[ Ding

Mission triggered: get a job to make some money.

Reward: 10SP

Penalty: Get the title of "Useless Bum" (will also get if the host do not accept the mission)

Will the host accept? Yes or No? ]

"Wait a minute, what do you mean "title" and what's with that title? Useless Bum? What is that supposed to mean?" with his anger incense and different questions clouding his mind Dean started his questioning.

[ Ding

Useless Bum: A term use for people that do not have any use in the society, this kind of person is the worst and often blames others for their failures, overall someone who is usually called a loser. ]

Dean's brows met on the middle of his forehead, he was starting to feel irritated for some unknown reason. Not wanting to have an argument with him shouting all by himself Dean started to clean his room before heading down and see Freya.

He took one more look at the pendant his mother gave before heading out. He walked leisurely and in an unhurried manner, he proceeded down the stairs.

On his way down he noticed that the 5 men group had already left the place the only people left downstairs where the young lady and the old man she was with. Freya was in the kitchen so Dean went in there "Miss Freya, I'm here for the job you have for me."

He called out to Freya as he lift the curtain that leads to the kitchen, upon entering the kitchen of the inn his nose was assailed by the mouth-watering smell of meat being grilled. His mouth started salivating before he knew it and his stomach was also starting to rumble from hunger.

The smell was strong and enticing that he wanted to find that meat and start eating, he just ate a dozen dumpling earlier but now he was already rearing to eat. Not even he notice this point of himself.

His feet started walking on its own following the smell of the meat, he didn't even have to walk that long before he reach the back door of the lotus inn. There he saw Freya grilling meat with a beautiful middle age woman.

He didn't say anything as he watched the juicy meat being grilled on the fire, as his saliva was starting to build up in his mouth the thought of the meats taste was also feeling his mind.

Gulp

Freya heard someone swallowing from behind her and saw Dean with his clean white clothes staring at the meat being grilled over the fire. She took a piece of bite size meat and said to him "Want some?"

Dean didn't even hesitate and intensely nodded his head before unceremoniously reaching his hand to take the meat. The meat entered his mouth and the moment that it did, the finely salted taste of the meat that was grilled almost to perfection spread inside his mouth.

Swallowing the meat he realized just how unmannered and uncivilized he was, taking the meat with his bare hand and eating it like a brute was something he normally wouldn't do. Despite being hated by the family from his past life he was still raise to become well-mannered and elegant person, they say that it was to avoid him besmirching the reputation of the family.

With the education he took and his willingness to become someone with elegance, he became a gentleman. And at this moment he just took a meat using his bare hand without saying anything and directly gorge it down like some uncivilized person.

—What just happened? What was am doing? — Dean began feeling confuse as to what is happening, taking out the part where he was acting like an uncivilized person he was acting like a child and a bratty one at that.

He was already a matured man before he reincarnated and since he got back there had been changes in his mind. Various emotions and quirk was emerging from his personality that he don't have, he was a calm and collected person back on earth and in this world he's beginning to act like a child.

Being easily irritated was not his trait and base on his memory this trait didn't come from him but from the Dean in this world —What is happening to me? Is this some kind of effect on reincarnating? What is this!? —

His mind was beginning to become erratic, he didn't even notice he was sweating. In his mind he was thinking how he had been acting and how it's not like him at all, it scared him the fact he was acting this way scared him it was like his mind is being overridden by some code or being infected by a foreign substance.

[ Ding

Please calm down host, what you are experiencing is nothing to worry about. Your memory and personality is not being change it is simply an aftereffect of the mind transfer, host is advice not to panic. ]

—What does that mean? Aftereffect of the mind transfer? Does that mean I will have moments where my mind and personality will have some kind of change? —

[ Do not be alarmed host, the aftereffect is nothing to be worried about. This body was not host's original body and the soul that use to be contained in this body also do not belong to host. The body of host right now is only 13 years of age, and being 13 host's action and thought is being affected by this fact.

Although this may sound bad for hot the effect do not last that for a long period of time, host's mind may be older and is better of keeping its calm but the remain of the soul and mind of the original holder was in the memory transfer, after some time it will not be a problem for host. ]

Dean was enlightened, his mind was only transferred here and when he did the memory of the previous Dean also flooded his head so it is only natural to think that he would be affected in some way.

Memories create what a human is and how they will act, so what will happen when those memories was transferred to another with an already preexisting memory and personality? The answer is not quite clear, but it would surely effect the way that person would think and react.

Dean realized this fact and thought it was reasonable. However him not liking it, it is not that he was rejecting the memories he got but because it have an effect on the way he lives.

—Being a child this world's Dean is rather pitiful, but in the face of his mother he was like a child that had not grown up. And this personality of his is what remains in me, this is going to be troublesome if I continue to act like this. —

Dean racked his brains and thought hard for a way to make him control his impulsiveness and childlike personality, his situation is like a bipolar who change emotions in the blink from time to time. He tried thinking of a way but was left with no ideas other than deal with it and wait for it to go away.

—This explains many things and no matter how I don't want this complicated emotions I am left with no other way to deal with it. But thankfully that explains my weird reaction to the smell of the grilled meat, seems like impulsiveness is always present for anyone who's young. —

[ Ding

Correction, the reactions to the meat is not the cause of your memories and personality overlap, rather it is cause by the effect of hosts bloodline and unique skill. Host experienced the effects of the devour skill, the devour skill let host consume and devour everything underneath the heavens, but because of that reason host will feel hunger and the need to eat if given stimulation.

An example of this stimulation is the smell of the grilled meat host just ate. ]

Dean stood there with a blank expression on his face, he was thinking how he acted like a savage earlier with all those saliva in his mouth. He thought that was also an effect of his memory being overlap but turns out it was just because of his body.

Standing there Dean thought if it was good to get reincarnated in this fashion, he have some kind of personality disorder and now he also have a problem in terms of eating. Thinking how he have this problems in his second life Dean didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
