Chances to Another Life 109. The Best I Could Do
As the days passed since the incident, I felt that the burden on my heart became a little relieved because I could express my understanding to Anne. On the other hand, that woman was still the same as before, she still worked at Mr. Shuan's house, got drunk at the pub and went home late, but I rarely heard her scold Celine even in her drunken state. If we crossed paths, Anne would still give me a disapproving look, but she didn't say anything. I also often saw snide looks thrown at Celine when they were talking. However, I took that as good progress. It's not easy to heal trauma, so I took it easy on Anne, as long as she wasn't violent anymore. "Celine! Are you going to work?" I caught up with the child who was walking ahead of me. Her expression had brightened up recently, and she smiled and nodded. "How about that novel? Wasn't it fun?" I asked, referring to the novel with the theme of a story about a golden laying goose and a farm boy. It wasn't thick in pages, and was suitable
Chances to Another Life 110. Unexpected Things
My mind wandered to various things; about my fate at the hands of the elves who were chasing after my mission to help Celine. The teapot of hot water kept pouring out until I shuddered as the water hit my hand. I then took the cup of lemon balm flower tea and sat under the window. It was already late and I had been idly daydreaming in Mr. Gunter's deserted stall. Several times the man had tempted me to break off his invitation to the city, but that didn't seem to be happening. I also thought it was useless to tell him that an acquaintance of his could remove the power of elves in humans; because the problem was not just with that power, but with myself! Duke Nephim had been targeting me from the start, thinking of me as his toy. He must have had a thousand tricks up his sleeve to trap me. I can't imagine if that happens, I'd rather fight with rebel ghosts than with the elves. Oh, don't forget, I don't want to meet the dragon shapeshifters either! I sipped the tea, the liquid warme
Chances to Another Life 111. Anne's Severe Ilness
"A-Anne, I don't understand. You're okay, right?" My mind turned blank at once. Anne looked healthy, well, even with her thin, dry body. However, I couldn't have predicted that she was suffering from a chronic illness. Apparently that's what the healer had kept secret when I asked yesterday. Anne cried silently, she then wiped her tears and looked like she was trying to be strong. "I did fall sick a few times, but I always treated it with medicine that can be bought at a stall and there was no problem whatsoever. However, in the past few days, my body condition has weakened so much that I can't even get out of bed. It didn't go away as long as I took the medicine, so I went to a healer. And, yes, he told me that I had a chronic disease in my intestines, and it had spread everywhere," she explained. I then sat beside her in frustration. "If it's chronic, then the doctor should have detected it when you collapsed at the party. But he said you were just tired! Are you sure he didn't m
Chances to Another Life 112. Try To Find A Way
I lounged in front of Mr. Gunter's deserted stall, there was only one customer who came to buy a dagger this morning, after which the shop was empty. The man who owns it was indifferent and chose to take a nap after leaving the stall to me. Ever since hearing yesterday that Anne won't be around much longer, I've been fretting every second. I don't know, I'm just afraid that if it happens in the near future, while I will definitely leave this world and Celine will be alone. I then sat down on the chair in front of the stall while pondering, I had tried to ask the omniscient Mr. Gunter how much the treatment for chronic diseases would cost, he said that it would require a lot of money because treatment was not enough just once. I considered exchanging some more gold coins to pay for Anne, because I was sure she didn't have much money for that, to the point of letting herself be gnawed by the disease all this time. I also didn't see Celine all day yesterday, more like I avoided her be
Chances to Another Life 113. Rest in Love
I just stood there with a blank stare, accompanied by a few other men and the faint sound of fire coming from the cremation ground. I tugged at the black mourning coat that Lord Crys had lent me with a sense of unease. Some of the guests tapped me on the shoulder to express their condolences, then they left me alone with only two cremation house attendants. I didn't know what was going on, really, it felt like my brain was spinning in circles as I couldn't accept the situation. After the healer spoke to me earlier, his disciple informed me that Anne was dying. I saw the woman, at the point of life and death, ruffle the hair of her only child who was crying hysterically. Anne looked peaceful with a smile on her pale lips. With her remaining strength, she turned to me with a gentle gaze. I knew exactly what it meant, she handed Celine over to me. Her condition at that time was like a corpse with sunken cheeks and blackened eyes. I even just stood trembling in the doorway, while Lord C
Chances to Another Life 114. All Of A Sudden
I only have an hour left in this Leaflim village. I've only been here for a few weeks, but it feels like I've already adapted to everything antique in this world. From the moment I met Celine, to working at Mr. Gunter's stall, everything felt good. I hugged Celine so tightly that the child had a questioning expression. Her face was red from crying and I didn't have the heart to break the news. I didn't want to just disappear and have her search for me in a state of grief. Ah, I thought I still had plenty of time. However, right after this mission was counted as complete, Solace immediately sent me to another place. How cruel of him, I didn't even awaken any power in this world other than the chance to fight Hydra. There were many things I wanted to say to Celine, but suddenly my throat was choked with tears. Looking at that innocent face, I couldn't bear to leave her alone in this world. Celine was alone, and I knew exactly how that felt. "Joe, you're crying." Celine gently wiped
Chances to Another Life 115. I'm in the Danger
It was the same as when I moved from Swinggelir to Leaflim, my consciousness floating between conscious and unconscious. I was clearly aware of everything going on around me, but nothing was happening. Even if it was just the sound of breathing or the breeze. I wanted so badly to meet Solace and question him about why he had sent me on the day Anne died. It was a very bad move from a being who was supposed to help failed people. I'd bombard him with questions I was ready to fire off, but nothing happened. My hands and feet felt numb and my vision was still black. Why did it take so long? The nausea strikes again, and I hold it in as best I can. I planned to throw up in front of Solace, letting her know that he couldn't mess with me just because I was a failure. An instant later, the faint sounds of people talking could be heard over each other, interspersed with deafening noises. It was almost like a New Year's Eve atmosphere filled with fireworks explosions. The sound of heavy a
Chances to Another Life 116. My Role (Again)
Little by little I could understand the situation, Louis was our leader because everyone obeyed his words, Damian was the sniper who was caught by the enemy and was lucky to escape safely, then Alex, Adam, and I were the vanguard who had to conquer the enemy. Now that we were running in a large field with bushes and trees on several sides, it was very easy for us to camouflage. The sound of explosions could still be heard, but the frequency was far away. Still, I couldn't get over the fact that I'd been thrown a grenade, and Louis had warned me that there were mines planted around here. I always complained when I was at Leaflim, about how my days were so boring because I was just working in a stall. However, I was missing that tedious activity again as I tiptoed around to avoid possible mines now! "The terrain ahead is pretty safe, not too many mines like before," Alex said as he got ready to cock his pistol. We were now ducking in these large bushes. "Why is it so quiet? Where ar
