Reincarnated as a Rock

Chapter 2 A Boring World of Fantasy



 

It's soo God damn booorinngg! 

‎‎

For some reason, after a while, the lab-experiment-escapee creatures around me started to get away from me. So there went the only excitement I had into the rabbit hole... 

After coming here, I decided to assume that my encounter with the self-proclaimed devil was genuine. I am still not a hundred percent sure if it had happened for real or not but otherwise I don't think I'll make any progress. Furthermore, since getting here I haven't felt any hunger or thirst even though the sun set and dawned many times. 

Oh, I forgot to mention, there are 2 suns. One very little, and the other kind of comparable to the sun we are used to seeing, both were slightly whitish-yellow. They were moving in the same orbit, though one set a bit later when the other one just dawned.

 All these anomalies have led me to assume that I got reincarnated with the terms of the devil's contract! I was too eager to wake up that I haven't considered the possibility of those experiences being real... I am not going to get into the fact that I died in my own world, in a ridiculously humiliating way. Nope, as long as I divert my self from that fact it will be like none of it had ever happened! Yeah, I'll do just that! Thank God I am used to being alone in a confined place. Yeah, the current situation is just like that! I am in my room all alone and there is no one at home and I am doing- oh... I can't feel my wiener... 

 ‎

The heartbreaking realization haunting me, it took me a day to recover, which was around 4 or 6 hours -I am not sure ok! I can't really count seconds for 3000 years like a certain genius teen. The day system was weird in here. Since I haven't been here more than a day or two in Earth days, I couldn't really notice any sort of connection between lengths of the days. I wonder how the creatures of this world carry their daily business, I am sure the animal-like ones' biological clock would caliber itself somehow. But what about creatures with civilizations? How are they going to manage their trades and work hours, how long are their definition of days and weeks? All of these will stay unanswered for a long time for I still am not very sure if intelligent beings with societies exist since that damned devil didn't mention there being high intelligence beings. 

Hell, that bastard didn't even mention the being turned into a rock part too! Yes, I have not asked the conditions and I might have ignored the text written on the contract parchment before signing it too, but it's all his fault! He should have told them to me, just because he didn't lie doesn't put him in the white, if he is that higher of a being, should have been high and noble and spoken about conditions of this one-sided contract! 

 ‎

...And I went on and on as if there was someone to listen to me rambling about the excuses I had for getting scammed by a probably evil deity of some sort.

‎ 

 One of our relatives once gotten scammed and lost their house, but this is many leagues above losing the puny rights to a building and land. What if you have dreamed of it, paid a lot for it and had to work your ass off. Dispersing the emotional aspect, you can just grind and buy another one or that same house if you want. Whereas where I stand(technically lie) I don't really have that chance anymore. Maybe and maybe, if I were able to move around, there could still be some stuff I could do consisting of medicine and perhaps if I am lucky computers. 

But I don't really have that luxury. And survival comes much before those anyways. Urgh... I can't really express how much I wish to have acted more cautiously. Sure I couldn't be certain that all of it were not just a dream or hallucination but it wouldn't hurt to be more mature and cautious in a scenario I have never personally been in before. I mean, I've read a few light novels and watched animes with similar content, with isekai(reincarnation into another world) and fantasy genres. That was why all that was hilarious to me. All of them in essence following the same framework, though that is probably what a genre is, I was kind of getting fed up for most of the time seeing very similar events, especially in the build-up section. 

It was kind of my fault too, for focusing on that type of genre and expecting to experience mostly unique events, after my 10th, 15th anime/novel. Whatever, at the end, when I found my self where all those fictional characters been, I couldn't contain my laughter. It was just like the Isekai stories I had been interested in were like. Though, thou shalt not speak of how 'tis cometh to that. 

 ‎

 Wait, if the past was just like those stories what about the present? The protagonists almost always have status magic or something similar with them upon being reincarnated or summoned into a fantasy world. With. OP. POWERS! I don't even know why hadn't I thought about it. There probably is magic and some skills system in this world. Let's see... They usually open it by saying or thinking about it. Since I have been just talking with my inner voice, I've probably just got to think about saying it.
