Grimrose, slumbering peacefully, abruptly awoke, muttering, "What in damnation? Where am I?"
"You are at the genesis of existence."
"What? Wait, who might you be?"
"Child, such knowledge is beyond your comprehension."
"So why am I here?"
"Hmm, why are you not shocked, flustered, or terrified?"
"I mean, I'm here, so I might be dead."
"You're a curious existence."
"Ok, so why am I here?"
"I shall grant you a choice, as you were once the sovereign of the cosmos and the firstborn of creation."
"W-what?"
"As I said, choose: would you wish to reincarnate within your so-called favorite novel, or slumber in the eternal expanse of time?"
"If what you said is true, then I was once powerful, right?"
"Indeed."
"So I was once a ruler, like in some novels?"
"Yes, what you humans call novels."
"Then I choose to reincarnate"
"Good choice"
"Thanks I guess" as Grimrose uttered that, his vision suddenly faded
"Brother, in this life I wish you happiness "

Grimrose awoke in a familiar place. "Where am I? Why does this feel so familiar?"
Suddenly, a torrent of memories flooded him. "So I reincarnated as that entity said, but why doesn't it hurt remembering my memories?"
'If I remember correctly, it should hurt; in the novel I read, it hurt, so that was false, haha.' Grimrose was chuckling because it's amusing how he thought it would hurt.
As he recalled his memories, Grimrose remembered that he's the prince of Arcadia, one of the kingdoms on Arthe. Yes, it's not Earth; it's Arthe. I really reincarnated in my favorite novel, *Rise of the Magic Sovereign*.
'So I really reincarnated, not transmigrated, but why did I only remember my past when I'm going to the academy?' Grimrose was pondering why he remembered something. "Status."

'Wow, I'm strong, stronger than the protagonist. So I reincarnated as an anomaly that didn't exist in the novel.'
"Hmm, I look handsome. What was the charm stat of the protagonist again?" Grimrose was thinking when it suddenly struck him. "Right, it was B-, so I have a higher charm stat than him."
"This novel doesn't have a bad ending, so I'll do whatever I want."
'But first, let's find a mirror.' Grimrose was walking to the bathroom to look at his face. You ask why he knows where the bathroom is? Because he just remembered his past, nothing more, so his memories of his former self, or his self in this world, are his to access.
Grimrose was staring at the mirror with mouth agape as he exclaimed "wow"
