I forgot to ask an important question to Hecate before I passed out.
What kind of living thing am I going to be reincarnated into this world of magic that she created?
I read a lot of Light Novels about Reincarnation in the past and usually the main character got power and no one can stop them. Would I be someone like that in the next world that I will live in? A part of me is also worried when I think about another possibility of my reincarnation.
Will I turn into a woman?
If that happens, there is nothing I can do about it. Adjusting a new lifestyle will be hard at first but that wouldn't be a problem in the future.
What if I fall in love with a man?
Thinking about it, I wonder how Akane is in the world I lived in. I hope that she is alright. Maybe she learned that I died from the ambush but knowing her, I know that she will overcome it.
What if I turned into something else other than a human?
An elf perhaps? Or maybe a monster that is feared by many?
Hecate told me before I lost consciousness that the magic she would give me was something peculiar in this world and something that I would like. A magic that defined who I was before I died back then. In my previous life, the only thing I have done is kill people and fight wars for a cause. I wonder what Hecate is talking about?
But it doesn't matter and overthinking this matter is irrelevant for now because I will know right away what I will be when I wake up in a new world.
Suddenly, a bright light flashed before my eyes, and before I knew it, I got transported into Magia, the world of magic.
I can see the blue clear sky from above and I can feel the breeze of fresh air that is making the grass rustle. My new body is also relaxing on a huge boulder that can make a man sleep.
It seems to be that I am reincarnated in the plains.
I thought that I would be born into a family that would greet me with warm smiles on their face. It would make sense that reincarnation means that you will turn into a baby again but that doesn't seem to be the case for me because the first thing I see is the ecosystem of this world.
Nothing seems to be different from the world I knew. For starters, it will be better if I explore the place.
*Nudge*
"Huh?"
When I tried to move, my body wouldn't move.
*Nudge* *Nudge*
"What is going on?"
I can't do anything at all.
*Nudge* *Nudge* *Nudge*
*CLACK*
"Ouch!"
Trying to forcefully move, my body dropped and it hurt a little bit.
"I can see but I can't move. What kind of body is this?"
I noticed that there was a reflection from afar that I could see. I focused my sight on that reflection to know what exactly I am.
"Wha-."
I was not expecting that I would be this kind of thing. I'm not a human, I'm not an elf, I'm not a monster, and I'm not a girl.
"I'M A RIFLE?!"
WHAT KIND OF REINCARNATION IS THIS?!
WHY AM I REINCARNATED AS A GUN?!
Goddess my ass. Did Hecate turn me into this so she could make fun of me? Is this the entertainment she is seeking? A helpless object used for killing people in a world of magic.
"Damn you, Hecate."
What am I supposed to do now?
"Hahahaha!"
"WHAT'S SO FUNNY?!"
Out of annoyance, I lost my composure and yelled at the people who were laughing at me. When I looked around to check who it was, the people were laughing together in a cart with horses pulling it.
"I have mistaken."
The men wore armor with swords resting on their hips. Some even produced magic just to show off to one another to see who is the greatest.
So this is really a different world.
Wait, is it possible that they can hear me?
"Hey! Can you hear me? Help me!"
I tried to scream and call for their help in hopes that they would notice me but there was no response from them.
"HEEEEEY!!!"
I desperately shouted at the top of my lungs to get their attention but it seems to be that they couldn't hear me at all.
"Sigh..." I gave a long sigh while I watched the men leave.
Of course, I'm an object, what do I expect?
This is unusual for me to be desperate. I can't do anything at all in the state that I am in. The only thing I can do for now is wait for someone to pick me up.
But what if an evil human sees me? It's scary to think of what they will do to me.
"There is nothing I can do but wait."
Days have passed, weeks have passed, maybe months have passed, and no one has picked me up ever since. I haven't even felt hunger or the urge to pee until this day. Sleep is not even a thing in this body because I'm an object.
Fortunately, my mind hasn't been destroyed because I can't feel drowsy at all. Rain has come a few times and when it happens I reek of a metallic smell and I keep on wondering from time to time if I have rusted.
Some birds even looked at me and flew away after a few seconds. There were people who kept on passing by the road and I tried calling for help but no one could hear me. I'm still in the same spot that I was when I got reincarnated in this world.
I started to become anxious and I am having thoughts that no one will pick me up.
Besides, will I even die even if I'm an object? Or should I be destroyed first before I die?
"How many days has it been?"
At this point, I'm starting to give up.
*Thud*
I was startled when the boulder behind me produced a sound.
Am I starting to have hallucinations because I feel lonely?
"Huff... Huff..."
The boulder behind me started taking deep breaths as if it was exhausted.
Yeah, I'm hallucinating.
"Damn it..."
A young girl appeared right before me while she was walking with her hand resting on the boulder.
The young girl is beautiful. She has bright yellow long hair and blue eyes like the ocean. But, she is injured with bruises on her body. Even her clothes are a mess but the only thing that seems to be okay is the black scarf wrapped around her neck.
"I managed to escape."
"Hey, can you hear me?"
I tried to calmly ask her without startling her so she could see me.
I thought that the girl heard me when she started looking in every direction but I knew that she didn't when she ignored me after she sat down on the boulder to rest.
"She fell asleep."
Looking at her situation, I felt pity for her. Someone might be targeting her with the intention of killing this young girl.
"I should wait for her to wake up."
I watched as the pretty young girl fell asleep like a log.
A whole day has passed and it's morning again. The girl finally woke up and she looked again in every direction. I'm impressed that the girl got her guard up after she woke up but in her case, it's to be expected if someone is after her.
"Yawn..." The girl yawned like a cute baby while slowly losing her guard after knowing that no one was present in the area.
*Clack*
"Huh?"
The girl's hand bumped me and she finally noticed my presence.
"A weapon?"
So she is aware that I'm a weapon, huh?
The girl casually picked me up and checked me. She started to wonder what I was as she started to raise her eyebrow while examining me with her face up close.
"What is this?"
I have second thoughts if I should mutter a single word because no human being has ever heard my calls. But, I also have my hopes high up that if I don't speak right now, the girl will leave me for good and an opportunity like this will never come again.
"Can you hear me?"
"WAAH!!!"
The girl dropped me when she got surprised when I spoke.
"Ouch! Watch it!"
"Haah?!"
So this girl can hear me. Could it be? That someone can only hear my voice when they touch me?
The girl is horrified and she collapsed to the ground while maintaining distance between the two of us.
"Hey, calm down. I'm not your enemy."
I said those words to assure her that I'm not going to do anything bad to her.
"THE SWORD TALKED!!!"
"I'M NOT A SWORD!!!"
But what she said is kind of insulting. My pride as this thing will not accept it
"I'M A GUN!!!"
Little did I know, that my encounter with this young girl will be the start of my reason for my life.
