Overtake: Reincarnated in the Racing Realm

Ren's car spun wildly, completely out of control.

The track had disappeared from his sight—only the abyss remained.

His mind raced. Was this it? Was he going to die like this?

—Absolute Calibration Activated—

His vision flickered.

Data flooded his brain—trajectory, speed, force vectors, possible recovery paths.

One chance. Only one.

Ren gritted his teeth and acted instantly.

His left foot slammed the clutch, his right hand jerked the emergency brake—and at the same time, he twisted the wheel in the opposite direction of the spin.

—Manual Drift Correction Engaged—

The car suddenly stopped spinning—but was still falling.

Not enough. I need more!

His HUD flashed "Skill Replication Available."

Ren's mind focused—his ability had recorded Ryoji's ultra-precise cornering technique.

Skill Replication: Phantom Drift Activated.

In an instant, his car's trajectory shifted unnaturally.

Instead of dropping, it started gliding diagonally—toward the track's lower section.

A slim chance of survival.

Ren jammed the nitrous boost.

VRRRRMMMMM!

His car rocketed upward, barely skimming the track's edge.

SLAM!

His tires hit solid ground. The car bounced once, twice— then stabilized.

He made it.

His breathing was ragged. His hands, gripping the wheel, trembled.

Above him, Ryoji was already far ahead, approaching the next section of the race.

Ren's eyes narrowed.

Bastard. You tried to kill me.

The realization sank in. This wasn't a simple competition.

This was a deathmatch.

"Warning: 9 Racers Remaining."

More had been eliminated.

Ren exhaled sharply, forcing himself to focus. His position had dropped to 7th place, but he was still in the race.

His HUD flashed a new notification.

"Survival Bonus Acquired: +1 Skill Point"

Skill points? So I can upgrade my cheat?

A menu popped up, displaying his current skills.

1. Absolute Calibration (Core Ability)

2. Skill Replication (Passive)

3. Decay Conversion (Locked)

???

Ren's eyes narrowed at the locked skill.

Decay Conversion… what does it do?

Before he could think further—

A new obstacle appeared ahead.

A massive wall of fire erupted across the track.

And beyond the flames, the final stretch loomed.

The first race was almost over.

But Ren knew one thing—he wasn't crossing that finish line in 7th place.

He was going to win.
