Vol 1 Chapter 1 (1/2)

I was sitting on a train that was relatively less crowded, I have been waiting for 10 minutes already, for my business partner to arrive, that I decided to take a nap.

That was me, that was the beginning of Mitsuji Tos.h.i.+ki’s reincarnation to a different world.

I was organizing the information in my head.

Was this a dream? I was first suspicious, but also there was no explanation that would make sense. The details was so realistic for it to be lucid dream.

I’m probably in a situation now where I have entered a different world. At least I know instantly that I’m not in j.a.pan anymore.

It’s because of the clothes.

Before I noticed it, the suit of good quality which I wore earlier became a light brown dirty robe. I can compare it to a beggar of a fantasy world, or possibly someone from a lower laborer cla.s.s.

The watch that I wore earlier was gone of course. My cellphone was also gone. My business card case and my business bag was gone too.

Speaking of which, I had checked my body and noticed that I might have entered as a poor poor man of this world.

I had check my surroundings.

The place I am now was in a big tent.

The canopy was wide forming a cage, I had an image that it seemed like it was as big as a residential hut used by the desert nomads. The tent was large that can probably fit around 30 people in here.

Seemed like it had degraded as there were tears in the leather material in a few places. However, there was a slight opening in the entrance nearby for the light to enter, although it was dim inside the tent, I was still able to check inside.

It was a strange world inside the tent.

First of all, there are a lots of naked people.

There are about 30 of them.

I could say that some of the people I saw had big physiques, some are malnourished, some had their body covered with fur, and some are extremely tall.

Human… No, I should say it’s probably demons, or should it be sub-human?

I’m not really sure the correct word to use, but they are clearly a being different from a h.o.m.o-sapiens of the modern world.

The only thing common among them was that they don’t have any clothing.

You lose the dignity of a person if you are naked.

(What the h.e.l.l is this?)

I can’t fully grasp the situation.

For example, I can say that there was a cat-girl(?) beastman in front of me who was malnourished and starving.

However, I don’t understand why.

Why was there such a girl in front of me? Nude and currently starving.

As if she was like….

(Isn’t she a slave?)

I stepped back that instant I came to that conclusion.

At the same time, I heard a voice behind me.

“Oi! Tos.h.i.+ki! How long will it take you b.a.s.t.a.r.d!”

“Yes! umm.”

Tos.h.i.+ki. How come he knows my name?

Though I was thinking about it, I was racking my brains on how i can speak to him without sounding unnatural.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t properly understood it

“Huh? Can’t you even sort out the slaves!?”

That was useless as the big man, who asked, suddenly smacked my face with his fist.

I didn’t understood the situation as it was all too sudden.

My nose was in pain as tears runs down from my eyes.

I who had struck the back of my head so hard, thought that the big man was staring at me like I’m stupid.

Apparently, I who was named Tos.h.i.+ki, seems to be in a position to serve this big man.

Aside from the difference on the way he speaks, he was also dressed differently.

I was wearing a unkempt light brown robe, but he was wearing a robe that was heavily decorated.

It was certain that I was at the bottom in terms of the hierarchical position between me and the big man.

“f.u.c.king cheeky face. Who told you to get away from me!”

This time I got a kick.
