Hi, my name is Elfan. I used to live on Earth, unemployed and staying with my parents. It's not that I was a NEET or anything; I was actively looking for a job. However, in my hometown, landing a job often required either paying off the company or knowing someone in a hiring position. Coming from humble beginnings, I had neither the connections nor the money to secure employment.

As time passed, I sank into a deep depression. I lost the will to live, and suicidal thoughts began to creep in. I was exhausted by the pervasive corruption and felt embarrassed to even meet my friends who had succeeded in life. My existence became increasingly lonely and sad. All I wanted was to sleep and never wake up.

One day, I fell asleep and when I woke up, I couldn't get up from the bed. My hands were so small, and I had no idea what was going on. I saw a beautiful dark-skinned woman with pointy ears take me into her arms. I wanted to ask her, "Who are you and what's going on here?" However, I couldn't use my voice, or rather, I couldn't talk for some reason.

This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.

She breastfed me and then put me back down on the bed. When she picked me up, I tried to look around the room. I could only catch a glimpse, but I could tell it was small. So far, I realized we might not be rich, or perhaps it's just my room that's small since I'm a child. Maybe I am a prince or a sage or someone important, right? I'll have my own harem and enjoy this life to compensate for my past one. I can't wait to enjoy my time here.

Wait, wait, wait. Why are Mom's ears pointy? Is that normal? I also saw her mumbling something and the room lit up. Is it magic? Maybe I'm not a prince but a hero who came to save this world from a demon lord. Besides, I can easily figure out that this is a new world due to the pointy ears, the light from Mother's hand, and the language I cannot understand. Yes, I must be the chosen hero, right?
