[I am the system that belongs exclusively to you.]
The voice in his mind responded.
'What's going on? How did I... It seems like I'm fleeing?'
Charles tried his best to lift his head and saw the pursuers behind him.
[The system only activates when it senses that the host is about to face life-threatening danger to protect the host. I awakened just now when the host was about to be thrown to death.]
The system's voice continued with no emotions at all.
'Thrown to death? Ha! Isn't this supposed to be the world of Frozen? Why on earth would they throw a baby?'
Charles's mouth twitched, but it was hard to tell he actually twitched on the baby's face.
'And why did I end up here?'
[…]
'Hey! Stop playing dead! How did I transmigrate?'
[Next, the system will show the host the footage from birth until now to help the host understand faster.]
After the system finished speaking, it fell silent. Charles also began to see everything that had happened since his birth.
...
"Hey, Hal, hurry up! Their long spears almost hit you!"
Sosi tripped a guard and quickly urged Hal to run.
"It's fine. Karon is ahead of us with the child, and they won't be in danger!"
Hal answered with a silly grin.
"Then let's get rid of these annoying guys! We can't let them disturb our people."
Sosi shouted excitedly.
"Mm, I think that's a good idea. It'd be bad if they stole our food."
Hal said, then hugged the dry moss in his arms happily.
"In that case, let's lead them to the edge of that cliff over there, and then…"
Sosi's eyes twinkled as he immediately thought of a plan.
...
"Sosi is up to something reckless again. I hope they'll be safe!"
Karon said, quickly running toward the tribe with Charles in his arms.
Charles, still in Karon's arms, opened his eyes again.
'South Isles, Uncle, the throne... another cliché plot.'
However, his eyes desperately tried to look back as if he wanted to see his mother's body.
'This great woman who had protected me... Sadly, I would never see her again.'
Charles's gaze returned to the troll.
'System, why did the trolls catch me? This shouldn't be happening. Don't they usually hide away?'
"Host, today is the day Elsa was born, and it's also the day you were born. You were born almost simultaneously. Therefore, the system has arranged for a necessary connection between you and Elsa, and it has also prepared everything for the host in advance."
"Connection? What connection? What preparations?"
He asked the system, but there was no response from it…
'I don't wanna be controlled by something or someone. I need to deal with this.'
Then, Charles could only turn his gaze to the distance.
'Grand Pabbie, huh? You must have predicted some incredible future, right?'
...
"Hey! Idiots, come chase me!"
Sosi said, then quickly ducked into the grass.
Immediately, there was a shout, followed by the sound of footsteps and clashing weapons.
"Quick, over there!"
"We can't let them escape."
"For South Isles, for His Majesty the King!"
"Hurry, find them!"
"We need to catch them to catch that kid."
The soldiers shouted but didn't realize they were near a cliff in the chaos.
"Hey! Hal, are you ready to start the game?"
Sosi said to Hal, who was hiding with him in the grass, watching the soldiers search.
"This isn't a good idea. You know I'm really bad at this game."
Hal said with a sad face.
"It's fine, let me help you win effortlessly today!"
Sosi lowered his voice, but his excitement was still clear.
"Alright then..."
"Get ready! Three, two, one, charge! Remember to stack up high!"
Sosi shouted as he rushed ahead.
"Okay, okay, I'm coming."
Hal reluctantly followed behind.
"Quick, look! What's that?"
A soldier exclaimed, interrupting everyone's search.
Then, the soldiers saw a stone roll toward them, directly hitting one of the soldiers.
"Get out of the way!"
They tried to warn, but it was already too late.
The soldier was knocked flying and landed right on the edge of the cliff.
"Hal~"
"Coming, coming, don't rush me!"
"Whoa-ho! Let's start playing!"
"Quick, gather together, don't get hit, this is too fast."
A person who seemed like the leader was giving orders.
The next second...
Bang~
"Ah!"
He was knocked flying by Sosi, landing on top of the first soldier who had been knocked out, then passed out.
The soldier beneath him groaned but didn't wake up.
Sosi, who had knocked him over, charged toward the next one, "Hehe! I'm second, Hal, keep it up!"
Hal remained silent.
These people are even worse at this game than him and can't even dodge.
"Bang~"
"Bang~"
"Bang~"
The number of soldiers on the field dwindled while the pile of soldiers at the edge of the cliff grew higher.
The sound of small stones falling from the edge could be heard...
However, the last remaining soldiers finally gathered together, constantly watching their surroundings.
The final five soldiers stood back-to-back, ready to thrust their spears if there was any movement.
"What should we do? Sosi, do we keep going?"
Hal asked, chewing on some dry moss. He was starting to get confident about dealing with these soldiers.
He wondered if he would cry again when he returned to challenge his other friends.
Sosi, resting his chin in thought, replied, "No, we can't. We're too close to our territory, and we'll get caught. How about... Hal, I've got an idea! Do you remember the Stone Tornado?"
(PS: The Stone Tornado is a troll game where two trolls, with everything except their hands tucked in, spin at high speed to create a mini whirlwind and collide with each other. It's a test of endurance.)
"Do we really have to use that move? Fine, I'll finish eating first, I've never used that move before."
After finishing the last dry moss, Hal took Sosi's hand, and they began to spin together.
To be honest, Hal hadn't played it before because he didn't have enough confidence, but now... thanks to those unconscious soldiers.
Soon, a small whirlwind was generated. It seemed that Sosi was definitely good.
"Hal, let's go!"
"Okay!"
