He felt a small gust of wind breeze through his hair
it was cold...
He could also feel himself lying down on a comfortable bed, the nostalgic softness of the pillow supporting his neck and this cold air that is constantly soothing his skin lastly this sentimental feeling he's currently having.
'What is this feeling....?'
As soon as he slowly unrolled his eyes Xarth can see a very familiar ceiling.
'Am...I back again? At my house?'
Lee Son stood up from his bed and walked out of his bedroom he can see his living room again and a pile of books on the table naturally it was the 3 Volumes of 'THE CONQUEST OF ZERO' next to it was some decorative plants and a Smartphone...
'A SMARTPHONE!!'
Lee Son quickly sprints from the bedroom door to the table and hurriedly took the smartphone.
'If remembered correctly when I came back here I didn't find any smartphone laying around so what gives?
'Anyway, this is great!'
Lee Son's mouth started to crawl up at how much he missed this product of science.
'Does this thing even works?'
He pressed the button for 10 secs.....
It works! the smartphone works! it lit up showing his favorite character as it's wallpaper...apps and other icons slowly pop out of its screen.
He has immediately gone through his contact and searched up his friend's name...
'Sung-min'
'Okay! let's call this bastard!'
'Sung-min my friend since college days had the same major and got acquainted at the freshman welcoming party we always gone out to an Internet cafe to play games, we also hang out at my place to eat ramens, read manhwas and novels.
Coincidentally we ended up working for the same publishing company, We were only beginner workers at that time so we always cause mistakes in our parts but we always helped out each other if one's is in a pinchy situation and I genuinely considered him as my best friend.
Many things can be said of Sung-min, but the biggest is his generosity, this is what he's most popular for. Friends frequently count on this and his calm nature especially when they need comforting or support. And He's also the dude who gone on in and recommend me this Novel that I got myself in this complicated mess.'
He started dialing the number...
"Pick up! Pick up!"
Lee Son begins tapping his left foot in anticipation.
*Beep Beep Beep----
"We're sorry, The number you have dialed is either unattended or out of coverage area. Please try you call later."
'Damn let's try one more time.'
*Beep Beep Beep-----
"We're sorry, The number you have-----
Lee Son Ended the call
'Guess this just doesn't work...I mean I'm inside a dream, right? I'm not really in my house or world.'
He started to browse through his apps.
He clicked on the gallery icon and started inspecting through every picture he swiped...The last picture was with his Friend Sung-min when they were out drinking
'Ha...I wonder what is he doing right now?? Did he even worry about me when I stopped coming to work? Wait why am I even in this dream what happened?'
Lee Son started to scratch his head as he recalled what had happened before all of this.
A piece of memory struck him.
'It was something about Mana Core...Oh yeah, Soleis awakened my Mana Core, and that what causes that large explosion at the end...But what happened after that I don't recall anything did I die?'
His face begins to form a frown..he let out a quiet sigh.
'Ha...I'm just guessing but I think I didn't die considering this happening.'
'Which is weird! I have dreams of my own home when I'm inside another body plus I'm also inside a novel...let's just go gather information, I don't have time to worry about that.'
He carefully placed the smartphone where he had found it. He glances back at the very interesting and important pile inside the House...
The 3 Volumes of THE CONQUEST OF ZERO
He took the 1st volume of the novel and started to flip through each page to get to the most important part of it.
The chapter was titled.....
'The Appearance of a Hero.'
(A summary of what had happened in the chapter.)
A group of black-robed men with Red Claws mark on their chest started circulating the perimeter of the palace ballroom. They all had their sword out pointing to the necks of the Noblemen inside the ballroom.
*BOOOOMBBBMMMM
Some of the planted bombs started to go off throughout the area causing some of the building's pillars to come crashing down at some of the esteemed guests.
Screams and Chaos filled the room. The terrified Nobleman quickly ran to the exit door to only arrive at their deaths. Countless blood was shed then an unexpected appearance brought a grim light of hope to the eyes of the people inside the room.
A Swordmaster whose eyes were glowing fiery with full of anger at those people who were the cause of his grief, he took his sword out of his scabbard and kick-off to slaughter every robbed man that took something precious from him.
-------
He stood still in the pile of dead bodies. His shabby clothes were soaked in blood his jet black hair flutter from the small gust of winds that garners the attention of every single people in the room.
The room was filled with cheers of the crowds, they felt relief and admiration towards the person whose appearance was out of the ordinary.
They were calling him The Ebony Swordmaster, Hero who saved the palace from the unsuspecting group of Intruders besides they even gave him this opportunity to receive a medal of honor for the first time in 1000 years.
But Zero was not yet Satisfied with that he was still thirsty for blood. his anger grew larger than the day when he departed from the Marquis Wheelmen territory at the thought that others will still get hurt if that unknown organization is left not completely eradicate. So he continued on his quest to destroy this unknown organization that is causing havoc throughout the Plains of the Continents.
He slowly closed the book and thought to himself.
'Hu...I feel like I'm cheating or something...No I'm definitely cheating. I have all this major information on me. On what is yet to happen at my disposal. Well not that I hate it.'
Lee Son started to smile
*CRACKS.
'Cracks? Guess I'm going back...Ahh, I want to stay here longer away from all that mess but it can't be helped.'
The scenery of the house started to shatter leaving up an area filled with the pit of darkness soon a light that glowed brightly shone towards him and.....
