Although it had been quite a while since he had come to Isekai, Light still felt like he was in a dream and unbelievable.
Actually, life, as it was, was like a dream.
Whether in reality or a dream, it was just a personal experience, basically no difference.
As written in the litrpg story, he was reborn and came to this different world. At that moment, he got lost in a deep deserted forest where the trees were terribly tall, and the surroundings were full of weeds.
Looking over the surroundings, he was sure that he was definitely not on the earth of his previous life. Because there would never be a creature like the saber-toothed tiger there. Well, fortunately, he had mastered some of the Sharingan skills when he encountered this kind of beast.
In fact, the Sharingan ability was not from his cultivation - and of course, he had no idea how to cultivate at all.
He's not sure why his own muscles seemed to have memories of fighting in an emergency.
His body was practiced at reacting quickly in the face of danger and casting the right jutsu to deal with the problems involved as if thoroughly tempered already. The big cat had lost its breath before he had figured it out.
That wasn't a big deal, though.
It was surprising to him that he possessed the Sharingan that appeared unexpectedly. Its ability was exactly the same as the one in the cartoon, the last life.
Generally speaking, most people would go extremely crazy after obtaining such a powerful force. After all, this kind of ability that surpassed humans was not always the case. Still, it was a bit hard for him to be excited in such a situation.
He would rather forgo rebirth if possible and return to his old, ordinary life instead of worrying about his own safety all the time like now.
Luckily, he had previous experience of jungle adventure. Otherwise, other ordinary people, even with so powerful Ninjutsu and Sharingan to keep themselves safe, maybe have died of food poisoning.
He began to set out on his way out of the wilderness after making sure he had passed through and reborn into an unknown body over and over again.
It was not funny if someone really goes through the reality described in manga or anime; the brainless plots only occurred in mind or clichés.
But right now, it was true.
Lots of attacks from various monsters came to visit him on his way to the edge of the forest. Light dodged constrainedly and got out of trouble resulted from the formidable dynamic visual acuity of Sharingan every time.
The large herds of wolves could utilize magic, the monstrous, strange bird roosted off the branch, a dozen meters long python, a giant centipede, etc. After the initial shock, he gradually lost the novelty. Still, he just wanted to get out of the endless forest as soon as possible.
While on the run, he learned about his own abilities and became familiar with his physical limits. He had to run away from some monster he encountered; other weaker monsters, he could deal with them. The other weaker monsters, he could kill hard. The lowest that batch, he would like to choose them as his delicious supper.
As time went by, fewer and fewer monsters around to keep him swamping with the fight.
He knew exactly this was a very good sign that he had reached the edge of the forest and was right in his judgment.
A certain day, a voice came suddenly out of the deeper in the forest and interrupted his hunt just as he was about to raid a pheasant with interest. Not only did it not make him hate the loss of his delicacy, but he was also delighted.
Someone at the very least!
*************************************************
"Miss lady! Let's just go back and there's nothing interesting here."
A conscientious, loyal maid was persuading the lady who stood in front of her and had heavy gold hair.
Alice had golden hair, a beautiful face, and shining eyes that everyone admired jealously. Today she managed to sneak out again, only to be followed by her personal servant girl.
A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
With two lovely ball-like chignons on her head, the little maidservant was looking at her in a panic and trying to pull Alice back incessantly.
"Stop chattering, please, or I'll send you home."
Alice was very excited, but the only discordant factor was that she had been urged by Aika to hurry home.
Born into the aristocracy, Alice had a lively personality and always been an adventurous girl.
She was lucky to be born in such a border town; otherwise, she would be boring to die.
She was inquisitive about the mysterious Death Forest, which was next to Tangie City and extremely unfathomable and full of many immemorial legends. She had dreamed of conquering the forest since childhood, but at the same time, she's not stupid. Over the years, myths and facts had proved that this forest was unimaginably dangerous. That made her clear that her strength only allowed her to have fun at the fringe of the forest.
As she grew older, her magical power and strength grew exponentially, giving her a solid desire to peer into the middle area closer to the core.
The timid maidservant's teeth were chattering with fear, and she trembled, "Don't go forward, please. It's the middle area!" She almost cried due to fear of the unknown.
Confident Alice wouldn't miss the chance this time, thanks to her lucky triumphant escape. She pulled Aika and ran in the direction of the center as the poor girl on the back calling for mom.
What could be expected or accepted was encountering the monsters like winter wolves. Still, they had hung out for a while in safety unexpectedly.
"It's a bit more tedious than I thought."
Grumbling for a moment, Alice was about to go home with Aika. Whereas she noticed the cute girl's eyes were fixed on the direction with a ghastly face. She bent her gaze in that direction and then observed a black bear about five meters high, staring at themselves from a distance and creeping along slowly.
Alice's heart sank totally at this moment.
Which monster they could see was Earth Bear that should be active in the core area, not an existence that she could cope with right now. Even if he was called the once-in-a-century genius, everyone had their own limits.
If the Earth Bear came near, the prodigy like her was going to fall as if the comet disappeared.
"Aika, I'll cast magic to stop this monster, you run first!"
Alice picked up her spell rod before whispering a short chant blurring into a sequence of gestures. She was about to cast fire magic — it was her best magic and the most powerful.
Instantly, a fireball about five meters in diameter appeared in front of her and shot toward the bear in the distance, with a yell burst from her throat.
"Boom!"
The scorching fireball slammed into the bear's head and exploded like a bomb; the black bear was drowned in thick flames.
Instead of wasting any time on confirming the extent of her attack, Alice quickly turned and ran away, but only to see Aika sticking on the spot with her expression frozen in the same way as before.
"Oh my goodness! I should have known better."
Aika was just stupid with terror at the moment.
Alice stepped forward and slapped Aika straightway, dragging her out of the shock.
Aika, who was woken by her owner, noticed that Earth Bear crawled slowly out of the flames without any wound, crying again with the yip.
"Has no time! Hurry up!"
Grasping her hands, Alice sprinted as fast as she could, regardless of whether Aika could keep following. Before they had escaped, a hard clay wall suddenly rose in front of them, blocking their vital exit.
This was the worst terrible situation — this Earth Bear was capable of the magic!
"All is done!"
Alice knew that if nothing went wrong, a supernova would fall on the continent of Atlantis today.
As the bear slowly stepped out of the flames, its hard skin shone and showed almost no signs of the charred furs, which was why it didn't dodge -- it didn't have to at all.
"Fireball!"
Alice, who was into utter despair, cast the fire magic again to slash at the bear, which was no effect other than setting nearby branches and weeds on fire.
"Miss lady, you go first! I heard that Earth Bear wouldn't be offensive if it's full."
Although the little servant girl had no ability of magic, the words she said were not wrong.
In the forest, two people met a bear, generally speaking, what they could only try is to be faster than each other if they wanted to survive.
Alice tightened her eyebrows at what she heard, trying to escape from this hopeless situation with Aika desperately. But when they were about to rush out every time, they were blocked by the earthy magic by Earth Bear.
"Leave me alone, Miss! It's not hard for you to flee on your own!"
Aika cried and begged Alice to let go of her.
Two girls grew up together; they were like sisters more than master and servant. The way that Aika requested was tantamount to kill herself; no way did Alice do this!
Earth Bear seemed in no hurry to kill its prey, even though it's perfectly capable of doing so. The only reason why they were kept alive until now was that they hadn't met a human for a long time.
It wanted to tease them to death, just for fun.
Tap, tap, tap …
The footsteps of death approached them. Aika was so scared to sit on the ground, refusing to get up despite Alice's efforts unconsciously.
The black bear in the massive frame came slowly towards them and soon paused at front. It rose to its full height, nearly eight meters high, blocking out the sun and throwing shadows over both of them in despair.
It had a jocose, humanoid expression, which seemingly said, "Run! Run! Try it as your best! Why not try it again?"
There was absolutely no way to run away; Alice got it. The truth was explicit in its face.
What had happened just was a cat-and-mouse game.
She was desperate at the moment.
At this juncture of crisis, a sharp, piercing sound suddenly popped behind the bear. Before it could turn around, a bolt of the lighting had stabbed the left side of its chest in the front. The Earth Bear, whose heart was shattered, tardily fell to the ground before it could look back at the enemy who killed itself, throwing only a cloud of dust at the end.
A slender man with black hair and red eyes, his whole left arm smeared with blood, stamped on top of the bear, looking down at the girls from on high.
"Are you both okay?"
This was the first sentence he said to mankind after befalling Isekai.
