CHAPTER 2 -ETERNAL GUILT-

It had been almost a year since my soul was brought here into this world.

In that year, I tried to do the most important thing that every reincarnation does after being sent to another world. Learning how to crawl. During this time, I would spend it doing small exercises like moving in a crawling position but failed due to my body always being in a fatigue mode.

It was exhausting to even breathe yet harder to keep my eyes open to take in all the surroundings of this new world. Truth to be told, I was excited every time I would wake up here. There was a time where in the first few months, I would try anything to wake up from this 'fantasy' dream for every novel enjoyer.

I had to accept that I was in another world–as a reincarnation–as reality. Yet, somewhere on the back of my mind a small piece of me told me that this was all a game.

It told me that if I were to believe this then I would be no better than a fool, it was right. But there was nothing with me believing the opposite, right?

So I did what any other person would do. Information. Information about this world and along with many other things. Which is the reason why I would learn how to crawl to find some sort of library here in this house, just like in the Leywin's old house before Arthur blew it up with his mana core.

I learned many things in that novel, for instance, the need to learn from your mistakes and to learn to move forward with them. Fighting for one, is not something I could learn on earth. Trying to obtain knowledge about swordsmanship was different from learning how to use it on a sword.

Trying to use a sword where an era is about the future and technology was a pain, being called weird from wanting to learn things from the past was going through the limit of exhaustion. That was the thing though, I never resented that life or world, instead I embraced it because thanks to that I was able to learn about The Beginning After The End.

The sole thing that kept me from wanting to give up on everything and die. Regrets and mistakes.

However, this time it was going to be different. I was going to live this life to the fullest. Whether I had the power to destroy nations or a power level where I couldn't even hold a sword, it wouldn't matter to me.

I opened the doors in the single narrow hallway. Three doors on each side, making it six doors all together with some interesting things inside. Is what I wanted to say but I was still an infant, so opening doors wasn't the best option here.

It appeared that I had to wait for someone to open them or perhaps leave them opened for me to enter.

But before I could even try my plan, a set of gentle hands picked me up. As I was being brought up, in the corner of my eyes I noticed white long strands of hair and I already knew who it was. "Luke Hodges, what are you doing here alone in the hallway?" Said my mother in a cheerful tone.

White silky long hair and red crimson eyes, her pale skin tone as she was only a housewife. Her name was Mia Hodges. Another voice came from the other end of the hallway, tall–around six feet–holding a sword on his waist while taking off his training armor. Upon taking out his helmet, I was able to see his short black hair along with his blue crystal eyes.

"Oh, you two seem to be having fun." Pointed out the tall man walking towards us a little faster than a walk. Still, he was holding onto his sword, something I found amusing for some time. "You've come from work I predict?"

The black haired man gave my mother a smile that reached his eyes in excitement. Both of his hands retracted away from me–like he was going to pick me up from my mother–and pulled out an envelope with a crest emblem.
