Aeryon got up from the bed slowly. And then he slowly opens his eyes. He looks around and he could only see this impoverished home.
It is more of a thatched hut then a home.
'This is really not a dream' he thought to himself. He really entered that book. Aeryon real name is James Connor.
He was reading a book when suddenly he died. Before he died, all he could remember was a bright flash of light.
And now he believes that he enters that book.
He has a bit of memory of this body.
So, he knows where he is right now. He is now in a forest near a small village near Northmound city
The village is Northshire. Though Aeryon and his tribe is only resting around the forest area and did not enter the village.
They did not want to be accused as a raiding party
There is the prefect of Northmound who have great ability and because of that although Northshire is not a rich village, it could survive and the people could eat and drink.
Aeryon could only sigh.
This village however has decline year after year. If the harvest of this year is not good, it will be difficult to survive in the coming years.
And if you have illness, it would make things worse.
Aeryon is like that.
There are many memories in his mind right now and many of them is confusing him.
Maybe, if he explores this world, he would get more familiar with it.
He walks out of the hut and goes to water cauldron outside his house. He uses the water to wash his face and he could see his own reflection in the water cauldron.
He has grey hair; his eyebrows are thin and he has long wavy hair.
He sighed and then he looks at his body.
He is around five feet six
'Is this considered tall in this world?' he thought to himself. His face is also quite handsome even though there are signs of weathering on his face.
A young face but his eyes show maturity unlike that of a young man.
Then a sound startles him. he runs around and he saw someone is almost a foot taller than him enter his room.
The face is rough, the body is full of muscle, his hair is tied in an elflock
the face is square but has a certain charisma. He tries to think in his mid, who is this person.
'Belarion?' this name comes out of his mouth and the moment he said it, he became instantly familiar with this name like he has speak this name for a long time.
He thought again who this Belarion really is. Then the memory came rushing and he finally knows who this person is. He thought that this person is his brother but it turns out this person is his cousin.
Vague memory enters his mind, there is memories of him fighting against each other and fight with each other.
Riding the horse, travelling through the grasslands, hunting eagles and condors, a moving tent and a blood oath
These images seem to flash through his mind
'Sworn brother Belarion!' Aeryon shouted. Hearing this Belarion rushed forward as he saw that Aeryon is about to fall down. He managed to prop him up, so Aeryon did not fall down to the ground
'My illness made my head hurts'
'Do not move too much, Aeryon' Belarion bring him back into the hut and put him down on the bed.
Aeryon sighed. He now remembers a bit about this sworn brother of him. This is a courageous child. possessing the courage of a tiger and a temper to match
There was an incident where a tribe attack their tribe. This was just a few years ago. Belarion heard that one of his friends was hurt by the Wusun tribe.
At that time, they were both fifteen years old. But Belarion come to his tent and ask him to follow him to raid the Wusun tribe.
Aeryon agreed, they jumped onto their horse and they ride to the Wusun tribe, with sword and axes, they fought the people of that tribe fair and square.
Belarion is blessed with mighty innate physical power since he was a child, none of his peer could compete with Belarion in terms of physical prowess.
At that time, Aeryon father is the tribe leader. And the elders of the tribe very much value this cousin of his.
Aeryon is calmer and more of a tactical fighting, playing to the people weakness and using one owns strength against them
But Belarion is a reckless man who will do anything when he is angry. The Divines Above is fair, they gifted Belarion with the gift of strength but not of the mind.
He has a temper like the Mount of Fire in the Sutur Mountain Range, impulsive like the God of Wind. When he feels he is being underestimated or being taken advantage upon, he would fight at every turn
So even though the tribesman admires his fighting skill they also fear him and some hated him. Aeryon and Belarion are cousin but also sworn brothers.
And among the many people in the tribe, they are the most famous. And it was at this time, that he had more memories of himself and his tribe
He come from a tribe called the Brolgadhr.
However, once they cross over the Northern Pass, their tribe did not speak of the name of their tribe. Their tribe are small and the ruling power of this land is not of their people.
His full name is Aeryon the Son of Rakarys. Rakarys is the Son of Dramirnova, a great chieftain of the Marynku in the past.
Marynku boys often formed close friendships with other boys their age. Finding blood brothers, a tradition called Andawan, is a very important tradition for the Marynku people.
It sealed lifelong relationships and often determined relations between tribes.
It is said that Andawan promised their friendship by drinking each other's blood so that their bond would be even stronger than real brothers of the same blood.
Aeryon did not remember how he sealed their brotherhood but now is not the time to worry about this. Aeryon smiles and then said
'It is fine, Belarion. Let me rest for a while' Belarion nodded.
'I will call aunt here'
Aeryon shook his head and spoke
'There is no need. After I am healthy, I will meet with her myself'
Belarion frowned but he nodded.
'I will bring you a few of the mutton meat later' Aeryon smiles and nodded and Belarion quickly went out of Aeryon home.
The moment Belarion went out of his home Aeryon face no longer shows any sign of exhaustion and fatigue. Instead, he sighs, long and hard.
Even though he tries not to think too much about it, he also panicked when he sees that he is in this world.
This kind of thing is absurd but now it happens to him, even he doesn't know how to explain this. He could only accept it.
But the moment he accepted it; he also knows that this is not exactly a good person that he had inhabit. What he means by that is that he is a Marynku.
It is fine if he becomes the kings and heroes of the world but he is a Marynku.
This is the Northern Lands and also called the Northern Region.
And this is the Yan Empire.
Aeryon had read the story.
The Yan people treats people of the tribes like slaves. They slaughtered tribes after tribes whether innocent or not and kills all of them
Aeryon does read the story until the end.
And he also knows that Marynku and the other tribes also would rise up later because of this. But the story was about the Yan Empire division, the disintegration of the Empire, the fight between the princes.
The people of the tribes were mostly relegated in the story as some kind of punching bag.
There is the Wusun on the North, killed by the General of the North.
Then it would be other princes that wanted to gain reputation who killed people and tribes.
It does not matter whether these tribes are really innocent of the matter, whether they are related to the raiding or not.
What these princes care is their reputation.
The Yan people thought of themselves as cultured, read books yet kills people, enslaved and humiliated other people yet when the same thing is done to them, they said it is the tribe that is barbaric.
Aeryon also knows that till the end of the story, the Marynku did not even feature that heavily but he knows who would rise up and who would become king and prince's
And he also knows that there is a prince that would later massacre people of the tribes.
In the story it is said because the reason for such massacre is because barbarian which is them, is raiding the north, so, he executed these people and win the approval of the world.
Yet, in that small sentence of that part of the story, where is justice and where is benevolence? Yan people think like some party who think his race is superior than others.
All men bleed red and all humans have feeling and emotions, different thoughts and different desire. To group one race into one simple word is simply absurd.
There is a reason why Aeryon feel so mad and anxious.
Because right now he is Marynku people.
And why he is so anxious?
Because he knows what will happen
And it is not good
'Hah' his sighed seem drawn out and long.
Outside the wind blows and the bird's chirp. But this world does not know it yet.
That a wind of change is blowing and no one knows whether this wind will fizzle or turn into a storm.
>>
What will happen to him if this was allowed to happen.
In the books it is said, all the northern tribes were sacrifice and killed, the princes, the dukes, the lords murdered tribes after tribes, and they even went out of the Great Wall and slaughter even more people.
They brought the heads of the people of this tribe and paraded it. If they killed raiders, that is justifiable. People killed people; one must be ready also to be killed.
But, children, women, old people, if Yan people bleed in their hearts seeing such person of theirs being killed, how could it not make the people of tribe heart bleeds?
Only their pain matters, and not our pain?
Aeryon then got up from his bed and he close his eyes.
In his mind, he now also assimilated with the memories of this body. He thought of his aunt, his aunt family, the children of the tribe, the old people, the women and he sighed.
This fate must not happen. But what could he do?
Should he turn back? Northmound is on the northernmost part of the Empire. The name is actually different in the past.
It is called Northmound because the people of the North lives here.
The name in the past is Yanding.
But because there is many Marynku people, Huyun, Miyan people, the people out of the Great Wall that lives here, the name was changed by the prefect, a Yan people.
But he also remembers the prefect of this county in the story. He is not an important person because he died even before the midway of the story.
But the prefect is called Cai Yan.
He is the person that suggested to the General to rid out of the tribes and killed countless of people, massacring the entire tribes' people.
The people of Yan praise such genocidal behavior, whether the people of the tribe is innocent or not is not in their mind.
Of course, this would be repaid later when the northern tribes would unite later, and come down to riad the entire north before being driven back.
Aeryon then got out of his tent. He could see his tribe.
Aeryon is the appointed tribe's leader. His father is the leader of this small tribe. And after his death, the responsibility was given to him
In the tribe system, the strong rule the tribe but the tribes of Marynku is also slowly turning into feudalism even though it is not that prevalent.
Most tribe leader would pass on the power to their children and usually he would be assisted by the uncles or the sworn brothers of the previous tribe leader
This is the knowledge that Aeryon has not got from his memory
And there is another memory that popped out into his mind now that he assimilated most of the memory
In the past, this tribe is big but after a great battle, they now reach this state.
'What should I do?' in his memory, Aeryon is an accomplished hunter and a warrior. He could ride horses and he could use his bow and arrow even while riding.
This is like basic for the people of Marynku.
But even with all these kind of abilities…does it help him? He thought to himself and sighed a bit. It does not help him that much to have these kinds of abilities right now
He sighed and close his eyes but suddenly he opens back his eyes in panic.
He gulped and he mutters to himself
'What the hell?
…..
Aeryon took a few second to calm himself down before he enters back his tent and then pace around the tent. This is not the habit of Aeryon. But this is his habit when he thinks
But then he shook his head and then close his eyes again.
When people close their eyes, they will seed darkness.
But now as he closes his eyes, he is now seeing countless stars
It was like seeing the picture of the cosmos. Like he is in a planetarium.
And in front of his eyes, in a word he could understand is a message inside a status window, like something you would see in a game
[ Do you want to activate the Class System?]
'So, it is a system?' he thought to himself.
He thought it is simply him transmigrated into the novel he reads.
And even then, he still did not understand how he was transmigrated into the book.
He seems to not remember much of what happen before he suddenly woke up as Aeryon.
Yet, he was given a full memory of Aeryon. Though, there is a few missing spots, most of the memory of Aeryon and how he feels on certain thing is retained by him.
But now, he is actually in a system novel?
He is quite sure the book he reads is in the military genre.
Yes, the people in it have exaggerated strength and power when fighting in battles, but it is still quite limited.
If Aeryon has to describe the book he reads, it is a low fantasy book that basically take the setting of the Three Kingdoms and added with Western element.
There is also a mix of Japan Sengoku period in it mashed into this story that he had read.
There are counselors who help win battle, brave and honorable generals but also schemers and plotters in the background, all fighting to sit in the Dragon Throne.
Aeryon has always like the medieval type stories and the Three kingdom stories so he simply bought the book from an online store
Some names are ripped off from the Three kingdoms and changed slightly but a few names of the city is the same.
But now, that does not matter.
Because now he is in the book.
And his ending seems to be a tragic one.
He knows he is not a famous person because not once in the book that it mentioned anyone named Aeryon.
So, he did not want to think too much right now of why he is here, why there is a system or anything like that.
He would grab any opportunity to survive in this chaotic era.
'Activate' he thought in his mind and the thought in his mind turns into a voice inside this cosmic like scape.
The word echoes resoundingly, echoing like he is in a dep cave.
And then suddenly light exploded and Aeryon was blinded for a second but in his mind, suddenly there is new information that seems to enter his mind.
The moment it entered his mind, it was like he had already known this information long ago and very familiar with it
Information that entered his mind is none other than the information about the system
The Class System
It is a system that gave him a class from his current situation and his experience and his life.
Right now, he already knows how toa activate the function of this system. So, he mutters
'Open selection of classes'
The effect would be the same if he only thought about it.
Then a list appears in front of his eyes.
On that list there is classes or jobs like the one you would find in a video game. But Aeryon frowned when he sees it
'It is not that many' he thought to himself as he sighed.
There are only a few classes he could pick. Though, Aeryon understand that this might be because of his specialization in certain area.
The class he could pick is as follow
[Archer] [Hunter] [Warrior] [Tribe Leader]
There is only four. It also indicates his ability and his identity.
He frowned for a moment and he thought to himself what should he pick as his class.
'This is an important decision.' He mutters to himself.
He believes that this would help him or hinder him depending on his choice. If he chooses wrongly, it might even negatively affect him
He does not know what each class would give him.
The system did not tell him that.
He believes he must choose carefully.
He also knows that only after finishing this, the system would give him reward.
When the information streamed in his mind before, the system already input the information that when he finishes choosing his calls, he would also be rewarded with a reward or compensation to survive in this world
But just because of that, it does not mean he would be impulsive and choose haphazardly
'Tribe Leader?' Aeryon also knows that certain class could have certain abilities that they could learn.
He could deduce that if he picked Tribe Leader, the ability that he might get would be about nurturing the tribe. But he shook his head.
'This is a chaotic era. If this is a peaceful era, I might be able to use this kind of ability to quickly create a powerful tribe. But, in the chaotic era, I must be able to protect myself first.'
Aeryon does not want to be slaughtered and massacred.
Even though, just now, he did not know at all of these tribes people, but when the memory of this body emerged with him, it was like he knew these people.
The tribes have their rules but there is also heart.
The world is harsh and the rules of survival is also harsh.
But that does not mean that the people of Marynku does not know how to feel. But when fighting, they fight like tiger and wolves.
He look at the classes and nodded to himself
'I guess I would choose this' he mutters to himself
'I choose-'
