Chances to Another Life 37. Let's Go to the Battlefield!
I was used to exploring forests during my month-long career as a hunter in this world. However, I had just realized that the forests I had been in were nothing compared to what I was experiencing now. Brisia, the officer, led us with deft steps. There was only the sound of breathing that accompanied us all the time. Sometimes I had to walk with my head down or crouch when the officer instructed us to do so. Several times we were told to stay where we were and keep our weapons at the ready. I heard nothing but my own breathing, even the sound of my footsteps on the leaves was kept to a minimum. This forest was relatively the same as any other, with trees floating high in the air. I even found them difficult to climb, as the branches were too far for the average height of the soldiers to reach. The interlocking rocks made the path even steeper. A large boulder blocked the way, so we had to climb over it, making sure our grip was strong enough to avoid an embarrassing fall. Then a ge
Chances to Another Life 38. I Fought With the Rebel Ghost
Reportedly, a 27-year-old man ended his own life by hanging himself in a secluded, abandoned garden near X's apartment. The man was known to be a loner, unfriendly, and rarely left the house. He also had no close friends or relatives to contact. His co-workers said they were not close to him either, except through work. The footage then cut to a beautiful woman crying bitterly, accompanied by her husband. She said the man was her best friend since childhood, a good person. The woman regretted not knowing that he was severely depressed, and she regretted that she hadn't heard from him since he got married and moved abroad. It was discovered that the man was taking sleeping pills and antidepressants without a doctor's prescription, and the drugs were even purchased on an illegal marketplace. It was later concluded that the man was depressed based on notes in his book that he had given up on life. The man was buried in a public cemetery with only a few colleagues and friends in atte
Chances to Another Life 39. I Confided in the Rebel Ghosts
I was once accidentally buried in the ground while training in the barracks, and that was only a week ago. Now I was buried again, this time voluntarily to avoid the fire. This grave was quite deep, otherwise I would have been roasted by the heat of the fire, which I could still feel even though I was quite far from the ground. The crackling of the trees was deafening, similar to twigs on a campfire, but this time I was sure the fire had burned down the remaining trees. Hendrik! I was sure he was the culprit. I also thought that there was no way he could have done this just to kill me, he must have wanted to threaten the military with all of this. That's the most plausible motive I can think of. Then I started to worry about Delilah. She was strong and agile, but I couldn't even estimate Hendrik's strength. There's a chance that he knows Delilah's true identity as the Windvire Clan. I have to get out of here and save her. But I won't be able to do anything until the flames are ex
Chances to Another Life 40. Rebel Ghosts Who Are Kind
It seemed like a long time had passed in the cemetery. Occasionally, I would get up and try to listen to the crackling of the fire that was still burning, or feel the ground that still felt hot. Fortunately, the rebellious ghosts were generous and didn't suddenly show signs of manipulating me. Instead, we chatted about Daisy's doomed romance or Rose's constant rejection of the men in her life. Rose, Jasmine and Daisy were sisters who died 400 years ago as a result of royal persecution. Their home was destroyed and they were taken to the dungeon to be rounded up and slaughtered by the soldiers after a few months of living like prisoners. Therefore, they held a grudge against the noble family, especially the royal family. Meanwhile, Adam was a commoner who lived in the countryside and died of an incurable disease 80 years ago. According to him, he attacked the soldiers because he was just following along. He had no grudge against anyone, but he also had to carry out the orders of th
Chances to Another Life 41. I Was Put On Trial By The Higher-ups
I missed Kimberly, who always treated me when I was injured. The male paramedic who treated me wore a sour face as he treated my burns with running water and antiseptic. In the end, he wrapped bandages around both my arms so roughly that I couldn't help but scream in pain. I wanted to protest, but I also tried to understand the workload of a medic in a conflict I didn't know would end. He must have treated soldiers thousands of times and felt no need to entertain people who were in pain and on the verge of death. Then there was the surveillance and the eagle eyes of the officers who seemed to be watching our every move. I didn't know if the officer was so concerned or if he had other intentions for me. Judging by his piercing stare, the first option was definitely not the reason. The officer was Sand Wittel. The one who was about to exterminate the three rebel ghost sisters, who had luckily escaped when the explosives and the amount of water flooded the tomb. I felt a little guil
Chances to Another Life 42. My Dear Friend
It was very uncomfortable to be stared at suspiciously by seven high-ranking military officers, as if my every word would be twisted and they would accuse me just because I was a lowly soldier. On the other hand, I'd never seen or known any of these people except for Cedric, Rasen, and that bad-hearted Hendrik. How could they look at me with such judgment? "There has never been a soldier who escaped the rebel ghosts once they were captured. Even if they return, they'll come back mad," said Officer Sand. He must have been the most suspicious because he was the one who caught me with the three ghost sisters. An officer who had kept his mouth shut with sleepy eyes finally spoke up. "That's right. They're ghosts that are difficult to control, especially when they're under the command of the witch who resurrected them. And it's very difficult for us to eradicate this troublesome clan," he said, then gave Officer Regal a look. "Not only are these witches highly skilled, but they are als
Chances to Another Life 43. I Fought With These Brats, Again
I didn't have any weapons with me, I left my dagger in the medics' room earlier. This meant that I had to fight these crazy people with my bare hands. "This is the plan you guys and Hendrik have prepared for us? How stupid, huh," I said and pointed at them. Max grinned. "I don't think I've ever fought you before, you've always been dying when I attacked you. This time I won't let you live, especially since you already know our intentions!" he said. "How arrogant, Mr. Velman. Let's see who gets beaten up!" Delilah let out a stifled exclamation, a look of emotion on her face, and I was grateful for it. I was sure I hadn't done anything, though, when I felt my body being pushed forward. Then, without warning, Delilah and I were pulled by an invisible hand. The rocks and roots that came out scraped my body and my hair felt like it was going to fall out of my scalp. I couldn't see who was doing it! Really! It felt like I was being slammed into the ground so hard that my bones cracked
Chances to Another Life 44. We Were Saved By Someone Important
I was skeptical that someone of the Prime Minister's stature wouldn't have a personal medic, but Elliot tended to our wounds alone, without help from anyone else. "It's cracked." He muttered as he grabbed my left hand, then looked at the box of medical fluid and turned to me. "I don't have a cast," he said. Delilah then showed me her arm, she had a bandage on her temple with a bruised face. "Can you put my cast on him?" she asked. I quickly refused, my eyes as sharp as they could be. "Don't be absurd, you just got hurt this afternoon," I said. "It's nothing to worry about, after I drink the mandrake extract it will heal itself," I continued to Elliot. "You don't seem to feel any pain, do you?" he said as he treated my head that had been sucked into a tree. It hurt, but it was unremarkable. I can still take it well without screaming when I am given antiseptic. Besides, I was more surprised that I would meet Elliot, by chance anyway! After we fell down earlier, he took us to his
