Fist King - Prologue - Episode 2: 18 Years Ago

Fist King: I Will Save the Earth from Zero in Another Reincarnation, Starting from Real World 

Prologue ② 18 Years Ago

Returning to my room, a large envelope on my desk caught my eye.

【To Satou Kazuya】

My name was written on the envelope, which read "Admission Guide."

Checking the postmark, the date written was 18 years ago. I hastily looked inside and found a booklet.

【Shizuoka Prefectural Swordsman First Junior High School Admission Guide】

(Swordsman Junior High School?)

I rechecked the address on the envelope to confirm my name was written there. No matter how many times I looked, the address and name matched, so it was definitely for me.

(In my thirty years of life, I've never heard of a Swordsman Junior High School...)

I picked up the booklet to look at its contents. Tentatively, I turned a page to see what was written, and part of a page made me freeze.

◆

Advancement Records (Previous Year)

・Shizuoka Prefectural Knight School... 3 students

・Shizuoka Prefectural Magic School... 2 students

・Shizuoka Prefectural Support School... 5 students

・Shizuoka Prefectural Adventurer School... 11 students

Other ordinary high school advancements... 219 students

◆

(Are there knight or magic schools in Japan...?)

These advancement records were written to stand out, so they immediately caught my eye. My gaze stopped on items I had never seen in my life before, and I reread them many times.

Other pages introduced the principal's greeting and the school's facilities. After finishing reading the school guide, I placed the booklet on the desk and sat in the chair.

(Let's calmly sort out the current situation.)

○

This is my family home.

It is now the world of 18 years ago, and I am scheduled to enter junior high school.

Are there schools that teach about knights, magic, adventurers?

Are there monsters?

○

I wrote down what I had thought about in the notebook placed in front of me. Looking back at what I wrote, some things seemed questionable as to whether they were true.

(I need to confirm if this information is correct...)

I'm supposed to go shopping soon, so I'll subtly ask then. Remembering the conversation in the living room, I hurriedly changed my clothes.

After I finished changing and went downstairs, my father, who had finished preparing to go out, was waiting.

"You're late. I thought you fell asleep again."

"Sorry, I got held up getting ready."

"That game might sell out."

I calmly followed my father, who was heading to the entrance laughing. I remembered having a similar exchange once before.

At that time, I received "Versus Online" as an admission gift.

(Does my father know the name of the game he's buying today...?)

After leaving the house and getting into the car, I asked my father.

"What's the name of the game we're buying today again?"

"Have you forgotten the name of the game you've been talking about every night?"

"Just confirming, confirming!"

My father looked at me curiously. I feigned composure and waited for my father to answer.

"It's DWC Dungeon World Collection, isn't it?"

I had never heard of a VR game with that name, so I stopped, lost in thought. When I said nothing, my father happily continued talking.

"You were so happy that you could explore dungeons all over the world, weren't you? You're going to work hard to become an adventurer even at school, right?"

My father said that to me with a smile, then started the car's engine. From my father's words, new information was confirmed.

○There are multiple dungeons all over the world.

"You have to let Dad experience it too!"

My father happily started driving the car, leaving me bewildered. Conversely, my expression reflected in the car window grew cloudy, and I became increasingly confused.
