Inheriting a Lost Bloodline, My First Task is to have heirs?!

Chapter 1: Chapter 1 - A Book Lover’s Wish

Hi, I’m Luna, a total fan of transmigration novels. I am a 26-years old, average-looking, normal office worker. I have been working in my company since I was in college so that was about 7 years now. Just so you know, I am from Earth and the country where I came from is somewhere in Asia. I got black hair, tanned skin, around 5’5 in height, in between chubby and fat I guess (that’s what you get when you sit all the time in front of a computer at work for 7 years). I have had a few boyfriends before but things seem to never work out and they conveniently always find an excuse about something that is wrong with me. I am not stupid. I know it is another woman who is prettier, richer, sexier or whatever ”-ER” you can think of. My human life is boring and reading is the only thing that makes me happy. It gets my mind off of the stressful things and the day-to-day tasks my slave driver of a boss gives me.

Going back on my reading hobby, I would always look for stories that is quite opposite with what the real world is since it’s fun and it teases the limits of my imagination. I like stories where women can have many husbands (polyandry for the win!), men get pregnant and give birth instead (cause they should know how it feels lol), worlds where there is a system to back you up to make you strong or pretty (level up! level up!), worlds with magic, curses, dragons, elves, demons, fairies, immortality and what not as well as worlds where you can marry as many cute animal husbands (they are so fluffy I’m gonna die!). You name it, I’ve read it. Maybe you are wondering, ”Doesn’t she have anything else better to do?”. Well... It’s just a hobby, a way to lower stress and to use up my time off of work if I get one. Can’t I spend my time off the way I want to? I also have a life you know? I know it’s boring to just go to work then back home then work again in an endless cycle. It’s not bad to dream too in that little world I have created in my head. I won’t lose anything anyways even if I wish that maybe in my next life (if there is one, strongly hoping for reincarnation here), I will be given a chance to live in another world with a backstory from one of the genres I loved to read (hoping strongly for polyandry here!). It’s just a wish and I know it isn’t my birthday! I have the right to dream too!

Everything was just part of wishful thinking just like any other day but who knew that my wish will come true so quickly.

It was just a cool, autumn day. I am feeling sick. I guess I am getting the flu due to the gradually decreasing temperatures. The weather is getting colder as days go by and it seems like everybody has gotten sick too. I really think this is the fault of my seat mate at work who keeps on sneezing! I guess it’s about time I will be sick too. It will snow soon. My favorite season is coming.

I went home after work like any other day. It was way past working hours actually. It’s nothing new when you have a slave-driver boss who loves overtimes like nobody has a life after work. I have been needing to stay for 2-3 hours after the shift is over just to get to the unfair deadlines set by the company. I have been taking over time for more than 2 weeks now. Sometimes, I regret doing too well with tasks given to me by my boss since you just get more things to do, more responsibilities, etc for the same pay.

I am feeling so weak and dizzy by the time I got home. I don’t even have the strength to prepare dinner and it is not like I had the time to buy stuff I could cook from the supermarket too. My grumbling stomach is not helping this situation either. I am hungry for sure but I feel more lethargic than that. This is one down-side of being alone. Nobody is waiting for you to come home. No one will cook for you when you are hungry and no one will take care of you or buy you medicine when you are feeling sick. I am not getting dramatic here. It just the reality of my situation so shut it. I am not going there! I don’t have the time to cry and drown in self-pity. Everything has its pros and cons.

I changed my clothes to my favorite baggy, haggard outfit and dropped face first on my bed. It’s good that I don’t have to go to work tomorrow (My sweet time off!). At least, my boss has a bit of consideration for his sick company slave.

I feel so dizzy due to my high fever that my eyes immediately started to droop after hitting the bed. I rolled over and got off the bed to go to the kitchen. I only have enough energy to boil some hot water (thanks for electric kettles) and make some ginger tea. My co-worker said it will help me sweat out the fever, warm up my stomach and keep me from losing my voice. I don’t have the energy to go to the pharmacy so this home remedy is just perfect. If any of those three effects he said would work on me, I would already be contented. I don’t feel like disturbing anybody to get the meds too. I am a grown up and I can take care of myself! I decided to just wrap myself in my comfy blanket and sleep. My head hurts so much. I hope I will have a dreamless sleep tonight so at least I can catch up on all rest I have been missing due to the overtime I have been doing for the past month. I think I will feel better when I wake up tomorrow.
