《A Sage's Different World Logs》 Chapter 0: After 3000 years. the Sage finally leaves the Forest of Beginning(Temp) "Tools okay, food okay, clothes okay.... hmmm.... scrolls okay.... now then, I''m going out for a bit." Ya. nice weather were having? Hmmm.... no that''s not it.... Let''s do it again. Ya, it is to my pleaure to meet you, my name''s Lauria..... no, wait, it kinda feels wrong in more ways than one. Hmmm? Ahhh, I give up. Anyways, the name''s Laria. I''m a 3030 year old virgin who got transferred to a different world for no apparent reason or whatsoever. I didn''t meet up with a god nor did I get mixed up in an acciddent. Everything happened in an instant. 1 second I was in my room the next second I found myself in the middle of a forest. What''s more, my height, body and even my gender changed! Well, I''m not complaining though. Since before my transfer, I''ve already thought of this body as my second body though. Mostly because this body was the game character I spent hours to make and played it for years. I even used real money for this character. Well, the only problem I had with that game was how the class systems were gender locked though. I mean, who still make class gender locked games in this day in age! Because of that system, I was forced to pick a female character! I mean, as a solo player, a character that''s able to use both healing and offensive spells can be quite enticing! This narrative has been purloined without the author''s approval. Report any appearances on Amazon. What''s more, as I progressed through the game, the cursing ability and buffing ability of that class made me want to play it some more! Well, looking at a Black Haired, red eyed 16 year old girl wearing a some gothic clothes while churning out giant fire balls was quite pleasing to my eyes. So, it wasn''t all that bad. Oh yeah, let me also add that that character was a ''Vampire Ancestor''. It''s because of that race''s special trait. Specifically it''s ability to obtain mana from attacking enemies with magic and regaining hp from physically hitting them. I was aiming for a high sustain kind of character. As a result of that, I managed to create an Ice Specialist Magic Vampire that''s able to use Healing and Purifying Spells. Quite a weird character if I do say so myself. Well, thanks to this set-up though, I''m able to fight against big bosses in long battles of attrition. The only drawback is that whenever I try to join some parties, I always get the supporting role though. Haaaa~ Well, for now, lets get back to topic. After living a shut-in life in a different world with this body for 3030 years, I''ve finally decided to leave the ''Forest of Beginning(Temp)''!!! Iyaaa~ Because I enjoyed researching magic and stuff like that, I didn''t notice that 3000 years had passed by though. Hehe, my bad. Ah. that''s right,the reason why I knew how long I''ve been holing up is quite simple. It''s because of the magic watch and calendar I made! Well, it''s calibrated in Earth year''s though, so I''m not sure how accurate it is on this world. Okay then, with all that said, let''s begin our journey! Spoiler: Spoiler It''s a pleasure to meet you. I''ve been a lurker of this sight for a long time already and loved the stories of this site. I wanted to post my own story for quite some time now, but didn''t really have the courage. Hahaha.... well, anyways, I hope you had a great time reading this short prologue. Till next time. Chapter 1: Travelling In the middle of a certain forest, a young girl with black hair and red eyes could be seen walking while reading a book. She wore clothes that closely resembled the modern Gothic fashion which could only be seen on modern day earth. What¡¯s more this girl was carrying a large backpack behind her back. Furthermore, even with such a great mismatch in clothes, bag and place. The girl showed no signs of minding it. Anyone with a normal fashion sense would cringe at the sight of her. By the way, that girl is me, Yuria. Hehe~ Well, don¡¯t blame me for having these mismatched items okay. Even with 3000 years of research, I couldn¡¯t use space-time magic. So me carrying a backpack for extra clothes, supplies and some camping gear were necessary. As for the clothes, well, let¡¯s just say it¡¯s my hobby. I mean, look! I¡¯m a 3000 year old Vampire Ancestor that has an outer appearance of a 16-year old girl. So, me wearing some gothic clothes is the most natural thing to wear! By the way, all of this were self-made by me. Magic really is convinient~ Even me, a shut-in with no specialized knowledge in producing things like me, can easily make stuff equal to the products of modern day earth. Hahaha! Well, it did took me 500 years to make such a magic though! Now that I think about it, didn¡¯t I only have 1 set of clothes during my early days? ¡­.This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report. ¡­.. ¡­... Cough. Lastly, as for the book, that¡¯s because only walking for hours can be BORING! Well, reading a book in the middle of a forest can be dangerous. However, I have magic! By creating a warding barrier, a protective barrier and a stealth barrier around me, the danger of getting attacked by wild animals or colliding into trees can be prevented. Well, a small circle with geometric patterns, a.k.a. magic circle, formed under my feet as a result of those barriers though. But, that¡¯s just sweating the small stuff. Okay then, now that that¡¯s out of the way. Let¡¯s continue reading this book about magic that I wrote a few hundred years ago. Well, it was just a book that I wrote out my delusions though. So me telling you guys about what¡¯s in it is a nono! Hmmm¡­.? Wait a moment, just am I talking to? ???? ¡­. W-well, prolonged isolation can do a lot of things to the mind. Un, yeah, let¡¯s leave it at that. Time to get back into reading. -5 days later= Hahaha~ being a vampire really is great! Not needing sleep and being able to see in the dark is truly wonderful! Because of that, the need for camping and stuff like that had been rendered useless! Damn it! Well, since I¡¯ve already brought it with me, going back home to leave it there is already a pain. So let¡¯s just bring it. Who, knows, maybe it¡¯d prove useful someday. ¡°Hmm?¡± While, I was talking to myself, I noticed a small change of scenery around me. Well, during the 5 days of traveling that I did, the scenes already changed a number of times though. From a forest, to a prairie to a lakeside to a vast grassland. However, the scene before me was clearly made artificially. What¡¯s more, though it¡¯s part of the scene, it had it¡¯s uses and functions. It functions to connect a town to another town. And, it¡¯s used to allow vehicles travel more comfortably. In short, right now, I was looking at a road. Well, it¡¯s not cemented and the like though. At, best, it¡¯s just a clearing of artificially flattened ground without grass that snakes toward a direction though. Well, thinking of cemented roads in a world that has magic is feels kinda stupid and surreal. Anyways, since I¡¯m seeing a road now, this means that civilization is closeby! So, for now, let¡¯s follow this road and see where I¡¯ll arrive! Chapter 2: First contact I have finally arrived! After almost 6 days of traveling, civilization has appeared before me at last! Let¡¯s not count the days(millenniums) of when I was shutting my self in a forest cause that isn¡¯t important. Hahaha~ Now then, first things first. Before coming into contact with some unknown entity the very first thing we should do is observed. A place that¡¯s high enough to observe the entire town would be good. Hmm, a hill would be nice. Un, right, for now let¡¯s find a hill. Hmm... huh? There¡¯s some people coming out of the gate. Should I go over there and say hi to them? Or should I just observe them from afar and see what they¡¯re doing. ¡­ ¡­. ¡­.. Unn, nothings gonna happen if we just stay still. For now, let¡¯s just pose as a traveler and walk to them. Well, technically, I¡¯m not posing as one cause I am one. Hahaha. But, what should I say to them? Should I say hi? Or hello? But what if they think of me as someone who¡¯s suspicious. The clothes that I¡¯m wearing is kinda weird, but I¡¯m not suspicious looking, right? ¡°Hey there little girl, watcha doin¡¯ out here on the woods?¡± ¡°!?¡± From my side, I was surprised by the husky voice that came from nearby. Looking towards my left, I saw a man who seems to be in his early twenties. He¡¯s around 2 meters tall, has big muscles, is wearing some heavy looking chain mail and has a sword tied on his waist. Also, from the rugged features of his face, he kinda looks like a thug.Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions. Wait, huh? They¡¯re the ones who initiated first contact. As a reincarnated person who came from a different world. What should I say in return? Should I say I¡¯m lost? Or should I reply with ¡®Hey there!¡¯ back. Uuuuhhhh~ ¡°H-he-hey!¡± ¡°Why¡¯re ya shakin¡¯ like that? Did I do something to frighten you?¡± ¡°Look in the mirror and you¡¯ll see.¡± ¡°What!? You saying ma¡¯face is scary? Huh?¡± From behind the soldier, a more slender looking man with a light shade of brown hair but has the same type of clothes as the thug-looking man replied with an exasperated expression. ¡°I didn¡¯t say it.¡± ¡°Oh, yes you were!¡± Uuh, what should I do? They¡¯re look like they¡¯re gonna start fighting any moment now. Should I stop them or what? ¡°Just back off a bit and let me handle it, kay? You¡¯re big body is scaring her stiff.¡± ¡°.¡­¡± Hey! I¡¯m not scared! I¡¯m just intimidated, okay? No, wait, getting intimidated is the same as getting scared, right? Nn, I don¡¯t think so? Un, yep, I think it¡¯s not. This means I¡¯m not scared! Okay, I ain¡¯t scared! Just intimidated. ¡°Haaa~ Anyways, what were you doing here near the forest?¡± Okay, let¡¯s say it like how we planned it. ¡°I¡­ I¡¯m a t¡­ travel¡­er¡­. I come, from a¡­ far away, kingdom.¡± ¡°A traveler huh. You¡¯re quite a shy to be one.¡± ¡°I-it¡¯s been, a long time¡­ since I last, met someone¡­. I don¡¯t really, know how to¡­ react.¡± ¡°... Is that so?¡± ¡°... Yes.¡± Great! I managed to strike a conversation. Let¡¯s keep on going. ¡°Umm¡­ can I ask, what¡¯s the¡­ name of this town?¡± ¡°Sure, this town is called Gruger, a pioneering fortress town ruled by Baron Arkio.¡± ¡°Fortress town?¡± ¡°You¡¯re not familiar with the term? Well, you see these walls? These walls were made to withstand against monster attacks. Enchantments are placed from the inside to make it more durable and it¡¯s built to be easy to defend but hard to attack. Kinda like a fortress. That¡¯s why it¡¯s called a fortress town.¡± ¡°I see.¡± Quite simple¡­. Or just typical? ¡°Then¡­ then, is there, c-can I ask how I can make, money?¡± The man made a troubled face and said; ¡°Even if you ask me¡­. Then, do you anything you can sell?¡± ¡°I, I do!¡± ¡°Then, head on over to the Merchant¡¯s Association or the Adventurer¡¯s guild. You can go there to ear some cash.¡± ¡°Yes! Thank you very much!¡± With a smile on my face, I thanked the person who informed me. ¡°... This is the first time I¡¯ve seen someone say thank you with such sincerity while having a deadpan expression.¡± ¡°.¡­¡± Hey! What¡¯s with that comment you thug! Also, why did the other one move his eyes away!? This is the part where you say. ¡®You¡¯re being rude!¡¯ to the thug! That kinda hurts my feelings you know! Ah, that¡¯s right, I forgot. 2000 years ago, I discovered how magic was delicately connected to a person¡¯s mind, emotions and spiritual state. Even though magic, uses up the mana in the atmosphere to produce phenomenon that defies that Laws of Physics, but follows a different set of laws, the Laws of Magics. This was mainly the reason why magic can ignore science and common logic for most of the time. And, according to one Law of Magics, the more unstable a person¡¯s mind, emotion and spirit is, the more unstable the magic, magical arts, sorcery or arcane spells will be. Because of that, I decided to seal away my facial expressions to make my magic more stable. Well, it did fail grandly though. That¡¯s because I couldn¡¯t control my inner emotions. But still, did I just became even weirder because of that? No matter what the event or what I feel inside, my face will only have one(deadpan) expression! Oh my god! ¡°Hey, you drop something.¡± ¡°... S-sorry, I was just, a bit, s-shocked.¡± ¡°.¡­ I see.¡± ¡°W-well, for now, since you want to earn some money, how about going inside the town. Who knows what will happen if we stay here for too long.¡± ¡°Y-yeah, right.¡± ¡°.¡­ Yes.¡± And so, discovering a side of me that I never knew(mostly because it never proved to be a problem before), I managed to safely enter back into society.
