-Thud! -Thud! -Thud!
While I walking through the dungeon's corridor, I came across some familiar face inside one of the cell.
"You awake?" I said to the man that, sitting alone on the metal bed on the side of the cell. He took a side glance at me before letting out a long sigh in annoyance.
"What do you want, brat?"
"Just want to talk.... Jack."
He finally looked at me after hearing that, as he stared at my eyes deeply, saying "Say it." while furrowing his brows.
With my other arm crossed, I supported my chin, and smiled as a reply.
"I want you to join my..."

"Seriously...." Staring right at me, his expression looked annoyed while he was saying that.
To which I replied, "Yes." as an affirmative to his question.
I have my own reasons why I wanted
It was still night when the three of them dragged me into the forest, saying that it was all part of my training.King Adam didn't let Persia come along because there's a possibility that things might get dangerous, so only William, Ryan and him was with me.After reaching our destination, the trio tied my whole body on the thickest tree they could find, which was on top of the huge mountain that was also far away from the palace. They also took the bracelet artifact from my wrist, and opened up a portal.After all of them went inside the portal except for me who was left behind, Adam finally opened his mouth, saying, "The air in Duranda Mountain is thin. There is also some dangerous monster living inside this place so if I were you, I might as well go on the move immediately after you got out from the rope." Before turning around."Wait!!" I tried to struggle free from the rope, but I failed because
"Huuuaaa...." Stretching my arms up, I stood up from my bed and quickly went inside the bathroom. After I finished taking a shower, I began brushing my teeth while looking at my reflection on the mirror. Spewing the water out of my mouth, I then got out from the bathroom and put some proper clothes before leaving my room. After making sure that everything else is good, I closed the door to my room and went to ahead to the dining area. While I was walking around the palace's hallway, I came across Mason along the way. As soon as he noticed me coming, he looked at me as if surprised from seeing me. "Oh it's just you, sir Athan. I didn't expect you to still be here." Mason said, with no intention of hiding his surprised expression. "Well, his Majesty, the King, wanted me to stay here for just a couple of years, waiting until I turn 12 to join the academy.... While also training with him." "I see... There is something I would like to say to you, sir Athan. And It is about my sister,
With my fingertips under my chin, I continued to ponder about what happened earlier."Just what the hell is that man talking about...?"The more I thought about it, the more question began to appear inside my head, trying it's best to think of the best explanation about earlier.It's making my head spin..."Admin..."Suddenly, a man from the vision overlapped his face inside my mind. It was from one of the memories I've seen a few days ago.Currently, the [synchronizing memories] is still at 0.957. It was still nearing 1 percent at most even though it's been three years since it appeared.I glanced down on the key from my hands for a moment, then tilted my head toward sky before sighing deeply.Just who is he...? I inwardly thought inside my mind. Although the man looks really familiar, I still couldn't grasp th
..............."It's okay, I can do this!"A girl who looked to be at the age of 10, said to herself while looking at her reflection with determination."I remember how big brother cut it before.... Here goes nothing."Lightly raising the scissors over her head, she swallowed little saliva from her mouth after cutting the bangs covering her face.A few minutes later...."A.... I cut it...." While looking at the mirror, she looked at herself, dejected. "Too short..." Saying that, the scissors from her hands fell off, hitting the ground, at the same time, as the cried could be heard."Waaaa!!"The moment her loud cry echoed through the other room, a boy at the same age as her, came running with a panicked expression."⬜?! What's wrong?!"
Somewhere at the palace, a party was being held by the King because of a certain someone finally turned 12. Then, a young man who seemed to be around this age, walked up front.In front of him was a slender girl...? That he was taking a liking.He was looking at the girl with overconfident, not even paying attention to the people who was looking at their direction in his surroundings."Are you alone, Young Miss?" The boy asked, smiling as he continued to stare at her back.The girl noticed his presence as she began surveying her surroundings. "Are you perhaps talking to me?" She tilted her head in confusion.Looking at the girl with a smug expression, the boy replied, "Who else could I talk to instead of a pretty girl like you?" As he reached his hand to the girl's chin.But....Frowning, the girl smacked his hands off, as she stared at the young man in annoyance. "I'm a guy."Silence....After saying that, the boy became silent. Letting out a fake cough, he forced a smile on his fa
*Snip! Snip! Snip!* After I finished cutting my hair short, I immediately went to the bathroom to wash and remove the hair left from my body. Shiiiiii- Taking a step forward to the shower and turning on the shower by halve, water soon dropping towards my body. Taking a shampoo that was resting to the right side of the shower room, I began washing my hair. After I finished, I took the towel on the right side that was hanging in the room. Tying the towel onto my waist, droplets of water trickled down to my fairly young body, as I soon exited the shower. Walking out of the bathroom, I truffled my hair using the towel beside the mirror and soon changed on comfortable clothes. "Today's the day..." I said to myself. Placing my fingers to my cheeks, I began practicing my outward smile while looking at the mirror. But the moment I did this, I saw that my face changed into something scary. ".... I really can't smile with this face." Since the original Athan from the novel is a villa
It's was a strange feeling being more nervous now, enrolling to the academy, more than the first time I got my reward from my past life. "Where here." "Finally~" William responded with excitement spreading over him. After both of us stepped out of the carriage, I inhaled deeply and exhaled slowly, trying to relax myself. "Let's go. Let's go-!!" Right where William was about to take the step forward to the street, I pulled him by his collar and went to the nearest stand. William protested as he struggled his body, trying to free himself from my strong grip when suddenly, his clothes began to reap apart. -Reeeeek! "-!?" The moment he noticed it, he stopped struggling and began walking beside me while looking at me with his teary eyes. "Stop being overdramatic." I said, patting him on the shoulders. "Stay here or else, I'll leave you behind. I'll just go buy something quickly." I turned around to leave after I said that. "Hey, wait! Where are going? We just got here and you're
With her wand aiming at me, the elf woman greeted her teeth and asked. "Who are you?"Which I replied, "Oh for fuck sake, what's wrong with you people? Is this how you guys welcome me?"After a few seconds, she dropped her wand as she began observing my every move. I don't know why, but it somehow gives me the creeps."Kuemm kuemm.... Sorry about that. I just panicked a little. Nothing more." The principal turned her head aside. Though, I'm sure that she was still on her guards."...." Silence....It went silence for a couple of minutes before she started talking once again."Anyways, I'll start now." Said the Principal. With her hands touching the table, she sat down and stared directly at my eyes. "I Welcome to the Aspirant Academy."*After a few minutes, the quick discussion and welcoming has finally ended.The two of us were about to leave when Principal Eve called out to me."Athan, I still have business about something." Gesturing her fingers to the door, she continued, "As f
