Mushoku Tensei: This Time, I'll Say Goodbye Properly

(A story devoted solely to Sylphie. If you don’t like that, don’t read. The protagonist’s name has four characters. The pace is a little slow, and at around 2,000 words per chapter, some details may not be written very well. Most of the story focuses on Sylphie, and characters including Rudy also don’t get much screen time. The first dozen or so chapters are all slice-of-life, with no battles. There’s no golden finger; the protagonist’s only cheat is a little magic knowledge in his head. I’ve finished stacking all the disclaimers.)

This is the story of Elindor Peregrine, an ordinary yet not unremarkable little person. It’s my story.

I came to the world of Mushoku Tensei, met Sylphie, and grew up alongside her. I had my moments of confusion, joy, and tears, and I did things that changed the course of other people’s lives.

My life was very short, but it was also filled with all kinds of happiness. If there really are gods in this world, I think I would be grateful to them. (Of course, the Human God can go find somewhere to be buried.)

And then there’s the love of my life, Sylphiette. I’m grateful she came into my life, and I’m sorry to her, too. I really didn’t expect that, as I sat in my wheelchair in the park and closed my eyes, seeing her looking so flustered would leave me feeling both guilty and warm inside.

“To pass away under the gaze of the one you love.”

There’s a certain charm to it.
