Swinging down his old, wooden, trusty hoe on the paven soil, sweat drops as the sun rises above, as he breath with heavy sigh.
Thung
The man still continued plowing the land as he hoe
Thung
Evening the area for his crops to grow
Thung
Fooouuuu~
As he thrust the hoe on the soil, he then strengthen himself up as he breath, sweeping down the dripping sweat, while mesmerizing the work he made.
A wide area of plantation of Carrots, Squash, Potatoes, and Cabbages could be seen, growing with splendor with 7 each of the 4 rows. There's a old tree nearby, and a rundown, but maintained old well near it.
Behind his small farm was a battered wooden house, and a simple, wooden flat form, with a wooden long boat park, just up north of the house.
Piles of chopped woods were stored at a shed, next to the house at left, with a fishing rod, some wooden buckets, and a pile of shattered rocks.
Mesmerizing to his work, he then continued as he took his hoe, and flowed again.
....
Phewww~
Sweeping down the dripping sweet, the man then slowly went over to his house, place his trusty hoe to his shoulder as he carry on.
Crick Crick Crick
"Nghhh..... Hnnnn..... Hupp!... Ahhhhh~"
Sitting down to his rocking chair, that was well aged for years, the man then laid his back as he took his straw hat, revealing a white grayed hair, covering his head
As he placed his hat to his thigh, he then started rocking his old chair, closing his eyes as he hums, tapping his wringled fingers as he silently sang
Tap Tap (the rhythm is 1 2, then 1 2)
Tap Tap
Tap Tap
Tap Tap
Tap Tap
Tap Tap
Tap Tap
Hun Hun Hun Hun hunmm
Hun Hun hunhnmm
Hun Hun Hun Hunhunmm
Hum Hum Hum
He then took something from his pocket, hidden underneath his ragged white shirt, a golden necklace with a silver polish, and hanging with it is an emerald coated gem, with a luster of light blue and red.
Placing it to his palm, his left thumb then caress it. With his lidded eyelids, tired and heavy, he could still see the once tale he once saw. With his dry lips, he still curved a smile as he remember. With a furrowed skin on his hands, he could still felt the once touch, he touched.
With his tired body, he then laid his head as he closes his eyelids, and smile as he greeted, a goodbye than once been a hello.
(???? POV)
I don't really quite remember when it happened, or what happened. My memories were quite hazy, yet it wasn't blurry, though some of those were quite hard to be remembered.
Sigh
Well, clinche it might be, but do you want to hear the story of how it begone? Well, shall we?

Reincarnation, or the state of being reborn again, has been thought in many religions and old folklores, even written in different books and tales, spoken and played.
It was said that death, isn't the end, so when someone dies, we are born again in a different body, different time, and different place, that is reincarnation.
How do I know? Because I, Shin Sora, was reincarnated. I was 25 when it happened, rescuing a trapped family in a hellish fire, that happens 200 years ago, but succumb to death when in place, I was the one who got trapped, and burned alive.
I was then reincarnated back, yes, back, I was reincarnated back to the world where I was once lived, [Centum Fluitantia Insulae], or a hundred floating islands. This world is covered in thousands upon thousands of floating islands, big, small, medium, they all could be seen loitering around the places, though it was called 'hundred floating islands', it wasn't actually a 'hundred', rather a metaphorical terms of many, like how Centipede is called a '100 legs', yet hardly could even get a hundred.
After reincarnating, upon reaching the age of 3, I then suddenly realized, I was summoned.
Anime, novels, Mangas, movies, and games, when someone from other world was called out forth to protect and save, to conquer and to nourish, to lead and vanquish the world it was called out for, it's referred as summoning, and I was one of them, Shin Sora, age 24, a 3rd year college student, died by hit and run, when I save a little girl from being rammed by a ten wheeler truck, ending my life as I was run over after being hit.
Lucky isn't it? Not just that I was reincarnated in the same world, in the future, but I was also summoned, with the same name, same face, same life, and same build, I, Shin Sora, was both summoned and reincarnated, in this world.
Shin Sora is a Korean Japanese name, Shin means true or new in Japanese, while in Korean, it's faith, belief, and trust, a girl's name by the way, while Sora means sky. My mother was Japanese, while my father was korean, they both fell in each other when my father visited Japan, and meet my mother in a bar, the one with just drinks and no sexual services.
My father was an engineer, while my mother was a bartender. When I was born, 3 years after marriage, my mother quit her job and took her time to nurture me, I am the only child they have, which took them a massive hit when they found out I died.
In this world, my father was a helsman in one of the big trading company, while my mother was an adventurer. Fate pulled its string, as when my mother was renting in a near by village, after defending it, she then meet father, who took his day off in that island. Like how most shoujo Manga goes, they fell in each other, a love at first sight.
4 years after marriage, they then have me, their sole child. I was name after an epic hero from a tale, Shin, the conqueror of the isle. Shin is from a giant race, holding a large sword on its back, with an armor polish in silver coat, and some spikes. Its skin is painted in dark red with black coat, as if a burning charcoal. Shin is a person with pride, dignity, and might, though shin's gender wasn't revealed in any of its tale, but by its name, I think its a woman.
It is really a wonder how I came to be, but as I believe in a parallel world, where their 2, 3, maybe even 4 of you out there, living, existing, and trying, so I wasn't that surprised, especially when I put of nowhere got drag in this fantastical realm
Sometimes dice doesn't roll 6 all the time, so when I was reborn in this world, my parents could be hardly called as one. My father is a drunkard, while my mother was too, they both especialize in seduction and such, vexing any people they took their eye on, just their opposite gender of course.
My mother once worked in a bar, while my father is a traveler, both woe anyone they think that could raise them up, even a royalty, or a noble couldn't even get away from their clutch. They meet each other during a voyage in a certain island, they didn't fell, just saw opportunity. Both then used each other's skill, and was able to lived in quite, fancy life, but it didn't last long.
My mother accidentally slept with an engaged man to a royal woman, while my father went for the kingdom's princess, both were then chased out, and was ordered to be killed, with a bounty that no one dares not to look.
Both then escaped and run away to a distant island, leaving their lavish life behind. 5 years of hiding, miracle or misfortune, I then came. Both were quite dumb in terms of parenting, but none were slackers to it. Mom can't cook, nor father could clean, and none of them are household expert, neither a baby sitter. When I reached 5, sleeping in our room, mom then left, while father then followed right after. 2 years pass, yet even their shadows didn't came back.
I give up on hoping on them really, so I live my whole life by my own, really thankful I still have my memories of my past, so I was able to procure anything I needed, and make what I wanted.
The house is rundown and small, but the only shed I could call home, even with this small build, I tried to make a small garden beside our house. The island is merely the sizes of 2 3LDK room, with a house as wide as a 1K room. It has a small well next to the garden, with a small, still growing tree.
For 3 years on my own, I trained, I lived, and I tried, that one day, I may be able to venture this new lands, hopefully though.

Chop Chop Chop Chop
Slicing into pieces the Potatoes, and Cabbages he harvested, he then placed it inside a large, yet thin, metal bowl.
Tunk Tunk Tunk
He then took a couple of water from the bucket beside him, and started cleaning them
Crackle Crackle Crackle
Shhhzzhhhhh
After pouring out the water from the bowl, he then went outside as he carried it. He then took out a wooden ladle, opened the pot, and took a mouthful from the boiling dish.
Sipppp
"... Need some salt"
He then went back inside and carry a wooden container, just a size of a teen's fist. He then opened its lid and took a pinch or 3 of the salt inside it, and seasoned the dish he was cooking. He then added the vegetables he cut.
Crackle Crackle Crackle Crackle Crackle
4 years has passed since his parents left
Tngk Crackle Crackle Crackle
But the once child was now long gone.

Laying his head to the wooden chair he made, he then looked up above, and watched the scenery of the evening time.

And close his eyelids as he waited for his dish to be cook.
