When I was Reincarnated into a Game World, I Was a Farmer’s Son

Chapter 2

Because I am not completely recovered yet, my dad told me to stay home and get some rest today.

Right now, I am still processing all the information, I still can’t believe that I was reincarnated into this world. On top of that, my head still hurts, so I decided to get some rest and lie down on my bed.

After a while, as the pain began to subside, I think of some things that I want confirm.

I begin to reflect on the past eight years I lived as Neil, comparing it with the memories of Yamada Keiichi.

First and foremost, it’s certain that I’m not Japanese.

Both my father and mother don’t look Japanese at all, they clearly have a Western face, and on top of that, their names are written in horizontally instead of vertically like Kanji.

Of course, I myself also have that cute child actor-like appearance you see in Western movies.

Blonde hair, green eyes, adorable face.

As I think so, I feel a sense of happiness that I am going to grow up into a cool and good-looking person in the future. No wait, let’s not get my hopes up.

There were many actors who were cute as children, but they don’t turn out to be as they expected as adults…

In terms of language, I can understand and speak the language I use in this world perfectly even though I had never heard of it in my previous life.

Yeah, the language here is definitely not Japanese.

Then, the place where I live now, I have been thinking about it a lot, but I still can’t figure it out. However, I do know one thing for sure, magic exists in this world.

I often see mom use fire magic to ignite the stove, and she also said that I will be able to use simple magic when I grow up.

It’s hard to think that this world is the same world as my previous life. Based on my previous life knowledge, people who can use magic would’ve been dead for several centuries before I was born in my previous life.

Indeed, reincarnation itself is a really mysterious phenomenon, so it’s not entirely impossible that several centuries later after I died in my previous life, people started to research about sci-fi and fantasy things and humans gained the ability to use magic. It’s a possibility worth considering.

However, there is a possibility that this world could be an entirely different world from my previous life.

Hmm, no matter how much I think about it, I can’t come to a conclusion. For now, I’ll just subtly ask my father and mother some questions to gather information.

As I think about such things, I begin to feel sleepy, so I close my eyes.

I wake up to the sound of my dad snoring, which sounds like the cries of wild animals in the middle of the night. Dad is sleeping right beside of me on the bed and the room is pitch black.

It looks like he is sleeping soundly.

Even relatively wealthy farmers like us have no lights to illuminate our house at night.

I heard that wealthy merchants and noble families have lighting fixtures like lamps on their home. However, those lighting fixtures are expensive, so they are not commonly found in ordinary houses, only the rich people can afford it.

When the sky is clear and the moon is visible, moonlight will enter through the window and give up some light to the room. However, today is a new moon, and even though the sky appears to be clear, it seems that there is no moon visible floating in the night sky.

Ah, that’s right. Maybe I can check the stars to find out where I am.

I don’t have a particular interest in constellations, but in my previous life, my son loves stars, so we often went as a family to the planetarium on weekends. Thanks to it, I remembered some of the constellations we saw.

Carefully not to wake up my father and mother who are sleeping on the bed, I quietly leave the room.

Outside the house is quite windy, and the and the cold night air feels cold. Well no wonder, it is early spring after all.

“W-Wow, that’s…”

When I look at the sky, I am astonished. It is full of stars.

The starry sky I saw when I travelled to Hokkaido was amazing, but it was nothing compared to this.

“I wish I could have shown this to young Yuichi when he was little.”

I can’t help but to mumble my son’s name and get emotional on my previous life memories.

No, I should get myself together.

I need to check out the constellations and find out where I am now.

……?
