I never imagined myself setting foot in a luxurious building, let alone a magnificent mansion where even the floors could sell for a fortune. I feel really unsuitable in here, wearing clothes that have started to get dirty with dust and plants. I hope my arrival doesn't bother anyone who's in the Mansion, I don't want to be a burden or a destroyer. Maybe after receiving the kindness given by the father from the princess, I will immediately go to find a job to be able to stay in a cheap inn.
However, once inside the room, an outfit had been specially prepared for me. A black tunic was paired with a pair of similarly colored cloth trousers as well as a dark brown belt and a pair of high-quality leather boots.
As soon as I felt the materials from the clothes, I let out a long sigh, feeling so heavy to use this luxurious item especially from the giving of others.
It's not that I'm not grateful, I'm really grateful, but this.. This is too much.
I am not someone who is suitable to use an item like this, moreover, what if I damage it?
I don't want to be someone ungrateful to ruin a gift.
Inside the bathroom, I sighed again seeing a luxurious bathtub filled with hot water that had also been prepared. However, once soaked in it, this head instantly became empty, feeling how heavy my body had been since yesterday.
I can't believe I'm putting a little too much weight on my own body. I didn't feel it at all because I was probably too enthusiastic.
But, I'm still more lucky than the people in town who didn't make it. I can still enjoy this kind of comfort while they are likely at the same time, while trying to survive.
In a matter of days, a lot has changed in my life. From the environment to how I see the world.
Before, I saw a world without color, gray and emitting the same feeling constantly.
Monotonically.
There is no difference, only the same life, which is to make money for life and already. That's all.
But now, I can enjoy a whole new world, completely different, full of stories and challenges that I'm ready to go through.
I wish I could explore this world to the fullest, discover the mysteries waiting to unfold and provide new information about things.
Maybe a hidden place?
I don't know, let's just look ahead.
All I need to do for now is find a way to survive, protect myself and attack in case something bad happens. If I want to be adventurous, I must be ready to prey or become prey, it is already a law of nature. I just need to play in it well.
I got up, dried up using a soft white towel that had been prepared, stepped back into the room and noticed the reflection of my own body on the mirror, it makes me smile a little proud of my achievement after a pretty hard workout.
I am not too tall, just average at 180cm with a body weight reaching 80kg full of muscle sports results since I was 12 years old, I first followed karate for 3 years, then moved to Muay Thai for 5 years and recently studied Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
After walking a few steps (Some! Imagine how big this guest room is!) stay away from the glass to pick up two black earrings on the table.
I went back to the one-body mirror, came a little closer to put the two jewels and felt my white hair feel the length of this hair and whether it should be cut immediately or not.
Satisfied that it was still within reasonable limits, at least for me who preferred short hair, I grabbed the black tunic on the mattress, put it on, then pants, belt and lastly boots.
In the corridor, I checked back on my appearance, trying to convince myself that my appearance had been good, I continued my steps towards the dining room as shown in one of the maids.
Previously, the maid was assigned to take me there, but I asked to walk alone because it felt awkward if it had to be delivered like someone important.
I prefer to walk alone.
Once in the dining room that was even wider than my entire house, Luna seemed to be immersed in a pile of sweet snacks while the papa was waiting for me to eat together.
He watched Luna who ate like someone who had not eaten for 3 days and 3 nights while shaking her head, bewildered to have to say much less to that only daughter to act more like a princess and not like a boy. That way of eating, is really far from the word 'feminim'.
I took a seat across the table, faced the man and waited for food. He clapped his hands, signalling for the maids to enter immediately carrying large trays containing luxury food that I was very sure would be sold expensive and only in five-star restaurants. Without realizing it, I gulped at how much food was prepared, not knowing if I could afford to spend it all, but also not tasty to have to refuse the food that had been given.
"What are you waiting for? You can eat it now" he said, seeing me that he hadn't touched the food.
"Oh, apologize in advance, but if I am allowed to ask, is it safe for someone from a different world to eat the food of this world?" I was curious considering that this world has a flow of mana, most likely in the food there is a flow of mana and I do not want bad things to happen because this body is not ready to receive the flow.
"Hmm, it's a good trait to always be alert, but you also have to remember to draw conclusions from what has happened around, for example, you're still breathing in this world right? Does that not give you an answer to the question you're asking?" Ask back, attacking me with the fact that I should have known since the beginning of the world moved right "Let's eat, we can talk more things with a more fluid atmosphere once the food has filled the stomach"
As soon as the first feed, none of us opened our mouths, only the sound of clinking between the plate and the cutlery was heard. The princess also enjoyed her snacks so excitedly that the adorable face was full of cream cake that actually made it even more funny, but unfortunately I had to refrain from pinching the cheek if I didn't want to lose the hand.
I have no problem eating in this state of silence, I like it even more.
Maybe because I'm used to it.
But I'm also someone who doesn't like to talk when eating especially while watching something. The combination of two things that I like so much that it feels sacred and inviolable or can cause problems.
The princess finished her meal first, left after saying "I'm going back to the room, Ms. Vera has been waiting!" Then run while jumping up and down a little, like a child who is still full of energy.
"Don't forget to clean up!" The papa said before gulping down the red wine from the transparent wine glass, then looking at me "So, what do you want to know? I'm sure you must have so many questions. I will answer, but in exchange, I will ask one thing from you, how? Not a bad offer, is it?"
I don't know why I feel like I'm talking to a business owner and not a military man.
I take a glass, sip the same wine, then nod in hope, hopefully he does not ask for something too difficult or even beyond my ability "Alright, I agree" I reply.
"Your first question, Glory, isn't it?"
He looked out the window, watching the Tower of Fate which was clearly visible from here, considering his mansion was in a hilly area.
"Call it is a shortcut, a shortcut to power. What power are you asking? Whatever you want. Yeah, right, whatever you want.
A pretty dangerous thing, right?
Fortunately, it had a slight weakness, that the resulting power could never defeat pure power, like magic, runes and so on. The power that did come from another world rather than the creation of that shining glass cube"
