Episode 5 – There is no paradise where you escape and reach (3)
“It’s okay, Sian. Everything will be fine.”
Xian’s mother, Cecil, said to Xian.
A warm smile appeared on her face.
Xian smiled and thought.
oh, this is a dream
Xian’s mother died in childhood.
This is a dream from when my mother was still alive.
At first, I was more than happy.
But now it’s calm enough to know at once that it’s a lucid dream.
‘Cause I’ve been dreaming too much
“Mommy it’s okay. Because we have Xian, Mom doesn’t nod.”
Cecile always lived by saying that it was okay.
So I thought Xian was fine.
But no.
It wasn’t okay.
Xian still cannot forget the image of his mother who turned into a cold corpse.
It was more painful and difficult than anyone else, but it was something I couldn’t say.
It just couldn’t.
So Xian knew.
Although young Xian at the time did not know.
The Xian in the dream now knew.
“It’s okay. Everything will be fine.”
Those were the words she said to Cecile, not to Xian, but to herself.
Xian smiled bitterly.
Dreams are truly savage.
If you think it’s worth forgetting, you bring out that memory.
“draft. Love people, have pity and be for them. This is how Xian can live like an aristocrat.”
Mom can’t do it…
In Xian’s memory, Cecil was very wise.
To the extent that she could not be considered a mere commoner or maid.
“yes. I will definitely do that.”
Xian hugged Cecile tightly.
Cecile looked slightly surprised.
Soon after, Bashishi, her smile is very beautiful.
A look you will never see again.
Now is the time to wake up slowly.
A dream was a dream after all, and it is an irreversible past.
Now it is a dull and dull emotion.
It’s just firmly embedded in your chest.
A dream flows like a dream.
Soon, the rich mind returns.
“mmm…”
Xian opened his eyes feeling a dizzying headache.
stupid mind.
Consciousness returned, but the mind was still hazy.
Xian couldn’t come to his senses for a moment and wriggled a few times.
Then, staggeringly, he got up from his seat.
Fortunately, his physical condition was not greatly affected.
Things scratched here and there while running away.
A wound inflicted by a goblin.
A sprained joint in a fall.
Other than these, there were no injuries.
“Is it okay?”
Well, where are you not dead?
Xian shrugged once.
Memories from before the fainting soon came flooding back.
Xian took a quick breath and waited for a while.
It was none other than the voice I heard before I lost my mind.
It was because I wanted to hear that voice again.
But no matter how long I waited, the voice didn’t come out anymore.
“hmm.”
Xian slowly looked around.
Explosion, inside the collapsed cave.
It was inside a dark cave, but a small light was leaking from one corner of the field of view.
It was shining like a signpost telling me to come this way.
“Should I go?”
Xian moved without much hesitation.
When we reached the end, what we saw was a wide, empty cavity.
And the altar in the center.
There was something small on the altar.
The light that had been leaking out was coming from none other than that.
Xian slowly approached the altar.
Xian, who had approached right in front of him, stared at the thing placed on the altar.
Something rectangular about the size of the palm of your hand.
It was something that looked like an elaborate magic tool…
[Smart Phone]
Below the altar was written:
Xian tilted his head.
“What did you write?”
I had no idea what that meant.
It was also because this was not a character that Xian knew.
To be precise, it was not a continental common language.
“Rune?”
To say that, the appearance was quite different.
The language used by wizards, rune.
Of course, Xian couldn’t claim to know the rune language well.
But I’ve seen it, and it didn’t look like this.
Right then.
In an instant, the letters distorted and began to take on new forms.
After a while, a new type of letter, the common language of the continent, was completed.
[Smartphone]
“Smartphone?”
What is this?
Xian still had no idea what he was talking about.
Smartphone.
I swear it was the first word I heard in my life.
“On the outside, it looks like a magic tool…”
A magical tool that is said to be the culmination of sorcery.
Xian slowly reached out for his smartphone.
Whoa!
Then, a bright light burst from the smartphone.
Xian instantly let go of his outstretched hand.
This was because the light was being absorbed toward the hand touching the smartphone.
However, the light continued like a spider’s web and continued to be absorbed by Xian’s hands.
“What, what is it?”
For a while, I felt embarrassed.
Soon all the light is absorbed.
Tring!
In an instant, a cheerful notification sound came from the smartphone.
And then something came up on the smartphone screen.
《Measure causality suitable for new managers.》
《Measuring…》
.
.
.
“complete!”
《Do you want to install mobile lord?》
“Mobile… lord?”
Xian was dumbfounded at the sudden progress.
Xian rummaged through his smartphone to check.
However, I couldn’t do anything beyond that notification window.
“Should I press this button?”
Xian pressed the install button after a moment’s thought.
Then, tyring again! A beep sounds and the screen changes.
《Thank you for installing Mobile Lords!》
.
.
.
.
《Loding····.》
.
.
《Synchronizing the information of the territory…》
《Checking administrator…》
.
.
.
《Synchronization and confirmation complete!》
《Welcome to the mobile lord!》
The screen changed again.
What was shown on the changed screen was a devastated land and burning vegetation.
A strange voice came from between them.
《A thousand years ago, a great crisis came to the world. demon invasion. The world is burning due to the invasion of powerful demons…
“What is it all of a sudden?”
Xian literally wanted something like this.
《The people gathered their strength to fight against it, but the demon god’s power was too much…》
Apart from Xian’s feelings, the screen on the smartphone changed and the voice continued to flow.
Xian looked around at his smartphone, ignoring the screen and voice being transmitted.
Right then.
《Are you sure you want to skip the story?》
“Skip the story?”
Do I have to press this to proceed?
Xian pressed the skip button that looked similar to the install button.
That moment.
“I’m sorry! It’s a story that the deliverer prepared while wrapping his head!”
“But it’s okay! Originally, the story of the game is meant to be skipped!”
《Above all, you can re-watch the skipped story anytime!》
《If you are curious about it later, please come and see it!》
Soon after, the screen changed.
So little time passed.
Tring!
Along with the sound of the notification, a notification window with a fairly long message appeared on the screen.
『[Tutorial Quest] – ‘This is my territory…?’
→You are the first to take office in the Ruben estate.
Exciting! Tight and tight! Biceps!
I came to the territory while staying up all night with a trembling heart…
oh my gosh!
This is Youngji! It’s a monster den!
A group of monsters almost occupied the territory!
As a lord, I can’t stand still!
Defeat the hordes of monsters threatening Ruben’s territory!』
＜Reward – Territory Management System Open＞
“… what else is this?”
Xi’an’s astonishment ascended to heaven in an instant.
#
Xian’s ascension was able to return quickly.
However, the spirit that went out with Hei returned a little later.
Is it because of that?
“A tutorial quest?”
I couldn’t figure out what it was!
“What is this?”
Xian stared blankly at the screen of the smartphone that came to mind.
first.
Is it this smartphone or what.
I couldn’t figure out what this was doing.
Of course, there were guesses.
A kind of magic tool.
The sorcery tools, which are called the culmination of sorcery, easily cross the boundaries of common sense.
Therefore, it is safe to say that this smartphone is also a type of magic tool.
however.
“How do you know I came as the lord of the Ruben estate?”
It wasn’t to this extent.
To be precise, it wasn’t enough to read people’s memories.
It would be possible if someone had entered that information in advance, but…
Xian’s becoming the lord of Ruben had been decided just a few days ago.
“But how in the world… ah?”
Suddenly, Xian remembered the notification window that had popped up a moment ago.
‘Sync and check complete!’
synchronization.
“Surely you synchronized information about me?”
It was impossible.
I could tell you this.
Of course, Xian couldn’t say he knew magic science well.
Still, while staying in the family of Ellandur, he was able to come into contact with many magic tools, even if they were far away.
I’ve never used it, but…
well, anyway.
I’m sure Xian had never seen a magic tool like this before.
A magic tool that synchronizes people’s information.
I had never even heard of such a magical tool.
The moment when that is possible in the first place.
It could no longer be called a ‘magical tool’.
Artifact.
It was the realm of artifacts, which are called the ultimate in sorcery.
However, the artifact was lost a thousand years ago.
Numerous sorcerers tried to reproduce the artifact, but it was impossible.
Things that were made a thousand years ago just continue and remain like remnants.
Literally lost a thousand years ago—.
“for a moment.”
Xi’an’s thoughts stopped for a moment.
When you first entered the cave.
It was because he remembered the strange voice he had heard.
‘Call Arnaise.’
Arnaiz.
Called the ‘Six Arnaises’, they were heroes who saved the world a thousand years ago.
Heroes in mythology who defended the current continent against the invasion of demons.
‘Error: There is no arnaise that can respond.’
It was a natural story.
The Arnaises all died a thousand years ago.
Now, a thousand years have passed since the time when they were active.
Being alive didn’t make sense.
Could it be because of that?
That was the voice I heard afterwards.
‘Search for new managers based on causality.’
With those words, the cave collapsed,
Xi’an is now here.
“therefore···.”
Xian calmly organized the thoughts that came to his mind.
And one conclusion reached.
“I became the new manager?”
What about this smartphone?
It was so if you judged only by looking at the circumstances before and after.
“Hmm…”
Xian was lost in thought for a moment.
So little time passed.
“Let’s move on for now.”
Xian decided not to worry too much.
He wasn’t sure of everything either.
It was just passing through.
Is this smartphone a magic tool or an artifact?
Is Arnaise the Arnaise that Xian thinks of?
Not everything was clear.
More than anything, those things weren’t even important right now.
What about artifacts?
What about Arnaise?
That wasn’t what mattered now.
One important thing now.
『[Tutorial Quest] – ‘This is my territory…?’』
It was that I had to solve that tutorial quest.
Even so, not all goblins have been dealt with yet.
All the goblins who followed Xian into the cave died, but the goblins at the entrance still remained.
Perhaps he was pacing outside the cave, waiting for Xian to come out.
So in order to get out of here, in order to survive, it was necessary to solve the quest.
“I’m also curious about what the territory management system said to be given as compensation is.”
If you look at it simply, it seems to be something that manages the territory…
After opening that one, it’s not too late to think about the rest of the problems.
So right now, that quest comes first.
Exactly, the priority is to survive here.
but.
“Um… but how do I deal with it?”
There was no way.
Not to mention, Xian didn’t have the strength to deal with the goblin hordes.
If that was possible, I wouldn’t have been tempted in the first place.
“If we lure them into the cave like before…”
Xian quickly shook his head.
They had already seen their own people torn apart.
Although the realm of rationality was cut out due to berserk, the fear of death and the realm of instinct remained.
Besides, the strange voice I had heard for the first time was no longer heard.
I wasn’t sure if the light that had blown up the goblins would work again.
I tried to lure it in, but if the light didn’t work, it would be a waste.
“Should I wait here until Hans comes?”
It was the best decision I could make at the moment.
But this also had problems.
There were still many goblins left,
It was because even Hans couldn’t deal with that many goblins at once.
“How do you do this…”
From nob le mt l. co m
Just when I thought of it.
Tring!
As if waiting, a notification sound came from the smartphone.
“what?”
Xian slowly lowered his eyes and looked at the screen of his smartphone.
『[Lord Only] – Beginner’s Growth Support Beginner’s Package (3,000 G)
Components: 1 set of S-grade equipment.』
-This product can only be purchased once.
-This product is non-refundable when purchased as a super special discount product.
“What is this again…”
And again.
Another window popped up with a cheerful notification sound.
Tring!
《When you get stuck while proceeding, try the hyeonjil!》
“······ Hyeonjil?”
No, what are you really talking about?
This Xi’an/Cyan/Sian/Xian is an Idiot candidate. Let’s skip the introduction provided by the smartphone as an explanation then ponder over what he heard on his own 🤡 Sure even if no worthy info was to be said skipping right away is crazy.
