Volume 1 Chapter 1 Part2 (1/2)

I woke up in an unfamiliar bed.

Everything was dim and the window shutters had been closed. Light hazily streamed through the narrow openings of the shutters.

Where am I . . .

If this were a light novel, I would have muttered, ”this ceiling looks unfamiliar”. I don't have that kind of composure right now though.

I feel abnormally sleepy even though I usually don't have any problems waking up. Maybe because of that, my head is feeling really muddled right now. When I try to shake my head to sober myself up, I suddenly see the face of a large and young caucasian woman.

Woah! What a huge person. She's a quite a beautiful blonde though . . .

I was briefly astonished because she seemed to be almost twice my size. However, that astonishment quickly changed into a kind of fascination as I gazed at the side of her beautiful face.

No no, this isn't the time to be charmed by someone. What did I do last night . . . I can't remember . . . rather than that, I have to figure out a way to fix this situation . . . I'm sharing the bed with an unknown woman . . . did I drunkenly force her to go to bed with me? . . . nah, I'm not that resourceful.

My thoughts were in a complete mess as I panicked. For the time being, I wanted to leave the bed, so I reached out to grab the bed cover. When I saw my hands, I almost raised my voice.

Small . . . the hands of a child . . .

I gaze fixedly at my own hands.

The small squishy hands did not have any unnecessary hair and looked very smooth. They were a faint pink color, as if they were the hands of a baby. I survey my surroundings one more time.

It's not the room that got bigger, it's me that got smaller. I've become a child . . .

The sounds I made as I moved my body around seemed to have woken up the woman sleeping next to me.

”What's wrong Zack? X X O O . . .”

I understood the words she said in the beginning but I couldn't understand anything after that.

A lot of her words sounded similar to English but there were still many words I couldn't understand . . . wait second. Her words are suddenly turning into j.a.panese on their own despite the fact I've never heard them before. How is this happening . . .

In my state of panic, I wanted to ask the woman what was going on, but the words didn't come out. When I stiffen do to my confusion, she embraces me in her large arms.

”Did you . . . have  . . . scary dream . . . ?”

When I connected her words I understood that she had asked if I had seen a scary dream.

My face was gently pressed against her abundant chest.

The unique scent of a female and the soft pounding of her heart naturally calmed me.

It seems like I've really become a child. This dream feels so realistic . . . no, not just that, it feels too realistic. I couldn't have reincarnated?

I desperately attempt to retrace my memories. However, I can only remember returning home to read web novels and then having a dream where I made a TRPG character.

Well . . . that does seem kind of strange. Why would I dream about something like making a TRPG character? Could it be . . . Reference . . .

While thinking it's impossible, I tried using the skill I acquired when I configured my character, ”Reference”.

Reference seemed to be a skill that floated inside my head the names of objects I've touched along with some simple explanations.

Trying it on myself first seems okay. According to Reference . . . my name is ”Zacharias Lockhart”. A three year old, male human. If Reference only gives me this much, I can't understand anything . . . if this is the world of T&D (Tunnels and Dragons), then maybe it's possible for me to look to at my status. Should I say it in my mind or something . . .”

I silently say ”Status” in my mind but nothing happens. Things like numbers and menus didn't appear at all.

It's no good huh . . . wait. When I activated ”Reference”, I said it in j.a.panese in my mind. Instead of saying ”Status” in English, maybe I should try saying it in j.a.panese instead . . .

With nothing to lose, in j.a.panese, I say ”Status” in my mind. Suddenly, a display appears in front of me with the name Zacharias Lockhart on it. My status and skills were also displayed below that.
