Day 1 of 3rd era

"Truly a successful mortal has somebody behind his or her success. Power, wealth, and fame come hand in hand when one's desire burns with passion; love is in every passion. Love happens in everybody, unknowingly or knowingly we love something or somebody, and so a push is needed to move in an unknown journey." - Mr. Earthling

It's true, Brother, if you work for it, sitting in your home reading light novels, watching anime, and playing ero-ero games, 18 hours a day, doesn't make you successful.

I would have been happy if I got some memory of a special soldier or at the least a responsible Man, but What I got is a loser; a 30-year-old idiot, who only knows how to dream of being a protagonist in some fantasy novels.

"I want to marry a beautiful girl, beautiful in my requirement is as beautiful as an elf. I heard they are kind, loyal, and sweet, but before that, I wanted to find a girlfriend, we will love each other, we will have our times, yet we overcome them and finally get married. Till now, none of the girls get on my list. The girls of my age are very fickle, they are not my type. Nonetheless, none of them came for me, they got ashamed of my handsomeness. I went for some older types, they giggled and went away, I thought they already have somebody nonetheless, I tried to flirt with a maid, and she called me a 'kid.' Such humiliation, I vowed that day I have to find a beautiful wife."

"I then set my sights on younger ones, I thought because of my handsomeness they will jump right away, but they asked for money. Money is not a problem for me; I can buy them chocolates, I can buy them fancy clothes, but no, they want a magic car. For the sake of the planet, I always travel by foot, yet they want a magic car, how could that be possible? I educated them, conveyed my feelings, and then they call me an 'Uncle.' How could that be? Me, a handsome man, to be called an 'Uncle,' impossible."

"I didn't lose hope; consistency is the key to success. As usual, I went to a hotel, and there I saw a Soldier Uncle surrounded by beautiful girls, not that beautiful, but he was surrounded by girls, me, the handsome, didn't even have a girlfriend, and yet a pig has that many girls."

One of his greatest dreaming materials, if he knows there is a legend of the elven empress, cutting thousands of men's... well, you know. It's not the stuff of dreams, let's put it that way.

It's been 5 years since I am watching his life as I sleep. I still remember that day when in my dream a man said to me -

"Brother, I leave my dreams to you."

I freaked out when I thought of all the heretics being burned to death. I kept 'mum' about it.

From that day onwards, I am forced to interpret every thought in the way an earthling imagines. This World has Monsters, This World has levels, here, god is there to look over us. Our World has all the technology which 21st-century Earth has, though many are modified or discarded due to the gods' wishes.

I am not sure if I have changed in any way, but his will remains. I cannot converse with him, but he can affect my thoughts.

At present, My parents kicked me out of my house, and they said to me to live my own life. They sold our house and went away, leaving a few words of farewell.

I am grateful for their kindness, but leaving me behind after a few words of farewell is a bit hurtful.

Many parents in our village did the same, they say it is a type of custom when the children are at the age of 18, they leave them alone and go on a pilgrimage. Though this pilgrimage could be a death journey, they still have to follow the customs, if not there are rumors of many village people falling ill and succumbing to death, taking along many relatives with them.

I am currently traveling from my village to the red stone city with many teenagers for the same purpose, i.e. job hunting.

For the easy jobs, my education qualification doesn't satisfy it. Well, since I spent my early years as a 'grasshopper,' I think it is fine to accept it. Since I have to earn money for a living, I am going to join the Mercenaries. No education qualification, the only life on the line.

Many become adventurers and mercenaries during these 2 years. From our seniors, I have heard those who had worked as adventurers or mercenaries have a higher chance of survival than those who haven't done a thing. I think it is because most of the weaklings die in the missions they undertake. This job is not easy after all.

Mr. Earthling's thoughts surfaced in my mind as I imagined my future -

"I will hold some big shots' golden thighs; then I will surpass him and make him hold my shoes. I will become a Great Man; then the princess will please me, countess and duchess will please me. I can even court a royal elf. Those beauties are waiting for me; for the greater cause of all those beauties in history, I will have to make a rush."

It lightens my mood with Mr. Earthling's imagination.

Traveling for five days, I reached the entry point of the blue stone district along with my companions.
