Eyes open. A soft, childlike voice whispers, "Where am I?"
Kazuki looks down, noticing the changes in his body. "Ah, my hands, my legs... What happened to them? They’re so small."
Confused, he glances around the room. "What is this place?" He walks towards a mirror.
"Who are you?" Kazuki says in a shocked voice, staring at his reflection.
"Reincarnation... Did I die and become a child? The last thing I remember is driving the car and falling off the mountain."
The house he finds himself in is a two-story relic of a bygone era, situated in a quiet, remote corner of the countryside.
Despite showing signs of neglect, its worn facade and overgrown surroundings give it undeniable character.
Suddenly, a maid enters the room, her face a mix of shock, disbelief, and relief. She rushes to Kazuki, hugging him tightly.
"Thank God, Master! Thank God you are safe. I was so worried about you," she says, her voice trembling with tears.
"Ah, who are you?" Kazuki asks, bewildered.
"(Crying a bit louder) Master, did you forget me?" the maid asks, her voice filled with anguish.
"I don't remember much about what happened to me," Kazuki replies, his voice tinged with confusion and concern.

"Master, you were playing in your room, and I was doing my work when you suddenly tried to come downstairs and fell off the stairs," said the maid sadly.
"When I heard your crying, I rushed to see you. You fainted, and I was so worried," she added, her voice trembling.
"Doctor! Are there no doctors here?" asked Kazuki, a sense of urgency in his voice.
The maid's thoughts betrayed her despair. "How can I tell him that we don't have enough money and, being in the countryside,
there are no doctors? His father doesn’t want him alive, so we can't leave this place," she thought sadly.
"Hello? Are there no doctors here?" Kazuki asked again, more insistently.
"Master, we live in the countryside, so there are no doctors here. They are only available in the cities," said the maid gently.
"Okay," Kazuki replied, suspicion creeping into his mind. "Can you tell me more about me and this place?"
"Alright, I shall tell you everything," said the maid.
After Some Time
"So, now I understand. I am the second son of a duke in the nation of Eldoria, and this is my room.
Her name is Beatrice," Kazuki recounted, piecing together his new reality. "I am 7 years old and have low magic powers, known as mana.
In this world, there are magicians, but I have low mana, maybe because I am not from this world."
"In this world, skills determine an individual’s future. I possess Sword Master, Hard Worker, Quick Learner, and Physical Boost skills," Kazuki continued.
"So that means, I am a noble with low mana. In this world, the level of magic determines your rank. My parents don’t care about me and never visit.
Oh, by the way, my name is Kael Aran."
"My previous life wasn’t great either. I was an orphan with no family or friends but eventually rose to a respectable position.
I wonder what happened there. Liliam! Liliam, what happened to her and me?" Kazuki pondered.
"I will not give up on my life this time. I will live and make it through this life," Kael declared loudly and confidently.
So what turns will Kael's life take, let us see in the upcoming chapters.
