Lord of the Time: I Can Reincarnate Infinitely

The next day, Caleb woke up and thought to himself, "Man, this badge thing is crazy." He couldn't help but feel a bit overwhelmed by the weight of it all. But he figured he should start by taking a stroll around the city and appreciating the perks of his newfound status. So, he ditched the fancy clothes and decided to go incognito.

He meandered through the bustling streets, blending in with the crowd. It was pretty cool to see the city from a regular person's perspective. The place was thriving with life, vendors selling all sorts of goods, kids playing, and the aroma of street food filling the air.

Caleb's wanderings eventually led him to a beautiful park filled with Sakura trees in full bloom. It was a sight to behold. The pink petals danced in the breeze, creating a serene and peaceful atmosphere. He found a nice spot under one of the trees, with its branches casting a dappled shade on the ground.

He plopped himself down on the grass, leaned against the tree, and just soaked in the beauty of it all. It was a moment of tranquility and reflection. Caleb marveled at how something as simple as a park could bring such a sense of calm and joy.

As he watched people pass by,

Caleb gazed up at the sky, pondering the whole badge deal. It was supposed to be this big honor, right? But honestly, he couldn't help but feel a bit selfish. He wasn't exactly the "save the world" kind of guy. He was more of a "look out for number one" type.

He was a pragmatic dude, always thinking about how things would benefit him. So, as he lay there under the Sakura tree, he started to think about the badge and how it could serve his own interests. Maybe there was more to it than just making speeches and attending fancy meetings.

"I mean," he thought, "this badge could open up some serious doors." He imagined the possibilities – access to exclusive places, meeting influential people, and maybe even some sweet deals. It was like having a golden ticket to the city.

Caleb wasn't about to change who he was overnight. He was still going to be Caleb, but now he had a shiny badge that could help him get what he wanted. As he continued to lay there, he couldn't help but smile. Maybe this badge thing wasn't so bad after all.

But just as Caleb was lost in his thoughts, something crazy happened. He couldn't believe his eyes. Out of nowhere, a gust of wind blew through, and it was like a Sakura tree hurricane! Petals went flying, and before he knew it, he was standing in the middle of what used to be a beautiful Sakura tree shade. He looked around, bewildered, like, "Did I just punch the tree or what?"

Caleb decided to take a break from the craziness and headed down a deserted alley. As he walked, he spotted a bunch of stray cats. Now, he wasn't known for being a cat whisperer, but he figured, why not? He reached into his pocket and found some leftovers from his lunch. He tossed some crumbs their way, and those furry little rascals went nuts!

It was a simple moment, just him and the cats, sharing a meal. Caleb couldn't help but grin. He might have a fancy badge and all, but he was still the same old Caleb, doing things his way, whether it was blowing away Sakura trees or sharing a meal with stray cats.

Caleb couldn't help himself, and he started talking to the stray cats, even though he knew they couldn't talk back. He looked at them and said, "You guys look kinda dumb, you know that? I mean, you're just out here doing your cat thing, not a care in the world."

The cats, being cats, just looked at him with those blank expressions, like, "Yeah, we're cats, dude. What do you expect?"

Caleb, feeling a bit goofy, decided to ask them the big question, "Hey, you wanna come with me? I've got this fancy badge and all. We could be like a gang or something."

But the cats just rubbed their little heads against his feet and then bolted off into the alley. He scratched his head and muttered, "Guess that's a 'no' from you guys."

Shaking his head, he decided it was time to call it a day. He made his way back to the hotel where he had checked in. It had been a strange day, with a blown-away Sakura tree and a cat gang that didn't want him as their leader.

Back in his hotel room, Caleb was ready to put his feet up and relax. The place was pretty fancy, with these fancy curtains that blocked out the sunlight like they were in a blackout competition. The bed was massive and super comfy, and there were even some chocolates on the fancy pillow.

Caleb flopped down on the bed, spreading out like a starfish. He gazed at the badge he got, scrutinizing it like it held the secrets of the universe. It was all shiny and intricate, with all these symbols that he didn't even understand. He thought, "Man, this thing sure is fancy. Maybe I should get it a little case or something."

The room had a nice view of the city, all lit up like a Christmas tree. He could see people walking down the streets, probably on their own little adventures. Caleb liked the idea that he was part of something bigger now, but he was still the same guy who could appreciate a good comfy bed.

With a contented sigh, Caleb finally closed his eyes. He couldn't help but let out a little grin as he lay there, thinking about those sweet 100,000 contribution points he'd scored. It was like winning the lottery but with more action and less numbers.

He replayed the whole scene from the award ceremony in his head. The announcer, the cheering crowd, and that shiny badge, it all felt like some kind of crazy dream. But the points, those were real, and they meant he had a lot of doors opening up for him in the city.

As he drifted off to sleep, he knew that his life was about to get even more interesting. Maybe he'd figure out what to do with that badge and all those points tomorrow, but for now, he was just going to enjoy the feeling of being on top of the world.
