Transmigration Into The Beginning After The End

Chapter 45 - Cavern

CHAPTER 45 - CAVERN

LUKE HODGES

Loud sounds of beating and knocking reflected in my mind and ears like some replay audio.

Being on the max volume that my head could ever produce, driving me insane.

I yelled, or perhaps not, I never could've known. My contact with the outside world was... unknown to me. Where I was... I didn't know where I was.

It was all the same familiar place that Earth was but different, like a different country or state that I haven't been to. Everything around me spinned like I was the center of the universe. The sun radiated a warm feeling to my skin as I walked down this path next to a giant lake. On my right was a forest, green and possibly even going toe-to-toe with the tree of Elenoir but I highly doubt it.

I continued to walk towards what seemed to be the end of the horizon. Along my walk I spotted many animals from my old life along with those from Dicathen. Squirrels, beatles, ducks, gooses, the mana beast looking cat, which surprisingly was scared of me more than I was of him.

Dicathen...huh. I was doing something in that place, yet what was it? I...don't remember anything at all aside from...

"Well that's weird, I-I swear I've been t-there before... f-fighting mana b–"

My mouth halted against me. I wasn't able to say the word I wanted to say. I don't recall the word either.

The sun setting down brought me a sense of anxiety. I needed to go home... Where was my home again?

Desperation entered my body and corrupted my mind.

Leave! Now!

Those words popped into my mind and without a second thought I ran, as fast as I could and far away as I could. The animals I'd pass would fly away the same direction I was running, on the other hand, the animals that didn't fly or couldn't went the opposite direction.

My understanding of what was going on kept on being in a blank state. All I had to know was to get away from the place I was originally before it caught me...

Eventually, after leaving the lake, I headed towards the city which wasn't far from the lake with the sunset.

A multitude of people and cars swarmed my vision, buildings alike. Everything was different from Earth and Dicathen. My earth was a little less advanced in technology than this one. Yet, mine was more advanced than Dicathen's.

The sound of engines and the people's voices overwhelmed my ears but my mind wasn't, instead I felt happy that I'd arrived at this place. Now my main objective was to find my home... a place to stay.

Yet, the longer I lingered around this city, the more confusing and suspicious things became. I bumped into a couple of people and yet there was no reaction and they kept on walking as if nothing had happened.

"What is going on here?"

CADELL

"Why let the boy go?" I finally asked. The question that had been eating my mind ever since we left the Lesser's continent.

His Lordship took a moment to answer, his eyes not turning or even meeting mine by instead looking at the outside of Taegrin Caelum and into the city of Cardigan.

After a while of waiting patiently, the lord answered. "What do you think of the boy, Cadell?"

I frowned, not at his statement but rather at the thought of a mere lesser boy giving interest to Lord Argona. "His is nothing more than a lesser, his talents don't stand out unlike the Reincarnated King. Yet, both will be no threat."
