The Beginning Of a New Age

I look at the battlefield from above from a mountaintop faraway from the castle.

' Sigh'

Just because I 'died'.... it didn't mean that the fighting would stop.

{Stop it.}

I broadcast my sound through the entire battlefield using the [Microphone] skill.

Allies and foes stop their fight to death on the dreaded battlefield and try to find where the mysterious voice had originated from. But it was no use.... they won't find me.

{If you are hearing this.... then that means that I, Kaecilius am dead.}

Gasps ring throughout the battlefield, nobody could process what had just been told to them, But I can't explain anything more.

I don't have a lot of time to waste.

{ I have only one message to my followers: find your happiness and never let go of whatever it is}

...

In my mind, it didn't sound so corny, but now that I had said it out loud... I want to kill myself even more.

'Sigh'

Let's just get this over with.

I snap my fingers and the whole battlefield is engulfed in a huge magic circle, I had just used my [ Mass Teleportation] skill on everybody in the battlefield. They would all be transported to different places, I think...

I'm not worried about my army all that much since they could survive in any condition. I trained them that way.

But I can't say the same for the enemy.

All in all, I felt that this was a good 'death'.

Of course, I do have some regrets...

I wanted to, at least tell my son about my plan.... but it's better if he doesn't know.

I take some time to notice that I was naked.

I had left all my clothes and armor behind when I transformed into swarm of butterflies.

I look down at my body and shake my head in disapproval.

' This won't do, this won't do at all.'

My body was too muscular... I won't be able to pass of as a traveler like this. There was also the matter of the color of my hair and eyes. With just a glance, people would be able to recognize me... or not. Since the outside world had forgotten about me it shouldn't pose that much of a problem.

But it's always better to be careful.

It's a good thing, that I had knew how to solve this issue.

A month before the battle began, I made my secretary find me some skill books that could help me solve my dilemma. I wonder if she's alright. She's probably a little skeptical about my death since she bought these for me.

The skill books she bought me contained the following skills,

[Hair Dye], a skill that allows me to change my hair color to anything that I want.

[Weak Body], a skill that makes a person look weak.

These two skills were absolutely trash but useful to me and the best thing is that the skill doesn't need mana to use. I can on and off the skills whenever I want as well.

For my eyes, I just had to stop using my skill, [ Eyes of the Almighty]. It was the skill that allowed me to peer into people's status screen, because of how useful it was I would just keep it activated all the time. I wasted a lot of mana like this but it was just more convenient.

My eyes were originally black, but when I use [ Eyes of the Almighty] it turns red. When people saw me, they just assumed that it was my natural eye color... I can't blame them for that can I ?

I do all this in a minute and look at my surroundings silently

The mountain that I was on right now was the wall that separated my territory from my castle.

Everything in a seventy kilometer radius was mine. Literally.

It was all land that I had conquered over the years. There were a lot of villages and even a city or two under my control.

Why didn't I try to get more land ?

I don't know, after awhile of snatching up land.. it just got boring and I stopped. But people still sent their heroes and armies after me.

I'll probably lay low in a village for a few months untill things settle down a little bit.

I start running in the opposite direction of my castle.

After running for a little while, I come across a waterfall.

I suppose, I should take a bath.

I like think of myself as a clean person.

I get into the water and let the cold water soak me.

I get out in exactly fifteen minutes and try to dry myself with some leaves, but it doesn't completely dry the water in my body.

I give up on trying to properly dry myself and start making a makeshift pant. It's just a very big leaf, but it covers all that needs to be covered.

Suddenly I hear rustling in the bushes near me.

I feel the presence of a human, so I speak to whoever is hiding behind the bushes.

'' Come out.. or I'll kill you.''

Nothing happens for a while but a figure comes out of the bushes after I let out a little of the aura I was concealing.

'' P-pleawse d-don't huwrt m-me.''

Huh ?

Who's this little girl ?
