Chapter 2: Please just walk

After what felt like a free fall, Lake's feet touched the ground but he still couldn't see anything. "Yep, my eyes are closed, that was a little discombobulating." Lake had his eyes open when he was just a soul but the body he was shoved into had its eyes closed. With his eyes locked and loaded, he felt like breaking them in.

Lake started with the scenery; he was on a path between two fields of what seemed to be corn. He also noticed the sky was extremely blue he had not lived in a place with nice weather back on earth, so he couldn't really tell if it was actually more blue but it was making him realize he was actually somewhere different almost like he was an explorer, "To boldly go somewhere new; Is that how it goes?"

Lake felt he had heard someone say that in the past. He had never been a big fan of watching Tv so he wasn't too sure, but it wasn't like there was anyone here who could criticize him for being wrong. Then Lake looked down to inspect himself to see all he had was shorts and they didn't even have any pockets. "If you're only wearing shorts, and the shorts have no pockets, are they actually underwear?"

Lake guessed it was a mystery and would stay that way. "No wait, they can only be underwear if there's something over them." Lake thought this had been a fruitful few seconds. Not only had he made a riddle he had solved it; also you had to factor in fruit was a brand of underwear. It was almost two funny.

"Ok let's get serious, where am I?" <Ding>[ New quest: Open status screen] " I hope that ding is a one time thing. It scared me." Lake had already died from a heart attack once, and he didn't want it to happen again. People said you only had to worry if you're over 40, but he was an example of someone who always died from Heart attacks while not even close to 40. " Ok what does this say? Um, Open status screen."

Lake actually already knew what it said. He was trying to be slick, and finish the mission like it was an accident but it hadn't worked, But it was fine he had done it in a way that people couldn't tell he failed, and that was the true essence of being really cool.

In the past the reason he had never watched tv was because he preferred books and while he had only read a couple with reincarnation plots, he knew how he should be acting, how he was supposed to fall assbackwards into success, and make everything look easy but it didn't seem like a clueless approach was going to work this time. Switching to be a more purposeful kind of guy, Lake said. " Status."

[ Quest complete ] [ New quest: Reach a town] Lake realized the only way to do the current mission was on purpose so he started right away. Lake had spun a few times earlier when he was taking in the scenery so he wasn't too sure which direction he should go. " Let's do heads or tails."

After saying this Lake remembered he didn't have a coin and was a bit sad because even though he had never been rich in his previous life he usually kept a coin on him for situations like this; well maybe he had been rich the doctor asked him about insurance money before he died, Lake wondered what kind of fortune he had given to his cousin "I hope it was a lot." Rereading the quest, Lake noticed it said a town, not the town, and that probably meant he could go either direction.

"There's probably a small village one way and a bigger town the other." Thinking back to flipping a coin, Lake couldn't help but feel a choice like this had to be left to fate. After a few seconds Lake had an idea he closed his eyes and started to spin, after getting himself real dizzy he opened his eyes. " This is the right choice."

When Lake opened his eyes he had been facing the corn. While Lake had never read a reincarnation novel about farming he knew a lot of protagonists chose the farming profession so after making his choice, Lake walked directly into the field and took an ear of corn off a plant. [New job acquired: Thief]

This was true fate after 3 steps he had already fulfilled his divine purpose. Laka said he was supposed to be the best thief, good enough to steal from the gods. And here he was the first job he obtained was thief, and the perfect crime no one would know he took corn. Wanting to know if the job was automatically equipped, Lake looked back at the status screen.

Now that his destiny with this field was out of the way, Lake took his corn and just chose a direction to go and started walking; He never really needed to flip a coin to decide, he didn't know where he was so the choice was already random.Foll𝑜ow current novÊls on nov3lb((in).(com)
