Reversal

"Child... What are you doing?"

A female voice sounded behind Christian.

"How do you turn this thing on?"

Christian asked without turning around, as he continued to try to study the strange connections he saw behind the screen.

"The screen?"

"The computer"

"From here"

"...?"

Turning in confusion, Christian first encounters the woman who spoke to him.

She was an older woman, easily in her 50's, her skin was white, with short dark hair, but with lots of gray hair all over, she wore large glasses over her brown eyes, while wearing clothes that seemed to be typical of women who attend church a lot, with a very loose and long skirt, while wearing a thick sweater on top, apparently not caring about the heat that was starting to plague everyone.

"Where?"

"Here" The woman replied, pointing under the table, causing Christian to frown in confusion.

Turning his gaze to where the woman was pointing, Christian comes across the clunkiest CPU he's ever seen in his two lives.

"Because they hide it under the table? It's hard to find it if they do that..."

"Because there's no room in the desks..."

"Oh... What's your name, ma'am?"

"Eve... Eve Hill."

"My mom's name is Eva, Eva Grey. Their names are pretty close."

"Am I glad?"

"You should be, mom is a very great woman"

"..."

"Thanks for telling me how to turn this thing on"

"Boy, you're strange"

"The other kids often tell me that"

"..."

"If you don't mind, I'll start using this thing" Christian spoke as he sat down in front of the computer, keeping his eyes on the woman.

"Do you have permission to skip class?"

"The principal allowed me to"

"Did she give you any papers?"

"No."

"..."

"..."

They stared at each other, while both shared the same bored expression.

"I won't bother to send you back to class, just don't make any noise"

Shook her head the woman shook her head, then turned and walked away.

"What a strange woman... Where did she come from? I've never seen her before..." Christian muttered, looking oddly at the woman slowly making her way towards her desk, a few feet further away than his.

"What a weird kid, he always ignores everyone, but today he's talking nonsense like it's nothing" Eve muttered, as she sat down in front of his desk, quickly opening the 'solitaire' card game on the computer.

...

Then...

"What do I look for first?" I pondered as I looked at the browser screen.

So much information I need to gather...

Let's start with my money source, books, and novels.

Which one should I write first? And most importantly will there be any books from my old place in this world?

Let's start.

Mmmm...

Game of Thrones?

I suppose that's a good choice, but my first book should be something for kids, it would save me some annoying questions.

Harry Potter?

It was certainly one of the most exploited franchises, in my time the author made a lot of money, even after her death the income went to her children and grandchildren.

Incredibly, this woman turned out to earn more than a billion dollars, considering that the author only receives a small fraction of her work.

"Harry Potter"

Quickly typing in the name of the book, he pressed on search, waiting with anticipation and curiosity for the result to come up.

"Nothing..."

The result was disappointing. For starters, it took minutes for the result to appear, something that almost got my fist smashing against the screen. But more disappointing is that nothing like a book appears, just a few junk pages with no real results whatsoever.

I feel like I'm failing at something.

Harry Potter...

Oh

I'm so stupid.

We are in a reverse world, the name of the book will not be that of a man.

But what name would he use?

"Let's see... Harriet Potter"

Sigh

Another minute of waiting to come to nothing.

I guess I'm too shallow, I should try something more open-ended.

"Magical fantasy books and novels"

Let's see...

June, the fire mage.

Julieth and the magic of everything.

The magic of the show.

The return of the demon empress.

I will capture them all.

I'll capture them all?

Oh, it's a light novel.

Sounds interesting.

*Click*

"Let's see... your synopsis is... Juliana is reborn in a fantasy world with incredible powers... What does she decide to be? A heroine? Queen? No, she'll be the goddess of the harem... the goddess of the harem? Maybe I'm misunderstanding it, let's look at her genres... magical sex fantasy... tentacles... netori... clones... Filf? What the fuck is Filf?"

Let's see...

"What is Filf? Search... Filf comes from a television series dedicated to comedy, becoming popular among young girls, its meaning is 'Father I'd Like to Fuck"

Oh

That's...

Strange.

I guess in this world it's kind of normal.

I used to consume a lot of Milf content.

If I become a father would I be a Filf?

Sounds like a nice future...

Do women watch this kind of stuff in this world?

Well...

I can't be a hypocrite.

It should be more than normal in this world.

Just like in mine where men would create fanfic to trap them all with over 100 genres of perversities...

But seriously...

Tentacles?

Clones?!?

Sigh

Is there such a thing as Nhentai?

In my world, it was said that the most famous genre was lolicon.

In this world is it shotacon?

It would be interesting to read it, right now I am a shota after all.

Am I the fantasy of many women?

"I guess I'll see it someday, I don't know how far along the technology is this year, but schools usually have all the histories saved and I don't want to get feedback on my searches to mom"

I kept searching everything I could about the book, even with keywords like 'Aqua burp' or 'Accio' but it yielded no real results.

So Harry Potter doesn't exist.

I only managed to find a few magic books, I haven't read them, but they look with good reviews, and apparently they sold a lot.

So I could start with that project, I would have to change the genders of all the characters. Even change the plot a bit when you mention pregnancies or things like that, I could also polish the story a bit more.

I still don't understand how the basilisk could get into the school's pipes with its mammoth size.

Also, I don't know if the countries described in the book are the same as in the book, essentially England.

I should look for a world map and memorize it, that kind of information is never too much, I could also take advantage of it to see what I can find about history.

I realized that I drew conclusions very quickly, practically I only know the common things from school, the discovery of America, the American Revolution, etc.

The truth is that I know almost nothing about the other continents...

"Maybe I have no use for this knowledge right now, but as they say, knowledge is power"

Already with a clear goal, I dedicated myself to looking for every kind of world information I could, from the history of a small country to the millenary histories of Asian countries, I made sure to look for every last thing possible on the internet.

In this way, I completely lost track of time, as my mind seemed to go into a trance-like state, reading and reading endlessly, analyzing, learning, and remembering every fragment found.

"Child!"

But as I was absorbed in the knowledge, a hand asserted itself on my shoulder as it shook me somewhat forcefully, causing a frown to appear on my face.

Turning around with some anger and confusion, I find Eve, the librarian "Why are you yelling? I'm not deaf..."

"I've been talking to you for 5 minutes, I'm telling you that you should leave"

"Huh? Why?"

"You've been on the computer all morning, I won't ask you why you skipped so many classes, but you have to go eat"

"All morning? Lunch? What time is it?"

"It's 13:15..."

"13:15... How long have I been here?"

"About three and a half hours..."

"Holy shit..."

"Watch your vocabulary, children shouldn't swear..."

"Thanks for letting me know... I guess I'll go eat"

"*sigh* just make sure it doesn't happen again... as the first person to be scolded will be me"

"Thanks..."

I mumble in a daze.

"It's okay, I'll get back to my thing"

Eve smiled slightly then turned and headed back to her desk.

Three and a half hours?

Since when did I put up with so much studying?

My limit was half an hour...

I used to get bored quickly and since I was always smarter, I was able to learn everything faster, causing half an hour of studying each day to be enough for me.

But now...

I felt wonderful.

All that knowledge made me feel so relaxed.

It was so nice that I lost myself in that feeling.

"I can't complain" I smiled with satisfaction, then turned off the computer and took a notebook out of my backpack "In this life I hardly ever used notebooks in classes and only used them for homework... my memory didn't need it, but... What if at some point I lose this super memory? What if my memory becomes normal? I know it's unlikely, but nothing I know is absolute. That's why I find it vital to have the most important things recorded, even if I never get to use them"

"So... I mustn't write anything that will give me away, you never know if one day I may lose these records, I can certainly get into big trouble if I write about another world or details of the future..." I whispered thoughtfully, as I started walking towards the school casino "I guess I should write down all the important books as soon as possible, it doesn't matter if I can't publish them right now, since that's the hardest thing to remember if my memory becomes 'normal'... songs and such things don't bother me, even in my other life I knew everything by heart..."

"I guess I should start with a summary about the history of this world, if I ever lose this memory it will be the most boring thing to study... yes, I'll start with that" Nodding to myself, I open the notebook, take out the pencil I keep inside and start writing quickly, not bothering to look my way, knowing like the back of my hand the way to the cafeteria.

After hours of study, I could confirm what I had thought before, everything is practically the same, at least as far as major wars, peoples, empires, and countries are concerned.

The most important thing is that the world map is the same as the one in my world. I don't know if the cities inside will be completely the same, but it doesn't matter much, after all, I only knew a little bit of New York and nothing else.

The funny thing is that the course of history was very different at some points.

In this world, women always fought in wars, while men used to play the role of housewife.

The most intriguing thing is that there is a variable in that reality, something that caught my attention.

The Spartans.

In my world they were known to be perfect warriors and practically killing machines, obviously, all warriors who fought in wars were men.

I thought that in this world they would be female Spartans, but curiously in this world they were also men, it was said that they followed the commandment of the son of Ares, a man named Leonidas.

The known history is quite similar, separated as children, they trained 10 hours a day, even the death of Leonidas was the same, riddled by the Persian army, but changed in small very important details, in the history written by the ancients, it is said that Leonidas was given to the people by Ares the god of war, allowing his son to lead Sparta to victory.

But for some reason, the last sighting of Sparta ended the same year Leonidas died, historians claim that Sparta was destroyed by the Persians because of their rebellion, but my logical thinking does not allow me to understand how men who fought for the honor were annihilated so easily and without leaving any trace.

But well... I guess it's no use thinking about things of the past, although their history certainly makes me admire them. Practically like an unstoppable army of women in my old world, I would certainly be admired for fighting against the dominant sex.

---------------------------

Author's note.

I'm sorry that the first chapters are so slow, I think I made a mistake by wanting to explain everything so thoroughly, so from chapter 35 o 40, I will start to explain everything quickly and giving small jumps of history to the important parts, at the same time I will give only the right details of the events. But now the chapters are already written, I will dedicate myself to give at least a small explanation of the world in general, which will be in the next chapter that I will also upload today in a few more minutes. Even so, I will try to give logic to everything in the world, I find it quite strange that details come out in the novels without any logic whatsoever.
