So What If My Spirit Form Is the Grim Reaper?

My new novel, "I’m Just an Ordinary Person, So Why Did I Contract an Aberration?", is now up! If you’re interested, come check it out in my author’s column~ * Hill was transported to the interstellar era because of a System malfunction. He went from being the Grim Reaper to a pitiful human: his mother died of an illness, his scummy father took his inheritance and doted on his mistress and younger brother, treating Hill like he didn’t exist. Since Hill couldn’t awaken a spirit, he wound up at a lousy school where his classmates bullied him. But none of that was the problem. The problem was that his mission count had gone from 10 to 100,000! Hill: "..." Luckily, he learned that this world was under attack by alien beasts. There were so many of them that they counted toward his mission total, too. But there was a catch: without a spirit, he couldn’t do anything. How long would an intern Grim Reaper like him have to keep killing them on his own? Hill thought it over, then simply used his true form as his spirit. Everyone was stunned to discover that useless Hill had awakened a spirit! But his spirit was bizarre: only about the size of a palm, pitch-black, wearing a hood that revealed nothing but a pair of round, glowing eyes, and carrying a strange-looking weapon. At first, when Hill and his strange spirit appeared at the Interstellar League tournament, everyone thought: What? Spirits can carry weapons now? And it’s so weak they can’t even measure its rank? He still dares to compete? What kind of useless idiot has no idea how bad he is? Later, Hill and his strange spirit tore through the competition, and the weapon became every contestant’s nightmare. Everyone: Damn! What level of useless am I?! (Drops to their knees) With combat skills that strong, Hill was a perfect candidate for the First Military Academy! The principal immediately sent him an admission letter. But then the Imperial Research Institute butted in, personally visiting Hill to convince him to attend its affiliated school. He’d be able to join the Institute as soon as he graduated! Military Academy principal: "?? What are you butting in for?!" Research Institute director: "He can treat mental contamination! We can’t let him waste his talent at military school!!!" Onlookers: "Holy crap??? What kind of monster is this?!" Hill: "I’m the Grim Reaper~" ** Hill met a human with striking features and an extraordinary air. Even his soul was golden! Hill hurried over and politely asked, "Hello! You look like your time is almost up. May I reap your soul? I’m very gentle~" A certain marshal, who thought he could hang on a little longer: "?" A marshal who thinks he can hang on a little longer, gong * a life-saving, food-loving, looks-obsessed Grim Reaper, shou Coming soon: "I’m Just a Passerby, So Why Did I Contract an Aberration?" The blurb is below. Please add it to your favorites! Jiang Huai had always been a firm materialist, until his class went on a graduation trip to a resort villa. By day, the resort was packed with people and buzzing with activity. But at midnight, the peaceful facade shattered. People who had been perfectly normal during the day shed their human skin and became monsters covered in eerie fish scales, with mouths and eyes growing all over their bodies. Jiang Huai felt like he might have died a little. He discovered that monsters seemed inexplicably attracted to him. He was either bumping into one around a corner or getting attacked at close range, and he couldn’t shake them no matter what he tried. Just as he was about to be killed by a monster, a little ball of fluff suddenly opened its enormous abyssal maw and swallowed it whole. Jiang Huai: "..." It looks familiar, but I’m not sure. Better take another look. The little ball of fluff returned to its original form. It was adorable, pitch-black all over, its fur waving as if blown by the wind. It looked incredibly soft, but... Help! The plush keychain I picked up by the roadside came to life!!! Afterward, Jiang Huai learned the truth about the world. It turned out that a long time ago, several meteorites had fallen from the sky, shrouded in mysterious radiance. Shockingly, every kind of living thing exposed to that radiance could mutate. Before humans could study them, the meteorites mysteriously disappeared, but the mutated monsters kept growing in number. So the Abnormal Affairs Processing Center was established. Over time, people discovered that after hunting those monsters, they could awaken special abilities by fusing their crystal cores with their own bodies. But everyone knew that aberrations couldn’t be contracted. Jiang Huai slowly looked down at the fluffy keychain, which was supposedly an aberration and which he had already contracted. "..." Huh? This seems just a tiny bit unreasonable. Jiang Huai landed a government job, but because he was so unusual, the authorities assigned him a partner. Officially, it was for his protection; in reality, it was to keep an eye on him. In principle, he was against it. But his partner had broad shoulders, a narrow waist, stood 1.9 meters tall, and had taut muscles that looked explosively powerful. He made Jiang Huai feel completely safe, and he was almost unfairly handsome. Jiang Huai’s mind went blank. "Big brother, wanna hook up?" The man: "?" He politely declined. "Thanks, but no." Later... Trapped in the man’s arms with no way to escape, Jiang Huai snapped in embarrassment. "Didn't you say you weren't interested?" The man kissed his brow and eyes. "I was lying." Content notes: 1. Please don’t offer unsolicited writing advice. This is a mindless feel-good power fantasy, and the protagonist is the best. 2. This is an unconventional Guide and Sentinel setting. There are only spirits; everything else is made up by the author. The worldbuilding is entirely my own. 3. If you don’t like it, please leave quietly. A little kindness goes a long way. 4. I revise the story from time to time, so if something seems off, I’ve probably just edited it. 5. The blurb has been revised, but the core concept is unchanged. 6. Darlings!
