Classless Reincarnation

18 Divine Trickster!

"I'm bringing you to the Fire Fox God!"

As soon as Jack heard those words, he shat himself!

But it wasn't out of fear. He did so… deliberately! Without hesitation, he squeezed his buttocks as powerfully as ever, releasing it all.

'Bet you won't let me meet your god like this…' He chuckled.

This was his foolproof plan to skip something that'd be as tedious as possibly dangerous. But as soon as he did, the Flame Lord's calm expression instantly worried him.

"Awww, that's because you're excited, right? Time to clean you up."

Before he could protest, she waved her hand, a flame elemental appearing out of thin air. The thing looked like a maid of fire? There was even the maid skirt and everything.

Before Jack had time to say 'Please-leave-me-a-shit-covered-mess' the creature jumped on him. Then happened the strangest thing ever.

He felt its fire burn all the dirt inside him, yet it didn't touch his skin or his clothes at all. What sorcery was this?! Any other time he would have been glad, but now…

Sighing, he resolved himself to yet another godly fight as his guardian brought him to yet another secret room, one that thumped rhythmically.

— Ba-Dum! Ba-Dum! —

The beating felt so powerful!

Then Jack finally saw it for himself.

"This right here is the Fire Fox's Heart!" The Flame Lord introduced.

Before they stood a monstrosity: a gigantic egg-shaped crystal pulsated with Mana! As soon as he saw it, Jack had a horrible feeling.

"Go on, touch it!" The Flame Lord urged.

'Can I not? Please, pretty please?'

Jack was stuck between a rock and a hard adoptive mother.

If he ran from the Heart, he'd have to explain how a "blessed" like him had been scared of the Fire Fox. On the other hand, who knows what would happen if he touched it? Oh well…

— Touch! —

As soon as he did… nothing happened?!

Hahaha, this was perfect! The Fire Fox really was slumbering! Things would probably be fine if he didn't make too much noise. No, he could even exploit this to fool the—

— BZZZZZ! BZZZZZ! —

Suddenly the world disappeared.

All that remained was Jack and the Crystal.

The Heart under his fingers suddenly started sprouting fur!

Jack quickly removed his hand from the thing… or tried, but it was utterly stuck! It was as if he had Gorilla glued his hand to it!

As if a nightmare from which he couldn't wake, the fur started crawling toward him out of nowhere! In complete horror, he witnessed the fur invade his arm. Was this thing alive?!

[Congratulations! Soul Resonated with Fire Fox!]

[You have Been Granted Fire Fox Blessing!]

[Turning into a Fire Fox Envoy in 5…4..!]

Five seconds?! Jack opened his Status!

He quickly scrolled all the way down to Spirit of the Beast, and sure enough, that thing was utter bullshit! It would eventually turn him into a full-fledged Fiery Fox!

"Are you kidding me?!" Sure, they were fluffy and cool, but he had no desire to become one! He wanted a great human life, not finish as the Flame Mansion's Guardian Beast!

'Hell no, go screw yourself, you goddamn furry!' is what he was dying to scream, but Jack knew that straight out rejecting a god could end BADLY!

No, this time he'd be smart about it!

He stood perfectly still, even as the fur quickly invaded him. Then he showed the greediest expression as if he genuinely longed for that silky smooth orange fur!

[Conversion in Progress! Please Standby!]

[Changing Race from Human to F—]

[0%, 1%, 3%… Please Wait!]

That's when Jack counterattacked!

"WAIT! If I transform now, I'll die!"

[A Certain Fire Fox God is Curious!]

"Esteemed Fire Fox, the situation out there is more than dire! Many have banded to hunt our brethren! Recently, so did all the Dawn Lords!"

[A Certain Fire Fox God Is Perplexed!]

[A Certain Fire Fox God Argues the Flame Lord is—]

"Esteemed Fire Fox, her hands are tied! She's only fine because the other Lords think she's trying to enslave you and your Chosen! As for her true agenda… Only she knows!"

Jack argued, throwing shade at the Flame Lord without remorse. He didn't want the two to talk freely and figure out all the bullshit he had said!

But for now, he needed to provide proof. That much was needed to convince a god!

"Can you see the surface from here? Do you see how badly the foxes are faring? They're all half-dead after being intoxicated with Fire-Resistant Mana Stones!"

[A Certain God Wishes To See Your Memories!]

[Focus on a Memory to Share It!]

[Will You Accept? Y/N ]

This was the best! Jack hurriedly steeled his mind to picture the post-eating foxes. They were pretty much drunk-like, but to an external observer, they looked like they were dying!

[A Certain Fire Fox God Shakes With Anger!]

[A Certain Fire Fox God Wants Revenge!]

"Wait a minute, esteemed Fire Fox!"

He sensed that he had the being's attention. "Why don't we…." He used the opportunity to share his marvelous plan!

For now, the god should play dead and gather its strength!

Meanwhile, Jack would train by himself and return to visit it when he was stronger. He'd even use the opportunity to figure out the Flame Lord's "true intentions".

After all, there was no need to share its power since it would quickly get stolen from his defenseless baby self.

Every of Jack's points was very "logical", and it soon became "obvious" that his plan was their best bet.

[A Certain Fire Fox God Admires Your Scheming!]

[A Certain Fire Fox Is Wishing You Luck!]

[A Certain Fire Fox Says Goodbye!]

Goodbye? What kind of— suddenly, Jack realized that he was back in the real world, the Flame Lord behind him. "How was it?" She asked.

Jack didn't reply; he simply cried. He bawled his eyes out like a baby, only stopping after the Flame Lord brought him back home.

"Don't be too sad. It's not your fault: the Fire Fox's been slumbering for a long time…." She sighed, entrusting him to some more foxes.

She had barely left the room when Jack chuckled. This time, its slumber WAS because of him! Not only had he scared a god, but he had bought himself so much time... and earned a new title?!

[Congratulations! Tricked a God!]

[Unlocked the Divine Trickster Title!]

[Keep Up the G̶o̶o̶d̶ Questionable Work!]

But just as he was rejoicing, his laugh died in his throat.

"W-what the heck?! Why isn't this thing gone?!"

The fur on his arm was orange...?!
