Time has passed, and I am now 16 years old.
This world is beautiful, and although I spent most of my time in my family estate it's never boring.
Especially after living in a city with high tower buildings, cars polluting the air and if I were to list, there were many things humans do daily which destroy our planet slowly.
But since I had watched The Vinland Saga, I forgive them and I love this beautiful world. How many times I am going to repeat the same thing?
Anyway, there are always two sides to a coin and there are things that I don't like, such as -
I was reading a thick book on the balcony.
Reading was one of my previous life hobbies and since there are not many forms of entertainment I naturally accepted it here.
The issue is…
"Fuck. What exactly does this mean?"
Each book was a compilation of literary works. Or should I say it was a collection of poems written by poets?
Even popular romance novels were difficult to comprehend due to their highly expressive and unreadable content
To put it bluntly, it was like an SAT English test filled with meaningless words. The legendary English test, which even foreigners who speak English as their first language cannot pass.
"Damn it. That is why it is only read by nobles."
I became enraged and threw the book away. My head hurt because I had to solve problems with each sentence I read.
It's just right in my head! It would be great if you could write it down so I can imagine it.
What's more amusing is that reading was a basic culture among the aristocrats/nobles.
It's almost as if…
– Have you read this work? What are your thoughts on this part?
– I believe it is about this and that. How about Count?
-I hold a different opinion. I mean…
They read a book and then have a 100-minute discussion about it.
When I asked my parents about it, they explained that it was a test of the depth of the culture. I was completely speechless.
Above all, I heard that nobles were adamant in their assertions, and that fights frequently erupted when opposing viewpoints were not met.
Hearing this, I thought 'Isn't my past life a fantasy to these people?'
I was staring at the setting sun painting the sky in amber and crimson from my balcony.
Ohh... And I should let you know that monsters, elves, dwarves, beasts, demons, and so on could also be found here. There were various races.
The racial characteristics were also distinct from what I was used to, but there were some similarities.
Whether elves evolved naturally, dwarves were agile, or beasts resembled animals.
The 'Demons,' on the other hand, were a little different, and they were rejected and despised by the people of this world as 'the cursed ones'.
The demons were descendants of the 'devil' who brought this world to the brink of ruin in the distant past.
If you look at this cut, you might think it's a silly story, but the problem stemmed from the demons' distinct racial characteristics.
Maybe it's because they inherited the devil's blood, and if they didn't overcome their 'desire,' they completely become a 'devil.'
If they become a devil, it is nothing more than a monster that destroys things at random.
They were originally humans converted into a new form (demon) by the devil a long time ago. I think it was 3000 years ago.
Just know that the demons cursed their own fate and wished to live as 'humans.' But demon race is greatly discriminated.
Other races, including humans, did not recognize demons as victims, or 'humans', but decided that they were 'devils'. In fact, it was simple to ostracize them because they would become devils if they get angry enough to loose control of their reasons or fail to control their desires.
Even the holy church 'Savior' caused an unprecedented incident of indiscriminate slaughter of demons under the pretext of slaughtering all devil's seeds. So to protect themselves,they decided to establish their own country.
So its like one of those novels where we get to see the story from demons pov and get to know the true evil of humankind. I had read a lot of that in my past life.
I think I am getting an idea for writing a novel. I had been thinking about what I should do with my life in this world.I have been lazing around for quite some time and I didn't had any big ambitions since I had all the things I wanted. It's interesting since my noble family is at Baron level which is the lowest but the estate and the lifestyle is no less then a count which left me puzzled.
There were many things I could had done like-
Be a Knight...??
Since it's a world which have magic and swords, if someone get reincarnated here, they will definitely either choose sword or magic. And to be a knight you had to train your ass out. I am not joking, i have seen it with my own eyes. It's very much works
Be a wizard...??
Hell no...They say if you want to be a great wizard, you should chop off your little bother since it will create distraction. And some people follow it.
Work for the royal family/empire as a government worker..?
Why should I?? I am a noble I have everything.
Help your father and brother manage the barony..?
It's very boring
And so on...
At last, I concluded that I should write a novel since here all people read novels that are not very expressive and in some cases, many people form their own version of the story since it's written in a very complex and poetic manner.
Novels which should be a source of entertainment and enjoyment are a tool to check which noble they should interact with.
"Hmm…"
I think I'll come up with something amusing.
