Prologue: It seems like I am an orphan now

Start from the beginning
                                    

I enjoy the surprised look on their faces. Then I knee kicks him in his face, breaking his nose and also making him fall unconscious. Now his face is covered with blood.

I land on my feet standing over his head. The other man runs towards me to stab me with his knife again, not having the time to dodge it with this weak body of mine. My only chance is to block it. Or in this case, I happened to instead grab it with my hand.

I flinch a little because of the pain as he stands there baffled as he watches my blood drip from my hand. I take this chance to kick him on his ribs.

That causes him to release his grip on the knife as he walks backward a bit, arms hugging where I hit him. I took hold of the handle of the knife and ran forwards to him and I stabbed him right in his throat. He falls to the ground and I huff out of exhaustion. It seems like I punched my body too far. My sight gets blurry and I faint out of exhaustion.

The next thing I know I wake up in an unfamiliar room. In an unfamiliar bed with my sister sleeping with her head and arms on my bed. I look at my hurt hand and see that it has been treated as it has bandages on. Then the door opens and a woman comes in with a food tray in hand. She looks like a Shinto priestess judging by what she is wearing. Though that religion does not exist in this world the game developers have probably used it as a reference for one of these world religions on it. This answers the question of where I am, I'm inside the temple.

"So you are finally awake." The woman says with a kind and gentle smile.

"How did I end up inside the temple?" I ask.

"Your sister was able to find some help from a group of adventurers that were passing by and then they brought you two here once they defeated the bandits." She answers me. "... I see... are we going to stay inside the temple or are you going to send us to the orphanage?" I ask her emotionlessly and she gives me a look of pity. Does she think that pitying me will help me feel better?

It is not like I need it. Senses I am not bothered at all, this is nothing compared to what I have witnessed in my past life. Although there is no way that she knows that. It is probably safer to pretend that I have cut off my emotions because of trauma.

"You will stay here until your hand is fully healed, then you will be moved to the orphanage in Captevia." She answers me. Now, where have I heard that name before?

I am sure that I have never heard that name before while I was living in this world.

Then it suddenly hit me. That's the name of the port city that the heroine of an Otome game that my sister of my previous life forced me to play went to after her parents died. And the heroine's name is the same name that my current sister has.

So that means that I was reborn into the Otome game named Doki, Doki, love, and bloodbaths. Though I was forced to play it I have only completed about 20% of the game so I only know the basics and some information that my sister told me. Otome games were never my cup of tea anyway. But if I knew this would happen I would have completed it even though I found the game boring. It would be useful to know about the important events as I live in this world now. Well, what's done is done and I am not even an important character of the game anyway so I am not that much in need of that kind of information anyway. I can remember that my sister always complained that the heroine's sister was completely forgotten after the game's prologue. Why was she not adopted together with her sister and why did the heroine never mention her in the game like ever? Were the things she complained about all so often after missions.

"Are you hungry?" She asks as she interrupts my thoughts.

"A little," I answer and then put the food tray in my lap. The food I was served is a simple rice porridge and an orange. "I will take my leave for now and please talk to your sister when she wakes up. She was very worried." She says and then leaves just like she said. Well now when I am alone, well kind off I should think about what I remember about the game to collect my thoughts. I may not be an important character in the game. But it may be useful after all since I am not the Annette Hystia from the game I can still get involved somehow. Hopefully, if I do, it will not hinder me.

I was reborn as an orphan,                   But I won't let that stop meWhere stories live. Discover now
