1: Re:Zero - Starting Life in Poverty! "Cough, cough…" I spat out blood as I fell onto the ground deep inside a cold, dark cave. Surrounding me were undead monsters—skeletons—wielding rusted swords and spears. Their bones rattled as they drew closer. In contrast, I was covered in heavy injuries and completely out of mana. I no longer had any means to fight back. I was completely cornered. "Hah… I guess this is the end. My life was the worst…" I muttered as I looked back at the twenty years of my life as it drew to its end. Firstly, the household I was born into was the worst. My family was technically granted the title of baron, but it was only in name. We lived in constant poverty. My grandfather was a decent magician, so he rose to the ranks of the aristocracy through his achievements in battle, but the land he was granted was so barren that he couldn't live an extravagant life by any means. The people who live on our land were criminals and sickly people who ...

2. I aided in exposing a conspiracy.   While Adol’s identity was being exposed by Calva in Sefera, Hausenland was experiencing a short summer. “Adol’s starting his trials?” Harland opened his mouth as he sat around a chessboard. His honey-colored hair sparkled in the light of the sun coming from the window. “That seems to be the case.” Sitting opposite of him was his younger brother, Norbert. He listlessly picked up his knight piece and moved it. “And the place he went to was Sefera. Even though we have any decent connection to them.” The knight Norbert moved was taken down. Still, Norbert didn’t look at all vexed. Instead, he sighed at his older brother concerned about their cousin. “Well, the goal is to make a connection.” If a commercial exchange happens between the countries, many more doors will be opened. The first step is important and thus the hardest. “There’s no need for Adol to work that hard. He’s only 15.” “You mean he’s already 15,” Norbert w...

The second day of his stay in the Sefera Kingdom was a magnificent sunny day. The colorful flowers of this southern nation were in full bloom, and even though Adol was melting from this unbearable heat, his beauty was still a match to them. Unfortunately, Adol couldn’t afford to enjoy their beauty under these clothes. “I’ve been waiting for you, princess.” Ray escorted him to a courtyard where the king of Sefera, Calva was waiting. Adol had purposely made it so he arrived right at the appointed time. Among the “The 100 Rules to Live as a Lady” Linol had drummed in him, one was that a lady should be slightly late. “I apologize, Your Majesty. I made you wait here.” When Adol noticed Calva, he rushed over with quick steps. Seeing Adol’s apologetic face and lowered brows, Calva replied, “It’s fine,” with a smile. “Time spent waiting for a beautiful princess is no bother. Your hand, princess.” Damn it…! His performance as an adorable princess ended up giving Calva a chance...

  Afterward, the mannerisms and etiquette of a princess—“The 100 Rules to Live as a Lady” were thoroughly drummed into him by Linol personally. The corset wrapped around him was painful, and the wig was heavy. There was a time when the corset was squeezed tightly to constrict the body of girls to make them have beautiful, thin waists. He was glad to not have been born in such a time…! When he wore a measly 5 cm set of heels, Adol screamed that his feet were in pain. Having to dance with such shoes on would be torture. Because Adol was no longer Linol’s actual height with the high heels, he was able to avoid wearing such murderous weapons on his feet. (That just shows how much effort girls put in to look pretty…) He cracked a smile at how he only had a taste of the pain girls went through with tight corsets and painful shoes. He respected them. After the blood-soaked training finished and Adol arrived in Sefera, he could act more princess-like than the actually Princess ...
