Chapter 2: Life x Friend x Game

Chapter 2: Life x Friend x Game

32 days passed by. When I was carried up, supported on the head, and my own body came into the corners of my eyes. Even though I don't know why I still had my past memories, it wasn't anything bad even if I got them.

I also tried to use a magic but I noticed that I can’t use any of my magic so my theory was this world doesn’t have any magic links or I still don’t have any magic links or this body can’t contain any magic links.

By the way, Magic Links or what we called before 【Arcana】 to my previous world 【Meftheim】 is the connection of inner strength with the outer strength to fully control the body to its full capacities and it can also call forth different elements depending what elements you can control to support you.

++++++++++++

Then we go back to the present, sometimes this lad---- no my mother sometimes carried me outside our house and no matter how I look at this, there are just too many new to my eyes. There were some buildings that are higher than the golems that I fought before in my previous life.

I observed my parents and I think that their age are probably around when I received my 1st mission being a newbie adventurer. They are clearly younger than me in my previous life. From my perspective, calling them my grandchildren wouldn’t be wrong.

I already noticed it from the beginning, but this doesn't seem to be 【Meftheim】. The language is different, and their clothes are very new to me. They even have clothes that has a face of a human, is the people here killing humans just to put them on their clothes? Well I am still not sure if that is how they really do it or it may be some kind of magic? Well that were just what I saw every time this lad--- my mother takes me to wander outside. I really have to know the language and know more information about this world.

178 days passed by from the day I was born, listening to my parents this 178 days, I started to understand things bit by bit. I also watched the people on the, I just named it “Enchanted Box” for now. Also by this time, I was able to crawl and I really loved it, I think everyone likes to be able to move by their own. I also realized that my parents are always looking at me with confused look on their faces. But when the stuff that comes from below leaks out, they always have the look saying “Thank Ina!” by the way 【Ina】, is the goddess in my past life. Do they want me to always sh*t my pants? I also noticed that my parents were always saying Jin, Jin, Jin and so I concluded that my name might be what they always called Jin.

++++++++++++

My husband and I were always really worried about my son these past months because he didn’t even cry once and was always looking at every direction like a foreigner. But I felt relieved that my son although he is not crying like others babies, he still has the ability to sh*t and pee like the other babies, so me and my husband were thankful that he is still like other babies.

6 months passed by, before we thought that his body was slightly weaker because he was totally not crying or even fussing. But that thought was only during the beginning. After Jin learned how to crawl, he started to move everywhere in the house. Every time you take your eyes off him he will disappear then will be found everywhere in the house sometimes in kitchen, our room, the backdoor, the backyard, etc.

But what we noticed was after we found him everywhere in the house, he consistently found on the dojo of my husband, by the way my husband is a martial arts teacher so he is always on the dojo and so he is now the one looking after our son.

++++++++++++

These past months I’m always worried about my son. Completely not crying or fussing, so I thought that his body is weaker and I completely surrendered in making him a martial arts practitioner. But that thought was only during the beginning. After Jin learned how to crawl, my wife was always watching my son, but not until when he found this, my dojo. He consistently came here and after that he just sits and looks at us, I don’t know why but I faintly see a smile the first time my son came here. So I completely surrendered in making him a martial arts practitioner, I will make him a martial arts master!

++++++++++++

I found a place where many people practicing martial arts were gathered, I was very happy seeing many people wanting to become stronger, so my thoughts were always “Yes!, this may become interesting seeing people stronger than me, they may not be compared from me in my previous life but I know that the ME now is weaker than them”. So what I will first do is to listen and understand the language in this world, I still don’t know any information about this world but what I really noticed was this world doesn’t have any arcana.

It has been 730 days after I was reincarnated and they are all acting again like when it was 365 days after I was reincarnated. They are all happy and the people are all busy. At first, I thought that there may be some celebration like when we celebrate after every battle that we won. But I was really surprised when ma--- my father grabbed me and put my face closer to the small fire, I thought that they might really eat and kill their own but I was surprised when the ma--- my father puts out the small fire by blowing, after that they were very noisy and many people were kissing my lips, “hey, hey, hey people, why are you kissing me!”

But these days, my legs and waist were starting to become stronger, enough for me to walk with my feet and I was also starting to learn this world’s language. So what I did when they celebrated again was, I put out the small fire and then covered my lips with my hand. The people showed a surprised face at first, and then they all burst out from laughter. I was kind of confused at first but now that I learned some words in this world. I learned that what they celebrated every 365 days were called birthday, by the way birthday is ----, I know you already know so I will not explain it anymore. Now I also know how to use the calendar, so I’m 2-years-old right now.

These 2 years after I was reincarnated, I started to search for books in the house to know more information about this world but I was surprised when I saw my reflection. What I saw was a small kid with a brown messy hair with a brown eyes, I can say that my face is handsome. Before I can only see my reflection in my own daggers but now they have an object called mirror. I started going back and forth in the dojo to practice and make my body stronger everyday while still reading and searching for more information.

It has been 6 years after I was reincarnated and I am now 6-years-old. I was thankful that there were many books that I found in our house and because of that I have learned much information about this world. This world is called 【Earth】and this world doesn’t have any arcana but this world have more advanced technology than my past world. The place where I lived is called 【Philippines】even though this place have more advanced technology compared in my past world, it is said that there are more advanced places than this place. So I really felt excited just knowing how advanced the other place may be, I can’t imagine it. This world has many places like Europe, Korea, Japan, America and etc. Also the Philippines are one of the places under the Asia.

The basic information that I learned about this world is the year now is 2021, my name is Jin Russet, my mother and father is called Janeis and Frinlark respectively. This year I started going to school and I have many things that I noticed, all the kids were crying except for the girl that I saw from the back. The girl has a long black hair with a matching of dark brown eyes. I don’t know why but she looks lonely so I selected to sit on the back, right beside the little girl.

It has been 6 years after I was born and now I started going to school, I am very excited and nervous for this day because my father always brings securities whenever I went outside just to protect me and that made my friends avoid me. So now I am in a school, I can meet new friends and be happy. But I don’t have the courage to introduce myself to others also I became more nervous when I noticed that I’m the only one who was not crying and I feel left out. Not until I saw a boy that just came in, he has a brown hair and brown eyes. I think he is taller than me and also… he is not crying! Thank God, I thought I’m the only one who doesn’t cry going to school.

He also selected to sit beside me; this may be my chance to introduce myself. I hesitantly introduced myself to the boy beside me, I was nervous, what if he ignore me? What if he doesn’t want to become friends with me? But that all disappeared when what he returned was a warmth smile and he introduced himself. I learned that his name is Jin Russet and I also introduced myself, I was surprised that I didn’t feel nervous introducing myself, I don’t know why but Jin made me feel calm.

++++++++++++

I was a little surprised when the little girl beside me suddenly introduced herself with a nervous voice, when I noticed that she looks down, I smiled because it looks cute, just like the human and draconian kids I knew in my past life whenever they feel like I’ll ignore them. I introduced myself and she introduced herself, I learned that her name is Zenith Hearth and I feel this will be my new friend.

8 years has passed by and now I’m 14-years-old. Every day,Frinlark always teaches me at the dojo.Even though I am a grand master on my previous life I didn’t find it boring;it was very useful to me,for my body to fully support the movements that I desired.Every time I want to execute the moves I know from my previous life, more and more movements that I know before were now slowly coming to me and my body slowly executed it. So my schedule this past 8 years is like this, training – eat – school – eat – training – eat – reading – sleeping then from the start. I also managed to have an archery class when I told my parents I want to learn archery, at first I can’t properly use it because of how the strings and the bow not complimenting each other that made my aiming harder.

In my past life, I am the one who repaired my own bow to make sure if it was on a good condition so, I repaired the bow, modified it a little and I practiced a little until I feel that I can use it again like before. Now, my aim is perfect. Iteven made me the 7th time defending champion in the World Archery Tournament this past 7 years, there were many young people competing in this tournament, there were some who I find interesting and there were some who are a little bit interesting.Even now I tried using arcana but still can’t, I know that this world doesn’t have any arcana links, but you never know.

After I discovered that Frinlark can’t teach me anymore, I just continuously train, I even used the training method I used before in my past life. Zenith sometimes visited me in the dojo or in the house, because this past 8 years Zenith’s family and my family grown accustomed to each other. Zenith now feels like my little sister even though she’s older than me by months, but we don’t feel awkward about it.

2 years has passed by and now I’m 16-years-old, this past 2 years I was focused on watching of what they called animes, the stories were like my past life where there are people who has a power and were very strong. I even watched a no subbed animes cause I know already all the languages in this world, I think it’s because how bored I am and I really want to know more about this world. I also started reading mangas, manhwa/manhua and light novels, at first I just want to know why my classmates are always talking about this anime that, manga this, and light novel those. So I got interested on what they were talking about, and now I’m here, I got hooked for these things. Even though I got busy watching, reading and studying, I still didn’t forget to train my body to the fullest every day.

Now I’m a ComSci college student on University of Mindanao to know more about the technology of this world, Zenith chose Tourism as her course being a college student. Every day was always normal, not until a year after entering college.

Currently December 01, 2032 there is a popular news circling around the world.

Jin was interested on what this news is, so he turned on his Encha---- Television to know about this popular news, a popular host was on the t.v. and beside him were 2 people wearing formal attires

“And now let's have a bit talk about gaming”

“Hello everyone! We will now talk about the popular news circling around the world, we have here 2 representatives to the company Cube Enix who caused this uproar worldwide.”

The 2 people stands up and bowed to the people on the show

“Sirs, I’ll just get to the point here, is that okay with you two?”

The 2 people looked at each other and smiled then nodded to the host

“Just what is the news that you two will tell us that it caused the uproar worldwide?”

“It is about the very first VRMMORPG”

Jin can’t help but be happy and excited about this news, he really wanted to have a VR game be created because of the animes, mangas and light novels he read. What he really like were those with the genre Virtual Reality, he imagined that he might feel what he feels before in his past life where magic/arcana were present

“We Cube Enix happily announce the very first 99.9% Virtual Reality Game that will come out this 2033 and we welcome you all to the world of fantasy”

“Wow, I’m also ready and excited about this game you just announced but, is there any exact date on when and how many VR capsules you Cube Enix will provide?” – said by the host which feels a bit excited

“The exact date will be on April 15, 2033, and 5,000,000 VR capsules will be provided worldwide”

“oooohhh, then I really have to make that date vacant or else I’ll die hehehe” – jokingly said by the host

“But just how much does every VR capsule worth?”

“Every capsule worths 15,575 USD (700,000 pesos)”

“Cough* even if I want it, there’s no way I can buy it”

“Don’t worry, the prize can be paid monthly but only if you have a credit card, and if you want to buy it on cash you will only pay 14,500 USD”

“Ohhhh, then I want the monthly pay, hehehe”

“Yes, you can but we canonly deliver and accept orders starting on April 15, 2033 and also the game will open on April 30, 2033, so you still have 15 days before the game opens”

“Then do you have any last words to tell to the people watching?” - The representative looked directly to the camera

“Together with us Cube Enix,the game 【Yggdrasil Online】 will be the topic of all gamers everywhere! And not just gamers, even people who aren't interested in games will surely buy this to experience the world where magic and swords conquer! I myself will tell you this game is not like the game you have seen so far! You wouldn't believe that the world is virtual! The scenery, the people, animals, and monsters will feel and looks real!”

Jin can’t take it anymore and is really excited to feel again what he feels before, the killing of monsters, bosses, getting stronger and defeating stronger opponents. This time he will again have many opponents to defeat and that is why he is very excited on this game. The only thing that is on his mind is to become the strongest player in this game!
