I wake up in a place, not too dark but “So bright”, I thought while trying to stand up.

“Where am I? And who are they?” I look around and examine this place.

There is a group of people. “Approximate 20” I guess.

“A big white room without windows? And a glowing circle under my feet?”

I remembered that I suicide because of unemployment.

”I’m so sorry because I can’t give you a good life” I tormented while I thought about my wife. “I’m so idiot when thinking about death. Now I have a chance to live another life, I will change my destiny. I will make her the happiest woman in the world.”

I have strong confidence but after that, I hear a soft voice. I turn my gaze towards the sound.

“What a beautiful woman!” I muttered while looking at her beauty. “She must be more beautiful than the most beautiful woman in the world.”

While I am hypnotized by her beauty, she says loudly but softly:

“Welcome our heroes, we give you the most respectful greetings.” The woman continues “Let me introduce myself. I’m the princess of Kurast, Alusair. You may be confused right now but before you ask something let’s meet my father.”

After hearing that, I’m confident that I have another life.

“I won’t give it up again. I will the way to get back home. My wife is waiting for me to have dinner together.” I say with a clenched fist.

I and everyone follow the princess. We pass by a garden.

“This palace is bigger than I have ever imagined.”

After walking for half an hour, we stop at a large gilded gate.

“And even rich. The kingdom seems to be rich or the king is too greedy.” I thought “Never mind, at least he can help to go home.”

“Please behave respectfully to my father. He easily gets angry with crud actions” The princess smiled at us.

Her smile can smelt the icy heart of a rigid person but I feel uncomfortable. Her smile is full of meaning which I get goosebumps whenever I see it.

“I should stay away from her. She is too mystery and ‘dangerous’.” I thought while trembling. I clear out my throat and move in the throne room.

The King is now sitting on a throne carved with a great number of gemstones. I could see the aura shining from the king.

“He must have engaged a lot of battles when he was young.” I thought while rubbing my chin. I let my guard down and relax. The king raises his voice solemnly:

“Welcome heroes. Thanks for coming to this small kingdom. My name is Azoun. We were once known as the most powerful kingdom.” His tone of voice suddenly changes:

“We are now in trouble. The monster is getting stronger every day but the will of our soldier remains low and continuing decreasing. We also have a serious food shortage. We need your help, heroes. We can give you anything you want in return. Please save us!” His voice is trembling. His tears are about to spread. Surprisingly, one of us say as respectfully as possible:

“Your majesty, after hearing about the condition of the kingdom, I couldn’t help but go out the battlefield and beat all the monsters up. If you send me out of there, I won’t betray your expectations, your majesty.”

“HAHA, good! I have a lot of expectations on all heroes here.” The King says with a smile.

“Daughter, arrange the rooms for the heroes. Make sure to please all heroes.” (King)

“Yes father, Heroes, I will lead you to your room and remember to say ‘stat’ to check out your stat. We will have the first training after the morning breakfast tomorrow. Have a good day, heroes!”

I head to my room. “Nothing special as I expected.” I sigh “Let’s check out the stat then.”

A board pops up in front of me.

“Ok, so this is my stat. Not that bad after all.” I say with satisfaction.

“But why I have talent in magic and why my intelligence is so high?” I wonder why Then I hear a voice.

“Receiving messages…”

“Hello? Can you hear me?”

“Yes. But who are you?” I curiously say.

“I’m sorry. I can’t tell you now.” He sadly shakes his head “All I can tell you is that you are in danger. You have to become stronger and look for a Dungeon Lord, John. When you’re done, I will tell you what to do next. So good luck!”.

“Wait… Wait, I have something to ask” I say hurriedly but I can’t hear any responds. I try to figure out what he meant.

“I’m in danger? And I have to find a Dungeon Lord. I think I will ask the princess about this. She might know a bit” I let out my sigh while lying in the bed.

“Awww, It is hurt. Well, the straw bed, not expected much.” I sigh even heavier than the last one “At least it is better than lying on the floor.”

I try to sleep, but can’t. I keep thinking idle until dark.

“It is dark now. Let’s take a walk” I wake up and head towards the garden.

The moon is shining brightly in the dark sky. Looking at it makes me remember my wife intensely. I remember how happy she was when I first proposed her. I didn’t have much money at that time so I gave her an ordinary ring. But she gave me a happy smile. The most beautiful smile I have ever seen in my entire life. Her smile soothes my hurt heart and gives me the strength to face the difficult things in my life. That's why I promise to protect her even risking my life.

“I have to go home.” I clenched my teeth “To do that, I have to find John.”

I head back to my room to take a nap because of the training tomorrow.

******

I’m in a very bad situation. My left leg and right arm are super hurt. I have to rely on the sword to stand. Standing in front of me is one of the most powerful paladins in this kingdom.

He provokes me: “Are you a man? Even you are a magician but you are still a man. Come and get me.”

I put strength into my leg and rush towards him. But he easily dodges my attack and swings his sword toward me. Thanks to my talent, I can easily infuse magic in my sword and try to block the attack.

The paladin smiles at me: “Don’t you even know how to infuse magic correctly, little boy? Look at me.”

He infuses his magic professionally in his sword. His sword vibrates intensely.

The magic flowing inside the paladin’s sword glows a deeper blue than mine.

After seeing that, I knew I can’t fully block that attack but I still put all my strength and hope for the miracle thing happens.

When his sword touches mine, a small explosion occurs that sends me flying about 100 meters backward.

My back hit the floor hard. I can’t help but screech. “Ahh, that’s extremely hurt”. My instinct is roaring that I could die anytime but I still stand up. I hold the wooden sword even more tightly. I staring at him to find out his weakness but I can’t.

“The rarity of your skill ‘observation’ isn’t high enough to find that person’s weakness.” (System)

"How many percentages to win, System."

"Calculating, please wait..."

"The rarity of your skill 'observation' isn't high enough to give out the exact percentages."

"Guessing... 5%"

"Ok, thanks".

I put all my strength and magic into my leg and rush towards him again. This time I move professionally to make him difficult to guess.

“At least I have to hit him once.” But I stumble. I try to stand up again but all my strength seems to leave my body. My consciousness slowly fades away.

“Good job, little boy!” The Paladin says with satisfaction.

I fainted. Goodnight!
