The sensation of movement rippled through me as if I were being carried by an unseen force. And then, with a gentle jolt, I felt something solid beneath me, a surface that was holding my newly reincarnated form. It felt like it had been a while since I last experienced gravity. My eyes fluttered open, adjusting to the new surroundings, and I realized that I had arrived.
Struggling to stand up, I realized the world around me seemed unusually tall. A thought crossed my mind, one that I was afraid to complete. "Wait, why is the world so tall? Don't tell me I am a..." And yes, it was true. I was now just a child.
As I looked around, I noticed I was in what appeared to be a rather large house. Several beds were neatly arranged in rows. I found myself situated on a not-so-comfortable bed. A desk and chair were positioned to the right of my bed, accompanied by a...
At that moment, it hit me. "Orphanage," I thought. The place looked oddly familiar, a clear sign that I had read too many novels. I couldn't help but recognize the clichéd setting – something straight out of the stories I'd devoured in my reading spree.
I settled into a lotus position, attempting to meditate and tap into the memories of the child I had become. Slowly but surely, they began to flow in – my name is Grey Hyoudou, the younger brother of Issei Hyoudou. A year separated us. The memories of an accident two years ago resurfaced – a fateful ride back from a family friend's birthday party. The accident claimed our parents' lives and took my brother's life as well, sending me into a year-long coma.
After waking up from the coma, I found myself in a prestigious, well-funded orphanage. The people responsible for the tragedy were wealthy bast*rds, offering compensation for my care until I am adopted or old enough to earn. Adoption, however, was out of the question – I didn't want to be adopted; I just wanted to be left alone to grieve.
They say that children understand everything, but can't express themselves freely, I guess it is true.
'Issei is dead? And I'm his younger brother? Well, that simplifies things for me,' I muttered with a wry grin. Nevertheless, I Grey Hyoudou, will take control of my life, shape my fate, and rewrite the script of my destiny.
With these thoughts swirling in my mind, I gradually opened my eyes and gazed through the window next to my bed. The sun, setting on the horizon, cast a warm glow as it neared 5:30 in the evening. My gaze drifted to the expansive garden where children were playing with great joy, seemingly oblivious to the dangers of this world.
"Enough reminiscing, it's time to plot my world domination, hehehe." I chuckled to myself, a newfound determination burning within me. With a mental prompt, I accessed the system that resided in my very soul. 'System' I thought. As if at my beck and call, the familiar system interface materialized before me.
