"I opened my eyes and saw an unfamiliar ceiling. I thought that I was dead, I checked my hands and realized that they were small. I felt shocked and shouted out loud. Suddenly, a figure entered the room. He was a middle-aged man with black hair, wearing noble clothes. Another figure, a middle-aged woman with blond hair, entered the room as well. The woman carried me and said, 'Shh, Frederick. Don't cry, mommy's here.' I wondered why she were able to carry me so easily. I thought to myself, 'I am a big man and heavy.' As the woman approached the mirror while carrying me, I saw my reflection and realized that I was a baby. I shouted again, but it sounded like crying to them. And then it hit me that I had been reincarnated. I can't believe it!"
15 years have passed since I was reincarnated, and it seems that I am the son of an aristocrat in the House of Wilhelm. My father's name is Karl Wilhelm, and my mother's name is Ennuszia Wilhelm. I also have two brothers, and I am the third son.
"As I researched the world I was born into, I discovered that the country I live in is somewhat similar to Prussia or Germany in terms of its culture. Additionally, like Prussia, this country is militaristic. I have also discovered that magic exists in this world, although I have not yet developed any abilities in it."
"It's a very generic isekai story, but what sets it apart is the discovery that this world is not only inhabited by humans; there are also other races such as elves, demihumans, dwarves, and demons. In the north lies the Kingdom of De La Liberté, which is home to the demons. They are recognized by their silver hair and red eyes, and they are the only ones who possess dark magic, unlike humans and other races who possess light magic."
The west is the kingdom of elves, demihumans, and dwarves, which also had their own countries before but were conquered by humans in the war of 1830 when a demihuman assassinated the king of Darham, sparking a war between humans and demihumans. All of the human countries allied together, and demihumans and dwarves also formed an alliance together. The demihumans thought that if they allied with dwarves, they would win because the dwarves had the technological advantage. The dwarves are the ones who made muskets and artillery in this world, which is why they are called the inventor race and are considered geniuses.
"The humans and demihumans both suffered losses, but in the end, the humans emerged victorious and split the territory of the demihumans and dwarves. The largest portion of the territory went to Romanum, and it is also the Empire of Gernmania, my country
As a result of the war, some demihumans were made into slaves, and the dwarf race became extinct because they continued to resist. As a result, the emperor of Romanum, who held all the lands of the dwarves, ordered the killing of all dwarves to prevent any further rebellion."
"As I was reading a book, I heard someone knocking on my door. I stood up and opened it, only to find Carla, my personal maid, standing before me. She is half demihuman and half demon, with cat ears and red eyes, and she is two years older than me. Carla is a slave that My father bought Carla when I was ten years old, and since she is not fully human, she has not been treated well in this house, especially by my brother. I requested that my father make Carla my personal maid so that I could protect her."
"Young master, your father has called you to his room. He said there's something he wants to tell you."
"Thank you for letting me know, Carla," Please take care of yourself and rest well when you can."
I made my way to my father's room, wondering what he wanted to discuss with me. As the third son of an aristocratic family, I didn't have much responsibility or authority. Perhaps it was something to do with my brothers or our family's affairs.
Upon entering his room, I bowed respectfully to my father and greeted him. "You called for me, Father?"
"Yes, I did," he replied, motioning for me to sit down. "There is something I need to tell you,
''What is it father,'' I replied
Since you are 15 now I want you to join in In Military Academy
"My first brother is exempt from military service because he is the heir of the family, and my second brother is currently serving in the military. He is on the battlefield fighting against the Kingdom of Freidstein, as Gernmania declared war on them due to a border issue.
I don't have a choice left. As a citizen of this country, if you do not serve in the military, you will be put in jail. If I don't join, it will bring shame to my family as a noble of this country, and my family will cast me out. However, I will use this opportunity to change this world, so my response is..."
I understand, Father. I will do my best to make you proud and bring honor to our family. Thank you for entrusting me with this opportunity to serve our country.
"The next day, I began packing my belongings to head to the capital and enroll in the Germania Military Academy. Carla was helping me pack, and while I was busy with my things, she spoke up.
'Young Master, are you sure about joining the military?' she asked, her voice filled with concern.
I replied, 'I have no choice. It's my father's decision, and if I go against it, I will either be cast out or put in jail for cowardice.'
'But Young Master, you might die,' she said, her voice trembling and her eyes filling with tears."
Feeling a surge of emotion, Carla suddenly leaned forward and kissed me. It was unexpected and took me by surprise. For a moment, I didn't know how to react, but I quickly composed myself and gently pushed her away.
"I'm sorry," Carla whispered, her face flushed with embarrassment. "I shouldn't have done that. Please forgive me."
"I replied, 'It's okay. How about we continue packing my things?' and she nodded in agreement."
"It's the day to leave my hometown and head to the capital to enroll in the Germania Military Academy. Carla is escorting me and helping me carry my things to the train station."
"Well, thank you for your help, Carla. I really appreciate it. Goodbye."
Frederick turns to leave, he hears Carla calling out to him urgently, "Young master!"
Carla hesitates for a moment, as if considering whether to say what is on her mind. Finally, she speaks up: "Forgive me, young master, it's nothing."
As Frederick looks at Carla curiously, wondering what she had wanted to say. He realizes that it might have been something important, but he decides not to press her further. Instead, he simply nods and says goodbye once again, before turning to board the train.
the train begins to move, I look out in the window I see Carla standing on the platform, waving goodbye.
"As I look out the window, I see familiar sights of my hometown receding into the distance - the small shops and houses, the towering trees, and the gentle hills that surround the town.
