Two men and a woman facing each other on top of an abandoned building. The woman and man, obviously from the same group point their gun at the lone man, while the man just nonchalantly holds his hand up.

"Mr. Hal, please cooperate with us and surrender." The woman tried to persuade the man called Mr. Hal to surrender.

"Hehe, you are funny, Mrs. Interpol" Hal flashes a smile, but doesn't intend to cooperate with them.

"Mr. Hal, you have nowhere to go now. Be obedient and surrender. At least, I can put a good word for you." She lowered his gun and persuaded him.

"Hmph..." Ha just snorted. What 'put a good word?' As if it will do anything to help reduce his sentence. But she was correct though, Hal was cornered and have nowhere to go.

Hal was an assassin. But he is not an ordinary assassin. Before he accepts any mission, he investigates the target thoroughly. After he confirmed the target was a bad egg of society, such as corrupt officials, murderers, and many other sinful characters, he moved. He never killed an innocent person.

That's why Bella was troubled. She doesn't want Hal to put in resistance and be killed by them. After many years investigating him, she understood Hal more than anyone.

They both an 'Agent of Justice'. But, Hal's method was wrong in the eyes of law, so she needs to capture him to be judged by the law.

"Bastard, why are you still laughing?" At her side, the man yelled at Hal. He looked displeased seeing Hal's nonchalant expression.

"Why? You want to see me crying and begging? Try harder then..." Hal was amused.

"Hehe, let's see if you are still laughing after seeing this photo." The man was angry and throw a few pictures at Hal's foot.

Bella and Hal frowned. Hal still maintaining his eye contact with the two of them and pick up the pictures scattered in front of him.

When Hal saw these photos, he froze. His previous nonchalant expression was gone, fury replaces it. Those photos contain an image of his only relative, his two foster parents were tortured until death.

Hal was an orphan, he grows up at the orphanage until someday, a man came to the orphanage and adopt him. He is not an ordinary man though, as soon as Hal was adopted he started his hellish training to be a capable assassin.

As someone who never felt maternal love, those two elders that take care of him was the only person he close to. He still occasionally visited the orphanage in guise and left some money.

"Prepare to die!" Hal takes out his signature kukri from inside his belt and brandished it. He pounced forward, ready to reap the man's life.

Bella, who saw Hal's obvious turmoil emotion, stepped forward and try to take him down. But soon, she felt pain from behind her neck. She turned her head in disbelief.

The man, who was startled seeing Hal's sudden attack, frantically raises his hand and shoots him. But, he then regretted it.

Those two events happened at the same time, so they each didn't have time to think about what are they doing.

"Noooo! Bella!" The man shouted in disbelief, but he saw Hal approach him quickly. He gritted his teeth and shoot him until he emptied the pistol magazine.

Hal felt his vision blurred, he can't die now. At least, he needs to kill the man in front of him before he died. But soon, he felt his consciousness left the body. He regretted that he can't take his revenge before he died.

Hal opened his mouth and shouted on top of his lung "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" He felt upset, just a little bit and he can kill that bastard. But soon, he felt something ain't right. If he died, how can he still open his mouth and shouted?

He opens his eyes and was greeted by blinding light from the sunlight. He tried I cover his face with his hand, and he tried to see from between his finger. Hal saw something that startled him.

He saw lush verdant hills as far as the eye could see, a small village stood before the river, the peasant working on the fields, clear blue sky, many caravan merchants passed the main road as he sat on the field.

A low grunt heard from beside him, he instinctively turns his head. A young woman with snow-white skin was lying by his right side. He was stunned. He recognized this young lady!

Her face resembled a younger version of Miss Inspector Bella. He tried to wake her up. The young lady opens her eyes and she was startled when she saw Hal. She widens her eyes as she said.

"Mr. Hal? Why did you become so much younger?". The young lady tried to rose up to her feet but failed as she clutches her head. She felt a stinging headache inside her head.

"Don't give me that crap! Answer me, why did you guys drag an innocent party just so you can catch me?! Why you are killing the innocent when you can't find me?!" Anger boiled inside his heart. Hal shakes Bella's body for an answer.

"Mr. Hal, wait a minute! I didn't know anything about that either! I swear on my life that I never hurt innocent people!" Being shaken by Hal, Bella quickly said.

Seeing the innocent face of Bella, Hal calmed down. He realized that his hand has shrunk so much that he didn't felt any power coming from his body anymore.

He then quickly asked Bella. "Miss Bella, are you sure that I became younger?"

"Yes! Wait a minute... My voice, why are my voice so high-pitched?" Bella then realized something ain't right.

"You too became younger as well," Hal said. They stared at each other with a dumbfounded face. On the horizon, a man wearing armor came to them.

"Young Lady! Young Lord!" The man yelled from a distance. As he approached them, he kneels and helps them rose to their feet.

"What happened?" Ha asked calmly as he scrutinizes this man wearing armor. The most striking feature of this man was a 6cm long scar hidden within his black stubble on his face.

Blond, curly hair hangs over his valiant face. Glistening blue eyes, set rooted within their sockets as he looked at two of them submissively.

"It's like this, Young Lord. As I prepared the carriage, I heard you were screaming. I thought Young Lady was in trouble, so I hastily ran here." The man answered truthfully.

Hal nodded. The first thing he noticed, when this guy called them, he instinctively shouted 'Young Lady' first rather than 'Young Lord'. So he conjectured that this man was more worried about Bella's wellbeing than Hal's.

Second, this man stood straight like a spear, but with a submissive expression as he looked at Bella. With very striking insignia on his armor, he now very sure that this man was Bella's protector. He was not sure though what's this man position in Bella's family.

Hal quickly thought of many possibilities inside his mind. He already accepted that he, along with Bella, was transported to this unknown world. But he wasn't sure if he reincarnated to the middle ages, or transmigrated to another world with the same culture.

"Could you take us to rest? I think that your Young Lady is tired." Hal said as he pointed at Bella who was still dazed. He didn't dare to say Bella's name, as he didn't know yet her name on this new world.

The man wearing armor nodded and bowed at them. He quickly ran to the carriage which parked not far from their position.

When the carriage approaches them, Hal now could see a bear and a sword insignia painted on the carriage's body, the same one as the insignia etched on that man's armor. The man wearing armor helps Hal and Bella board the carriage.

Still looking at Bella's dazed expression, Hal formulated a plan inside his head. His priority is to survive in this unknown world. And to survive this unknown world, he needs to gather information about this world as much as he can.

"Sir, may I know your story?" Hal opens the curtain in front of the carriage so he can ask the man who wears armor a question.

The man wearing armor who drives the carriage was surprised, but he quickly nodded and said "My name is Galahad. I'm 3rd Knight of the Meltor Barony. I was enlisted for 5 years on the border until I was recalled back by the family to escort Youn Lady and Young Lord to the Dhirim City at Delinard Duchy."

Hal attentively listens to Sir Galahad's story, afraid of missing anything important. So, her family name was Meltor. After he processed what he learns, he then asked. "Sir Galahad, what is it like on the border?"

Sir Galahad didn't suspect anything because it's normal for boys curious about the front line. Sir Galahad said "I was tasked to defend Reindi Fort at that time, as I enlisted in Count Clais army. It was intense, and I clearly remember each time the Fort was besieged. Reindi Fort was besieged 6 times by the Rhodok Army in 5 years I was there. I nearly lost my life there. See this scar? I got it from a stray crossbow bolt when I was battling with Rhodok Sergeant. Then ..."

Sir Galahad went on and on with his story. Sometimes, he brags about his success capturing enemy lord. The more Hal listens to his story, the more chaotic his mind was. He realized that he currently living in Calradia Continent!
