Chereads / Recount of the Hero's Tale / Chapter 2 - 2. The day I was summoned

Chapter 2 - 2. The day I was summoned

It was the last week of December. The weather was extremely cold. One morning, I got up at four as usual and went out for a stroll. As I stepped out of the house, I began to shiver with cold. An extremely cold wind was blowing.

It was piercing. My hands and feet were benumbed with cold. My nose began to run and ears were as cold as ice. I was chilled to the marrow. My legs became stiff and cold. Not a bird chirped. The birds lay huddled together in their nests.

I ran for about a mile to make myself warm but all to no purpose. My feet were almost frozen. It was foggy and misty. Nothing was visible. The grass was covered with frost. Frost had killed all the flowers and vegetation. The trees stood naked. The temperature touched the freezing point.

I hastened home, took a cup of hot, steaming tea and covered myself with a quilt and began to ponder on the part time work that I was currently working. As today was the day to get paid. I began to think about stuff that I will buy as I have no family to spend my money with. As I was orphan since I came to my senses and someone who have yet to get a girlfriend.

But I sure do have places to spend my money on such as buying Japanese, Chinese, Korean light novels which I like reading during my free time. Everything seemed fine and the time to get to my part time job arrived.

I started my work as usual as always and finished it by midnight and started to walk home.

However life sure is full of twist and turns and you don't know what will happen the second you took your eyes off it. As I was walking home I saw a family of three walking while chatting happily. Seeing this I became sad and took out the pocket watch which was inside my trousers. It was a round silver colored watch with many hands on it such that even I don't know whether it really is a pocket watch or just a joke out from someone's innovation towards clock.

Well it was something which I had since birth according to orphanage i grew up. They said that it may be a memento from my parents or some loved one. But those were only my split second thought as I looked at the money which was paid by the store and soon began to ponder on the light novels which I will be buying and the anime I will be watching as starting next day its new year holiday.

Reaching halfway towards home I once again took my pocket watch out and saw the hands but this time it seemed that the the hands are going to merge together to one point. ' Well it sure is something new ' muttering to himself I stuffed the watch back to my trousers.

The boy with the watch : Well its not like one's it merges it will give me powers or send to other world like in the anime or tv serials.

Speaking to himself the boy started walking putting the event behind his mind as he did not care it

But soon he will be sorry for the rest of his life as to why he did not bother looking back to the watch

As soon as he started walking the hands of the clock merged and a bright flash appeared in place of the boy, later making him disappear from this world.

That boy was none other than Arthur who have miraculously transmigrated somewhere without him being in know.

IN THE DARK CAVE

[ Krogan : what is this lousy transmigration . Well i thought that only after when you die you either get reincarnated in a new body or possessed someone's body.

Arthur: Krogan come back to reality, this is not a light novel you are reading or watching a isekai anime. It is a reality and it is cruel to the point where it will want to badly fuc*** with you till you are no longer about to stand.

Krogan: You are right but why are you talking like we are friends, weren't you just bootlicking a while ago.

Arthur: well we are reading and pondering on my glorious life so I think it will be a hassle to bootlick in every second we speak, as this novel is going to be big and will sure take a very long time to complete.

Krogan: Well fine by me, so what happens after the bright light.

Arthur: Well you just need to turn to a new chapter. ]
