Chapter 900: Reaction Time: Ordinary Life
Chapter 900: Reaction Time: Ordinary Life
Just by watching my past and the atmosphere turned bad already. Should I say that it was to be expected?
This is not just any illusion. This is my past. It has happened before.
"This is not the worst part. Because this is Roy’s past life. Which means that we will watch our friend here died. At least everyone should be aware that this is the tragedy that we managed to prevent. And we will continue doing our part to prevent any other tragedies to happen like it did in the past life," Albert said.
Since it was Albert who said it, everyone calmed down.
This is my past life. The time when I never left the kingdom. Staying in Tatrama my whole life. So all the tragedies that will be projected in the illusion is something that only happened in Tatrama.
The break this time is longer than expected. Because everyone needed some time to calm down.
Even the Spirit King is patiently waiting for everyone to be ready. Though I don’t think that anything will happen for a long time after this.
"Right. If it’s the past life when Roy didn’t intervene with my kingdom, then Varadis would be under the cult’s control without me knowing," old man Henry said.
"Then I would be dead because, well, I won’t be able to endure the torture for a long time when someone else swapped me and became the king without anyone knowing," Harold said.
Now that I think about it, Fabio and Luna supposed to be safe since Luna noticed that the fake king was not her father. So they must be safe for a while since Fabio supposed to be an advanced level mage at the time.
It might not mean much in the presence of the cult members who might be expert level mages, but they should be able to survive for a while longer.
Maybe they were still alive during the time of my death thanks to Luna’s future vision. Though all their effort by in surviving might be useless since the world was destroyed anyway.
Now everyone started to imagine their own country. What would happen if I didn’t come to their life? What would happen when there’s no alliance?
All that they could imagine was the worst. So now they must be feeling lucky that the worst have been avoided.
So, we watched my past again. Just me trying to leave Melk. Checking my village which got destroyed and then move to Cassau.
It’s truly an ordinary life after this. But thanks to Victoria and Shirley who have watched my past telling the Spirit King about things that was not important to see, we skipped a lot.
They just let us watch some summary of my past. Like how I needed to work gathering herbs to get money and finally deciding to be a doctor. So I need to pay my tuition.
Now that I watched it, I remembered that I actually stole some money from the dead people in Melk. We skipped that part.
I looked at my sister who just smiled knowingly. We only know that we’re siblings not for long, but she already knows me this well.
Well, that’s to be expected.
I mean, we have known each others for a few years already. And she even watched the entirety of my memory. So, other than Victoria, she knows me best than even my own girlfriends.
Well, not for long, I guess. After all, Kayla and the others are also watching my past now.
The illusion suddenly showed something normal after the stampede. Just an ordinary guy working hard to be a doctor.
But for everyone here, they seem to be interested in my ordinary life for some reason.
Well, it’s understandable. After all, I’m the least normal person here despite the fact that there’s a ghost and a Black Slime watching.
And it’s also because none of the people here is normal. A lot of Kings, Queens, Empress, President, royal guards, and expert and master level mages. So it’s actually quite interesting for them to watch.
"Why do we skip the part after Roy got some money? Roy should have more than enough money, but some parts were skipped and he became poor again. What happened?"
The one asking was my nephew, Alan. He’s smarter than kids his age.
Obviously, despite my not so good memory, I kind of remember a lot of things. Like how often I went to a brothel. And that’s the part that we skipped.
Now, how should I answer the innocent question of a kid?
"I’m bad at saving money. So it’s just me spending money recklessly despite the fact that I have to pay for my living and my tuition," I replied calmly.
"Oh, I thought that you spend a lot of money because you have a lot of girlfriends. But in the illusion, you didn’t even have any girlfriend, but you still spend money recklessly. And you didn’t seem to have any new possessions in you in the past life. You must be really stupid," Alan said. Hearing that, everyone laughed.
Alright, Alan. You’re good enough to be a funny guy. Maybe if he refuse to take the throne in the future, I can help you in becoming a clown. You make everyone laugh. Except for me.
"Alan, if you ever try what I really did, you might actually enjoy it. Don’t spend all your money in it," I said.
"Roy, you might be his uncle. But don’t you dare to get my children to do that," Marie said.
She looked angry. I guess I shouldn’t do that.
The illusion continued. And I’m watching it with Sophie beside me. So I get a lot of criticism from her. The one who got her medical license in less time than I did. Several years before I did. In fact, she should still be a student in medicine right now. But because of her genius, she skipped school and became a respectable doctor right away.
She made fun of how I can’t remember stuffs for exam, the names of certain illnesses, and other things quickly.
I was so ashamed. But it’s true that all doctors are smart. And I guess I ended up as the stupidest doctor who passed the exam. Even though it took me years.
Then my day as doctors in Cassau. And Albert sighed seeing how much corruption happened in the hospital alone.
"It’s great that right now, no doctors underestimate Roy anymore. And how I changed the lord of Cassau. Such things won’t happen again," Albert said.
Other kings also took notes on what to do as well to prevent corruption. Especially in hospital. Because the war is still ongoing. And hospital will be packed then.
And Roy in the illusion got fired. I’m so angry at the doctors who got me fired.
Though in this life, such things won’t happen again. Because even Sophie who is a former prostitute can become the best doctor.
"Ah, there are many illnesses that the cure hasn’t been told by Roy. If I can watch the past, then I can learn from it," Sophie said.
Then I won’t have to teach her again. That’s good, I guess.
Once I got to the village, I would read a lot of new discoveries about medicine. If Sophie watch it, then she can learn a lot.
And so, Sophie prepared a pen and some papers to write it down just in case.
There might not be any good information. But we still heard about Marie mental condition because the loss of her daughter.
Of course Lana was shocked. But she calmed down after seeing that I confidently pointed my finger at myself. Telling her that I changed her fate. Then she smiled
After that, it wasn’t shown. But I just heard the news that Cassau was destroyed.
"...Roy, you were quite lucky, huh? Just a few more days, and you will be the victim again," Lynn said.
"I never felt that I was lucky at all," I replied.
It’s just my ordinary life. But these extraordinary people have a lot of things to ask me. I guess it was pretty interesting for them to watch.
"That hospital was the worst. Though it must have been changed now."
"Yeah. If not, then that hospital will lose people’s trust."
Many people were talking about my ordinary life during this time break. Though I feel better because I’m not the only one being humiliated.
It’s Albert who is ashamed because this is Albert’s territory. So he got a lot of criticism.
The others also must have a lot of corruption happening in their territory. It’s just that we can’t see it from the illusion since it’s about my past.
"Why don’t you skip this part?" Albert asked Shirley.
"It’s not something that happened in this life, so it should be fine. Also, we got a lot of complaints because we learned that Roy is our brother. So let them criticize you this time. It will make them feel better," Shirley said.
Albert should have expected this. Because he has read my past that Victoria wrote.
I heard that her writing has been burned. Because it’s dangerous if someone find it, and we’re also getting the Spirit King to show us my past. So what Victoria wrote is no longer important.
Well, I’m just happy that people is criticizing Albert rather than me.
Though my past hasn’t over yet.
