The night's cold breeze blow from afar, set a scanty curtain of leafs high at the dark-blue sky above the quiet Town to the mansion in the center.
Right at the top of the sky, the full moon luminating the night world.
I take a glance at the starry night.
"Beautiful..."
In this world without the existence of electricity, the night is the absolute time for sleep.
Except of the big city like the capital with more advanced and richer magical resources, every city and town, and of course, including village, would fall to quiet time right after the night come.
It's forced me to even more aware that this world is not Earth.
Rather, this world is a world that of or similar to the Novel [Lilac's Purity].
"But... System, huh?"
[Name: Arcide Lilac.]
[Level: 36]
[Remaining Stats Poin: 0]
[Strength: 5]
[Endurance: 6]
[Will: 59]
[Magic: 67(Sealed/-99%)—>0.62]
[Magilac]:
[Oxiox(sealed)]
[Active Effect: Doubled Chant-speed(Sealed)—Cooldown: 30 minutes—Duration: 1 hour.]
[Passive Effect: After used a Magic, the next Magic chanting speed will be multipled(Sealed)—Every the Third Magic used's damage, effectivity, and area +150%(sealed).]
Now my transmigration is fully completed with this cliche-System.
[Note: Denied. This System is not cliche. Please take back your statement, Host.]
"What a beautiful night~..."
[Note: This System cannot accept your twisted statement, Host.]
[Note: Host...]
Ignoring the keep buzzing System, I enjoy the relaxing peace and breeze of night.
Lilac Family.
This count noble family, while not having a real influence and power as a noble if compared to Marquis or Duke, have a long history that extent even more than 500 years as one of several noble family that pioneering this empire along with the first Emperor and granted a title: [The Guardian of Northern] because of their huge contribution to prevent any invasion attempt from another empire at the other side of Dart Mountain Range—the Yang Empire.
Indeed, the Empire and the Yang Empire's situation now seems peaceful and having good and mutualism relationship.
But that is just in the surface and formal public.
When it come to the shadow of these countries, life-ending threat and schemes is normas.
Lilac Family's intelegences and talents is crucial to prevent any hidden attack from the Yang Empire.
The only reason why Lilac Family still at Count level is because the ancestor of Lilac Family's never wish their descendants to involved within the power struggle of Imperial family in any way possible.
But... Even these ancestor's will would be tarnished in 5 years.
After all, ancestors or anything, it will be no use when the family itself vanished.
"Yang Empire, huh..."
I furrow my brow when I looked at the mountain range afar.
In 5 years, Yang Empire would start a war with The Empire.
The Lilac County, as powerful as they was, is never could be compared to a full army determined to war.
Lilac County would become the first victim of the Yang Empire's greed.
I still vividly can remember how Father and Mother died in these soldier's arm while buying time to make sure me and Lana managed to escaped safely with most of the Lilac County's resident in the novel.
Even before the incident at the Academy, I already have a Death Flag... Well, not entirely Death Flag since I will managed to escape, but...
I touch my head and recalling how Father patted my head.
"... I can't leave they died as the original story goes."
—Arcide is not entirely lost his talent.
I recall what Risa said about Arcide.
—His talent is sealed because of Medusa's curse. He can release the seal if he killed the Medusa or somehow managed to convinced the Medusa to release the curse she put at him. Or... That's right, he also could remove this curse if he can find the Legendary Elixir.
In other words, I am not entirely left no hope.
Also...
I once asked Risa what if Arcide train with sword or spear or any form of martial arts, and surprisedly, what Risa answer is...
—Martial arts? Hmm... I think Arcide would became a Swordmaster if he put his life-length effort to train with sword mastery. He also have talent with other weapons, of course, but if compared to his sword talent, that's not significant at all.
—O-oh, senior, by the way, Swordmaster in my novel is a legend figure that can be compared to an Archmage, the top level of any mage can reach.
That's right. Arcide is a character full of talents.
I don't know why Risa makes that op character to became a mere killed character at the prologue, but... Hmm, I guess if he not have that much of talent, Rilana wouldn't grown so attached to him that much.
Change my attention back to the moon above from the Dart Mountain Range afar, I realized that I need to set some plans and goals to survive the incoming dangers.
"... Alright, let's do it."
Risa... Sorry. I terribly sorry for everything. And thank you, for all that explanation.
I don't know why and how I transmigrated as Arcide Lilac.
However, since it is my self now, I won't just simply wait the fated doom to knock my door and gave me a big surprise.
Risa...
... I don't know if you see me or not, but I would survive in this world of yours from now on.
"I will change the very beginning of this story. In other words, I would ruin your story..."
I am sorry. So sorry.
"But I have to."
After all, I don't want to die.
I turn back and walk inside my room from balcony.
Risa... Lastly, I am so sorry.
Take a glance at the moon above for the last time, I closed the balcony doors.
I stepped near the table and take a bunch of paper from the drawer.
Smile simultaneously take a shape at my face.
I spin the pen among my fingers, take a thought for a moment, before start to write.
"Oh, how interesting~ survive, hum~?"
A smiling figure of woman with long black hair can be seen at a dimly lit room.
Her eyes seems to glancing at an almost-empty book.
But her eyes looked so distant.
As if what's she looked is not the keep automatically written words at the book but something more far away.
"****, your decision is indeed logic, but..."
Her eyes narrowed at the shape of crescent moon.
With a blushing face, as if she find something so amusing about the book, she opening her lips.
"... Do you really think I would do nothing while you ruining the story?
Don't worry~ I won't harm you, not directly~...
That's right, maybe added more variable would make things even more interesting...
You think so too right, ****?"
