Chapter 1: Lost in Another World
A blue sky.
White clouds.
The trees that was thick and deep green growing so full they seemed ready to cover everything, as if they were inviting him into another world.
"...It’s exactly. Another world."
Where was this place?
That was Qiong Xing’s first thought.
No matter where he looked at from right or left there were trees, trees, and more trees.
At least he understood one thing: he was in a forest.
He understood that much, but where was this place?!
He woke up alone in an unfamiliar forest and it felt a little lonely.
"Hm... maybe I should have listened more carefully."
That thought fit Qiong Xing well.
They had explained things to him seriously, but Qiong Xing had been confused and it seemed he had missed most of what they said.
However, That was just an excuse.
In truth, Qiong Xing had simply gotten tired because the explanation was long and annoying, and he had tuned it out.
It was completely his own fault.
Yes, Qiong Xing was a reincarnated person.
He had definitely died in his previous life, but strangely, he did not feel much sadness about it.
Even Qiong Xing himself thought of himself as a boring person.
He had agreed to come to this world because he was asked, but now he wondered what he was supposed to do next.
Normally, when someone being reincarnation into another world that’s meant that boys or girls reborn as heroes or heroines and they would be dragged into huge events that shook the world and go on great adventures, just like in the novels.
Of course, Qiong Xing wanted nothing to do with that.
He had said it was impossible anyway, especially considering his age.
But then they cried and begged him, saying he could live freely instead.
In the end, they even gave him a fresh youthful 16 year old body and that was how things ended up like this.
"Staying here won’t change anything. For now, I have no choice but to move forward, but... ah."
As if he had found something great, he picked up a tree branch lying nearby that was just the right size.
When you get lost, this is the way to do it!
He held down one end with his index finger and then slowly let go.
"Achoo!"
Thud.
He sneezed at the exact moment he released it, but it seemed the path had been decided.
"Alright then. First goals: escape the forest and find villagers. Let the exploration in another world begin."
After checking the tip of the fallen branch, Qiong Xing walked forward without hesitation.
Yes, he followed the direction the tip of the branch was pointing.
Not the end he had been holding down with his finger, but the end that had been touching the ground.
"Wait a second! Why are you going that way?! That’s the wrong direction, the wrong way!!"
Seeing Qiong Xing walk in the opposite direction from what he expected, the blond boy shouted at the top of his lungs, not caring that his beautiful shoulder length golden hair was flying around in a mess.
