(Chapter 4 Forest of Lila)

A knock can be heard by the large circle window on Xarth's room naturally it was Ernoul knocking by the window.


Xarth slowly walked towards the window and opened it Ernoul came in and bowed at Xarth before speaking.


"Good evening Hyung-nim."


"Same to you.Now that your here let's proceed to our mission."


Ernoul looked at Xarth's face with a confuse look Xarth ignored Ernoul's face. 


Xarth throwed the spatial bag to Ernoul's but sadly he didn't catch it Xarth started to frowned.

Ernoul slowly crouched down getting the spatial bag at the floor.


Xarth patted Ernoul shoulder before standing up.


"I'll explain the mission." Xarth said with a cold gaze in his eyes.


Ernoul just nodded his head and listened to Xarth's explanation.


"So first will need to go out at the back gate of the manor then we'll ride our horses to go to the Forest of Lila I'll explain the rest on the way first wear this robe and mask Well go through the balcony."


Ernoul took the robe and the mask off Xarth's hands. And quickly wore it.


They quickly gone down the window using the curtains that was blocking the moonlight. 


Xarth looked through the surrounding before quietly going to the Horse stall to meet Bern who was there as assign by Xarth.


"Good evening Young master are you going out now?"


"Yes don't let anyone know that I'm out this late I'll come back later at early morning."


"Yes Young master I'll make sure of it."


Bern goes and prepared the horse that Ernoul and Xarth will be using.


The horse was quite majestic looking with it's white fur glowing elegantly underneath the bright moonlight it was Xarth's horse while Ernoul's horse has black fur with a muscular body giving off a majestic vibe.


'Ho!..This is the first I'll ride a horse and really a pretty boy as well like his master.'


Xarth took the leash off Bern's hand before walking out the back gate of the manor and casually got on the horse.


"By the way Bern."


"Yes Young master?"


"Everything that's happening right now will be kept secret between us here.So I better not hear any talk regarding me going out this late or else your dead."


Bern flinched at those savage and vicious words that came out of the Young master and just nodded his head.


Xarth took out his Spare spatial bag and took out the Map of the Forest.


"Okay let's go Ha!"


Xarth and Ernoul started to move through the path heading toward the forest.


Even though it was night time the place was quite bright because of the moon shining brightly.


In the novel the method that Zero used was simply him pulling out the Drunken blade out of it's platform but only the reader knows this other method it was already hinted at the name of the sword 'The Drunken Blade' as it name suggest the sword is a f*cking alcoholic so naturally we will have to satisfy it's thirst that it had for a 1000 years.


'By giving it a lot of Wine but I had Bern buy the finest wine in town for extra measure.'


Xarth looked at the map he had marked down the spot where the novel describe where the waterfall was located.


Xarth and Ernoul was almost at the inner part of the forest when they suddenly heard people talking and slowed down for a minute.


Two people could be heard talking.


"When are we going back?"


"I don't know dude!"


"I was just asking you don't have to be so pissed."


"Sorry I'm just mad at one of the blue claws."


"Why though?"


"Because they have a lot of privileged and they never gone out in any mission isn't that unfair?"


Xarth was listening to the two black robed man while observing their appearance he could see a Red claw symbol by their chest Xarth soon realize who were this people.


'Just my luck why the hell are they here? Won't they be at the capital? And what's with the blue claws that they were talking about is it a higher rank than theirs.Hm...'


Xarth then could feel someone tugging his clothes Xarth looked toward the one pulling his clothes naturally it was Ernoul.


Ernoul then started to speak in a quiet manner.


"Hyung-nim what are we gonna do?"


"Hm.."


Xarth started to think again.


'In Ernoul's level can he take out those dudes? Well it's worth trying and I'll also loot them clean hahahaha!'


Ernoul saw Xarth's mouth starting to curl up into a twisted smile Ernoul started to have a bad feeling.


Xarth quietly whispered to Ernoul's ear.


"Let's take them out and loot them."


Ernoul flinch at what he had heard and quickly looked back at Xarth's face with the same twisted smile still there.


Xarth continued to Whisper to him.


"You go first distract them I'll hit them at the back of their heads."


Xarth said before letting out a quiet chuckle.


Ernoul nodded his head and took out his wooden sword even though it was a wooden sword it can kill someone because of the one handling it.


Ernoul quickly took off from the trees they were hiding on Xarth also quietly ran to the other side.


Ernoul let out a loud yell to gain the attention of the enemies.


The two black robed man stood up after hearing the loud yell they took out their swords and quickly rush toward Ernoul.


*Swoosh


Ernoul was doing a good job keeping up with the two robed mans.


While he was distracting someone was moving quietly on the back of the enemies naturally it was Xarth.


Xarth then waited at the right moment to strike the man closest to him he had a rock for a weapon which is pretty dangerous if your really gonna hit em on the head. But Xarth ignored that as these people were enemies.


At that moment Xarth saw the opening that Ernoul gave him, Ernoul pushed the man on the left luckily the man's balance was disrupted. 


Xarth rush in and Smack! He had hit the back of the head of the man and has fallen his face flat on the ground.


The other man looked at his colleague that has fallen but that was the wrong move to do that gave Ernoul an opportunity to strike.


*Swoosh


Ernoul rushed at the man who was attention elsewhere He raised his sword stabbing him 3 times at every vital spot.


"UGH!!" 


The man staggered from the pain and slowly fell down on his Ass hitting the ground Ernoul pointed his wooden sword at the man who was sitting at the ground.


The man raised his hands stating that he was surrending Xarth pulled out a rope from his Spatial bag and gave it to Ernoul.


"Tie them up!"


"Yes Hyung-nim."


Ernoul took the rope and tied the two man by the tree where they were hiding from Before.


Xarth looked through the camp site that the two man he could see a bag by the tent he elegantly walked towards and took it.


He started to open the bag...the bag was filled with gold coin and jewelry.


'Lucky more money for me!'


Xarth closed the bag and quickly place it inside his Spatial bag there was also two extra sword by the bag it seems pretty useful so Xarth also took it. Before coming back to where the enemies were tied up.


"Who are you people?"


Asked the conscious man.


"Do you think you have any authority here asking questions?"


The man could see the cold eyes on the person who was wearing a mask he could feel a great amount of fear from this man.


He just gulped and remained silence.


'Hmm...Good response.'


"So I'll be the asking questions now cause I have the authority."


"......"


"What are you doing here?"


"....."


"Hoho! keeping silence ey. Well it's a good response if I were in the same position as yours i will do the same but you shouldn't to that to me."


The man looked toward the masked man his arrogant words made the man aware of his position.


"Okay I will ask again. What are you doing here?

It's a pretty easy question Right?"


The man gulped before speaking.


"We were camping here."


'Well it's obvious I bet these people are one of those that had escaped the village and will be regrouping to the capital Selene.'


"Oh I guess that's made Sense."


Xarth said annoyingly cheerful remark.


"What are you planning to do to us?"


"I told you before right you don't have any authority to ask questions."


Xarth replied in a Stern voice meanwhile Ernoul was just tilting his head in confusion such a Young master like Xarth could talk so savagely.


"......"


'Damn it who the hell are these two people I've never noticed them. Based on the strength of the other masked dude he's probably a higher grade swordsman.But the one talking right now i don't know whether his a Swordsman or a Mage but the pressure he gives off is that of a Ruler.'


"Oh yeah I forgot could you strip?"


The man who was looking at the ground quickly looked toward the masked man the word that came out of the man's mouth was like thunder roaring in a stormy night.


The man unconsciously let out a loud Scoff


"I forgot your hands are tied guess I'll do it."


'Ahhh! This dude is a pervert.'


Ernoul watches as the Young master took off the robe off on the person's body Xarth only took off their robes because he thought it could be useful for the future events.


As he had taken off the two robe from these man he walked majestically to Ernoul and whispered to his Ear.


"Kill them off."


Ernoul flinch the vicious words that the Young master has ordered him to do he froze up and couldn't move.


Xarth looked at Ernoul whoose face was stiff Xarth immediately understood what the face had meant.


'I guess he's still a kid I know this is reality but I can not help but think that the people here aren't real because your all people inside a novel I wonder if I die here Could I return to my own world?'


Xarth erased his thoughts and patted Ernoul shoulder Xarth took out his the spare sword and quickly Swang his sword at the neck of the enemies.


The head of the two people rolled coldy to the ground.


Ernoul was shocked that the Young master of a Count household to be so merciless kill two man without even batting a sweat.


He casually cleaned the blade that was stained with blood and got on up on his horse.


'Hmm...Even killing people I didn't feel anything I guess I'm stuck up at the thought that this is still inside of a novel.'


"Let's go!"


"Yes Hyung-nim."


They proceed to go to the inner part of the forest on the way they fought off monster before arriving at the waterfall. 


It was late at night the moonlight was reflecting by the small pound of the waterfall.

The waterfall was Glowing bright Blue it's light,Lights up the surroundings of it.


"Woah Hyung-nim what is that?"


"Our loot."


Xarth mouth started to crawl up.


'So that's the cave it's much brighter than I had expected. So why has no one has discovered it? Well considering it's location I guess no one will find it. It's inside the inner part of the Forest where monsters roam freely. But if Zero had gone through here all the monsters would have been wiped out.'


"Loot? What's in there Hyung-nim?"


"You'll see...Let's go."


Ernoul nodded his head they start preparing the items that can be used to climb up Rocks Xarth had prepared it while Bern was out buying Wine.


'Let's see if my rock climbing skill is still preserve here in the novel.'


(Chapter 5 Drunken Blade)


Xarth and Ernoul started to climb the waterfall as they slowly ascend Ernoul was astonish by the Young master's rock climbing skill he had almost left Ernoul at the bottom of the waterfall.


'Is the Hyung-nim really a Young master his movement is of those that had climb rocks for a long time.I over heard maid chatting saying that the Young master had never trained anything in his entire life.But the way he swung the sword that cleanly took off the two head was not a feat that can be easily done he looked as if he had done it before.The blow was a perfect cut he sliced it off like butter that's how strong he is on the inside unlike his outside appearance.In the outside he just looked like a flower boy with a pretty face..'


Xarth felt chills on his spine


'Is someone talking about me?'


They now have reached the part where the water was glowing brightly ,they stepped in through the Flowing water causing them to get wet.


The cave was quite spacious with torches of blue flames by the walls and and at the center of it all was the gold platform where the sword Is placed.


Xarth walked toward it soon followed by Ernoul they can see a gray blade with it's reddish brown handle with an accent of gold and there was also a book by the Sword.


Xarth gaze was on the book not the sword.


'I've never recall there was a book when Zero had found the drunken blade?'


The book has collected dust Xarth took the book off of the gold platform he started to blow on the book and slightly patted it.


The book was surprisingly in good condition no in great condition you can't even tell that this book has been here for a really long time.  


'Hmm...Seems interesting I'll read it later seems like this is a journal or a diary.'


Xarth quickly tossed the book aside to his spatial bag and quickly headed his gaze at the dull looking sword.


"Hyung-nim is that what we were looking for to get?"


"Yes."


"It looks shabby and the blade looks like it's about to crumble any moment."


"Well just watch and see,Step back."


Ernoul quietly stepped back and had his gaze focused on Xarth.


Xarth took out the Other Spatial bag and he slowly reached out one bottle of the Highest grade wine.


Ernoul was confuse to what his Hyung-nim's doing.


'Is he thinking of drinking!?'


His thoughts slowly clouded over when he saw the Young master as he aggressively poured the wine over the shabby sword it was at this moment the sword started to glow a red light like The color of Blood.


*Shinngg


'Ah wine... It's been a long time since I've had this.'


The Shabby blade started to absorb the wine being damped on it.A voice that came out of nowhere resonated to Xarth's head.


Xarth flinch upon hearing the voice.


'What who said that!?'


He looked over throughout the room but there was only Ernoul and him in here he couldn't possibly not notice someone coming in inside the cave. 


He has now emptied the first bottle of wine.


'Hey!! Is that all? Give me more!!'


Xarth's eyes stopped looking around and was directly looking at the sword whoose point of the blade started to change in color.


'Im pretty sure it's the sword that's talking who else could it be? Other than the sword he mention about wine clearly his the one drinking the wine.'


"Coming right up!"


Ernoul was lost at words now that his Hyung-nim is talking to himself and even wasting perfectly good wine.


He continued to open up bottle after another and quickly pouring it over the Sword. The sword then swiftly absorb the wine.


Finally it was the last bottle it had been almost 5 hours Xarth when he started to pour out all the wine.


The sword then spoke again.


'Ah what a generous Young man. I'm completely satisfied.'


Xarth ignored the sword's comment and then proceed on opening the last wine while Xarth was pouring it the sword then chimed in again.


'I was a Swordsmaster that served the Mappa Kingdom on the Eastern Continent I've done all their orders but never got the chance to have time with my family.'


Xarth continued pouring the wine while listening to the rumble of the sword.


'I betrayed the Mappa Kingdom because their doing some kind of forbidden rituals. My wife and kids was all killed due to my foolishness of betraying the kingdom.They chased me down until I got here on the Southern continent leading here in this cave, this is where I found my final resting place well either way i left the sword here waiting for a worthy person to continue on my will you are a worthy person cause your like me an alcoholic maniac. By the way where the f*** did you get this high quality wine!?'


Xarth flincht at the swearing of the owner of the sword.


'The hell!? i thought it is just wrote that the sword wouldn't be able to communicate with someone Zero didn't even hear this voice when it took he took the sword.'


Xarth sighed and responded to the question of the sword.


"I'm rich it's none of your concern where i got it."


Xarth replied with a cold tone.


'Tch...So stingy anyway thanks it was soo good!.'


Xarth has poured all the wine the red light on the sword started to disappear revealing a crimson blood blade that reflects the moonlight.


Xarth took the sword out of the platform easily he the started to inspect it. the blade of the sword was shining brightly under the moonlight through the waterfall into the cave.there was carving on the blade with different text the handle of the sword was kind of wood with accent of red on the brown base.


Xarth started to swing the sword.


"It's much lighter than i expected."


The man at the side of the cave was completely lost to what was happening right now.


'Am i ok i just saw young master talking to himself and wasting  highest tier wine? And that shabby looking sword started to look decent but it's blade is color red which is surprisingly rare and unique.'


"I'm sorry Ernoul that took a while."


"it's ok Young master but i would like to ask what happened to that sword?"


"As i've said you just need to watch and see now this Sword turned to a blood shade color because of the wine that i poured on it."


"....."


"I guess you're confused i'll explain it later for now let's go back to the manor."


"Okay Hyung-nim."


Took out his spatial bag and threw in the sword and started to climb down the waterfall they safely managed to descent down the rocky wall.

they walked through the forest and untie the rope of the horses on the tree.


He started to caress  the horse and slowly got on and rode the horse through the forest once again.

They managed to get out of the forest without injuries or scratches on their bodies.


After they got out of the forest the sun slowly started to rise up and Xarth can see the sunrise on the tall mountain,sunlight started to shine towards Xarth. He use his pale hands to block the light.


'This.....really is another world, i wonder what will happen to my body on the other side? Could I really go back?...'


Xarth let out a sigh they continue on to go to Count' Barrow's mansion they use the back of the mansion so no one could see them sneakly coming in.


At the front of the small gate there was someone is eating and sleeping at the same time. He had a black suit,brown hair and was drooling on his left cheek.


Xarth got off his horse and slowly walked towards the man sleeping while dragging the the horse's leash.


'look at this dude guess his pretty tired.'


He then patted the man's shoulder, the man slowly opened his eyes to see someone staring at him he quickly stood up as he realize it was the Young master Xarth.


"Young master your back welcome back! Young master i've done all the things you've told me."

Bern with a smile on his face.


Xarth frowned at him and pointed out the dried drool on Bern's left cheek.


'Huh!? what is a pointing at?'


That was what Bern's face was saying, Xarth let out a sigh he then gave the horse leash to Bern.


"Ernoul rest well.later this afternoon go to my room I have some explaining to do right?"


"Yes Hyung-nim You too rest well."


"Thanks I'll head on now."


He started to go in the gate and swiftly gone to his room and plop down on his bed while the clothes he has on was still wet then he started to strip down and bathed on the bathroom after bathing he placed a towel on his waist and gone on out of the bathroom.


'Ha! I forgot my clothes. How am i gonna get clothes? Oh! I forgot I'll just call in the maid.'


Xarth walked over to the door beside the door there was a golden rope he pulled it then it let out a sharp *Cling


Someone then started to knock on the door.


"Come in"


The door opened coming in a girl with blue hair on a maid outfit.


'I can feel the fantasy world now that there is a maid outfit.'


The girl bowed and waited for his orders.


"Get me casual clothes and breakfast."


The girl nodded her head and left the room.


Xarth sat down on the sofa and waited for the maid while thinking about some stuff.


'I wonder what's written on the book i've never read a chapter where Zero saw a book by the sword maybe someone got the there before Zero but never able to get the Drunken Blade instead he took the book. Hmmm... Nevermind that, that day is slowly approaching the incident that will happen in the capital despite  the mc appearance there was still a lot of casualties many nobles and citizens got hurt or got killed still how can i minimize the count of casualties while not affecting the plot of the story'


Then someone started to knock on the door.


"Come in"


Xarth stood up and walked towards the girl who was coming in the girl bowed and gave the clothes to Xarth she then started to speak.


"Young master after you've put on your clothes ring the bell again so i can bring over your breakfast."


"Okay you can go now."


The girl left the room....Xarth put on his clothes meanwhile on the other side of the door.


'Kyaaaaa!! Omg Young master Xarth was so handsome even his body was great.'


She was screaming internally.


'Ehem even though his attitude is bad his the most beautiful man i have ever seen in my life those bright platinum hair,blue deep eyes ,pale skin and that ripped body Ahh!!.'


I'm Emily a maid in Count Barrow's mansion 1 year ago i was working a job on the street when the Count Barrows brought me in after that i was assigned to laundry duty. When I was hanging the clothes and the blanket. my gaze stopped at the tree on the hill there was someone napping under the tree i was curious to see who was that so i walked over there to see a handsome man loudly sleeping with the leaf on his head. He was perfect the pose, the angle, lightning and of course the man everything i was smitten by him and that was the first time i've met Young master Xarth. Compared to his brother Young master Harold Young master Xarth is more attractive.


The bell rang again Emily snapped out of it and brought in the cart with soup and bread and a cup of freshly brewed peppermint tea. Xarth is already dressed and was sitting on the couch, Emily quietly set his meal on the table and he started to eat.


'Man his hair is still wet those water drip are hella sexy'


Xarth ignored the maid who was staring at him while eating.


'Girl your gonna make a hole on my face by the way your staring at me.'


Xarth continued to eat after putting down his spoon he started to ask the maid.


"Hey what's your name?"


"Oh young master i'm Emily i was just assigned today on serving you."


"Okay Emily can you tell me the day today?"


"Yes young master its the year 324 day 5th of march."


'So the concept of date are the same in the novel.Well this novel is created by a fellow Earthling. Wait the date today is 5th of march year 324 hmm...if I remembered it correctly there are 4 more days before the birthday of the king that means the incident will likely take place at the beginning of his speech. And if i'm correct my eldest brother will be the one representing the Count Barrows household. Just to be sure let's go ask the Count.'


"Emily take me to the Count."


Emily nodded her head, He stood up and followed behind Emily. The office of the Count was in the second floor of the mansion the same floor where Xarth's room is. Emily knock on the door before speaking.


"Master Richard Young master Xarth wishes to have some of your time."


"Let him in."


Emily opened the door for Xarth, Xarth nodded his head and signaled Emily to go Emily once again bowed and headed back to Xarth's room to clean the meal he had finished.


He came into the room the Count's room was very elegant and clean you can't even see a small speck of dust. The room has a very beautiful interior Black table,couch that looks like it has a very comfortable cushion. And at the middle was Count working on some paperworks.


Xarth stood in front of the Count,the Count then signaled him to take a seat on the couch.


Xarth looked at the face of the Count he looked very tired his complexion was pale and he had dark circles under his eyes.


'He looks tired that's the same look I have if we were rushing the publication of a book. Must be hard maintaing a large territory.'


Xarth was staring intently at the Count and had forgotten why he came here.


The count put down his pen and started to clasp his hands and looked right at Xarth.


"Xarth what is it your going to tell me?" The Count asked with a forceful smile on his face he was clearly tired and exhausted he had never left the room for a whole day now and didn't even take any sleep and there's still a mountain of paper on the the Work desk of the Count.


Xarth snapped out of it.


"Good morning Father there's some thing's that I'll liked to ask?"


"You too So what is it? I'm all ears."


"Father who's going to represent us for the upcoming celebration for his highness?"


"It's your eldest brother why you want to tag along too?" Asked the Count Xarth replied in a direct tone.


"Yes i just want to enjoy the capital i've never been out of the territory before."


The Count started to think.


'Its true i've never let him out of the territory nor did i let him attends a noble party he is a troublesome child so it can't be helped but these days he behaves well hmm... If i let him Harold will be for sure there with him so he just need to make sure that his younger brother won't cause a scene.'


The Count has made his decision.


"Alright i'll let you go in one condition you must be well behaved and you will be with your brother Harold all times."


"Yes father i thank you for your benevolence and this opportunity."  Xarth bowed his head to the Count.


The Count then said something more.


"You will leave tomorrow morning pack all the things you will need. And are you in need of money? I'll give you another cheque."


"I do Thank you Father."


The Count handed Xarth a small piece of paper he looked at the numbers written on the paper it has more zero than the one he had given to him earlier.


'Woah this is....The first time I have seen so many zero in a bill in my whole life. Are we really that rich!?'


Even though the Count Barrows territory was a Martial Household they are also known for their jewels,gems and their Mines they had the largest production of gems so that explains the wealth of the Count Barrows Territory.


_________________________________________

(Chapter 6 Preparation)

Xarth bowed his head and went out of the Count's office while walking through the hallway Xarth sorted out his thoughts.


'i'll need some stuff to protect me on the upcoming incident i guess i'll buy some highiest grade magic scroll barrier so at least i could save myself and some people while the mc was not yet there but where do i buy it.....!?'


Xarth started to looked at every nack and cranny of his memories regarding the story in the novel.


'Ah ha! I remembered there was a black market on the Capital so if we leave tomorrow we'll have to ride the carriage for 2 days so I have about 2 more days to prepare all the stuff that I'll need.'


The novel pretty much explained it,the black market was on the Capital of the Messiah Kingdom Selene the black market was where they auction or sell magic scrolls,Artifacts and other rare stuff. It works like this, the one who bids the highest on an item will of course get it cause they paid the highest the novel also explained what you need to do in order to get inside. It's a must to wear a robe and a mask to keep your identity classified you will also need a letter to enter it but I won't need it since the nobles who goes to the black market is automatically permitted to enter and will be seated at the VIPs section. 


'I'll need to get a lot of magic scrolls to protect myself. You see I hate the feeling of in pain who wouldn't? it's either your a Lunatic or a Masochist!!'


Xarth came into his room and started pulling on the golden rope by it.


A bell rang and you can here quick footsteps walking towards Xarth naturally it was the servant Bern.


Bern came in with a cheerful smile on his face.


'These days the young master is well behaved so it's fine not to be cautious around him anymore.'


"Young master Xarth what is it?"


"I need you to pack 5 days worth of clothes a robe and a mask that two items you will need to bring them to me without any one knowing."


"Yes Young master then i'll prepare the things."


Bern bowed and quickly ran out of the room it was already noon but Xarth had not yet had any sleep he plop down on the bed because he decided to sleep as he was tired of dealing with all the things that had happened this evening.


He slowly closed his eyes...


*WHOOOSHH


*WHOOOSHH


He could felt a strong breeze grazing him then he slowly opened his eyes. 


Xarth could see a familiar ceiling, he quickly sat up and looked around with a surprised look on his face.


'T-This...My house!?'


'Huh! Does this means i came back to my world!?'


'Or am I just hallucinating?'


Lee Son stood up and walked to the livng room there he saw the book that he had placed on top of the table. He quickly grab the first volume of the book and started to read it. Lee Son now has a fresh memory on what was about to happen in the volume one of the book slowly after reading it the room started to disperse from his sight all he can see was pitch black nothing else it's like your in space.


Then a white light orb shines brightly through the dark room Lee Son followed the light but was woken up by one of the maid Emily.


Xarth started to feel weight on his shoulder shaking him and slowly opening his eyes to see Emily smiling at him. 


"Young master it's already dinner i have set the dinner on the table please eat."


Said Emily with a bright smile on her face Xarth slowly seated up and started to think at what he had seen on the dream before being interrupted by Emily.


'That was a dream!?.....my house....the book in the dream i read it the volume one of The Conquest of Zero ......but what was that light at the end when my house suddenly disappeared.'


Xarth scratch his head and wiped his eyes and mouth before slowly standing up and walking to the table where Emily had placed the food.


Dinner consists of chicken with mashed potato on the side and a red sauce.


'Ha!....it never cease to amaze me that i get to eat food like this every single day ahhh... I miss ramen.'


He started to eat, he was still sleepy after a few hours of sleep he ended up eating all of it and has a satisfied look on his face Emily then went on an cleaned the table before leaving the room.


Xarth took out his spatial bag and brought out the book and the sword. The the sword still looked the same he started to hold it and swang it around for a few times suddenly a voice resonated inside his head.


'Hey what's your name i forgot to ask?'


Xarth flinched and put the sword close to his face and started to speak.


"You! You're still here....inside the sword!?"


'Huh? Yes i've never said that i'm going away so hey what's your name?'


"It's Xarth"


'Just Xarth...you look like a noble now that i can see you clearly. Don't you have a last name?'


"I am indeed a nobleman."


'I knew it i was right you just want me to call you Xarth.'


Xarth just nodded his head because he doesn't want to argue with the sword cause it was loud.


'I like you! you're different from the other noble you're not prideful and you even gone through the forests without guards and even climb a mountain then got wet.'


"Yeah okay...so there's something I want ask you?"


'Sure what is it?'


"The book beside the sword what's in it?'


'See for yourself.'


'Tch!'


"Fine i'll read it tomorrow when we will set on to the capital."


The sword didn't talk anymore at that time.Xarth gaze headed towards the book, the book looks really decent now that you can see it underneath the light. The book's base was colored blue and has a crest imprinted on the middle that Xarth or Lee Son had never seen.


'What's this crest i've never seen it before. Well in most novel fantasy world this just mean it's important better look on to it maybe it has something to do with the plot. I've only just read the 3 volume of the novel so the chances of other calamity happening in the future are high and a lot of people will get involved even other continent will get involved.'
