Awaking next to a fireplace crackling with life on a soft blanket, I used the moment of tranquility to attempt to understand as to what was going on and to understand my surroundings with the help of my eyes which had been cleared from mud.
I wasn't cold anymore, the warm atmosphere of the wooden house made me feel safe and I cuddled against the blanket, greedily absorbing the warmth.
Unfortunately, I was only able to have the time to think about the warmth as a old man had suddenly entered my field of vision.
He sported a long white beard and a similar white hair which was tied up and waving slightly along with his movement towards me.
Was this the old man that had helped me to escape from the unbearable coldness? I suppose I should thank him for doing so.
"Taink?"
What was going on with my tongue, it's seems that I could not move it the way I wanted to.
While I was confused, he had walked closer and I then realized his unusually large size. Unexpectedly, his big arms grabbed at my sides gently and he picked me up, only then did I get the chance to take a good look at myself.
I was currently in the small blanket provided, my body tiny and bare.
I'm.......a child?
Confused thoughts ran through me and I turned to my memories, all of which was blur except one, the memory I had hanged myself in.
Am I dreaming? Did I not die?
As I was lost in my thoughts, the old man had already placed me onto a chair.
His big hands were now holding a spoon with a clear liquid that seemed to be soup.
"?????? ??? ???? ???"
This....is for me?
Looking up from the spoon that was nudging at my lips, I noticed the worried look on the old man, why was he so flustered? Ah, my hands.....its unusually emaciated isn't it, despite my blurry memories, I knew that a baby's arm are normally chubby, ringed with fat.
Suddenly remembering the agony of dying, I hurriedly chomped down on the spoon, gratefully receiving the food whilst swallowing my pride along with it.
Quickly, the whole bowl was finished. As drowsiness started to claim me again, I look up to the old man's relieved expression and tried my best to convey my thanks.
If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
"Gawooo."

After waking up yet again the next day, this time with more energy than yesterday, I spent more time on attempting to ascertain the situation.
This definitely isn't a dream, my half-baked deduction yesterday is wrong.
So what is really going on?
How did I wake up in a rainy place with the body of a infant?
Like yesterday, the old man decided on picking me up as I was thinking, this time he headed to the fire place instead of the dining table, waving his right hand, a spark ignited on the wood in the fireplace.
...how?
Advanced technology? No...its real fire, then could it be.......magic?
Where....what?
My death, my body, a language that I've never heard of.
Suddenly everything clicked together and a word came into my mind.
The word was 'Reincarnation.'.
I looked around, causing my guess to be even more reliable.
There wasn't a single electric appliance in the house. Even though there was such cases in Earth, but with the earlier trick from the old man, the lack of appliances shown that where I was was not the futureundefined[/url], but another world.
It couldn't be.....right? How can such things happen? It wasn't possible....but all the facts here was proof.
Should I be happy? I don't know. But my memories...........eh? Another part seemed to be clear now....? I was involved in a car accident and....it seems someone important died......leading to my suicide? I wonder who that person was...I'm sorry but I can't remember you...
But this kind of situation of being reborn into a world, a fantasy world with magic, I'm sure it'll be fun.
Once again, I was presented with a bowl of soup by the old man which I had gratefully finished and soon after, I had fell asleep peacefully as I awaited the next day of my life.
-------------------------
I decided on writing a magi's grandson ff. The chapters are rather similar now but it'll branch out into a different story in the future now my little MC is too young to change the future.
I'm sorry for my poor writing skills
