Chapter 1 - Reincarnation of serfend brothers

Introduction

{

Story of two brothers who were summoned to another world as punishment by the gods.

Little brother: Ortho Serfend (nickname: Orth)

Elder brother: Aetheria Serfend (nickname: Aeth)

}

Ortho: Hey, big bro. I wanted to ask you something.

Aeth: Uhh, I'm trying to study. But what is it? Go ahead and ask.

Ortho: Why do these main characters leave their opponents alive? They know they've killed so many innocent people, but still let them live so they don't become evil. Yet, in the end, the villain kills more people. Doesn't that mean the main character indirectly caused those deaths?

Aeth: Yeah, I know what you're talking about. It's about the anime you watched last night. Indeed, I think you're right.

(The two brothers were chatting like this, unaware of the tragedy about to happen.)

A sudden blinding flash fills the hostel room. Both feel their bodies lifted and fading away.

Ortho: Aaah! What... what is happening!?

Aeth: Ortho!? Stay with me!

Ortho: Where are you, big bro? I can't see you.

(Both become unconscious.)

(Ortho wakes and tries to move. When he lifts his hand, he sees it's tiny.)

Ortho: (tries to speak, but his body can't form words yet)

System: Unable to speak due to age. Activating Telepathy.

System: Successfully activated Telepathy skill.

Ortho (in mind): What the heck is this voice??

Ortho (in mind): What just happened? Am I dreaming? Where is Aeth?

System: Trying to connect telepathy to Aetheria Serfend...

System: Successfully connected through telepathy to Aetheria Serfend.

Ortho (telepathy): Aeth, can you hear me? Where are you?

(Aeth wakes from unconsciousness.)

Aeth (telepathy): Ortho, is that you? Where are you? I can't see you.

(Aeth gets up and notices he is now a child, but focuses on finding Ortho first.)

(A strange, echoing voice fills both their minds.)

Gods: You... have disobeyed. For your actions, you shall face punishment in this world.

Aeth: Wait... punishment for what!?

Ortho (telepathy, fearful): I don't know... but something terrifying is coming. Please, big bro, help me—I can't get up!

(A huge, blood-covered beast appears nearby.)

Aeth: Ortho... what's happening? What is coming? Tell me!

Ortho (telepathy): It's a monster! Please help me!

Aeth: Monster?? What??

(The beast had a cub, which was unconscious.)

Beast: i can sence kindness deep in side you so please raise my kid... I won't be able to li—

(Before the beast can finish, it dies beside Ortho. The cub lies near Ortho's hand.)

(Aeth finds the cub and rushes toward it. He sees the dead beast and a sleeping puppy beside a small child.)

Aeth (telepathy): Wait, bro, I'm coming. I found a little baby here... I think someone left him here.

Ortho (telepathy): Big bro, is that you holding me?

Aeth (aloud): Is it you, Orth? Why are you like this?

Ortho (telepathy): Yes, bro, it's me. I don't know how I became like this, but why are you also like this??

Ortho (joy, telepathy): Is this really an isekai thing? I can't believe it—this is really happening!

Aeth: I guess you're right—we're in an isekai world! I like this too, but what will our parents think? They'll be worried about us.

Ortho (telepathy): Yeah, I know. But I don't think our stepfather will be sad. They'll be happy to know we're "dead" in that world.

Backstory

Aeth and Ortho's father died when they were in school. Their mother remarried her friend to raise the Serfend brothers. Their stepfather did not like them—he married Ortho's mother for her property. He always treated both brothers as strangers.

Aeth: Forget about it—the past is the past. Let it go! We're in a new world, so first, let's get the basics and some food.

Ortho (telepathy): Yeah, we won't get anything by remembering the past. But I can't move in this body, so big bro, only you can handle this situation.

Aeth: Yeah, I know. Now I have to raise two kids. (Smiles)

Ortho (telepathy): Yo, it's not my fault I'm in kid form. And since you're the big brother, you have responsibilities. Also, about this puppy—I know you can handle him too.

Aeth: Yeah, I know. First, let's see what we have here.

Ortho (telepathy): Bro, since we're in an isekai, there must be a level system and other game-type features.

Aeth: Yeah, let's check.

Aeth: But How?

Aeth: Your stats are too low since you're in a child body.

Ortho (telepathy): Yeah, maybe these are just our starting stats.

Aeth: Until I know, you've seen so much anime and played so many games. I haven't played much, but I did watch some anime.

Ortho (telepathy): Yeah, that makes me your senior. Haha!

Aeth: Yeah, yeah, whatever. First, let's find a place to make a base.

(Aeth grabs the puppy and Ortho and wanders into the forest. They find a small cave.)

Aeth: This place is good, but it might be the house of some carnivore creatures.

(Aeth places Ortho and the puppy inside the cave and goes out to find materials to protect them. He collects a wooden club and some berries.)

Aeth: I'm back with some food.

Ortho: Thank you, big bro!

(Aeth feeds Ortho. After a while, the puppy wakes up.)

Aeth: Look, Ortho, the puppy has woken up.

Ortho (telepathy): Bro, he's so cute!

(The cub isn't scared of Ortho or Aeth but is too weak to stand.)

Aeth: Here, eat these berries.

(The cub sniffs the berries and eats.)

Aeth: Don't worry, little one! We'll help you.

(Aeth prepares to leave the cave but hears a strange noise. A Wild rabbit approaches.)

Aeth: What?? This rabbit has huge, sharp teeth!

Ortho (telepathy): Bro, hit it with the club! It's weak in this world. Go fast.

Aeth: Okay, okay!

(Aeth charges and attacks. The rabbit dodges quickly.)

Aeth: This rabbit is so fast! I can't catch up!

(The puppy barks to distract it. Aeth hits the rabbit with full force — it flies out and dies.)
