1 Reborn into a Simpler Life

Why is being a human so fucking overly complicated? I have asked myself that question almost everyday since I became aware of how ridiculous we all are. Human civilization is based on lies we all tell ourselves to maintain some semblance of order. Laws, justice, governance, its all a fucking joke and everyone living in this system is the butt of the joke. We spend the majority of our time worrying about the perceptions that others have about us. Our overly convoluted social system has become a burden of stress and anxiety that causes many to lose their minds.

Now I know you are probably thinking who the hell is this completely jaded loser who thinks he is profound but is actually pointing out things everyone is aware of but just to busy to actually care about? The good news is that you don't actually have to care who I am. Why you ask? Because I am already dead.

Yes that's right I was writing my manifesto on how sucky Earth is when all of a sudden a sinkhole appeared below my apartment building and caused the roof to collapse on my head.

Thus ended my shitty earth life and caused me to go on the rant that you just heard.

- Analyzing desires of the host -

- Detecting extreme hatred for overly evolved societies from host -

- Would you like to be reborn in your ideal state? Y or N? -

A voice suddenly rang in my head with this sequence of sentences. It seems as if some higher power has decided that I get another chance at life if the question at the end is to believed at all.

Suddenly the urge to say No enters my mind. Why even humor whatever overly powerful being is pulling the strings behind this option that I am now given.

However, even as the wicked thought flashes through my mind I immediately snuff it out. Why waste a perfectly good opportunity to actually enjoy life when it is clearly being designed especially with me in mind?

"Alright random voice, I guess my answer is Yes" I quickly say out loud.

- System processing, Host has selected the Y option -

-Transmigrating Host to new world-

Suddenly everything around me suddenly goes dark.

Next thing I know I awake to a myriad of different sensations. Warmth, tightness, pushing, and then a blast of cold air assail me all at once and my body suddenly begins to cry out involuntarily at all the changes in sensation. My mind freezes up for a second and then I finally begin to process what just happened. It seems that I have just been born. I have been implanted into the body of a newborn baby. Being aware and conscious at this stage of life is a new sensation for me and I try to open my eyes to get a read on my situation but it takes a long time for me to adjust.

The moment my eyes finally focus though I am dumbfounded by the sight in front of me. Two large green humanoids are staring down at my face in wonderment and love. At least that what I assume because their features are hard for me to read. They are without a doubt not human. From my previous life's experiences I can kinda guess that I have been reborn into a family of Orcs. One of the most popular type of fantasy creatures, Orcs are known for their savagery and lack of human subtlety.

Haha that damn system that sent me here really figured it out. I have been reborn into a life that is much simpler than the one I came from! Now I don't have to wade through the bog of social interaction that is humanity! Orcs are a simpler species who solve their issues through wanton violence and conquest. Now I can live my life simply and to the fullest!

Sometimes dreams really do come true.
