Coming to the dining table I saw delicious food prepared on the table.
I just started eating as soon as we settled on chairs.
"eat slowly Neil"
Cara Arcanum Nail's mother reminded me to eat slowly, worried that I might chok on food.
However, I was really hungry since I woke up in this world.
"Gulp Gulp Gulp"
I felt satisfied and full after eating food which would be enough for 2 people.
"master here the potion that you requested"
"thanks Sam"
Suddenly butler who appeared in my room handed vial with golden liquid in it to my father.
"here Neil drink this, it will help strengthen your body"
"but what's this dad"
"it is high grade Vitality Portion which heals any injury "
Taking over the vial, I drank the portion and it tasted sweet and cold but soon I felt hot sensation washing over the whole body.
I felt sudden surge of energy coursing through my body.
When I woke up, I was feeling very weak but now I felt very energized.
"how do you fee Neil"
"it is very good dad, I feel very refreshed as if there was no weakness in morning"
"good then, I have also called physician to check up on you"
"you have been in coma for a year so it is better to get check up, we do not wish to take any risk"
"can you tell me what exactly happened to me before I fell into coma"
"Last year you went to Royal palace to attend birthday celebration of first princess Aurielle"
"There was no issue at first when you returned but next day you did not wake till evening"
"We even called imperial doctor Sylas Maren to treat you but he said that your disease was unknown and it was difficult to cure it as there was never such case"
"He simply instructed us to take care of you and inform him if there were any changes in your condition"
"At first we thought that you would recover in short time but six months passed and you did not wake up"
"Sir Sylas again came to check you but there were no positive result, instead you were growing weak"
"Almost year passed and we lost all hope that you will ever wake up"
Gabriel Arcanum father of original Neil told me while looking at me seriously.
"I want to rest so I will go back to room"
"Wait sweetheart I will come with you"
"Don't worry mom I feel better now"
"Okay sweetheart but let me know if you do not feel better or need anything"
I got up and was about to leave when suddenly Eirlys grabbed my hand. When I looked towards her, she seemed a bit nervous.
"Yes Eirlys"
"Br...Brother will you again fall asleep for long time"
"No Eirlys I will not"
"Okay brother I have lots of toys to share with you and we can also play together"
"sure we can play as much as you want"
I said while stroking her head.
____________________________________________________________________________________________
I returned to my room and felt very exhausted due to all these sudden development.
I wanted some time alone to think about all things.
It was strange that I transmigrated to this game which I played few years back. Also I wanted to know who sent me here and what was their purpose because similar to me there were many players who played this game but why he specifically chose me.
Also despite the given quest not being linked to main story, It would be still very hard to complete the quest as despite me being duke's son, it is very difficult to meet and stay with Royalty for long time. I cannot keep her by my side as well.
If I want to save her then I would need lot of information to figure out current scenario of kingdom. I did not know when she will be killed or who will kill her.
There are six duke house who has long history with current royal family.
Additionally, I need to raise my states as soon as possible so I can defend myself and my family because even though Eirlys was heroin, her parents did not survive till the end in game.
Therefore, I needed to get stronger fast and figure out how to complete first quest.
First of all I want to check system shop.
System Shop
Vitality Portion {Grade 1} - 2000 Points
Celestial Ripple {Unknown} - 5000 Points
Scroll of Lightning Bomb {Grade 1} - 10000 Points
I knew about vitality potion but I did not need that as I already consumed higher grade potion which father gave me.
I also cannot choose Lightning Bomb as I need mana to use magic. I need to ask father to teach me about how to wield magic as soon as possible. I am excited about using those cool magic spells which I used in game.
Finally, there is Celestial Ripple which is lowest grade breathing technique, It can help me cultivate spiritual energy just like those cultivators in Xianxia novels.
However, players mostly avoided cultivators route as it requires lots of patience and resources to get stronger. Sadly I do no have any choice at the moment and use Celestial Ripple to strengthen my body.
Still there is one plus point which is that cultivation techniques greatly strengthen person's soul energy.
"let's start then"
Sitting in lotus position, I began meditating and quickly everything around me turned silent as if I was the only one present.
