Ouch!...
What was that!?...
What a headache!!...
Ethan felt that the world was collapsing, with darkness, confusion, and a strange headache, as if there were church bells in his head and banging!!! , he calls out, it has surrounded Etan.
Ethan felt his body shaking bit by bit. In addition to headaches
, there is something mysterious and terrifying, a strange cold sensation mysteriously moving from his left hand straight to his heart, And his whole body is wrapped in a curtain full of ominous feelings.
Despite the confusion and pain and other complex emotions, he still mustered his available strength to try to control his body parts.
He slowly tried to move them, but it seemed that none of them, according to their original settings, had the intention of obeying Ethan O's main command center...
Wow!... I can finally think a little, what a fu****g headache...
Well... it shouldn't be sleep because from what I've heard, people don't feel pain when they're asleep...
Now that Ethan had regained his ability to think, he mobilized all his efforts to get rid of this strange darkness and cold.
This coldness, its feeling is not like going out in the air below zero degrees Celsius, but like the human body itself turning the ambient temperature into negative. Anyway, Ethan should focus on his body adjustments for now... focus...
It was as if all the lectures he had heard in his life about hard work and effort to achieve success were finally showing their fruits after a long period of fruitlessness...
Ethan was finally able to take control of his body after an unknown period of effort.
His vision went from black to gray and then back to normal with an unfamiliar ceiling. The roof was made of wood, not wood for the facade, because in the middle you come across a wooden column, you can clearly see the passage of years on the roof, and we can also see water marks and cracks that prevent the roof from fulfilling its main responsibility.
On the left side of the old hut, there was a fireplace and a chair in front of the fireplace, and next to the fireplace were some old chests with some books on top of them...
In front, there was a kitchen, or in fact, a room trying to pretend to be a kitchen. There is an old door on the right side, with the wooden bed and the study table to the south that Ethan is currently sitting on, it qualifies as an old cottage away from the standard civilized society...
hisssss...
Another attack of extreme cold to Etan's heart, this time in addition to the cold, there was also a pain as if a needle was going into the heart, it changed Etan's thoughts from confusion to clear and accurate thoughts. Ethan turned his attention to its source, his left hand.
At first, the different appearance of his left hand did not attract his attention, but the spider mark with a long sickle on the back of his palm created a sense of curiosity, confusion, and a little fear in Ethan.
When Ethan first looked at it he was a little scared and thought that the image was real, the chilling presence that Ethan felt from it not only did not disprove this theory but also added a more terrifying aspect to it, but after a while that no special movement was made, with a closer look, Ethan noticed that it was just a tattoo...
Ethan tried to regain his composure by meditating a bit or pretending to do it and assess the situation correctly...
Ethan always used to calm his mind by pretending to meditate, but due to the lack of specialized training or the effort to search for it, it became just a pretense.
Anyway, Ethan, after pretending a bit to prove the theory of imitation to do things while the doer does not accept that it is imitation or is convinced of its correctness, leads to the conclusion...
Ethan's thoughts became clear.
Ethan slowly regained control of his body, or whatever he was in now, and began to assess his situation.
First, the hands and feet, the clothes, and the environment are unfamiliar...
This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there.
Second, the memories of the last place Ethan was before here are unclear...
Third, the mysterious coldness has turned into a spinning needle marching into the heart...
As Ethan's thoughts became clearer, Ethan's mind began to analyze the incoming data, and little by little, after less than a cup of tea...
The doubt and confusion of the unfamiliar environment and the lack of memories of the last place, despite the clarity of thought along with a mysterious coldness in the heart, a deep and dark fear accompanied by shivering filled Etan's being.
It seems that the combination of fear and pain caused a mental shock in Ethan's head, and then little by little pieces of memories hit his head like the blades of thousands of swords, the contents of which made Ethan's fear even deeper...
The memories were completely unfamiliar, or rather, in fact, they didn't even belong in your world...
The memories weren't complete, they were just a little bit of everything, and they were hacked into an unforgettable movie in Ethan's mind, as if this movie wasn't just a movie, but Ethan's own experience, of course, it still exists. A curtain that creates new memories with original memories. apart from each other
The memoirs show a young boy with the same name as Ethan living in an empire that is similar in time to the Victorian era, but not on Earth, as the style is a little fantasy, well more than a little actually, in his world of power. There are exceptions such as sword and sorcery.
anyway...
Ethan was an orphan, that is, he had the default life of the protagonist, but he did not have the luck of the protagonist
which led to living in this old hut...
Speaking of the hut, this hut is not only old and dilapidated, it is also located near a cemetery for the poor neighborhood...
In the distance of a few miles, there are only Ethan and the old man in charge of the cemetery, Ethan did not interact much with the old man, or rather he said that he tried to maintain a certain distance with him...
Ethan was indeed an orphan and in this dangerous and violent world he was struggling hard for a place to survive, but anyway, Ethan was still a teenager, let alone a teenager, even adult or elderly men have a certain distance. They protect them from people who are constantly in contact with the dead
Anyway...
Well, other things about this boy, he lost his parents when he was young so there was no memory of them, nor did his parents have the wealth or other relatives to be able or willing to take care of Ethan.
. So Ethan grew up in an orphanage since he was a child, maybe because of his calm nature, maybe because of the good education of his parents, unlike other people in the orphanage who were drawn to black jobs, he did not get involved with them, in addition to his elementary education Free of charge, the church began to study with some books that were in the orphanage without the necessary educational aids.
. As if God rewards Ethan for his hard work, Ethan's efforts paid off. He won the top rank in the entrance exam of the local academy in his city, and even his talent was recognized by one of the academy professors who hired him as his assistant. took
. Well, the question may arise here, if he is talented, why did he study only in a local academy in a small town, well, in answer, Ethan was indeed talented, but he did not have an academic education and a standard to compare with his peers, and also enough money for He did not travel to big cities and participate in their exams
. anyway...
Question: Why does a top student from the academy live here? Answer: Well, the top student of the academy or even the assistant professor has no salary, that is, because of money, actually it is better to say because of lack of money, well, this is a world based on magic and Etan has very little talent in magic and that's why No one bothers to support a weak and poor ant like him
. Well... hmmmmmm, and another thing is that because he is a member of the lower class of society, but despite that he dared to get the top rank, he was rejected by the academy's circle of students and only by doing some small tasks in With the advice of his teacher, the academy was able to save him from bullying and pay for a place to live and food to eat, as well as the cost of pen and paper and other necessary equipment.
Anyway,
Eitan has now graduated from the academy and is preparing for the national recruitment exam. How in a fantasy world based on magic, which is the basis of the country's politics based on aristocracy and power, can there be something democratic like a national recruitment exam!?
Well, in answer: the empire that Etan lives in, like all empires throughout history, has a stubborn rival...
Historical fact: the best way to unite people is hatred...
Anyway, hmmmm, well there's another rival, only that one is based on another continent, and naturally a powerful enemy up close is more frightening than one far away.
. Anyway, the rival empire, unlike the empire that Ethan lives in, instead of the nobles at the center of the country's power, powerful people, well, actually magicians and other powerful experts are at the core of power, although their nobles also have special privileges. They are exploitative.
And after that, hmm...
Well, as I said, the rival empire also has nobles, only the nobles are not in the central core of the government, just as the empire where Ethan lives has non-aristocratic specialists, but they are not in the central core of power, of course they also have some privileges.
. However, it seems that this amount of points was not enough to attract the opinion of experts from all over the world to compete with the rival empire, and naturally, it was not possible to increase the points without cutting off the interest of others, and considering the great influence and power of the nobles of Taghriba, it was impossible.
. For this reason, the empire used plans or calculations such as the recruitment test and the alliance with the Church of Light, as well as the creation of a lower house alongside the upper house to secretly or compromisely give more privileges to non-aristocratic talents.
Anyway, that was a summary of the understandable part of the received memory...
When Ethan came out of the fusion mode, he thought deeply:
transmission... a fairy-tale fantasy that has strangely reached its peak of popularity in the age of the information explosion, an age where science has permeated all aspects of society...
Who would have thought that I would come across something like this, of course, it's not like I'm unhappy...
Ouch...
... Shit headache again, no, my eyes
... it's not a headache, it's, uh...
Ouu...
Why are my eyes burning...
... golden, golden...
Why did everything turn golden, what is this written...
My eyes are closed, so this...
[Order is just an empty excuse, injustice has found its way into law...
Gods are cruel...
Gods are cruel not only to mortals but also to themselves...
God!?, heh... these people are just slightly stronger mortals, with seven emotions and six wishes, the only difference is that they are a thousand times more proud...
...humf, ridiculous...
This is just ridiculous, these flawed beings who are full of worldly desires like mortals and also drown in these desires and perish like them, call themselves gods just because of their longer life and more power. Clarity is bullshit...
Calling themselves god because of more power is clearly nonsense... Gods are cruel, justice has become a soulless ornament to hide injustice... I do not accept, this is extremely cruel, and unacceptable...
ahh...
Poor lonely souls, I wish you could at least take the last journey in peace...
Humph...
I'm tired of this cycle of wandering and fruitlessness...
I use all the my life energy To fix this so that at least those lonely souls can go their way in peace. . .]

Rumi, the poet, asked his friend Shams: What happened, you came to peace?!
Shams replied:
I was supposed to calm myself, not the world around me, but a miracle happened and the world around me also calmed down...
