The Story of the Second Son of a Baron - Chapter 1 (1/123)

< The Story of the Second Son of a Baron – Chapter 1 – >

About 18 years ago, I died. The cause was a traffic accident. Due to a drunk driver who deserved to be cursed, I, who had done nothing wrong, ended up paying the ultimate price. Since I was dead, there was nothing I could do except curse the bastard who only suffered a few broken bones. During this time, I was reborn in a new world, not on Earth.

When I was born again, I was very confused. I had my memories from my previous life and was reborn as a baby. But the moment that confused me even more was when I realized this world was not Earth. Seeing flames shoot from people's hands and steel being sliced like tofu with a single sword, I realized this was a fantasy world, something I had only seen in novels and movies.

I adapted to this new world. Although there were no computers or cell phones, there were plenty of things to enjoy in this world. My parents were nobles with a small fief, and I had an older brother. Unlike the typical succession struggles seen in novels, we had a warm and close relationship. For 18 years, my brother was set to inherit the small fief, and I was pondering what I should do in the future when I heard something I never expected.

"Renil."

"Yes, Father."

"I need you to go to the northern region for about ten years."

"......What?"

The north was known for its harsh conditions, being the most barren part of the empire, and it was a place of constant struggle against the endless waves of monsters. As I was still confused by this sudden announcement, my father handed me a piece of paper. When I finished reading the contents of the paper, I didn't even notice that it was crumpling in my hand as I tightly closed my eyes.

The paper contained something I thought I would never see again.
