We've been on the road for three days now.
I spent my time sleeping and training Mana. It's weird for me to be able to sleep and eat again after such a long time...
When I ate for the first time after regaining memories, all the food and tastes were new to me.it felt as if it was the first time I ate.
It makes sense when I consider that the amount of time I spent there outweighed the amount of time I spent in the real world, even when both of my lives were combined.
Most of the time, we traveled through smaller villages, so I had the opportunity to see how commoners live. I expected to see dirty streets and sick people due to poor hygiene, but the opposite was true. The streets were clean and the houses did not look like wooden huts but rather the terraced houses you see in modern England.
There were magical tools in our mansion that made life easier. including toilets, showers, and even kitchen equipment. I thought that these tools could only be afforded by nobles, but it looks like commoners can afford simplified versions of these tools
It was worse in the past, according to the knight, but a well-known inventor from the nearby kingdom of Toth changed that by inventing numerous magical items that changed people's lives. Toth began selling these instruments to other kingdoms, boosting their economy and status on the continent.
Many of his inventions remind me of things from the earth. Is it possible that he is same like me?
If I wanted, I could use my position as the son of a duke to get into the kingdom of Toth as host of royal family. Well, only after I solve all the problems, especiallythe one big thanks to which I'm slowly dying.
And then there's Laila, my current major issue.
When I was in that place, I had a lot of time to reflect on my life. And I came to a realization. My obsession with Laila is unnatural.
I didn't know it when I was playing the game, but the emotions I was experiencing were far too strong for a normal gaming character.
When I considered it at the time, I believed that it was most likely due to my mental state.
But the first thing that came to mind when I regained my memories was her face. and unusually intense emotions As if there was someone screaming in my head...
-Save her!
-Save her!
-Save her!
It wasn't the first time I'd heard a strange voice in my head, and I didn't have time to think about it because there was so much going on.
However, on this journey, I considered a variety of options.
It's possible that the creature that saved me from "that" place wanted to save Laila, so she sent me here.
There's also the possibility that I just went crazy and Im still in "that" place, which would make really sense.
Then there is only the possibility of someone sending me here as part of their plan, of which I am not yet aware.
I was interrupted by the voice of the knight who accompanied me.
"Young master, we have arrived in front of the city of Botis." "How would you like to proceed?" says the Darret . "Should we go to the city lord's mansion or straight to the white forest?"
Darret is the commander of the knights who accompanied me and the best knight in our Dukedom.
He's a tall, slender man with a youthful face and short black spiky hair and black eyes, standing roughly 185cm tall. Even some men will turn around when he passes behind them because of how handsome he is.
Sylvie's face becomes crimson every time he shows up.
So this is your type huh?
He is just 23 yeard old butt he already reached level of Swordmaster.
Not much was known about him except for his immense level of loyalty to the Duke and his family.
During this trip, I often talked to him and tried to get closer to him.
He is already genius if I gave him few items and one of legendary swords he could become good pawn.
Father also told him the true purpose of the trip.
"The two of us will go to the White Forest while the other knights and Sylvie will go to the city lord's mansion."
"Are you sure?"We don't know what can happen in the forest," said Darret.
Pov. Third-Person
Orion brightly smiled at Darret and asked him
"Sir Darret, do you think that you will lose against any monsters in that forest?"
Darret unconsciously backed away from his future master, Orion, when he looked into his eyes. Even if it appeared to others that he was simply smiling innocently. His eyes did not appear to be those of a 15-year-old child. In his deep purple eyes, he felt a coldness. It was the same look his master, Duke, gave him when he first met him and was determining his worth.
At that moment, Derret thought.
'Even though he looks like a person who is going to die at any moment.'
'He is still an Astrape.'
'Even a young beast is still a beast.'
"No, young master... mere monsters of the white forest can not defeat the knight of the Astrape family!" Darret said enthusiastically
"Will you be really okay young master?" silvie asked with a worried voice.
"Don't worry, we'll simply take a walk through the woods and be back shortly," says Orion
Orion stepped out of the carriege and changed into brown leather pants, an ordinary white T-shirt and black cloak that was up to his knees. He wore a gold ring with a black gem in the center on his middle finger.
Orion sat down with a Derret on one horse.
Because his body was weak, he couldn't ride the horse alone.
"Young master, be careful so you won't fall."said derret
"You all really love to forget that I'm technically an adult now."said Orion.
Because of his illness, people talk to him like a little kid, which Orion really hates.
In this world, you are considered an adult after you are 15 years old.
If Orion counted his past life. He would be older than Derret.
And if he counted time he spent in abyss...
Normally, Orion as his peers should be engaged and attend various meetings for young aristocrats. But Orion didn't have a chance to live out his youth like everyone else, because he could have had a seizure at any time, or at worst he could die if he wasn't constantly monitored.
'But that will end today'
"I can feel his presence, its somewhere in the middle of forest"
'Of course there is no such a thing as mysterious bird or other bullshit in this forest. In the middle of the white forest is Dungeon that will clear most of my problems.'
"Then hold on tight young master"
'First step in destroying story is right here!'
Is what he thought but he still didn´t know that he will regret this decision his whole life.
