Chapter Text

It was a normal day as he scroll the screen of his phone while walking through the street, checking if his favourite novel has been updated yet, to his disappointment, it has not.

Letting out a sigh before placing his phone into the pocket of his pants, he stop at a crosswalk as he wait for the light to turn green and wonder what it would be like to live inside the said novel.

He is sure he would not survive even a day there, with his terrible memory and his lack of will to live, he probably would let himself get killed as he will be either to scared to move or speak or just give up right then and there.

He quickly get on the crosswalk as the light turned green until his phone start buzzing in his pocket as he reach the middle of the crosswalk—

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

When he opens his eyes, the first thing he expects to see is the tall modern building in the city he lives in, not a bright blue sky. It takes him a few seconds to realise that he was not in the city anymore, he quickly gets up and looks around his surroundings.

"What the fuck" around him was surrounded by trees, he was currently standing on a flower bed and it seems like where he was standing is the only spot that the sun shine through because he can only see darkness when he stare past the trees.

Without thinking twice he slap himself hard on the face and wince from the pain, well it seems like he is not dreaming.

He doesn't know whether he should panic or not.

He looks down and notices that this wasn't his body, his skin was a little bit darker and more soft looking, his hair was the same color as his original hair and definitely a bit more longer than he prefers but he can deal with it later.

Currently he is wearing a grey dirty shirt and short brown pants, god knows where his shoes go because he is barefeet right now.

Taking a deep breath, he tried to remember what he did last, he was pretty sure that he was crossing the street right after chec-...

Did he transmigrate into the novel? There's no way right? But then a bright floating blue screen appeared in front of him. It looked like there was something written on it.

He took a closer look to read what was written on it.

[ Hello! You must be confused why you were here right? Simple, i heard your thought about what would it felt to live inside the novel you read and.. ]

The boy didn't need to finish reading what was written on the screen to figure out what was going on, he could feel his soul slowly leaving him as he stared at the screen "Send me back" he said.

The screen flickered for a bit as something new was written on it.
[ I can't ]

"Wha- what do you mean you can't?" he asked.

[ Well.. Your previous world has been destroyed once you were transmigrated here ]

The boy can only stare at the screen in silence, he opens his mouth to say something but closes it back as he feels his will to live, give him a double middle finger and fly away.

He slowly sat back down on the ground, trying to process all the information he just got.

He let out a sigh after a while and looked back at the screen "Has kim rok soo transmigrated here?" the screen flickered for quite a while before it replied to his question.

[ No, he will be transmigrated into cale henituse body tomorrow ]

"I see.." He said and looked at the body he is currently in "Whose body is this?" he asks, there's no mention of another boy so far in the novel so the owner of this body is probably a character that exists as a background character.

[ He's a slave that barely escape from the slave trader house alive, the place where you were sitting right now is the place where he dies ]

That turns dark real quick, well at least the owner of this body is in a peaceful place. May he be reborn into a happier life than this one. He still had many questions but he should get out of this place first before it gets dark.

Slowly standing up, he watches as the blue screen disappears before he starts walking into the forest.

Now, he wasn't good with direction and he can barely see anything because of the tree's leaf blocking the light which honestly just makes it worse for him.

The screen appears again with an arrow symbol pointing to his left, the boy stops for a bit, thinking whether he should follow the direction the screen is telling him 'It's not like i have any other option' he thought and sighs before walking to where the screen is telling him.

The screen follows him by his side and starts flickering again.

“ You were handling the situation better than I expected, I thought you would start crying knowing you can not return to your world ”

"That's because the realisation hasn't sunk in fully, who knows, i might be having a panic attack in the middle of walking" he joked, the walk was quite nice, just the sound of his feet stepping on dried leaf and bird chirping from a far. "So what are you? A god?"

“ You could say that but gods and me are a different entity, in fact i am much better than gods ”

Yeah he can feel that he is not going to like this.. things.. in the future "What do i call you then?" he asked.

“ Echo ”

The screen disappears as he can see the light which he assumes is outside of the forest not far from where he is, he sighs in relief, knowing that he is close to getting out of this dark forest.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

By the time he was out of the forest, the sky had turned into a beautiful shade of orange 'Shit, have I been walking in the forest that long?' It looks like it will turn to night soon.

He looked around and saw a lot of buildings which he guessed is part of the henituse territory from the looks of it.

He silently thanked the god for not letting the previous owner of this body die far away from this place.

Listen, what he said might be a bit.. bad, but if he wants to live, he needs to go to the henituse territory.

Now that he is here he just needs to find a place to stay for a bit, he can't go to the inn obviously so the only place he can go is the slums.

The slums.. wasn't as bad as he expected? The place was quite nice, though he can feel people staring at him as he walks through the alley, it would be a lie if he said he wasn't uncomfortable by it.

Looking around he found a nice spot to sit and where people wouldn't see him, he slowly sat down and rubbed his cold hand, the sky was slowly turning dark and the air felt cold against his skin.

"..Holy shit i'm inside a novel" he suddenly said and stared at his hands "Holy shit.. I am in someone's dead body!?" luckily there was no one around to hear him saying that.

“ Ah have you come to the realisation? ”

"What the fuck" his world is destroyed and he had absolutely no place to live nor money at all, he's going to die before the war even start.

“ Calm down, you're not going to die.. Well unless Arm or slave trader catch you ”

'IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MAKE ME FEEL BETTER!?' The boy glared at the blue screen.

“ Don't look at me like that, I'm just trying to help ”

The blue screen flickered as another blank blue screen appeared beside it.

“ Now that you have calm down, let me show your LVL ”

"What's that?" He looked at the blue screen, confused.

“ You'll see ”

The blank screen suddenly flickers and starts showing him what looks like those game bio stats he plays back on his world.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

LVL
｛ Name: Nova Molan｝
｛ Age: 15 ｝
｛ Species: Half Dark Elf ｝
｛ Stamina LV: 20 ｝
｛ Strength LV: 17 ｝
｛ Stealth LV: 20 ｝
｛ Agility LV: 18 ｝
｛ Mana LV: Unknown ｝

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

He can feel color draining from his face as he sees the word Molan in there. The fact that the owner of this body is a half dark elf and his mana level is unknown doesn't surprise him as much as the fact that he is part of Molan.

'Wasn't the Molan family annihilated years ago??' he thought, maybe this kid was part of the survivors at that time but the screen- Echo did say he was a slave so he must have got caught while running from Arms.

That was quite a surprise considering his level here.. Ah he shouldn't think about this kid's past and focus on himself instead.

"I have so many questions but i think if i ask about it, i'm gonna get more stressed by your answer" he said and watched as the stats screen disappeared.

He closes his eyes and starts to think about what to do. He could just stay here and look for a job and live his life here forever, or he could go try to live with Cale.. He made his choice once Cale transmigrated here. Ah he can feel himself falling asleep.

"Sleep now, you got an adventure ahead of you tomorrow"

He heard a faint of a man's voice, but he was already dozing off before he could even look to see who is the owner of the voice.

"Young master?" The old butler called as he watch the red haired boy who's currently looking out of the window toward the night sky, the boy didn't respond and as the butler was about to call him again, the boy turned around to face him.

With puffy, red eyes that is still glistening with tears, the boy spoke "Ron.." A bead of tear slid down from his eyes to his cheeks "Let's run away from here".

The butler simply just stare at the boy for a minute, as if he was currently caught up in a thought before nodding "Alright, young master" He said before turning away to pack the boy stuff and h̶i̶s̶ a̶n̶d̶ h̶i̶s̶ s̶o̶n̶, leaving the red haired boy to stare back out the window.

The morning sky at the henituse territory is quite beautiful to look at, you can see the sun rising up from the dawn and hear the birds chirping, plus the cold wind that just makes the experience better..

If we ignore the fact that the butler of the infamous trash of the western continent is currently holding a dagger onto someone's neck.

"Who are you and why are you stalking the young master?" the butler asks, adding more pressure to the dagger but not enough to draw blood, the person slightly winces at the action, they look around, as if they were finding a way to escape the situation.

They can feel the butler staring at them, it doesn't help that they can feel the murderous aura from him which is getting stronger the longer they stay silent.

"I.. just want to repay him for the medicine.." The person slowly spoke, their voice sounded quite young and hoarse to which the butler guessed from sickness since they said that his young master had given him a treatment.

The person slightly flinched as the butler removed the dagger from their neck. They were thankful that they were wearing robes to cover themselves so they didn't need to see what kind of expression the butler was making.
