A long silence ensued.
He was too flustered to speak, unsure of how to proceed with the new revelation.
This has taken a rather unique turn.
'This being or whoever she is, is clearly amnesiac, to be honest, I was hoping that she would be able to help me with figuring out my identity and why I woke up in this strange place, but it seems I will have to figure it out myself.'
'Since she can't help, what do I do? Should I get out of this place, away from this place and look for answers elsewhere? But where do I go? I don't even know what dangers lie out there, outside dangers aside, I should approach this suspicious being with caution. Strangely I don't feel much alarm when facing this being, but that could be a trap to lower my guard, not only can't I see my surroundings, I am half naked and completely unarmed, if anything i am the most perfect prey'
Turning his head, He eyed the entrance of the room, The air inside the room was thick with a musty scent, it was almost nauseating bearing with the overwhelming scent. He observed the entrance and its surroundings.
'The frame of the doorway is very brittle, in fact it wouldn't be surprising if it collapsed with a single touch, and the floor is almost smooth with only a few cracks here and there, so there is less likely to be a trap from below.'
But that was the most he could discern, it was too dark, what he managed to see was only thanks to the dim light barely illuminating the room. But it was insufficient so he couldn't verify if there was a trap from above.
'Tch, this is risky but not really of concern right now, thankfully the being hasn't shown any hostility towards me, and seems willing to help. Let's see how much I can get out of her'
Wiping the trickle of sweat, he bowed his head slightly, showing what respect he could and asked.
"Lady Gaia, May I know where we are?-"
[...]
[ you are located in the northern hemisphere… ]
…
'That's it? You can't be serious? How is that supposed to help me!'
'Ugh, whatever sense of awe I had for her, I can feel is being utterly crumbled into sand'
"Haha.. Lady Gaia, knowing which part of the globe we are in is great and all, but-"
Cough cough cough
'Damn it, I forgot about my damned voice box!'
Cough cough…
After another fit of coughs, he raised his head again and continued.
" It would be more helpful if you could be more specific."
[ hmm… you are correct… to be exact, you are located in the central region of the northern continent, just slightly west of the domain of Central Authority. ]
_!!
'Domain of the central authority?! That means this place is near a population! That's good, I needed that, now i have a direction i can go to'
Bowing deeply.
"Thank you for enlightening me, lady Gaia".
[ What do you plan to do? ]
Hm?
'Now that I think about it?, if i leave and go to the closest population, there wouldn't be much I could do, searching for my identity is bound to take a while, or if i get lucky i might actually be a person from the closest place to here, who just lost his memories, i might even have a family!'
"I plan to go to the closest population, and try to uncover my identity.-"
[ once you leave, I highly advise you to keep a low profile. ]
Huh? Why all of a sudden?, for some reason, an unknown feeling starts to well up in my stomach.
"May I ask why?", he asked, while being apprehensive.
[ you will understand once you leave.. ]
