Chapter 18: Ambush
Lucen, who continued walking towards the cave located near Ashpeak mountains, surprisingly did not find any other monster.
’Is the presence of the dead body of a young dragon scaring off the other monsters?’
Unlike before, Lucen had his arquebus at the ready and had already loaded it with a lead ball, looking around to see if there were any monsters. Surprisingly, aside from the Glacier hares, he saw no other monster, but he did see a few deer and an owl, but even those were nowhere to be found when he got nearer to the cave.
There was also the occasional movement in the shadows that should be something, but he could not see clearly.
’This silence... It’s like a horror movie.’
He clicked his tongue.
’Tsk. Damn it, now I want to watch something... but there’s nothing like that in this world.’
His mind drifted as he trudged forward through the snow. He started thinking about alternative entertainment that could replace movies in this world.
’There should be plays or something, right? I haven’t seen any in the city yet, though. Just a few bards reciting tales at taverns.’
The more Lucen recalled about his past life, the more he realized how little entertainment this fantasy world had to offer.
’Well, I guess I won’t have time for entertainment anyway, since even before the story starts, it’s pretty much game over for the North if I don’t do anything.’
