[Location: Grasslands]

<{Tutorial Quest} Shall begin again in 24 hours> Those were the last words Ruthven heard as he passed out in the grasslands, and hours later, He would wake up to a ringing sound in his head.

"Argh.. my head hurts." He said aloud as he stood up under the ancient tree.

[Of course, your head hurts, You just experienced over 50 deaths.] A cold yet carefree voice responded to Ruthven's cries inside his head. "Wh... who's that," Ruthven asked. [ Huh!? Have you forgotten me already?] The voice responded.

Ruthven after slowly digesting the words of the voice inside his head, he then began to remember the events that had unfolded back in the dark forest.

With his sudden realization and although reluctant to, Ruthven asked terrified of the response he would get." Are you the one who was planning on killing those villagers?"

As the voice heard Ruthven's question, a cold silence was soon delivered upon the grasslands. The silence didn't last long as the voice responded with enthusiasm in its tone.[Ohh. You catch on quickly. I thought it would take you a while to notice, but you noticed it almost instantly, am very proud of you.]

Ruthven put on a disgusted look on his face as the voice's words rang clear in his mind. With anger and hate, Ruthven continued to ask, " Who in the hell are you? and what are you doing in my head?"

An evil laugh soon echoed in Ruthven's mind as The voice sounded it in pleasure.[ Now now Ruthven or should I call you Rin, Who said that this was your head, to begin with?]

Rin. This is what the voice had called Ruthven, Though not completely familiar with the name, Ruthven felt a strange attachment to the name, It was as if it was his origin.

The familiarity Ruthven got when he was called Rin had thrown him into a whirlwind of confusion and panic. "W-who Are you, Also why do you call me Rin?" He asked, and the response he got was a heart-shaking one.

[Because of your stupid actions We died 54 times in the tutorial. Do you what this means?] The voice asked.

Ruthven or Rin as he was called, suddenly remembered the deaths he had just gone through. While he didn't want to, he tried to respond to the voice's question.

"W-what does..." Before Rin could finish his question, The voice quickly interrupted wondering why you're called a failure, You don't belong in this body!!]

" F- failure" That word had almost brought the downfall of Rin as He screamed at the feelings from the past. They weren't words he was completely familiar with, but they still caused him great pain.

[Haha. Do you see that? You haven't changed a bit.] The voice said in a scornful tone. [ But You know what? am feeling generous today, after all, I am your older brother. So you'll be getting a second chance to redeem yourself]

Hate, anger, and familiarity were the emotions Rin felt as he tightly gripped his chest asking "What do you mean?"

His question wasn't only directed at the second chance he was to be given, it was also directed at the words of the voice being his older brother.

At a distance, The system was closely observing the actions of the voice and Rin as it had just confirmed the abilities of the special trait: True Nature.

< Fascinating, The special trait: True Nature seems to be in effect.>

/////

< Records of the host's action shall be taken as of this moment. >

The system continued to closely observe the conversation between the voice and Rin as it took many notes of the situation. Soon time was almost up, and the system was soon to begin the transfer.

----

As The Voice and Rin were still conversing, a system panel popped up before their eyes, and in it was written < [Notice] 5 minutes left before the Tutorial Quest begins.>

As the system panel popped up in their face, The voice and Rin had to cut their conversation short.

[Well would you look at that Rin! It seems the second chance we've been talking about has arrived.]

"Wait what!?"

[ Why the surprised reaction? Since you can't stand violence and think that there's another way out of this. Well I say give it a shot, and of course, if you fail your existence shall be terminated.]

" Wait. I didn't agree to this, what your doing isn't fair."

[Huh. Fair!? since when has our relationship ever been fair?]

"But you can't just..." as Rin was just about to speak, the system interrupted once more with < 30 seconds left before the Tutorial Quest begins.>

[Our time has been cut short, so I hope the next time we meet will be at your victory. Anyways chat to you later... Ruthven] at the end as the voice called Rin by Ruthven, it was like a sign of approval to use the name.

The system noticing this had halted at its countdown from ten, but that didn't last long as it soon continued again.

<3-2-1 *Ding* Commencing Transfer.> and with that, Ruthven was engulfed in holy light.

----

[Location: The Dark Forest]

Standing up to the familiar feeling of being stared down by hundreds of predators, Ruthven began his journey to the village with many questions.

On the way to the village, Ruthven tried to communicate with the voice once more as it was the only one with answers to his questions, but his efforts were in vain as he never got a response.

Soon light was in his view as he saw the end of the forest path. Getting closer and closer to the end of the forest path, Ruthven began to hear the voices of the villagers ahead.

Hearing their cheerful laughter and conversations, Ruthven began to put a smile on his face as he continued to leave the dark forest. The light soon pierced his vision as he saw the familiar wooden gate. The gate this time didn't have any guards around it.

And like last time, Ruthven still wasn't able to understand the language that had been used to write on the gate, but that didn't stop him from wishing that the people inside would be welcoming.

The only thing that would hinder his positive thoughts was the giant quest panel above the village. The panel hadn't changed much, the only change was the sentence that had appeared at the bottom of the panel.

The sentence read as < 2 attempts left before complete failure of the tutorial Quest> Ruthven had even more questions now as he read that sentence, but he thought it would be best he saved them for later.

Soon Ruthven began to walk towards the gate with hopeful wishes in his mind. The distance between the dark forest and the gate wasn't much as Ruthven soon entered the village.

As Ruthven entered the village, He saw many structures that weren't of the modern era, the structures weren't even close to that of the medieval era as they were far older than that.

Ruthven didn't see anyone the moment he entered the village, so he thought it is best if he explored more, and that's when he saw an old lady who was wearing nothing except a brown Cloth that was tied around her waist with nothing but a rope.

As soon as Ruthven saw the old lady, anger, and hate had already started to swell up inside of him."What's going on" He thought as he went closer to the old lady.

Ruthven then called out to the old lady in a respectful manner, but the response he got was uncalled for. The old lady hearing Ruthven's call turned around and as soon as She saw Ruthven Her expression went dark.

" Hey, miss " Ruthven said as he waved at the old Lady.

The lady heard Ruthven's words and she fell as liquid soon began to flow under her Cloth.

" Hey what's Wrong" Ruthven moved his hand to touch the lady and that's when it popped up.
