chapter 2
There are five stages of grief.
Denial, anger, compromise, depression, acceptance.
It’s what psychiatrists claim, but when I heard it before, I thought it was just that.
I thought there was such knowledge in the world and went over.
But this time, I felt it deeply.
The 5th stage of grief fits pretty well.
It was a fact that none other than Jung Hyeon-seong himself experienced this time and found out.
‘Whoa… . what the hell is this… .’
A young child with silver hair neatly brushed back.
The boy, who was sure to become a handsome man when he grew up, frowned as much as his shiny silver eyes matched his hair color.
‘I’m possessed… . I’m possessed… .’
Possession.
Something I only saw in the movies happened to me.
At first, I couldn’t believe it at all.
I denied the reality that this was a dream.
‘But damn. No matter how many times I pinch my cheeks and shout, what is the dream that won’t wake me up?’
The pain from the pinched skin was real, not like a lucid dream.
In return for that effort, he received only the anxious gaze of the lady-in-waiting who was in charge of taking care of him.
Denial was followed by anger.
Why did I put myself in such a crappy situation!
I didn’t even do anything particularly big wrong!
However, even when I was angry, I couldn’t be very sharp.
I just have to admit the reality.
‘It was really hard to compromise and accept this.’
And then it came to depression for a short time.
Of course not that long.
The optimistic nature of the original Jung Hyeon-seong also played a part.
“Whoa… .”
Make sure to read from noble mtl . com
Jung Hyeon-seong through the silver hair… no.
The boy, now named Leo, sighed heavily.
Then a voice came from the side.
“Are you worried about anything?”
Leo looked up and looked up.
There was a blunt-looking woman with long blonde hair.
“Ah, Celise. I’m here?”
Celise.
She was one of the ladies-in-waiting who took care of herself, and a dedicated maid who stayed by her side most of the time.
“Yes. Here is the book the prince spoke of.”
Celise politely held out the book with both hands.
“thanks.”
“… … .”
Leo naturally accepted the book.
There was nothing awkward about their conversation or behavior.
It was because even though he possessed it, the original owner’s personality and habits remained in his body.
However, Celise’s expression changed strangely.
‘Something has definitely changed.’
I can’t pinpoint anything, but since about a month ago, the appearance of the prince has changed a little.
That’s just how I said thank you.
Originally, the prince was an obedient child, but now what to say… .
‘It feels like you’ve suddenly matured.’
His Majesty the King, who recently visited, simply thought that his son was young and smart.
However, the king is too busy to visit his own children often.
Besides, there were a total of eight princes and princesses, so it was close to impossible for the king to know all of them.
She was at least aware of it because she was the maid in charge.
‘About a month or so, the Prince has changed a lot.’
Don’t you sigh a lot and mumble something you don’t understand?
I was especially surprised when I met His Highness the King.
Even a child can know everything by the age of seven, so how could he be so calm in front of the king?
Celise stared at Prince Leo.
Leo didn’t even care what she was thinking.
As soon as he received the book, he focused his mind and began to read it.
– Palak. Palak.
The bookshelf moves quickly.
“You seem to like reading books.”
“yes. Fun.”
Leo nodded without taking his eyes off the book.
Celise glanced at the cover of the book the prince was holding.
[About the history of the continent and the next 300 years]
‘… A book like that?’
It’s amazing for a seven-year-old to read something like that, and even think it’s fun.
Sellies also read the book with that long title.
Unlike the normal ladies-in-waiting of noble families, the ladies-in-waiting exclusively for the royal family are taken by members of noble families.
It is to build a kite by getting close to the royal family from a young age.
Sellies, as the daughter of a viscount, also mastered the basics of study and knowledge.
Because of this, I was familiar with the book.
‘It’s a book that gets a reputation for objectively writing the history of the most continent, but it’s full of boring and uninteresting content.’
Since he described the history of the continent in a rigid way, he was bound to fall asleep after reading a few chapters.
If it is true for adults, it will be even worse for children.
However, as if Prince Leo was having so much fun, he didn’t touch any of the snacks placed next to him and focused only on the book.
‘Originally, the degradation was extraordinary, but I don’t think it was to this extent… .’
From an early age, Prince Leo grew faster than normal children in terms of flipping, talking, acquiring knowledge, and being creative.
Because of this, I was personally curious about how I would grow as I grew up and received higher education.
But I never thought I’d show you such a unique side already.
“Selise.”
Suddenly, Leo called her.
Sellise erased the cloud of thoughts rising from her head and answered.
“Yes, lower.”
“I have a question for you.”
“Speak. It’s not enough, but I’ll try my best to answer as far as I know.”
Celise answered calmly.
That said, there are few questions she would not be aware of.
Because she had the education she received as a daughter of a viscount and the knowledge she had learned while becoming the prince’s exclusive maid.
“If you look at this book, the founding father of our kingdom of Rome appears, right?”
“Yes. The king of Karst defeated the chieftains of humans and established a kingdom.”
Celise replied proudly.
One of the five heroes.
The Great Great Mage Karst the Great.
As the progenitor who received absolute support from the Kingdom of Rome, he was a person who was regarded as a person of faith by both commoners and nobles.
It was also the basis for the current Roman family to rule the country peacefully.
“yes. They say King Karst was really great. If you look here, it says that you are the third great mage in history.”
“That’s right. He is also the last great mage. Because the great mage hasn’t been born since Karst the Great.”
Karst the Great, who created the Roman Kingdom.
A great wizard and one of the greatest wizards in history, he established his kingdom through a great war.
It sounds like a fairy tale, but it was clearly real history.
‘But it’s a pity… .’
There are several names that have come close to being a great mage, but none have truly become one.
It’s a pity.
Even if only half of what was written in the history book was true, it was because I could see how great the influence of one great mage on the country was.
“Whoa… .”
Leo sighed again.
Celise put on a worried expression.
“Lowering. Do you have any bad places? Call the priest immediately… .”
Suddenly sighing in the middle of reading a book.
“No, no. It’s fine.”
Leo shook his head.
And then he grumbled inside.
‘Damn it. I can’t even breathe on my own.’
last month.
He asked Celise to read a lot of books.
There’s not much you can’t do as a prince.
In addition, if children already like books, adults usually like them.
Because of this, Leo collected the information he wanted with almost no restrictions.
‘I think I know roughly when this era is.’
thanks i got a lot of info
At first, I thought I had opened my eyes in an unknown body in a new world out of the blue.
But no.
The person who possessed him is the royal family of the Roman Kingdom.
Among them, he had the status of being the youngest prince, Leo.
‘And this… It’s the name of a region in the Lost World.’
Roman kingdom.
King of Karst.
And the current king, Biden, the father of Prince Leo, whom I met not too long ago.
All of them appeared in the game of <Lost World>.
‘I’m really going crazy… .’
Leo dried his face with both hands.
‘I just wanted to raise a new character, not to come into the game… .’
Making a character and pressing the game start button is my last memory on Earth.
Possessed in the game?
I didn’t even want it.
That kind of thing only looks fun when you see it in a novel.
The situation he was facing now was real.
In addition, Prince Leo, Jung Hyeon-seong on Earth has raised more than ten characters of Lost World.
Because of this, I knew very well what the world view of the Lost World was like.
‘It’s a perfect place for a prince or something to stay in an inn while on the road.’
In addition to the Kingdom of Rome, there are many well-known strongmen in other kingdoms and empires.
There, the human race was alive and breathing, and the war was not completely over.
Besides, there are so many unofficial powerhouses whose names are not even known.
An empire trying to expand its territory, a follower of the devil trying to overthrow the world, a black wizard trying to test his power, and so on.
‘To put it simply, it’s a world where people who are crazy about power play the game.’
And he wakes up in such a world.
‘Whoa… .’
Emotions that have been constantly tormenting you for the past month flare up again.
Leo suppressed his emotions.
I already had enough regrets and worries.
‘I shouldn’t waste any more time.’
Where am I and who am I?
I roughly figured out the background and identity.
Now it was my turn to find out.
-widely.
Leo closed the book.
“Have you read everything?”
“yes.”
“Can I get you another book?”
Celise asked casually.
“You have now read most of the outline books on the history of the kingdom. Next, how about looking at the history of the empire? The Empire is a neighboring country with our Roman Kingdom… .”
So far, only ten books Leo has read go far beyond.
And all the books I read were books related to history.
It’s unusual for a prince to like history, but I thought that might be the case.
That is why Sellies now recommends a book on the history of the world.
“no. History is fine now.”
Unexpectedly, however, Leo shook his head.
Celise put on a puzzled expression.
“Then what… ?”
To think he refused to read a history book he had been reading all day except for eating and sleeping for a month.
‘Are you interested in other fields now?’
Leo looked at Celise.
“Selise. Didn’t I say before that I could read any book I wanted?”
“Yes. The Royal Library has books on most subjects, and you can borrow the ones you want.”
“That’s great. Then, bring me the magic book.”
“… Yes?”
Celise asked without knowing it.
To her, Leo smiled kindly and spoke again.
“Spellbook. It would be nice if it was the magic that King Karst learned.”
At the same time, Leo thought to himself.
‘The character of the Lost World I made on Earth is definitely… He was a wizard.’
Before I lost my mind, I had created a character that was perfect for becoming a Munchkin Archmage.
Right after that, I entered the Lost World, so I had to check if that setting had been applied to me.
“All right. After I figure it out, I’ll tell you again.”
Celise greeted politely.
Then, he left Prince Leo’s room.
As I closed the door and went out, I heard Prince Leo’s voice.
He listened intently, thinking he was giving a new order.
But… .
“Status window… Status window… Check my status… . Mr. A. Nothing works.”
The prince muttered to himself into the air, and then suddenly became irritated.
‘… … .’
Sellies was seriously worried about whether she should report to the prince that she needed treatment.
