Chapter 3 - GEO

Here is the accurate English translation of your text, without adding anything:

Lin returned to his room once again, recalling Rao's words. He sat on the chair and resumed searching through the journal until he finally found a page containing some text.

"Lately, my father asked me something strange: to continue leading the Raizel family after him. His words surprised me, considering I'm the weakest member of the family and can't even use Geo like the others."

"Geo?!"

"Is that some kind of magical energy? Was Lance using the same thing?"

Lin set aside the analysis for later and focused on continuing the reading.

"His request no doubt stemmed from trust, as my father has always been a fighter who has faced many battles in his life. Despite his constant insistence, I rejected his offer every time due to my intense obsession with exploring the world. In the end, we live on a continent divided into four kingdoms, each ruled by noble families striving to dominate the others and conquer more land. But outside, there lies the true darkness. Far off, across the sea, there are four zones surrounding this continent—no one has dared to explore them. Everyone who goes there and attempts to invade returns dead, which led people to assume that Geo beasts of the first class dwell there."

Lin sighed, taking a break from what he was reading. The overwhelming amount of information was hard for him to comprehend—or even believe. He then lowered his head to continue.

"It sounds insane, but there are those who claim to have survived and said they saw a stone pyramid in one of those unknown zones."

Lin's expression turned serious. At last, he had found something that could truly help him. After a moment, he stood up, thinking about what Rao had said about the temple—ignoring everything else, since he didn't care about the events of this world.

"At least I now know that the place I saw isn't just a meaningless nightmare. But this doesn't solve the real issue—the location is in an area even the kingdoms here have no information about. How am I supposed to reach it?"

Lin threw himself onto the bed, feeling its softness. He hadn't had such comfort in a long time.

"Alright, no harm in getting some rest. Let's leave the complicated stuff for later."

Morning had arrived, and sunlight began to slip through Lin's room, landing on his face and waking him. He slowly opened his eyes. For a few seconds, he forgot what had happened—then quickly remembered that he was now in a different body.

"I thought once I woke up, I'd be back in my rat cage, but it seems there's no escaping this."

Lin got up and began wandering through the house. He still couldn't believe it had become his home. Then he once again heard his brother's voice in the yard, so he went to watch him.

"Lance trains hard every day—I'm sure he's aiming for something too. I think this is my chance to ask him about Geo. Either way, I can't live in a world full of danger and reach the stone pyramid without power to help me."

"What are you looking at?"

Lin was shocked by Lance's words; he hadn't expected him to notice.

"Yesterday you were watching me—and now again. Do you have a problem with my training?"

Lin gave a sly smile. He saw this as the perfect chance to ask Lance about Geo, having realized after deep thought that to reach his goal, he needed to learn something like that.

"Well, honestly, I liked what you were doing. Can you teach me how to use Geo?"

Lance appeared behind Lin in an instant and uttered just two words:

"Tomorrow."

"At that time."

A surprised expression appeared on Lin's face. He was taken aback by how easy it was.

"Is he mocking me, or does he really want to teach me? Why did he agree so quickly?"

Meanwhile, as Lance walked away, he was thinking about only one thing—trying to help Ryo learn as much as possible. He knew that in the past, Ryo had tried with all his might. The best he could do was release an aura, but he couldn't control, direct, or even manage it. In the end, he gave up completely. But his return and attempt to try again made Lance feel that maybe Ryo could one day bear responsibility. After all, he had once refused to become the family leader, thinking he needed protection—when in truth, he should be the one protecting his people.
