Chances to Another Life 125. Adam's Trauma
"Hey, Joe, catch the biggest chicken! We're going to have a party and roast the chicken!" Ela shouted as she joined the hunt for other chickens in the yard. Suddenly, I moved swiftly and managed to catch the big hen, which kept struggling until I gave it to Ela. "Wow, thank you!" she exclaimed excitedly. Three days had passed since I'd settled in, and nothing had happened. When we arrived, the next day Adam and I immediately reported to the guard post, which was only manned by two people, whereas there were usually five on guard. Well, that proves that the truce went well without anything to worry about. Therefore, my daily life now was to be invited by Ela to follow her wherever she went. She always argued that she would take me to do exciting activities, but she actually took me to the river to fish which had to pass through swamps, as well as telling me to feed the chickens and take care of the plants. I didn't mind, but this made me feel like a little sister when I was with El
Chances to Another Life 126. I Came Back!
The soldier with the rank of major drew me out with his sharp gaze, accompanied by two furrowed eyebrows as if he was wondering if I was still sane. He then sighed heavily as he whispered something to his partner who was also staring at me with a fierce look. Being stared at like that by two guard soldiers, I could only maintain a flat face with a perfect attitude. There are now 10 soldiers chosen by General Collins and Commander Gilbert gathered here. Of course I was replacing Adam, even that man had suddenly caught a fever just as I was about to leave here. "Joe, thank you. When my condition improves, I'll follow you to the battlefield. Wait for me there, I won't forgive you if you die."Those were Adam's words just before I grabbed a large military bag of supplies and excused myself from his house. "Don't push yourself. I'll wait for you." That was the only reply I made after saying goodbye to Adam's family members, who all had worried faces. Mrs. Rein was worried about me, but
Chances to Another Life 127. Explosion
I had no idea whatsoever that cleaning up drones meant combing through the piles of drones that were piled high like mountains of garbage abandoned by the janitor. I picked up the object, which was shaped like any other drone in my world, an infrared dot still lit up in the center that I assumed served as a camera. Without thinking, I immediately separated it into another pile for the experts to clean up. Of course, I'm not an expert in technological matters. Presumably 50 soldiers were now combing this red-soil field area. I don't know what this area used to be, but it's certain that no human being would want to live around here with natural conditions that are fairly arid and uncomfortable. The T-shirt I was wearing was even soaked in sweat, even though I'm not someone who sweats easily. The other 25 people were in charge of clearing mines, so in addition to having to separate the piled-up drones, I also had to tiptoe carefully so as not to die silly. It was now getting late in
Chances to Another Life 128. I Wish I Could Run Away
I never took dreams seriously, but this time I really wanted to wake up and escape from everything that had happened. This memory was very vivid because of the pain I was still suffering all over my body after being bounced around by the bomb blast. Particles of dirt were wafting through the air so my vision was limited, but I could faintly hear screams and bodies clad in army uniforms in the distance. It would undoubtedly be fine if I got hit by a bomb, after all, I wouldn't be able to die. However, what bothered me the most was the sergeant's remark that Greenish had been destroyed. That was impossible. How could that be? According to the information I knew, Greenish and other food supply areas had very strict guards and not just anyone could enter there. I even had to go naked to be checked to make sure that I wasn't carrying anything suspicious when I visited the village with Adam. Then, at the same time, my eyes closed because it was so hard to maintain consciousness. I was
Chances to Another Life 129. Solace
Even though my vision wasn't completely clear, my body felt like it was moving on its own to beat up the Solace in front of me. I was sure I had exerted all my strength to give him the greatest punch of my lifetime, but all I felt was like punching a very hard wall. Solace was flat-footed, and the look in his eyes clearly showed that he was bored. I felt even more compelled to turn him into a punching bag. I punched again, several times, but to no avail, instead my knuckles turned red and cracked. "Crazy bastard." I cursed as I kept my distance from the creature. "How could you show up without a single guilty look? I know you're not human, but you're even worse than that."It hurt so much when I thought of Adam who had suddenly died at a young age, along with Celine who was alone, and Adellia with her destiny for the kingdom. "You seem to only want to make me a patient of the mental hospital after this. What help is that? It looks like I'm making their lives even more miserable!" I
Chances to Another Life 130. Start A New Role
I'm now like a spirit floating through the air, passing through a line of soldiers to a small cemetery at the edge of a village in the middle of nowhere. Time in a vacuum is indeed different from time in the ordinary world, then it seems that I have passed through a lot of things because now Adam's body and the civilians who were hit by the bomb have been buried. I stare at the tombstone bearing my friend's name, along with a picture of him smiling slightly in his military uniform. He's exactly the Adam I saw last time, I've only known him for a short time but the sadness is overwhelming. The soldiers saluted and carried out the military funeral procession as a last respect with great solemnity. Next to Adam's grave, the graves of his other family members were lined up and I couldn't hold back the tears I had been holding back. They were good people, but why did they have to suffer such a tragic fate? I'm leaving this world, and Adam will never return to the military. He's now sett
Chances to Another Life 131. I'm Close to the Trouble Makers
Fertilizing the fields turned out to be very tiring, I thought with my previous experience I would suddenly become turbo-charged, but it was the same with the scorching sunlight in the morning. I then put down the sack of stinky fertilizer, and endured the nausea while drinking soothing water. I'd been working since early morning, but this vast field seemed endless. Maybe it's because there are only two of us working, so it feels like it's taking forever. By the way, I'm a farm worker for a rich merchant with a gothic mansion-like house. It's quite a distance from the fields and the cottage, but it's clearly visible from here. I haven't met the owner either because it seems like the workers are scheduled to work at certain hours. I just followed along when my colleague said that the fields were ready to be fertilized. Now I'm just watching the man tirelessly working, since I came, he hasn't even sat down or had a drink of water. He was tall and strong looking, though. "Leon, take
Chances to Another Life 132. The Wealthy Neighborhood
House—I mean, Mr. Josse's mansion was only two houses away from Mr. Jaden's residence. My guess must be correct that the countryside here is filled with wealthy landlords who own mansions and thousands of acres of land. If the countryside is like this, I wonder how life is in the city? Or are there narrow slum alleys like where I used to live. I parked the brown stallion pulling Mr. Josse's cart of ordered goods. I then ducked in front of his towering fence, trying to find the bell because there was no way I could just yell 'package'. Besides being rude, I'd only get a sore throat from it. Soon the gate was opened by two men dressed as servants. "Please take it directly to the back kitchen," one of them said. I pulled the horse's reins and entered the enormous courtyard, filled with well-decorated weeds, not to mention bonsai that I'm sure would be worth hundreds of dollars if sold. However, those bonsai seemed to be just yard ornaments that had no value here. I shook my head in a
