' I hope in my next life ... I can live a happy life !!! '
__________________
Location : World Of Fantasia :
The morning sunlight passed through the window of the room and fell on the sleeping figure of a young man .
Suddenly as if woken by a bad dream the young man jolted up and opened his eyes but was immediately blinded by the strong sunlight .
Quickly he brought his hands forward to block the sunlight as he got off his bed .
But just a his feet touched the ground he felt as if he was standing on a stone floor that was certainly different from the hospital room where he was admitted .
He quickly reached out his hand to the table beside looking for his spectacles but found that there was nothing .
" Where are my glasses ? And my wallet ? But more importantly..."
" Where the hell is my freaking phone.... "
In his hurry he got out of the bed but right after that accidentally tripped over a chair and fell to the ground .
" Ouch ! Ouch! "
" Who the hell puts a chair in middle of a room . "
" Is that person out of your freakin mind . "
After complaining a bit more he suddenly he felt something was wrong.
Then he finally started to clearly register what was happening .
The walls of the room were made of stones like an old medieval castle.
Even the furnitures were made of some kind of wood he did not quite recognise.
Moreover the lights in the room were actually glowing crystals of some kind , which was certainly different from the modern light bulb that a 21st century child would remember .
Finally there was the bed.
It was a comfortable king sized bed which was certainly not something a hospital would provide.
This was certainly not the familiar hospital room where he was admitted in .
On the contrary if he were to explain the decoration of the room he would say it almost looked like a fantasy game setting that for some reason felt a lot familiar than he expected .
" What in the hell is this ? Is this some kind of April fools joke . "
But even if it was a joke wasn't it going a little too far .
" Alright whoever is behind this come out... "
To be honest now he was really freaking out .
So he decided to check out of the room .
Just as he was about to check out of the room half expecting to find a crowd of people who would surprise him by saying ' April fools day ' something happened .
Write in front of him there was a mirror and it was a huge person sized mirror .
But more importantly than the size of the mirror was the reflection he was seeing .
He saw his own reflection on the mirror but it was not anything close to what he remembered he looked like .
The reflection on the mirror was of a young boy with deep amber eyes and dark black hair kept at a medium length .
His facial features was that of a mixture between a scholar and a rugged warrior - a balance between his knowledge and a proof that he was a man with ground experience .
And although he wasn't a ' Prince charming ' his facial features made him stand out quite a bit as a handsome young man .
And this was also complemented by his dress .
He wore a clean high collared white lenin shirt , a dark ocean blue tail coat jacket made of some kind of shiny material which was very soft and comfortable and a black pant .
In terms of his physical vive the boy wasn't like a overly ' bulky ' warrior or a weak looking wizard who only new how to cast spell from along distance .
Instead he was more like a ' swimmers build ' - long , lean muscles , that seems like it was meant for endurance and it looked like he can run for hour's without stopping .
All in all from head to toe - from the dress to the face and the body the reflection in the mirror was completely opposite to what he rememberd he looked like.
" Who the hell is this !!!! "
At this moment his panic was reaching at its pick .
And the illusion that it was some kind of a prank had already shattered away in a million pieces .
Because if this was some kind of a prank then perhaps someone was using technology from future.
" No ! I need to get out of here fast . "
At this point he ran towards the door hopping that after opening the door he would find some clues to what was actually going on .
After all everything till now made literally no sense at all .
But just as he was about to open the door .
" Ahhh !!!!! "
A strange piercing headache made him scream in pain as he fell back to the chair for support .
This pain was so much that he literally saw darkness in front of his eyes .
" Ahhh ! What in the hell !! Ahhhh !!!! "
And as the time passed the pain was getting worse and worse .
But while the pain was still there something else also happened .
As if a flood gate had opened a huge amount of memories that felt both familiar and unfamiliar to him started to course through his mind .
It was only after 10 minutes that finally the headache started to clear away bringing more clarity to his situation .
After the pain was finally gone he looks around as if he had survived some kind of disaster .
But still the shock was so much that he couldn't speak for some time only silently look at the reflection on the mirror .
" So it's true afterall ... "
" I am in a new world . "
This feeling itself was truly something else .
After taking some deep breaths he finally calmed down little .
After thinking for a while the situation became completely clear to him .
And there were quite of few surprises .
First of all , he indeed crossed into another world and it was a fantasy world of Sword and Magic .
And more importantly he was actually familiar with this world .
This was the ' World Of Fantasia ' .
In his previous life it was a novel series that was so popular that it had anime adaptation and a gameing series .
He was a fan of this novel series and always followed the latest release and updates .
And before his coming to this world the last of the series was about to be released a few days later.
However before the story would be completed he himself transported in this world .
" Man ! It's so cliche. I mean is it some kind of a fanfiction or novel writing going on . " - he thought aloud.
" Well if it's a writing the author must not be very original. "
After making some light jokes about the situation , he finally looked more serious .
The world of fantasia was divided into multiple parts where various races and kingdoms ruled .
The world was divided between two continents and some other small Islands.
The first continent was the continent of Aethelgrada .
It was the continent where most of the humans elves and races lived divided between various Empires , kingdoms and cities .
The second continent was totally opposite .
It was the continent of Abyssal Primordia - the home of the Abyssal Kins - creatures of dark madness similar to what people from earth would recognize as demons .
The original story depicted a huge world building where both continents would be locked in a war with each other for a long timewith no end in sight .
When the hero party launched a counter offensive in the Abyssal continent it was met with heavy resistance .
And as a result even the hero could only go as far as the outer layer of the continent .
Although it would be the furthest any allied force have ever penetrated in the dark Continent and will be celebrated as a victory .
And now he was living in that world so obviously it was not a joke .
But fortunately for him he was not living in weaker Kingdom.
" This is the kingdom of Valerion one of the two strongest human Kingdom's in the continent of Aethelgrada. "
The kingdom of Valerion was hejaman of power in the Northern part of the continent of Aethelgrada and held a massive military force .
Altho they were also one of the main participants of Battle against the Abyssal Kins , the military was strong enough to prevent most of the battle at the border regions .
However in the game and the novel series sometimes the abyssal kins and their followers managed to come close and sometime even within the capital city .
But frankly because it was required to make a stepping stage for the hero of the story .
But still while this did brought the kingdom too many troubles .
It was better than living in a small Kingdom at the edge of the continent that could be much more vulnerable to destruction by the abyssal kins .
So yeah ! in away he was both lucky and unlucky .
" And my name in this world is Cian V Keolos - the eldest son of a rural noble Lord from the northern region of the kingdom . "
Thinking about it a complicated expression appeared on his face .
From what he remembered this character was not on the main cast of the story and was not even a third rate villain character .
Hence was most likely a side character that was never shown in the series .
This was a good thing because now he will know longer have to worry about a scripted line .
Like him being a third rate villain who will be the stepping stone for the hero in his early academic days .
But it also meant that he did not have any special power and influence that could give him advantages .
So just like before it was a mix bag of good and bad for him .
But there was one thing that was to his liking .
" Cian V Keolos! Hmm ! I must say this name is quite good I always wanted to have a name like this . " - he thought in excitement .
From the memories he received the childhood of Cian V Keolos was a good life with him having a good family and a good name among the local population .
However while he was indeed a noble born his family was at the bottom of the noble hierarchy making them only a little more better than some moderate merchant families from the capital city .
After he came of age he was sent to learn at the prestigious Valerion Academy of Wizard and Warriors .
And tomorrow is going to be his first day at the Academy .
" And from what I know even the hero will be joining the academy tomorrow and the other main characters will be there as well . "
It seems that fate had already decided that he will know longer be able to live a quite life .
After all it was easy to say that I will just stay low profile .
But my friend when you are closed to the hero trouble will follow .
If you remain weak and low profile you will be eventually squashed like a background character .
If you want to become strong then one day eventually your real power will be revealed to the world bringing you to the spotlight .
It is indeed a dilemma of choice .
" Sigh ! So what should I do ? "
And just as Cian was thinking about his future plans and ways of avoiding trouble , he suddenly heard a sound ringing in his ears attracting his attention .
" Ding ! System Notification : Plot Changing System ( Activated ) : "
