Chapter 25

It's been almost a year since I live in this hell-like mansion.

So many things happen to me. But I have adapted to the treatment of most people in this mansion. I'm glad that I could meet at least two people that will help me in this crazy hell-like place.

I keep reading and accumulating more knowledge about this world. I also trained myself to create a healthy body. As I combine it with Brother Winslow's balanced diet, I'm able to get healthier than before.

My skin became smoother because of the mask and lotion that I created from my previous life knowledge. Using the white eggs, and lemon or honey that Brother Winslow was able to get for me.

My tooth also became white and shiny because I use the salt that I asked from Brother Winslow to clean my teeth.

Sister Ancelina was interested in the secret of my sudden change. There was one time she tried to peek at what I'm doing but in the end, she got scared because she saw me when I applied the mask.

Later I need to lie to her about those beauty treatments. Even Sister Ancelina's a good person but I never thought about telling her about my secrets like how I feel to Brother Winslow because she is never able to hide her expression. And she is too easy for others to read her mind.

It will be risky if I tell her right now. She was able to hide the fact of me helping her mother as she was happy her mother get better and no one really care about how her mother got better.

When I look back at what happening in my current life, I never thought that the trivia I heard in my past life will be coincidentally useful in my current life. My interest in those things that I was never able to try in my previous life is unexpectedly helping me in my current situation. It's just an unexpected coincidence, right?

As I have been ignored by almost everyone in

There are a lot of different other such as the culture, beliefs and other things that didn't exist in my previous life.

As I learned about this world and compare it with my previous world, there are too many differences that I found out. Because I was currently living in a fantasy world with swords and magic. While it has its own romance as a fantasy world, but it's not an ideal world if I compared it with my previous world.

If I listen to Brother Winslow's and Sister Ancelina's stories, it was a harsh world for the poor and the weak. With the monsters and wild beasts roaming in this world, those who are weak will have a hard time protecting themselves. If you are weak but rich, you might be able to hire people such as mercenaries or adventurers to protect you. But the poor could only depend on their luck and fate.

As I try to find any information about the monsters, I continue to search for more information about them. Books by books that I read from the library for and I finally found out a strange book. It was a book with a thick cover. It contains strange poems but I accidentally found it's secret.

There is a note that is hidden on the cover. I found out about its secret because I have found a similar book in my previous life. It was strange to secretly take it out and hide it in my room.

At first, I feel strange because it was just a blank piece of paper that I found in the secret compartment. But when I try to find the secret, I realized that it was written with an invisible ink. I only realized it because there was some lemon-like smell from the blank paper. As I try to heat the paper, the things written in that note are revealed.

It inspires me to start similarly writing my secret notes. The most simple way to create an invisible ink is to use pure lemon juice as an ink. At least it will hide what I am writing in that notes until I can leave this place with my mother.

The notes were written in rune language. The rune language is similar to the rune in my previous life. As I often got a supernatural accidents, there was a time when I learned some occult things such as the angel and rune alphabet or some spells but all of it was something that never worked.

I decided to read it with my knowledge. The notes were being written in a fairytale-like story format. As I started reading, I found out that it contains the information about the monsters.

If the commoners were able to have some knowledge about the monsters, they might raise the probability of their survival.

Lack of knowledge and information about how to defend themselves from monsters is also the reason why there are so many people died in the yearly monster wave attack.

There is no logical explanation for how the monsters appear. The only explanation for it was related to the God of Chaos's creation.

It was written as the God of Chaos trying to take this world from the God of Creation, Goddess Elysian. To steal the authority of the Goddess Elysian, The God of Chaos tries to get the soul of the Goddess's beloved child, the Saintess.

At first, he sent his minion, the monsters to this world. But the God of Chaos was unable to kill the Saintess. That's why he decided to another plan and entice the existing race in this world to help him kill the Saintess. But there is no continuation in these strange notes.

It seems to be containing some secret history of this world.

I have finished reading all of the books in the library after keep reading for almost a year. And because of Brother Winslow's constant nagging after I get a fever, currently I have a good and healthy schedule. Not only I'm able to eat three times a day but also get enough sleep.

They suddenly stopped bullying me as they often did before as they more often ignoring me right now. Some of them still pushing or trying to trip me when they met me. But they are a minority.

The only person who was quite constant with his child abuse behaviour was my tutor. He still hit my hand or feet whenever we met. Of course, part of it was caused by my acting like an idiot in front of him. That person must be heartless as he dares to hit me when I act like a cute and foolish little Lolita.

Oops, I need to stop thinking about such an unimportant thing.

I decided to write what I remember and the things that I want to find out in my notes with the invisible ink that I just create from the leftover lemon juice that I use in my mask. Lately, I often make myself write something to avoid my overthinking habits. It was effective as I am able easily to fall asleep.

Yawn. I started to get sleepy.

I decided to stop reading and decided to go to sleep.

***

I can't see anything.

There is only darkness.

Suddenly a bright light appears. A beautiful blonde hair woman appears in front of me. Strange, for some reason I can't see her face as if it was hidden by the bright light.

She open her mouth and said something in unknown language but unexpectedly I could understand what she meant.

"I'm sorry I couldn't prevent his plans as he took away my believer. I could only save your soul from falling into his hand. You need to find the protectors of this world if you want to survive in your next life."

She said it with a sad tone.

I tried to ask her about what she meant but nothing come out of my mouth.

"I can only save you one more time to get away from his grasp. I hope you will be able to find the protectors and get their help to avoid the world destruction...."

I could not hear anything even though she still saying something.

I feel like being thrown into a vortex and feel really dizzy.

***

I opened my eyes and saw a familiar view.

It was my room in this hell-like mansion.

I feel a bit dizzy. Maybe it was because I read that strange secret notes before I go to bed. I also put the story written in that notes as something I could look for in the future if I could run from the other game characters.

'This is crazy. Did I work myself too hard lately?'

Well whatever it was, it was just a dream. I just to do my best. Besides, what does the protector of this world mean? Is there something like some kind of guardian or maybe a superpower group like in some story in my past life?

As I imagined about what I saw in animes or movies, why do I see some disturbing images where an ugly man uses a magical girl costume?

Ugh. Damn, I just remembered the cosplayer in my previous life.

That was one of what I don't want to remember. What an unlucky day. I hope that nothing as disgusting as that happens again to me.

I decided to do my morning exercise to exorcise that evil, bad and unlucky thought.

Today, there will be a new class that I need to attend.

What a bleak day.
