Protagonist

The next day, I got out of bed and came out of my room to look for food, it was only 4 in the morning and I was wandering around the fairly wide hallway alone, I asked the servants here where I could get food.

With directions from the servants, it seemed like the kitchen was at the west end of the mansion. I continued to walk along the dark corridor alone, the waiter was busy going here and there doing his work.

I reached the end of the corridor and stopped in front of a wooden door.

"Is this the place?"

There was a bright light coming out from under the door, the smell of bread coming from behind this door.

I saw a door next to this room with canteen written on a wooden board hanging in the middle of the door, I walked towards the door.

"The door was slightly open?"

I opened this door and saw a man sitting eating bread and holding a cup of something. The man glanced over and smiled brightly.

"Ah! I didn't expect that there would be someone other than me who would go looking for food at four in the morning."

This man greeted me in a friendly manner, the way he spoke to me was as if we were friends who have known each other for a long time.

"Sit here, I was given a basket of bread by the chef who was preparing the food, he apologized to me for not having prepared the food hahaha... Even though I was the one who had troubled him, it's really ironic, isn't it?."

What the hell is this guy? Why is he talking about this to me? I don't even know your name?!

"Ah wait a minute I'll get the drink first, do you prefer coffee or milk."

I took a seat opposite to this man.

"Just coffee is enough."

The man smiled and went to get me coffee.

"Okay, wait a minute i'll be back."

Hm, I think many people especially girls, will like this kind of attitude, but as good as a person is, there will always be people who want to harm him.

"This is your coffee."

"Why are you doing this."

"Eh? Ahh, you probably think that I'm strange, right? Sorry, I think I'm too excited to meet new people." He laughed a little and smiled at me, he said that with a bright smile on his face, is he a protagonist?

The thought suddenly appeared in my mind,

No no no. Why am I thinking about such absurd things now, sigh...it seems like I'm still exhausted.

"Therefore, let me introduce myself, my name is Ethan Starshield, Just call me ethan, nice to meet you, em..."

"My name is Nicholas Dendi"

Ethan Starshield, he has black eyes and bluish black hair, he is one of five people who did not turn around and try to leave while on the field. He has a friendly personality but his eyes contain a high level of self-confidence.

I don't know why he kept looking at me, hey man, let me eat my bread in peace!

"What is it? Do you not like me for being here?"

"Ah... I'am sorry, I was just amazed by your figure when you were on the field yesterday."

What is he talking about? I just stood still in the field and didn't move but he was admiring me? Did he hit his head on a piece of bread or something?

"Hehehe, it seems like you don't believe what I say, even though I'm telling you the truth."

"Whatever"

I wanted to leave the cafeteria because I didn't feel hungry anymore, I wanted to run so that my body wouldn't lose its touch, because I used to be a dimensional explorer so I had to maintain my body's condition so that I could avoid dangerous situations such as being chased by monsters and hunting animals.

"Eh, are you ready to go? Where are you going?"

Why does he want to know my business so much? Am I your father?

"Running"

"Can I come running with you?"

I stared at him for a while, in the end I gave up and allowed him to follow me.

Ethan stood up while saying something in a low voice. "Thank you, Nicholas"

Hmm? Why his voice is shaking, is he scared? Well, this is normal if you remember yesterday's incident, after all it seems like he is still 18 years old.

Maybe we're not that far apart in age but our life experiences are very different. Even though he looks confident on the outside but in the inside he's very fragile, I can't blame him for that.

"Just call me Dendi."

***

The next day, we were told by the servants that everyone had to gather in the hall next to the field this morning.

People started to go towards the fort in front of the mansion, if I looked it seemed like most of them had become friends, they were walking in groups with an average of 3 people. But what amazed me was Ethan, he was walking while chatting with 5 people, I had thought that Ethan would be easy to get along with other people, but what surprised me was that he was in a group with 4 people who didn't leave the field, what a terrible coincidence...

Is he really a protagonist?
