Bereave or Bereaved Chapter 1: Suddenly Death

Standard

No point in having the title in two places, anyway here you go. Try to enjoy it if you can…


Satou Yuu   Age 12

(Suddenly, However, is about to die.)

While my consciousness is about to fade, before my eyes I see a man.

Abusing me daily and lavishly spending money, my father-in-law is the person I hate the most.

Mother at his side, didn’t stop it, only just looked.

[My bad…..I cannot but help to do it this way in order to pay back a debt, hehe]

He laughs with a disgusting looking face.

The last thing I think of is, in this world there exist two types of human beings, those who deprive and those who are deprived of.(TL Note: Steal or be Stolen from)

I was a person who was deprived from, always and only just deprived.(TL Note: Meh)

Next time, I will……I’ll be on side of the deprives when I’m born again.

While strongly believing that, his consciousness sunk within the darkness.

When I awoke, I was laying on top of a bed.

Although I don’t know what happened, understanding the current situation is more important.
First of all, I’m certain that this is not a hospital. Within the bed surroundings is a simple window and through it a forest.

[Oh, did you wake up?]

A gentle looking obaa-chan says, I, in the middle of the forest out of breath was found by her, in the beginning at first she thought of me as a fairy because of my black hair.

Although, I find it strange to react so much because of black hair, I talk with obaa-chan about various thing(..)and it becomes clear.

First of all, it is Stella-obaachan who has helped me.

And here Japan…No, this isn’t even earth, I hear this place is the Resser(レッセル) village in the Lemu(レーム) continent. Even I, a Elementary school student understands that this is the Lemu continent and not earth.

Besides, the words that Stella-obaachan is speaking is not Japanese. Why the words that are not japanese are understood by me, is something I do not know.

That’s right, in addition people with black hair and eyes doesn’t exist.

Above all else this is not earth, the reason why I am confident(..)it is.

I look at Stella-obaachan before my eyes.

The name becomes the katakana notation from a kanji.(TL Note: Pretty Sure he’s talking about his name becoming katakana instead of kanji in status screen)
Demon Eyes of The Underworld? Because of this is that why all this can be seen?
In any case, it seems I’m not able to return to my original world, I do not mean to return.
Such a shit like world I never had the intent of going back to.
Fortunately I had the knowledge of games, regarding the status screen I was able to understand right away.
In this new world, I’ll be on the side of that deprives.

    …wait, he’s an Elementary School Student? His thought process screams “angsty teen” to me….. Plus, what type of household is heavily in debt and still lets there elementary school kid play rpg’s? Was the conversation “Honey, I think we should sell the computer/game system.” “No dear, let’s just get rid of the kid instead.”

      Maybe he went to a friends house to play. We really didn’t get enough of a pre reincarnation character build to be able to make judgments. I think of it as flavor text like the background of a weapon in a game,

    • If it’s old style computer, it might not worth the effort to sell it, since this is Japan we are talking about. Perfectly working computers get thrown to the trash everyday~

      No, the dangerous factor is the extreme youthfulness of the MC. With that age, his previous life’s experience and skills are of no use to him in next world, since they are nonexistent anyway. It would be a generic fantasy genre, not reincarnating.

        Well, you know, even poor kids in my place spending most of their money earned as a beggar in inteenet cafe. Playing dota or other rpg, so… I think the prologue still makes sense…

        But why father-in-law, instead of step-father?

        Really? I guess that Japanese live action drama that i saw is not accurate . It is like CSI where the mc have a very accurate detective sense . too much he have guess that the female lead visited a cheap hotel. Case is worker fall of building he found out it is suicide so the family didn’t get a yen ,

      • Actually, even in Vietnam suicide is covered in certain insurance contract, with a suitable long period. From the start of contract, to the time when that condition is covered, is minimum 1 year. I am sure a mature market like Japan have that and more.

        If the adjustor see that the child doesnt have the tendency to suicide, healthy, living with careful guardian, the rate/fee is not high at all. Meaning the guardians had incentives to treat that boy well at the signing time and a few month later to fool the insurance adjustor. Later on, the time until the contract is applicable, they just ignore him. Not abuse him too much because if it’s discovered the contract still can be nulled and voided.

      • His death by the hand of the beneficiary of the contract, which is his stepfather, will null and void the suicide option. The stepfather and his mother must disguise his death as accident or suicide to both escape the murder charge and can have the suicide compensation.

        You know the yakuza scenarios, where the mafia force a debtor to pay with this body. Other than selling organs to buyers in medical industry, this is another way to get money from the life of a debtor.
