Chapter 3: Reincarnated in my novel (2)

"Wake up big brother." someone pushed me with their entire body but it felt so light to push me. " wakes up I need food, Mom said comes to you for food."

Big brother? I set on the edges of the bed and see a little girl standing up there.

Little Sister of the old owner of this body.

Looking at her suddenly guilt swollen up me. Because of me, her brother is not here for her anymore, I should take responsibility for the people around me.

"Let's go, big brother, I want to eat food but I can't reach the fridge" Suddenly she grabs my hand with her tiny little hands.

"Oh wait M-minute..." I still can't control this body very well, looking at my now skinny legs which I had not seen since my high school days, I still felt weird out.

As I was walking, a strange sensation tickled my brain, and I felt a sense of discontinuity between my movements.

At first, I thought it may have perhaps been due to me suddenly becoming skinny, but, more than me not being used to moving due to my body transformation, it was more like I was not used to this body at all.

It almost felt as if there was a lag in my movements. But as I gradually moved more, the time lag slowly disappeared.

I don't know what it was, but maybe it was because my soul still didn't get used to this new body.

Well setting that aside, my attention turned to my little sister, Lilya DarkHeart.

My ( new ) 5-year-old sister is a bundle of boundless energy and innocence. Her laughter fills the room, and her wide, curious eyes hold a world of wonder within them.

Her golden curls bounce as she explores her surroundings with uncontainable enthusiasm.

Her playful nature and eagerness to emulate her older brother make her a source of endless joy for the family.

As for my 'new' mother, her name is Seraphina DarkHeart.

mother possesses a natural elegance that radiates from her every movement. Her long, golden-blond hair cascades like silk, framing her expressive green-amber eyes.

Her nurturing demeanour and kind smile make her a pillar of support for her family. With a compassionate heart, she weaves a sense of belonging into their home. She possesses a quiet strength that's evident in the way she cares for her loved ones and the wisdom she imparts through her actions.

And my Father is head of the D-ranked guild, Yup you heard it right he is a guild master.

Yup lucky me hehee.

As the head of the D-ranked guild, Lucas's father exudes an air of authority.

In this world, guild ranking goes from E rank to SS rank. So maybe it's last second but the guild is a guild.

Maybe that's why I have that martial scroll. He may have some connection, because the price of the grade 3 martial scroll is quite high.

"Brother, please open the fridge door" Snapping out of my thoughts was Lilya's Voice. " ok, what do you want to eat?" I asked her as I looked in the fridge.

"Pudding," she said in an excited tone, seeing her. Like this, I also allow my first smile to appear on my face. "Pudding huh, well here you go and sit chair in the kitchen room"

"Ok, big brother" With that said she ran towards the chair with pudding in her hands.

Looking at the house from the inside I had one thought "This is what you called a futuristic home". I said, well look at the house here for a moment.

Nestled atop a lush hill, the futuristic house stands as a beacon of innovation in a world transformed by technology. Its exterior is a seamless fusion of sleek lines and eco-conscious design, adorned with solar panels that harness the sun's energy and a fa?ade that adjusts to the weather, seamlessly transitioning between transparency and privacy.

Upon stepping inside, the atmosphere shifts, enveloping visitors in an ambient glow emitted by smart lighting that adapts to moods and preferences.

'If this is not what you called high-tech home then I don't know which one is.'

After memorizing awe for a moment I walked to the mirror that have been on the tables beside me.

This will be the first time I'll see my face.

Golden-blond hair cascaded down, framing my face in waves that seemed to shimmer like sunlight on water. I reached up, fingers brushing against the strands as if confirming their reality.

My eyes widened as I noticed the eyes gazing back at me, a vibrant shade of green amber that held a depth of emotion.

'I just look like my mother...'

A sense of wonder surged within me, mingling with the uncertainty that still lingered. But as I met my gaze, my mother's gaze, in the mirror, a newfound strength coursed through my veins.

The questions, the mysteries—they could wait.

For now, I was Lucas DarkHeart, a fusion of two lives, embarking on a journey of self-discovery, bound by love, and guided by the reflection of my mother's eyes.

And at that moment, as my fingers brushed against the mirror's cool surface, I knew that I had been given a gift—an understanding that transcended words, connecting me to a legacy that spanned beyond time itself.

***

It's 7 pm night, the moon is already in the black sky, and Liliya is in her room after she eats her snacks, Mom and Dad are still not home maybe they will be late tonight

'It's still weird to call them Mom and Dad.' I forcibly stop my thoughts to keep continuing.

What is done is done.

Not onto a main question. I'm an Extra.

Lucas DarkHeart is an extra.

Who was that? Before my answer would be 'I don't know but now 'I know' maybe a little bit.

As far as I remember my name was…hmm?

What was my name??? Great, now I forgot my old name.

I look at my body again, there are six packs all around my body. I still feel weird and in awe.

this was not my body…I was supposed to be fat. Yet, looking at the present all of the questions left me.

Let's look at my body later.

Now the question is about 'Lucas DarkHeart'.

I never created such a character.

But looking at how things were, I should probably not consider this world a novel anymore, as I was literally breathing and moving inside of what seemed to be the plot of my novel.

If you were wondering why I am remaining so calm in this situation, it's simple really.

Because of this Lucas's and old me emotions are merged. And second, I have to deal with this. The

Though it's a real bummer I wasn't reincarnated as the protagonist.

That was a total lie

Who in the world wants to be the protagonist?

Me?

ha? Are you crazy?

Why in the world would I want to be some justice-driven fool who attracts danger wherever he goes? I just got a new life, why in the world would I throw it away like that? I ain't stupid.

Although I am jealous of his would-be harem. I mean I did make them beauties, but who cares! I stayed a virgin for my whole years of life, so it's not gonna hurt if I remained a virgin for a little bit longer.

Setting my virginity aside, this world has magic and skills!

There's no way I was going to spend my time flirting with girls when I could spend the time practising magic! I could already visualize myself casting huge fireballs. Just the thought makes me grin.

I mean how could I not be excited? I came from a world where magic doesn't exist, and now that I have access to it, I will learn it!

"But wait..."

I'm still weak, well compared to other extras I'm stronger than most of them my age but I'm nothing in front of the MC party.

"I need to grow strong, but how?"

Ahh, why did not I think of that?

"Luminar Crystal"

'I can get my hand on one of the tiny pieces.'
