Memories Part 1

Previously:

*Ding*

[Wait…. How’s this possible…It’s permitted…]

What is?

[I can go with Master; this has never happened before]

What do mean by this has never happened before? Are there other Systems?

Present:

[Prepare for Setting down into your new body. After the memories finish being implemented, you can call for me. I’ve been given permission to follow you down and aid you in your journey.]

Hey, answer my question, you purposefully ignored it haven-

{Mace’s Conversation ends abruptly}

Suddenly, Mace dropped down to towards this massive planet at a frightening speed. Lights That were illuminating the monstrous sized continent looked like beams around him while he quickly approached the top left kingdom.

In less than half a second, Macey travelled through millions of miles to get to his destination, all the way into a lifeless body within a small shed.

Swoosh.... Air blew around the body.

few moments later...

“Augh…”

Slowly, Mace opened his eyes and saw a dark ceiling above his head.

Excruciating pain began to overtake Mace.

He began to scream in pain.

This pumping feeling felt like his heart was in his head and was on the verge of exploding.

Unable to raise his head, all he could do was helplessly wait for this pain to reside.

He groaned in pain.

It didn’t subside for a few minutes...

A bright light appeared into the Mind of Mace. This bright light slowly eased its way towards the front of his mind before eventually taking over his whole Internal sight within his mind. This light knocked out Mace for a moment.

“Huh where…"

" Where is this…”

Murmurs from afar can be heard at the end of the white light.

“This is…"

"the memories of the me in this world.”

*Flash*

Memories began to show containing the life and hardships of the Mace-lookalike in this world.

The owner of this body was called Tora.

Tora was born into the Kingdom called Rosa.

It’s the second largest kingdom after the Kingdom of Alfraya and was located on the top left side of this continent.

The borders of this kingdom were 20 metres high concrete, white in colour, bordering the whole kingdom from the outside. In the central city sat another 20-metre wall that was separating the city from the normal citizens within the kingdom. Thousands of miles separated these two pairs walls and in between sat the lives of millions of Rosa's citizens. In the Capital City of Kern, lived the noble families of this kingdom; 4 of them, considered Core Nobles due to their Wealth and Rank, resided here, taking a corner of this enormous sized city.

Along with these 4 Large noble families, were minor noble families that were spread about between the 4 corners of the city. The walls of the Core Noble houses were coloured in 4 distinct colours, blue, red, brown and white. In the centre of the city sat another 20-metre border separating the nobles from the royalty.

Though an erected wall separated the Royal Estate from the rest of the kingdom, the Estate could be seen from beyond the first walls of the Kingdom as it had sat on an elevated platform, atop a mountain. This allowed it to be seen in all its Majesty.

Here in the epicentre of the kingdom, lived the Queen of Rosa along with her family.

Tora was born into one of the Noble families of the Kingdom. Even though being Nobility, Tora was never treated like one due to his inability to use Magic as well as his lack of skills when it came to forming Magic Circles. In this continent, those who have magic ability are seen as superior to those who didn’t. A Nobility without magic is seen as something less than a poor commoner from outside the Kingdom borders with the magic Rank of 1.

As a result, he’d been kicked out of his noble family 4 years ago and had been living out his normal life here, in a field far from the Kingdom; a remote patch of land with a single path to and from the kingdom while the other side leads to untold adventures.

Only recently was he contacted by his family. They wanted to use him in a political marriage with one of the other minor noble families within the Kingdom. This was seen as a normal act of establishing relations between two households of common interests. Though being of higher rank, the noble family of Tora wanted to use this opportunity to cast away the shame of their family.

Tora went back to Kern Capital City to see what this supposed marriage was about but was laughed at and pestered by the nobles around. His own brothers and sisters looked down at him as if he were worse than Dog Urine and sadly...

He too believed in his inferiority.

Depressed, unloved, these were the two most common feelings he’d felt whenever he’d return to the Kingdom.

Anger followed, though his weakness didn’t allow him to express it whatsoever.

The only ever person he believed truly cared about him was his childhood friend, Leyla, that he’d known for 15 years. With; long red hair and long eyelashes along with a perfectly aligned face, she was a brown eyed beauty that had the body of an hourglass. Though to say an hourglass figure would be incorrect as she had a smaller bosom than average, but she made up for that with her hips and looks not to mention her ample thighs. Leyla was from one of the minor noble families that lived within the city of Kern and would make trips to Tora’s family mansion to have play dates with him.

She was the love of his life and meant absolutely everything to him but upon arriving in the city, he’d witnessed her strolling along with Edward Waterlily, from the Waterlily Noble family, one of the 4 Minor Noble families known for their deep lineage of water Element users.

This ripped the heart of Tora apart as this person used to severely bully him during their time at the Magic Academy.

What hurt him was not the fact that she was close with another man,

No...

It was the fact that she has seen Edward bully Tora hundreds of times and she would listen to how Tora had expressed his hatred of him, confining in her with the emotions that he’d bottled up. Though, with this, it looked like she didn’t even care.

She never really cared about how Tora felt, at least to him at that moment, that’s what it seemed.

He’d always been around her, believing one day that she too would at least acknowledge him as a man, but Tora now recognised the treatment she’d been giving him, the same treatment that made him feel like, to her, he was someone more important than anyone else, this same treatment was but pity and nothing more.

Disheartened and distraught, Tora would later go to his family’s estate and hear that the proposed marriage had been pushed back a year due to the intended bride being too “unhealthy” to meet with anyone currently. But Tora knew the truth.

She did not want to date an “ugly worthless failure” of a man. That was apparent to anyone and everyone that took a single glance.

There had been rumours that she’d in fact been very reluctant when it came to even seeing Tora face to face. Tora expected this too.

Rumours also spread around of a supposed lover she has in secret, but nobody really cared to see how marrying someone frivolous like this would make Tora feel.

Mace felt a kinship and sorrow after witnessing this memory.

sadness enveloped Mace, "this is too much..." he thought.

Tora was once again kicked out from the city by his family and returned to his old worn-out shed, instructed to wait a year before returning.

Unfortunately, that time was never to come...
