บท 4: Chapter 2: Waking up(2)
'My name is Finesse del Rutchel.'
Those words struck Jane like lightning. Her mind is currently a mess and a sea of emotions overcame her.
'No way... How did I end up here? You're kidding, right? How did I get into this depressing story? I serve this place? The place who will be soon swept by war?'
"T-this..."
"If you are done you can leave now. I don't need someone to serve me anymore, get out."
Bang!
She stood in front of the closed room with the door on her back. She silently walked the hallway and got inside her room. She sat in front of the desk beside her bed and started to think.
Shit, she might die.
For a kingdom that will be soon swept by war, more than half of the population on the continent will die. Who knows if she's one of those who died? And that's not all, there is a very high chance that she will be part of those who died instead of the ones who survived, that is how intense the upcoming war is.
She brushed through her face with her hands and sighed. She massaged her temples for a while before making a decision.
"I must protect myself... And to do that I must get stronger."
She sat back on her chair and started to tap on the table. Her knitting eyebrows and her head were sweating nonstop. She stopped tapping the table and crossed her arms.
"This must be the part where the duke has gone for revenge for Finesse. Judging by her condition Finesse just started to lock herself in her room because even though the room is full of garbage there is still no speck of dust in her room which means she just currently moved there."
In the novel, Finesse never let any maid clean her room and only allowed them to enter whenever they deliver her food. She didn't care about cleanliness and just locked herself causing the maids to have a headache whenever they went into her room. And a month later after Finesse locked herself the duke was out to hunt the assassins.
So...
"Stopping the duke to kill the assassins and the perpetrators is already out of the window. So next is... To prepare for the upcoming war."
Jane's eyebrows twitched. She never thought that there would come a day where she would say things like this.
"Okay so to be stronger. I got two ways to execute that, one is to train myself till I become capable of protecting myself or to find the ancient magic containers."
Magic Containers, are containers that are in a form of a stone where the ancient people used to store their memories and powers. But you could only choose between power or memories.
The ones who discovered these containers are the duke's allies. They searched for this to inherit the memories of the ancient people about the demon world and try to see if there is a clue to seal the portal to the demon world.
The duke's allies believed that the power of the ancient people are weak and useless and just inherited the memories without hesitation. In Jane's opinion, it is a good choice. But for someone who already knows the history and answers to seal the portal to the demon world their choice is pretty dumb.
"Fools, they wasted a large amount of power that is stored in the containers for some memories."
You might be curious why I think it was dumb. They can inherit precious memories and can use that to take down the demon world. Why do you say it's 'dumb?'
Well... It's because they're dumb.
One of the powers that are sealed in the magic containers is the power [Seal]. It can seal anything the user wants in a certain object and once it's sealed the sealed being, item, or whatever it is can't be able to escape unless the user wants to. And if the user dies the sealed being, item, or whatever it is will be sealed in that object for eternity.
'If only they had the power of [Seal] then they didn't have to die a meaningless death. What is the use of memories if you're going to die?'
She doesn't want that. If she wanted to live she got to do it right. And so her decision is...
"Let's search for the Magic Containers. I don't want to go through hellish training, I already experienced hell in my past world so let's take the easy road."
But of course, if you want to take the easy road there are some challenges... Real challenges.
"The problem is, you need to be a man to inherit the powers from the containers... Fucking sexist."
She didn't know why but the reason must be because all of the ancient people who sealed their powers in the containers are men.
'If I'm not careful I might blow up like that unfortunate swordmaster who absorbed the power of the ancient people in the wrong way... Let's not think about him. Anyways.'
Fortunately, she knows a way for her to be a man but...
'If I became a man, there is no turning back... It should be fine! I always dreamt of becoming a man since I was a teenager. And I have no qualms about it since I'm not attracted to either man or woman and my colleagues say that I act like a tomboy... Now that I think about it I do sometimes think I'm a man. Then it should be fine.'
Bang!
"Alright then! Let's go and become a man!"
