Chapter 2: Waking up as Luciel Scarlet

[Ringgg

Sunshine, sunshine

Please wake me up before you go, oh oh]

As soon as Luciel heard the sound, he immediately woke up, jumped away from the sound, and tried to look for his dagger.

However, when he was looking for his dagger, he finally realized that he was in a different place.

"Huh?"

[Ringgg

Sunshine, sunshine

Please wake me up before you go, oh oh]

Luciel just stood where he was and observed the place he was in. He was in a very luxurious room, and it seemed that he had just woken up from sleep as the duvet was in disarray because he jumped out of the bed.

The room he was currently in was very neat and tidy, which he hadn't seen for a long time. He doubts that even the rich people at the base wouldn't be able to afford to keep such a luxurious room.

A while ago, he was still fighting some monsters because the base he was in was finally breached by monsters, but now he was suddenly in such a nice room. So, he only stood there without moving and kept looking around the room.

Please wake me up before you go, oh oh]

Sunshine, sunshine

Please wake me up before you go, oh oh]

After the fourth ring, he finally walked to the bed and saw a smartphone beside the pillow, which he hadn't seen for seven years. He stooped the alarm and immediately went to the camera app and set it to himself.

He saw a face that looked just like himself seven years ago. As soon as he saw himself on the screen, he suddenly had an unbearable headache.

Just like watching a movie, he saw a lot of images flashing before him. He watched a person similar to himself grow up until he was 21 years old.

Luciel finally realized that he woke up as Luciel Scarlet in a different world. The original 'Luciel Scarlet' died because he got too shocked by the scary movie he was watching last night.

Even though his head still hurt, Luciel still stood up and went to where the window was. After opening the curtain, he immediately looked at the scenery outside.

From where he was, he could see a wide view of the city. Buildings stretch out in all directions, including some parks and green spaces with trees. The streets were busy with cars and people going about their day.

The sky was also clear, with a few clouds floating by. The city feels lively and full of energy.

It was so different from the overcast sky and destroyed buildings and mutated plants he had often seen in the last seven years.

He was finally seeing scenery just like seven years ago—just normal modern scenery without any monsters crawling around.

He finally accepted that he had really transmigrated to a different body and to a different world.

After looking around, Luciel laughed with joy and said, "Ha ha ha. I can finally enjoy such peaceful scenery again! No more eating expired food! No more sleeping in the open space! And there is no need to fight daily! To whomever brought me here, thank you very much. I will enjoy this life to the fullest!"

After laughing with joy, Luciel just stood there, watching the bustling scenery he hadn't seen for a long time, until his stomach protested due to hunger a lot of times.

He had always been hungry for the past seven years, so he was used to ignoring the hunger he felt. The food supply always lacked because the land was contaminated, and even the plants mutated into different forms, making them unsuitable for human consumption.

With the lack of food supply, he was often hungry because the portion of food they were distributing had always been small, even for fighters like them.

He was used to suppressing his hunger, so when his stomach protested, he just let it be until he saw an ice cream advertisement on one of the billboards.

"Huh? Yeah, I'm in a different world already. No need to go hungry!"

Luciel went to look for the room smartphone, called for room service, and ordered a lot of food from their menu.

He hadn't been able to eat proper meals for a long time. Now that he finally had a chance to eat again, he would, of course, enjoy it. While waiting for the food, he still stood beside the window and continued watching the scenery outside.

If someone had asked him seven years ago if he would miss such a scene, his answer would definitely be no. Seven years ago, he wouldn't have missed such a noisy place and a city that always had traffic.

However, after seeing creepy mutations of plants, destroyed buildings, and streams of monsters, seeing such a peaceful modern life was really comforting.

Knock knock

Luciel opened the door and saw the hotel attendant, and stared for a bit. He could finally see a normal person without any sign of hunger or tiredness, and he even had a smile on his face.

In the past seven years, he has gotten used to seeing hungry, tired, angry, sad, haggard, deceitful, helpless, and apathetic faces. Seeing such a smiling face really let him see that he was in a peaceful modern society.

"Sir, these are the dishes you ordered. Please enjoy your meal! If you need anything, don't hesitate to call us."

"Okay, thank you," Luciel received the trolley and closed the door.

Luciel put all the dishes on the dining table and started eating. He ordered so much food that at least three people could eat it, but as he hadn't eaten such delicious food for a long time, he finished all the food he ordered.

Most of the time, he could only eat hard bread, and he would even eat expired food as there were only a few stocks left.

So, eating such delicious dishes upon waking up was really great!
