In my past life, I lived as an ordinary girl, who attended an ordinary school and came from an ordinary family. My life is very normal, maybe if other people see it, I look like an NPC who continues to live my life in a monotonous and colorless way, such an ordinary way.
I am a normal girl who is not too smart and not too stupid. My grades at school were also average, my looks were average—not exactly pretty, but not bad either, maybe if people were asked to judge my face, they would give 6/10 points. Because, indeed my face is just that much.
No matter how you look at it, my face won't make me successful. If only I have a good looking face, I can get a privilage of that. I can receive job from others easily, I can get a boyfriend and I can get a ton of friends. But with this kind of face, I can't get anything like that. I must work hard to became a 'someone'.
I've also studied hard, but all I could get was 52nd place out of 132 students. Not bad, but not great either. Even though I studied so hard that I was almost hospitalized because of an eating disorder caused by taking my studies too seriously. But even my healthy body couldn't bring me to a higher rank. That's embarrassing.
My ordinary life led me to continue studying at an ordinary university. Not too great and not too bad. I studied a Physics Major. Just because that's the only Major I've accepted with from the University.
Even though it's not my basic or my favorite subject, I still learned it with all of my heart. I work hard to understand the course and I've worked so hard to get an A score from the professor.
But, that efforts didn't last long for my grade. It's just fade away when I get older.
I have loved fantasy stories for a long time— maybe since I'm at 5th grade in elementary school. Things that smell 'magic' , 'mystical' and something amazing like that, I really like it. All the images about beautiful stories that take place in other worlds that are not the same as the world where I was born, are things that really catch my attention.
So, even though my life is ordinary, I don't complain too much about it, because I'm quite satisfied to be able to spend a lot of my time reading fantasy genre novels that make me happy.
When I was in college, the 'isekai' and 'transmigration' genres were on the rise and were popular among fantasy lovers. After all, who doesn't like that kind of genre? Even works like Alice and Jack's story are popular not without a reason.
Of course, that's because many people are very curious about the story of someone who came to a new world that was completely different from their life, right? Such things, are what common people crave for.
I was also affected by this popularity, and turned to looking for a lot of transmigration and reincarnation genre novels. There are many novels that I have read, I also sometimes read comics or watch dramas of that kind of genre.
So, I really like that genre. And I don't mean to hide it, but I often dream about it. Come on, who hasn't fantasized about going to another world and living a life that's clearly very different from the present? That person must be really a boring person.
I, really dream of that—and to reach that dream, I often do good thing for no reason. For the sake of making me a 'good person' worthy of that transmigration gift.
Because, if you look at some stories, only good people or people who are doing good deeds can go to another world. Or else he should be hit by a truck that had been honking as it passed but that person still wouldn't move away, so he was hit—although I think that person was deliberately crashing into it. Or, the person must be some kind of miserable person that can't get a happy life in the previous world, so that person can get the second chance to live a new life.
But, I'm just and ordinary human. I'm suffering, of course. Who's not suffering when you live in a world like this? Everyone suffer— and that's just a basic things in every human's life.
So, I can't get it with my condition right now. I must doing action to make it come true.
Because I'm afraid of trucks and big cars, I decided to avoid that kind of option. I rather pick the most unharm action for the thing that still in my imagination. So I pick to became o good people whose nice to everyone that I met., A good deed won't cost me anything anyway—that's what I once thought.
Until finally, I died at the hands of a stalker who started following me since I was acted good to him a few times.
What won't I lose? What won't hurt me? When I do good, other people's opinions may be different from my sincere(?) intentions.
And that, really drives me crazy.
So, that guy fell off his bike in front of me, and as a 'normal person' I went over to him, helped clean his wound with the drinking water I brought and gave him a band-aid that I always carry with me wherever I go—because I'm a careless person and get hurt easily.
But, who would have thought that this man misunderstood the kindness I gave and he was jealous because I was also kind to other people. It's not my fault if he just becomes one of the people I treat well and becomes one of everyone out there.
And of course, he didn't want me to do that, so he killed me. If I could act normal, I wouldn't want to help him. Just looking at him was reluctant let alone helping to clean his wound and even gave him my favorite plaster. And if I just act normal, I wouldn't end up getting stabbed with the person I helped.
But!! I really have to do that. Because I'm a 'good person'. Even though I'm an ordinary person, I still have to try hard to make my dream come true, because if I give up, I won't be able to get it later in my 40s.
That was because, people stopped transmigrating at that age.
And when I opened my eyes in this world, all I could imagine was pleasure. Enthusiasm saw the two fairies in front of me. Judging from their size and my current viewing position, it seems we are about the same size. Haha.
I am now a fairy. Can I be like tinker bell and find my own peterpan~..?
"Look at the leaves! They're golden!" one of the fairies exclaimed.
Wait a moment. What are you talking about ladies..? Leaf?
"You're right. This is the first time I've seen him for real. He's a Gold Mangrove! The rarest plant that only grows once in a million years." Said her fairy friend.
Hmm..? What are you talking about? Is there such a plant near me..? Why are girls talking about plant when I am right in front of you?
I can't turn my head. I can't move my eyes too. I can't do anything. Can't move or talk. Why..?
"Wow, I'm really lucky to grow it. I'll take care of you and make you a big, shady tree, you can trust me, baby Mangrove." The fairy then hugged me.
....
What? What did she just say? Why don't I understand it..? Ah! Is Mangrove my last name? So apparently, that's my name. Not a plant. God, for a second I thought she was crazy.
Ha ha. It must be. Why does she want to hug..plants right... right?!
"We'll come every day to water you. See you later guys." The fairies then jumped into the air and flapped their slender wings. Hmm? They left me?
Wait a minute! You shouldn't leave a baby in the middle of the forest alone like this!! Don't you fairies know ethics?
Ah, or is this the fairies' way of raising their offspring? They wanted the fairy babies to grow up wild and independent, not dependent on others.
Ha ha. I will definitely impress you guys.
However, I don't know what to do since I can't move. After the fairies picked me up, I didn't feel thirsty and stertorous anymore, but rather now I feel cold and lonely.
Surprisingly, several hours had passed but I wasn't feeling hungry. Is it true that fairies can't feel hungry? Uwah, I really can't believe I actually transmigrated.
Even though I don't seem to have any special abilities,, well, that's fine. Obviously I'm now a fairy. Yeah yeah yeah.. One day I will also can use magic like the other fairies and make my own story. This is the best!
