A powerful mage before, A ring now!?

Chapter 3: In Another World Finally!!

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.
