Chapter 15: Successor

"Gasp!" I was shocked and opened my eyes. Sun glare penetrated my retina. I wake up and immediately catch my breath that is still not good.

"Hmm? You're awake, young master" an old man surprised me.

"You.. how did you get here, and also, where is this?" Ask dazed.

"Ah, have you forgotten, young master? You yesterday just fought with my master, currently you are in the intermediate continent, the ancestor master asked me to take care of you as long as you are unconscious."

"O-oh, so... is that bad, huh? Lukaku's.."

"Well, you overextended yourself, young master. Do you want to take a shower, my lord?"

"Ah, sure..and also, how long have I been unconscious?"

"Hmm? Well, you just unconscious for a day, me and the master actually thought you would wake up about two more days"

"Oh? That bad? Well, I did fight it out anyway"

"You are, always forcing yourself, young master"

The old man gave me a pair of change of clothes and a towel. I walked over to the bathroom she pointed at.

That man was Edward Vanforth. He was the butler in the master's mansion. I don't know him very well, but you could say, he is the servant closest to the master. And, when it comes to power, I'm not very able to compare it. It could not be compared to the ancestral masters, but arguably all the servants and members who inhabited the Alpha college, were very specialized and talented in various fields. Well, you could say I'm the only one who's useless there.

"Oh, uncle, where's the master?"

"Hmm? True too, master must not tell you yes, at the moment, he is completing the quest. I think he should be back in a while" he said.

"I haven't apologized to the master for my stupidity yesterday"

"No, in my opinion, you are not at all stupid, young master"

"Well, young master is a good and strong boy, that's what we see, your master is no exception"

"Ah, thank you, uncle.but still, I'm too impulsive!"

"Well, anyone ever makes a mistake, after all I think everyone would do the same thing even worse when they hear that something important to them is in danger, don't you think? In other words, you just follow your instincts, young master"

I was stunned to hear what Uncle Edward said. That was true, but still, opening up a bit of my identity as a survivor, it was too rash.

'Think how, yeah, people think when they find out I'm a survivor'

Sighs. I sighed, trying to re-digest what was in my memory.

'That dream, that woman..is she a mother? what is the cause of the pain? And again, about the mysterious voice that warned me, who is he really? My head is dizzy!'

"Young master, let me tell you a few things"

"Hmm? Sure, I'm listening" I said in response.

"Sometimes, it's not a bad thing if you occasionally experience failures or mistakes. As long as you can stand up and fix it as much as you can. And, it's not a good thing if you continue to force yourself to change things that even you yourself are not sure can change. So, please trust the things you can't change yourself to the person you trust.."

"A-. mm, I understand, thank you for your guidance, Uncle Edward"

"Fufufu.it's not a problem, young master"

I lowered my face, looking at my hands that currently looked small compared to my hands.

'Right, right now, I am still so weak, willing to try as hard as I am when faced with my death, I can't dwell at all'

"Uncle, did the master take a long time to return?" I asked Uncle Edward.

"Hmm? Ah, I think he's akaa-" said Edward's uncle.

Boom!
