Chapter 1 : Master

Chapter 1 : Master

When Elurian regained consciousness, he was in his Master's house, specifically in his room. The room is quite luxurious because the Master is a person who likes beautiful things.

Pink diamond gems were placed on each side of the wall, decorating the crystal lamp holder. The bed was very comfortable for him, plus extra care from food intake, knowledge, and training. If he ignores the strange Master, then all this luxury is very impressive in this cruel world.

'Ah, well ... No wonder I was targeted because receiving this extremely rare luxury, but something isn't right." Elurian rubbed his aching head and leaned back.

He was sure his Master would be very curious as to why he had ended up in that dangerous place, so he would just have to wait for him to come.

As he expected, a few moments later, his Master came out of nowhere and immediately appeared at the side of his bed.

With a transcendent appearance that fascinates anyone, Rex Violet, as the name suggests, has violet eyes on the right side and red on the left side, both eyes are different. His hair color is also unique, like a mixture of violet and red, and forms a bright magenta color.

He always wore a red, hooded robe that had jeweled decorations, like a wizard, although Elurian couldn't tell whether his Master was a wizard or not.

"Glad you're awake, what happened?" Rex Violet walked closer to Elurian's side and examined Elurian's pale face.

His low voice reminded Elurian of his older brother in his previous world. He immediately came to his senses when Rex Violet stared at him sharply. That's right, of course, he would be angry because his disciple was so naive and easily deceived by others.

'Unfortunately, it's not like I knew that fellow guides could become enemies.' Elurian began to explain his reasons for being in Twilight Forest.

A week ago, when Ahn Seohyun woke up in Elurian's body and was suddenly taken by a stranger to the city hall, that was the first time he saw his Master, Rex Violet.

While still a little confused about his new identity, Elurian temporarily followed the directions given by the guides. He put his hand on the test ball and immediately got Rex Violet's attention. Rex Violet without hesitation took him as his disciple and did not let other guides take him away.

Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.

At that moment, Elurian realized that he had changed the original story because Rex Violet should never had a disciple.

'Would it be okay if the main plot changed too?' He still thinks that the people around him including the protagonist are just unreal novel characters.

The purpose is to save this world which is facing the apocalypse caused by the Tower of Desire. It made him ignore the most important thing that he lived in this world and it was clear that the people around him were also humans like him. Elurian underestimated them and was caught off guard by a simple trick. He felt like he had disappointed his Master just as he had disappointed his older brother.

With a guilty expression, he explained the situation briefly, "Master, I made a mistake in not thinking back to whether Master called me there. So, I was trapped there without any protective equipment."

The Twilight Forest was a much more dangerous place than he had previously thought. When he was trapped there and hit by a snowstorm, he felt a wave of madness. That's right, in the central area of Twilight Forest, stands one of the towers which is part of the Tower of Desire.

If he not receiving some privileges from that entity, Elurian might have turned into a monster. Still, the privilege of retaining common sense has its limits.

Rex Violet leaned against the wall on the right side of Elurian's bed, close to the glass windows covered with red curtains. He listened to Elurian's explanation while crossing his arms. Even though he had expected it, hearing it directly made him angry because the disciple he had chosen had been bullied.

"Who?" he asked as he looked at the small figure of his disciple who looked thin and pale.

Elurian understood the meaning of his Master's question, which was straight to the main point. Who would dare use his Master's name to trap him in the Twilight Forest?

'Should I tell him? But, he must have known and was just testing whether I would immediately reveal the culprit to be punished. That's not something he likes.' Elurian's mind weighed the pros and cons of telling his complaint.

"I don't know. I only received a sheet of paper containing instructions to go to Twilight Forest and Master's initials were on the paper, so I thought Master was training me."

Rex Violet's habit is to write his initials in letters or pieces of paper to give instructions when he is not here. Also, it wasn't a lie because Elurian did receive the piece of paper, but he didn't tell his Master that he saw the sender.

'I didn't lie, I just didn't tell you everything.'

Elurian looked at his Master nervously, he was a little afraid after realizing that the protagonist in front of him was not just a novel character. Rex Violet is his Master, someone who cares for him and protects him.

"Oh, I see." As if he could read Elurian's thoughts, Rex Violet nodded and moved from his position. He patted Elurian's head gently as he said, "Get some rest, I'll take care of it, this won't happen again."

Then, he walked out of the room. Just before Rex Violet closed the door, he paused for a moment as if suddenly thinking of something important.

"Little rabbit, I won't write to you next time. I will contact you in another way, so don't be fooled again," Rex Violet told him.

Then, he left after saying that in a different tone from his emotionless tone.

The corner of Elurian's mouth twitched. He still couldn't get used to the strange nickname. On the other hand, he was happy that his Master turned out to be someone who cared so much about his disciple. Different from what is written in the novel, Rex Violet in the novel is someone who doesn't want to bother helping or protecting others.

How can a type like him become a protagonist? That's because the interesting part is its extraordinary power, unique nature, and goals that determine the development of this world.

Of course, Elurian knew what his Master's goal was. However, that will be discussed at another time.

Now, he had to correct his wrong ways of thinking and see everyone in this world as they were and not as plot-driven characters.
