When I was child, I always dream that in future to become a great man or a famous man. At five, I was fascinated about stories. So I leaped in world of literature and languages and learned everything. After that i got bored. At six, I went a trip to beach with parents and seeing the ocean, I wondered - how long this ocean is? and to find that I learned the geography and geology. At seven, I got some weird disease for which I had to eat bitter medicine. Getting furious, I studied *pharmacology, biology and study related to living beings by myself and finally made sweet medicine for myself. At ten, I told my parents to buy me remote control car but they straightaway declined. Shit, if you are not giving me, I will make it. I studied everything about electronics, robotics, and communications and made an A.I. humanoid robot. At twelve, in my school, a classmate told me that I can't tell the difficulty faced by people in this world because I am cold. Being angry, I learned everything about **psychology, ^anthropology, and also learned politics. At thirteen, in a class, our teacher told us the story of brave soldiers and their tactics. Impressed by their strategies, I learned ^^polemology. But to complete ^^polemology you need to have proper gasp on history. So while learning war studies, I also completed history. At fourteen, after watching an anime where the protagonist loves stars, I Al's started loving stars. I learned *^cosmology and other space studies. While researching constellations, I found that they have some stories behind them. And while learning the names of constellations, I found that I knew them at five years old. They are mostly from Greek literature. At fifteen, I was ridiculed at a party by my friends saying that I don't have fashion sense. I learned everything related to fashion. At sixteen, I was in short of money, while buying a bag, so learned business at a hobby. And it helped earn money and I was very happy. Parents started calling me midas touch. But money brings trouble. And it also bought me troubles. Many thieves and gangsters started troubling me. So I learned all types and forms of martial arts and also mastered every weapons from YouTube. Seriously it helped me in practically very well. By the age of nineteen, I learned everything, in this world due unfortunate incidents.
I thought about my dreams of becoming famous man. I found that by becoming famous, you have to work more and being lazy is out of options. Shit.. I want to live a life where you can live easily and lazily. So, I thought it is time to learn how to live ordinary life? But I couldn't found any info that how to live ordinary life. Now it looked me like an interesting thing. I asked people and they had different opinions. So, I concluded that to find about this puzzle's answer I have to do it by practical without any info. So, at age of twenty one, I was accepted to a normal company having a normal package. And tomorrow was my first day to work.
Morning came. I got ready in a steady pace. Eating breakfast at right time, I bid farewell to my house. I took subway and was thinking how to start my ordinary life. I got a bit excited. After subway while walking on roads, even the birds sounds were to much clear and for some reason I was very happy. But suddenly, I heard a loud noise and in respond i turned left and a light flashed in front of eyes.
It looked like I died. In mood of excitement, I didn't saw the crossover correctly and a truck smashed me.
I felt a bit warm. aah !! It looked like this is death. But what this feeling of coziness?? I opened my eyes and found myself resting on a luxurious bed. I quickly turn over and got down of bed and ran to mirror in my room. And when I saw my appearance i was shocked. Why I am a bit small height? And what is this beautiful face? And this blue eyes and white hair. It looked like that this body is nourished like an prince. And i doubted that maybe my soul got transmigated in the body of this eleven year boy. This wasn't that much strange because I also studied occult and other strange phenomena. But still I found some thing strange. Why I am wearing clothes like in medieval periods? I opened up the window and saw some weird creatures flying carrying people in armed clothes. I thought that maybe I am dizzy. But after calming my self I finally knew.
That I got reincarnated in an fantasy another world!! what the hell this?? Is my ordinary life gonna come back to me???
*pharmacology - study of medicine
**psychology - study of human behavior and mind.
^anthropology - study of human history, their origins, lives, and culture
^^polemology - study of war tactics
*^cosmology - study of universe
Now, I am 13 years old. Two years have passed since my reincarnation. I found that this world is known as Fantasia. This world is filled with magic and fantasy. All mythical creatures - orc, goblin, and rest of the from myths live in this world. And I got reincarnated in this boy's body for some reason.
When, I first woke up, a maid who was adjusting the room noticed me and called over a lady. She was an unparallel beauty. The girls of earth can't be compared. It looked like nobility are pretty much good looking. She was a bit worried. I sat up. She asked
《Are you okay, Eric?》
Then I understood that my name is Eric. And by reading the lady's face, I knew that she must be this body's mom.
《I am okay. Just a bit thirsty.》
She ordered the maid to bring a glass of water. I drank it and was ordered to rest from mom. It looked like I had high fever for a couple of days.
After fully recovery, I found out about my status. I am Eric. Full name was Eric Valhard. I belong to family of magicians and knights. And due to this Valhard lineage was granted the title of *Duke. And now my father was current head of family. My father's name is Duke Troy Valhard. And mother's name is Duchess Leila Valhard. My father was former military commander of the country. And mother was a known Magician.
I was pretty shocked when I found out I am a son of Duke. Afterall it is a pretty high rank in nobility. Then isn't it fully possible to live my ordinary life? After all i am third son, so I have very less possiblity of succeeding the Duke. And because of my status as third son of Duke, I can get some good privileges like spending money as much I want. Though manners and etiquette are a bit of pain. But I have learned all this when I was studying anthropology. To know about people lives, I once researched about royalty. And in chance, I got learn royal etiquette.
But after some time I learned that I am famous as lazy Eric.
The previous owner of body was a slacker. At first I was annoyed, but then thought isn't it good? If I am already known as lazy, then it will be a benefit in living ordinary life.
The most concern for me was that I was in lack of knowledge about this world. If I can't learn about this world, then it might become a hurdle in my quest of ordinary life.
I thought that it would be better to ask my father about it. I knocked on the father's office.
《It's Eric, father. I want ask you about something.》
《come in.》
I entered the room. Father was signing in some official papers. I asked
《Is there a library in our house?》
Suddenly father's hands stopped. He was looking me with surprised face. I totally knew what he was thinking.
{Today Eric is asking me about library!! Have something have gone wrong.}this is what he is thinking.
After coughing a bit, he replied
《We have it. I will call sebastian, and he will lead you to library.》
《Thank you.》
He ranged a bell. A butler came in.
《Sebastian, lead Eric to library.》
That butler was also surprised. It looks like my name is very famous.
He nodded and told me follow him. After a bit walking from house, there was a big house. Sebastian led me inside. I finally arrived in library. Now it is time to squeeze out every detail of this world from library.
*Duke - it is title or rank granted by king to an individual or lineage for contributions towards the country. though Duke is pretty high title. The ranks are like this:
King/Queen
Prince/Princess
3.Duke/Duchess
Marquess/Marchioness
Earl/Count/Countess
Viscount/Viscountess
Baron/Baroness
Baronet
I entered the library with a bit of excitement. And the library was insanely huge. All the book shelf were huge, and were full packed with all kind of books. They were also categorized cleanly. But I was a bit confused. From outside, the library appeared to be a small noble's residence but the inside was so huge like an ocean of books. Then I went to ask about it to the librarian who was in charge of the library. He told me that to preserve and collect large numbers of books, the founder Valhard casted layers of protective and dimensional magic in library. The protective magic has been casted on every book and also on the building and the dimensional magic is casted to expand interrial space. I was shocked. So cool!!! Now my interest in magic is growing bulky by every second.
But I thought it would be better to finish all literary subjects as practical is time consuming. So I started with the history of this empire.
[Corina Empire is what people called this kingdom. Apparently this kingdom is formed by annexing small countries. Before that this empire was a small country known as Otlia. After the war when they defeated the neighboring countries, the king of Otlia changed the name of country from Otlia to Corina Empire. And slowly, the empire become one of major kingdom in terms of military, trade and resources. This war which changed the whole country was known as the great war.
And Valhard was the part of the king's special forces. And after his contribution, the king awarded him with the title of Duke.
This library was just created after the war. Valhard created this library for his descendants. He demanded the king, that except his descendants, nobody can enter the library. And the founder king made a pledge to Valhard.]
It looks like a lot happened in the history. And the founder Valhard have kept in this library. From the start, I knew that the building is very old, after all I have learned about architecture and also geology. The stones used to make this library are older the main residence and the library's design is a bit old. But somehow I felt a bit incomplete. It is the same feeling, when I start learning something and than my brain would tell me to eat more info. But It usually end when a subject is completed. And I have completed the history. Then why my instinct is telling me that something is missing??
I started to think. What is missing?? Think Eric think. Then I found the missing piece
Why Valhard wanted that only his descendants can go in library?? Yes, this is the missing piece. I searched in the book but didn't find any clue. Then I quickly ran to librarian and I asked him if there is any book which is written by Valhard himself. He told
《In the most corner book shelf, there is a book written by Valhard. But that book is a waste. It contains the history of empire but due to his unethical writing style nobody is not able to read it.》
《Thanks.》
I ran quickly and bought the book. As the librarian said this book was dirty and a word was also not written properly but it gives me some weird feeling. Suddenly when I was flipping over the pages a small paper slip fell. I picked it up some words were written on it. T-E-A-R I-T. Tear it. I tore the paper.
Whoosh!!! A bright light appeared. And suddenly I closed my eyes. I slowly opened my eyes. A bright sunlight was falling on me. And a bald old man with big white moustache was standing in front of me. He was wearing blue robes and was holding a blue coloured wooden wand. I stood up but I felt something soft cotton like feeling beneath my feet. When I looked down to check, I found out that I was standing on a cloud!!! What the hell is this???
I asked the old man
《Where I am, old man??》
《You are on my subconscious space.》
《And who are you?》
《I am Valhard.》
《Hmm. So you are Valhard. What?? You are Valhard ?? 》
My mind was spinning. Valhard?? The founder. The creator of this library. Why the hell he is here???
