《A book fanatic's Journey through a Fantasy World》Chapter 15: Resolve
Advertisement
The red robed elder stands up and starts walking to a backdoor and opens it, after carefully looking outside he beckons me to come.
“Follow me, I will escort you to little miss Junipers new house.” -Red
“You said her house, does she not live with the rest of her family.”
“Quick in the Coach and be sure to close the curtains we will talk when there is no risk of you getting seen.” -Red
As I leave the hall I can hear the opening of big wooden doors and one of the elders shouting: “We have put this criminal to death for his crimes against our kin."
After the elder claims i have died i can hear the crowd bursts out with cheers and they praise the elders for their wise judgment.
Well good to know how the average populace thinks about me. I would love to see their faces when they will learn I am still alive. Well what did I expect they think I killed four of their clansman and was planning on killing them all. I must have become the biggest villain in their secluded history. I would be surprised if they do not make things like plays like The Brave Princess saving the tribe from the Evil Demon.
“Well I sure am loved here.”
“Hahaha, yes sorry about the big act. You asked if she lived with her family right?” -Red
“Yes.”
“No that is not the case. All of the children of the golden dragon clan chief live separately in order to not develop affection for each other.” - Red
“Wow that is pretty barbaric.”
“Yes we think so to and I am pretty sure this custom is the reason why there always is so much bloodshed when a new golden dragon clan chief is chosen.” -Red
“So where are you taking me exactly?”
“Outside.” -Red
“Oh outsi...... wait what! Did you all not hide yourself in this cave in fear of being discovered?”
“Oh yes but your little aura has robbed that luxury of us. I am sure some organizations will come to investigate such a strong and pure death aura, so I we keep hiding they will start looking around and ultimately find us.” -Red
“Oh so I am a sort of distraction for unwanted guests. Pretty smart if worst comes to worst you could always let them take me away. That way everyone will be happy they will have their explanation and no one will come looking for answers anymore, well everyone except me. But aren’t you sacrificing that little Juniper for this to work.”
“Not really since that way she will be safe from Veronica and no one will be able to see you.” -Red
“So who else will I be living in this house or whatever kind of residence you built.”
“Only you, Juniper and Ariel.” -Red
After saying this he just grins at me.
“Wait........ Ariel, that annoying woman, can we talk about the other option I had again again.”

“Nope to late, we already told everyone we killed you.” -Red
“Amazing why did I have to get captured. And there will be no guards?”
“Well only the elders know that you are alive thus we can't really appoint any guards, so you will be their guard.” -Red
“Oh you guys trust me that much.”
“Oh no we do not trust you in the slightest, but we trust in the collar around your neck.” - Red
“Talking about that collar, what will happen when I try step out of the line”
“Well if its a small thing you will just feel pain that will keep growing more worse until you die, and big things like trying to kill them or trying to remove the collar will kill you immediately.” -Red
“So would you be willing to tell me how it will kill me?”
“No, I don't think that telling a death mage the cause of his dead will be smart.” -Red
Dam it simply want to know if attacks my soul or my body. I can easily survive the destruction of my body but I have not learned any techniques to counter a soul attack. How come the adults of my universe actually are intelligent and not big idiots like you read in all those novels. Well I guess this is real life and not some book and I am sure I will meet a lot of stupid adults in the future. I just have to look out to not turn into a stupid adult myself.”
“Well we have arrived every month one of the elders will come and visit to check up on you guys and deliver some living necessities. Oh en you have the right to kill anyone who tries to kill Juniper or Ariel. If anyone tries to kill you it would be nice to detain them but if not possible you can kill them. Oh and don't forget to train Juniper.” -Red
“Sure where is the training manual?”
“Ariel has it so get out of the coach we don't have much time.” - Red
“Before you go can you tell me when I will be released.”
“Oh of course I almost forgot to tell it to you. You will be released after Juniper or Ariel has become the next chief and you also will be able to venture into the Dragons Realm.”
“Dragon realm?”
“The Dragons Realm is a treasure vault left behind by the Great Dragon who created our clan. It contains some extraordinary treasure but also great danger.”
I can feel the corners of my lips curving upwards and I am sure that if this was an anime I would be drawn as a chibi character who's eyes started sparkling. This is more like it, a real dungeon and it even is created by a dragon. This is the adventure I have been longing for. Oh I am so happy I will make sure that kid becomes the next clan chief even if I have to slaughter all the opposition myself but if that won't work I will just have to force my way in.

“Oh you could have told me the rewards earlier.”
“Greedy aren't we? But I have to leave now before anyone notices my absence. Make yourself comfortable one of the other elders will bring Juniper and Ariel over this evening, oh and here are the keys” -Red
“Sure.”
Now lets see what kind of housing they gave me. As I step out of the coach I can see a small t-shaped house build upon a little hill. They sure where greedy this is barely big enough for three people I wonder how they got all of the bedr..... oh no they did not do this!
I rush to the house and try the open the door with the key, but I am not really good with the doors from this time and in a life as a child I had to almost never open one. After struggling for a minute I finally succeed in opening the door but this is no time to be happy about my victory.
I enter the house and arrive in a big room. I can see one big wooden comfy looking armchair with a blanket over it and two big pillows and one bench with a few pillow and blankets on it. This should be the living area.
There is also a big table with four normal chairs around it and a there is a dresser filled with plates, glasses and cutlery. This should be the part of the room used for dining .
And last I can see a kitchen and to my great surprise I find a modern looking furnace that works on mana and even a fridge. How is this possible could the founder of this clan be from a world like earth.
As open all the cabinets I can see they have given us a lot of food. Some meat and vegetables but mostly flour and something resembling rice. I guess rice is the staple food in that cave. I wonder how they cultivate it in conditions like those.
But these guys sure did a good job. If they built this cabinet in only a few hours, then I really am impressed.
Shit I got sidetracked, I need to check out the bedroom. There are two doors one on the side of the kitchen and one on the side of the dining table, one of them has to be the bedroom. Lets start with the room on the right, this means the one on side of the kitchen. As I enter the room I enter a small state of chock. Can this really be a western style bathroom.
This will be so handy, this was my biggest issue with this world, its primitive bathing quarters. Well I guess such things are really pricey so only people like nobles and royalty would normally have them.
This confirms it, at least someone of their clan lived or visited a planet like earth. I got really lucky this time, thank you unknown senior for making my life easier. I do need to get my hands on the blueprints of this equipment since I won't be living here for longer then a few years. This only leaves one door unchecked, the one on the side of the dining table.
As I walk the door on the left side of the house I can feel my heartbeat going out of control. I stop right before the door and gather all my courage before opening it. Please don't be like I think it will be. As I enter the room I can see one big double bed that you would expect in a medieval era.
No this can't be, this must a bad joke. Did they really do it, one big bed for the three of us. Is this a plan to win my loyalty by getting me close to those two sisters or did they just think it was no problem since as far as they think I am still a ten year old child. No they must know that this is not my real age, that much shows from how they interacted with me, they treated me like an equal and not a child. Dam you old geezers trying to trap me with those sisters, but their plan is doomed to fail since the girls from their family have left a rather bad first impression on me.
But sisters, I do miss mine.
I punch the wall and I can feel tears forming in my eyes and rolling down my face. Dam it is all my fault, when I grow stronger I will be sure to spoil sis rotten. I don't care, I took away her parents doing something like that is nothing compared to that.
Yeah I can't stay here for long for the simple reason that I still need to find sis. I will grow stronger and kill that Valerie and everyone who tries to stop it. I don't care if I have to slaughter half of their clan for it. The faster I grow stronger the quicker I can get my freedom back and enter the Dragon Realm and acquire even more strength inside of it.
Yes I will stop for nothing I can't waste my time because every day I spend here is one day more in which she might face grave danger. I don’t care who tries to hurt her as long I can prevent it I will do anything even if that means making an enemy of this world.
If I couldn't save sis because i took to long to find her then what is the point in having acquired that strength. I will give myself one year to train and then I will kill Veronica, but for this collar will just slow my training down.
I am afraid of dying but I am more afraid of sis getting hurt because I took to long. So fuck this collar!. I try to break the collar with all of my strength and feel a violent energy scourging through my body before the pain forces me unconscious.

Cycles, which the only purpose is to purify soul – release it from the burden of its memories and experience, the process, that would let the soul be reincarnated again, to experience new life. The world is being born, it is being populated by souls, the smaller and bigger, the world would die and be reshaped anew. In a cycle. A never-ending process. Since the dawn of time, since the countless cycles, the pool of soul was closed, a soul that died could be reincarnated only within a System of its Administrator. Until now. Join us in our story of a single soul which because of certain events could no longer be reincarnated in its original world – being forced to be transferred into Universe ruled another Administrator – another God in world full of Fantasy and Magic, watch him casting aside his previous restriction and try living his life to the fullest… thought someone, somewhere, may have different plans for this weird, weird soul. Ps. There are game elements here Disclaimers and warnings: - This story uses clichés. Like, lots of it. - I am not a native English speaker, so my grammar may not be best (It actually is pretty horrible). First 80 or so chapters are a true butchery for eyes and I admit it. Shouldn’t I correct them then? I should. Why am I not doing it? Who knows. Maybe one day I will. - This story is pretty much an experiment. I try different perspectives, different styles, I can make some random Deus-ex-machina if I would consider that I made mistake in the story and decide to change it. - This story is written for pure fun, if you expect some mind-blowing plots and conspiracy of top-level authors – then you will be most likely disappointed. - Easter eggs. Easters eggs everywhere. Every now and then you will be able to spot single events, characters and lines of text that belong in different stories/mangas/movies/books and such. Of course, they do not belong to me but to the owners, though I am not listing them – I am sorry, but if you need to be told from where line comes, we won’t be friends. - And finally. The story is written for you and WITH YOU. If you have any suggestions, events, characters, skills, class… ANYTHING… you wish to see, please – tell me. In best case scenario I would use them, in worse – I would just not implement them, so what do you lose? Guyz I owe my thanks for their contribution: KenChi?
