Chapter 2

While looking at my face which is reflected on the katana that I hold on my right hand, I can only say one word.

[Plain.]

What is this face!? It’s too plain! My whole face seems to be shaped as an oval while my cheekbone is slightly covered by fat.It’s basically an immature face. I probably need to evaluate my age again, maybe 16? Or 17? I’m not sure, but looking at my body I think I can pass as an 18 years old boy.

[Oh well, it can’t be helped, everyone has their own luck after all.]

Looking at my face again, I can see the ruby-colored eyes that I have. It’s gave a bit menacing aura with my face. It can be said that’s the only quality that I probably has. With my disheveled maroon hair, I kinda give out a slightly dangerous aura.

[This is the first time I saw my own face, does the me before this has a problem of communicating with people? I really hope I don’t.]

After confirming my own appearance, I started playing with the katana that I hold. I don’t know why does the “katana” word suddenly appeared in my head. Interesting enough, after touching once, a peculiar knowledge seems to had entered my brain. The knowledge that I got is mostly some basic skill set. And that is where I know what is “katana”. This weapon-type origin seems to come from another world. But how did it end up here?

[This is too mysterious.]

But I don’t care about that, because I can feel it, seems…. to be made only for me. I don’t why I can say that with full-confidence even without any basis, but that just how it is. After doing some warm-up with , my body seems to be full of energy. Maybe using this guy has some effect on my body? I can’t confirm it right now anyway.

[Moving on, I have finally found a passage here.]

The passage that I mention is rather large, the passage appear to be made intentionally open for people to enter. Or rather then that, it’s like this pedestal is some kind of holy place.

[Did I…. made a big problem for myself?]

This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.

I can’t stop thinking about that, my survival instinct is screaming with [DON’T TOUCH THAT!] when I’m walking to . But it was overcome by my emotion and excitement. It’s probably easy to say that, I can’t help it. It’s my destiny to take . Something like that I guess. What’s done is done anyway.

[Anyway let’s move.]

With new determination, I set out while walking the large passage ahead of me. This time I am fully confidence with myself that I’ll get out from this cave. Why? Because I can see a small flicker of light from the the passage.

***

In an extravagant palace which situated at the centre of one of the largest kingdom, Sheakya Kingdom, there stood a middle-age man with a very large build. The man is standing at the end of a dining room table with a glass of red wine on it and a luxurious candle, flickering. The room seems to be a bit dark with some few lighting lamp which lighten up the room a bit. The face of the man is covered by the dark and only a bit of his face can be vaguely seen.

[.……………………..]

In front of him is a sheet of paper which is a form of report given by a man standing besides of him. Wearing a full black coat, with white glove, he is a butler who serves the middle-age man.

[ Is this legit? ]

After a few moments of silence, the middle-age man finally said some words, directing it towards the butler who standing besides of him.

[ Yes your Majesty, it could be said that the report itself is written by the Saint himself. ]

[.……………………….]

Even with the dark covering the room, the butler can see the complicated expression that is made by the middle-age man because of the candle that flicker on the dining table.

[.………Is that so.]

With only a simple sentence that come from the middle-age man, the pressure from his body increased to the point that the candle sitting on the dining table to flicker with more energy.

[.]

In an instant the chant was said by him, the sheet of paper from his hand immediately become ashes.

[It seems the summoning need to be done earlier. It can’t be help. ]

With a bit of of killing intent that has appear around the middle-age man, the butler who seemingly used to this kind of pressure gives a reply to him without any change of emotion.

[It is as you said your Majesty, other kingdoms would also start the summoning ritual soon. We should also not deliberately slow down the process.]

[It seems so, we will start the ritual by tomorrow, for now go make the necessary arrangement.]

[As you wish, your Majesty.]

The butler reply to the middle-age man while bowing his head showing the respect that he held for the man in front of him.

The Hero King, Arthur.

***

After walking in this straight passage, I finally found the end of it. Light from the entrance start to blind my eye with every step I take. I covered my face with my hand intending to block the light from hurting my eyes. After reaching the entrance, I can feel it, the hot temperature which I didn’t feel in the cave. My body starts to warm up, feeling very refreshed, I finally get out from that cave.

[.……….What a sight.]

The scenery that stands in front of me is a lush green forest which is full of nature. I can see the birds which flew around the trees while chirping, appearing like they are playing around. The smell of the nature slowly relaxing my body, but even with that, I can’t help myself to be dumbfounded by the scene in front of me.

[How…..do I got down from here….]

At the moment I am standing at the edge of a cliff, while the forest that I’m currently watching is actually below the cliff with the height that I can’t even measure properly.

[Hum~ Hum~ Hum~]

A young girl who walking happily and randomly tip-toeing while humming a happy song could be seen in the white space. At the moment she is just running around in circle while humming, clearly waiting for something.

[Hum~ Hum~ Hum~]

Beneath the girl is a magic circle with many kind of symbols and runes. While running around the magic circle, her feet is glowing with crimson light following the pattern of the magic circle. Slowly but surely, the crimson glow will cover the whole magic circle.
