New World

Hajime took a deep breath in front of his classroom door.

He spent last night playing games and reading manga again.

The black bags under his eyes were a dead giveaway that he hadn't gotten enough sleep last night.

Although he didn't look too bad, some might not even notice the bags under his eyes.

He then opened the door to his classroom.

As soon as he did, all the eyes in the class landed on him.

Some of his classmates frowned. Some even had annoyed expressions on their faces, as if they didn't want him to come to school.

Which he actually agrees with. He didn't want to go to school.

As for the reason, the whole class is annoyed with him or straight bullies him.

"Good morning, Nagumo-Kun!" said a beautiful girl with a cheerful smile towards him.

This girl was called Shirasaki Kaori.

One of the most, if not the most, beautiful girls in the whole school.

This girl is the main reason for his miserable school life.

Yes, the boys and girls in the class were jealous of him.

He, however, wished for Kaori to leave him alone.

He sighed at his miserable life and replied to her greeting, which made her face shine brightly with joy, earning him even more angry glares from his classmates.

And so, his classmates began making comments about his otaku hobbies.

He wasn't bothered, as he got slightly used to it over time.

He walked over to his chair in class and sat down.

Just as he was about to go to sleep, he glanced at one of the students sitting near him.

He realized that the guy didn't glance at him with any anger.

The said guy had black hair, gray eyes, and was short.

The boy seems to be in deep thoughts about something.

Hajime shrugged it off and rested his head on his table to sleep.

(POV ???)

Waking up with a sweat covering my body

I feel extreme pain in my head as my brain began flooding with memories?

Whose memories are these?

Watching a someone's life, Oh, he has the same name as me.

Why do I feel sad seeing his mother cry?

What is this? Why am I crying?

After a couple of minutes, I calmed down a little and began processing the memories that I had just received.

No, not just memories, I also have his emotions and feelings…

Ahh, I see

These were my own memories.

From my past life, that is.

No wonder I always felt something was missing inside me.

Taking a deep breath, I accepted that I had been reincarnated.

To be honest, even after talking to R.O.B, I always felt that it was a mere dream.

However, the life I live here is definitely real.

I have to keep my secret.

In my last life, I became a human jerky.

Getting out of bed, I began my usual routine since I got reincarnated in this world.

I lived a normal life in an orphanage until I got kicked out.

I started doing multiple part-time jobs and, with the small amount of money the orphanage sent me, I managed to rent an apartment and get into a school nearby.

Which happened to be the same school where the main characters were. I think R.O.B had a hand in this.

I sighed as I remembered my conversation with R.O.B.

(Third POV)

(*Flashback*)

"The world is arifureta," said R.O.B with an irritated tone.

Tanaka, on the other hand, went into deep thought trying to remember the series.

He remembered most of the series from the manga.

"Any last questions, kid?" asked R.O.B in an irritated tone.

Tanaka went deep into his thoughts. Since he arrived here, he didn't really get time to think.

Added to that, he had doubts if what he was seeing was real or a mere dream.

However, there were many questions he would like to ask, but hearing R.O.B's irritated tone, he figured he only had 1 or 2 questions at most.

"Can I ever get back to earth again?" Asked Tanaka with a somewhat sad expression.

"Sure you can kid," answered R.O.B as he snapped his fingers.

Tanaka, hearing this, got a bit hopeful, but before he could react or ask how, he lost conciseness.

R.O.B looked at nothingness, seemingly deep in thoughts.
