In the Reincarnation Space, basic skills can be purchased directly with plot points. However, advanced mastery and control skills must be obtained from the storyline worlds.
To equip the Black Star handgun, Sasuke needed to upgrade his “Basic Shooting” skill to level 3. Using his thoughts to communicate with the tattoo on his wrist, the space’s prompt quickly echoed in his mind.
[Successfully learned Basic Shooting, consuming 50 plot points.]
[Successfully upgraded skill, Basic Shooting LV1-LV2, consuming 100 plot points.]
[Successfully upgraded skill, Basic Shooting LV2-LV3, consuming 150 plot points.]
Rich shooting knowledge flooded his mind, and gripping the black handgun, a familiar sensation appeared in Sasuke’s heart. It felt like a seasoned driver holding a steering wheel, with every operation instinctively coming to mind.
With the remaining plot points, he upgraded the newly acquired “Healing Technique.”
[Successfully upgraded skill, Healing Technique LV1-LV2, consuming 200 plot points.]
Feeling both regret and anticipation, Sasuke examined the upgraded skill’s effects.
Usage requirement: Minimum consumption of 4 points of mental strength.
“It only reduced the mental consumption by 1 point?!”
While reducing consumption indicated improvement, the cost seemed significant. Sasuke wondered if further upgrades would lower the usage requirements enough to cast the skill freely.
With skill upgrades complete, Sasuke’s combat effectiveness had significantly increased.

Sasuke sighed with barely 400 plot points left, “I thought I could buy some potions, but it looks like I only have enough for bullets.”
He sought specialised supply vendors in the space plaza selling necessary items at relatively cheaper prices.
After a swift transaction, his inventory now included 2000 rounds of ammunition.
One plot point could buy ten handgun bullets at a reasonable price. Considering sustained firepower, Sasuke bought a large supply of ammo.
To compensate for his expenditures, he sold the Titan’s neck flesh at a potion shop, using the remaining plot points to access the training centre.
Sasuke had acquired many new abilities, all of which required extensive experimentation to ensure they wouldn’t fail in actual combat.
“Let’s hope using the skill isn’t too painful.”
The reality, a Street-side Manga Café
Wearing a black trench coat, Sasuke quietly sipped a caramel latte, his eyes filled with an excitement unseen by others.
After training, he discovered an option to return to reality, deciding to explore this so-called reality due to a suspicion in his mind.
His judgment proved correct: this world had none of the classic manga he remembered. The highly popular works in the café were entirely unfamiliar to him.
“Great, now I can rest easy.”
Knowing the plot offered immense advantages, he had feared the appearance of other “competitors.” Now, relieved, even the bitter coffee tasted sweet.
However, a sudden prompt snapped Sasuke out of his reverie.
[You are affected by pufferfish toxin, losing 48 points of life in 3 minutes, with added negative states of difficulty breathing and limb weakness.]
In this seemingly peaceful reality, someone had poisoned him through his coffee!
A sharp pain at the back of his neck indicated a gun aimed at him.
Equipped with the “Black Star,” Sasuke’s perception was an impressive 12 points. Even a weapon pointed at his vicinity triggered intense vigilance.
Bang!
As he left his seat, the café’s glass shattered. During his dive, Sasuke pinpointed the gunshot’s origin with his acute perception.
The second floor of the motel across the street, a seventh window from the left.
“Unknown enemy identity, not the best time to engage,” Sasuke remained calm, accustomed to gunfire and chaos.
Amid the fleeing crowd, he easily blended in, manoeuvring through the streets until he reached a rundown residential area.
Sensing a lingering threat, Sasuke knew he hadn’t shaken off the assassin, but with only 20 seconds left until the toxin wore off, he wasn’t worried.
The pursuer likely waited for him to succumb to the poison, giving him some respite.
“In the future, I need to keep antidotes handy,” Sasuke thought, chewing a savoury steak reluctantly.
Unsure of the assassin’s identity, possibly a fellow Reincarnator, he decided to recover his lost life points.
Space rules prohibited exposing their existence to ordinary people, so using his Titan summon or ODM gear was out of the question.
Choosing this secluded area was to remain discreet; if necessary, he’d use the Titan’s power. If ordinary people witnessed it, he’d be forced to silence them to avoid severe space penalties.
Watching his life points climb, Sasuke’s smile turned sinister. He resembled a butcher eyeing a bleating lamb, filled with cruel amusement.
Elsewhere, a few young men entered the complex, heading straight for Sasuke’s building.
Hearing static in his earpiece, a blonde punk grinned, “Target confirmed, commencing final cleanup.”
Turning to his companions, he ordered, “Find number seven, even if it’s just a corpse.”
“Yes!”
“Be cautious; he’s a superhuman like us.”
