"Reincarnation huh?... That explains everything, how I got here, why everything look and feels different, and also why they think I'm Aldric" I concluded sitting up for the second time, "but I'm curious about the adaptation ... What could it be?" I wondered noticing another window displayed in front of me

After reading the Instructions on the new popped up window I immediately tapped the 'START BUTTON' revealing another window but this time with a different colour, this was surprising but I had to focus on the matter at hand now.

"So Everhert is my last name?..., and if I'm correct adaptation just means I have to adapt to this new world" I thought, "this should be interesting"I smiled my expression changing as I could think of infinite things to try out in this new world.

[HALLWAYS OF THE DUKE MANSION]

"You heard about the incident involving the dukes son?" A maid asked "yes,they say he fell from the top floorcand died instantly but some other rumors said he was pushed off it"another maid replied " could it really be true?" The first maid asked unaware that their conversation was had been overheard by a knight who instantly shunned them, "you two had better focus on your duties than the affairs of the grand dukes family"the knight warned walking past the maid and heading for the audience room he had news for the grand duke important news.

"I had already gotten bored of staying in my room so I walked out of the mansion and headed for the garden, for some reasons the two guards behind me kept following me (OBVIOUSLY KNIGHTS), "won't you two just leave me alone?"I asked getting pissed "NO"they replied quickly catching up to me as I tried running away "leave me alone, that is an order" I commanded "we were ordered to protect you by the grand duke himself until your real knight gets back Lord Aldric, by law the orders of the grand dukes surpasses that of the dukes son" they replied again and now that I thought about it. While unconscious I heard someone asking them to double the guards "what a pain"I sighed quickly turning around and trying to enjoy my walk when I noticed a human figure standing in front of me but as I blinked it was gone, "was I hallucinating or was nothing actually there "I wondered taking another step when I felt a dagger placed on my throat, "who are you ?" I asked boldly "no one for you to be concerned about Lord" he replied with a laugh "cuz you'll be dead soon anyways" he continued tracing the dagger down my neck slowly. Turning my head around I could find the guards following me earlier down, they had cuts on their body and were bleeding severely, "ya know the other guys failed at their attempt but I won't make that mistake" he said getting ready to slit my throat open "what do I do?..... What do I do?....."I asked trembling when it hit me, in my past life I had watched a lot of self defense shows as a guarantee to protect myself from being bullied. At this point I had to make the decision of either using the skills I learnt from those shows or wait for help "no one's coming....., no one..., my past life already thought me that depending on others was a waste of time, and that in other to survive I had to be strong, I had to use my strength, this was my second chance at life and I wasn't planning on repeating the same mistake twice" I yelled pushing my elbow back slamming the guy behind me so hard his dagger fell, "I'm not done yet!!!" I yelled again grabbing his right arm and extending my right leg further back placing his weight on my shoon the floor so hard it caused a tremor. "That was ....*exhales* unexpected"I exhaled, with a surprised gaze I stared down at the man who tried to kill me as he laid unconscious on the floor "I really did that" I asked still surprised I could do that when another window got displayed in front of me
