Another: Memory of Another World

Ch. 42 Towards a new world

The first thing that hit Antares' head was, //now I know what Alice in Wonderland feels like.

Antares walks through a fantasy forest where every blade of grass grows to the height of a 3-story building. The small flower, which was usually nothing more than an Antares ankle, now grew into a monster that was hard to spot. Fruits on trees such as apples and guavas that may be slightly larger than a fist, now have the size of an African elephant's head.

The change happens so suddenly, that Antares feels like a helpless fairy lost in a huge forest. Fortunately, only species of flora grow giants. While fauna species also undergo changes, but not as radical.

It didn't take long for Antares to get to his destination. There are still one or two tombstones between giant trees 11-12 meters wide. There should be some trees growing nearby, but now only 2-3 trees appear. Either because the others died, or merged into one forming a giant tree.

Hehe, it reminds me of a certain tv show that is synonymous with the word "join." // Antares chuckles when scenes of 3 or more fighters with colorful armor swipe at his head.

Seeing the somewhat messy condition of the tomb, Antares decided to create a new tomb. Digging tombs for hundreds of people at the same time tends to be crazy to do. Therefore, he summoned Persona again hunting points. In addition, Antares also opened a store to buy items that have the ability to control the land. And he got it for 10,000 points. Not very powerful, but quite useful. For Elements, a necklace with 3 tomoe colors, red, yellow, and blue.

The necklace appeared on the neck of the sami-transparent figure that came out from empty air. The two made eye contact for a while, before the persona raised her hand. Not long after that a burrow of 2*1 meter with into 2 meters formed with a small vibration.

Then Antares raised his hand, and human figures in white cloth appeared one after another. Slowly down towards the burrow. They were the people Antares took from the sacrificial altar. At least this is what Antares can do for them. From a distance, they were not so different from ordinary people sleeping in their sleep. Not to forget, Antares enter 3 parasites into the body of certain individuals who are quite strong and talented. He gave the wand of life to one of the children. Only after, the persona closes the hole again and makes a headstone above it.

Thank you for everything you have given me so far. // Antares prayed with both hands together.

Then he came back.

On the way Antares recalls his memories of his previous life. Back then, he was just a foolish child who did not know about the world. Every day he would sit in the classroom to read comics or novels. Though his friends were playing together next to him, however, it was like there was an invisible curtain separating them. In fact, Antares is envious of extroverts who can chat without caring about the world.

There's a series that starts with a question, "Do you want to be the protagonist?" At first I thought it was ridiculous. That was because no matter the child's answer, he would still be the protagonist. But as the story progresses I realize, that destiny, not determined at the beginning of the story. Destiny is the result of a choice. Because it's me, I... // Antares could not find the right word to express these feelings.

He kept going, until a terbesit word, "would be me. I want to live in a story that I don't want to regret." though I know, no matter how hard we try, there will always be things that we regret in the end. That's certain.

The boy's eyes shone for a while, along with a somewhat abnormal mana fluctuation. Then he felt his heart was much calmer.

Antares arrived in front of his house not long after. He was already greeted by Steve and a backpack complete with pots and pans.

"It's over?" ask her with a big, heavy voice.

Antares gave a small nod in response.

"Alright, let's go then."

Antares looked back, observing the wooden house he had occupied for a while. He just smiled, then started to walk behind Steve.

Throughout the journey, Steve will tell various stories that he has told several times before. The grandfather seemed to be unperturbed with the little boy who remained silent with a bitter expression, and continued to tell stories. Meanwhile, Antares' attention will be distracted by the status windows that keep popping up.

……… etc..

No matter how I looked from any side, I felt like I was a psycho killer right now. I'm sorry, []. // Antares could only pray in his heart without stopping his shadow and his little dragon. After all, the thrill of leveling up and earning points was very, addictive!

Today's trip will be very long, not because of the long distance. Except for the hard terrain. The path that connects the two regions has now disappeared swallowed by grass roots and trees. The journey that was once easy, now is like climbing a steep mountain.

Fortunately, there is enough food to eat. And the annual war between the eastern and Aramaic empires may not happen anytime soon. For Antares himself, nothing really made him sigh. Because no matter under any circumstances, he was strong enough to stay afloat.

"By the way, what is the distance between Astera and Rimun?" ask Antares.

"3 days of travel for a few days before. For now, I'm not so sure." Steve answered with a serious face.

"Why don't we fly?" Antares imagines himself flying on the back of a dragon.

"No need, let's enjoy this journey. After all, there's no reason to rush." Said.

"All right."

Then two different people of that generation chatted with each other throughout the journey. Their levels were high enough to move near the speed of light, yet chose to walk leisurely.

Speaking of strength, Antares gained many new skills from parasitizing the villagers he buried this morning. For that reason, he started collecting all the corpses of the monsters he killed.

More than that, Antares is quite passionate about life in the city.

Rimun, here we come!
