My eyes follow the letters that appear in the crystal.
|
Eh?
|
Is it a mistake?
|
I look at the faces of mother and father.
|
Both of them have a dreadful look on their face.
|
Is this… real?
|
There is magic in Odoguz!.
|
I was surprised when I first realized magic existed.
|
After all, there wasn't any magic in my previous world.
|
Learning about magic, I raised my fist up in the air.
|
I was 2 years old at the time.
|
My parents got worried.
|
Apparently, I still have a memory from my previous life.
|
I heard from the village fortune-teller that reincarnation is rare and that I should keep it secret from others.
|
I am 5 years old now.
|
In Odoguz, when you are five years old, you receive skills from God.
|
You can get 2-5 skills blessed onto you, 2 being the average amount and 5 being the most.
|
But people with 5 skills are so few that it is said to be a miracle.
|
A person's skill determines their future and job.
|
So, praying to God and seeing your skills with a unique crystal is a ritual. But, when I did it… I felt my heart sink…
|
However, many times I check…
|
It says <<Tamer ###>>.
|
Tamer is a skill that can befriend/tame animals and monsters, so that isn't the problem. The problem is the <<###>> after it.
|
Skills are evaluated by the number of stars they have. With 1 star, you can tame a small animal/creature, and with more stars, the stronger the monster or animal you can handle.
|
With a low star count, you can still find work, such as delivering town letters. However, with a higher star count, you could tame a strong monster and even become a successful adventurer!
|
But… My <<###>> is weaker than 1 star, which means there's nothing I can tame. So, I probably can't find a job since everything is determined by skills in Odoguz.
|
Unconsciously, the phrase "Unreasonable game" came to mind. I don't know what it means, but I assume it's about this situation.
|
I'm troubled… In the last 3 years, I've learned that my previous memory is almost useless, even though it does have its uses sometimes.
|
I must look at my current situation, learn, and think about the future.
|
I can undoubtedly see reality. However, it's hard for a 5-year-old to do anything about it.
|
I learned that << ### >> is called no star and that no stars are beings abandoned by God.
|
In the picture book, my mother read to me, there was a story about having no stars if you do bad things.
|
It's said that there are no stars in Odoguz, though their existence hasn't been confirmed… But there is one right here! God, did I do something to you?
|
Speaking of which, I have another skill.
|
Right next to Tamer.
|
Let me see…. The skills I have are weak and unknown. I wonder what will happen to me from now on?
|
What to say.
|
My life has changed completely, to the sad side.
|
From the time I came home, I already felt something strange.
|
My parents don't look or speak to me.
|
I thought it was weird.
|
I didn't want to believe it.
|
But, no doubt.
|
They are outright avoiding me.
|
My food was not prepared when I went to my room to eat dinner.
|
A mother who doesn't match my gaze.
|
The father scowls.
|
A confused brother and sister.
|
I heard "as I thought" from somewhere.
|
I leave the room while sighing.
|
I understand what the previous word means, so I prepare myself.
|
Apparently, my place in this house has disappeared.
|
Does no stars have this kind of impact?
|
Now then, what should I do?
|
I'm hungry...
|
I want to eat food somehow or another.
|
It's variously harrowing for a 5-year-old child's life.
|
I left the house and went into the forest.
|
My field of vision began to blur, but I had already prepared myself, so I was not sad!
|
It's just frustrating.
|
I just wanted to believe in my parents.
|
Like I thought, it's just sad and lonely.
|
Tears started to fall.
|
Why do I have no stars….why….
|
Crying wouldn't help.
|
It won't fill my stomach.
|
I got to find something to eat first.
|
Today is the first time I have entered the forest alone.
|
It's scarier than the forest I always see.
|
Maybe a monster will come out.
|
What should I do…. I want to go home…. But I'm hungry.
|
The food I found was only a giant nut.
|
It's a little sour, but it's edible.
|
"Sour!"
|
It's not a little, but quite sour.
|
It was a bit sweeter when I ate it before.
|
I sit at the root of the tree.
|
What should I do tomorrow?
|
I already told myself before.
|
To prepare to escape from this village.
|
But where do I run away?
|
Can I live after running away from this village, the me who couldn't fight monsters?
|
I still want to stay in this village.
|
But I somehow felt that it was impossible.
|
Will everyone change, just like my parents?
|
... Let's just go home for now and go to sleep.
|
Is my room still there?
|
Morning.
|
No one came to wake me up.
|
It's been a few days since that shocking day.
|
I already gave up.
|
My older brother and sister already knew the story.
|
You've troubled our parents, I've told as such.
|
Is it my fault?
|
I don't know anymore.
|
For now, the 5-year-old me needs to build my physical strength.
|
Physical strength is the most crucial thing to escape.
