My Fate as a Cannon Fodder

Chapter One: Serenity

In the middle of the bustling capital of a prosperous kingdom lay a neighborhood filled with neatly lined simple but beautiful houses which practically screamed 'the rich and the nobility.'

Each houses are unique with its architectural designs varying from European to Asian. Whether the sizes of the houses be big or small, each have their own touch of elegance.

The said neighborhood is called Aurora, due to the ethereal scenery it has during dawn. The neighborhood is located at the heart of the capital of Valhaven called Venice. Due to it being surrounded by well-known stores and shops and beautiful scenery, buying yourself a house in Aurora will cost a fortune.

And in one of the large houses located in Aurora, lives the granddaughter of the Royal Tutor, Serenity Merle Lockett.

Serenity right now slowly opened her beautiful golden eyes and within them can be seen a trace of confusion as she slowly sat up and looked around. The soul residing Serenity's body right now is none other than Iris, who can't help but admire the aesthetically pleasing design of the room she is currently in.

But her admiration was cut short when she suddenly felt her head starting to hurt. Dozens of foreign memories invades her brain which was overwhelming for her to handle. It took five minutes for the pain to subside and for Iris to slowly regain her consciousness.

[Congratulations host for successfully receiving Serenity's memories without going insane from the pain.]

". . . . ." Iris didn't know whether she should laugh or cry after hearing that statement.

Trying to distract herself from the dizziness, she looked at the beautiful scenery outside, "Anyways, is the novel set in the medieval times?" Iris asked curiously after noticing the design of the place.

[Host, your definition of medieval times is different to this world.]

[To you host it may seem like the medieval times but to these people, it is called the Prosperous Era.]

Iris frown, "The information you gave me about this world earlier was lacking."

[You're correct, host. It was made to be like that because you only need to know the important things regarding your mission.]

[But, to satisfy host's curiosity, you can ask me questions about this world and i'll do my best to answer them.]

Iris nodded as she observed the scenery outside from her bedroom window, silently scrutinizing the fashion sense of this world.

The women wore flowy dresses and skirts, unlike the large and stuffy ball gowns she expected. Whereas the men wore suit and long sleeves shirt. She didn't see someone wearing a scandalous outfit, all of the people outside dressed appropriately, if she were to compare it to her previous world.

And the way the people carry themselves with grace made Iris sigh in awe. When she first saw the scenery outside, she almost mistakenly thought that she was back in her old world because the designs of the clothes were so modern and trendy.

"Tell me the difference between my old world and this world." Iris said to the system.

[The only similarities are the clothes, food and the architectural designs of the place. As for the difference, it is their education, transportation and technology to say a few. Your world is far more advance in those areas.]
