In a vast darkness.
A faintly glowing object appeared.
It was a small crystal shard, emitting a pale blue glow. The surface was uneven, very irregular.
It seemed like a fragment knocked off a complete crystal.
"Snap!"
A crisp sound.
The crystal shattered.
It turned into a sky full of pale blue radiance, disappearing without a trace.
Kana suddenly opened his eyes.
Such a familiar thing.
"Your Highness, you're awake."
Hearing this, Kana quickly turned his head to see Alyris struggling to get up from the straw pile.
He hurriedly got up and went over.
He glanced at her condition.
The minor unbandaged wounds had already healed, and the bloodstains on the bandages were dry, with no fresh blood in sight.
The broken leg didn't seem fully recovered, but it wouldn't be so quick to heal completely.
"You lie down first, let me remove the bandages and take a look."
Kana said as he pressed Alyris back into the straw pile.
After removing the bandages, all the scars had scabbed over, even half had healed.
It must be said, the recovery was too fast. Yesterday, it still looked like a bloody mess.
But thinking about it, these wounds to someone with a bit of strength are merely superficial.
Plus, there are healing potions and normal medicinal powder.
Such is the Fantasy World.
"To be cautious, let's wrap one more layer."
Kana said as he threw away the bloodstained bandage and picked up what was left to continue wrapping.
Alyris wanted to protest, but Kana stopped her with his gaze.
Eyes fixed intently on Kana, who was bandaging him.
"I never thought you knew how to do this, Your Highness."
It has begun.
Kana knew that the extreme contrast before and after couldn't be hidden.
Even if he wanted to pretend, he honestly couldn't mimic the uselessness of Prince Kana.
"How long have you known me? Before the royal city fell, you had only been my knight for a week, right?
Let alone that week, you barely saw me, and what you know of me must be from those rumors, right?"
Kana had long thought of how to answer.
Based on the memories he had in his mind from the original owner, and his understanding of this game's storyline characters.
Hearing Kana's words, Alyris involuntarily nodded, it seemed true.
A week before the fall of the royal city, she had just qualified from the Knight Order.
Swearing loyalty in front of Prince Kana.
And in that week, they might not even have met twice.
After that, it was the fall of the royal city, fleeing all the way, entirely fighting and escaping in between.
However, during the escape, the shouting and screaming at the sight of corpses and monsters were unmistakable.
Of course, she didn't actually say it.
"I'm just a Fourth Prince, almost impossible for the throne.
If I can't vie for the throne, I'll just enjoy life.
But as you've seen, with the situation along the way, enjoying life is obviously impossible now."
Saying this, Kana shrugged helplessly.
Seeing this, Alyris couldn't help but nod in agreement.
Indeed it was.
Seeing Alyris believe it, Kana let out a sigh of relief.
Honestly, this excuse had many loopholes, yet it could only fool someone as loyal as Alyris.
Even without making excuses, just perfunctorily dealing with Alyris wouldn't change things; she'd still guard by his side.
"Hiss~" Alyris suddenly hissed in pain.
"Ah, sorry. Seems it's only half-healed, the left leg will take one or two more days to fully recover."
Kana said, adjusting the tightness of the wooden splint, carefully placing the left leg beside her.
"It's nothing, I'm just too incompetent." Alyris hurriedly said.
Hearing that, Kana looked at Alyris and said with a smile, "No, I have witnessed your loyalty. Please continue to guard by my side, my knight."
Hearing Kana's words, Alyris's face instantly flushed, hurriedly nodding.
Even wanting to rise and salute.
However, Kana immediately placed his hand on her shoulder, "But before that, you should rest well, so you can better guard me, right?"
Seeing Kana's smile, Alyris dumbly nodded, lying back on the straw pile.
Gazing dazedly at the ceiling.
So this is the real Prince?
He...is truly good.
A smile appeared on Alyris's face, one she didn't even notice herself.
Sitting back beside her, Kana checked himself.
The wounds on his body had completely healed, and the previous headache and fatigue were gone.
Checking the attributes panel.
[Character: Kana Safro Sat]
[Level: 1]
[Status: Normal]
[Blood Volume: 10/12]
[Magic Power: 4/12]
[Constitution: 6]
[Agility: 5]
[Spirit: 6]
[Evaluation: Clown Prince!]
All abnormal statuses were gone, it was completely impossible for his body to recover so quickly naturally.
It seems that having a datafied body offers many benefits.
Constitution and Spirit had also increased a bit.
This requires some explanation regarding the attributes' effects.
Constitution concerns the body's quality, blood volume, power, etc.
Blood volume cap is twice the constitution.
Agility does not refer to movement speed but rather the agility of action, balance, hand-eye coordination, and other facets related to motor ability.
Spirit is not related to wisdom but the strength of the brain and soul, closely linked to extraordinary power.
Magic Power cap is twice the spirit.
The two attribute points gained should be an improvement due to yesterday's battle training.
Not from experience value, more akin to personal training received.
After all, previously, the body was too frail.
But that evaluation, frankly, it's quite inaccurate, and I really don't like it.
The evaluation in the attributes panel changed.
[Evaluation: A person with potential yet useless.]
Mmm, this makes more sense.
Putting away the attributes panel.
Kana began thinking about future plans, as a series of events happened too quickly after crossing over, leaving no time to think.
Firstly, it's certain that he crossed over to a real world, one closely related to the game he played, "Stone of Creation".
As for whether it's like those novels, crossing into the game, Kana is skeptical.
Having played the game, although virtual, it greatly differs from reality.
For example, it cannot simulate smell or taste.
It can only simulate touch through vision and special gear.
But even so, the virtual game was already amazing.
Thus, Kana was sure he crossed into a real world.
"Stone of Creation" is a large MMORPG game built on a fantasy backdrop.
Before crossing over, it had been through several versions, accompanying players for 10 years.
Based on memory.
It should be Holy Calendar 876 now.
When the game's plot starts, it should be Holy Calendar 878.
The Blood Conspiracy began this year, mmm, I am already personally experiencing it now.
Next year, the Blood Calamity will erupt, before which I must leave here, leaving Safro this country.
There are pursuers trying to turn me into the Blood Race.
In the plot, the original owner of this body was forcibly turned back into the Blood Race.
No, no, I absolutely can't accept the appearance of the Blood Race, let alone their lifestyle.
That's almost like death.
Then, where does my strength, this datafied power, come from?
In this world, there's only one possibility, plus the recent dream.
Kana seemed to have a judgment.
