part-1:
[2 Years Later]
"krish… krish!"
A gentle yet firm voice called out.
"Coming!" I replied from the backyard, still crouched near the flowerbeds. These plants were strange, many unlike anything from my previous world.
My name in this world is Krishna... Renos Veldor Krishna.
Somehow, my name here is the same as my previous life. Only Krishna was added...
"Finally, you're here! Breakfast is ready, come and eat," the voice scolded.
It belonged to Mira, our housekeeper and my mother's helper — a beast woman in her fifties, reliable and kind.
In this world, demi-humans live longer, so she still looks like she is in her 20s.
"Where's mother?" I asked as I stepped inside.
"She's waiting for you."
Sure enough, when I entered the dining room, she was already seated. A beautiful woman in her twenties, radiant and cheerful as always.
"Ah! Good morning, dear!" she greeted brightly.
"…Good morning, mother," I replied, my voice calm but a little cold.
Her smile faltered. A shadow passed over her expression.
"...hic… hic…" She let out a small sulk, shoulders trembling.
Ah, crap. I went too far again.
"Good morning, my dear mother!" I corrected quickly, forcing warmth into my voice.
Her eyes lit up instantly. "Aww! My dear son… how can you be so cute?"
Next thing I knew, she had me in a crushing embrace.
"Can't breathe… can't breathe!" I choked out while she smothered me with "love."
That was my mother, Sera Veldor. Cheerful, affectionate, but quick to sulk if I acted distant.
Tough love in every sense of the word.
After breakfast, I escaped to the rooftop — my secret place.
Ever since I was one and a half, my old shut-in habits carried over. I buried myself in books, observing this new world rather than exploring it.
As a scientist and engineer, I can't miss out on the wonders of a completely new world.
Mother often worried, sometimes dragging me into the garden, urging me to make friends. But the scars of bullying from my past life still clung to me.
At that time, Aisha stood by my side..
If I said I don't miss her, it would be a lie.
One day, while wandering among the flowers, something unusual caught my eye — a faint, green shimmer in the air.
"What's that?" I muttered.
Father, Navir Veldor, was nearby, practicing with his sword. When I pointed at the shimmer, his eyes widened.
"Eh? …Ah, no. I don't see anything," he answered, voice stiff.
{ How is that possible? How can he see it this early…?}
So he couldn't see it. But it was plain as day to me.
Strange. Very strange.
And somehow… exciting.
"They are growing very well," I admired the plants that were thriving and brimming with life as I watered them.
The reason I'm this hooked to them is due to my instincts to study science and new things from my previous life.
Even from my previous life,
yes, the plants I planted were unlike any plants I saw on Earth.
They have different flowers and fruits.
[nighttime]
For now, I'm fine with this world.
Many new things to see, making my science nerd trait glimmer with excitement.
Wait... I'm accepting myself as a science nerd?...
Whatever the..
Well, the only problem is
weird sounds coming from my parents' room.
"They sure are lively."
How lively my parents are at night.
It bothered me every time they are at it.
I may still be a kid with 3y's in his pocket, but I'm still a virgin 30 y/o at core.
Yes, I'm a virgin.
Who would want to marry a shut-in, good-for-nothing scum?...
Even Aisha, who was lively and more friendly to me than anyone...flat out said
'Who would want to marry a loner and a shut-in like me?'
At that time, I didn't care...but now that I think about it...it somehow hurts...
Now I understand why those manga nerds claim that reality hurts.
Well, while they are at it, I sneaked into the room that was on the roof.
With a rather different book than the usual flower ones.
Yes, I get to cherish flower books after reincarnating in this world.
But this one is important.
titled
『GHI & mysteries』
It was a world unlike Earth.
6 times larger than Earth,
Yes, this world was larger than Earth.
This world has 4 continents and 2 super-continents.
『1.seren,2.ghaelmar,3.ashmere and 4.sylmere twin continents』are the continents.
The continents cover 6-8 regions each, making 30 regions in total
『1.edrasia and 2. Luminaria 』
Luminaria has 3 continents with 7 regions each.
Making 21 regions.
The super-continent Eurasia, the longest among super-continents, has 4 continents, with the smallest having 5 regions, to the largest having twelve.
The place we are living is in the Cindra continent in Edrasia
『cindra』 was the only one ruled by an emperor.
The sole emperor of Cindra and ruler of the Tharion Empire.
Kael Tharion.
He is like a mighty conqueror who is said to be the only emperor who unified the continent, Cindra.
He reigns over all of the twelve regions in Cindra.
We belong to the region of Starmerch.
It was a left-out region that was managed only by the farmers.
It was an agricultural region that was also the source of merchant attraction and the agricultural food supplier to most regions in Cindra.
Most of the agricultural products that were sold in the capital city were from starch.
Moving on from about the world.
The mystery about it is magic.
The book tells magic as an equivalent to the oxygen we breathe.
Every living being in this world has mana.
Mana is the fundamental concept in magic.
This mana keeps control over the world and its magic.
There are also monsters and calamities
. The people who use mana to perform magic are called a『mage』
just like a fantasy world.
Ah! This was a fantasy world...hahaha.
and the ones who use it to enhance their body and connect it with swords are called 『sword master』
For a person to be able to use magic, they need to sense mana as a prerequisite.
So it means I also have it?.
I put the book down and looked outside the window.
Ah!
I see it.
The green shimmer in the air.
I can still see it.
Ah! Now I notice there is also something brown flowing just above the ground, followed by a blue one.
"I-i think that was mana."
But the book mentioned 'sense' mana.
Is seeing it considered sensing it?
Maybe.
After that, I closed the door and rushed toward the book.
And started reading the book again.
There it said, to use magic, you need to visualize and spell something called『incantation』.
It never said incantation is a must, but what's necessary was creativity.
Yeah.
Now then, let's give it a try.
I sat in the solar plexus and closed my eyes.
Feel the mana, imagine the element you want to create.
The first element that came to my mind was famous from Earth.
"organic chemistry"
『carbon』imagine carbon's atomic number and atomic mass.
Good carbon is now visible.
Imagine it being in your hand.
Apply pressure to it. By passing mana through your arm.
Apply more....
*thud*
hmmm.
I opened my eyes and saw it.
A raw crystal.
Lying on the ground.
That was my first magic.
『crystal magic』.
