Ever since that dragon incident, I haven't left the manor in a while. 

I was afraid that I'll get attacked again and so I've been cooped up in the house for almost a month now. It wasn't really all that bad, though.

Apparently, there's a library here so I've been in there the majority of the time. I was able to get alot of information as well as what my spells were capable of.

The downside was I wasn't able to figure out how to use any offensive magic spells. I saw a few spells in the book but when I tried to use them, nothing happened.

I don't know if there were any special method to use the spells but in order to find out, I'll have to ask some people because the books here aren't helping me. The problem with that is my fear of going outside.

Geez, just one encounter with a dragon and I'm bounded in my room. I really do need to get out of here.

I'm not really a people person but staying in an empty mansion or castle alone isn't healthy. I'll likely lose my mind if I don't get out of here but I'm afraid that I'll get attacked again.

To be honest, I shouldn't really be afraid since I have pretty high stats, but even so, I could've died by that dragon if I didn't act like I did. I'm not sure if I can do that again.

Plus, I can't use any magic to fight! I can only protect myself and that's it.

I could also create things and manipulate stuff but besides that, I was basically just some very defensive magician. This is started to get ridiculous.

That's it, I'm leaving! 

I get out of my room and go all the way to the front door that leads to the outside. I placed my hand on the doorknob but my hand didn't move.

I tried to open the door but my hand wouldn't budge. Come on!

I just decided to leave this place and my body is telling me no? Man, this isn't getting me anywhere.

Hmm, what can I do to get myself to go outside without the fear of getting attacked? Oh, I know!

I'll make bodyguards so they can protect me. If I had people that I built to protect me then I shouldn't have anything to be afraid of.

With that in mind, I then headed towards the lab. Oh yeah, apparently, we have a lab as well.

I've been to the lab a few times but only for learning a few things. Back in high school, I was a major robotics genius. 

During the competitions, I would almost always get first place. My past used to be fun, didn't it?

After I became an adult, I had to do a lot of work but even then, I could relax due to all my hard work. Still, I'm not sure coming here is good luck or bad luck.

Usually, when the main character is transported to another world, he or she was either summoned or reincarnated. I don't appear to be either since I'm still in my body from my old world.

Usually, when you're reincarnated, you're reborn into a new body and in this case, it would be a baby but when I got hit by that truck, I was sent here instead of my otherworld mother's womb. Although, I do look younger than I originally did but not that much.

Judging from my appearance, I appear to be in my nineteen-year-old body again. I used to be twenty-five-years-old so I guess when I got transported here, I aged backward a little.

 Well, it doesn't really bother me that much. The good thing is is that I'm still an adult.

If I was transported into my fifteen or sixteen-year-old body then there would be a major problem. I'm not sure what the legal adult age is in this world so if I was back to being sixteen and found out that there was school or something, then that would be a major issue.
