One day I was just going back home from the part-time work I just barely finished. I didn't want to work but you can't really stay unemployed so I worked as a programmer in a small start up company.
I was not really super talented or hidden gem. I was just one of many average people in the company.
Honestly even I think I am worst. It's not that everyone is treating me like worst. Everyone treats me equally but I guess I am just don't want to blend in?
Sigh I don't want to improve but I don't want to be average as well and if I get a chance I will turn the whole world into my sandbox.
I will have a world filled with beautiful girls who overly love me!
… Well it's not like I can anyway. I should have worked better at emotional stuffs, I am just an introvert loner who is completely average.
While I was thinking all such things suddenly the legendary Truck-kun came and hit me.
Well it was my mistake, I thought no one would be driving at this late at night but I guess I was wrong. I like to walk in the middle of the road at night so you can't blame me for it.
Anyway dying by Truck-kun fucking hurts. How come all those protaganist just die like it's no big deal?
The pain all over my body is so excruciating that I fell like dying... Wait I am dying!
Damn I can't even just go to a peaceful sleep with all this pain I hope I could die faster so I can escape this pain.
I feel like I got my lung, arm, legs and some organs really damaged though most of my body is turning numb from pain so I can't be sure just that everything hurts, breathing hurts, life hurts.
Well finally I feel like fainting at least I won't be getting this painful sensation all over my body now.
When I died, there weren't any fireworks. No white light, no random Omnipotent being. Just... silence. Maybe really just a sleep?
Then suddenly came the blinding headache and a small, echoing voice saying, "Huh?"
Well it was me who said it but my voice feels different and the headache keeps going on.
After sometime the headache finally calm down a bit.
I finally know what happened. I had reincarnated in another Earth. Though I don't know if the 18 years memory is the one installed in my brain or this life's memory installed in my brain.
But one thing is clear that it's me, like really both of my life is pretty chill to accept any number of life in me. I am not gonna go who am I?
I got good sense of me, if I got many lives worth of memories then that's just the start of my new life.
It's going to be hell anyway why torture myself over it.
Anyway I was five again in this life apparently. I got a new name, new face, new family — or lack of it, really. An orphan, dropped into some random rich looking house in Kuoh Town, Japan.
Not too bad though — clean streets, quiet neighborhoods, and the vending machines actually worked.
Good enough for my new life.
Though it's too bad my parents of this life died early infact just few months before they died my memories came it seems.
Was I sad? No. Was my previous version who was living in this world sad? Again no.
Looks like my parents were not really good as parents, they treated me like I was a mistake that they made one night and nothing more.
Sometimes they yell at me, sometimes they vent their stress on me but let's not go to the dark side.
It's my new life now anyways let me enjoy it.
Good news is that I got 45 million yen from them as an inheritance.
I knew how the market would move. What tech would go big. When big events would hit.
So, I will play it smart. Investments, crypto, stock timing. I will turn my 45 million yen into way more before I will even hit middle school.
This time I will be super rich for sure, get every game I can, eat only good food, become a househusband of some super rich lady and live a luxury life with doing nothing for work.
Yeah I think I am still a scum.
Well been a small 5-years old boy maybe be a problem for most but not for me. I got "Real Life Experience" so I am sure I can manage myself just fine.
…
One Week Time Skip
…
Alright it's been a week since I am done with getting used to this new life.
And I think this world is weird...
Everyone here are good looking....
Why am I the only one with average looks?
I want the good looking perks as well!
Anyway looks like been a 5-year old despite my real 18-years of experience is still not ready to handle such a change.
I get tired easily, most of the things are too heavy, some are too high to take it and such problems are just getting more and more.
I need more time to get used to this world.
By the way my neighbors are really good, sometimes they even give some food.
The only problem is that they are giving me pity looks and one of them even talk about adopting me in.
Of course I declined firmly.
Also the neighbors kids are too clingy as well.
All are asking me to play with them with their childish games.
While I am a child and may act childish I don't want to play with them, I am learning more about programming as I brought some books on it.
Their was this girl who thought I was badass declining to play childish games and reading such a book full of text.
I think that girl had some screws loose.
Who like a kid who is reading a thick book about programming which is not even a mainstream yet?
I was already labelled as a weird kid by others so I guess it's fine.
