Under the night sky filled with bright stars.
A naked young man walked to a river.
And jumped in.
The pleasant feeling of the fresh cold water hits his body and mind
It's been 16 years since Razeal reincarnated. He still remembered the feeling when he first opened his eyes in this world.
He felt confusion, fear, excitement, sadness and so many emotions. But now life has become normal again just like it was on earth— just living, complaining about small things.
After his reincarnation and seeing the blue system screen in front of his eyes, he once thought he would become one of the strongest beings in the world.
Yeah, reading stupid novels affected his brain.
If only I had some way to power up. Rezeal thought as he walked out of the river after a ten-minute bath.
He moved his left hand over his medium-length wet dark hair, revealing his light crimson eyes.
Looking down in the water at his own reflection.
In this world the only thing he is satisfied with is his looks, he never saw a man more good-looking than his own, his body is thin if only he could take enough nutrition but who had time to pay attention to food.
Sometimes, he totally forgot to eat and he wouldn't care— If only he wasn't afraid of Elina's nagging.
He moved his gaze and looked at the system which has been with him since his birth.

***********
That's it.
No system points, no missions, no shop, no talk, no mana, nothing, what use do you have?
"Sigh.., yeah, no point in asking," Razeal started putting on his clothes.
After he was done. He is ready to go back and sleep like the dead.
He walked back toward the baron's castle.
Today he safely survived without any embarrassment or insults.
He doesn't know why he is afraid of getting insulted when he has never encountered those types of situations before, at least in this life.
Maybe I am carrying past school traumas.
Anyway, today was peaceful like every other day.
And he hopes every day goes like this– without encountering any noble young master.
After all, what if they get jealous of his good-looking face— that's why he tries to hide his face as much as he can.
Entering the Baron's castle, Razeal directly walked toward the servant's chamber.
On the way he doesn't meet anyone he personally knows, just some guards standing in their positions, chatting with each other.
Servants who had a day duty were already in their rooms.
Entering his room just as he lay down on a soft mattress. His eyelashes felt heavy.
But, before he fell asleep someone knocked on the door.
"Knock! knock!.."
Trouble, he can guess, or who else would knock on his door at his sleeping time. He's really tired from all day's work and wants to sleep.
He stood up and walked to a door, after opening it he saw her. "Elina…"
A beautiful girl with long black hair and brown eyes, dressed in a maid's outfit. She is the same age as him or a year older he wasn't sure. He met her the day he started working here. They became friends on their first meeting or you can say she forcefully became his friend.
It's not like he's complaining, he liked her, well of course just as a friend. He doesn't think of love, marriage stuff.. he can't give her a safe future or anyone, he is pathetic and has already decided to die single even in this life.
At least better than making her suffer. Damn, I'm thinking as she has already confessed to me and is just waiting for my yes.
"Why are…
She didn't let him ask any questions, gently pushed him from her way as she walked into his room in a hurry. "Razeal, quickly pack your things we are leaving."
"Huh?"
"No, you're too slow. I will do it myself."
Without explaining anything else she opens the wardrobe and begins to take out his clothes.
"Leaving? Right now? Where?" . He is curious, what is so important that they had to leave right away? Don't tell me we are under attack!.
"We're going with Lady Veronica and serving her in her academy years," Elina didn't look at him and kept doing her things.
Razeal frowned. Of course, he knows who Veronica is, but he has never met her before so why the hell does he have to go with them?
" Shouldn't it be some experienced servant tagging along with her?"
Elina looked at him and smiled. "Don't worry Raze, you don't have to do anything difficult and Lady Veronica is very kind, she's not going to give you a hard time."
That's not the problem, I mean the whole problem, that's only a part of the problem.
Can't they just let me sleep— first work all day now they want to take my sweet night.
And schools, academies I hate those places.
Elina doesn't let him ask anything else."Let's not waste more time…, we can't let Lady Veronica wait, can we?"
She picked up a bundle of packed clothes and grabbed his wrist dragging him along with her.
–
Elina dragged him directly to a place— where everyone was ready to travel— just waiting for Lady Veronica to arrive.
Razeal didn't have to wait for long as she arrived within a few minutes accompanied by some maids.
She came into his view.
She is a beautiful mature-looking girl with long silky, navy hair and calm sky blue eyes, a little smile on her Rossy lips, she is taller than him and looks gorgeous and elegant in her purple dress.
Her chest is smaller than Elina's.
"Is she pretty?"
"Yea– No, What does pretty mean?" He looked at her,
Elina gave him a long look before handing over his clothes. bundle " That's your ride." She pointed at the wagon.
"Dramatic idiot." She muttered before moving away from him.
I thought ladies don't like it if you praise other ladies on their faces? I don't praise her so why did she call me an idiot?
He glance at Veronica.
Knights bow to her, she acknowledges them with a simple nod.
She appeared perfect from every way.
Veronica's eyes met with Razeal's, and his breath stopped for a moment.
But luckily, she ignored him and climbed into her carriage, followed by Elina.
Razeal sighed in relief and looked at his ride.
Fortunately, he's not riding in the same carriage with them after all he is just a servant and it's different for Elina as she's Veronica's personal maid, more importantly he is male, it's improper to ride with ladies.
It's not like he wants to ride with them. But, why the hell is he even thinking about this? "hump." Stupid thoughts.
He climbed into a wagon which stood just behind their carriage. He found a place in the back corner. There was a lot of stuff so he couldn't see Cauchman— which is perfect. And, he placed his clothes bundle on his left side so the other Coachmen who were driving the wagon behind, couldn't see him.
He won't be able to sleep when he feels someone is looking at him.
With coachmen's "Giddy up, hup!"
And horses' "heh! heh! heh!." The wagon starts moving.
Rezeal has no idea why they're moving at night. Can't they wait till morning?
I hope we don't encounter any troubles, like bandits attacking, where the hero saves the heroine…
"Shut down.. mind…yawn! " He lazily covers his mouth with his hand.
The wagon keeps moving forward, it's shaking a little, but not much. At least, it's not uncomfortable to sleep.
Razeal leaned against the clothes bundle and closed his eyes.
– – –
Inside the luxurious carriage, Veronica and Elina sat on soft comfortable seats facing each other.
Both sides are pillows, and the seats are big and comfortable enough that they can even lie down.
The journey is going to be long and Veronica is already bored.
She gazed at her best friend Elina with a hidden glint in her sharp eyes.
"Where do you find such a cute guy?" She smiled, mischievously.
"Nothing to do with you,".
Veronica widened her smile, she couldn't control it, messing with her is so much fun.
"His face is definitely beautiful even though he hides his face behind his hair. Tell me, do you tell him to do that? So other women don't find him."
Elina's eyes twisted a little
Hehehe, I'm getting on her nerves.
"So, you like pretty boys that you can control. I would have agreed to your relationship if only he were a cultivator." She shook her head in disappointment. " Alas, pity…
"But, my lady, I heard Lord Jevwal is also mortal and his appearance is also very…"
"Tsk!, Shut up or I will throw you out." She ruined her mood, reminding her.
"As you say my lady."
Veronica saw a smirk on her face, right now she really wants to punch her face with all her might but she held it. After all, she can't kill her only childhood friend.
But, she really wishes she could kill her own family and destroy the third duke's house who were forcing her to marry ugly trash.
Unfortunately, she doesn't have that much strength, yet.
But, she will make sure to kill them in the future.
Sometime later asked a serious question.
"Elina, do you really love him, like seriously?" Veronica really is curious, she never believed in love, it's just a fantasy or fancy word that some people use in place of lust.
Because using this fancy word they can maintain their images in their own weak corrupted selves and in front of a hypocritical society that everyone is part of; including herself.
And just today her best friend told her that she loves that pretty boy, she wants him to stay with her so she brings him along.
Seriously, like seriously. Veronica doesn't know how it is even possible— today her best friend used that fancy, fake-gorgeous word that people use to hide their true ugly motives. To manipulate and to be manipulated.
So, she really wants to know what place her friend is using that word-love.
But, Elina ignored her question as she had never heard it. Her face is flat without any particular expression that she uses to hide something from her.
Seeing her behaving like this Veronica felt annoyed, but she smiled."Hey, come on tell me when you fall in love with him, do you guys confess…"
"Why do you want to know?" Elina's tone was flat, face expressionless.
Come on, you really want to hide that badly from me?
"Why? You ask why?" Veronica looks at her, widening her eyes as much as she can. "Are you serious? Come on, I'm your best friend. I have the right to know."
But, seeing Elina still ignoring her question, she felt angry, betrayed. She is her best friend and she can't even tell her such a small thing. She laughed. "Fine, don't tell me, I will ask your little lover myself!."
"Sigh.., I met him when I was a kid."
"Oh!, Tell me more." She had no idea about this. " When you're a kid you are always with me, so…
"Before meeting you. When my family died, he saw me in a corner of the street, and long story short he helped me, he was the one who took me to your guards while seeing everything hiding behind the tree and then you came and kidnapped me."
"Okay, that hurts knowing you see me as a kidnapper," Veronica removed her fake tears.
Elina rolled her eyes. " Then I recognized him when I saw him a month ago, I became his friend then fell in love, simple, the end.
"No, not the end, I'm not satisfied yet. Tell me how old he was when he helped you."
"Five."
Elina narrowed her eyes at her but she ignored it. "And you?"
"Six."
"pffHahahaha!, you're dumber than, five-year-old kid ."
"Was, you mean was…Aeee!..."
Seeing Elina about to pull her hair, in frustration, Veronica stopped messing with her, for now.
"Ahhh!.. ke!.." They both startled when the carriage shook, went down as it fell into the pit. "THUD!" sound echoed in the next second and the impact threw them into the air…
