"Darn it, why ask something so damn obvious, of course it's me."
Nothing bad had happened so far so Ryder did not see the need to panic just yet. Besides this world's Ryder seemed to have his life all set. He was not just handsome he was actually gorgeous, he was rich and was probably even royalty. Though the only strange things he had witnessed so far was getting attacked by that ripped guy in school and not having the memories of the previous owner.
Just then something hit him. "What..!? I see..."
In the book he had just tossed aside, there was mention of magic in it's contents. Apparently magic was very common in the world of Mageia. According to the book 70% of the planet's population acquired magical abilities while the other 30% did not.
"So that's what the glowing fists were all about", Ryder said in realization.
Picking the book up, he began to read the book to learn as much as possible. After a few hours he had completely gone through the contents of the book. This made Ryder laugh a bit as the book sized up to the entirety of his forearm.
This book was useful to a large extent as it told him a lot of things about this world, however it did not contain everything he needed. According to this book, magic had come to Mageia as a result of a spatial rift. The spatial rift occurred as a result of a large magic symbol engulfing the whole planet. This gave reason to believe that magic existed before it even happened. Multiple disasters and causalities where recorded at this moment but eventually everything returned to back to normal. Though before it did many different changes had already taken place on the planet.
New creatures had appeared, new elements were discovered and the planet had increased in size as well. Other major changes included the existence of magic in the world and creation of different races.
"This looks like something from a comic book series! Am I in some sort of comic book!?"
Some of the things Ryder saw in this book, he was already aware of them in Earth. Though some of them he couldn't quite recognize as they were never mentioned on Earth.
'It seems there are somethings I am unaware of as well.'
His original reason for going through this book was to find out why he was transmigrated into this body, in this world. Due to pure bad luck there was nothing about transmigration in this book, heck he wouldn't be surprised if they used it to make story books for children.
Looking at the bright side of things, he was grateful that he wasn't as ignorant as he was before. This book brought to light many things concerning his situation. It was quite possible that a spatial rift was responsible for bringing him to the world he was currently in.
Based on everything he had read so far, he believed it was safe to say that these new creatures, races and elements were brought from a different dimension entirely. Though the question now was why would he be drawn to this world by a spatial rift now, especially when it occurred a thousand years ago.
"Strange", Ryder scratched his extremely smooth hair with his hand. "Wow, he's hair is incredibly soft."
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Three soft knocks sounded from his door. After a few seconds the door opened revealing Brenna who was currently in a stunning red robe. Ryder couldn't help but have a flood of curiosity wash through his body.
"I had a feeling that you were still awake", she said with a soft smile.
Ryder was surprised that she would expect something like this. The only explanation he had for this was that the previous Ryder probably stayed up late at night.
"I wanted to thank you for today", Brenna turned her face to the side as if being shy.
Not wanting to speak, Ryder indicated his surprise by widening his eyes a bit. He believed it would be of no harm to show his intrigue concerning what she had to say. Upon noticing his slight change in expression, she steadily walked towards him as she explained why.
"Oh, it should be really obvious why you know. This was the first time you ever spoke to me. I....I....really appreciate it."
'What!? This douchebag never spoke to her his entire life? What's wrong with him?' Ryder pondered within himself.
By the time he had finished thinking about this, she was right in front of him. Her rose like scent rushed over him, engulfing him with it's sheer enticing power. Her red colored lips were only a few inches away from him at this point causing him to wonder what the hell was going on. Ryder gulped in panic as he realized the situation he was in.
'Damn it! Is it an ambush!?'
"I believe it is time we share the bed like we always do, Master Ryder."
'It is an ambush!'
Brenna slowly began to remove her robe right in front of Ryder, however before she could complete her actions, he stopped her in her tracks. From what she had said not to long ago, this was something she usually did with the Ryder of this world. Though for some strange reason he believed this was out of obligation not because she wanted to.
"Master, is anything wrong? Do you not want me anymore?", Brenna asked in a adorable voice that shook him to the core.
"No, that isn't it. I don't want you to have some kind of obligation to do this. I want you to actually want me", Ryder explained as he gradually recovered from the assault.
Brenna gave a bewildered expression before fixing her robe and stepping back. The look on her face indicated that what he said might actually be true. Ryder believed he was just lucky that his brains won this battle instead of his balls.
"Master", Brenna spoke before leaving his room looking all red.
'I hope she doesn't feel bad about what I did.'
After all that just happened, Ryder felt like he was tried enough to sleep now. Jumping on his bed, his eyes shut close. Within a few seconds he drifted off.
Ryder was woken up slightly by the sounds of birds from outside the castle. The windows to his room eventually opened causing the rays of the sun to invade his face. Upon opening his eyes, he noticed a maid by the side of the open window. The maid quickly bent over, hoping that she had not annoyed Ryder in anyway.
'She is afraid of me? But why?'
In response, he rose his hand and gave a slight smile. The maid looked shocked though to see this reaction from him.
'Did the Ryder of this world react badly in these kind of situations', he wondered to himself.
So far the impression this guy was giving him was a bad one. Ryder noticed that Brenna had not come to his room this morning. This was strange because she seemed like the type to do something like that. Now he had no choice but to believe he hurt her. Turning to the side of the bed, he noticed his school uniform laying on a chair.
'What!? I am late for school!'
Ryder jumped off the bed, bathed and wore the fancy looking uniform. His maids wished to perform these tasks for him but he wasn't having any of that. He believed that these ladies were not prepared to see what was hiding under his clothes. With his hair still wet, he dashed out of the house heading for school.
"Where exactly are you going to looking like that?"
Ryder turned around upon hearing Brenna's voice. She was wearing the same uniform he had on. The answer to the question was really an obvious one so she proceeded to speak more on the matter.
"If you want to go to school so bad I insist you at least use the chariot, Master Ryder."
Just then it hit him, he had no idea where the school was in the first place so he couldn't really refuse. He nodded afterwards heading in the direction of his ride.
"Why do you want to go so bad anyways? Today we having magic related classes and you never go for them. You are already an expert when it comes to magic, nothing else is left for you to learn", Brenna said.
'I am an expert at magic casting!? I can use magic!?'
Since Ryder came to this world he never really looked at the possibility that he could use magic. Now that he was aware of his exceptional skill in casting, that became more of reason for him to go.
Brenna noticing the glint of excitement in Ryder's eyes said nothing more on the topic. The two climbed into the chariot afterwards, having a quiet ride to the school.
The snorting sounds of the horses was heard after some minutes indicating that they had reached their destination. Ryder came out of the carriage, following closely behind Brenna. It was one thing to get to the school, however it was a totally different thing to find where his classes were being held.
As he passed through the school gates, Ryder's attention was drawn to the name of the school. It was clearly a name he had never seen in his life.
'Driffucho Esor academy, huh. What a weird name.'
Walking through the school halls, Ryder could feel the intense gaze of many people in the academy. He couldn't really understand the reason why, though he believed it had something to do with his wet hair.
'Great! Embarrassing myself on the first day of school, really smooth', Ryder felt like punching himself.
His attention eventually shifted to Brenna who by his side. She seemed to be unfazed by the attention that he drew to them. Though at a closer glimpse, he wasn't really sure if he was the one dragging all this attention. Brenna eventually came to a stop at the door of a particular room next to them. Looking into the room, he noticed it was arranged similar to that of a lecture room in Earth colleges.
"This is your classroom, Master Ryder", Brenna stared at him with a confused expression.
Not to seem weird he went straight into the classroom with Brenna right behind him. The once noisy classroom became dead silent when he walked into the room. Multiple eyes fell on him as he walked to an empty sit behind. The sheer pressure from this stares made him feel like he would explode any moment. Luckily for him, he was saved by the male teacher who entered the class. The students returned back to their sits partially forgetting about the two who had just walked into the class.
"Good morning students, hope you are prepared for.....", The teacher paused looking as if he had seen a ghost. "Master Ryder, to what do I owe this pleasure."
'Master!?', Ryder thought to himself. 'Seriously am I a king or something!?'
Ryder felt like he needed to answer this question so that he wouldn't seem disrespectful, however his comments not too long ago confused the crap out of him. Brenna already expecting him not to answer spoke out while still sitting on her chair.
"No need to be alarmed, Mr. Dime. Master Ryder just felt like attending your class today. Please continue as you have planned."
"I understand, my lady."
'What the heck just happened!?', Ryder questioned himself.
The teacher turned around teaching the students as if nothing had happened. Ryder could easily tell he was still tense as his body language was a huge give away. Was this man really afraid of him? But why? These were the type of questions that ran through his head as the class commenced. It was quite obvious that he knew nothing about this planet's Ryder.
This gave birth to his most pressing question of all, who exactly was Ryder? Was he a scumbag villian or a hero of some sort? All in all one thing was very clear, the knowledge he had acquired from his days of reading too much manga was going to come in handy.
