"Don't go running around Ian!"
"It's okay uncle Blue, I'm just going to try and surprise mom & dad"
I ran to the yard where the hunters of the village were being trained by my parents, as I wanted to surprise them by the new sword move that I had learned from uncle blue.
However, I was soon disappointed as the yard was completely empty…..
"Hmmm? Mom…. dad… where are you?!"
I ran to the training hall, while calling out to them, but silence was the only answer I received.
"Uncle Blue, mom & dad aren't here, do you know where they went?"
"Where are all the trainees? Why is the whole place empty all of the sudden?!"
I started getting dizzy as if I were going to faint any minute now, the last thing I saw was uncle Blur's bitter smile…..
>>>>
"Gasssp!"
I woke up to find myself in quite a familiar place, it was the white space that I was in at the very start of the game.
I looked around as my mind was quite puzzled, what in the world did I just experience?!
In my head where 3 sets of memories, if it was someone else they would suspect having split personality….
However, thanks to my photographic memory, I was able to get a hold of myself. Still, it was still a puzzle.
The most vivid memories of my life on earth, the memories of a young boy living a happy life with his family in Thunder village, and what seemed to be falsified memories of the village life which I received from the memory transfer.
I couldn't help but have doubts, the memories I experienced where quite different from the memory transfer, not only in content, but also in the way I received them.
I had felt like I experienced a whole 13 years of life in quite the literal meaning, to the point of doubting which Ian I was. It was just that realistic.
Nonetheless, I still did gain some benefit out of this confusing experience, I was able to get a lot of knowledge about this world, I could even be considered a native based on it.
Still, I had to push that matter aside for now, all I should focus on now was moving forward. Hopefully, the questions I have will be answered eventually.
[Oh, you are finally awake?]
"Huh?"
I was once again hearing voices out of nowhere, was this a similar situation to the Thunder lion's? Still, that voice was somewhat familiar...
[Oh yeah, you are probably confused. I'm the system's #000 interactional AI, I don't have a name yet, but you can call me Zero.]
"Ah, that's why the voice was familiar. Still, why are you only speaking now? It was quite awkward to communicate with you before."
[Well, that wasn't me. It was the unified system AI, it's designed to provide limited help to users 000~009 during the tutorial arc. As for me, I'm one of the rewards that you automatically receive as you complete the tutorial arc.]
[Which reminds me, would you like to view your rewards and evaluation now?]
