While I was walking down the street in complete safety and peace, a speeding truck lost control and hit me.
I thought I was going to hell right then.
Although I wasn't a bad person, honestly, I wasn't a good person either.
I mean, my bad deeds could be counted on my fingers, but the problem was that my good deeds could also be counted on my fingers.
Fortunately, when I opened my eyes again, I wasn't in hell, but at the same time, I wasn't in a hospital bed either.
You can probably guess what happened next.
Yes, I woke up in another world, and at first, I felt extremely bewildered.
I was lying in an incredibly comfortable bed, which at first, I thought was a hospital bed.
My usual bed could never be this comfortable.
But after a moment of opening my eyes and looking around…
No, honestly, at first I didn't realize what was happening. I even thought I was dreaming or something like that.
And it went on like this for a long time, barely leaving my room.
During that time, there was only one maid who brought me food and then immediately ran away from me.
"Okay, this is really weird."
After a week of doing nothing worth mentioning, I finally realized that I had reincarnated.
When I looked at my face in the mirror in my room, I saw a face slightly smaller than my own.
Half of the hair was red, and half was green.
"Okay, this is really weird."
Is this normal in this world? I mean, what kind of terrible hair color is this?
At least the eye color was somewhat normal.
They were green, though much darker, which was the most normal thing.
Because there was a mix of red in them too.
I held both of my cheeks in my hands and began stretching them.
"Why do I look like a clown?"
Had I transferred into the body of a clown working in a nobleman's mansion or something?
I don't think that makes sense, honestly. No one treats clowns like this.
I guess this hair color might actually be normal in this world?
Well, I suppose that truck transported me to another world.
And when I thought about that, while rubbing my chin with my hand, I felt an intense excitement.
I quickly began running around the room with enthusiasm.
"Thank you, Truck-chan!"
Now I could live my life, learn all kinds of magic, and even build a huge harem.
This is amazing. If I had known that getting hit by a truck would transport me to another world…
I don't know, I would have thrown myself in front of a truck a long time ago.
As for missing my old world, I had none of that.
I mean, I'm now in a magical world or maybe I'm exaggerating; maybe there's no magic here at all.
And while I was dancing around the room in excitement, I heard knocking at the door.
I immediately stopped dancing and cleared my throat.
"Come in."
And who opened the door was the same maid who had been bringing me food all week.
"Young master, the head of the family wishes to see you."
Young master? Okay, it seems I have now reincarnated into the body of the young master bastard, the despicable failure?
Great, now I'll get that system and transform from the young master bastard into the young miracle.
I'm extremely lucky, thank you again, Truck-chan.
All along the way behind the maid, I was thinking about the next phase of my life.
Imagining myself becoming the strongest young magician in the magic academy, collecting a harem like Pokémon.
But unfortunately, all of that was shattered the moment I arrived in front of the head of the family.
…
"You mean you're going to kick me out of the mansion now?!"
The head of the family stood before me behind his desk.
He looked only slightly older than me, no more, with red hair.
The color matched half of my red hair.
His young age surprised me more than the fact that he wanted to expel me, honestly.
But I hid my astonishment by asking that question.
He lifted his red eyes from the papers in front of him and looked directly at me.
"We've already talked about this. You were supposed to leave long ago. I allowed you to stay a few more days out of courtesy to your late father, but now you've crossed all limits, Lian."
Okay, what exactly is happening here? Lian is the name of this body's owner?
And what exactly did he do to make this man this angry?
Is this one of the reckless things young masters do?
Well, no problem. Once I leave, my system will definitely activate.
Then I'll live as a wandering adventurer, enter the academy after protecting a noble lady on an epic quest.
In the end, I'll gain the power to make this family regret abandoning me.
Even though I don't really know what's going on here exactly.
"Head of the family, can you explain exactly why you are expelling me?"
He sighed deeply.
"Are you trying to pretend to be stupid now?"
"At least tell me my crime before expelling me."
"You know what you've done already."
No, I don't know. How could I know? Speak and tell me instead of wasting time with this nonsense.
But of course, I didn't say that directly to his face.
"You need to tell me at least what I did wrong. I haven't done anything wrong."
He narrowed his eyes and looked directly at me.
"You hit the prince right in the face, and you consider yourself innocent?"
