"So, how was your day today, Rian?" he asked himself in a deep, authoritative voice.
"Haha..." Rian laughed bitterly, as he shook his head slowly, closing his eyes for a moment, as if he was carrying the weight of the world.
"Not very well," he replied in a normal voice, opening his eyes slowly. "I just died... from being hit by a truck. Right in the face!"
Rian placed his left hand on his chest, then let out a long breath. "But... I'm very grateful that my face is fine."
"Thank goodness then, Rian," she continued in a heavy voice again, like a personal psychologist. "But... have you forgiven the truck driver?"
"Of course," Rian replied quickly in a light tone. "I'm a forgiving, loving, diligent saver, and... yes, of course, very handsome."
"Oh, you're too kind, Rian." said Rian in a heavy voice.
"Ah no, no..." Rian looked at the pocket mirror in his right hand with a half smile. "I'm just being honest."
And that was that... Rian continued talking to himself, trapped in a narcissistic conversation for about twelve minutes.
Rian, now lost in his own good looks, was like watching a romantic soap opera... starring him... and about him.
Until finally Rian came to his senses with a mumble, "Alright... even though it's hard, see you again, Rian. And take good care of your face." she said again with a heavy voice.
Rian nodded slowly, smiled slightly, and replied sincerely, "That's for sure!"
After that, Rian kept the small mirror in his shirt pocket with great care, as if it was the most precious treasure in the world, more precious than weapons, power, or even... world peace.
Rian turned his attention back to the status Hologram Screen before him.
In his mind, Rian tried to recall vague information about Six Eyes (Rikugan), a rare privilege that had only been passed down in the Gojo Clan bloodline.
Six Eyes was not a cursed technique that needed to be activated. It is innate, a rare gift that only appears once every few hundred years, and no two bearers have ever lived at the same time.
This eye provides visual perception beyond logic. The user is able to see with extraordinary acuity, breaking through ordinary human limits, like a high-definition infrared camera that remains active even when the eyes are closed.
Objects from several kilometers away can be clearly seen, and even the smallest figures and shapes can be distinguished perfectly.
Not just seeing, but understanding: energy flows- even the microscopic structure of a technique or material.
In fact, Six Eyes allows its users to observe large areas at a glance: tracking movements, energies, and anomalies with amazing efficiency.
Beyond vision, these eyes can also manipulate cursed energy with extreme precision down to the atomic level.
With such fine control, users can operate complex techniques like Limitless with ease. The process of energy flow and conversion becomes extremely efficient, with almost no loss.
Thanks to this, the consumption of cursed energy was minimal, almost zero. For Six Eyes users, running out of energy was something that was impossible under normal conditions.
Interestingly, these eyes did not rely on cursed energy to function.
Even when Satoru Gojo's cursed energy was completely sealed in the Prison Realm, his Six Eyes continued to work as usual.
However, keeping these eyes open for long periods can cause significant fatigue. To alleviate the burden, users usually cover their eyes with covers such as cloth, thick bandages, or thick sunglasses.
This is not only to rest the eyesight, but also to mentally guard against the constant flood of information coming through the Six Eyes.
With all that information, Rian concluded one thing: if his Six Eyes (Rikugan) were indeed the same as Gojo Satoru's, but with the Heavenly Restriction adjustment that was not bound by the laws of Cursed Energy, then he was truly lucky.
"Alright... now it's time for this handsome guy to figure out how to maximize his 990 System Points and 5 Attribute Points before time runs out," Rian muttered while staring at the holographic screen in front of him.
After thinking for a moment, he began to allocate the attribute points: 2 points for STR and 3 points for AGI.
This decision was quite logical. If the INT attribute was related to special energies such as Cursed Energy, which technically could only be accessed by Jujutsu Mages.
However, for Rian who didn't have it because he was born without any Cursed energy, it was clear that he wouldn't get any benefit from increasing INT.
Increasing INT, for Rian, is like walking in the sun without applying sunscreen: pointless and risking getting burnt.

Finished allocating attribute points, Rian immediately opened the System Store catalog.
As a reminder, equipment ratings were divided into five tiers: Black, Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum.
After some time browsing the catalog, Rian finally made some important decisions.
Rather than having no weapon at all, Rian bought an unranked bayonet blade for 100 System Points, at least enough to survive if the situation was urgent.
Rian also bought a Health Potion for 500 System Points, as an anticipatory measure. To store his belongings, a simple waist bag for 10 System Points was also purchased.
Most importantly, Rian didn't forget to buy 20 System Points worth of ultra-dark lensed glasses and put them on immediately, a precautionary measure to prevent his brain from overheating due to the flood of information from Six Eyes.
With all those purchases, Rian spent a total of 630 System Points, leaving 370 Points remaining.
"Sometimes... this handsome guy has to think really hard," sighed Rian, dramatically, while staring at the screen with a weary gaze. "At this rate, the skin on this face might wrinkle prematurely."
Time passed without notice.
Just as Rian was about to return to admiring his reflection in the small mirror in his shirt pocket, the system sound echoed in his mind.
The Reincarnation Room's control system finally moved, signaling that the next stage of Rian's journey was about to begin.
Ding!

Looking at the list of missions and tasks to be completed, Rian stood up and flipped the table in front of him.
"What the hell!? This handsome man has to carry out the first mission in a world full of conflicts, parasites, viruses, and mutations!?"
The Six Eyes effect activated immediately: inside Rian's head, one second outside felt like one minute inside. His brain was racing, processing and summarizing information from the three main missions he had to carry out.
Suddenly, however, Rian's head was struck by a brutal migraine storm. It felt as if he had been hit by a blunt object. He held his head with both hands and curled up slightly, his body shaking with pain.
In the next second, Rian's body began to fade, the blue grains of light scattered like desert sand blown by the wind, until finally disappearing without a trace.
The room was silent again, as if there had never been anyone there in the first place.
***
Rian's figure suddenly appeared out of thin air near a large shady tree. The leaves were wet with morning dew, and the ground beneath his feet was damp, almost muddy.
With a slight grimace on his face, his right hand resting on the rough trunk of the tree, while his left hand pressed against his temple, Rian endured a pulse of biting pain.
***
"Ugh... Why does this handsome man have to suffer from migraines!?" he complained dramatically, his breathing heavy. "This world is so cruel!"
A few moments passed, and like a receding tide, the pain subsided. At the same time, his Six Eyes began to absorb ambient information, pulsed softly, then opened wide to the world around him.
Rian fell silent.
Everything was recorded very clearly by Six Eyes.
This time felt different, because it was no longer in a closed space. In this open space, the incoming information was much wider and wilder.
He caught the delicate flutter of a small butterfly in the distance, the drops of water falling slowly from the tip of a leaf, to the faint movement of insects wriggling beneath the surface of the ground.
Everything felt alive, as if the world was whispering every detail directly into Rian's head.
Rian could even feel all kinds of energy, such as air temperature, oxygen density, sunlight and barely detectable pressure differences.
Everything felt as if the world had suddenly become ultra-high resolution.
If Rian hadn't been wearing his ultra-dark lensed glasses from the start, his brain would have collapsed from being flooded with information from all directions.
Naturally, this was the first time Rian had really let Six Eyes out in nature, where every little detail became data sent directly into his mind without pause.
