"...Attention to our pa.s.sengers, we are about to land on Haneda International Airport..."Right after the polite and refined voice of the Flight Attendant informing of the arrival in the destination, Ryan wakes up with a jolt. He quickly falls into confusion when he finds himself in an airplane. Before long, he remembers everything that happened — his death, the void, and the system. He calls out his system silently.
"System? What"s happening? Why am I on a plane?"
[Responding. We have prepared the background story for you in your stay inside the Trial World. As of now, you are in the middle of his trip to s.h.i.+nto Teito, j.a.pan.]
For a short moment, Ryan ruminates the information he heard. "I see, so it"s like that. For my background, would you kindly explain it to me?" Ryan asked the system, which quickly answers him in return.
In summary, Ryan is an orphan of a well off family; his parents in this world have died in a traffic accident, having a truck cras.h.i.+ng into their car; he was emanc.i.p.ated after their death and became the heir of their chain business; he"s loaded.
After listening to the system"s explanation, he is amazed by his own background story. In his previous life, he is the only child in a mid-cla.s.s family, so the wealth he has acquired in this Trial World makes him very happy and satisfied.
[We shall dispense the Starter Package and several missions for you.]
The system announces suddenly, grabbing Ryan"s attention. Several notification screens immediately pop up in Ryan"s field of vision.

Ryan"s brows climb up in incredulity as he sees the missions with unknown punishment. He silently questions the system, "Would you tell me what"s the punishment?"
[Your request is denied!]
Ryan"s face turns sour after hearing the system"s short answer. However, he quickly bounces back from his funk and accesses the Storage to look into the content of his Starter Package. Since he"s conveniently sitting alone, there"s no problem if he takes out everything from the System"s Storage suddenly.

First of all, Ryan looks into his important identification doc.u.ments. There are his national ID, pa.s.sport, debit and credit cards with the pa.s.sword written in a paper sticking to it, the bank account book, etc.
Everything is stored inside a big, brown envelope.
Afterward, he checks out the three skill orbs. It looks like a fist-sized pearl with beautiful kaleidoscopic color on the surface.
"How do I get the skill?" Ryan silently questioned the system, which quickly responds back with popping up a screen in his field of vision.
———
Would you like to learn the skill "Power Cultivation Manual (Initial)"?
Yes
No
———
Ryan chooses "Yes" without a second thought.
The orb breaks down into beautiful motes of light before entering his body. As it happens, Ryan"s dumbstruck by the supernatural phenomenon. It"s only normal since he"s only a normal human before his death.
———
"Power Cultivation Manual (Initial)" successfully learned.
[Power Cultivation Manual (Initial)]—[Rank: 3★]—[Info: Allows the user to cultivate Power Points. +1 PP/Hour]
———
"Cultivation? This seems like xianxia all of sudden. Eh, who cares. Let"s see other skills."
Ryan picks up the second orb. Another screen pops up, and he chooses "Yes" to learn the second skill.
The same phenomenon from before is repeating.
Then...
———
[All Human"s Languages Mastery]—[Rank: 1★]—[Info: Allows the user to understand, speak, listen, read, and write in all language understood by humanity]

A while later, the airplane lands on Haneda International Airport safely. Ryan quickly leaves the airport and heads for a nearest 5-starred hotel in the South of s.h.i.+nto Teito in a hurry.
After finding a good hotel, he books the best room without any hesitation. Since he will get a Sekirei later, he only booked for a night. When he wings his first Sekirei, he will get MBI black card with limitless funds, so he can use the funds in it to pay his future necessities.
Although Ryan has obtained a huge sum of wealth from his inheritance in this Trial World, he doesn"t have any plan to squander all his fortunes. He wants to h.o.a.rd his wealth for the future.
That night, Ryan sleeps well after cultivating his PP, increasing it to 12 points after two hours of boring meditation. He wishes to obtain the better Cultivation Manual after finding out that manual is the lowest level from the system.
~~
The next day, Ryan wakes up feeling refreshed.
After freshening himself with a quick hot shower and eating a j.a.panese"s breakfast course, something he always dreams off as a self-proclaimed Otaku, he heads for Akihabara! He always wants to visit the holy land of nerds and geeks at least once in his life.
Even though this world is only an illusion world that will disappear later on, it is still based on real j.a.pan. Well, there is, of course, the difference, for example, the tall tower standing arrogantly in the middle s.h.i.+nto Teito.
MBI — the abbreviation of Mid Bio Informatics — is a powerful conglomerate founded by Minaka Hiroto, with their headquarters based in Teito Tower and in charge of the Sekirei Plan. With the overtechnology, found in the alien s.h.i.+p on Kamikura Island, he built up MBI as a pharmaceutical company. Soon MBI became an economic, technological and medical network, controlling the world in every field. MBI had enough power and influence to take control of a huge city like Tokyo and to own and keep a company army. Furthermore, MBI also funds the Sekirei Plan to go smoothly.
What"s the Sekirei Plan? The Sekirei Plan, previously called S-Plan, was to protect the "sleeping birds" (sleeping Sekirei) safe from the hostile forces attacking Kamikura Island in the past. However, it is turned into a dangerous and deadly compet.i.tion developed and overseen by Minaka Hiroto, the CEO of MBI.
As of now, it is currently still in the early part of the first stage, in which all Sekirei are freed and must find their As.h.i.+kabi for winging. This stage will end after 90% of the Sekirei have been winged. And then the second stage will commence; s.h.i.+nto Teito becomes a closed city. No Sekirei and As.h.i.+kabi can leave, and those that attempt to are quickly hunted down by the Disciplinary Squad. The As.h.i.+kabi must wing the remaining 10% unwinged Sekirei.
"I don"t think my stay will extend until the second stage. Well, I am gonna seek my own Sekirei and start my harem from her. Still, who will become the first member of my harem, I wonder?"
While strolling around the bustling street of Akihabara, Ryan is pondering and recalling some Sekirei he knows from the manga and anime. Since he read it long ago, the memory is quite hazy. However, it isn"t a problem to recall some Sekirei from season 1 & 2 of the anime adaptation.
"Akitsu seems to be an easy pick, but when will she run away from MBI"s lab? I only remember that she stays in the park near MBI headquarter before being picked up by that brat, Hayato Mikogami. I only have a week before my time is up. Ah, well, for now, I"m going to enjoy strolling around. It has been one of my dreams to visit the holy land of Otakus!"
Ryan quickly drops all thoughts related to the Sekirei Plan. For the time being, he goes for a window-shopping. Because of his festive moods, the coldness of the early spring is easily disregarded by him.
As he pa.s.ses an electronic shop, Ryan interest is piqued. He knows some things about constructing and upgrading a computer. Moreover, he has little skill in programming.
Ryan makes up his mind and enters the shop; he wonders if there is going to be something that will pique his interest enough to spend his money on it.
