...So I died, reincarnated and got.. what!?
I can't see anything... I can't feel anything.. ...is this death?
..the pain is gone at the least there's that, also I couldn't hear it clearly while I was dying ...for obvious reasons, but there was this weird computer voice in my head? It felt ...familiar somehow but I don't really remember anything quite well ...not that it matters i died.
God, I hope my sister listened to me, the last thing I want is my parents being dissapointed in me in death too, not that they would ever show it ..well not much, but still you get me right? Hmm? Who am I talking to? Myself obviously. I have been in this weird state for how long you ask? Well, I sure don't know, so what else am I supposed to do? I mean, I don't see heaven ..or a lava pit to torture me in, so I have no idea what to do! So what if I was reliving the moment of my death over and over again? and then decided to turn it into a narrative? Don't look at me like that! You would do the same! ..maybe.
I mean, I always had a hobby of looking back at events that I found interesting, and retelling them to myself.
it's like writing a story ...just that it's for myself alone, and on my head ...and now I am justifying myself to myself.. ok, no I am definitely going insane.
As I think that to myself, I continue to float there, for some reason.. memories keep coming and leaving.. what's.. happening?? Like this place was so still and suddenly it moves like that?? It's like ..entering my head.. I can't think clearly.. everything is a big blur.
Before at the least my mind was fine! But now it feels like it's being scrambled over!
Suddenly, I started to feel something.. different? I suppose?? Its.. hot? My whole body is hot! It's dark I can't see what's happening to me, did I somehow survive and they decided it was a good idea have me cremated!? I didn't agree to this!!
I keep struggling.. until finally I am pushed out.. and a bright light hits my face..! Ahh! The.. hell.. what..? Why.. urg ..I still can't see but for a different reason this time.. d-damn sun.. the bane of my astigmatism having self! Let me live ...or die I suppose.. in Peace!
As my vision adapts I see.. ...uh what.. are those? They look like .. people? Green people.. short green people with raggs.. I say small because I can see part of the world outside but I am actually a lot smaller than them, but I am too confused to question this.. I thought I died.. why am I seeing.. uh "them"? to be honest they look like goblins actually.. wait huh? I am green too! and... Wait. ...wait wait wait! This.. it is isn't it!? I have been Isekaid!
"G..gah.!"
I can't help but make that noise.. isekai is real!? How the hell.. wow... that's ..better than death. Yeah.. yeah! I got to live! ...uh technically no ..but still! I am here! And looking at their faces they are happy I am here.. well I am shining I am going to live again! Yayyy!
The Goblins smile suddenly drops, many have a look of horror as they look at me, my new mother almost drops me barely holding on, ..uh guys? What the hell is happening..? I am supposed to be a baby.. why are you looking at me like I am the devil incarnated, I mean I am reincarnated and no saint, a monster in fact, but still! They are monsters too! Look at the mirror you all!
The Goblins bow in reverence and fear, ..thats.. oh boy I am in for a treat huh?
....
....
....
A week has passed since then, it took me a while, but I figured out why they were acting that way. Apparently my "Aura" was pouring out, so yeah their reactions were justified. I mean can you imagine? One moment you and your friends are happy because your baby was just born safely ..and the next, said baby, emits an aura more powerful than everyone in the village combined ..5 times over at the very least, so yeah understandable.
Honestly, I am almost surprised they didn't just.. I don't know, threw me into the fire! ..that would have been bad.
Welcome to your second life! Now burn, and perish as you should have!! ...yeah I wouldn't have liked that.
Thankfully they went by the religious route ...which I hate, but it's better than death.
Also, because I got my aura under control, they aren't shivering around me anymore! So that's a plus.. I am very lucky that I knew what to do though.. otherwise, well, I doubt even my parents would stay close to me.
hm? How did I figure it out that the problem was my aura? Well a mix of experimentation, and listening. Ok.. no, in reality it was much more simple. Using my past isekai knowledge to its full effect, an essential skill I know, I know, I found a similar situation, and went from there. So yeah I started to try to suppress it ...which was surprisingly hard. To be frank, it makes me a bit envious about how easily HE was able to do it.. who is HE you might ask? Rimuru tempest of course.
..yeah I figured out this was Tensura.. it was a shocker, like not only is isekai real.. but Tensura? Like.. Fantasy media is real ..say whaaat? This opens up so so many possibilities! At The same time though, I cant help but wonder, how? What's the logic behind this? ..Is this even legal? Being serious Though.. how does that work? Like.. it's mind breaking, well, I sure know I won't complain, Tensura IS my favorite isekai after all ...and I so conveniently was brought here after death, I am starting to think something fishy is going on here ..oh well can't worry about it now, I have things to do after all ..though I will definitely still worry about it, it's just that I have a million things to worry about! But one step at a time.
On a side note though, if Tensura is real.. then there's a good chance a bunch of other mídia is too, imagine all the other anime worlds! ..even if only related to isekai ones, there's so much out there! Multiverse theory is real!
Ok I got a bit off track, I should worry more about my position, and situation in this world before thinking of going to others, I know.. but can you really blame me? Surely you would be freaking out and excited in a situation like this.. and I always have been a bit- ..no a ton of a dreamer, urg! Ok enough! Consecrate back on topic!
I hear the other goblins murmuring something around me, seems they will go hunting.. they won't allow me to come along even if I ask, so I don't bother.
Now some may wonder the simple yet honest question, how exactly did I learn the language of this place in a week? Is our protagonist a secret genius that was rejected by their previous society and is now finally getting his movement to shine!? ..no, it's just that I have a skill that helps with that ..H-hey don't look bored! I am still great! You will see! You will!! ..hopefully. ...Anyway, I may not be one but Meet Unique skill: [Prodigy Sense], my best friend when it comes to learning, and the real prodigy of this adventure! Hmm you know.. now that I think about it, I have been called "a prodigy child" before, though that quickly fell off, I was just one of those.. uh, very smart kids that don't need to study, and don't learn to study, then get screwed over in the future because they never learned to study? Yeah that's that ...still I will take it as a compliment.
Now this skill is ..kinda like a super learning skill, as long as I pay attention to something, while the skill is activated of course, I start to learn it. A simple copying skills type of unique skill right? Wrong! You see.. the thing with [prodigy sense] is that it works with simple things, like language.. and decorating movements of simple actions, it's like everything becomes skills and learnable. Being honest.. it's great! I love it! ..It also works with actual skills like expected, otherwise it wouldn't be that good. And I know that because I watched one of my fellow goblins working, and accidentally getting cut, more than once, and I felt a reaction with the skill I kept watching the same hurt guy for while, and got the skill [Pain resistance] so it only makes sense, I felt bad for the poor guy though.
In other words.. I hit the jackpot! In Tensura, skills like predator and degenerate that allows the user to get more skills are the best for growth! ..though differently from predator my skill doesn't work as an attack, and it can't mimic others or have a pocket dimension stomach.. So there's that but it also works on non skills ..so it evens it out! ...maybe I mean I hope it does ...also I think it won't work on unique skills ..just a hunch, after all they are like individual exclusive ...mostly, I am looking at you Raphael-sensei!!! ..anyway that's that.
As a last thing before I move on from this.. maybe I should review the skills that make up [Prodigy Sense]? ..I suppose it wouldn't hurt.
[Prodigy sense] is made of..
[Analyze and access]
[Thought acceleration] (my beloved.)
[Parallel operation]
[Cast cancel]
[Quick learning]
That's all!
I already knew most of these, because I watched the show, but [Quick learning] is new.. from what I gathered it makes it easier to learn skills, and normal activities.
so it's an essential part of my unique skill.
I have also been using, and abusing of [Thought acceleration], heh.. I will tell you more about it later, now let's move on!
Currently, i am sitting watching the others, using my skill to try to learn something from them ...what? How is a baby sitting around like this? Easy, not being a baby anymore! Yep.. goblin life span is very short ..like 10-20 years I think? So I am basically a little child, equivalent of a two year old ...maybe a bit younger? Well enough to walk around a bit with no problem, hm? Aren't the other goblins weirded out by this? ..well.
"...look the Great storm prophet is watching over us!"
"We are being blessed right now!"
"Let's work even harder!"
..so uh yeah, monsters are weird, I mean, I get they are attracted to strength but.. they basically assumed I am some great powerful prophet of their God Veldora (imagine having Veldora as a god lol), and have been basically worshiping me ever since. I mean my parents were the chiefs of the village, so I already had a high ranking, and so some special treatment was expected, but.. not this! They genuinely don't leave me alone. I tried to explain the I am not a prophet, but they didn't listen, instead said "that their god would definitely call me" or whatever. ..hm? Why not explain that is my Isekaid? Weeeeell now.. that is a good question, and the answer uh.. I just, kinda.. don't want to deal with explaining that stuff? I guess? ..also I don't want to risk a commotion.. I have no idea how their reaction will be, so I won't tell ..unless asked then I will figure it out.
I totally am not afraid of the consequences of telling them, nope, not at all!
How are my parents ask? Pretty nice, I mean I have only met them a few days ago, but they seem very caring ..even if slightly scared of me at all times, mainly father, mother is more so.. disturbed, but smiles through it, I appreciate it, once more I was blessed by being related to good people ...makes me miss home a bit ..but! I can't be taken away by melancholy just yet ..we leave that for when I am crying in bed, I have things to deal with now! A new life to live! And one I will make sure I don't ruin!
But ..while on the subject of my previous life, while I was ...Well being born, remember how I relived my death over and over again? ...I realized something, something that at the time seemed completely normal to me
...I don't remember my name, in fact I don't remember the names of anyone! My parents sisters, friends... no one! I remember my life clearly but this specific thing, it's just missing! It creeps me out! ...yet it feels so normal, strangely normal, like it's supposed to be like this.. and it terrifies me. What happened to me? What or who changed my memories, and why the names specifically? ...I don't have an answer or a way to have an answer for that, but that doesn't mean I will forget about it, I need to know whats happening ...somehow.
Now to try to forget about the thing that has been making me lose sleep, here comes the last of my "problems" well the last one for now at least. ..I look in the lake and there I see a goblin girl, a child, but different from from the others she has a bit of a darker hair and her eyes are rather light.. a bit Silvery? It's different from the other goblin's green eyes, however what truly catches my eyes is that she has very small horns coming from her head ..it's barely noticeable but they are definitely there. I keep looking at this girl and i use analysis and i learn that she is a "Goblin?" ...why the interrogation mark? Is it unsure of something? I have no idea what that means. hm? Why don't I use analysis to figure out more about her? Because I already did and that's how I learned most of my skills ..yeah you read that right "My Skills" which means this girl is.. me.
