Chapter 2:
My will shall resonate in this stormy game
The only thing I knew for sure was that the counter in front of me was counting down to remove the number.
negative behind 1 year putting 2 months as time, if the digits were reliable due to their close change, and finally things were more or less familiar to me, I could understand the main shapes: walls, doors, the crib, the dirt floor, the few wooden and metal spaces of the utensils and soon more memories flooded me and a very clear memory, the first game, the two main routes and more importantly what would happen.
With renewed determination, I balanced the crib, making it fall backward, while I held onto the railing.
right and with that I managed to let go, falling on my legs, which couldn't hold.
"Hurts".
Armed with courage I began to crawl, it was humiliating, but it could not be avoided and after a while I finally reached the small table, I didn't have much time, when I finally managed to climb onto the pile of logs, which served as a chair, only to feel tired and sleep a little longer, only to wake up in the crib again, now with a bumper on the side.
“The night.” The cold was unpleasant, but the body heat helped calm the doubts and
He assured me that a little more sleep was necessary. “Tomorrow, I’ll try my luck.”
It was nothing but the food that woke me up and I devoured the milk again, only to notice myself walking from one place to another.
side to side, but at the same time there was a calm that was not appropriate.
By a little later in the afternoon, back to the blankets, squeezing myself and wondering why I hadn't had
need to go to the bathroom, but I wasn't going to complain for the sake of preserving some dignity, especially if I didn't witness that problem.
After a while more that seemed to come out, I noticed it, the cradle again wedged with the wooden trunk and an unexpected advantage, after a quick push-up and hanging again, I managed to fall onto the wood, only to fall again and to my dismay face the floor, discouraged, but determined, I continued my way to the table.
Crawling was a little more complicated and the seat climbed more easily than the first time, now halfway through dream road.
“No, this time I must reach it.” Strengthened by my determination, I hung onto the table once more and managed to reach the top, with an achievement in between. “And this?”
The message was at least clear "Strength and Agility +1" I didn't pay any more attention, I had to complete the book before the problems got worse and after arriving I noticed scribbles, numbers that did not correspond to sales in any way.
“There, ma.” A light touch to the forehead
In a hurry to get to the end, finding it interesting that it had reasonable prices and after a while of taking the first pages full of sticks, which in theory are about continued doing the math by tearing off the last blank page and soon, counting as at least there was order, a few numbers and with that the answer, 50, 20 and 80 respectively and soon everything was in order, the groups of 3 sticks, generally represented the bundles of firewood, those of one stick, some food and those of two, maybe both, because they did not have the loop of wood.
“I don’t have to go to sleep, go back…” The dream grew stronger and the next thing I knew I was in the crib and
Soon, they arrived to give me something to eat and the sweet warmth of blankets. “Ma”
Not only was there surprise on the woman's face as she pointed at the notebook with the notes, but leaving me overcome by hunger and return to food.
The only thing I remember from the morning is being carried and what I never wanted, watching myself being cleaned.
and I started to cry, both from pride and from the cold water.
The knocks on the door soon left me in the small bowl of water, to my disgust the water was yellow and brown spreading and I started screaming louder.
A few minutes later, he took me out and passed me a bucket of slightly warmer water and wrapped me in the blanket from before, as we were leaving, I could only see the guards and they seemed surprised.
“It’s definitely him, he has the same golden hair as the lady.”
“My son has done the math; that's the wonderful thing about those blessed with Alba.”
“I agree, for your care of the son of the House of Sol, you will be highly rewarded, do not doubt it.”
“I would like to keep my son, but I heard about our lady’s tragedy.” He squeezed a little harder, but
Then I push the child away. “I hope he grows up strong and healthy with you.”
"Let's go, madam, the reward must not be delayed, and you must also attest to what the child did, so that
there will be more misunderstandings in the future.”
“Of course.” I hugged the baby once more as I followed the guards.
The arrival at the castle was at least hectic, the head of the family gave money, which I consider was generous, but she could barely stand up and a guard helped her carry it, by his orders and after that they took me to a crib that was better cared for and warmer.
“I’m sorry, but this was for the best.”
“The little one can talk a little now.” The maid felt happy, but her face looked confused. “Let’s see.” new son of the Sol house” She didn't seem very convinced
“Ma.” I simply remained silent, the first part of my plan was already a reality, if I called too much serious attention problematic.
“Sweetheart, he thinks I’m his mom.” I put the baby in the crib and tuck him in tightly. “Rest easy, son of the House of Sol, Better times await him under the care of his family.”
“Sure.” Sleep returned, and I woke up only when I smelled food.
The restlessness of the afternoon, the joy of a room in which to move, some wooden toys and soon my plans proliferated, I had a lot to do if I wanted to change history, to start my destiny, the memories I had of the game were quite clear, depending on what I chose, I would have a more or less assured profession and I only had two more months to complete the preparations, the novels helped me and the setting books, I liked them more, giving me more precise information, it's a shame that everything comes from the cursed kingdom.
“Focus.” I crawled until I reached the small wooden cubes with colors. “First profession, I must take.” the white sword, then…” He took another colored cube, this time red. “Then…”
I began to arrange one in front of the other, while I remembered what else would happen, what the memories were like. From the path son of war, I found it difficult, especially because I didn't pay much attention to the short cinematics, I cared more about how I would go from low population to high productivity and armies.
“HAA stupid brain, because you don’t remember anything important.” Resigned, I put the toys back and I started crawling, I would have plenty of time to think now that I was in a calmer environment.
I soon identified all the toys and was able to put them in a more or less pleasant order, only leaving the pieces of wood like multi-colored dominoes, to identify the future steps of my plan.
Sleep overtook me again on the floor, and again the food woke me up, only to notice how the food
He would call and things would calm down a bit when he saw the head of the family.
“The son of Mara did all this.” I gesture around the more or less clean room.
“Yes, my lord.” He bowed slightly, nodding.
“They look very similar.” I look at the boy, somewhat more confused. “Anyway, the account book for your test.”
The maid on the other side passed the book, while I finished my meal and left the same piece of wood with coal on the tip and put me on the table.
“Son of Mara, you can solve this.” He spoke directly to me, and I nodded.
"Blessed is the ignorance of the times, now I don't have to justify many things." I took the wood and began to
Solve it, a couple of simple multiplications, numbers from 10 to 15 varied and only in small quantities, while entering results much faster and soon finished. "I'd rather finish, I'd fall asleep."
To my chagrin they turned the page and I didn't think about it anymore as I fell asleep on the book, the calm of the morning and the birds were the only thing that let me know that I had made it through the night, only to notice how things had improved a little, the toys were neatly arranged to one side and my wooden pieces forming the plan were in place, just by being in the crib I could notice how the book was still there, but I had more important things to deal with.
I got out of the crib more easily, as it was closer to the floor and the small opening allowed me to Hanging down was very easy, although I still ended up falling on my back, which was better than before.
I got to the pieces of my plan and soon remembered a little more and grabbed the second piece a little more happily.
“Choosing a profession and joining the public speakers’ injuries.”
Of the few memories I had, there wasn't much useful information, since the kingdoms were at war and the Santa Fe was so intent on destroying the Cursed Kingdom, it wasn't hard for me to understand, but the opportunity to gain knowledge of the blessings was the priority, even if it would bring problems. "I should have played the Sons of Dawn route, at least once." I didn't think about it much longer and took the third piece. “To prepare the population for war, I must first deal with the merchants and my future fiancée's family…” A chilling memory made him feel uneasy, as the laughter and the elegant yet sinister ballroom grew stronger. “And try to avoid that commitment to the first boss to defeat in the game.”
