The World Traveler

Chapter 014

After separating with the trio, because we wanted to hang out by ourselves, although Hidalgo and Anderson wanted to intrude, Kageyama stopped them, so here we are, in the library, right after we charged our e-coins, talking and flirting when suddenly...

{Are you ready?} nadinig kong sabi ng babae and suddenly, a magic circle appeared below our, my and Sam's feet, and I can't even moved as if someone were stopping me from moving.

When the light coming from the magic circle fully enveloped us, we suddenly found ourselves in the middle of a forest.

"Ahh~ fuck damn it, not again," sabi ko and scratched my head, in irritation while Sam were confused and just hugging me, scared.

{If you want to leave, reach the end,} nadinig kong sabi ng babae.

"W-what is that?" tanong ni Sam "if we want to leave, reach the end, what end?"

"Did you hear it too?" tanong ko.

"Yes," sabi niya.

"Pati yung bago tayo napunta dito?" tanong ko at umiling lang si Sam.

'Al,' sabi ko sa isipan.

<<Wait... checking,>> sabi ni Al <<fuck, wait a damn minute,>> sabi niya and I suddenly felt as if hundreds of chains bound me, making me feel extremely heavy and weak, to the point its very hard to breath.

"Xander!" sabi ni Sam but I couldn't hear her well, all I can feel were the excruciating pain as if something were being torn off my body and the hundreds of heavy chains binding me, and before I know it, I fell unconscious.

When I woke up, I saw Sam, squating down beside me, with her chin resting on her right hand, looking at me, smiling.

"You have a lot to explain to me," sabi niya "uncle."

"Huh," sambit ko at natigilan bigla, because my voice reverted back to my voice as a middle aged man "Al," tawag ko.

<<... Still here, world system sealed most of our skills, leaving us some few harmless skills, if we want to unseal it, we can only grow stronger,>> paliwanag ni Al.

"Where should I start?" sabi ko and took out a knife from my storage, fortunately, I still have it, and gave it to her, a sign of my trust, prepared for her to stab that same knife to me later.

"Well, let's start from who I am," sabi ko at nagsimula na sa kwento ko, first from the knowledge I have about my past life, then what happened to this life, why I did it, the miscalculations of me suddenly blurting flirting words, and her accepting so I decided to take responsibility, originaly its all because of responsibility, but I found myself falling in love with her the more I interact with her, specially now that I decided to enjot this second chance.

"So, the Xander I interacted all those time were already you?" tanong niya sakin.

"Yes, the real Xander were already in another world —"

<<Planet,>> singit ni Al.

"— at that time," sagot ko kay Sam.

"Then its fine, its you uncle who I fell in love with, not some people that you just used for a new identity," sabi niya as I get up and she just sat in between my legs, leaning on me.

"In the first place, my first love in uncle, so its a dream come true for this to happen," sabi niya.

"What?" sabi ko.

"Hey, in my memories, uncle is a kind and cool uncle okay," sabi niya "you experienced some hardships but after deciding to throw it all away, I finally felt like I finally met uncle when you chose to become Xander."
