Capítulo 1: Chapter 1 Adam
A sense of drowsiness constantly emerged in his mind, and within his brain, various fragments of memories seemed to collide.
These were the memories of two souls.
Bang!
The sound came from outside the door, with a crisp melody, as if someone was knocking.
"Adam..."
A voice sounded from the outside, echoing incessantly in his mind.
The owner of the voice seemed a little anxious, constantly knocking on the door, but not able to enter.
"Adam, who is this? Are they calling me?"
In his hazy state, this thought flashed through his mind unconsciously.
If he could, he would love to answer the person outside, but he couldn't do it.
Because within his brain, the intense pain persisted, and the torment was too much.
The collision of memories and souls made him powerless, collapsing on the floor, unable to control his body any longer.
Finally, he fell weakly and completely passed out.
He didn't know how much time had passed during his slumber.
It wasn't until the dim light of the next day illuminated the room that the unconscious person finally woke up.
The sight in front of him entered his eyes.
A messy room with a damp smell entering his nostrils, making him feel unconsciously uncomfortable.
Adam subconsciously furrowed his brow, looked at the familiar surroundings, but felt a sense of strangeness no matter how he looked.
"Who am I?"
This was the first thought that crossed his mind.
This was a question he would never have thought about in the past.
Before, he was undoubtedly a person named Adam, who was born into a declining Knight Family, and his daily goal was to become a great knight, always striving forward.
But at this moment, he felt lost.
Because in his mind, there was clearly the memory of another person.
An individual named Clement Williams, born in a completely different world, who was a primary school teacher, spending his days among a group of children, possessing a gentle personality and upright morals - a good person.
The two sets of memories mixed together, making him unsure whether he was Adam or Clement Williams.
Was he one of them, or were they both him?
Or perhaps, neither of them was him, and they were merely parts that constituted the current him?
All sorts of thoughts flickered in his mind.
But this question was undoubtedly too difficult for Adam.
So he simply stopped trying to figure it out.
If he couldn't understand, he might as well not think about it any further.
He exerted strength in his body, slowly rising from the ground, only to unexpectedly discover that his physical condition was quite good.
This came as a surprise.
He vaguely remembered that he seemed to have been sick before, with an unrelenting fever.
Based on experience, even if such an illness was cured, it probably wouldn't recover quickly, and he should be in a weak state.
But there was no other option.
Although this world was much larger in scope compared to the world Clement Williams remembered, it was relatively primitive in other aspects.
There were no antibiotics, no targeted drugs, and even a common minor illness could be life-threatening.
Although Adam was a Knight Apprentice and more robust than ordinary people, getting sick was still troublesome.
That he recovered so quickly was beyond his expectations.
He could only attribute it to the miracle of soul fusion.
After all, even something as unique as soul fusion could happen, and the natural recovery of his body wasn't a big deal.
Even though Adam himself didn't know whether his current situation was classified as transmigration or simply awakening the memories of his previous life.
Rising from his spot, he subconsciously looked around, then furrowed his brow.
The arrangement of the room was far too chaotic.
Clothes scattered all over the place, piles of miscellaneous items, and many useless pieces of trash were carelessly placed in the corners, giving off an indescribable smell.
All of this had been inconsequential for the past Adam, but now it was unbearable for the current one.
Having inherited the memories of his previous life, he seemed to have also adopted some of its characteristics, and at this moment suddenly developed a mild obsession with cleanliness.
So, he quickly took action.
He reorganized the room, tidying up what he needed, disposing of useless items, planning to throw them away later.
It wasn't long before the room appeared renewed.
Although the lack of decorations made it seem empty, it was at least tidier compared to the previous disarray.
At least to Adam, it didn't look so displeasing now.
Bang! Bang!
The crisp sound suddenly came from outside the door.
Adam listened and was momentarily taken aback. He then walked over and opened the door.
The moment the door opened, the sunlight from outside shone through the door and into the room, giving a warm sensation.
Outside the door stood a seemingly slender young man.
The young man had a thin build, wearing a light brown robe. His appearance was clean-cut, but still had a few teenage acne marks, making him seem somewhat immature.
Seeing the person before him, the name automatically surfaced in his mind.
Regan, a student of Hodge Royal Academy and one of Adam's few good friends at the academy.
"Regan, you're here!"
In an instant, a smile appeared on Adam's face, and he welcomed his friend inside.
Upon entering the room, Regan was somewhat surprised.
He looked around at the clean and tidy space, noticing the neatly arranged clothes, and couldn't help but feel amazed: "Adam, my friend, what happened here?"
"I woke up and felt that the place was too messy, so I cleaned up a bit."
Adam chuckled and explained: "It's still a bit simple though."
"No, it's much better."
Regan shook his head and said, "I rarely see places cleaner than this in the Academy."
That was true.
Although Hodge Royal Academy was the best academy in the Holy Kingdom of Hodge, the sanitation was just so-so.
Even the young masters of the aristocracy didn't pay much attention to cleanliness. Some even believed that bathing was harmful to the human body.
Some traditional sects even had doctrines that specifically restricted followers from cleaning their homes, arguing that such acts disrupted the harmony between man and nature.
In comparison to such a group of people, Adam's hygiene standards were quite good even before.
"I came to visit you since I heard that you were sick, and I even brought some herbal medicine for you."
Regan laughed and said, "However, it seems that you don't need it now."
"That should be the case."
Adam nodded but still thanked him with a smile: "Anyway, thank you for your kindness."
"During my illness and unconsciousness, you were the only one willing to come and visit me."
He could barely remember his previous unconscious state and vaguely remembered someone knocking on his door and Regan's muffled voice.
"It seems like... you've changed quite a bit?"
Hearing Adam's words, Regan couldn't help but be slightly surprised.
"Has it?" Adam was taken aback.
"Yes."
Regan nodded: "You seem to have become more polite, and your speech has changed quite a bit..."
He tried to recall carefully, feeling somewhat uncertain as he spoke.
In his memory, Adam's background as a member of a knight family made him somewhat serious and rigid in his speech, coupled with a hint of hidden disdain and pride that aristocracy had towards commoners.
But now, Adam seemed much gentler, not only speaking more logically but also appearing more polite, without his previous solemnity.
However, Regan thought that compared to his past serious pretense, Adam now seemed more like an outstanding and well-educated nobleman.
"Maybe it's the changes brought about by a severe illness."
Adam spoke up, though he knew in his heart what the reason was.
It was most likely the influence brought by the memories of his past life as Clement Williams.
In his previous life, Clement was a gentle and kind teacher who was very popular among children.
Now that he and Adam were merged, his character had inevitably affected Adam's personality to some extent.
However, this didn't really bother him.
Adam wasn't against these changes; on the contrary, inheriting Clement's memories allowed him to see many things more clearly.
"Seeing that you're feeling better, I'm relieved."
Looking at Adam now, Regan said, "As for the assessment, don't take it too seriously."
"I understand your strength better than anyone else. Last time must have been an accident."
He was talking about what happened before Adam fell unconscious.
Both Adam and Regan were students of Hodge Royal Academy, but Adam attended the more exclusive Knight Academy within the institution.
The Knight Academy was a place that specialized in teaching knight courses. Only the most outstanding individuals with knight bloodlines were eligible to enter.
Merely being a descendant of a knight family with a knight bloodline was the minimum requirement for admission.
After entering, students still had to undergo the most rigorous assessments.
Adan had previously failed in one of the assessments and was injured in the process, resulting in a severe illness that left him unconscious.
"There's not much time left until the next assessment; I have a plan."
Adam smiled and said, "Compared to that, I have something that I hope you can help me with."
Regan hesitated for a moment before responding: "Let's hear it."
A short while later, Regan left Adam's room.
At this moment, Adam had two gold coins in his hand.
The gold coins were produced by the Holy Kingdom of Hodge and contained a high amount of gold. They could be exchanged for twenty small silver coins or two hundred copper coins in the outside world.
If Adam remembered correctly, one loaf of bread cost about two copper coins, which was enough for an ordinary person to eat for two meals.
By this calculation, the value of two gold coins was quite significant.
Adam had asked Regan for the money.
He had no choice.
He had run out of money earlier.
If he didn't ask Regan for some, he would probably struggle to afford even meals in the coming days.
If it were the old Adam, he might feel somewhat embarrassed.
But now, he didn't care.
When he asked Regan for money, not only did Regan not refuse, but he likely enjoyed the opportunity to help.
Regan had always been trying to get closer to Adam, so he happily accepted this chance to prove himself a good friend.
So there was really nothing wrong with it.
