Reincarnation

A normal day going to school.Walking down this familiar street, I observe the verdant leaves of the trees gracefully descending to the earth below.Walking down this familiar street, I observe the verdant leaves of the trees gracefully descending.

I would like to know what happens in the story after that time skip of my favorite light novel series.

Maybe, I should go and buy the next volume before I go home.

Thinking but reading my novels and manga. That's the only thing I look forward to in my life right now.

I admit, I'm such a book nerd. The type of girl you'll see reading a book at the corner of the class without caring about the outside world.

As far as I remember, I always led a life of solitude different from the normal high school student. This might not be the normal for societies standards, but this is the life I chose to live. I guess, I'm just an odd girl that doesn't fit in to other people.

Because of this attitude of mine, I'm a target of bullies.

I don't want to think about those losers.

Important things first, there is an exam today. I do my best in studying yesterday. The test will be a piece of cake.

…

I entered the classroom and as usual no one bother to pay attention. Our class is already noisy and students chat to each other. Some of my classmates talk about games. Some talk about the drama last night. Some just talk about their love relationship.

And I go to my sit in the back corner of the class and take a glance outside from the window.

"I want to buy the next volume."

I muttered.

Looking at classmates, I can feel the intense pain of being all alone. Because unlike them they have friends to talk to and share their hobbies.

This feeling might be jealousy.

Deep inside my heart, I envy their normal life.

Everything was taken away from me. Not just in school but also at home and outside the world. I'm just not normal compare to other people.

I give up and accepted it.

My fate of dying alone in this world.

I closed my eyes.

The teacher opens the door and enters the class.

"Good morning let's get started."

My teacher is small and looks like the same age as us, maybe younger. My classroom is full of different people. There is one idol girl who just debuts her album. She is pretty and cute she attracted lots of people unlike me. Also, there are these game nerds and Anime nerds. We also have the fastest runner and best female athlete in the school. The smartest one who has 100 on his test every time.

Everyone goes back to their respective seats and listens to the lecture.

Our homeroom teacher is an English teacher and starting this day with English is boring in my opinion.

I didn't sleep yesterday because of the novel I read. And I'm currently doing my best not to fell asleep in this class.

Well, speaking of sleeping the guy beside me is already sleeping.

Moments later, the exam started.

In the middle of the exam. Something unexplained by science happened.

The floor beneath us suddenly glow in white color and everyone suddenly disappeared.

My hands crumble into tiny particles of light and also I disappeared into this world.

What's happening?

…

I opened my eyes and found myself in a dark place that I never know.

This place what is this?

I stand up and notice a difference.

Am I this short? My hand also looks smaller than usual.

This place is so dark I can't see anything.

I walked and walked and reach a place with light.

The light is coming from the pretty crystals. Near the mine of glowing crystals was a clear beautiful lake.

"Thank goodness. I'm super thirsty."

I walked to the lake and use my hand to scoop a small amount of water and drink it.

"That is refreshing."

While refreshing myself, as I stare in the water I saw my reflection.

My body became smaller. My hair became white and my black eyes were replaced with these blue ones.

Also, my ears are pointy.

"Ehhh?! Is this my body?"

I was shocked and pull my cheeks. To wake me in this dream.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! That hurts."

I'm not dreaming at all!

I did my best to understand what is happening. After quite sometime it only lead me to one conclusion.

"Famous in anime and light novels is the reincarnation genre and I think I was reincarnated into another world."

I read to much novels. Maybe, that's one of the main reason I thought of that idea.

Anyways, there is no other explanation beside reincarnation.

I, Mayu has been reincarnated as this small girl. We can say I'm a little elf girl because of my pointy ears.

Anyways, in the story that I read. People are reincarnated to another world to fulfil some-kind of purpose.

This is my time to shine.

"I'll be the hero of this world."

Giant shadow loomed behind me together with its red scary eyes. My body felt an incredible chill that made me feel nervous.

This feeling can only be describe by one word.

"Fear…"

Slowly, I turned my neck and saw a giant red dragon.

"A… Dragon…"

"Roaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrr!!"

Dragon release a mighty roar that shakes the whole surrounding.

What am I suppose to do in this situation? I'm just a cute little elf right now. There is nothing I can do.

The dragon inhales, and exhales… Breathing raging flames from its mouth destroying everything on its path.

My flight sense was triggered and I run as fast as I can. I jump to the small hole and run while crying in fear.

That dragon might be thinking that I'm crossing to its territory.

"Sorry, I just drink a small amount of water in that lake."

 I scream to apologize.

…

It's been a while since I run like that in my entire life.

I run and run intul I reach a place that felt safe. I look around and check if there are some kind of monsters nearby.

"I guess, I'm in a safe area… Thanks god."

I rest for a minute and then walked to the crystal attached to the wall. I look at my reflection and compare it to my previous reflection.

I can't believe that I really became a little elf girl.

Well, I'm cute and adorable, but cuteness will not do good in this kind of dangerous situation.

I don't know anything in this world and why I'm reincarnated.

Like in popular light novel and manga.

This place I'm currently at might be a dungeon in this world with many monsters.

And that dragon I saw might be the dungeon boss.

With my current self, I can't do anything to defeat that creature.

"Skills… I might have skills… Like in video games… That will be great."

[Do you want to learn the Appraisal skill?"]

I was stunned for a moment when I heard an electronic sound of a woman coming from my head.

In front of me, a window that usually seen in video games appeared.

Eh? What is this window suddenly showing up? Skill? Learn? Is this world really like a game?

"Appraisal skill. Skill description. A mystical ability that allows the user to instantly analyze the properties, stats, and hidden details of any object, creature, or person. Higher skill levels reveal weaknesses, resistances, and even concealed abilities or curses. Some legendary versions of this skill can "see through fate", unveiling future potential or forgotten pasts.."

With this skill, I could analyze an enemy's weaknesses and exploits them for an instant or strategic kill.

This will be useful when checking how strong my opponent was. This will be a handy skill to have.

I click the button learn.

[Appraisal skill Learned]

Seeing this, I guess this world is really like a game.

I'm so excited that I can now use some form of magic.

Still, I wonder if this is the only skill that I can learn. There is a scroll down in the window. Maybe, I can learn more skills.

"Wow… Fire ball skill is available together with other elemental skills."

I learned the learn button again.

[Sorry, but your level is not qualified.]

"Error window appeared."

Maybe, that's to advance for me.

"I want to learn crafting skills."

[Skill points inefficient.]

"Insufficient skill points… What is that? I don't get any tutorial when I arrived in this world."

There is no point complaining.

I don't have the choice but to stick with this skill called Appraisal.

"Maybe, I can use this to myself… Let me try."

I look to my reflection and use my skill.

"Appraisal."

My Status is revealed in my eye's.

Name: Mayu

Race: Little Elf

Level: 1

Type: none

Skills: Appraisal skill level 1

Ability: none

I play Role-playing games in my previous life, and I know that these stats are trash. I don't even have any ability. I'm so weak and helpless.

"I guess, this is my new reality as a weak little elf girl."

I muttered with anxiety.

Well, there one thing I want to do right now.

I searched for a small hole where I could fit. I get a rock big enough to cover the entrance. Thanks goodness there is still few cracks in the hole I found for air to flow.

"I feel tired, I want to sleep."

At that moment, I give up sweating and overthinking things and go straight to catch some sleep.

"I wonder how can I survive in this world as a little elf girl?"
