*Bonk Bonk~ Crash!
I suddenly jolted awake, where is this place? I looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings. I’m sitting up on a plain hard bed, covered with only a thin sheet of blanket.
“ouchh”-
This hammering pain inside my head, I desperately rub my temple, which did nothing to help alleviate the throbbing pain.
My hand touched something resembling a headdress? More importantly…I looked down at my body, a neat prim and proper maid outfit? I can vividly remember returning home from uni, dead tired from pulling a week worth of continuous all-nighters due to it being finals week.
I see, I was crossing the street when suddenly this electric scooter, i-it ran me over! Does that mean I died from getting hit by a mere scooter? Me, a male university student at peak physicality who had to skip the gym for a week to prepare for finals died, just like that? N-no! This is unacceptable, usually in transmigration stories, the MCs at least gets to ran over by a particularly huge truck, while trying to do some heroic acts like saving a child from being ran over!
In those same stories, the MCs would inevitably be met with powerful gods or goddesses who apologizes and reincarnates them into fantasy worlds with OP perks, then told to save those worlds while building their own harem along the way, right? Then what would be the fate of a pitiful MC who died foolishly without committing any heroic deed?
I hastily focused on my attire again, maid outfit…not a butler? Then these suspiciously lumps are breasts? Seriously? I quickly placed my hand down to my crotch to confirm something.
Holy shit, its empty, it’s…gone. My little dragon…
I quickly jumped out of bed, only to trip over the blanket and fell flat onto my face . “Urgh” An unfamiliar, soft feminine groan unconsciously came from my own mouth. My body felt so heavy, probably because of these two new addition of fat blobs on the chest area…
Mirror, I need a mirror, ahh there seems to be none in the room. On that note, I have to postpone the act of checking my own facial features, it seems like I have somehow possessed this body inside an unfamiliar world, as I cannot seem to recall ever encountering any games nor novels regarding the main character being placed inside a maid’s body.
I tried recollecting my thoughts to see if there is at least some clues regarding this female body’s identity or lingering memories… there’s none?!
I’m practically a blank slate except for memories of my life in the other world, which I had already died in…
“Fuck me” An extremely vulgar language not befitting the melodic voice came out of my mouth. By the way, this room seems to be very sparsely decorated, emphasis on the very. There’s simply a wooden bed, a tiny tattered closet, a single wooden chair that seems like it was about to fall at any moment, and a plain shabby table.
I slowly made my way to the wooden closet, while rubbing my reddened knees.
*Creeeaak
The closet door opens with a painful groan. Inside it was…nothing! Well to be precise, there were two shabby looking sets of female clothing, befitting that of the medieval era. It seems like I’ve been transmigrated into a fantasy world most likely within the swords and magic genre.
Aside from the shabby commoner-looking outfits, there was a spare set of new-ish looking maid outfit, a metallic heart shaped necklace, and no mirror in sight, perhaps mirrors are expensive in this world?
I shut the closet doors, finally redirecting my attention to my current figure, let's see, my hair is black and silky smooth, so beautiful it could probably make the cut for a shampoo commercial back in the modern world. it is fashioned into a bun typically seen on maids, the length if untied, reaches up to my butts. Whoa, speaking of butts, the body I’m currently possessing are adorned with round and shapely bottoms, connected to fair hips, blessed with a small waist and ample breasts that looks to be about D-cups, not to mention the bright flawless skin without a single blemish nor imperfection.
This body has long slender legs, which despite being covered by white stockings, you can just assume that they’re elegant and slender. It seems like I’m possessing the body of a maid with maxed out beauty stat.
A thought occured to me, if I’m in this beautiful maid’s body, who is most likely a commoner, how high is the possibility of the plot line involves the maid being taken advantaged of? Or perhaps, being a capture target inside some heroic adventure harem building novel?
Either way, wouldn't the end eventually leads to me being dominated by another man?! Fuck, calm down, there’s also the chances of me being the main character, the chance of that seems rather slim to me, unless I have some sort of special abilities. Only one way to find out...
“Status Window” I whispered, in true isekai fashion. *Beep. A small screen appears in front of my eyes, hovering with translucent background. I nearly broke out into a dance as the Status Window’s presence confirms that at least, I’m inside a world that follows the stereotypical rule of stat points, perhaps with the possibility of raising those stats. “Hmm for now let’s see how many special abilities I was blessed with….”
What the…
Lyrina Level 1 Race Human Age 16 HP 10/10 Mana 5/5 Str 1 Vit 1 Agi 1 Int 5 Luck 0 Charm 10 Skill None Note from a certain Goddess "Goodluck, Teehee~"
Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.
It’s incredibly shitty! According to isekai world standards, isn’t this even more pitiful than a slime’s? 0 luck, 0 skill, and Goddess’s note which seems to convey nothing but mockery…what a useless scummy bitch!! In a fit of anger, I slammed my hand onto the shabby looking table.
*Bang! “Oww oww! My hand!”
I tearfully massaged my reddened right palm, due to my strength stat being near nonexistent, even this stupid table is stronger than my body…why is my charm stat the highest?
I’m truly cooked, I had hoped that it was one of those stories where you can struggle as much as you want by fighting your way up the social hierarchy or perhaps becoming a female heroine that would, through sheer power, is capable of forcing the world to submit to her will.
But looking at my stats, those glimmers of hope were completely crushed. No skill=No talent, No talent=background character with possibly no influence over matters…
*Knock knock
The sound of someone knocking could be heard from outside the door. I took a deep breath and steeled myself to face this new, completely unfamiliar world.
*Creeeak
“How, may I hel- “ I poked my head out of the half-opened door.
“Lyrina! How long are you going to laze around inside your room! Are you thinking of slacking off, despite having been here for only 2 days? The church bell for 6am rang a while ago!”
-To be met a stern looking old lady in similar maid fashion, except hers appeared to be a more toned done version, with less frills. Her skirt, completely covers down to her ankles, unlike mine which barely extends over my knees. This lady is most likely the head maid, judging by her commanding tone and the way she composes herself.
Bowing respectfully, I apologized and followed her, making my face as humble and remorseful as I possibly could, or atleast I think I look very pitiable right now, can’t quite tell since I haven’t seen my own face, yet.
The head maid opens her mouth, perhaps to scold me some more for being a lazy tardy bum, only emits a sigh and beckon me to follow her.
Well, at least she seems to not be the evil, verbally abusive kind, contrary to the common trope befitting similar stories involving maids.
According the the head maid, Lyrina (my new name in this God-knows-what world) has no choice but to work inside Duke Dawnspear’s estate thanks to my widowed father, being both an alcoholic and a gambling addict, incurring so much debts of which he has no means of paying off.
Except to of course, sell me into service for the Duke’s Household to repay his debt, his! The audacity of this cheap bastard...
As I swallowed my anger at the bastard of a father whose face I don’t even know, the head maid continued explaining various facts to me. Specifically, regarding my duties inside the estate, what to be expected of me, some general rules and protocols a maid should follow etc.
This Dude Dawnspear or whatever is one of the three most important nobles in the kingdom, second only to the Royal family, the King and Queen and their litter of Princes and Princesses.
She heavily emphasised on the importance of the Dawnspear being an important military family whose authority involves leading the majority of the Kingdom’s army, and is directly responsible for protecting the Crown, the Kingdom's national defense, as well of majority of its offensive forces.
With the current head of the house, Duke Rafford Dawnspear, a widowed sword master, currently away at the Royal Capital for whatever noble works he’s tasked with.
Rafford Dawnspear, spawned 3 children, all males, respectively aged 2-3 years apart.
The oldest being Rygon Dawnspear, 22 years of age, personally trained by Rafford the sword master in the art of turning enemies into minced meat. This dude is currently captain of one of the Kingdom’s 4 divisions of Armored Knights, a result of his achievements racked up during the decades long Demon-Human Alliance War which ended in ceasefire 2 years ago.
A testament to his physical prowess considering Rygon, participated in the war immediately right after he had his coming of age party. Or so the head maid claims enthusiastically, each words containing tremendous pride.
22 and already captain of a knight division? I’m pretty sure this bastard ranked up through nepotism, with his father being a high and mighty Duke. I scoffed inwardly.
The second oldest, Irgo Dawnspear, 20 years old, also famous for being gifted with the sword, albeit a bit tamer in comparison. He has a knack for numbers and finance, being an Academy graduate, thus working directly under Duke Rafford to manage the dukedom’s finance as well as its military logistic and expenditure.
Despite not participating directly in the War, Irgo has proven himself to be capable young man by volunteering into the Kingdom’s elite group of math nerds to help reorganize the Kingdom’s finance and post-war rebuilding efforts.
In other words, this is the guy who handles everyone’s paycheck. Eh? I’m not getting paid since I have that bastard’s debt to pay off? Yippie! I barely refrained from facepalming myself in front of the head maid.
The youngest is Eidrich Dawnspear, aged 17 . Wait, why is his name so ominous sounding, reminds me of a certain video game’s boss… Anyway, This Eidrich guy is currently living at this estate, as he is yet had his coming of age ceremony, thus not deemed old enough to venture out into this dangerous world, where war between demon and human could resume at any unforeseen moment.
Eidrich, being the youngest and stuck at home, has neither contribution nor achievement under his belt. Thus, he is probably considered as nothing more than a little cub, by the Dawnspear’s standard of human monstrosity.
According to the head maid, Eidrich is still undergoing private tuitions at the estate. Not that it’s something I care about, guys like him tends to feel overshadowed by their overachieving brothers, ending up with a twisted personality. This is probably my prejudice against noble-born brats who have everything handed out to them.
The head maid diligently educates me on the background of important figures of the house, perhaps similar to a game tutorial? It’s a shame she didn’t say much about the state of the world though, so I’m still clueless on matters such as the frequently mentioned ‘Demon-Human Alliance War’. So this confirms that there are demons, elves, demi-human amongst various kind of other races beside humans? I wonder as to the reason for my transmigration, into a woman’s body no less, I would have gladly accepted a dwarf or any other race that are suited for battle. Hey, at least ask for my consent first you cursed Goddess!
“Now that I’ve explained the necessary informations to you to know, in order to not be clueless regarding the young masters of this house, it is now time for you to diligently learn and perform your duties” The head maid turn around to face me with a smile on her face.
”Yes madam” I said with a bow, making sure to maintain a straight face despite my brain to process the info dump.
“Very well, follow me and I shall work you to the bones in repayment for the kindness that your family has received, perhaps let’s begin with cleaning the main house’s 15 toilets” I nearly choked and broke my serious poker face.
Important world-saving roles my ass, it’d be a miracle if I made it through the day.
