Chapter 161 - Thirteen Winters: Rudeus’ Journey
POV: Rudeus Greyrat
Today I was thirteen years old.
When I was reincarnated into a new world, I promised myself that I would strive and do my best in my new life.
After all, in my previous life, I was nothing more than a failure living off my parents, confined to a room, afraid of the world.
Thirteen years have passed since then.
Up until I was seven, you could say I'd had a peaceful life. Paul and Zenith could be considered relatively wealthy in Buenna Village.
I learned a lot during that time, especially from my master Roxy. She was the one who pulled me out of that dark world where I was hiding and took me outside the house for the first time.
Roxy showed me the sky, the horizon, and the warmth of walking down a road. She taught me much more than just magic.
With her almost infinite wisdom, she was my teacher in everything. And I felt, from the bottom of my heart, that as long as I followed her teachings, everything would eventually turn out all right.
Following Roxy's teachings, I met Sylphy. She became my first friend in this new world.
Sylphy was kind, patient, and accepted me as I was, despite all my flaws. We grew up together. And when we were seven, the mana catastrophe happened.
