Chapter 16: REFLECTION

I trudged up the stairs to my apartment, my legs aching a little bit walking from santcum to my apartment . The early morning sunlight was just starting to peek through the windows, casting a warm glow over the empty streets.

I fumbled for my key and unlocked the door to my apartment, feeling a sense of relief wash over me as I stepped inside.

My apartment was small, with a single room that served as both my bedroom and living space. The bed was a welcome sight, and I collapsed onto it with a sigh. I had been out since the previous evening, and I was exhausted.

As I lay there, I couldn't help but think about the past six days. It had been a whirlwind of activity, with me trying to navigate this new world and figure out my place in it. 

I remembered the rush of adrenaline as I cast my first fireball spell , i was so shocked and thrilled by what I had just done. I had never felt anything like it before. The sensation of magic coursing through my veins was exhilarating, like a rush of electricity that left me breathless. 

Though i mistakenly burned some my clothes and reason why i had been wearing same clothes.

I had met , Elara how she had helped me kill moon wolves, met Grimbold, and how he had helped me to create a sword. 

And Aethera, the kind-hearted nurse mage. These were the characters i had wrote, they are alive and living like any normal person on earth do . They are not characters from a unwritten novel.

And I also gotten stronger, I leveled up to level 10 , my mage rank also got higher. 

I complete 2 side quests, killed monsters, made a sword.

But it wasn't all excitement and adventure. I had also had to learn how to cook, how to fend for myself in a world where I knew no one. I remembered the first time I tried to make a meal, the way the food had burned and the smell had filled the entire apartment. It had been a disaster, but I had learned from it.

As I lay there, I couldn't help but feel a pang of homesickness. I missed my family, my friends, the life I had left behind. I missed the familiarity of my old world, the comfort of knowing what to expect.

But as I looked back on the past six days, I realized that I had accomplished so much. I had learned new skills, made some friends.

And yet, despite all of this, I was tired. I was tired of the constant stimulation, tired of the new sights and sounds, tired of the endless danger and uncertainties. It had only been six days, and I was already feeling exhausted.

I let out a deep sigh, feeling the weight of my mental fatigue i had supressed till now . I knew I needed to rest, to recharge my batteries and prepare for whatever lay ahead.

I couldn't help but wonder what will be tomorrow like. Tomorrow is the Welcome Ceremony at the Eridorian Academy of Magic, I thought as i looked at the status window.

Main Quest: Attend the Welcome Ceremony at the Eridorian Academy of Magic

*

It doesn't have any rewards displayed. 

Though i haven't played many video games, but from what i played i know that these type of quests are mostly chain quests.

 chain quest is a series of quests or tasks that are linked together in a specific order. Each quest or task builds upon the previous one, and completing one quest often unlocks the next one in the chain. It was like a puzzle, where each piece fit together to form a larger picture.

I wondered what the next quest in the chain would be. Would it be a challenge to prove my magical abilities? A test of my courage and determination? Or perhaps a chance to make new friends and allies?

I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and nervousness. I had no idea what to expect from the ceremony, but I knew that it was a crucial part of my journey in this new world.
