Reincarnated As An Ogre, I’m Going To Enjoy Life In This Other World! - Chapter 1

My name is Kanegiri Hayato, and I’m an 18-year-old a first-year university student. My record of being single matches my age—18 years.

I entered college with the goal of finding a girlfriend and making the most of my university years, but now, I’m dying.

Let me tell you a bit about my past. I’ve been sickly since I was young—if I did any physical activity, I’d immediately get winded, and if I got wet in the rain, I’d always come down with a fever the next day. I also caught the flu every year.

I had a small appetite, so I was tiny and skinny. I couldn’t play outside much and always had to sit out during physical education at school.

Everyone at school was somewhat considerate of me, and there was no bullying. In that sense, I think my school life wasn’t all that bad.

However, I didn’t want to worry my parents, so I couldn’t go out and hang out with friends. As a result, I never had what you’d call a true friend.

Gradually, I started feeling burdened by how much people were looking out for me, so I began distancing myself.

It was only natural that I ended up alone. But when I became a university student, I had grown a little and felt better than before. I decided to turn things around and give it my best.

I thought I’d try to make friends, get a girlfriend, and live a normal college life like everyone else.

Just then, it was discovered that I had cancer.

By the time it was discovered, it was already too late. When the doctor told me, honestly, I felt more sorry for my parents than I did about dying.

They had looked after me in so many ways, and I thought that becoming a college student meant I could finally start standing on my own, but now I was just going to cause them more grief.

What really broke me was hearing my mother say, ‘I’m sorry I couldn’t give you a healthy body.’ She cried as she embraced me, and I cried as I held her tight in return.

I tried my best to fight, but no miracle happened. I was now on the brink of death. My parents were crying and saying something, but I could no longer hear them, and my vision was fading.

What was the point of my life?

God, if I am to be reincarnated, please give me a robust and resilient body, one that won’t succumb to injury or disease. This was the wish I made on the verge of death.

“I shall grant that wish.”

A voice… I could hear it…
