On the slightest consciousness, he has. He opened his eyes slowly only to be covered by a black shadow from the warm embrace of his mother. Once his consciousness was aroused. He could feel all of the bone and muscle tissues in his body screaming in pain, after the collision that happened to them.
The shadow began to move, separating itself from the boy and the boy's eyes opened wide after witnessing the figure of his mother with a single pole as thick as his hand plunged on her left chest.However, the woman kept her smile in her mouth seeing her darling child was safe. With her trembling finger, she reached the young boy's cheek caressing it delicately before opening her mouth, with a hoarse voice she began to talk to her son.“..I. am.. glad. Khuk.. cough, cough”.Blood began to clog her mouth and her voice was cut off.“.MOM!”.The boy was alarmed as he tried to seek help from his father in front only to find his condition was worse than his mother's. His body was crushed by the body car and his physique was deformed into a gruesome state because of a dozen pieces of steel that minced his body.The boy's stomach began to churn as the food that he consumed in the morning began to creep up in his throat. A warm touch from his cheeks prevented it as his head was yanked to face his dying mother once more.“Tsu, ha,, Listen, Ren, there will be a rough path ahead of you. But Your mother and father believed that you will prevail and manage to overcome it, cough, cough..”.“Mom..”.The boy's sight began to turn blurry as the misty tear in the corner of his eyes began to flow on his cheeks.“..So, Live stand strong, and never give up. If you can’t handle it yourself, seek others for help. Don't try to shoulder everything alone, Hehe, it's tiring you know..”.“No, Mom. No please, don't leave me”.Ren began to weep himself as he tried to reach the mother before him. But his mother was the first one to embrace him trying to calm down his crying son. Caressing his head with her trembling hands mustering the last strength she had to open her mouth, trying to say her last wish.“..It's okay, Ren. Everything will be okay. Thanks for coming to our life, and I am sorry, for not being there with you. I..am ..sorry..”.His mother's limbs began to drop down, and her body slowly began to turn cold in his embrace.“No Mom uwaaaah,, Mom please help somebody, help my mom”.Those fleeting memories began to fade away as the consciousness that stood comfort in the dark aroused and awoke the eyes of a certain young man.The young man in question raised his upper body that had been laid on the hard floor in a certain place in the corner of the dukedom. He felt that his sight was blurry as the wet sensation in his cheek raised his curiosity. Then, he began to touch his cheeks and found that he was crying in his sleep.“Father, mother”.It was a memory from his past life when he was still alive as a young man named Amamiya Ren. He died in an accident after rescuing a certain person from the robbery who coincidentally was holding a folding knife in hand. He got stabbed and thus the life he so much cherished because of his parent's dying wish is gone after a decade.Now in his second life, he is in the body of a young man in his late teens the same as him. He also has the same name, Ren.Ren is a born commoner and his parents were an exceptional adventurer in the past. But now they also passed away, leaving the poor boy alone.It's been one week since Ren possessed the young man's body. His appearance consisted of a handsome child with unkempt black hair and a pair of strong will eyed with black pupils. His body was skinny because of the harsh life he was living after his last family left him.In the narrow hut that was made from the decaying wood, he found. A growl echoed in the room as he began to rub it to calm it down. He felt the hunger eating his mind but couldn't do anything about it as he didn't have a single penny in his possession. So he stood up and visited a place where he could satiate his hunger.As Ren walked outside of the almost collapsed hut. In this impoverished neighborhood, the air was filled with the scent of decay and desperation. A dilapidated building that barely stands together filled his sight.After walking for a few minutes he arrived at the well that was empty because of the current situation where the other side of the place had the festive atmosphere surrounding it. The others must use this chance to do some pickpocketing for their lives.Ren threw out the bucket until he heard a splash, then pulled the rope and took the bucket outside for him to wash his face first to freshen up. He looked up and saw a couple of thugs wearing the same outfit as him. A cheap cloth filled with dirt moved suspiciously while carrying a little girl on his shoulder. It seems the girl is also unconscious in Ren's eyes.Different from his thought he turned his gaze away as if he didn’t care about what will happen to the girl in question. It was so different from his attitude in his past life. Probably because even though he had the memories in his past life, the dominant one that affected the man's attitude was the memories he had in this world.Ren again throws away the bucket inside after wiping up the dirt on his upper body. As the bucket arrived before him he scooped it into his hands and intended to take a sip of it before he could hear a clicking sound that came from behind him approaching his location.“Hey, you!”.“Excuse me, young fella!”.The distressed and impatient voice reverberated in his ear as he gulped the fresh water satiating his hunger, before turning his gaze to the three people looking at him.The party consisted of two people wearing a silver plate of armor that was covered by a big brown robe but Ren could also see underneath it they also concealed their sword at their waist. As for the other one, She was a young woman, with silver hair and fierce eyes with ruby pupils looking at him. Wearing a fancy dress that eases movement covered with a black robe.Ren roused his cautious level and opened his mouth.“..May I help you?”.The three people opened their eyes wide before the young man who stood proud before them. Then, the young woman, unperturbed, began to approach him.“Have you witnessed someone bringing a girl entered the slums?”.“...!?”.Ren raised his eyebrows as he began to nod his head.“Truly?”“Young fella, do you know where they are going?”.The young woman jerked her body forward and the man behind opened his mouth probing for more. Nodding his head, Ren began to explain what he had seen earlier.“Yes, earlier I witnessed a couple of thugs bring an unconscious girl on their back, and walk further inside. As for the place I didn't know it for sure, I am sorry”.““Tch””.The woman in the behind clicked her tongue as if she was disappointed about the finding. The man opened his mouth.“Thank you, young fella. Here, for you”.The man flicked a yellow coin in his hand; it flew in a parabola trajectory before Ren caught it in his hand, and his eyes opened wide.“Let’s go both of you”.“Yes, My Lady”.“By your will”.The three of them began to hasten their footsteps and Ren could only watch their retreating in thoughts.Unconsciously he grabs the black stone in his necklace, from his mother's keepsake.The truth is he knows the thugs that brought the girl earlier, and he knows where their whereabouts were.“From the looks of it. Those three were clearly outnumbered, but they are a trained knight. There is no possibility that they will be beaten by some thugs, but..”.An ominous feeling began to gnaw at his mind disturbing his breakfast. He sighs in annoyance.“..Should I check it?”.Ren hesitated at first but after chugging a couple of more drinks. He felt full before walking toward the inner place of the slums.Ren walked into the surroundings of the slums where the stinging scent that invaded his nose and the decaying house that could collapse with a bit of vibration filled his sight. He already got used to this place despite just reincarnating a week ago.The gaze around him that came from the gap in the house, made his skin tingle with discomfort. The people around here are not too great with the neighborhood. They only care for themselves. Harhs world he lives in.The deeper he got the scent became more apparent as he squinted his gaze trying to hold back the stinging scent that even affected his eyes.Ren saw a lone building in the innermost part of the slum area nearing the wall. That is where the thugs usually hang out. Turning his gaze to the sides, he didn't see the three parties he met earlier. Probably they are being misguided by the other lackeys of the boss gang around here.The door of the church opened and two people came out with a disgusting smile on their face. Ren was alar
The headless corpse that kept sitting on Ren's body went limp as the strength in his hands too. Ren pushed the body away as he began to raise his body. He gritted his teeth as the pain began to sting his nerves and made his face grimace.Then the knight man circled behind him putting his hand on Ren's ribs and helping him to stand up.“You okay, young fella?”.“Ha, ha,, ..Barely, ..Thanks, ouch”.“You are welcome”.The other two women began to approach and the younger one opened her mouth.“What was that commotion about?”.With her clear bell voice, she demanded an answer from Ren. Without muttering a single word he pointed his index finger at the church and at the same time the church door opened and multiple individuals came out hearing the commotion outside.The young woman tilted her head first before opening her eyes wide. Then she turned her gaze at Ren, at the church, Ren again and heard him open his mouth.“She is there”.“Are you certain, young man?”.The female knight, who k
Ren's eyes opened wide seeing the translucent window that appeared before him. It says that a quest has been acquired and needs to be cleared within twenty-four hours, and what worried him the most was the term of failure; it was an imminent death.His body hair stood to no end while shivering. Dread occupied his thoughts. The quest demanded one vile soul of a person to be sent to a Void. So he must kill one person who is deemed as vile to complete the quest that is bestowed upon him by the system.However, the thought of reaping on other lives gave the tingling in his spine and his stomach to churn, but it subsided almost instantly, as the intense memories that occupied the young man named Ren in this world replaced all of the disgust and the hesitation in his thought. He closed his eyes and the memories that he tried to avoid repeating themselves. His blood boiled upon seeing it then as he tried to imagine killing a person with the blade in his hand. Ren shook his mind as he began
As his resolve hardened. Ren began his move; he moved away from his hiding place using a small gap between the decaying house and found himself in another narrow lane that led him to a church in a roundabout way. The feeling of the hard object in his right hand tensed his body as he knew that he was going to do something horrible in his thoughts. The act of killing itself doesn't concern the mind of the young man named Ren that lives in this world but it was a different story if the mind that had control over the body now was Ren that lived in the modern world.He knows that the emotion or something that Ren experienced in this world greatly influenced his thoughts, but there is still a tiny little fear that crept out from the corner of his mind. Because this choice he made was something that cannot be retracted and will follow him until the day he dies.However, Ren grips the hilt tightly and grits his teeth while shaking his head to the side, dispersing the thought that keeps plagu
“Talentless?”.The woman perked her ear and opened her eyes wide hearing Jiha mention the boy who was holding the black blade before her eyes. She knows that term very well. As a person who lives in a high society a noble daughter possesses a huge amount of information and wealth. She squinted her eyes because of the rude remark from Jiha toward the boy. The word Talentless is considered taboo in this world because it is a sign that the person who unfortunately received it, is labeled as a person who was abandoned by God.Worried about the mental state of the boy before her. She turns her attention toward him only to find he keeps glancing at the empty air as if looking at something. “What is he doing?”. She muttered in her heart. Then she heard the boy click his tongue and spit some curses.“..Tch, looks like I have no choice then”.The boy in sight raised his fighting spirit and prepared his middle stance while gripping the black blade using his hands straight to his navel.The wo
Ren lunged forward, and as Jiha entered the range of his blade, he began his first strike with a diagonal slash from the bottom right, Jiha shifted his foot as he dodged the strike with minimal movement.However, Ren still didn't finish his attack. He kept swinging the blade trying to connect every swing he made toward another and made a fluid movement that looked like he was dancing with his blade. Jiha with his superior strength and speed kept dodging the onslaught with minimal movement, the corner of his mouth lifted as the embers in his heart began to burn more bright than ever.Then there is a gap in Ren's swing that Jiha senses. A vertical strike trying to cut open his skull began to descend at Jiha's head. The world turned gray before Jiha’s eyes and the trajectory of the blade slowed down before it was inches away from his skull. With a minimal movement he bent his upper body to the right side and using the backhand of his left fist smacked the side body of the blade, with i
The comfortable darkness that engulfed his mind began to fade. In his hazy consciousness, a melodious voice entered his ear giving solace to his entire being, slowly but surely Ren opened his eyes as the humming voice that entered his ear began to fade out and the first thing he saw upon awakening was.“Where is this?”.The unfamiliar high ceiling, a soft and comfortable bed embracing him. The warmth of sunlight light that passed through the opened window beside him roused his body up, as he heard a stunned voice beside him.“..You awake?”.Ren turned his attention and saw the little girl he knew open her eyes and lowered jaw. Then she snapped back and dashed away leaving him behind. “She was?”.He remembered that girl. She was the girl who got kidnapped by Jiha at that time. He is wondering where the hell this place is.The room feels a bit wide for a single person. The interior of the room was filled with a luxury item, the comfortable bed with a pure sheet. A four one-seater sofa
“Gratitude”.Ren turns his attention to the sack that probably contains a lot of coins by the looks of it. Without hesitation, he extended his right hand before taking the sack in his hand. The sack was pretty much light with the content inside, he wondered how much money was inside.“I am sorry. I know it was pretty rude of me to do this despite the thing you have done. But this is the only thing that appeared on my mind, so... would you accept it? “.He opened the sack and saw the glittering of big silver coins inside. He began to count the number of coins inside and there were ten of them. Ten silver coins.“Ah, It's okay. I will gratefully accept it. Thank you”.The other three look weirdly at Ren's behavior. Even after receiving his reward he still didn’t show much expression. He just closed the sack back and put it beside him unperturbed at the content inside. They wondered why the young man before them could control his emotions to such an extent.They could feel a trace of dis
The interior was divided into two sections. On the left side, Ren could see a row of open wardrobes filled with casual clothes neatly arranged, in a straight line full of color. It is also separated between genders. On the left side, there are a lot of half mannequins that show various types of leather equipment for adventuring and there are a row of cloaks in different colors hanging on their hooks lining up and asking to be picked.Ren was amazed by the second-floor interior. He swept his gaze to the left side first searching for some equipment he would need in his adventuring. “Feel free to look at them”.“Okay, thanks”.He began to enter the left room where his gaze swept around looking at the various types of leather equipment that were put on the half mannequin. He searched one by one until his eyes were drawn toward a silky black coat that had length over his knee, with its short sleeves covered until his elbows. Inside it, there is a white leather shirt that can withstand a
He wandered around the east district where there were a lot of settlements for him to stay the night, but he didn't know which one was good or affordable for him. So he will leave everything to his luck.Walking leisurely on the street while being hit by a cold wind that seeps through his pores. He saw a big building unlike the rest of them but it still retained its neighborhood feeling. The sign that hung on the corner right of the door says ‘Wandering Inn’. So after knowing what building Ren was seeing, he entered inside pushing the twin door accompanied by the ringing bell that notified the people inside the building. Once inside Ren spotted the interior was filled with a row of lined-up wooden tables and a couple of chairs surrounding it. The festive ambiance where there were a lot of people joking around while savoring their meal on the table. Ren walked past the seat before he arrived at the counter and met with a chubby woman in her early forties who reminded him of the figure
The exhilarating feeling after knowing that his level went up. His eyes went lit with fire. Then from the same direction, the rustling became more intense and a horde of goblins appeared with furious expressions on their faces, after seeing their fallen comrade.Ren ready his blade. Control his breathing to not tire him out. He counted more than ten goblins that appeared one after another from the bush, the first boglin that arrived in his blade range jumped and raised his club, asking for him to get cut open.Ren swung his sword sideways and bisected the first goblin. He took a step forward and killed the remaining goblins with a simple movement that was efficient for killing his enemy with every swing from his blade; the goblin couldn't retaliate and be annihilated in a mere dozen seconds.[You gained Exp][You gained Exp][You gained Exp]…..A bloody massacre and the vermillion color that kept fluttering in the air bathed the forest in the r
In front of him stretched a wide plain grass field. Walking on the small road created naturally by the adventurer on a regular basis, always use this road to travel toward the landscape of stretched wild trees that stood behind the plain.While walking, his mind began to wander about the things he remembered in the guild. The characteristics of the herbs and also the place they used to grow. He began to reply in his mind.The warm breeze that grazed his skin accompanied his walk as he recalled everything that had been taught to him.Ren arrives at the dark forest maw. It was a small passage and cast a huge shadow giving the place a gloomy feeling for how close the trees were growing. The tree was ten feet tall and it had thick logs and lush leaves.Ignoring the throbbing heart inside his heart, Ren began to put his first step in and enter the forest maw. The hot ray of light that permeated his skin giving him a rather sunny feeling from the sun vanished instantly and it was changed in
Like any other organization he knows of. The Adventure guild also has a bunch of rules the members need to strictly follow.First, the adventurer could take a quest that the guild had prepared, on the board at the left side of the building from the entrance. The adventurer could pick a request that one rank higher from their current rank, and if they failed the quest, the merit point and their achievement will get a minus point that will bring some difficulty for them to rank up later. Second, every quest that has been cleared. They will be rewarded by the exact amount that has been written on the parchment that the adventurer took. Because the guild has extracted some of its original amount of money for taxes, fees, etc.Third, The carcass of any material from the monster that has been slayed during the quest time could be purchased by the guild and at a proper price. The guild also will provide some dissection material for those who still couldn't dismantle the raw material of the
The receptionist woman has a beautiful figure to please the eyes of everyone who enters the place. She was wearing a uniform which consisted of a black vest and white trousers inside with short sleeves. For the lower part, she was wearing a black skirt that matched with the vest, then a pair of heels. Ren was wondering how fashion in the world had leaped by bounds when civilization was still like in the medieval era. But, he soon dismissed the thought. He didn't want to think too deeply about it so he began to open his mouth stating his business coming here.“I want to register as an Adventurer”.The receptionist looked at Ren's figure probing. Clean appearance with a plain white shirt and black long pants holding nothing, just bringing himself to the guild, and from the appearance of his face the woman thought that he was probably in his late teens. Ren didn’t know that he was being probed but he felt that the gaze from the receptionist felt uncomfortable. But, he
A night had passed since the day he received the second quest. Ren was shocked at first but when he read again the content he at least had a sigh of relief, because of the non-existence of a time limit and failure terms.Then after confirming the quest that he didn't know where to start he began to spend his day reading a book that had been lent by the maid in the palace.At first, he is struggling because it's been a long time since he read a book again after living in the slums. His mouth felt awkward at first but it gradually became better as he finished his first book about the History of the world. Ren was capable of reading because his parents were teaching him when he was little and when his father was still around. Not just reading, he also teaches about simple arithmetics. Then, he still kept reading and doing basic reading and counting until he lost his mother and lived in the slums.The content of the storybook was nothing but a myth that told him about the creation of the
