The Crown Of The Nine Continents
Bloods 3 - Where?

"Uh."

Neren groans in pain. The pain came from his head that seemed to have been hit with a hard object like a stone. He himself did not know, what the cause of the headache he was feeling at this time.

But when he woke up, he found himself in a simple room made of wood everywhere.

"Where ... am I?" neren muttered confusedly.

The headache slowly began to subside, then Neren tried to recall what really happened. If not mistaken, Neren had just defeated Dragon God in a Pothenic event game, but Dragon God got back up and talked about something strange.

"I remember .. after that my body faded, then I lost consciousness."

Was Neren forced to log out of the Cothenic so that he lost consciousness and felt a headache afterwards?

But none of that explains why Neren is in such a shabby place. If he did lose consciousness, there should have been a danger omen alarm from the SVR-15C that had Neren's servants checking him out.

"And I should have been in the hospital like that, "Neren was trying to think about what happened.

Looking to the right side, there is a simple window that displays the view from some other simple houses. Then looking to the left side, Neren found a table on which there was a black dress with a red pattern.

"This ..." Neren surprised.

From the appearance of the clothes, Neren could already guess that it was the clothes he was wearing at the time of fighting the Dragon God. Neren then groped his own body, and he came across a shocking reality.

Hair style, skin color, and body shape, all equal to the characteristics of the R.Styx that Neren plays. And very different from the original Neren body that exists in the real world.

"No, I have to make sure first."

Neren tried to move the game console and called it a few times. But Neren's efforts proved futile with the absence of the console. As a result, Neren could only surmise for a while that this was an absurd case.

"The other world .. I don't believe this." Neren shook his head.

To prove whether this was another world, Neren had to make sure with his own eyes. He then got up, and returned wearing the clothes that were on the table one by one.

"I have to make sure first, then think again."

After Neren had put on his clothes perfectly, suddenly the door of the simple room made a sound, and opened.

The figure of a young blonde woman in her 20s appeared from behind the door. Neren was startled by his arrival, reflexively moving towards the woman's back and pointing his hands towards her neck.

"Who are you?" neren threatened.

The woman also seemed to be shocked, and was unable to see Neren's extremely fast movements. For a moment he daydreamed with empty eyes, but it didn't take him long and then smiled awkwardly.

"E-em .. excuse me? What is the attitude of one who has received help?" said slowly.

"Assistance ...?" neren said in his mind.

Has Neren been helped by this woman? No, regardless of whether it was true or not, Neren should not have behaved this way. What if this woman was really his helper?

Neren immediately released the woman, moving slightly away from her and keeping a safe distance.

"You are my helper?" asked Neren while not lowering the slightest bit of vigilance.

The woman took a deep breath, then moved and sat on the bed where Neren had previously been lying.

"Yes .. let's talk about this carefully. You must be confused, right?"

His attitude was calm and his words were gentle, making Neren suspect that this female figure was not an ordinary woman. But what he said was indeed very reasonable, Neren was in a state of confusion at the moment.

"Huh ..." Neren took a breath. "You're right, sorry for my rude behavior."

"It's okay, it's only natural that you behave like that. By the way, what's your name?"

"I? I ..." Neren was silent for a moment.

Is this a good time to say everything honestly?

And if Neren is honest, which name should he use to answer the woman's question. R.Styx's? That's gonna feel weird, then Neren Alvian? He did not want to use his real name.

"Why ...?" ask the woman confused.

Neren eventually drew the conclusion not to use both names. Instead, Neren decided to use a new name that was a bit similar to his real name.

"No, it's just .. My memory feels vague and unclear."

The woman tilted her head, displayed anxiety and said with pity, "Are you losing your memory?"

"Maybe? My memories felt random and faint, not even I remembered where I came from. Ah, there's only a memory cut of a woman who called me 'Anryzel Dirvaren'."

In her heart, Anryzel deeply apologized to the woman before her. Feeling guilty for lying in the name or losing a false memory.

"That's all?" ask the woman back.

"Yes, I don't remember anything else. My head hurts when I try to remember." Anryzel held her head to pretend.

"Gr ..." The woman breathed back.

Seeing his behavior, Anryzel was a little worried, was his lie known?

"It must be difficult for you" the woman continued.

"Difficult?" Anryzel was at a loss for words.

He really didn't expect the woman to say "difficult".

"Yes ..it must be hard to forget the memories we have built up over the course of our lives. Although, I don't know if your memories contain wonderful things or bad things, but regardless of everything, memories are precious."

The woman looked out the window. His gaze felt so calm, as if he felt a deep sadness. But before long, she turned back to Anryzel with a cheerful smiling face.

"Hehehe, forget my obscure words just now. How should I call you?"

"I don't understand what you said before, but you can call me Anryzel. That feels pretty good to hear."

"Alright, Anryzel. My name is Nivania, Nivania Zournac. I'm a village doctor who just happened to find you in the eastern woods unconscious."

Later, Nivania explains that she found Anryzel unconscious while searching for herbs in the eastern forest along with some villagers.

At the time, Nivania along with the villagers thought that Anryzel was a criminal pretending to be unconscious. But when they saw the clothes, and the actual condition of Anryzel, they began to change their minds.

Anryzel looks like a knight when seen from the clothes. He also did not look like he was pretending to be unconscious. Therefore, Nivania carefully approached, and examined him before finally bringing him to the village.

The place where Anryzel is currently located is named Giru village and is in the Kingdom of Aulzania. The Kingdom of Aulzania is located on the Zachen continent, one of the nine continents in the world.

When he heard the name "Zachen" Anryzel was reminded of the human continent in the same name. Makes him think whether this is a Cothenic world but in a real version?

"You're sure this continent is called Zachen?"

"Eh, of all the things, is this what you doubt?" look at Nvania with astonished eyes.

"Yes, I feel this name is no stranger anymore" Anryzel replied steadily.

"Um, I don't understand you. This continent has the name Zachen. Besides, if you're from this continent, then it's only natural that this name is familiar to you, right?"

"So .. does make sense." Anryzel nodded with seriousness.

"Oh! I almost forgot." Nivania got up as if remembering something. "I'm sorry, but it's getting dark and I have to prepare dinner."

Nivania smiled for a moment, then moved closer to the door to get out. Anryzel who was still feeling a little curious about one thing immediately called out to Nivania and stopped her.

"Wait a minute, there's one thing I'd like to ask ..."

Nivania turned her head slowly. "Eh, what do you want to ask?"

"Why did you choose to save me? Your reason before, doesn't guarantee at all that I'm not a bad person."

Nivania fell silent, staring at Anryzel while thinking of an answer. He then chuckled, and said as if he was wondering.

"Um .. I don't know, it seems like my instincts say you're a good person?"

Nivania smiled, before finally exiting the room and closing the door. Leaving Anryzel still in a state of confusion.

______________________________________________

The Next Day ...

Anryzel awakens from her sleep. A dream made him jerk up, and reminded him of the words of the Dragon God who had been forgotten.

O you who have purified me from darkness. I will give you a little strength, but in exchange you will have to fulfill my request on this one. Promise .. to save those you must save from the darkness of the world.

Question after question came to Anryzel's mind at this moment. Is this other world the work of the Dragon God? How can a game do that?

As for the request from the Dragon God, who should he save? Will it come to an end after completing this plea and will it return to earth?

"Argh .. I feel like all will not be answered except to find out for myself the truth."

Anryzel ruffled her hair. Feeling stupid because just a little problem like this can make him confused. Perhaps this was due to him not fully accepting the reality, so the feeling of confusion easily attacked.

Calming yourself by looking at the world is a great option. Anryzel had already decided to go out and see how it looked from another world.

"Um, hello?" Anryzel looked back and forth but did not find Nivania.

The house was silent without sound, but faintly Anryzel's ears could hear people talking. As he focused more and more on listening, the voice grew clearer and clearer until it really became very clear.

From the conversation of the restless-sounding people, Anryzel slightly understood the situation. It seems there has been an incident with a certain group. But to be sure, he came out of the house to look for the source of the sound.

"Hmm... So this is Giru village?"

Quite a lot of simple houses made of neatly lined wood. But none of those houses were as good as Nivania's.

Anryzel's gaze turned to look at the crowd of people not far from him. He walked up to the crowd and asked an old man who looked anxious and agitated.

"Excuse me, did something happen?" asked Anryzel politely.

"Ah, young man, you must be the young man who was discovered yesterday by Nivania and the others, right?"

"Yes, that's right, so why are people swarming like this?" ask Anryzel back.

"Well young man, actually some people who were patrolling around the forest were seriously injured from the attack from a horde of Redwolf monsters."

The old man explained it with a restless and frightened face.

The redwolf? That's what Redwolf means, right? Wolves that have red fur and often clustered?

The Redwolf that Anryzel knew was a lowly wolf monster that had a small level between 20 to 40. They were at the lowest level, namely Low Class Monsters. Redwolf's fighting prowess was only slightly above that of ordinary wolves, and there was nothing special about them.

Redwolves often make a large group of 100-300 of them. For weak players of small level and do not have qualified playing skills, a flock of Redwolf is a nightmare.

It was a pity that ordinary villagers had to meet them. Maybe I should take a closer look at the injured people? Nivania is definitely there ....

Anryzel forced his way through to see the injured people. There were fifteen seriously injured people with bleeding everywhere. At the same time, Anryzel finally found Nivania who was preparing to treat them.

"Nivania, what's really going on?"

Nivania glanced slightly at the figure who asked, realizing that it was Anryzel, she tried to retaliate even though she was being preoccupied with treating the injured.

"Look, the soldiers who were patrolling around the forest met a group of Redwolf monsters. Some people managed to save themselves, but some others did not survive."

Anryzel watched carefully. Nivania used healing magic several times that instantly healed the wounds of those people.

"I understand, let me help you." Anryzel approached some people who had not received a cure.

"Eh? Aren't you a knight? Don't lie to me." Nivania looked at Anryzel doubtfully.

"Well, I can use some healing skills, maybe it can help you. Besides it doesn't matter, focus on healing, let me take care of it here."

Never underestimate a professional player who reaches the top by shouldering four different jobs. One of those jobs is <> and the light element has some healing magic.

"Um .. alright, I'm counting on you!"

Nivania could not think of anything trivial in times of emergency like this. So even though he was hesitant, he tried to believe Anryzel's words.

Anryzel approaches an injured adult man. Judging from the man's condition, he had some serious injuries that rendered him unconscious.

Not stalling anymore, Anryzel uses Low Class magic, which is <> as an experiment.

"Woah, awesome ... The impression you get from the game and the real world is completely different."

Seeing the light magic coming out of his hands had an influence on that person made Anryzel feel proud. However the effect of the magic itself was very low, only stopping the bleeding without healing the wound.

This time, Anryzel is more serious and uses better healing magic <>

A magic circle formed, and golden light began to envelop the man, healing one by one his wounds until they were completely healed.

"Oh, it turns out that you really have a healing skill. Who exactly are you?" Nivania suddenly appeared behind Anryzel.

"I told you, I don't remember anything. It's just, I feel like I can do it and try, it works."

"Hehehe .. yes, don't worry, I trust you" Nivania said with a smile.

"What about the other patients?" Anryzel turned her head to look at Nivania.

"I'm done with it."

"Oh?"

Anryzel was quite surprised by Nivania's words which were quite unexpected. Treating a few injured people in such a short period of time was not easy, unless Nivania was a high-level Priest or something.

"Is he a high-level Priest?" anryzel wondered.

But because asking about it at a time like this is not possible, Anryzel keeps his curiosity well.

Nivania went back to check on the people she had healed, ascertaining if they really had no problems, then handed the remaining patients to Anryzel.
