Loser's redo: Transmigration in a novel

Opening his eyes slowly, Zick stared at the unfamiliar ceiling in front of him blankly. He could tell that it was still in the middle of the night without even looking out of the window.

Zick could sense that the knights and Vertel were still guarding the inn without rest. Even Butler Von's presence in the hall did not go unnoticed by Zick.

'He is probably there to respond to my any request immediately.'

Zick had stayed a long time with Butler so he was able to guess his intentions somewhat now.

Getting up, Zick sat upon the bed crossed leg. He started training like usual to increase his mana.

,m In the early morning hours Zick headed towards the bathroom, there are usually large mirrors within the inn's bathroom so he tried seeing if there was one in here.

And as Zick had expected, there was a full body mirror inside the bathroom. Walking in front of it, he looked at himself.

Zick still looked like someone who is 15 years old, his facial features were exquisite, almost like a doll. His red eyes shined unnaturally, making him look even more attractive, his pupils were like normal human right at the moment as he was using magic to camouflage it.

Zick's skin was white, but it was not pale white, nor a feminine pinkish-white, it is a white that is clean and simple. Though his skin looked simple, their durability was very high. His skin could only be damaged by someone in the peak rank or higher.

His hair grew up a little longer than before, each strain of hair was durable and thick.

'I should cut my hair a little after reaching the academic city.'

Zick had to cut his hair himself as it was not possible to cut it using normal means anymore with its durability increased.

Zick could see a bathtub behind him reflected by the mirror, the whole bathroom was made of expensive white marbles. There was even a vague reflection of his figure in them.

Zick changed his clothes and wore a similar white shirt and black pants just like the one he wore while travelling. He didn't need to take a bath or anything, he could keep himself clean using magic.

Getting out of the bathroom, Zick started heading towards the hall of the inn. He could sense that Butler Von had prepared breakfast for him, probably hearing the sound of him opening and closing the bathroom door.

Reaching the hall, Zick could see Butler Von standing in front of the table and bowing towards him.

''Young master Zick, The breakfast is ready."

Nodding his head, Zick took a seat. He had already grown used to Butler Von making breakfast for him every day like this.

Zick looked at the dishes in front of him, Picking up a fork, he moved it towards the salad made of fruits of this world that he had grown used to seeing by now.

Filling his stomach with meat, soup and bread, Zick picked up a fruit looking like an orange and took a bite.

"mm...."

In that instant, sweet fruit juice filled his mouth. Zick liked sweet things more than sour things to eat from a long time ago. So he liked this fruit which was extremely sweet.

"Buy some of this fruits before we leave this city.'' Zick said to Butler Von without turning towards him.

"Yes." Butler Von answered with still a stoic expression.

Butler Von moved towards the market quickly after moving the plates and eating instruments. There wasn't much time left before they departed.

Zick continued eating the orange-like fruits, he didn't know its name as he hadn't bothered asking about it. Cleaning the yellow fruit juice off his face using magic, he walked towards the carriage stationed in front of the gate.

"We are ready to depart any time you command, young master." Vertel spoke to Zick with emotionless expression.

"Depart after Butler Von arrives." Saying this, Zick directly entered the carriage.

The carriage started moving after a while, Zick looked out of the window while still training in mana. The street lamps were still glowing as it was early in the morning. There were only a few shops which were open right at the moment and with even fewer people walking in the streets.

The carriage continued travelling like this, stopping only a few times to let the horses rest or when the night arrived.

Zick would most of the time just gaze out of the window, looking at the grass plain with a bored expression. He also ate the orange-like fruit sometimes while thinking of any new magic.

After three days.

The carriage moved through the tracks in the forest, it would get out of the forest in a few minutes.

Most of the time the sky was covered in black clouds as it was rainy season right at the moment, there were only a few instance where the sun was visible.

And right now, the sky was totally covered in black clouds as it had mildly rained a few hours ago.

While the carriage moved on, Zick was lost in his own thoughts.

'I wonder what will happen when the dragon lord's heart comes out of its hibernation state.....will I get another special ability belonging to the dragons....? or will it start strengthening me at a faster rate...?'

Zick couldn't help but daydream about his dragon heart. Just thinking about this matter made him excited.

"Hmm..."

Feeling something, Zick's excitement calmed down, his eyes narrowed with suspicion. He could feel multiple presence of monsters and assassins in the boundary of the forest.

'It doesn't seems like they going to attack any time soon....but what are they trying to-'

Suddenly Zick's eyes widened sensing something.

"Stop the carriage!"

NEIGHHHHH! NEIGHHHHH!

All the horses stopped at once hearing Zick's solemn voice, they had already exited the forest by now. A grass plain appeared in everyone's view with nothing special in it.

All the knights were confused as to the reason they were stopped but Vertel had a solemn look on his face.

CLICK~

Opening the carriage door, Zick stepped out and started walking towards the front. But then he heard a loud sound.

BOOOM!

The terrain a few hundred metres in front of them exploded with a huge explosion. The debris flew in the sky with still the smoke rising from the explosion. With just a simple glance it was possible to tell that the explosion covered more than 50 metres.

'As I thought...a mana bomb.'

Zick could also feel a group of people who had also stopped advancing just like them in the distance.

'This presence.....it's that demihuman from the seivet city....'

Zick could feel the presence of Jerg and Serlece of the other group in the distance.

"Everyone, don't let your guard down!"

Vertel instructed the knights with still a solemn expression on his face. He was able to sense the presence of the assassins and monster hiding in the forest so he knew that the explosion just now might just be a distraction.

GUUUUM.....

The sound of a horn being blown rang out loudly.

The knights Vigilance grew to its extreme, they looked around with serious expressions. It was not possible to tell the perfect direction from where the horn sound came from as it from the forest.

DAM....DAM....

Slowly the ground started trembling slightly as if an earthquake was going to take place.

"Everyone move away from the forest!" Vertel said after enhancing his voice with mana.

The knights became hesitant for a second but after seeing Vertel going towards Zick, they followed his order and pulled the reins of their horses to move away from the forest.

A master swordsman capability were known by almost everyone in the world so it wasn't weird for the knights to leave Zick alone with Vertel.

Zick ignored Vertel who walked near him acting like a guard and started speaking to the carriage coachman.

"Take the carriage as far as possible from here and wait for us." Zick said with a serious expression, directly looking into the eyes of the coachman.

"y-yes!" The Coachman's eyes wavered while he made eye contact with Zick.

Zick left the two dragon eggs in the carriage as he found them too troublesome to carry around.

"Young master Zick, I would-" Butler Von tried saying something to Zick but his words were cut off by him.

"Protect the bag within the carriage no matter the cost." Zick's voice was firm.

Hearing Zick's order, Butler Von nodded his head even though he still felt a little unwilling.

Seeing the carriage and the caravan in which the servants were moving away, Zick also started making distance from the forest running towards the knights.

Zick didn't need Butler Von's protection as he was confident in being able to protect himself. Vertel still moved with him like a guard.

'Zevkoras must have ordered him to protect me.'

Joining with the other knights, Zick gazed at the forest waiting for the presence moving towards him to reveal itself.

CRACK!

The sound of trees breaking reached Zick, looking towards the forest, suddenly he was surprised at what he saw. There were huge heads protruding above the trees.

'those are.....'
