I have to wait almost half an hour for her to calm herself down finally. At that time, I repeatedly tell her that I'm not a cursed ring and she shouldn't be a scare at all.

"Are you okay?" I asked the girl as there were still some tears left.

"I'm okay but are you really not a cursed ring at all?"

"You could rest assured that I am not that sort of ring, I understand why you felt that way but again I am telling you that I simply a wooden ring."

I could tell that within the girl's eyes that she still doubted me. Right now, she had no choice to trust me as she couldn't take me off her finger.

"So why can't I remove the ring? If you aren't a cursed ring, it would easily be taken off just like a normal ring would do…"

"Unfortunately, I also don't know why." I said, "But don't need to worry as I am a talented mage. I would think of a way for you to remove me finally!"

"A talented mage? How could a wooden ring be a mage… It doesn't make any sense as you don't even have a body." The girl said that she does not have the knowledge of who I am.

"I'm indeed a talented mage but I doubt that you have heard my name… Still, you might have heard about one mage that has created the Elixir Of Immortality in Aeqelar" I said that as I am sure that she knows about the rumour.

Even though I didn't make any public appearance that much in the world before, the whole Aeqeler knows about me despite all believe that the Elixir Of Immortality was just a rumour. A man that had lived for a thousand years.

"I never heard a place called Aeqeler before, was Aeqelar a name of a village in the southern region as I never been there before."

I was literally shocked when I heard her say that. How could she not know about Aeqeler, the world that she currently lives in right now? There's no way that the world could change the name after I've been stuck for years. It's impossible.

"Don't you know that Aeqelar was this world name?" I said that with the girl as I think the reason she said that was simply because she doesn't have the knowledge at all.

I remember that this girl said she was a village girl. I guess she doesn't learn that history that much, she might be working her whole life until she neglected the importance of knowledge.

"Aeqelar? What are you talking about? This world is called Griaseosia and not Aeqelar." The girl said that to me.

I can't believe what I hear right now. All of this time, I thought I was still in the World of Aeqelar but instead I was in another world. That explains a lot of things right now. I know what had happened after that explosion.

I did actually succeed to go to another world through the portal. I think there was some error in the spell that caused me to become a ring. It wasn't an explosion when I really think about it. My body was simply just trying to adapt to this new world.

I remember that I had read warnings about it but it wasn't that clear. Suppose I recall correctly in one of the weathered parchments that I found. There was indeed a particular line telling about an appearance change if someone goes into another world.

Back then, I just thought it would change my facial structure or skin colour. I never feel that it would be meant like this. It's like changing to a completely different thing.

Knowing that my dream has been fulfilled, I don't know whether I should be happy as I had become a wooden ring. Another part of my plan was to venture into the world, but that wasn't happening if I stuck as an object.

"Hey? Are you listening… Are you dead?" The girl said that as I was utterly absorbed in my thought for a moment.

"Sorry, I was just thinking about some stuff." As I didn't hear what the girl said, I said, "I am still not dead and what do you want to tell me?"

"I mean to ask you why you called this world as Aeqelar but you didn't seem to listen at all." She said that to me.

Should I tell her about Aeqelar? I don't think she needed to know but I guess there's no real harm for her to know. It's just about the World Aeqeler and nothing more.

Aeqelar is a world full of fantasy and magic. It's a very peaceful world to live in. There's no war or anything that could disturb the peace.

Still, there was danger but most of it could be dealt with efficiently and it rarely happens. The world was so great and everyone was happy to live in Aeqeler.

"WAIT! You come from another world!?" The girl said as she was pretty surprised by it.

"Yes, I am indeed from another world. Is that so hard for you to believe it, young lady?"

"Well, it might be believable if you're not a ring of course… but for a ring, it's pretty hard for me to accept that."

"I know it's hard to believe but I have a body back in my old world, I just somehow ended up in this stupid ring form when I get to this world," I said that to the girl.

The girl wanted to say something but she realised something. "I'm late!" She then runs towards the direction that had several windmills. She seems to be in a rush.

I don't know why the girl acted like this, was there something wrong? "Why are you rushing, is there something important?" I ask her as I could tell from her looks that she had some uneasy feelings.

"I am late. Madam would be mad if I don't appear in time…" The girl was running as fast as she could.

I see but I somehow remember something, "Don't you say that you're gonna head home and sleep, I thought you had finished your work and about to head home to get some rest?"

"I didn't remember… But I could tell you that I am heading home."

The girl enters an area which I could tell it was a village. I noticed that we're heading towards the large mansion instead of one of those wooden houses. I began to think if this girl was an aristocrat or something with a higher status.

She then arrived in front of the mansion gate. The guards immediately opened the gate when they saw her. I then started to believe that this girl was an aristocrat because she did say that this was her home. I wonder why she called herself a village girl before?

When the girl had entered the mansion, I saw a gorgeous middle-aged lady with brown hair standing there and seemed to be waiting for someone. I suspect that she was waiting for this girl to come home.

"You're late. I clearly tell you to get here earlier before the sun is set!" The gorgeous lady scolded the girl.

"I'm sorry Madam Nia, I know that I'm late but please forgive me… I will make sure that this will be the last time that I will be late." The girl pleads.

"Fine, you could take the food supplies at the storage room and leave as soon as you have done, I had some important guests tonight and I don't want you to be here."

The girl then bows as she then went to a room, the storage room was huge. It's almost like my house size. Still, I wonder why this girl was in this mansion.

"Didn't you call that person a madam, doesn't that mean she is your superior or boss?" I said that.

"No, everyone in this village called her that as she was the one who governs our little village."

"Oh, so she is the head of this village but why are you asking for the food supplies? If the village doesn't have food of their own, I see there's a lot of crops in the village so I don't think there's a food shortage at all."

"To be honest with you, all of the crops that have been harvested would be sent to Madam Nia. That's why we needed to take food supplies from her."

"Isn't that stupid, why would you give the crops to her… Shouldn't the farmer take it all for themselves as they're the one who plants the crops right?"

"I know that is stupid but you should know the reason behind it. This village wasn't in great condition at all and people were starving back then." While she said that, she lifted a medium-size cask and began to carry it out of the storage room."

She then continues to explain why they're giving the crops to Madam Nia. I listened closely to her explanation as I wanted to know because I felt like this villager had been tricked.

    People in this village don't have the required tools to start a farm, even though we have large fields it is pretty useless for us if we don't have those things.Until Madam Nia came to this village and started to help us, she provided the tools and all of the seeds in exchange that all of the crops that had been harvested must be sent to her.Of course, when the elder of the village hears about this. They immediately disagree as it's like the whole village was simply a slave. The villagers demand that they keep the crops for themself as this was our land.Madam Nia simply told all of the villagers that she wouldn't get any benefit by helping us. The main reason she came to this village was to gain more money. Our village doesn't belong to any aristocrats so it will be easy for her to become this place owner."Wait there is something that I wanted to ask, Is Madam Nia, an aristocrat?""Yes, Madam Nia does come from a pretty well-known family in the kingdom and because of that it makes

    The silence remained until we all had reached Liora house. I don't know why, but I feel that the man would do something terrible all of the time. It might be because he was wearing a mask and didn't want to talk that much.Not to mention the weird magical aura that comes from this guy. Maybe because I had become a ring that my magic sense was all messed up right now or it could just be this world had a different magical aura from a human in my world.Still, I found it a bit surprising that Liora just had a faint magical aura when I first met her. I could hardly notice it but it doesn't matter that much as she wouldn't become a mage after all."Thank you. You could put down the cask already as we're already in front of my cabin," Liora says.I do notice that Liora was kind of living far from the rest of the village. There are only a few cabins around her home."It's better for me to carry it all the way inside your home." That man replied.Were people in this world this kind? I know th

    The vampire slowly opens the doors. It was indeed a lady holding a baby in her arms. The lady was a bit surprised that she saw a man opening that door. She must have expected that Liora would open it.When the door was open, Liora shouts as loud as she could tell the lady to run away from this place. The lady immediately notices Liora was on the floor and starts to question the vampire instead of running."Who're you, young man… What're you doing inside Liora house and why is Liora on the floor?" The lady said that.The vampire didn't reply at all as he showed his bloodthirsty expression towards the lady. The moment he does that, I could sense that this vampire was using another spell. I know pretty well about it as I always do it when I am in a challenging situation to get some items.The spell that he was using was none other than a charm spell, reading the magical energy that the vampire used on that spell. I guess it was one of the basic ones. It would not be that effective agains

    Even with the vast magical energy that Liora had at this moment, it would be a waste if she keeps doing the light orb spell. It doesn't even hit the vampire even once and I know that Liora needed to learn a new kind of spell to kill this vampire."Liora stops wasting magical energy like that. I know that you're angry but try to control the anger," I say as she didn't seem to listen to me.Liora kept casting the light orb spell as the vampire slowly advanced towards her."Hahaha! I assume you're a novice mage… you couldn't cast any other spell and it took you quite a long time to cast one." The vampire says as both of his hands had transformed into a sharp blade and if that hit Liora, I am sure that she would die instantly.When I took a closer look at that sharp blade, I noticed that there's some spell that had been cast on it. If I was not mistaken, I think the spell was called Decaying Blood.I don't use that kind of spell but I do have experienced its effect before. When I was in a

    "There's no need for you to feel guilty at all. You didn't even know that the man was a vampire," I say that to comfort Liora. "You should be proud of yourself as you did manage to kill the vampire…""Proud? There's nothing to be proud of." Liora says as tears keep falling, "I am the causes of their death! I was the one that did that… I-I-I""Listen here, Liora. You aren't the one at fault here. The blame should be on me. I let my guard down even though I did notice that the man's magical aura was different." I say that Liora shouldn't pin all of the guilt on her alone. I was as responsible as she was in causing this death.It's tough for me to convince Liora that she wasn't the one to blame in this matter. Even if she had known it earlier, there's nothing Liora could do. Liora was lucky as she had my magical energy to use and also she was able to cast the greater fireball.If not, Liora would surely die by the vampire's hand and this whole village would be slaughtered.

    From afar, I could hear a scream coming from the mansion. It was pretty loud as I think they're all shouting for help. Liora was still unconscious and it seems there's no way she would wake any time now.Somehow I feel glad that Liora was unconscious right now. Suppose she did manage to make it to the mansion and face of the vampires there. Liora wouldn't be able to survive as she would be dead in a matter of seconds.I don't know what's gotten into me but it's almost like I don't care about everyone else in this world except Liora. Liora does look similar to her; her eyes and hair… all of it looks the same.The more I look at Liora. There's a strange sensation that I felt in my heart right now. It's almost like I had felt this before. It was when I met the same girl as Liora in Aeqelar back.What was this feeling? I found it weird and it had happened to me before. Still, I can describe what I was feeling. Was it guilt? Was it really guilt… I wonder if that was really what I feel rig

    This is what people always do when the blame is on them. They would put it on others just to lighten up their guilt that has placed in their heart at the moment. I think this is what Liora is doing right now. But Liora wasn't at fault at all and there's no reason for her to bear the guilt. The one to blame for this destruction was the vampires and Madam Nia. She was the one that invited the vampires into this village in the first place. If Madam Nia doesn't invite them, all of this would never happen and this village might still exist as it used to. Still, there's no use for me to tell Liora that as she would definitely reject it at all. She will just keep blaming herself or me. The best thing I could do right now was to explain that I didn't put any spell on her that made her faint at that time. "Liora… I don't put any spell on you at all. It was all an effect of you casting the advanced spell and the amount of magical energy that you received from me." I say that as I hope she wi

    Liora left the mansion as there's nothing left there. The only thing we could find was the sapphire brooch. I did ask Liora whether she would sell the brooch for some gold.She answered that she wanted to keep the sapphire brooch for herself. It's for her to remind her of what had happened in this village. A keepsake item that Liora wanted to hold on with her.If that was what Liora chose to do, I guess I had no rights to ask her to sell. Besides, the sapphire brooch does have a sentimental value of its own, so I think it's better this way."Okay, what's next? Do you want to start your training right now…" I asked Liora that as she does need to train to become a mage."Let's hold the training first. We must report this to the town. The people in the town need to be aware that there's a vampire around the area. I do not want anyone to die again." Liora said that."You're right, Liora, we should tell the authority about the vampire."Our next destination was the town that was not far fr

    The man also added: "Also, it's best to stay inside until dawn. Otherwise you might attract predators lurking outside."At that point, Liora thanked him and proceeded to walk away from his directions. Once she left, he gave me a friendly wave and continued walking.It leaves us pondering what predators does man mention about, as the village seems to be rather secure with a few guards walking down the area. We wanted to ask more but the man had already gone…Even if we're a bit confused, Liora decided to follow the man's advice as she doesn't want to get into trouble. Which I agree as well, because I do not think that Liora is in a condition to fight as she barely knows any spells. As she only could cast a fireball and a healing spell, with a fairly limited amount as well due to her mana reserve being small.Plus restocking our supplies is the primary goal here… as Liora needs the extra food and water to continue her training of learning magics.…As we reached the market, the place wa

    Chapter 15: The Village of Rynn

    It's been a few weeks already and it seems like Liora has grasped a few basic fundamentals of casting a spell. She's still not able to cast anything too complicated, but she can at least use the simple spells that are common in most schools of magic—like healing or fireballs. While training her, I do notice that her healing and fire affinity seems to be much stronger than my own. It doesn't seem as if she is using any specific rituals for these abilities though; just standard magical practice should suffice? That might explain why she was so much more powerful the first she casted the fireballs spell at that vampire. And I have no doubt there will come a day when we'll be fighting for our lives, she will be able to protect herself and others around her. So far though, all this practice was also helping me get used to how different it feels from using magic as a Ring; even if you know what you're doing, your body doesn't always react accordingly because it's accustomed to something e

    Chapter 14: Mage Training

    After a while, Liora finally found a place that was good enough for her to start practicing magic. The area was pretty vast and there's nothing that will happen even if Liora messed up some spell.It's better than the previous place that Liora suggested which was near the forest. There's no way I wanted Liora to practice magic there. It was not safe as there was a monster in the forest and what would happen if she failed to control the spell.As I was thinking of teaching her a fire-based spell. If Liora messed up, the whole forest might be consumed by fire and I don't want that to happen.This place was the perfect spot as there's nothing that will burnable things and it's close to a river. There's no nearby village of any sort and I think there's no dangerous monster around here.Even if there's a monster, it will be easily spotted as there's nothing that will obstruct our view. That also makes us quite visible as well but I think Liora could handle some low-level monster pretty fin

    "My village has been destroyed by vampires…"As the woman hears that, she looks surprised. "What! Vampires… I thought that creatures wouldn't do that as they hate to gain attention.""So you do not believe them… just like the guards.""It's kinda hard to believe what you're saying, Liora." The woman then puts her hand on Liora's shoulder as she continues to say, "But I trust you, you're not that kind of a girl that would tell lies...""Thank you… I am here to quit my job. I have to pursue the vampire and kill it for the sake of my village.""That I cannot do, you would be killed! Let the guards handle this problem…""The guards wouldn't do anything! I already told them and they all just laughed at me and said it wasn't real." Liora said that."Then, I would go there personally and smack the guards until they listen to you.""No need to do that. I already made up my mind as I would be the one to kill the vampires," Liora said with full determination."You would just die! You're powerle

    Seeing that the captain also behaves like this. Liora didn't have much choice but to leave the barrack. Well, I would do the same thing as well. Guards in this town don't even seem to care at all."So, what's now? Straight to training…""No, I have some other things to do first. I wanted to quit my job at the tavern and then we would go to train.""Quit your jobs! Why?" I say that as Liora needed the gold to survive, if she quit her job, that would mean she wouldn't have any gold. Liora's cabin was burned down and all of her valuable stuff was gone, including gold."You asking why? So that I can dedicate myself to training and hunt the vampires down… If the guards don't want to help, I would be the one who was going to do it.""But how're you going to survive? Do you have enough gold left?""It's not much but I think I will manage it.
