On the eve of my sister’s birthday, I told my sister about my secrets and she gradually accepted me despite hiding it all the time.
Sitting on her bed, I one by one revealed my secrets and slowly manifest my real identity to her. I also told her some information about Earth like it’s a world without magic and magic only exist in fantasies.
“You’ve been hiding this all the time? Now I understand why you keep it hidden from the others. It would be created a great impact if it were reveal to the public. It would attract the attention of evil people and take advantage of us.”
Like my sister said, my skills and blessings were so absurd that it could even make an impact to the world. It were too broken and could break the power balance of the planet.
People want this kind of power in their disposal for improving their own influence, fame and authority. If these kind of people fixed their attention to me, it would definitely disturb the lives of my family.
“So this is why you gained more level than me even though I worked harder than you. Your blessings shortened your experience required to level up. Also gained additional stats and make you stronger and stronger.”
“Sorry. Maybe I am too selfish and hungry for power when I wished from the Goddess.
“Still, the usefulness and convenience of your skills and blessings really helped us, like your Computerized Mind Unique Skill. You said that it allows you to gain access to the information from your previous world right?”
“Yeah.”
“Could it be that… the things that you had made…?”
“Yeah. The dishes I created, the musical pieces that I composed, the inventions that I invented, the knowledge that I discovered, all of them were originated from my previous world. And here, I am just copying those things and claimed it as my own…”
To make my life more easier and exciting, I’ve been recreating various things from my previous world to this world. Machineries, food, entertainment, and more. I recreate them due to my homesickness and to the boredom that I endured for many years.
“Are you worrying about something as trivial as plagiarism? Even though you recreate those things in this world, it is still the another world. Besides, you were not the only one who had done it, so it’s not a problem at all.”
“Yeah… You’re right.”
The First Pope introduced the concept of religion. The Mother of Arts had been contributed much in the field of arts by just spreading her knowledge from the another world. We, reincarnators, may not be the original but we contribute for the sake of the advancement of the technologies and knowledge in this world.
“That’s why you should not be pessimistic and be proud of yourself.”
“Thank you, sister. I must have to fill myself with confidence. Without your words, I would have been consumed by my conscience and ruined myself from guilt. I truly thanked you for taking heed of my words tonight.”
“You’re welcome.”
Now, I can recreate various things without worrying about what the original creator would think. Although I have to do it with moderation. Or else, people with bad intentions will take advantage of us and use us for their own satisfaction.
“Let’s move to the next topic. I am really curious about your world.”
“Then, I’ll tell you some things about my past world. Like I said before, our world don’t have magic and we depends on science and technology. World without the existence of magic means there’s no magic crystals and magical beings. The creatures residing in our world are only humans and animals. No other races like elves, dwarves, beastmen, spirits, demons, monsters, etc. And our world right now are in peace, the last war was occurred decades ago.”
“That’s really different from this world. You must have difficulties in the transition between two worlds with different cultures and common sense, right.”
“Not at all. Even though our world has no magic, it still exists in fantasies and fictions. So I almost had no difficulties and easily adapted my new environment. Except for learning this world’s language, culture and common sense. Although, the level of technology here is rather primitive than my previous life.”
Isekai and fantasy stories are my favorite genre for novel, manga and anime. So I had no problems at living in this world.
“How do you live in a world without magic?”
“Well, unlike here where people use magic, we use science and technology for our daily lives. We use things like machines, appliances, gadgets to make our lives easier. For example, instead of using a broom, we use an appliance called ‘Vacuum Cleaner’ that sucks up dust.”
“That’s so convenient. What about the weapons?”
“We used weapons that uses gunpowder called guns. Unlike this world’s muskets, our guns can fire bullets rapidly and accurately.”
There were firearms already existed in this world. It was a muzzleloader firearm called musket. It was lethal up close but had low accuracy at long range. Because of that, marksmen adventurers rarely used muskets. It produces loud sound that might alert your target and its surroundings.
It is commonly be wielded by the soldiers in the cities and sometimes people with low affinity in magic. Shooting Arts could be applied to the muskets but due to its one shot at a time rate of fire, it rarely used.
“There’s so many interesting things in your world. I wished I had a chance to witness it with my own eyes…”
“I think I can do something about that.”
“Are you certain about that, Raphael?”
“Yeah. Wait a second.”
I closed my eyes and entered into the subconsciousness. I raised my right hand, opened my palm, and recite a magic spell.
“Projection.”
“Wow.”
After chanting the spell, a wide translucent rectangular board conjured in front of us. My sister grasped her breathe upon seeing the sudden appearance of a huge board.
“Was that the firearms in your world. Looks different and more powerful than the muskets. And what’s with that attack speed?!”
“It is because it was loaded with thirty ammos per magazine.”
Sister was in the state of astonishment seeing the firepower of the AK-47. The magic spell that I just used was a Level 3 Illusion Magic: P
rojection. It is a spell that project the user’s thought to the air.
Using the internet of my Computerized Mind, I am currently playing a downloaded video of a demonstration of an AK-47 from a video sharing site. I am making sure that only the video can be seen in the projection. It would be a catastrophe if she discovered my Homework Files.
“Seeing its firepower and numbers of bullets its shot, it would eventually change the tide of the battle if these were used. How about bladed weapons?”
“Wait a second.”
I temporarily disable the projection to find a video about swords, which is my sister’s forte. She’s interested in any swords and wants to at least try every sword she knows.
“There. These are the types of sword in my previous world.”
“Interesting. There are some swords that I familiar with, and there are some new in my eyes. I cannot read what’s written in there but this curved sword piqued my interest.”
She analyzed the photos of each swords that I flashed in the projection. She pointed her finger to the sword that she interested in, a katana.
“Oh, that’s a sword called katana. It’s a sword that only a swordmaster could wield properly.” then I played a video of a samurai executed an Iai Technique on a straw doll.
“It’s thin and seemed to be unbalanced, but it’s sharp and quick. It’s rather on the art of the blade than being the weapon itself.”
“Great observation, sister. Before it was used as the weapons of war, but now, it is used to sports and entertainment, a hobby, and self-defensive measures.”
The uprising of long ranged weapons like guns reduce the usage of melee weapons. It is not wrong to say that guns had the dominance over swords in any battle in my previous world. 𝚍ｎ𝚘ｖ𝚕.𝚝
All of the sudden, my sister grabbed my left lower arm with both of her hands. She looked at my amethyst eyes with a pleading look.
(I think I know where it is going.)
“Hey, Raphael. Can you please forge a katana as your birthday gift to me?”
(I knew it!) “…” I didn’t said anything as I shouted in my mind.
“You can’t?”
“Ack!”
I exclaimed when she presses her soft eighty-seven centimeters in circumference chest against my arms.
“Fine, fine. I’ll make one for you.”
“Thank you, Raphael. Now I know your weakness.”
“Because it is filled with every man’s dream!”
She happily smiled at me as she presses her chest against my arm more harder. Well, I’ll admit that I am weak to women. But I have to tell myself not to be captivated by it so much, or else I’ll easily get manipulated.
<*Ding>
Then, I got a notification from my Computer Brain. It is to remind me what is the occasion of this day.
“Oh. It’s already midnight, sister.”
“Hah? We talked so much that we didn’t notice the time.”
“Happy Birthday, my elder sister.”
“Thank you, my little brother.”
She hugged me and I was submerged in her chest again.
“Then let’s sleep together.”
“Yeah. Goodnight, Sis.”
“Goodnight, Little Bro.”
We exchange greetings and addressed each other informally. We laid on the mattress, turned off the Nocturnal skill, and fell asleep immediately.
