Not Sure, But It Looks Like I Got Reincarnated In Another World

In my search for a water source I have relocated to a nearby river, and it has been two months since then .

　The carriage accident was likely around March, so spring should be about over and making way for summer .

　I was currently living in a small hut near the river . No, even this was a lot better . Truly . I was glad that the current season was warm .

　Initially, I was going for a pit-house like structure . Something like a tent…… . with the wood aligned in a cone shape and the roof covered in straw…… . but, later that night it was blown away by a strong wind . I cried .

　After repeatedly trying to rebuild it and failing, I started to think about alternatives . And I decided to make MP recovery potions to forcefully recover MP and strengthen the structure of the hut .

　And now it had become a hut that couldn’t be blown down by the wind . One month had pa.s.sed at that point . I don’t want to think about those dreadful days… . .

　The next goal was to improve my diet .

　Ah, but the strengthening of the hut was focused on the walls . So the leaking was quite dreadful whenever it rained .

　Eh? Ah, yes, back to the topic . Right, I was trying to improve my diet .

　First, I decided to check my surroundings for any dangerous animals or easy prey . There wasn’t any dangerous animals nearby, but there also wasn’t any easy prey .

　But I found several trees that produce edible berries and some edible mushrooms . I also confirmed that there weren’t any dangerous monsters nearby . Thinking back, I was quite surprised as it was during that time I had obtained the skills [Alert] and [Detection] .

　Alert was a skill that reacted to danger or ambushes . In other words, it could be said as improved intuition… .

　Detection was a skill that could sense things in the surrounding area . Apparently, when detection becomes higher leveled it will become able to identify race or threat level .

　However, the meals weren’t always stable or balanced . So, I took nutritional supplements along with rice b.a.l.l.s to fill my stomach . Yes, it was easy to create… . . and thanks to that I didn’t have to worry about the nutrient balance anymore .

　Sorry… I lied . I wanted to eat delicious foods . Ahhhh! I miss the satisfying days in j.a.pan… . .

　As such, I had tried creating an actual meal full of seasoning, but due to the amount of MP cost it couldn’t be done .

　So I tried creating just salt itself, but in exchange for the large MP cost the amount of salt created was too little .

　As for spices, there were peppers and herbs growing naturally within the area . And since I lived by myself in my previous life I had to learn how to cook, so I was able to manage with the ingredients .

　No, a delicious meal is important, so it can’t be helped .

　That aside, once I manage to secure proper clothing, food, shelter and ensure the safety of the area, I think I will try improving the living environment .

　Yes, which means a bath .

　Hm? Shouldn’t I try improving the house first? No, of course the bath comes first! Bathing in the river is cold! And I don’t want to be led astray by [Clean] . As for fatigue, I have that covered thanks to the recovery potion .

　My current bathing area was created by digging up a part of the riverbed using earth magic . Then a large amount of stones were placed to separate it from the river and the water was replaced with hot water .

　But during rainy days, or when the season becomes winter, I won’t be able to use it .

　As such, I was gathering stone and wood for today . But the current problem was that the amount of MP I had for reinforcing the building materials was too little . Furthermore, there was also quite a lot of things that needed to be reinforced . My maximum MP was now 70 . It increased a bit, but I still want more .

“…… . I think I need to go at this another way . There’s a limit to how many MP recovery potions I can use . ”

　In the first place, making MP recovery potions cost a lot . After experimenting, I realized it was more efficient to forcefully recover MP with the potions and finish everything at once . However, the problem was that there was a limit to the amount that could be made .

“If somehow, I could create a potion that can increase my maximum MP… . . ”

　I had acquired a skill that could create potions that would temporarily increase my status . So I thought about making a potion that would temporarily boost my MP limit . 　

　After considering it, I decided to go with it . Since I could be considered a mad scientist type, the verification of the idea is more important than safety . It’s something that couldn’t really be helped .

　The results were I could make it .

　However, the production rate of the MP boosting potion was laughable . I could only laugh… .

　All the potion ingredients and herbs I collected had disappeared . Ahhhhh!!!

　Afterwards, I had to spend a week to gather enough materials to make MP recovery potions to recover my increased mana pool . It took three days to prepare . And the results of working hard every day while taking the potions .

　I was taking a bath inside my house right now .

　Collecting that many materials just to complete this was really depressing, but right now I don’t want to think of unhappy things . I don’t want to think about it . I repeated it because it’s important .

　The bathing room was nice, the epitome of culture .

　As a result of my hard work and effort, I was able to create a room consisting of two meter walls in the corner of my house . The house had two floors .

　Upon entrance, the kitchen was in view . Then the bathing room and restroom were located towards the back .

　The guestroom and storage room were located on the first floor . While my bedroom and a study was located on the second floor . There was also a bas.e.m.e.nt .

　I had built quite an amazing place . But the furniture would need to be added on a different date . I was completely satisfied . Building the drainage system was quite difficult, but I did my utmost with earth magic .

　I plan on transforming the waste to fertilizer using [Creation Magic], so the drainage system was an acc.u.mulative type . But in the bigger towns or the capital city it appears there are sewer systems .

　Well, magic is still useful regardless .

　While thinking these thoughts, I proceeded to create soup using the plant ingredients to wash my body .

　Ah, I could sell something like this too, right? Shampoo would also be good too .

　Hmm… . my ambitions rises! But at the same time, I don’t have any plans on leaving the forest right now! On a side note, these are all created using [Creation Magic] . It costs quite a lot of MP, but I suppose it couldn’t be helped . It was a necessary expense .

　As I stared down at my crotch area while washing my body, I felt a complex-sort of feeling .

　I didn’t exactly feel confused and such, but there was still a sense of complexity mixed with naturalness .

　I felt calmer than I had been in the previous few months, but even so my memories from my previous life still had quite an effect on me . As such, my way of thought and values were still quite similar to that of when I was j.a.panese .

　I still had some consciousness as a man remaining, at least it was to the extent where I found having a male partner revolting .

　No, never mind, it’s better not to overthink it . I might be overwhelmed by all the thoughts . Let’s just leave these sort of thoughts for another time .

　Regardless of everything else, there was no doubt that my previous life’s knowledge was quite useful . It would have a huge role in improving my life from here on out . I would make proper use of what could be used .

　I lightly pondered over these matters as I immersed myself in the bathtub .

　A future course of action was also important . Although I needed to start planning ahead for the future .

　I haven’t really thought about it since the accident, other than wanting to be free . When I left the orphanage, I only felt despair . My future was dark and I was trapped .

　But now I was free . Free to do anything I wanted . And free to live however I wanted .

　Still……what should I do? To be honest, I didn’t have any goals or purpose for life in this world .

I just simply lived to live . But I didn’t want to spend the rest of my life like that .

　Then what about the past me?

　I think I had quite the arrogant personality . I would always prioritize myself first . As such, if there were things I didn’t want to do, I would simply avoid it, or avoid it as much as possible . And I would pursue anything that interested me . So in other words, I didn’t like dealing with troublesome matters .

　Thus, I would avoid circ.u.mstances in which I had to deal with troublesome people or situations . But I didn’t hate the me who had that sort of personality . Due to my meticulous personality, I was alone and had to learn how to cook for myself . As a result, I was quite skilled at cooking . And thanks to that, I wasn’t troubled now .

　Anyways, I became side-tracked .

　Well, if I couldn’t decide what I would like to do based on my current self, I would instead decide on how to proceed based on my past self . We are essentially the same person .

　I dislike being forced to do anything . I dislike troublesome matters . As such, I would escape if it came down to it . So this would be the basic future course of action .

　And for the time being, I would live here . I plan on leaving this forest, eventually . But, until then, I would continue living here . I would continue on living peacefully until something happens . Yes, I will go with this plan .

　However, I will still continue leveling my skills . Since the skills would be a necessary countermeasure if anything were to happen .

　Plus, there were also various things I would like to make .

　Such as things I had planned to make or had failed at making in my previous life . Since there was magic in this world, I could probably make them here .

　I essentially still don’t have a goal or purpose for existing in this world? I suppose I should explore the world a bit once I become able to . Exploring the world? Hmm, sounds interesting, no, I am interested .

　I only knew about the town where the orphanage was located, so I basically knew nothing else . My knowledge regarding the common sense of the world was likely still lacking . Since the internet didn’t exist in this world, there wasn’t any convenient, world-wide information sharing network .

　Then, once I leave the forest, should I investigate these sort of things first?

　After deciding all these things, I exited the bath .

　Ah, I was able to enjoy a nice bath, but now that I think about it, wasn’t I still an orphan? These sort of thoughts drifted through my mind as I slept on a soft bed . The bed was also made using my previous life’s knowledge and [Creation Magic] . Cheats sure are terrible…… .
