Chereads / Getsu: Surviving Alone In Another World / Chapter 3 - It Is What It Is

Chapter 3 - It Is What It Is

-+-

It has been approximately three weeks. Three weeks staying at Nameless's House. More appropriately, I should say this is more of a Small Manor. I was left alone in this big Manor whenever Nameless departed every morning to do what he calls 'chores.'

Nameless is a strange guy. He was so trusting to leave me alone in this house. Wasn't he afraid I might steal something and escape? Come to think of it, this Manor itself has tons of questions. I had never seen where Nameless exits this Manor. For these three weeks, I've been wandering around, hoping to find an entrance or something like that. Though, I found nothing of the sort. This place doesn't have any windows. Was it a design mistake or something? All my questions, however, point out to the man himself. Was he who I thought he was? The Monster feared by Darknessborn? The Purge King that destroyed the skeleton fort single-handedly? Even after these past three weeks, I haven't gotten any information on who he really is. However, I know for a fact that he can use magic. Since I knew that every night he came to my room and performed a spell, my body felt better and better. If he was the Monster Darknessborn feared, why was he this nice? Is he perhaps trying to use my body? Does he rescue me just for the sake of his lust? A part of me refused to believe, and the other constantly panicked whenever we met. I feared that he would do things to satisfy his lust. A part of me always remembers how the goblins 'treated' me. Without compassion or care for my own well-being. Is Nameless truly a monster? I don't think I know who to believe"

"Goblins....." Nameless stopped his movement. He closes his eyes and whispers

[High Order: Spatial Awareness]

Through this, he sensed the goblins with cargoes camping near a cave.

"Cave, huh? Sometimes they make this too easy for me." Said Nameless.

He then raised his hand and chanted.

[Fool's Blessing: Order Extension]

[Launch Zephyr Element]

As he chanted, his hand was gathering energy from its surroundings, creating some sort of sphere. Charging and charging while eventually getting bigger and bigger. He pointed his hand at the cave's entrance and finished his chant, " Sonic Boom.."

FWOHHH

The sphere projects itself from Nameless's hands. While launching to the cave's entrance, it transformed swiftly from a sphere to a shape resembling an arrow.

BAM!

It hits the cave's entrance.

The cave's rock formation crumbles and crucifies the goblins and their cargo. He dropped down and walked, checking if there were any survivors. As he walked, he heard the cries of a woman and a baby inside a yet-to-be-destroyed cargo. It appears the shipment was covering up a metal cage. Inside it, a baby and a woman are chained.

Nameless approached the two and asked, "Who were your master?" said Nameless to the woman in chains.

"My late master was Darkan..." said the woman.

"Then you know how it is," said Nameless while simultaneously unsheathing his blade.

His blade is a nodachi with a gold handguard.

"It's nothing personal." He continued.

The woman then pleaded, "Please.... take my child, let him survive. He hasn't been chained by slave spells yet. Please grant my wish-".

SLASH

The woman stopped her words. Blood drips from her throat. Nameless had rendered his blade onto her neck, making her unable to speak. "Bless your spirit," said Nameless.

"Huaaa... Where is he? He should be back by now." said Misa.

Nameless usually depart around 6 in the morning and returns around 3 in the afternoon. Misa having nothing to do usually stays in the bedroom doing nothing. However, she occasionally likes to go to Nameless's bedroom and search for his stuff out of curiosity. Misa typically gets caught by Nameless, but he seems rather indifferent towards her antics. After that, she usually welcomes Nameless. Today was one of those days. However, today Nameless was late. Making Misa bored and a little bit worried.

"Where is he? It's already this late?" utters Misa out loud.

CREEK

"Ah, Welcoomeee Home ❤! EHH!??" Misa suddenly screams in confusion.

She looked at Nameless, surprised because he was carrying a baby. "B--b--BABY!?" Misa speaks while also trembling in confusion. Nameless, however, still remains stoic and says, "Yes, a baby.".

(Wait, so he's already married? This doesn't make sense! Who would want to marry a guy like him? This stoic and indifferent bastard? I don't think that's even possible. He must have done something terrible!) thought Misa.

"Ehem... So Nameless, you're already married?" Asks Misa.

"No, I haven't got married," he replied.

(Whaattt!!!!????? He's Not MaRrIeD? Does that mean he hits off without marriage???)Thought Misa.

"I don't know, you're that type of guy.. hehe," Said Misa while grinning in fear.

(Oh Lord, please help me. I was Right! He was A RAPIST! pLEASE LET ME GO!!! 😭).

"This child's mom had an unfortunate death. I promised her to keep him safe, " Nameless said as he walked to lay the baby on his bed.

"Eh?" He then approaches Misa, still bearing a stoic face.

As he came closer, Misa's heartbeat began to skip faster.

(What should I do now? Is he going to do it with me? Or would he hit me and kill me off? 😖).

Nameless grabs Misa by the hand and lifts it a bit.

"Eh... What are you?" asks Misa. Nameless puts on a jewelled bracelet in her hand.

"As of today, You're free to go. Your body has recovered completely, and there's no more reason for you to be here," said Nameless.

"...."

Misa stares at him silently.

"I was wrong about you, Nameless," said Misa.

"When we first met, I thought you never cared for my well-being. I only thought you wanted to use me in some way. But these three weeks, you have nursed, fed, and cared for me as much as any other. I thought you were the purge king that destroyed the skeleton fort. I am really dumb, huh?" Said Misa while shedding a tear.

"You're not wrong," said Nameless.

"I am the one who desolates that skeleton fort and all the human slaves there." He continued.

"...."

Misa has fallen silent.

(He... Was he the one? The Purge King? The one who kills every living being in the Skeleton Fort?) Thought Misa.

"YOU PIECE OF SH- !" Misa screams and charges toward Nameless while barraging him with her fists.

"You Killed Everyone! You killed my Brother, My best friend, and My Sister! My Father! My Mother! WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT? WHY?" said Misa, simultaneously crying. "I WAS RIGHT. EVERYONE WAS RIGHT! You're Just A MONSTER !" She continued.

Nameless just stared at her, still having a stoic face.

He slowly pushed Misa away.

"The exit door to this house is hidden," Nameless said.

"Turn left when you exit. You will find it behind the bookshelves. Once you enter, you'll be teleported to the nearest human city left.".

He turned his back to her and said, "I hope you have a safe journey from now on.".

Misa stays silent and approaches the door of his room.

"One more thing.." blurted Nameless.

"To this day, I only did what was necessary. I don't expect you to understand my actions, so feel free to do what you will. It is what it is."
