 'Supreme Deities' are surprisingly humane..." Haruya reasoned.

  It seems that no matter where you go, the lower ranks don't have it easy.

  [Let's not dwell on such depressing matters. It's been hundreds of years since I st spoke to ahe st time was when I sneaked into another Supreme Deity's Domain to chat with someone, but I ended up cutting him up...]

  The unfortunate Supreme Deity, who had been seemingly unemployed for so long, tinued...

  [The special service I'm you is the ability to choose the world you want to go to. All you have to do is just plete the corresponding tasks there, and yood to go.]

  "I see... But I refuse. I choose to return to my inal world instead?"

  As Haruya spoke, he tried to activate his Checkpoint Ability, but it seemed unusable here.

  [It's no use. Your abnormal ability also es from my Intrinsiain. It's likely that you came into tact with my Domain's system when you died the first time. If you don't accept my special service, I'll just cut off your little pp...]

  "..."

  What kind of threat is that?

  [This is already a huge cession. It'll definitely be fun, so go ahead and accept, human... ]

  "Even if you say that..."

  Haruya had no iion of staying here and having his little pp cut off by this Supreme Deity. His Checkpoint Ability wasn't w either...

  In short, Haruya had only one choice: to accept the Supreme Deity's special service.

  For Haruya, who already possessed a Checkpoint Ability/System, the existence of a Supreme Deity and their subsequent Intrinsiain was not particurly strange.

  In that case...

  Haruya set aside the items in his possession and spoke, "Then I'll make my choice..."

  [Alright, alright, what do you need?]

  "Don't make it sound like a sales pitch, Supreme Deity-san. The first world I want to go to is... ~No Game No Life~ "

  No matter what, the beast-eared girls in that world are absolutely adorable!!!

  ...

  {T/N: There were a lot of unclear points iera between Haruya and the Supreme Deity, so I tried my best to cover them up by ging and adding a few names and cepts here and there...

  So what are your thoughts? Especially those of you who have read the Google Transted version...}
