Reincarnated as the Legitimate Son of a Duke Family's ~ Just Trying To Live Live My Life Normally, But Somehow I've Got a Harem?~

Chapter 1 : Reincarnation!

…Huh? My body feels unusually light.

As I entered my forties, I’ve been waking up recently with aches in my joints.

However, that was not the case today in fact.

In fact, I feel surprisingly light.

“Well, whatever. For now, let’s get up… huh?”

I opened my eyes and was left completely surprised as I saw my surroundings.

The place I was in felt completely unfamiliar to me.

A spacious room as far as my vision could lead to… probably equivalent to more than twenty tatami mats.

But… I should have been living in a cramped six-and-a-half tatami mat apartment until yesterday when I slept.

“And on top of that, a Western-style room? It’s almost like a luxurious hotel I’ve seen on TV…”

The place I was in looked completely different to the place I used to live in. In fact, it felt like I was in a completely different world.

Then, I heard footsteps approaching the room I was in… and the door was quickly opened without a knock.

“Master! Please wake up… Eh…?” The girl who entered my room said those words .

“Master, you got up on your own? Is this some kind of omen? No, could it be pointing to a natural disaster…?” She continued

“…Kaera? No, it’s alright, I just woke up…”

Wait… How do I know her name?

Wait a minute, why is there an elf here?… At that moment, a surge of electricity passed through my head and I nearly fainted!

“Wha—?!”

A tremendous amount of information rushed through my mind.

Memories from my previous life, memories of the present, all flooded in my consciousness at once!

And after a few seconds passed and they mixed together… The headache subsided.

“I see, so that’s how it is…”

“Master, are you really okay?”

“Yeah, yeah, I’m fine. Sorry for worrying you. Can I take a shower for a bit?”

“Yes, of course. I’ll wait outside then.”

As she said those words, the silver-haired elf maid, Kaera, left the room I was in.

Pushing aside my questions for the moment, I decided to take a shower to cool my mind, surprisingly I was not panicking as the memories of my previous world and the current world have already assimilated together.

“Um… So did I Reincarnate? Transmigrated? Or did I possess this body?… No, it must be reincarnation.”

Looking back calmly, I have memories of living as Alex for around sixteen years.

The confusion arose because my memories of about forty years living on Earth suddenly rushed to my mind or came back?

Because of that, my current memories are muddled and are in chaos.

“I probably died in my past life without realizing it.”

I don’t have any memory of how, when or where I died, so sudden death is likely to be the case in the scenario.

“Well, I suppose that’s possible.”

I was a loner and had been working for a black company since I graduated high school… for nearly twenty years, enduring brutally tough days without much rest.

I even thought it wouldn’t be strange to die at any moment.

“Well, it’s a relief that I don’t have any memories of dying. It would have been too painful.”

Thanks to that, I’m not feeling any anxiety, and there’s not much sense of tragedy.

Plus, it seems like I’ve been reborn in a relatively good and rich place.

“I was born as the legitimate eldest son of one of the two Dukes of the Arcadia Kingdom.”

The Duke’s house is considered to be a branch of the royal family.

But the circumstances here are a bit different from what I know about duke households.

In my understanding, they’re established by individuals who couldn’t ascend to the throne.

However, in this world, the role of Duke is quite significant and impactful.

They also serve as spares for inheriting the throne whenever the need for it arises.

“So, I also have the right to inherit the throne huh.”

Moreover, until recently, I was second in line right after the crown prince.
