## Chapter 1: The End of an Ordinary Street
I looked toward the end of the street and saw my destination.
It wasn't anything special—just another school building. Concrete walls, iron gates, students laughing like tomorrow was guaranteed. Ray Urami East Junior High. The place was well taken care of. Clean. Orderly.
Overall, it was a good school.
At least, that's what I thought.
Life had always been like that for me—normal on the surface, quietly suffocating underneath. No tragic childhood. No destined greatness. Just a guy who read too many light novels, watched too much anime, and wondered what it would be like to live in a world where effort actually mattered.
I took one step forward.
And then—
A horn blared.
Light.
Impact.
The world flipped.
And everything went dark.

## Interlude: The Space Between Worlds
When I opened my eyes again, there was no pain.
No body, either.
I floated in a vast white space that felt less like a room and more like a thought. Before I could panic, a calm, genderless voice echoed through existence itself.
"Your life has ended due to an unavoidable accident."
Ah.
Truck-kun, you absolute professional.
"You will be reincarnated into another world. As compensation, you are granted **six wishes**."
Now *that* got my attention.
I steadied my thoughts. If this was really happening, then I wasn't going to waste it.
"However," the voice continued, "there are limitations."
Figures.
"You may choose **only two Ultimate Skills**. The remaining **four wishes** may be used to obtain **Unique Skills** or special conditions."
Perfect.
I already knew exactly what I wanted.

## The Wishes
I took a breath—if you could call it that—and spoke.
### **Ultimate Skill #1**
**Raphael, Lord of Wisdom**
A skill that governs knowledge, analysis, optimization, and guidance.
A god-tier advisor.
If I was going to survive any world, this was non-negotiable.
"Confirmed."
Good.
### **Ultimate Skill #2**
**Beelzebuth, Lord of Gluttony** *(Modified)*
Not for mindless consumption—but for **absorption, storage, analysis, and conversion of magic, skills, and attributes**.
If Black Clover ran on mana, then this skill would make me a walking anomaly.
"Confirmed."
I smiled.
Now for the remaining four.
---
### **Unique Skill #1**
**Magic Essence Adaptation**
Allows my soul and body to naturally adapt to any magic system, including mana-based worlds like Black Clover, without rejection or overload.
No backlash. No incompatibility.
"Accepted."
---
### **Unique Skill #2**
**Grimoire Sovereignty**
Guarantees the manifestation of a **unique grimoire**, unrestricted by standard magical affinities.
Not four-leaf.
Not five-leaf.
Something else entirely.
"Accepted."
---
### **Unique Skill #3**
**Limit Breaker (Dormant)**
Allows growth beyond racial, magical, and natural limits through combat, analysis, and experience.
Slow at first.
Terrifying later.
"Accepted."
---
### **Unique Skill #4**
**Existence Concealment**
Prevents gods, devils, and fate-aligned entities from immediately perceiving my abnormality.
Because being hunted at birth sounded inconvenient.
"Accepted."
---
## Final Destination
"One final condition remains," the voice said.
"The world of reincarnation?"
I didn't hesitate.
"**Black Clover.**"
A world of magic, nobles, discrimination, devils, and impossible dreams.
A world where even someone born with nothing could stand at the top—
If they were insane enough to try.
There was a pause.
Then:
"Reincarnation approved."
Light surged.
My consciousness was pulled forward—compressed, rewritten, reforged.
And somewhere deep within my soul, a calm, beautiful voice whispered:
> "Answer. Initialization complete. I am Raphael, Lord of Wisdom. From this moment onward, I shall assist you."
I smiled as the world took shape.
This time—
I wouldn't be ordinary.
