After the screen disappeared his smile was a grotesque sight to behold as he spoke in his baby whines no one in the luxurious room could understand
"goo gah gah goog gahgoo" (this is amazing I can't wait Im already exited so I guess my new name is leo the son of a prestigious noble household).
A few years passed from that moment he turned four years old a few months ago and at his birthday banquet recently he'd got engaged to marie xshoa a young girl the same age white flowing beautiful hair red piercing eyes and a beautiful face a real beauty even so young it was just as the diary described other than one thing weirdly she didn't despise him and was just cold for now and they'd both just recently enrolled in the royal swordsmanship and magic academy they'd be there for the foreseeable future as the academy was where you'd live for your entire school life until graduation well if you ever do graduate as the academy even holds the princesses of the kingdom in the academy because it was so prestigious.
He was in the carriage with his personal maid he'd learned to walk over the past few months and read the language and he'd had multiple meetings with his fiancé over playdates but she was as cold of ice towards him and barely spoke to him but he'd noticed her getting extremely talkative to the son of a knight of his noble house with his lifetime of experience he knew what was going on but because he was actually mentally with his combined life times 28 including this life then he felt fine letting her fall for someone her actual age and even through the engagement he'd never done anything whatsoever boyfriend like because for ..
A 28 YEAR OLD IT WOULD BE ILLEGAL.
but moving on from that he sleeps in the carriage because despite being mentally 28 he's still in the body of a 4 year old and still can't control his body, as he sleeps he's transported Into the white void again in the past few months he's gotten used to the sensation of being transported into this endless void where he's already attempted to run in but even after days of running he'd eventually see the desk again as if he's ran in a circle despite running straight forwards the entire time as he arrived in the white void once again he sees something new a 2nd door but it wasn't as beautiful as the first it looked old and worn with parts of the wood rotting but nevertheless intrigued he reaches for the handle and a audible click.
However the door wasn't to another world this time surprisingly it was a empty black endless void like the white one but there was no desk or anything.
As he thought about when would he would he wake up back in the wooden pristine carriage a bed appears in the black void then he realizes anything that he imagines appears in this black void just like when he thought of waking up the bed appeared right Infront of his eyes.
As time went onwards Hours pass in the black void but in the carriage only minutes have passed and as he continues imagining stuff in the black void he imagines a field with a running track to run on and weights and a straw dummy and a wooden sword they all materialize Infront of him.
He practices the sword for days straight his hands forming callouses and his chest heaving and then finally body collapsed against the dummy and then he closes his eyes and when he opens them he sees the carriage roof and his maids face above his.
Finally he's returned back from the white void and his hands are fine as if nothing happened at all to him and the window of the pristine carriage and sees the sun is still up beaming through the foggy sky shining above all in the area but that also means "goo gha goo goo gah gah" (it's only been a few hours here but for me it was a few long days doesn't that mean l could spend weeks in the white void but outside in the real world it would only have been 3-4 days ).
then as he returned from his thoughts and recoils backwards and stumbles as he sees the maids face right above him then remembers the maids face was so close because they had finally arrived at the noble swordsmanship and magic academy (hiragiso-soni).
his mind buzzed with multiple emotions at once first was excitement at the prospect of magic but as fast as excitement appeared in his thoughts so did fear because what if he got injured from this academy...
But to him it did not matter he thought .. it's a chance at a new life in this world with the magic I've dreamed of for a long time in my life on earth so it's ok if I Die because I'm just lucky to be here because I've already died once before and got this second chance at life so I'll just consider everything in this world extra time for me to live the life I've always wanted.
if I Die so what because it's borrowed time either way I'll just try experience everything I can before I die..
He steps out of the carriage and sees a golden shimmering building with a sign saying recruitment hall as he saw that he got exited with his shining bright illusory golden eyes he enters the hall and gets teleported in a spell but what he sees shocks him the spell malfunctions and instead of him being transported into the schools main reception hall he got transported to...
"THE MONSTER WORLD" he exclaimed aloud terrified but as minutes passed he stood there still and calmed down and said to himself quiely careful not to attract demons or beasts from him speaking loudly.
"ok ok calm down your not actually a kid... Phew so basically what I know about this place from my families whispers near me is it's a dangerous alternate dimension only adults and 14 year olds can enter they whispered to eachother it's a evil murderous place filled with monsters and demons and the only way out is the portal you come through but umm I didn't come through a portal so how am I supposed to leave this hellish world.."
He looks around seeing fresh and rotting dead bodies and dried blood and monster carcases surrounding him from all sides and he steps carefully over them as he explores the monster world for hours he spots a dark cave he walks closer and saw on the walls that there were scribbles of writing in red.
"do not enter and under no circumstances drink the golden potion if you discover it hidden inside the cave leave it where you found it-"
leo can't read the rest as it's covered in blood he can just barely make out a few more of the words written hidden beneath the blood
"PLEASE FOR YOUR OWN SANITY..."
However ignoring the warning leo enters the cave anyway as the outside was more dangerous for now he's immediately hit with the smell of rotting flesh and fresh and dried blood he walk further anyway and enters a room filled with demons.
they turned to him but ignore him maybe due to him not being sensed because of his age as these demons eyes were gouged out and it didn't look fresh it looked old so they were most likely blind and then just in case his theory was wrong he made sure to go quickly.
Leo quiet as the wind sneaks by them further into the cave seeing many more monsters and demons along the way but managing to sneak past using his small child body but then near the end of the cave he gets shivers down his spine and flinches scared to his core.
Because he saw Infront of him the huge form of a monstrous demon towering over him his horns as large as the demons bodies from earlier eyes open wide he tries slipping by without getting detected again but unlike before with the other demons this demon opens it's dark empty souless black eyes and stares at him not moving.
leo ran as fast as he could but the demon Grabs his leg as he was running and crushes it brutally in it's huge hand the red sticky blood gushing out while his leg bone was pulverised and the demon rips the leg clean off as the only thing heard was a loud CRACK ..
leo shock looks down where his leg used to be and sees a small stump dripping red and bone fragments sticking out of it he can't speak for a second and then all throughout the cave gut wrenching screaming is heard.
"AHHHGG AHHH AGHHG MY LEG"
His tears flowed down his face without restraint because he was for the first time in both his lives truly afraid his body quivering from the pain and terror he felt at that moment but not wanting to give up the second chance he's been given in life he doesn't stop trying to escape.
as the demon lets go of his now pulverised leg the blood dripping on the cold stone cave floor he begins to crawl to the large stone door ahead it was his last hope of survival he was trying his best to crawl fast at the same time..
His clear watery tears gradually the tears we're turning into thick Crimson droplets of bloodthat was dripping into the big cracks in the stone floor the sound was deafeningly loud to his own ears he could hear the sound of..
Drip Drip Drip Drip hitting the floor slowly
leo crawls to the end of the cave the door behind him closes keeping the demon away but the heavy stone door also falls down onto his other leg crushing it beneath the door the bone shattered instantly blood spewed out from where his leg should have been onto his face
His face now covered in red blood and a tsunami of tears he looked so pitiful at that moment his face a mask of overwhelming pain and fear but then he sees IT...
the golden liquid in a glass tube he remembers seeing written about in blood from the start of the cave he crawls pathetically like a crushed bug to the altar it was floating above precariously.
reaching up he takes it and without thinking too much he gulps it down and then collapsed to the ground in his own blood couching vigorously convulsing on the ground.
the glass he was holding moments ago that used to contain the golden potion shattered next to him with a resounding shattering noise echoing through the small stone room as he lost his grasp of The empty potion .
After a long while albeit painfully He opened his eyes once more breathing heavily and labored and looked down at his legs they were still There WHAT.. he thought inwardly...
BUT they were crushed by that monster and door was it a dream no no it couldn't have been it was too real I felt the wind the cold shiver down my spine while I was running the warm blood from my legs enveloping my shattered body
Only then did he started to look around realizing he's in his carriage safe and sound outside the hall he entered hours earlier he's back he was ACTUALLY BACK in the carriage outside the academy once more and completely healed at that.
He then realized wait I actually Just went back in time he sighed in relief and then thought maybe it due to the golden liquid he had drank in the cave before collapsing from the pain...
