Fairy Tail: You said you were just acting, are you serious

X772, Kingdom of Fiore, Magnolia Town.

"So I was reborn into Fairy Tail?"

Ron frowned and rubbed his temples, revealing a troubled expression typical of adults.

Ron was processing his memories of his past life, in which he was called White Ron, an ordinary working-class man who was hit by a lucky accident.

In this life, he still shares the same name, but according to the rules here, he is called Ron White.

His start in this life doesn't seem to be that bad. In the Fairy Tail world, his parents are still alive and well, and they are both on long vacations traveling around.

After processing his memories of his past life, he was momentarily dazed. He looked down at his surroundings and realized that he was sitting at the dining table.

The table in front of me was covered with a lace-trimmed tablecloth, on which sat steaming cups of black tea and a plate of toast I had prepared, spread with cherry jam.

Ron then picked up the small mirror on the table and saw his current appearance in it.

The reflection in the mirror shows a 10-year-old version of himself who hasn't yet passed puberty.

Aside from her dark gray hair and much younger face, her features remained as delicate and deep as in her previous life.

"It's so good to look younger again, my skin is so soft."

Ron looked at himself in the mirror, pinched his round cheeks, and couldn't help but sigh as he felt the soft touch he hadn't experienced in so long.

Having endured the harsh realities of life in my past life, being able to regain a vibrant, youthful body is undoubtedly the greatest blessing.

After a brief moment of elation, Ron regained his composure, then tilted his head and frowned again.

"This body has clearly lived here for several years, so why didn't it awaken earlier or later, and why did it only remember its past life this morning?"

He carefully observed his surroundings, then looked down and noticed two opened letters on the ground.

Ron picked up the envelope from the ground with a puzzled look. It was covered in writing. He glanced at the signature and saw that it was a letter from his parents, the Whites, who were on a trip.

In Ron's memory, the Whites were always full of energy and vitality.

He never expected that they, who were on their second honeymoon, would still care about him, who was alone at home.

Ron couldn't help but read the contents of the letter with great anticipation.

They were able to find time to write back, and the letters must have been filled with their concern for their son.

His eyes swept quickly across the dense text.

Slowly, the smile on Ron's face froze.

The good news is that the Whites are safe and sound.

The bad news is that the Whites were having too much fun.

The letter, which filled a page, can be summarized simply as follows: their love was rekindled during this trip.

After a difficult decision, they decided to enjoy their trip more and postpone their honeymoon for another ten years.

To make up for Ron's missed childhood, they decided to give him all the remaining assets of the family, as well as the position of director of the Pure White Theatre Company.

Ron felt his blood pressure rising and couldn't help but complain:

What does it mean to be so in love that you don't want to separate again?

Am I not human?

Isn't this just setting yourself up for disaster?

Ten years! Not ten days, not ten months!

How many decades are there in a lifetime!

As far as Ron knew, magical theater troupes were no longer popular in this day and age.

With the emergence of various new types of magical entertainment, this old-fashioned performance style has long lost its market.

This magic theater troupe is basically a loss-making business. It can only continue to operate because the parents are nostalgic and rely on the assets they have accumulated.

The new generation of parents are really carefree, just leaving their assets and a minor child at home like that.

Ron was speechless and could only sigh.

"Fortunately, I no longer need a biological father to make up for my childhood, and these assets are enough for me to live on for more than ten years."

Ron is now living off his family's remaining savings and this house. If he sells that run-down theater troupe, he can live a life of ease for a few more years.

Ron then looked at the second letter and noticed that his blood pressure was starting to rise again.

That was the law firm's asset liquidation list, which was densely packed with various accounts and financial information.

The list also included the debts the Whites had previously incurred, and reminded the person in charge to remember to repay them on time.

Ron counted the zeros after the string of red numbers one by one, and it was higher than the assets left by the Whites!

When Ron looked back, he realized that it was by reading these two envelopes that he had inadvertently awakened his memories of his past life.

Ron was so angry he laughed. So these memories of his past life were triggered by his own parents.

Just then, a voice echoed deep within Ron's mind.

[Host has been detected to be bound to the Pure White Theater Troupe, activating the Multiverse Role-Playing System]

Then, a semi-transparent interface appeared in front of Ron's eyes.

Looking at the interface before him, Ron's resentment was instantly dispelled by this pleasant surprise.

"Mom and Dad, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."

Ron silently apologized for his unfilial remarks earlier. His parents really went to great lengths to help him awaken the system!

If they hadn't pulled off such an amazing feat, how could I have activated this cheat?

Ron subconsciously put on an expression of being moved, wiped away non-existent tears, and began to carefully examine his panel.

[Multiverse Role-Playing System]

Ron White

[Magic: Costume Change Magic (E), Visual Effects Magic (E)]

[Skills: Acting (B), Basic Magic Manipulation (D), Local Language Studies (A)]

[Talents: Magic Power (E), Charisma (A)]

[Rank Rating: Third-rate actor, F-rank mage]

[Current role: 0/1]

Judging from the panel, Ron, who is only 10 years old at the moment, has only learned some magic that is useful on stage.

Dress-up magic can only change clothes in a second, while visual effects magic is used to create illusory light and shadow effects on stage.

Although these two spells have high potential, they are currently only at the E-rank, so Ron's current combat power is zero.

Ron looked puzzled.

It was supposed to be a role-playing game set in multiple worlds, but where are the characters?

There has to be a role for me to play, right?

With Ron's thought, the semi-transparent panel in front of him transformed into a new interface.

[Multiverse Role-Playing Gacha]

The interface here is like many gacha games, filled with many shadowy characters, and there is a gacha button at the bottom.

At that moment, small black text popped up in front of Ron's eyes again, and the system notification sounded in his mind once more.

[My first gacha pull is ready; I'm guaranteed a B-rank character.]

Then, the draw button shone with golden light, seemingly anticipating Ron's first draw.

"A hero can't desert his post! Draw!"

Without much thought, Ron followed his heart and pressed the lottery button.

Then the scene began to change. The card pool interface suddenly vibrated, and a card with a red border appeared in the center of the screen, with a big A written on it!

The sudden red light surprised Ron, who had expected to only draw the guaranteed B-grade item, but his luck was surprisingly good today.

Then, the figures shrouded in shadow vanished instantly, leaving only the chosen shadow. Under the light, the shadow gradually grew larger and eventually overlapped with the card in the center.

Under Ron's expectant gaze, as the shadow moved into the card, the light gradually faded, and the character became clearer.

When Ron realized what kind of character it was, the smile on his face gradually faded, his eyes widened in disbelief, and his brows furrowed even more deeply than before.

An adult male wearing a gray suit and a pink tie appears on the card, with his orange hair neatly combed.

Mob Psycho 100 - Reigen Arataka

The card depicts Reigen Arataka gazing at Ron with a confident and composed look.

Ron stared into those eyes that looked like those of a con artist, and felt his breath catch in his throat.

The Reigen Master who has no superpowers in Mob Psycho 100?!

No, in a story where everyone starts out playing a Homelander, you're giving me a ridiculous character with zero combat power?

System, have you and my parents awakened a system that needs to collect my negative emotions to make me so angry?!
