How many times I practiced, I was truly surprised by the power I had. If people see me will think that I have no magic, divine, or spiritual power. But spiritual power you can get if you practice martial arts hard. But the power I got is fascinating. I couldn't help but be bewildered. How can someone be like this?
Mother, how could you not find this mystery for the whole time you were with me? But don't worry I will work hard and know more about this power. It is fun if you open the mystery step by step. If you open all along then it's no fun. I will also do that. It is my power so I will find this mystery and open step by step. No hurry.
However, I practiced and practiced. I didn't even care about time. But this magic room is better than I thought. I don't know if this room's time and real-time are the same but one thing is clear I will be strong in no time.
Two years later.
I finished reading all the books that were here. The magic books, spiritual books, divine power, and swords and spear techniques. Mother also wouldn't thought that I would take the path of sword and spear. What can I do? I love these two weapons more than I thought. So I couldn't shake off my excitement to see both of them. There was also a magic stick for the magician but it didn't suit me.
It's not an assumption. I tried to use that magic stick. But I truly don't have any talent in magic stick weapons that magicians use. What can I do, when I don't have any talent for that weapon? So I didn't waste my time on that.
I celebrated my fourteenth birthday in this magic room. Then like as usual I practiced and practiced. It looks like I practiced here for a decade but it was only two years. But it's a good thing that I become strong now. The magic door didn't open. I think I didn't become strong like my mother.
Also, if my mother knew that uncle was the one who tried to kill her then what was that letter? Why would mother tell me to go to my uncle's house? I think that man altered the letter. How could the mother tell me to go to him?
Another three months passed. I can feel I become stronger than before. After practicing the sword and spear technique. I am just happy. There were so many books and I completed reading all the books in these two years and three months. But who wants to live like a captive person?
While thinking about everything, I fell asleep. But when I woke up, I was surprised to see my around. The beautiful magic room vanished from this world. Besides me was only a letter, a dress, and a little knife. I think it was the only thing that my mother kept for me. Also, I think this little knife was the core of this room.
But it's okay. I think the magic room vanished because I became strong like my mother. So I am free from this room. Now I can roam this world how I wish.
Then I came out of the cave and saw the things I kept there like that. No one didn't find this cave in these two years. But it is also good. I can live peacefully.
Seeing the waterfall in front of me, I got thirsty. Then I drank the water from the waterfall and bathed. While bathing, I saw I had become bigger than the last time. My beauty is also increased. I didn't think I would be this beautiful. After bathing, I changed my clothes. The dress was also a magic dress. Putting in my body it got fixed like my body. Wow, the dress is also comforting. I didn't take anything from this cave other than the letter and the knife that was for me.
I got everything that I needed. The heirloom is on my neck, the knife in my waist, and the letter in my little pocket that was in my dress. I don't think I need anything other than some herbs that will help me cook good food. My destination is the Luminous Academy.
But I don't know where the academy is. I have to ask people about that. So I will also take more herbs than usual. I will sell them and get some gold coins. In this world's currency is Carat. This Carat has three forms. Those are bronze, silver, and gold coins. A thousand bronze coins equal one silver coin. A thousand silver coin is one gold coin. There are also more things than gold. But they are rare things like emeralds, rubies, and diamonds.
I learned them from the books I read in the magic room. I think the herbs will grow more in these two years. I departed from the cave that was my home for two years and three months. It is refreshing. This scent of fresh forest, sun, and mud. I missed it so much.
While walking, I got many herbs that I needed. I walked for half a day in this forest. So I would get some rewards. I got some fruit and ate. I got some strength and then I departed towards the city.
In the evening I came out from the forest where I lived for more than two years. It was sad to leave this peaceful place. But there is nothing I can do. I have more things to do now. When I took the first step into the city, I was surprised.
It was only a rural village. I thought it would be a city. That's why there were no guards or city walls. Some people are living in this village.
"Who will I ask where is the city?"
I muttered while walking with worry. Suddenly I bumped into a kid. He looked like a ten-year-old boy. So I looked around and saw some other people were chasing him. So he was being chased.
"Please... save me."
The child said in a trembling and tired voice. He was afraid of them. I think this child was running without stopping anywhere from them to survive.
"Okay, I will save them. So can you tell who are those people and where are you from?"
I asked while assuring him. So that his fear can go away and he can tell me everything.
The boy looked at me while crying.
I also have to be cautious. Because there is more than you think. In this ancient world is more complicated than you think. So you can't believe a little boy that you met for the first time. It's not that I won't help him if he is the victim. So I have to observe him first. If he is truly innocent then I will gladly help him. It is good if you are careful.
As I observed him, he didn't look like a bad person. So let's wait till his fear goes away a little. The people who are chasing him are also coming towards me. Seeing them, the boy was trembling like a rabbit, who was in front of a big strong tyrant tiger.
"Hey, I found the boy."
Some said cheerfully while sneering.
Seeing the boy all of them came in front of me while talking with me.
"Hey, young man, give us the boy."
They were ordering me like I was their slave. I didn't feel good but I can't do anything now. I have to observe more. When they talked to me like that, I looked at the boy. The boy was shivering more than before. He was looking at me like a afraid rabbit while crying and shaking his head.
"You are saying, I won't give you to them."
I whispered to him while looking at them.
The little boy was looking at me hearing me and nodded hurriedly.
I understand. So this boy is innocent. Then I can help him.
Someone looked at me head to toe. I didn't have a good feeling. They are thinking and plotting something against me and this little boy.
It is also good. I think now I can do some self-defense while clearing the bad people.
"Boss, look at that young man. Don't you think if we sell both of them then we will get some huge amount?"
Another person said maliciously like a pervert while looking at me.
"Hmm, this person is also a beauty. I think Noble will be happy to have him. Go and capture both of them."
A person whose belly was fat but was not tall or short and had a tanned body said while observing me head to toe.
I am angry. Truly angry while hearing them. I want to kill them but I won't because I have to know who are they.
"Who... are you?"
I asked while trembling. My voice is also shivering while asking them.
I showed them my fear first. So that they can lower their guard and I can attack them.
Hearing my tone all of them were stunned like they saw something strange. But suddenly their face becomes weird like hungry dogs. I think their saliva will roll from their mouths in a moment. I was disgusted to see their face. It felt like my body was urging me to vomit. But I have to wait a little. If they don't attack me first then I can't attack them. Just a little patience. I have to be a little patient.
"His voice is also so sweet."
Everyone said the same thing. It was a creepy feeling. I want to kill them truly. My patience has also some limits. In my past life, someone was trying to touch me and I crippled him forever. He couldn't wake up from his wheelchair. I think I will have to do this to them. How dare they drool like dogs. I have to cut their tongue. I thought angrily while thinking what will I do?
I looked at them. They were planning something while going a little far from there. I held that little boy's hand and started to walk. I can't stand there for a moment. I walked past them but they didn't notice yet.
Suddenly someone shouted when I walked ten steps ahead of them.
"Boss, they are going from here."
"Go and catch them."
Their boss ordered them.
"Roger that."
Saying them, they came towards us running. The boy held my clothes tightly while shivering. I assured him while patting his head. His shivering stopped like he understood the meaning of my patting.
Yes, I was waiting for this moment. Now I can beat them as I wish. Someone came faster than the others and tried to touch me. I kicked him out in front of me. He flew to them. Everyone was surprised to see that while they fell on the ground.
Ah, it was satisfying. I didn't know I would feel good when I kicked him just once. But it is not enough. If I suppressed my anger at this moment then why did I practice like mad for two years to become stronger? I won't endure their bad intentions towards me.
"How dare you kick me? I will kill you."
The person shouted whom I kicked angrily. I can see his face and how angry he is. I felt good. But his face is truly ugly. I don't want to see this person again in my life. How can someone be this ugly? I know all people won't be beautiful or handsome to see. But this person is really ugly like a toad.
I want to end this situation early. So that I won't have to see their ugly face for a longer time.
