1 Chapter 1: Prologue
I had a good day today, I woke up early, ate my breakfast, shower and then I put on my uniform and headed for work. In the train, I was mostly on my phone just reading all the new chapters of several web novels that are updated today. I arrived at work and did all my work and got to go home early.
Now here's where it gets 'interesting', I got struck by lightning on the way home.
Can't believe it? me too.
I don't know if it is obvious, but it hurts...like a lot. I'm now floating in some sort of place where everything is pitch black. And as you can judge by the title of this story, I died before I received any hel-
"Oi, you're breaking the fourth wall" said a feminine voice in the darkness
"Hey don't interrupt me in the middle of my inner-monologue"
"Fine! Continue your ridiculous monologue" the voice pouted "At least I get something to laugh at. Your life was so boring you know? Everyday you just read those 'web novels' or some stupid comics you call 'mangas', and only leaving your room for work or groceries"
"Hey! I didn't ask you to observe me and question what I do in my life alright, besides I'm not the only who does that"
"What are you even staring at?"
"I'm staring at the people who are shut-ins like me, they know who they are."
"That's like the fifth wall you're breaking!"
"Fine! I'll stop, jeez, but before we continue, all that me dying by a bolt of lightning was real right?"
"Of course it was! Did you think you hallucinated your own death?"
"You never know, maybe I just died from shock from seeing a car and hallucinated myself saving a person's life or something."
"Ughh, is that some sort of plot from those things you read?"
"Ok, you know what, we'll stop this and get on with whatever is going on. Let me guess, I'm about to be reincarnated into a fantasy world where I have to kill the demon king for world peace blah blah blah if so, no thank you"
"What?! No! You are too irresponsible for that, not everything is gonna happen like in those stupid novels you read. Though you are right about the reincarnation part"
"So what do you want me to do? Save the world from corruption? destroy slavery maybe?"
"Nope, I just want to see what you'd do if you get another chance at life, your life was too boring and maybe let you achieve your life goals without dying this time."
"I can tell you right now that I just want to be a rich slacker, who have so much money that I won't need to work for the rest of my life, maybe use to hire people to take care of me even when I'm old, though if my new life progress like a certain one red haired noble, it's going to be a pain"
"Ughhh" I have a sneaking suspicion that the voice just rolled their eyes in frustration "Why did I choose you in the first place, I'm starting to regret my decision, but it's already too late to turn back at this point"
"It is indeed" I replied as I cross my arm and nodded my head "Do I get to use magic? Maybe get a love interest too?" I asked curiously.
"You already have your priorities huh" the voice sighs "But to answer your question, that's for you to decide, this new world you're going to also speaks English. You aren't the first one who has been reincarnated in this world, this world has a few reincarnates before you, they were kings or scholars that implement English as the worldwide language and the metric system for measurements, and only 2 reincarnates are allowed in one specific time period...And the author also wants the language to be English to make it easier to write."
"Now you're breaking the fourth wall" I grumbled "Luckily I'm bilingual, there's 1 more person other than me right? where are they?" I turn around hoping to see another person.
"Soon enough you will. And as for magic, you will learn it from a person over there, I don't know who it'll be, but it's your decision to learn it or not, any other questions?"
"Yeah, is this the last time I get to to talk you? And are you gonna keep stalking me?"
"No and yes, I will be observing your every action and we will meet each other quite a lot, what? you miss me already?"
"What's your name, miss annoying voice"
"I'll pretend to not hear that, you'll find out soon enough. Well seems like you're ready, any other question?"
"Soooo...when's our next meeting?"
"Well off you go"
A portal opened in front of me, which I was then pushed into by an unknown force. Then everything went blank. Many thoughts came into my mind, and I hope I'll find a way to live in this new cliché world peacefully as a slacker. But I also want my life to be interesting.
-What do I need to do to accomplish that -
As I opened my eyes after a long while. The answer came to my mind:
- I'll need a harem -
- Is that seriously the first thought that comes into your mind?!- a familiar feminine voice retorted
-Why the fuck are you here?!-
