Crownless Reincarnation: New World? Nah I'd win-Chapter 104: Otherworlder [1]

[Edevane Baron household.]

[Krivos Kingdom]

In the broken and unpaved path of the mountain, Akamir walked uphill.

It was already night with the moon illuminating the place.

The voices of insects echoed within the forest as he looked forward.

"What was the emergency?" Nayomi asked, floating beside him.

"I have no idea." Akamir replied, his voice confused. "It just told me to come quickly."

Despite that, it took Akamir the whole day to find the right time.

Even though he could have just teleported then and there, he didn’t choose to.

’I can’t just vanish from a place without any words,’ he thought. ’There are a lot of eyes on me now.’

The wind was cold, brushing against Akamir’s cheeks as he finally spotted the faint outline.

Despite the low dim light, Akamir could clearly sense a mimicker.

As he walked towards it, his gaze shifted to Nayomi.

The blonde woman was staring at the moon with her sky blue eyes.

"What happened?" Akamir asked, tilting his head in confusion.

"It’s the... moon," she said quietly. "It’s so much different from my old home."

Akamir noticed the small change in her voice.

Like she was severely missing her home but didn’t want to show it.

"What was it like?" Akamir asked, looking at the glowing orb. "And you know, my world didn’t have any moon."

Nayomi blinked in surprise. "Really?"

"Yeah." Akamir nodded in response. "My solar system only had three planets moving around a dwarf star."

A prideful look formed on his face. "I was the one who ruled over all of them."

"So, you were a king," Nayomi said, narrowing her eyes.

"How did you guess that?"

"Your behaviour," she replied, looking away. "I noticed it long ago."

Akamir gave a small chuckle, rubbing the back of his neck. "I guess I’m not great at hiding it."

"You’re not," Nayomi said bluntly. "You walk like someone used to being followed. You speak like someone used to being obeyed."

He shrugged. "Old habits."

They kept walking in silence for a few moments.

Akamir once again caught her staring at the moon.

"My world had a moon," Nayomi whispered softly. "It was a lot smaller than the one here."

Akamir glanced at her. Her eyes weren’t glowing like usual. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

"What else was different?" he asked.

"....Not much." Nayomi was quiet for a moment before answering, "You know sometimes the moon here turns crimson."

That took Akamir’s interest immediately. "What do you mean?"

"It becomes blood red," she replied gently. "I have only seen it once, when the spirit world was invaded."

"....I see."

Akamir didn’t ask any more questions as he wasn’t keen on touching her soft spot.

He already knew she doesn’t want to talk about her past.

’Even though, I am fucking interested to know what actually happened.’

"Hey, Akamir," Nayomi said, taking his attention. "Do you... miss your old home?"

Akamir thought about it for a moment, there was a face that formed from his memories.

But he shook those thoughts away.

"I have no one there to call my own," he replied, his voice soft. "So, no. I don’t miss it."

Nayomi nodded her head. "I see."

Akamir turned to look at her. "What about you?" he asked. "Do you miss your home?"

Nayomi didn’t answer right away.

Her gaze drifted back to the moon, her arms crossed gently over her chest as if holding herself.

"...Yes," she said at last, her voice just above a whisper. "Every day."

There was no waver in her tone, but Akamir could feel the weight in it.

"I had people I loved there," she continued. "Friends, family, a place that knew me. And now... it’s gone."

Akamir looked away, giving her a moment.

After a moment of silence, he asked, "You loved your family?"

For him, his only family was his mother.

The queen that wanted to use him as a puppet to rule the world.

Akamir in his previous world was far more superior in everything and his mother took full advantage of it.

’Needless to say, I had her imprisoned in a small countryside for the rest of her life.’

Now that he was gone, Akamir wondered what happened to her.

"My parents were always out of town," Nayomi replied, her voice barely audible. "I wasn’t close to them but... I loved my little sister."

Akamir raised his brow. "Little sister?"

"Yes," she replied, nodding her head. "She was a year younger than me... She was my sister and my best friend."

Akamir slowed his pace without realizing, eyes focused on the path ahead.

"What was she like?" he asked.

Nayomi smiled faintly, her voice softer now. "Loud. Stubborn. Always getting into trouble. But she was the kind of person who could make a whole room laugh without trying."

Her fingers twitched at her side, as if reaching for something that wasn’t there.

"She had this little blue scarf she wore all the time, even in summer. Said it was her lucky charm."

Akamir said nothing for a moment. Then, "She must think you died—."

"Well, that’s a given," she let out a humourless chuckle. "I don’t even know if she is alive."

Akamir didn’t say anything else as he reached the place where he could clearly sense the mimicker.

He threw all the thoughts to the back of his head as he focused in front of him.

It only took a few minutes for a mimicker to quickly leak out from the ground.

Akamir frowned. ’Are they underground?’

He did ask them to check the entire place, even the mines.

The mimicker’s form flickered before it took the shape of a human-like thing.

It bowed towards him. "Master."

"What happened?" Akamir got straight to the point. "Why call me for?"

The mimicker didn’t say, but gestured towards a place. "You should see it for yourself, master."

Akamir frowned as he walked in that direction.

After only a few seconds of walking, he stopped and stared down.

In front of him was an enormous hole whose ending he couldn’t see.

It was like a black hole with no ending.

He looked back at the mimicker. "I need to go down?"

It nodded, whatever shape its head was. "Yes, master."

Akamir let out a sigh and looked at the hole.

’It should work... I hope so.’

He took a step forward and immediately plunged down into the darkness.

The air around him whistled as he plummeted down.

Finally, he saw a flicker of light.

"Float."

Akamir whispered and a translucent form covered his body.

His speed of falling decreased drastically until he began to float downward like a bubble.

Even though he was floating f

Akamir slowly lowered himself towards the light.

Even though he was floating, Akamir felt the air grow colder with each second.

The light below flickered—blue, steady, unnatural.

He reached the bottom in silence. His feet touched the ground softly, dust rising around him.

It was a wide chamber, carved deep into the earth.

The walls were rough, but the floor was smoothed out.

A strange, bluish moss grew along the edges, lighting the space with a faint glow.

The first thing that Akamir noticed was the two enormous towering skeletons.

He slowly walked inside the chamber with Nayomi just beside him.

The other mimickers were still here as they knelt down in front of him, but he didn’t bother with them.

’What the hell...’

His eyes were glued to the body of a dragon and a giant.
