David was walking beside the man in silence, he looked at the man beside him and saw he wasn't even up to the man's lap which made him frustrated. In his previous life, he was taller than his age, but his new life, he wasn't up to the lap of a man, even though he was ten years of age.
Although he appeared calm outside, he was very anxious inside despite making up his mind to live his new life. After all, he has read a lot of novels and watch lots of animes about how a protagonist gets reborn in another world and they always have one thing in common, which is death.
David still couldn't understand, how he ended up in another world.
'did I dead?'
'if so, how?'
David knew him winning the martial arts championships made a lot of enemies for him, but he didn't think it was to the extent of killing him. Now thanks to that, he have to restart everything again in a new world which was completely different the earth he knew.
To make matters worse for him, he transmigrated to a magical world where legendary and mythical stories on earth actually exist in the other world and he didn't even have a single strand of mana in him.
Just thinking about it made him signed out loud. The man heard David sign and asked
"What are you thinking in that tiny brain of yours?"
David : (ب_ب)
"What's with that look?" The man asked when he saw David expression.
David wanted to rebuke the man, but he has a lot of questions to ask.
"Who exactly are you?" He asked.
The man saw that David didn't want to talk about what he was thinking, he also left the conversation and reply to David question.
"You will know when we get to my base."
"Seriously, trying to act mysterious when I am going to know you later and keep seeing you from now on." David said, a little annoyed about the man trying to act like a man full of mystery.
A dangerous glint flashed across the man eyes for a moment, but David saw it, even though, he's typically useless with no mana in his body, he was a veteran martial arts and he has faced a lot of opponents, reading the tiniest emotion in an opponent face can determine the victor or loser between martial artists. David as a master in martial arts can do this, so when he saw that dangerous glint that flashed across the man faced, he knew he was in for it.
David knew the man wouldn't kill him because if the man wanted to do so he would have done so long ago. He decided to remain silent throughout the remainder of the journey.
David and the man passed through a very dense forest with towering trees, luckily for David, there was a pathway where he followed through with the man.
As they kept entering deeper the forest, David saw a light at the distance, he closer he walked towards that light, the bigger it became. Within a few minutes, David and the man was standing in front of a two storey building that was made out of wood. Two latterns was hanging at the building pathway to lit it up. David looked at the house and found out that there was nothing special about the base and a look of disappointment was evident on his face.
The man saw David expression and scoffed as he said "looking forward to something bigger and grandiose than this?"
David nodded and said "I thought with you powerful, your base will be grander, especially when you kept mentioning your base."
The man was stunned as he didn't expect David to answer him honestly. The man laughed loudly as he said
"Honestly, you are completely different from what they say about you."
David knew about the rumours about him actually about Davies being fearful and not been able to stand up for himself against injustice despite been the son of the Sylvester family patriarch
Well if it was before, the rumours would have been true, but now that David has become one with Davies, he was going to strive for a better life, only his lack of mana was his inderance, but since their is life, there is hope and his path as a swordmaster will be his breakthrough to evolve into a capable person.
"Don't just stand there and look like a person that the world has abandoned, let's get inside, the others are waiting." The man said as he starts moving towards the base door.
"Okay sir."
David followed behind the man.
When the man opened the door, what David saw completely disregard his common sense of the world.
