The sun was shining brightly in the sky one summer morning. Loud noises were coming from the streets, and everyone getting ready to start their new day. The neighbors were chattering, the shopkeepers were putting their stuff on the carts, and the dogs and cats were ready to start hunting for food in these chaotic streets. Everyone was busy except for one boy who lay on a rough bed reading a book in his hands in a cheap apartment.
Tanaka Haru, a boy of only age 16, lived alone independently in this small cheap apartment.
Haru was on the last page of a really strange novel. Haru had found this novel on his table when he returned from his part-time job. He had at first thought he was robbed but quickly dismissed the idea.
There's nothing to rob here. If any robber came, he would probably leave his own money out of pity.
Haru was tired after the busy day of attending school and working in the restaurant as a waiter. He had wanted to immediately sleep after coming home but seeing the strange book, his curiosity peaked. He couldn't stop himself and after making himself some rice, miso soup, and fried fish for dinner, he hurriedly finished eating.
After finally settling on the bed, he picked up the book from the table. There were some complex beautiful designs made on it and in the middle, it was printed 'Claire Katz and her adventures.' He opened the book after admiring the cover page and started reading the novel.
He blinked whenever sleep crept on him.
This novel took him a whole night and he was finally on the last page. Haru was disappointed with the novel. He had thought after seeing the cover that this novel was going to be great but the story was very simple. It failed so spectacularly to meet his expectations that it shocked him a bit.
This novel took place in a western setting. It was about a female protagonist Claire Katz who comes from a rich Noble family. Claire had been good at magic since childhood. She was arrogant but not too arrogant and fought for justice. She was suspiciously dense in romantic aspects. She was simply gorgeous and knew how to be seductive to achieve her goal. Her bright pink hair and beautiful blue eyes made everyone enchanted with her.
The villainess in this novel was Lille Fox. Her name matched her beauty and personality. Lille Fox had bright red long hair and golden eyes. She was one of the most beautiful females in the empire but her beauty somehow paled in comparison to the protagonist.
Lille was furious with the fact that when Claire entered the academy, everyone only paid attention to Claire. The Empire Crown Prince, Autry Albertine, the Prince's friend, Benard Caddel, whose family had served the royal family for centuries, and the top student who was a prodigy in Science, Vitus Vandenberg.
They go through several adventures together. The bond between them became deeper as time goes on but because of the female protagonist, they fought over her while the protagonist just stood in a distance not breaking off the fights and acting emotional and asking 'gently' to stop fighting.
Haru angrily threw the book across the room.
'So much time wasted for reading such a stupid novel!' He thought while getting ready for the part-time job. Today was the weekend so his part-time job started early.
He wore a casual outfit and hurriedly got out of the apartment, yawning widely and still cursing the novel for wasting his time.
Haru yawned putting his hand on his mouth forcing himself to not sleep when a female yell came from another direction.
"My baby!" A woman fearfully yelled when she saw her son, who seemed to be 4 walking on the road and a big truck coming in his direction.
The truck for some reason accelerated its speed and was now directly going to hit the baby.
Haru without hesitation ran to where the boy was, thoughts only filled with, 'run! run!', who stood frozen from the fear and harshly threw the boy out of the way and put himself in front of the truck.
Haru heard someone yell for the ambulance as people forcefully hold the drunk driver. Haru felt a mind-shattering pain as he lay on the road. Something cold was dripping on his forehead and he slowly and painfully raised his hand and put his fingers on his forehead after feeling the liquid on his finger, he put the finger in front of his blurry forehead to find blood.
He could feel himself losing consciousness and for some reason, he thought about the stupid novel he read that night. Instead of the captured targets or the protagonist, he thought about the cannon fodder who only appeared for 2 pages before being killed by the protagonist in self-defense. The boy had lived in the forest since he was small, abandoned by his family. He had survived and when he reached adulthood, ready to get out of the dense forest, he was killed by the protagonist who thought he was some animal.
The protagonist was comforted by the captured targets and they simply made a grave for him before going on their way. The boy was too pitiful and he didn't deserve what he got.
He could hear some sirens but he finally lost the fight to keep consciousness and died just to wake up in the middle out of nowhere in a small hut made of wood.
What was going on?! Where was he? Didn't he just have an accident while saving a boy? Why was he sitting on the such rough ground anyway and…Woah! Are those legs his?! Why are they so small? Just what the hell happened?
Haru stood up slowly and saw a broken mirror on the hut wall and was shocked to find that he had become a child!
He had silver hairs, big chubby cheeks, his eyes were purple and his skin was so milky!
He looked more like a doll than a human being!
Haru fell to his knees panicking as he thought about how could this be possible when his thought come to a screeching stop! He realized that the only way this was possible was by…
'I transmigrated! I, Tanaka Haru, abandoned by my mother at age 13, working and living independently, transmigrated to this strange world, by the Isekai truck!'
