Chapter 13: Mission 1.
Levi after questioning the captives. According to them, the leader of the bandits is an elderly man with white hair and a beard. And no one recognized the young master's identity.
The captive that knows must already be killed. Since the Maysey family is a noble family. It will ruin their reputation if people find out that the count's son became a bandit. Thanks to that, he doesn’t need to kill the captives to keep secrets. Besides he can flee to Pondover Forest, if he gets exposed.
The captives left the fortress the next morning. After giving them some supplies and money.
"Finally, everything is over."
Clara stood in front of Levi and showed ten fingers.
"Wait, it will take some time." Levi thought that she forgot about the burger. It looks like he needs to keep his promise.
~Growl~ Ben acted like a dog.
"Yes, I will prepare your food too."
A few hours later, after finishing cooking. Levi finds a room and is ready to use the ability. Closing his eyes, he thought about the ability and can see a text in his mind.
Traveler of the World ability is activated.
[Begin mission: Yes/No]
[Mission: Assassinate the king of the unknown kingdom.]
[Reward: Beginner stage of Adept rank mana energy.]
[Death point required: 1000 DP]
[Further detail will be added when the mission starts.]
[Death point: 1727.23 DP]
‘Yes, start the mission.’
Levi's body becomes motionless at the same time the mana in the surrounding area gathers and enters his body. Clara and Ben can sense the mana in the air becoming thicker. When they see the location where the mana gathers. They begin to meditate or sleep near Levi's room.
Clara feels weird; why is the mana getting denser near Levi's room? But she knows that everyone has a secret.
Primitive magic is hard and painful in the beginning. But the body will slowly change to withstand the pain from absorbing the element. Another benefit of primitive magic is that it can absorb both mana and elements like blood.
Clara still remembers her first time absorbing blood to become the Blood Witch. Her body feels like it’s going to explode, and the pain comes when the blood comes out of her entire pores.
Ben is sleeping comfortably while absorbing the mana.

Levi finally awakens in a familiar, chaotic space. Light, stars, and other elements float in dark space. This time he doesn’t have a body like when he died. Just his consciousness.
["Hello, we meet again"] A monotone voice spoke in the chaotic space.
["We shall begin the transfer to the new world to start the mission."]
["One minute in the real world is equivalent to one year in another world"]
["More detail will be transferred into your mind."]
[“If you die in that world, you will die in real life.”]
["Good luck and have a safe trip."]
Before Levi could protest or cancel the mission, he lost consciousness.
["Creating new body and energy synchronization."]
-
The Eapitha world has many islands, and the island continent is controlled by a powerful kingdom. On a large sailing ship, four people are carrying a single wooden crate. But behind them, a man with brunet hair and an average face carries the wooden crate alone.
Levi, when he wakes up, is stranded on a deserted small island. Thanks to the ship captain for coming and rescuing him. He has been working on the sailing ship. His target is King Donovan of the Dolon Kingdom. Fortunately, he is still an apprentice-rank warrior and mage. The only downside is that the mana energy here is thin compared to the Acheron world.
"Levi, we are lucky to have you. How many crates have you carried today?" Said the ship captain happily. When he saves Levi, he doesn’t expect anything. But it turns out Levi is strong.
"I lost count."
"Hahaha, at the next port, I will buy you a drink."
"Captain, you need to send him to the brothel."
"Yes, we all make a bet on how long he can last."
"Don’t corrupt him!"
Levi smile. He still remembered his previous reincarnations. Because of alcohol and prostitution, he died in an accident or was killed by an angry boyfriend for sleeping with his lover.
"Open the sail, pull the anchor!"
A week later, the ocean and blue sky are beautiful. However, it becomes boring if you see it every day. The sea is dangerous because the calm weather suddenly becomes rainy and stormy.
Levi is resting in his shared room to think about what to do. When he is arriving in the Dolon Kingdom. He has seen the soldier and weapon of this world. Can he fight with an 18th-century army? The answer that he got is yes if he fights a small group of them. But with an army of muskets and cannons. He will be exhausted and die before reaching the king.
In the Acheron world, because of the invention of the musket and other weapons. The warrior and mage are at a stalemate with the human rebel. In the end, the human rebels founded the Federation. But the real history is more complicated, and there are always people pulling the strings.
While Levi is thinking. A bell sounded, and he went to the deck.
"Pirate!"
"Prepared to fight!"
"Load the cannon!"
On the horizon, several sailing ships can be seen heading their way.
"Captain, it’s a flag of Dragon skull pirate!"
"Shit, open all the sail!" The captain quickly steers the ship to escape.
The pirate ships fired a warning shot. But the captain ignored it. He has encountered many pirates in his life. The Dragon Skull Pirate is infamous for not sparing male captives.
Seeing that the pirate ships begin to aim their cannon at the merchant ship.
"BOOM!"
"BOOM!"
"BOOM!"
The captain tries to steer the ship to avoid being hit by the cannonballs. However, the merchant ship is not fast enough to outrun the pirate ship. And the main sail is damaged because of the cannonball.
The merchants onboard the merchant ship comes out from below the deck.
"Captain, what is the situation?"
"We can’t escape."
"Can’t you do anything?"
"No, we can only fight." The captain answered. If they are dealing with other pirate groups. He can try paying a toll to let them go. But not the Dragon Skull pirate.
The pirate ships surround the merchant ship, and on the pirate ship's deck, many bandits brandish their swords and taunt the merchant ship crews and passengers. The pirates throw a grappling rope to bring their ship closer. And put out a wooden plank to board the merchant ship.
Pirates from several ships enter the merchant ship deck.
"Everyone, take out your weapon, and don’t surrender!"
The ship crews and pirates begin clashing their swords. The merchant's private guards used their flintlock guns and fired at the incoming pirate. But the pirates are numerous, and it takes time to reload the flintlock gun.
"BANG!"
"BANG!"
"BANG!"
Both sides suffer casualties.
After a long fight, the pirates notice something; their comrade tries to avoid going to certain areas. When they go there, they can see pirate corpses in front of a man with brunet hair and an average face.
"Bang!"
Levi moves his head to the side and avoids the bullets that pass him. This is not the first bullet aimed at him. ‘Should I use magic?' Levi thought, but he didn’t want to use a spell in front of other people. Since this world has no mage.
Levi doesn’t realize the pirates don’t dare go near him.
"Damn it, who was that man?"
"We don’t know if everyone who tried to kill him is now dead."
"What happens here?" A rough-looking man holding a saber comes out from the crowds.
"Quartermaster, there is a strong man among the merchant crews."
"Have you shot him?"
"Yes, but he manages to evade it."
"Gather all the gunners here; if you still cannot kill him, bring the cannon." The Quartermaster is calm. Because in the past he has fought with barbarians, who have strong bodies and fast agility, In the end, the barbarian died from the bullet.
The pirates line up and aim their flintlock guns at Levi. He can’t evade all the bullets without suffering any damage.
Seeing that Levi can only sigh "Die." He created several small magic circles and expanded them to launch the fireballs. This technique required more mana compared to the original magic circle. But there are no longer mistakes in drawing the magic circle.
The pirate gunners are in shock, but not for long when the fireballs burn them. They begin rolling on the deck or jumping into the sea to put out the fire. The other pirates flee far away from Levi.
"Run!"
Since Levi is already being exposed, there is no point in holding back. Every swing that he makes using the sword will take a pirate's life. Head and limb get decapitated. Blood covered the deck floor.
The merchant ship captain saw everything that was happening and felt inspired. "Follow Levi; kill the pirate!"
"Kill them!"
"WARRR!"
The crew and passengers feel their hearts pump with adrenaline. Rush at the escaping pirates and kill them. When they thought they could win. They hear a gunshot, and one of the ship's crew collapses to the ground, blood coming out of his chest.
"Why are you running away?" A handsome brown-haired man wearing a pirate hat came out from the crowds of pirates while holding a flintlock gun. They make a path for him. Behind the handsome man are a group of men with guns and sabers.
