Chapter 1

Before I know it, I woke up inside a few wooden board that arranged in a way that it
can be used as a shelter. I don’t know where I am so I step outside to check my
surroundings. But when I look around, I was speechles. If I were to
describe in two words it will be filthy and dangerous.

Where is this?

I suspect that psycho girl is the one who bring me here, but I eliminated that
possibility a second later because there’s no way a place as bad as this exist
In my country. In adittion the clothes the people used around is something out
of an rpg game

!!!

At that moment something click in my head and I
arrive in a conclusion.

Is this perhaps, reincarnation?

As a shut in I mainly pass my time by playing games and reading light novels, and
many said novels are about reincarnation to another world but I didn’t read
many of those, because many of those novels is mainly about harem building with very slow story progress or some that just has fan-service with almost no story at all. For example reincarnated as a villager then he get
a harem after 30 chapter or so, reincarnated as a dragon then got a harem, even
someone reincarnated as a virus still get a harem and of course all the woman
are beauties. For me reading that kind of novel is just…you know…kinda painful,
in many ways.

Anyway let’s get back in topic, from what I see this place is a slum. I tried to check
myself but it seems I’m just a little kid wearing ragged clothes and pants,
maybe my age is around 8-10 years old? Well I already expected it the moment I
realized I have been reincarnated. But the weird thing is, I have black hair
with dull silver eyes.

That’s weird. Typically someone reincarnated with black hair usually has black or
blood red eyes right?

After done checking myself I decided to walk around the premises. When I walk around there’s
some hooligan who seems to be eating something and not long after, they
collapsed while convulsing but with happy expression plastered on their face, a
lady who tried to seduce every man passing in front of her, and some suspicious
people dressed completely in black. After walking some more I accidentally saw 2
guys trying to violate a girl who looks like has about the same age as the current me, she resist
desperately in vain and then our eyes met. She look at me with a pleading gaze as
if to say ‘help me’. After locking eyes with her for about 3 seconds I turn
around and go back to where I come from.

Man, what a shitty reincarnation. At least reincarnate me as a normal commoner you
damn god.

And that was 10 years ago. It seems in this world there are 12 month a year like
on earth but every month has 30 days. The place I currently in is in the slum
in Feldian kingdom royal capital. The currency used here is Gil, it’s reminded
me of a game in which it’s name contradicting with how many series it has. 1
copper coin is 10 gil while 1 silver equivalent to 100 copper and 1 gold is
equivalent to 100 silver. Pfft how simple. Hmm? How can my lazy self know all
this you said? Well, there was a nice grandma not far from where I live. She
taught me many things including all high ranking nobles coat of arms in this
country and what the household famous for. I wondering how she know so much
about high ranking nobles but I have a feeling it’s gonna be troublesome if I ask
about it so I kept my mouth shut. Other than that she also teach me magic, and I’m
not even surprise there are magic in this world, this is just to clichè. The
magic she taught me are just some simple magic to create fire and water along with a bit of illusion magic. Well
it’s useful enough for me, unfortunately there’s no status panel in this world
so I can’t check wether I have special abilities or not. Well it’s very
unlikely I have special abilities like a novel protagonist.

Unfortunately grandma died 2 years ago and I really cried at that time which surprise even
myself. And what I wearing is not some ragged clothes anymore but just normal
clothes and leather pants and a dark cloak that can hide my face if I wear the
hood (given by grandma).

Hmm?

When I was waiting for the rain to stop I see someone walking in the rain. Even though
covered by his cloak you can see that he’s wearing fancy clothes from afar.
Usually the hoodlums will rob someone like him but nobody step out because the
dangerous atmosphere emitted by him.

Is he a noble? But I don’t know which family he is from because I can’t see the
family crest

When I staring at him intently I accidentally met his eyes, I averted my gaze and
lower my hood down almost reflexively. When I trying to ignore him I heard
footstep getting closer and closer toward my direction and then a pair off
boots stop in front of me.

“Hey you”

I just raised my head without saying anything but when I saw his face I'? surprised because he looks like a typical prince that will make woman squeal just by his
smile. Suddenly I feel iritated. Of course I’m not showing it on my face because my
face always expressionless as default.

Go die you bastard

“Have you seen this girl before?”

The prince-like guy said while taking out a piece of paper with an illustration of
a beautiful girl on it. The girl has beautiful golden hair and emerald green
eyes, based on the picture maybe her age is around 15. Usually when someone he
call not respond to him a noble usually will get angry, but it seem that’s not
the case for him.

When I about to answer his question a brilliant idea suddently struck me

Is this okay? Should I do it? If I succeed I might get easy money for it, but if I
fail my head gonna fly from my neck…

After hesitating for about 2 seconds I decided to go through with my plan, that is…

“Hou, so the little bird is your acquintance, family member perhaps?”

…To trick him by acting like a mysterious person!

“!!!”

Hearing my words the man’s face stiffened

“Where is she?”

Good, it seems the first step is a success

The prince-like guy said that in a threatening voice. But I’m not intimidated in the
slightest because I live in the most dangerous part of the capital and I have
confidence to run away even if he draw his sword.

“there’s nothing free in this world and you should know that better than anyone”

“tch, I don’t have time for this farce-“

“neither do I”

His face frowning so hard as if he just chewed a lotus root, and then he throw a gold
coin my way which I catch with perfection.

Thi-this guy, he just thrown a gold coin like that as if it was nothing. Maybe asking for a
bit more won’t be a problem…

A gold coin is enough for a commoner family of 4 to live quite luxuriously for half a year

“now tell me where she is”

“hmm… I don’t think this is enough”

“You bastard! If your not telling me her location I’m gonna cut your arms and-!”

“you’re gonna lost your best change of finding her”

I interrupt him again with a cold voice and it’s super effective! He glared at me
as if I was the cause of his parents death for a few moments before throwing a
small pouch of gold coin to me.

Oh my god! This guy is filthy rich isn’t he!? There’s at least 25 gold inside based on the weight!

“That’s all I have on hand right now. Now tell me quick!”

Hmm, now come the hard part huh? Alright I just need use some vague words to tell
him about his ‘sister location’(lol). Awaken my dark past!

“Alright then”

I point my finger to the west and started to speak

“What you seek lies beyond the twilight, in the embrace of the gentle hue, without
her shackels and cage that protecting her, the little bird will either consumed
by the enchroaching darkness or take flight on her own before she get devoured
by wild beast”

Alright! I said it! I succesfully said that embarassing nonsense!

After hearing what I said the prince-like guy look confused and a bit agitated

“What do you mean by that? Is she in-“

“-I think you should go as fast as possible before it’s too late”

He seems to want to say something but in the end he turn around and walk with
large strides.

After wait for about 10 minutes the rain finally stop.

“Now then”

I stand up and-

“let’s run away”

-decided to run away from the capital.
