We walked as fast as we could and finally, we arrived back at our village safely. The relatives living in the village were already anxiously waiting for the totem warriors and priests to return. The sound of crying was heard everywhere and broke my heart. Happy tears came from those who found their husbands and children coming home. However, sad tears came from those who kept waiting until all the entourage had gone home, but the person they were waiting for didn't exist. Even though we did our best, but every hunt, it was impossible for everyone to survive. Pain pierced my heart when I saw them cry. Maybe that's what Rex experienced when his father didn't come home after hunting that day.Damn it, I totally remember that day from Rex's mind. I really felt what Rex felt and it made me unable to help myself. I ran towards the back of the village, where there was a clean river, and spilled all my feelings there. The sound of gurgling water makes the sound of my crying not too clear. I l

I gulped as the High Priest stood right in front of me. Suddenly, his hand grabbed the sword that was in my hand. Instantly he managed to pull the sword from the scabbard. I was so surprised that my mouth gaped involuntarily because I was so sure that earlier I could not remove the sword from the scabbard at all, but this old man easily lifted the sword."B-But..."“Pulling out the sword is not just a matter of pulling out the sword, Rex Hito. Everything has a purpose, everything has a meaning. Only the right intentions and goals can make you successful as an apprentice priest. What is your purpose for pulling out this sword?” he asked.“W-what?” I asked, frowning.I don't understand the point at all. His words were convoluted and I couldn't catch his meaning at all. My purpose for pulling out this sword? Wasn't he the one who told me to do it?"What is your goal, Rex Hito?" he asked again."I-I'm just doing your instruction," I replied.The High Priest sighed at my answer and I felt

“If you don't believe me, just check his pocket! He must have kept it there!” cried Aran.I already know this is bound to happen, but I won't let this drama continue like a telenovela."You came here and handed me an apology gift, didn't you Aran?" I asked."What? Apologize from you? Unwilling!" cried Aran."Check him out!" Aran's father called out and people started to surround me."No need!" I cried while taking out the pearl from my pocket.Everyone looked at me with surprised looks."It's true he took it!" Aran shouted loudly."I don't need to take it if you deliver it to me, Aran!" I shouted defensively. I don't know if anyone will believe me, but I have to give it a try, at least I've started confusing some of the totem warriors.“Don't talk nonsense! I can't possibly come to you, traitorous child!” cried Aran.“This traitorous son has already slandered my nephew!” cried Rais Musi, defending Aran.Damn it! The plot of this trap is getting more and more like a household drama and

I don't know what happened after the duel because everything was quiet, and dark, and I couldn't hear a thing. It felt like I was falling asleep without a dream and suddenly I smelled a pungent aroma and it brought my consciousness back. It feels like I've only been resting for a while, but now I have to be awakened again.My eyes felt so heavy when I tried to open them, but I felt I had to get up. Maybe I'm too used to waking up with the light of dawn, that I feel I have to get up soon. But I felt something cold touching the skin of my chest so I really woke up.I don't know how long I was unconscious, but now there is no longer that excruciating pain. I blinked my eyes and saw that Nola was using something and putting it on my chest skin, that's what made me feel a cold object touching my chest skin."Nola?" I asked in a hoarse voice.“You're awake? Can you see me clearly?” she asked in a curt tone.I narrowed my eyes. Slowly Nola's face began to be seen clearly. I nodded, answering

'You can't lose now!' Rex's small voice sounded back in my mind.Now I'm sure, he really is in this body, but how come I couldn't hear him before? I can't ask now because maybe people will think I'm crazy.'You have to win, Ares Jones!' he cried."I know," I whispered finally."What? What do you say?" asked Nola."Oh nothing," I replied.I was a little embarrassed because Rex's voice bothered me, but it didn't come again. Rex seems to know that I don't want him showing up for now. However, it made me think that Rex actually knew that I was occupying his body all this time. Where has he been all this time? Why can I only listen to him now? This reminded me of my own body. What happened to my body in my world?Nola with a very fast movement drew her sword toward me and the golden tree helped me avoid it. The attack made me realize that I needed to focus."You can't keep dodging!" cried Nola.Her patience was running out and she was ready to attack me with something really big. I'm sure
