《A Misleading Shell》The End of Winter
Advertisement
I woke up with a slight headache, I looked around, Sylvar wasn't in his bed.
he must've already gotten out of bed.
I got up and suddenly a bit of information filled my head.
[Aramisa kingdom; the human kingdom, has an academy called the Saint Aramia Academy, the continent which Aramisa kingdom is in is called Aeyora, the royal family members are known for being strong magicians, and they have blonde hair and blue eyes, the current crown prince is a genius who is said to have as much potential as the royal family's ancestor!

huh?! What is this? I know about the kingdom from the memories, but the extra information about the continent's name and the talk about the current crown prince wasn't something I know of, how do I know that? The information I got was in a language from my original world.
no matter how hard I tried to recall I couldn't.
Another weird thing is that I know the crown prince's name, however I can't make it out, like it's distorted, everytime I try to think of the name my attention drifts away and I can't say the name.
I'm one hundred percent sure now that this world has ties with Earth, what I remembered just now has something about a game and a capture target... so this is a game world? One about dating? I didn't really play any dating games before though... I preferred games with an RPG and adventure setting,
I pinched my cheeks with annoyance, I felt a bit better.
why is the game's name also distorted?
Why did I remember this now of all times? Is it because I heard about the Aramisa kingdom in Walter's memories?
...
I decided it was better not to dwell on the matter because I wasn't making any advancement in remembering anything, I got up, tidied my bed and climed down.
Sylvar was adding wood to the fireplace, which had a pot of soup cooking on it.
"Good morning Sylvar."
"Uhuh, but it isn't morning, it's almost sunset, you've been sleeping for more than two days." He said simply.
"Two days?" I looked out the small window and confirmed the time, "it is really dark out," I turned back to him "I thought I slept for more than two days, the dream was quite long."

"I'm surprised, you sorted those memories in your head very quickly, and there doesn't seem to be any side effects." he examined me.
After making sure I was fine he sat down near the fire and patted the ground next to him "come sit here it's cold."
I went and sat down, we were silent, I felt very calm, the atmosphere with the fire crackling and the silence outside was relaxing.
it's been so long since I felt this comfortable, it reminds me of the time I spent with Grandmother, I used to sit down next to her near the fireplace and I would tell her all about my thoughts and aspirations.
"So how was it? Did you learn anything?" Sylvar suddenly asks, I snapped out of my daydreams.
"It was useful, I learned a lot, but since the royal mage has no attribute in common with me, I didn't learn much about my attributes, I instead have many fire spells in my head."
At the mention of fire spells I couldn't help but be a bit excited.
Blake really likes the fire attribute, doesn't he?
"Is that so? Do you want to continue going through his memories or do you think it's pointless? I only showed you the memories of one magic stone, there is another one."
"I don't think I can handle it, even though it may be a bit useful, I don't want to watch the royal mage being tricked, I would rather not watch the memories and suffer for a bit more knowledge." I hurriedly dismissed his idea.
"Then would you like to learn swordsmanship? I have the memories of their commander, he was one of the best swordsmen and adventurers on the continent."
"Not now, I have a lot of time to stay here with you, I still have to recover, this body is weak and I'm still not used to it, I wouldn't be able to lift a sword to train at all in this condition, I'm not in a hurry to learn it." I said.
"That's true."
"By the way, you don't have the space attribute, so how do you have a space enchanted magic stone? Isn't it rare and hard to get? Also the tree house is bigger on the inside that it is on the outside, does that also have to do with space magic?" I asked.
"I have some friends here and there, one of them happens to have the space attribute, so when I was running away from the Ancient Elves hunt, I asked her for help, she is a Dark Elf, and it was a long time ago, her life span has probably ended." He replied.

"Ah, I see..."
...
"The soup is done."
We didn't talk for a while, Sylvar got up and got two bowls, he filled them and gave one to me.
"Thank you."
He nodded.
"Noah, can you tell me about your original world? I'm very interested in it, from the glimpses I saw in your memories, it's very different from here."
"What do you want to know?"
"How is your everyday life different from here?"
"It's very different, first of all there was no magic, but everything was advanced conveniently and we had no problems with any appliances, and there were no beasts so it was relatively peaceful, unless war breaks out between humans, there were no smart races other than humans..........."
Sylvar's eyes were sparkling as we talked about Earth, he asked me all types of questions, he was especially interested in games, we talked for hours as we had nothing else urgent to do, and I couldn't help but feel closer to Sylvar, he was friendly and kind, he treated me normally and didn't seem to care about my lack of expression.
"Oh my! I got carried away, it's already midnight, we should get up and sleep." Sylvar got up and went upstairs after putting out the fireplace, I followed after him, and we lay down in our beds, I slept almost immediately.
even though I have been sleeping for two days, this 8 years old body wouldn't say no to sleep huh?
I woke up the next day early, I made breakfast, attempted to wake up Sylvar; he didn't, so I ate breakfast alone and did some exercise and some stretching.
I have to maintain good physical shape, having to walk and do manual stuff is common in this world, so having good shape would come in handy, especially if I wanted to learn swordsmanship.
I also started filling my gem core which had been abandoned by me for a while, it turned out my affinity to space was the strongest, followed by sound, wind, water, fog then wood.
Sylvar said I had an incredibly potent gem core because I could store a lot of mana, it would also mature as my body matures.
The day ended
The storage room had fabric in it and a sewing kit, apparently, Sylvar liked to make clothes, so I asked Sylvar to teach me, he agreed and we made new clothes with the fabric and fur we had, I desperately needed clothes, my clothes weren't warm and they were worn out from exploring the forest for so long, so the new clothes were welcomed by me.
So we spent a couple of days making clothes.
I also started to go out with Sylvar to hunt, I learned how to make traps and he teached me about other beasts than horned rabbits, he told me that there is a place far away in the forest where other demonic beasts lived, and that I shouldn't approach it
My magic practice was going well, I could use magic to cast basic spells I saw in Walter's memories, however my progress was slow and I didn't test the ideas I had in mind, because I was focusing on physical training and things such as hunting more, magic in this world was versatile, you can use it to do pretty much anything, I would love to dedicate my time to learn magic, as it is something I am very interested in, however I felt like if I relied on magic for everything I would be lacking, and if there was a situation where magic happens to not work, then I'd use the skills I learned to fix the problem.
I was starting to feel better about this new life, and satisfying days passed by, I used my time to the fullest extent and I didn't feel overworked, infact I was always excited for the next day, because this whole experience felt new and fresh for me, it was like playing a game, but it was real life.
The only thing bugging me was the information I got about the crown prince and him being a capture target, I tried to tell Sylvar but he couldn't read anything related to it in my memories, I decided to forget the matter for now, until I get another clue or remember anything I won't make a break through, so I won't waste time on it.
As days passed the weather started to get warmer, and Winter came to an end.
It was now Spring!
