All I could see was, well, nothing.

I didn't get a heaven, nor a hell.

Or I guess, this is hell.

If you were stuck in darkness for the rest of eternity, you would consider it a hell worse than hell.

*Sigh* Well, at least my brother will be happy from now on.

Or, at least I hope so.

A voice.

For some reason, I can hear a voice.

So it's not eternal darkness.

But that probably means I'm going to hell, since I was a kind of a bad person in my previous life.

Wait a second, that voice, it's a woman's voice.

It's a bit muffled, but, even so, I could say that she's not speaking Japanese.

English? No, it doesn't sound like it.

But it does sound European.

I can also hear another woman struggling.

She's panting and screaming.

She sounds young, a teenager maybe?

Oh, I can see some light.

It's getting brighter.

Just a little more.

As I finally saw some light, I got flashed by how bright it was, and I fluttered my eyes close.

When I finally adjust to the brightness, I open my eyes.

It's a middle aged woman, in some sort of European villager clothing.

She's smiling?

She's speaking, like I said, most likely European.

Oh, I'm getting carried.

It was a young woman, around nineteen or twenty years old, with short, red hair, emerald green eyes, and she's carrying me.

Virgin me couldn't hope to relate.

This time it's a young man, around the same age as the girl based on looks.

Red hair, but a lighter shade, and ocean blue eyes.

Red must be a common hair color in this world.

Wait a second, he's saying something.

Lili...Lilinet?

Is that my name?

If so, I must be a girl, since that's pretty feminine.

Also, where is this place?

Based on how the place looks, it must be pretty rural.

Stone walls, with wood supports and roof.

Either that, or I was sent to medieval times.

Since it is reincarnation, also can't scratch off the possiblity of it being another world.

I speculate that due to their hair color.

Red hair is possible, but the shade of red their hair is, I think it's impossible in our world.

I'm being passed back to my "mother."

Her skin is so soft, and pale.

Unlike the skin tone of Japanese people, which is brownish, her skin is really pale.

This means were in a northern country, or at least a country with a colder climate than Japan.

Oh, she seems like she's calling someone over.

A young girl?

Around three or four, more likely she's four years old.

Her hair is the mix between both of their hair colors shades, and it's pretty long.

She has a a bluish hue on her green eyes.

That would make her my older sister.

Virgin me couldn't relate whatsoever.

***

It's been two months since then. 

I can understand their language now. 

I can also read.

However, I cannot speak coherently nor can I write.

Why you may ask?

I'm a two month old baby, that's why.

The physical limitations that comes with age is rough.

I may be able understand them, however, I cannot relay what I want them to know.

And no matter where you are, communication is important.

Communication leads to further knowledge.

And knowledge of this place is something I need to know.

And speaking of this place, turns out it actually is another world.

The reason I know, is because there is magic.

I often see my "mother", who I found out was named Lize , light our fireplace using magic.

"Wah, it's getting cold, isn't it? Must be winter getting closer."

My "father", Reiss, exclaimed as he came back from collecting fire wood.

"Could you light the fireplace Lize?"

"Sure, wait a second."

Lize grabbed her wand from her coat pocket, and started to chant.

"Oh ruler of flames, bring upon me gentle solace, a small ember to foster a warming fire: Wisp!"

The firewood then started to smolder underneath, and slowly turned into a large flame.

"Thanks Lize."

Reiss then kissed Lize on her lips before relaxing next to the fire on his chair.

Despite being so young, sometimes he acts like an old man.

I saw all of this, watching from a chair for babies in the kitchen, as the kitchen is connected to the living room.

Now, because of all the times that my mother had used magic, I became interested.

So now, after trying so hard to crawl up here, I came to the attic.

Why? Because the only place for books about magic to be in, is here.

I searched every other room, including the bathroom just in case, and didn't find a single thing, so it must be here.

But now that I am here, I realize, how the hell am I supposed to get down from here safely?

The ladder I came up from is pretty steep.

Crawling upwards is easy, but going down, I'm probably gonna slip.

Well, no use to think about that now, just gotta focus on the objective.

And that is to find a book, or two, on magic!

I then search through the attic, and it's pretty dark.

There's only one window, and a lot of boxes, making many dark spots.

Speaking of boxes, as I search through the boxes, they're mostly filled with weapons or clothes, as well as other things.

Then...

"Iwaah!"

That was supposed to be "I found it!" (Itaah!), but I have an underdeveloped larynx, so bear with it.

It was a book on magic.

I knew it because on the front, it clearly says, "Saint Ilgrantz's Guide to Magic".

It must be good stuff since it's from a saint.

Those guys have the power of god on their side!

Anyways, enough joking and let's read.

So, a sum up of what I read in the book.

It seems that magic is the basic manipulation of Mana.

Mana is present in everything that this world consists of, be it people, creatures, land, sea, the air, and other objects.

Magic has ten levels, Beginner, Adept, Novice, Expert, Sage, Great Sage, Master, Grand Master, Saint, and God.

The last level is a bit over the top I think.

There are three kinds of Magic.

Offensive, with Wind, Flame, Earth, and Water.

You could also make sub types by combining them, but that's a story for another time.

Then there's passive, with healing, barrier, and detoxification.

And Divine, which combines both, but are effective against curses and demons.

And with that, there are three ways of using magic.

Incantation, Runes, and Signs, as in hand signs.

It seems that incantation is mainstream because it's the fastest and most practical.

It also says that the amount of mana you have is dependent on what you had when you were born, but that's doubtful.

During the time without internet, it was books that you couldn't be sure of the accuracy with.

Now, since all three of the methods of using magic are unusable for me, since I can't speak, I cant write nor draw, and I can't use hand signs, since they're hella complicated, I have no idea if I can use magic right now, but, I'm gonna try it anyways.

Let's see, out of all these spells, which seems the least destructive?

I then flip through the pages in the spell section of the book.

Oh, here, "Gust".

It says that it's a beginner level magic that can lift light objects with a soft wind.

Okay, it says here to hold out your hand to your target.

I guess these boxes with nothing inside should do.

Then, for incantation, it says. "Oh ruler of wind, bring upon a gentle breeze that soothes thy

heart, lifting our spirits; Gust"

Well, I mean, it probably won't do nothing since I didn't say it, but it should probably look like a slight push of wind.

I then look to where my hand is pointing to.

Wind is accumulating, I can see it because the dust is being carried by it.

Then, it shot out.

Unlike how the book described it, it shot a burst of wind through the boxes, shredding what's in front.

Luckily it dissipated before it hit the wall.

But thanks to this, I figured something out.

You don't need to do any of the three methods of magic, as long as you have a clear image in your head.

The three methods are just there to describe and associate a spell to a certain image, making it easier to do...

Or atleast that's what I... assume.

I think I'm... getting a bit sleepy,...

Is it due to mana insufficiency?

Oh no, I'm passing out...
