"Urghh!" My head was spinning spinning like crazy as I woke up.
I sat up regaining my mind. I checked for my shortsword in the ragged cloak I was wearing over my clothes. I sighed in relief as I found the sword and held it firmly.
The sword was the final keepsake from my parents. They gifted me this when I turned 7. And ever since I ran away, I had never let go of this sword once.
Nevertheless, I stood up using the sword as support. My body was paining as if it caught up all the fatigue till date.
I looked around and it was a beautiful garden for as far as I could see. "Huh? Where am I?"
"Ohh!" I remembered that old man and that bright light. Where the hell did that old man send me? How the hell did he cast a teleportation circle that easily?
I ignored the little dizziness as I walked towards the end of the garden to which I could see sunlight breaking in.
Astonished by the scenery, I was standing at the end of a supposed garden.
"It's in the middle of the sky...." Looking towards the bottom, I could see endless blues which was supposedly a part of a vast ocean.
The island was covered in a high-grade magic barrier and surrounded by clouds all over.
As I walked around I saw several rooms, one for lodging, a cooking facility, a study, a closed room and a bathroom.
Bath?! I abandoned all my thoughts and stood under the shower. The dirt and sweat that had accumulated for two months and the mud from the forest were coming off now. I washed my hair till my bright white hair appeared and then dived into the bath.
"Aaaah..! Finally." I breathed a long sigh of relief.
After the bath, I thoroughly washed my clothes and left them to dry in the garden.
I then went to the bedroom to check for some clothes. Luckily, I found some old clothes, though not my size, they were big enough to cover my naked body.
I then went to the library to look for some information on this facility. I grabbed some books from a shelf and went to the small desk in the middle of the room.
There was already a book lying there. Locking my eyes on the book I went around the table, grabbed the chair, and sat on it. I put the other books aside and opened the one already lying there.
It was more or less a logbook. Hmmm, so this island is a relic.
After reading through the log, I found out that that old man used to live here in isolation. He discovered this island a long time ago and when his time finally came near, he went down to look for someone to inherit it.
Well, here's lot of useless information here. I sighed as I read through the pages. It was the observational record of his life in here.
I put the diary aside and started with another book.
Hmmm, so the name of this facility is carisma....
*grr
I'm hungry. It had been quite a while since I sat down in this room.
I closed the book I was reading and headed out the room. I looked up in the sky, the sun had almost set.
I plucked a fruit from the garden and decided to head to the kitchen.
The kitchen was fairly wide. I started looking for ingredients and cooking utensils here and there. Apparently, the reason this island was named gluttony was because of its unlimited food supply.
I wonder where this unlimited food they speak of come from.
*click
Ohh! There's some meat... and here's the spices. In a moment I readied all the ingredients utensils I needed to make food.
"I used to make food for myself in my previous life, I am sure I can manage at least this much. Now, what should I make."
This novel seems to have a good plot, but I feel like it is rushing a bit fast. I get that it is the prologue, but still, th plot is going a bit too fast. Also the protagonist doesn't seem to question anything and goes through his life as if it was meant to be. If there is some legitimate reason, it could be explained. I wish the story would come out fine later on !! All the best.
it's just that he has certain amount of mental maturity which allows him to accept most of the things thrown at him that are not life threatening. He's a calm protagonist
Wait till the big reveal comes out.
@RomanceFantasist
Mate, didn't his parents die and he got caught by bandits, suffered for two months, then some unknown grandpa teleported him somewhere...... If it was me, my personality would change by the second problem.
@voidskull yes. His personality became sort of cold to question "Why?"
