A New Life

Chapter 2: Ren

To asnwer the last question, Question #1: Who am I?, I search my memory. Not a hard feat.

I used to be Asakura Ren, an eighteen years old teenager, who had just graduate Highschool. I used to be living with my estranged family (my parents are married to their work, go figures.) at least until I found college. I am of ordinary person, from ordinary family. Average grade with above average in certain subjects. Namely, Japanese and foreign language.

Now? Now I'm apparently a ten years old kid of wealthy noble family. My hair stays black, short and straight the way I like it even if now it looked kinda fluffy, but my eyes turned from dark gray to stunning violet.

Oh. Have I mention I'm prepubescent boy, again? I'm so not looking forward for puberty.

Oh right. This world is fantasy style. Violet is the least weirdest eye color, all things considered.

Hm, hm. The clothes is fine. A simple white dress shirt with black tie, black pants with suspenders, white socks and black shoes.

Once I finished dressed up, I get out from the bedroom and made a beeline to Library with a notebook and a pen on hand. The maid from earlier followed me like a shadow. Now, that can't be. I need a time alone so I dismissed her, tell her to do something else like tending the garden, do the laundry, or something. I need a time alone to organize my thought and my to-do-in-future list.

First step, gather all information. Library, arrived. Next step, get the book.

Perks of being nobility. You are taught how to read and write. It's a MUST. And thankfully, the language was in English.

Hurray for having score above average in English!

So... let's see...

This world... let's call it Gaia since it's Greek equivalent to Earth and sound fantasy-y. From what I got from History Book, the world is divided into various nations. The one I'm in? The Regulus Empire. A nation that excells in Magic and battle, due the bloody history of old, when it was Clans War Era. The appearance is similar to Western Europe in general.

This world has various races. Humans aside, there's merfolk from Water Nations, Elves and Fairies, Beastman, even Angel and Demon. There's Magical School for those who can use Magic. Yep yep. As what you expect from Fantasy World. We also has Gods. There's thirteen Gods and Goddesses. For some weird reason, out of thirteen of them, only twelve who has temple and solid religion. The 13th...

...that poor guy...

Anyway... what else? Oh right. About me.

My name now is Renae "Ren" Ainslie. Second Son of Ainslie Family, a Noble Family of Rank Earl / Count. Our family lived in our fief, which was located in Beltany Region. North of Cadera, the Regulus' Capital. I has older brother and a younger, twin sister. Being middle son meaning I won't inherit the Family Head position, unless something happened. Not like I want it. Family Head meaning goes to boring meeting and gotta be chummy with noble family and watch what you do or say. Second born have pressure, too, but not as much as firstborn and heir.

Poor nii-san. I'm so NOT envying you.

KNOCK KNOCK

There's knocking on the door. Hm? Oh.

"You may enter."

The door open and a manservant come in. "Young Master. The breakfast is ready. Everyone is waiting for you."

...Oh right. Breakfast. I forgot. No wonder my stomach is empty.

"Thank you." I returned the books to their place, and followed this man to the dining room. The smaller one.
