"This is me, isn't it?" standing in front of a mirror I ask myself as I look into it, a guy with shining silver hair and ocean blue eyes are reflected and the face is so beautiful that it can easily give an actor a run for his money, I mean beautiful not handsome, somehow the feeling I get is that of a ethereal beauty than that of a handsome hunk.
"Was I reincarnated or something?" I don't remember anything at all, living in the modern world and having a repetitive lifestyle I had nothing that could be considered unique about me, except for my hidden hobby. Playing Otome games or commonly referred to as GalGe, games which were meant for the female demographic.
"But still to think I died huh, it really is hard to accept. I mean where is my Truck-kun or a meeting with a goddess who gives me rule breaking skills anyway?"
Heading down the stair of the two storey building I was in I heard a voice of a small girl calling from below "Dan you are late! Just how much do you think I'll tolerate your laziness huh! I had to all the hard work again, act like a man for once will you!" So this body's name is Dan, but what do I do? I don't remember anything about this world or anything. How am I gonna explain that I'm not 'Dan' but just a passing by reincarnator. Have no choice huh. Should I do the amnesia act? But it definitely is going to hurt, ahh, what should I do? Well no helping it I guess, here goes nothing. Saying that in my mind I acted as if I tripped and fell down the stairs.
'Damn that hurt'. Just what is with this flooring it's harder than normal wood.
With my consciousness fading I hear the same girl's voice screaming and running towards me while calling for her mother.
----
I woke up feeling lethargic, as if I weighed a ton and my head felt like it was hit by a hammer. I guess the floor was as hard as iron, I've never seen such strong wood though as I tried to get up from the bed I heard a voice, it was an old man wearing a greenish blue robe "You better not wake up kid you just fell down the stairs and are lucky someone found you or else I'm afraid even a high end potion would not have been of any help, forget the low grade one I gave you"

Ohh, so he gave me a Low grade potion huh, now I understand, not. What potion? What does he mean by high and low grade? Is he talking about some drug that's going to expire and a pill that costs about a hundred dollars? For now let's ask him shall we.
"Excuse me, what do you mean by Low grade potion? Is it costly or anything? I don't have much money on me but I promise I'll pay you back one day so please let me go for the day"
The old man was stunned, his already white skin became paler and paler and in a small voice asked me "Kid do you really not know what a low grade potion is?"
'Here it is, finally, all the pain I suffered after reincarnation can finally be useful'
In an apologetic tone I said "I'm really sorry but I have no idea what you are talking about and for some reason I'm not able to remember anything could you please help me?"
The old man who was turning even paler after my words, was about to fall after his knees gave out but suddenly a girl with auburn colored hair and hazel eyes came into the room.
'She was the girl who called me lazy and lashed out at me, isn't she?'
"Dan!!! You are finally awake, oh my god I was so scared when you fell down the stairs do you really not see where you are going? What would you have done if you got hurt or worse? Do you know how worried we all were? Hey! Why the hell aren't you saying anything? Is there something in my face?" The girl kept on ranting with no end,though with her voice clacking and teary eyes. I was about to interject when the old man who somehow got some strength back turned towards the girl, and said "Girl I think this boy here has lost his memory"
Now the girl was stunned, she kept alternating her gaze between me and the old man after about a minute of staring at me she finally asked. "Dan, you really don't remember me? Dan, tell me you remember me"
"I'm sorry miss but I really don't remember you" I replied in an overly polite tone.
"No way!! Old man, tell me what happened? Why did he lose his memories? How do I get them back? Tell me!"
"Girl he just fell down the stairs for now leave him to rest you can ask about it later you should not agitate him right now, he needs to rest plenty" saying that he left the room while dragging the reluctant auburn haired girl away with him.
"Ah, man that girl was so loud I think I was gonna die there. What's with that girl anyway?" Seeing the girl leave made me feel elevated. I couldn't contemplate on what exactly happened to me and now that I was here I should get my priorities straight but before all that.
"Guess I need to know more about this world as much as I can"
