"Ahh…"
The pain stopped. Man, that hurts like hell. I don't even remember why that happened in the first place.
Silence….it's still quiet huh? It's still dark in here, figures.
But something feels different? I mean, I don't think I'm not floating anymore, still, I feel light. I can feel something. A warm, soft, and comfortable layer that's touching my back. Did I finally reincarnate?
"Man, this is comfy," I thought. It was the most comfortable feeling I had since I died. I can almost sleep just laying down here, though I don't know what this thing is.
I tried to open my eyes; I can't. Odd, can I not see? Or am I still not in a body? No, if it was then I wouldn't feel tired in the place where my eyes are supposed to be.
It feels familiar, as if my eyes cried so hard a lot to the point of being exhausted. I wonder how long ago it was that I felt this way. Was I crying? Or did this body I'm in right now cry moments before I came to my senses.
Either way, it's starting to feel better after some time; I continued trying to open it.
Finally, my eyes opened, which took longer than expected. could finally see something, it was dark….. But not the darkness I'm familiar with, it's not endless either as I see it having some sort of a form like a roof? But why is it so close to my face, it's just a meter away from my face; It seems to be too small to be some kind of roof.
Oh yeah, there was also this fluffy thing, I glanced to my side to see that I'm laying on some kind of bed, but what kind of bed has the size of a car?! The beds that I've been sleeping in my entire life are not even a quarter of this size. This sure is big, and it seems that this entire bed is covered with thin sheets of black…..cloth? It looks very fancy, it is also somewhat see-through. It reminds me of that mosquito net(Kaya - Japanese mosquito nets) that I've been seeing in pictures, but this looks a lot fancier.
Anyway, I feel small. I stretch out my arms to see a kid's size hand, yeah I reincarnated as a kid. Usually, I reincarnate into a baby and such but not this.
Though….
"What sort of kid that has this size of a bed?!"
I went out of this massive bed to see a ginormous room. Platter with many jewels, books, a personal table, a door to what seems to be a wardrobe, and fancy blue and dark walls all around.
"This is the size of my entire house!" I was overwhelmed. What kind of family did I reincarnate into to have this size of a room?!
I think I'm a child of a millionaire, wait, the style of the room seems medieval…Oh, I forgot that this is a fantasy world, so maybe a high-ranking noble then? I doubt that low-ranking nobles would have the money to be this fancy for their child.
This is extremely suffocating, there are a lot of expensive and delicate things in here, I'm afraid that I might break one of them if I touch them.
Also despite not having any light in here, I seem to see just fine. Odd, also what time is it now? I looked around the room and saw what seemed to be some sort of a pair of curtains. Man are they huge, does it mean it's covering a large ass window? I opened the curtains to see some sort of glass door that leads to what seems the outside. It was a balcony.
"I have a balcony in my room?!" Yeah, I'm sure of it, I'm part of a rich family. This room of mine was so mesmerizing that I forgot what was I doing here, oh right, it was to look at what time it is.
It was night. A night sky covered with millions upon millions of stars.
The moon looks pretty. The moon was at the top of the night sky telling me it was midnight. I looked more into this beautiful night sky and see these stars twinkling. It was a beautiful sight. I reincarnate again.
It was peaceful, I like this peaceful feeling.
Wait, I shouldn't be too focused on that. I have to find out where I am right now. Over the horizon, I see a massive forest as far as I can see and it looks like I seem to be living in a ginormous mansion. I'm also on some kind of hill or an elevated place since the forest was a lot lower than where the bottom of this mansion is. There seem to be walls covering this place at the bottom of the hill and another one far out in the distance. It seems to be made out of some strange stone or material, it looks heavy but it seems to be very stable. I could see there are no dents or curves on the walls despite being made so high, meaning its foundation and structure must be good.
Wait, how can I see these walls in so much detail when it is so far away? If I was in my old body, I wouldn't have known what this material looks like since it is so far away.
I was confused. How was I able to see that? I continued thinking until I remembered something, that's right, there are supposed to be skills in this world!
Back in that endless darkness, I remembered hearing some robotic female voice saying stuff like "Transform traits to Skills" and "Unable to acquire all of the transformed skills" or something along those lines.
Then maybe that's how I'm able to see clearly, I used to have great eye-sight in my past life so maybe it transferred here as skills and was enhanced. I was also able to see normally inside my dark room, does it mean I have night-vision? That's kinda neat, although I don't know what my skills are at the moment.
How am I supposed to know…..I think in those isekai mangas I have read, they would say some words to show their stats and stuff.
"Maybe [Status Open]?" No, it didn't work. "Um, [Skill List?]", nothing.
"Hmmmmmm, may I please know what my skills are? I would really appreciate it if someone tells me how!" I said while being a little quiet since it is in the middle of the night.
Nothing? Well I guess there's no way to-
"Notice. [Unique Skill: Knowledge] has awakened. Would you like to see your status information?"
"Yes or No?"
Wait, what? What's this voice in my head? I was shocked when I heard a familiar voice in my head.
"Response. This is your [Unique Skill: Knowledge]"
Unique Skill? Why does it have the same voice as the one I heard in that eternal darkness. "Where were you the one who was talking about transforming skills at that time?"
"Negative. The entity you are describing is the [Voice of the World]. I am merely using its voice to be able to answer any of your questions."
Really? Wait, [Voice of the World], I've heard of that before… Wait, that's not important, it said that I can see my status information right? It seems that this skill answers my questions and with the name Knowledge, it should be very knowledgeable but why does it feel familiar.
"Please show me my status information."
"Affirmative. However, due to the Individual □□□□□□ □□□□□□□□□ not receiving the temple's blessing, your elemental affinity is locked and hidden and is unable to present. "
"In addition, due to having too many skills and low proficiency, it is only possible to show three skills of each type. The Power Level will also be displayed in two different ways based on the knowledge gathered in your previous life and what suits best to your understanding. These power levels are aligned with this world's ranking system as well. Do you wish to proceed?"
"Yes or No?"
I was genuinely surprised at how reliable this skill is, to the point of warning me that it can't show me everything and telling me it has limitations, it seems pretty good. Still, not being able to see what type of magic I can use sucks but at least I can see my power level, though it uses my knowledge back in the previous world so I don't know how strong I really am considering any knowledge I have about Power Levels is from mangas, novels, and anime. Still, to think some of the Power Levels from my world are also in here is crazy, though I think it should be normal since some of them are always used in typical isekai anime.
"Yes."
"Confirmed. Displaying status information:"

It was overwhelming, I didn't expect much since it said my skill has low proficiency but this gave me more information than I thought. Sure it's small compared to characters that I've seen in mangas but it's only because most of my skills are hidden. And I found out why some things feel familiar to me.
[Existence Value] - A measurement of a person's skills, magicules, and items.
I can't believe it. This is the numerical measuring system that R*muru made! Does this mean that this world is somehow connected to that slime isekai? Of course, I can't be sure if it's the same world but it might have some similarities.
Also [Voice of the World], no wonder the name and the robotic voice sound familiar, this exist in that slime isekai as well.
[Voice of the World] - is the 'voice' that announces events in the world. It is also known as the governor of the world. It can be considered as an omnipresent being who oversees everything. When events are announced, the 'Voice of the World' will be heard. The World's System, which was created by God, is the actual entity behind the voice. It keeps track of everything from magicule flow to distributing and granting skills, as well as soul circulation.
To think that this thing is here. And lastly my [Unique Skill: Knowledge], closely resembles [Unique Skill: Great Sage] that R*muru had when he got reincarnated. Sure it is not as good as Great Sage but it is still useful if it has the same abilities.
If this world has some rules that are similar to that series, doesn't that give me a huge advantage?
Sure I know skills, races, and most things using that slime isekai as a reference, but everything else like magic, experiences, survival, and everything else, I need to learn myself.
But I wonder why, why am I smiling so much? Why is my heart beating in excitement? I guess my weeb-ness is showing up, either way, I'm excited.
But first, I need to learn more about this world and how I can use my knowledge to my advantage, and I need to learn who am I in this world and how I can take advantage of it. Might as well get the most of this life right?
Oh yeah, I just remembered. My friends might also reincarnate in the same world as me. Plus if they realized that this fantasy world closely resembles some RPG games and anime we have watched, they would take advantage of that knowledge and try to get stronger, I can't get left behind them. I should get stronger as much as I can.
Maybe I should become an adventurer if there are adventurers in this world. Well, my new life, here I go!

That is what I said at that time, but little did I know that who I and my family was can cause me so much trouble in achieving my goal.
