《Re: Dystopia (Completed)》Chapter 3. City.

Iroks. These things are vicious. Once they see you they will chase you for atleast five kilometers! I had the joy of meeting one and I must say... I do not want to meet one again! It was much uglier than an orc! It smelled even worse! It's wings were a beauty to see though. But it's body... Ugh... It gives me the shivers. The Iroks are just small little winged goblins with scales basically. But they are ugly... Ugly I tell you. For whoever gets this diary of mine... Do not go into the Forest of Iroks! Even if it is an S-class quest for the Adventurer Guild! It is not worth it! I doubt even S-classes want to meet such a persistant and vicious monster! Especially if they are in a pack which they usually are!
- Diary of an adventurer, Part 3, Page 5.
--------
I am currently being held by a mysterious man. I know he is a man because I saw his face when we went by a weird dim light in the forest. I have no idea what that light was... But this man is more mysterious. I have a feeling he shouldn't be in this world... A weird feeling indeed...
Mysterious Man: "Ahh... I just wanted to see what the commotion is about... Now I have to run all the way back to the city to give him to the guards to take care of... I really don't want to do this..."
We run out of the forest into sunlight... His face... It's weird... There is a hood but I can see underneath it for some reason... He has... A purple pupil... With a golden cross in the middle of it. I cannot tell his skin color but I can clearly tell that his hair is silver... It's too different from the others and even when light shines on it, it's color does not change... Silver. It must be a silver-ish color... His right eyes pupil is far more weirder... It's like a ruby with a black slit right in the middle of it in the shape of an eye... The eye itself is normal except the pupils... Who is this man...?
I keep asking myself that question while looking at him to remember this person. He is too weird to be a real human... His existence screams "Not from this World" and "Powerful" and "Creation what was never supposed to be made"... Why are my instincts telling me this? I do not know why... They just are. He wears some kind of weird thin coat. It's white and has a small pouch. (Author:Reffering to a lab coat but MC does not know the existence of a lab coat.) Weird... I have never seen such clothing in my life...
Before I notice it we enter a city. The man tilts his head down to conceal his face but I can see him more clearly now. He then notices me inspecting his facial features and body.
Mysterious Man: "Hmm? You are observing me to preserve me in your memory?"
How did he know what I was trying to do!?
Mysterious Man: "Just so you know... I am Artimael Greysoul. You do not need to know anything else as of yet, child. I'll leave you here. I might come back to you one day."
He puts me down infront of a building what has a crest with a shield and two swords above its door. Artimael leaves soon after he put me down. I'm still naked damn it! And you put me on a stone path! It's cold! Somebody leave that building and come pick me up damn it! Aaand my wish came true! A woman exits the building and screams when she sees me. Not the best introduction is it? Hahah... Pick me up damn it. It's cold.

Woman: "Master!!! There is a baby on the path right infront of the guild!"
I hear somebody getting up.
???: "What!? What nonsense are you speaking kid! There is no way a person abandons a child infront of the door of our City's Guard Training Area!"
It's a man. His voice is like a bears scream.
Woman: "But it's true, master!"
I hear something walking towards here. It is a bear isn't it? It's a literal bear who has the capability to speak right? I know this world already has wolfhumans so why shouldn't there be bears in the shape of humans? Aaand it's a human. A gigantic human with big muscles.
Manbear: "You were not kidding! It is a baby! Who would leave it infront of a training facility?!"
I look at the manbear and try to laugh. I start crying instead. Why do I start crying when I try to laugh! Body, sort yourself out!
Woman: "You scared the baby, master!"
Manbear: "It can't be my fault!"
Woman: "It is!"
I try to wave my hand to show them that i'm cold. Aaand I wave my hands around like a maniac. Sort yourself out body! Ah atleast the woman picked me up! Stop crying me, stop crying. Thank god... I stopped crying.
Woman: "See? What gender is this little baby? Master... Can you please bring the crystal?"
Manbear: "Yeah yeah fine. I am quite intrigued about this baby too. Nobody sane in their mind would leave a baby right infront of my training facilities door."
I try to put my hand into a fist and raise it towards the air as a signal of... Damn you Artimael! You left me infront of hells door didn't you!? They take me into the training facility. Ah.. Swords. Something I am familiar with. My... Owner... In the past life ordered me to constantly fight for him. I am quite good with swords in my opinion. I look around with interest.
Woman: "This baby... It actually has an interest in swords!"
Manbear: "Well then... Maybe the person wasn't insane and tried to get rid of a troublesome kid? People who use swords are in the minority after all."
The manbear brings out a crystal.
Manbear: "Use Item."

Their jaws fall down when they read my stats.
Woman: "What the hell is up with this kid! This kid is basically trouble reincarnated!"
Manbear: "Wha... God of war!? The god of war blessed this kid!? Heav also blessed him!? What the hell?! Mithneel Evergreen... I've never heard of any Evergreen! I'm certain I would've heard about an Evergreen if they had such a child! The priest knows about every child born so why hasn't a big announcement been made!?"
Woman: "Maybe this kid... Isn't from the city. I've been here for a while and I haven't heard of any family in this city block being Evergreen. The closest to it is Greenwood."
Manbear: "Should we tell the priest?"
Woman: "We should but they would make him into some kind of bishop. That would be restricting him. Let's not tell anybody about this kid. I want to train him in sword fighting." *Ting*

I fall asleep and wake up the next day. For some reason I don't get hungry... I've been here for 3 days but I am still not hungry. Must have something to do with my races or blessings. I thought I was going to be hungry at all times because of Ulkris blessing... Guess it works the other way. Hahah!
I study the place I am in every day and study everybody who comes in here every day for six years. My "Attributes" have gotten way higher now thanks to my growth.

These are my stats now. I have gotten familiar to using this weird blue paper. I spoke my first words when I was just half a year old! I also walked when I was only one year old. Is that normal or not? I do not know. My charisma/leadership went up that much because the Manbear named Ulric ordered me to learn about leadership. I don't talk to others as much. Nobody pays much attention to me and Ulric and the woman named Tyr want to keep me a secret for now. I still haven't actually eaten in this life. Ulric and Tyr were worried for me at the beginning but when I didn't eat for two years straight they just gave up. I don't get hungry and I never feel thirst for some reason. I want to eat something but I don't feel hungry ever. I guess I could try eating? I also trained in secret in the backrooms. That is why my strength is so high and my agility and my intellect when up because my constant reading of different books.
This world is weird. People call it 'Dystopia'. It is a really big world it seems. There are atleast fifteen continents recorded and some have said that there are more. There are a lot of different races aswell! A lot of different religions, countries and such. And I mean... A lot. There are also things called "Dungeons" which hold powerful mobs but also reward people highly. The more known dungeons have been cleared and they have dissapeared but rumours have spread that the dungeons are hiding themselves. Dungeons are actually a living race themselves. Their mind is their Crystal Core and their body is the Dungeon itself. The monsters inside it are like its blood in its veins. Weird beings indeed. There are too many things I still don't know. There are five main races though.
Mithneel: "Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Demons and Undyrr."
I mumble to myself the five races. The first four are like anybody can remember them. Undyrr... They are a different story. They live waaay up in the north in the Mountain Region of the world. They are basically frost giants but have dark burn marks on their faces since birth. I don't know why but it's described in the books.
There is one non-main race you have to look out for. Iroks. Iroks are a fierce race of half-goblin half-dragons. I don't know how that looks like but they seem to be fierce. It is said that one of them can take on two battle-experienced guards and defeat them with no trouble. I do not want to run into a band of them right now... They are described to be one of the ugliest things you can think of. Their only redeeming quality in their appearance are their wings. Their wings look like a real dragons. They cannot use the wings though.
Nobody knows when Dystopia came to existence but the oldest records tell of a huge Empire named "Kandyrr" who ruled over fifteen percent of the known continents. Nobody knows how they dissapeared and why. They just fell apart and dissapeared. The country I am in is called Orinki...
There are no problems with my life right now except one small detail. I went out to the marketplace with Ulric one day and one of the Aristocrats daughters took interest in me. Right now a lot of guards are looking for me.
I have quite... Distinct... Features. I have half-blond half-emerald green hair. I also have silver eyes... You can only tell the location of my pupils because of the black rings surrounding my pupils. Tyr tells me I didn't have this type of features when they first picked me up and they started appearing five months later after they met me... This is the work of the Blessings isn't it?
Ulric also placed a challenge for me. I'll repeat his exact words.
'When you are six years old you must defeat one of the eighteen year old students in our facility in sword fighting what includes magic. If you cannot do that then It is no matter. If you can, I will let you wander around the streets and start training you in our sword fighting style.'
I trained for that exact purpouse for three years in a row...
Well that is all what happened. I am still hiding from that aristocrats daughter though. She is persistant... I constantly hear guards running infront of our living place searching for a kid with my features. If they decide to look in here fully it is going to be very troublesome for me.
I also looked at the Second Class thing. Still haven't decided on it yet...
*smash* Oh god... The door opened and I am in plain sight right now... And there are the guards... Bad timing guards! I am still reading my book and thinking about things!
Guards: "There the kid is! Fyra wanted to see this kid again! Grab him!"
Mithneel: "Leave. Me. Alone!"
I use some wind magic to throw them out of the room. I learned sword fighting and wind magic. I sealed my powers so it isn't as strong as it would be unsealed. I wonder how strong I would be with unsealed magic... But remembering the incident of that village... Won't be fun... Luckily Ulric and Tyr haven't looked into my titles because they haven't expected me to have one. I just need to think of a way to explain to them about that title if they do find out one day. The guards come back in again. I push them out with wind magic again... They come back, i shoot them out.
Mithneel: "You guys are persistant!"
Guard: "We will not leave until you come with us to see Fyra!"
Mithneel: "Will you leave me alone if I go see this damn Fyra!"
Guard: "How dare you speak about her like that! She is an angel compared to all of us! She is innocent!"
Mithneel: "Yeah yeah just walk! I don't have time for this..."
I pick up a book and walk towards them. They lead me towards a carriage and I sit in it. Ulric and Tyr and currently in the market place again. I wonder what they will think of the busted doors.
I keep reading a book about aristocrats and royals. This is actually just a hidden book I found. The books I read were in a small shelf in my new house. This book seems to be a book what should be discarded because it was hidden.
Aristocrats are described as selfish little bastards who do things only for themselves. Royals are even worse. Hah.. That doesn't sound nice.
Well... I'll meet this Aristocrat called Fyra... It is going to be way more annoying than anything in my life isn't it?
I can only imagine what will happen to my life after I meet with their little 'angel'...
---
Author's Note - Ok... I am getting way into tables. I take any chance I get to place a table. I need to calm down a little...
Next time will be a meeting between an 'angel' and our little MC. Get your hopes up! Not. I'll probably dissapoint you if you do.
Sorry for the HUGE wall of pure text. I just have nothing better to give.

Dreamland invasion
Dear Humans,I am very sorry that I have to inform you about the upcoming invasion of our world by foreign forces. We, the management, want to sincerely apologize for allowing this oversight. Sadly, the degree as to which we can interfere in this conflict is severely limited as this would allow the opposing party to act in a similar manner. But please don't worry, contingencies have already been implemented to maximize the effect of the little support we can give. Thus we ask you, to work together in stemming the coming tide, so that humanity may remain on the victorious side. As long as humanity beliefs, there is hope.Yours truly,God of public relations

Hope
There were 2 options: Fight the same war for countless more aeons. Shatter the Betrayer's undead legions time and time again until all was ground to dust. Because the endless legions truly never end. A hair's breath of ground in a century is enough if the war takes all of eternity. Or to choose Hope. To cast away his memories, his power, his very life. To wager everything on a chance to prevent their eventual end or to perish trying. Because if he were to return it would be with the power necessary to finally slay what remains of the Betrayer. Of the last Aspect. Only then would all things be right. And so, he chose the latter. Expect:Weak to strong quick-ish.Powerful MC reincarnates, gradually starts regaining memories.MC that is an actual character not a plot device.My original unique magic system discovered along with the MC.My original setting with mythos that have both been living rent free in my head for actual years.Opening arc will be less fast than the following story. Good writing (I think) and grammar. Upload schedulle: 2 chapters a week of 3-4k words each. I want to upscale to 3 in the future. Meant to be read in RR dark mode. For those coming here from my other stories, this is indeed a reimagining of my older story, CotM. I say reimagining because I have changed so much it cannot be called just a rewrite. Among the major changes, MC is fundamentally different in personality and background, I have actually planned the story out and changed it almost completely and I have adjusted my mythos so it no longer has as many holes as swiss cheese.
