2 Chapter 2 - A Revelation

Day 1

I can't believe it, I was actually reborn as a baby! A reincarnation?! A world transferring event?

No, idiot. Reality isn't that of a giver. Reincarnation maybe is possible, but a transferring to another world? Geez, don't try to make this life a fantasy.

Myself was right. Even if I was an otaku, and had wanted to live in a fantasy world, it's impossible! Reality is reality. It's a human world where no magic exists. A totally boring world. Even if I was truly reincarnated as a babe, it's probably possible since there are various beliefs regarding reincarnation in different countries.

Well, whatever happens. It's still good.

According to a baby's cycle of development, I'd have my eyesight back after a few months. Let's just wait. Besides, I have to confirm something very important when I can move by myself. It's a very important matter since I can't feel something in between my thighs.

I don't want to think about it. But maybe, the reason why I can't feel 'him' is because 'he' is still small. After all, I was reborn as a baby. However, a confirmation is needed. I have a bad feeling about this specific matter. I just hope it's wrong.

I really hope for it to be wrong.

Day 117

I can't believe it!

It's not there!

Something must've happened. This must be a mistake.

These words of regret and anger continuously flows in my being. The reason? My friend down there is not there! I'm not a he, I'm actually a she!

How is this possible? To be reincarnated as a girl while remembering my past life as a straight guy, is reality playing a trick on me. This is not possible!

I should've been reincarnated as a boy! I'm a guy at heart! How can I act as a girl if I remember perfectly that I'm a healthy guy in the past! I'm not even a virgin in my past life!

I started to tear the teddy bear that was handed down to me by our maids as a toy. The only thing that kept me from insanity was this. My strength, my surroundings, my 'new' family, this world.

"Ara, Hell. That's already the fifth toy that you tore!" I woman wearing a very pretty light green dress walked elegantly towards me. She was very beautiful with bright red eyes and silver blue hair. But if a normal being saw her, the most eye-catching thing was the two horns that protruded the sides of her forehead. She's my mother.

"Haha. And it's even strengthened by a spell in the fourth tier! As expected of my daughter!" A man in a dark blue attire with blonde hair, dressed like a noble in an anime, held the hand of the woman. He also had two horns that protruded his forehead. And he's my father.

The woman then lifted me up causing me to giggle.

Aah. For the past days I've been contemplating but it seems that my mentality is totally separated from what I feel. There's still a connection though but it is very small. Reason: even if my mental age was already 26 years old, my feelings seemed to regress. Just like now, I shouldn't have giggled. For a 26-year-old guy, lifted by a woman, to giggle is not appropriate. Well, to be more exact. That's just gross!

But still, I did giggle. Like how a baby should.

Even when I was sucking my mother's nipples when she was breast feeding me, I couldn't feel a thing! If I was normal, I would have…

Err, let's not talk about that anymore.

Anyway, so that's that. I still have a theory though, but I still can't prove it if I'm still a baby. I should grow up first.

Okay, going back, the things that kept me from insanity were my strength, my surroundings, my family and this world. Again, this world. T-H-I-S-W-O-R-L-D!

-- is a total fantasy world!

Totally out of my expectations! A clear difference between reality and expectations! I was elated! I've dreamed of this sense time immemorial! A world where magic exist, a world full of monsters, a world where I can run free without the stress of having too much workload in the four corners of that old building.

The very proof of this is my family!

My mother and father who had two horns stuck on their forehead. The maids that were different monsters I only encounter in animes, mangas and light novels! The mansion and the small town which was on top of a flying piece of land, and the dragons – YES, DRAGONS! – that I often see flying outside!

Despite the demerits of being reincarnated as a girl, the merit totally equated the sacrifice. The sacrifice being my partner down there.

Thinking like this, I finally calmed down from 'his' disappearance and thought that it is possible to live in this world.

Day 1,542

Four years and eighty two days passed when I woke up as a baby, and now I'm four years old. Err, that would make me thirty years old I guess. But, let's forget my past life, for now.

Presently, I was sneaking into my brother's room, particularly in his closet. I was trying to find a suitable and wearable pair of clothes. Specifically, a pair of shirt and pants.

I looked at the mirror and saw a girl with a pair of red eyes and silver blue hair, two horns protruding the sides of her forehead. A younger version of my mother. A very beautiful girl. Disappointingly, that's me.

Wearing a pretty blue dress and having hair ornaments, my face distorted. Uwah, I really am a girl. Was all I could think of, but I already accepted that fact though. It's just hard to stare at my beautiful face while my mentality was of a 30-yearl old man.

Amazingly, our race is called dragonian, a direct descendant of the Dragon Lord Catastropheia. It was said that grandmother was the lord of all monsters in this world, and thus, we used to live in land. However, the humans started a war and thus crushed almost all of my grandma's forces that forced her to let herself be swallowed of the Earth to lift a piece of land into the sky where the remaining monsters could live without interruption from the human beings for eternity.

Well, I do have a question. How can a human defeat a dragon lord? Which I answered, there's probably a human hero out there somewhere.

Thinking of this, I immediately admired whoever the hero was. Ever since I was still in my previous world I had wanted to meet a hero and this world made it possible to meet one!

Thus, I immediately changed my clothes when I found those that I can wear. A white shirt and brown pants, with some suspenders. After changing clothes, I placed my dress neatly on my brother's bed and ran off. It's a normal occurrence.

Outside waited my first ever friend in this world, Felix Virgo. A fellow dragonian which served my family ever since. He's older than me by three years, and he served as my bodyguard. Well, he's not that helpful though.

"Let's go, Felix!" I urged him while running towards outside, into the forest, to our secret place.

"Wait, hime-sama!"

Fufufu. Yes, I am called a hime-sama here. Well, I do prefer to be called ouji, but circumstances don't let you have your way, so I'm a hime-sama.

Behind was Felix trying to catch up to me but, in Dragonia, no one except my brother and parents can catch up to me while running. It's surprising, but I seem to have inherited so much of my parents' powers. Strength wise, I'm stronger than my father when he was my age. Speed wise, I'm faster than my brother when he was my age. Magic wise… well, that's a problem. I haven't developed any magic yet. A total bummer because my mother was able to cast magic when she was still 2 years old.

Anyway, my OPness seemed to have been caused by my reincarnation. I'm pretty sure if I was a normal baby, my growth should've been more normal even if my parents are the most powerful dragonian in the world.

Felix was a crybaby. I made him cry too many times. Once when I snatched his toy. Twice, when I tried to scare him by my aura, and I laughed at him because he pissed because of fear. Thrice when I urged him to jump off a cliff to let him have a death-like situation that could fast forward his development in dragon transformation. And so on…

Yes, I'm a really sinister guy… uhmm, I mean girl.

Anyway, I arrived at our secret place. A circular plain in the edge of the flying land of Dragonia. No trees were able to survive here probably because only a portion of land was supporting that particular area. In short, it's a very dangerous area. A prohibited one. That's why it's our secret place. No one dares to get even one step closer, when in fact it's safe. Probably.

Well, I've been here playing around a few hundred times since my birth and nothing really happened.

"Hime-sama!" He finally caught up.

"You're getting slower, Fel."

"It's not true. You're just becoming faster, hime-sama."

"Hmp. Well, whatever!"

I stomped and walked towards the edge of the cliff and looked below. I can't particularly see anything, but there's land over there. The human civilization is over there. The hero might be there!

"Hime-sama!" I was pulled back by Felix so suddenly. "I told you, it's dangerous around here. Let's go back now, please. Before His and Her Highness finds out!"

I pushed him away. What the heck is he saying. It's totally safe here! I've been playing here since I was able to walk.

"No!" Is what I said. Yes, I'm a pretty stubborn kid. Who can blame me? I can't get over this fantasy world! I want to set out an adventure below. But my parents won't even allow me. It's not like I can't understand them. How could they let a 4-year old kid go on a journey?

I've been contemplating whether should I tell them that I was a reincarnated person and was able to remember my past life making me a 30-year old guy inside a 4-year old girl. But, even if this is a fantasy world, to suddenly tell them that… what would their reaction be?

Imagine your kid telling you that he or she's probably as old as you are… It's going to be creepy.

Besides, what would my father do if he knew that I was actually a guy?

So, I decided not to tell them.

It's dangerous.

I positioned myself again, resting on my stomach, while looking below.

"Hime-sama…" I could hear Felix whimpering. Seriously kid, you really have to grow up. But his whimpers were getting on my nerves so I looked at him while I smashed my fist on the ground, wanting to emphasize that he's being noisy.

What happened next both startled me and Felix.

I forgot to control my strength and actually smashed the ground. It crumbled and I fell.

"Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" Was all I could shout. I could her a faint shout of 'Hime-sama!' in the background, but I'm too focused on my fall to even care. I was just born again for 4 years, would I simply die like this?

Again? Dying after falling. Again? Seriously?

I've been falling for about thirty seconds now and I'm already tired of falling. I'm really going to die! Nobody can save me. I've long passed the boarders of Dragonia, and from the monsters living there, no one wants to even step outside. It's taboo for us dragonian people.

No one will save me! No one will!

Embracing my destiny, I calmed down a bit. I stopped shouting and looked at the surroundings. Thinking that before I die, I should probably see what the human world looks like – only to be dumbfounded on what I would see.

Is that skyscrapers?! Seriously? In this era? No, I mean, in this world? In this fantasy world?!

The tall buildings, the busy streets, the cars and airplanes… Wait a second, am I actually in Japan?! No, am I actually on Earth? Did I not reincarnate in a fantasy land but was Earth a fantasy land all along?! What the heck is happening around here?!

I looked at the top of the tallest and largest building in the nearest metropolitan I could see. I don't know, something in there was bugging me.

Then, as if a high spec camera, my vision zoomed in…

"Woah… woah… what the –"

I stopped mid sentence when my eyes caught a glimpse of a familiar figure. I concentrated and it actually zoomed in! I got that hang of this amazing skill in just a second. Wow, me. I'm so proud of you.

Anyway, as I zoomed in, it was really a familiar figure. Sitting on a bench, eating what seems to be lunch. I zoomed again and I finally got to see her face!

That was the girl who kissed me before I died! She was still wearing the same thing. So, she was not a cosplayer after all?! Wait, I still don't know whether I'm really in another world… but!

And as if on cue, she looked at my direction, straight into my eyes. We locked sights for a second but then something large enveloped my small and fragile body. Then, I lost my consciousness. But there's one thing that changed in my life goals right now.

That's to meet the hero.

And to meet that girl.
