What? I Actually Reincarnated As Stepping Stone In Another World?

Arthur stared at the skyline of the reading room in a daze.

"The stage above the Elemental Lord?"

"If the Elemental Lord stage is a stage that only exists in fairy tales, then the stage above it, isn't it the stage of a god?"

"What is the concept of power at this stage?"

Many various questions arose in Zayn's mind that gave him goosebumps.

However, he quickly took a deep breath and gained clarity in his mind.

"This should be explored further and gradually."

"The current me doesn't even have a core; how can I have the capacity to think about this?"

"This will only make my mind messy."

"Now, I must focus on the awakening ceremony in the next three days."

After thinking about that, he felt better, and a fighting spirit appeared in his eyes.

The journey to becoming strong was often perilous, and there were many obstacles to overcome.

However, hadn't he promised himself to return to the side of his loved ones in the previous world?

Thinking about this, a soft smile appeared on his lips, and he immediately turned his attention to Runa next to him.

However, he saw Runa, who was staring at his face in a daze, and immediately blushed.

"Little girl, you really stole a glance with your master, didn't you?" Arthur smiled teasingly at the little girl beside him.

His mood was really better now, and he wanted to share it with the girl beside him.

"No-no, young master!"

"It's not like that!"

Runa waved her hand hurriedly and wanted to explain, but she didn't know how to explain because she didn't know where to start.

"Young master's face is very handsome!"

"I really can't take my eyes off him."

"If I say it like that, it will be very embarrassing!"

Runa's head emitted smoke, and her face turned red like an apple.

Seeing this, Arthur smiled and did not tease her further.

"Alright, I understand, little girl."

"I was just joking."

Arthur giggled and shook his head playfully.

This girl was really cute.

Who would have guessed that a cute girl like this would grow up to be a very cunning and charming figure?

Runa lowered her head, and her red face did not fade.

"Hum," she muttered lowly and calmed herself down.

Arthur smiled, then immediately turned his gaze to the pile of books and said to her, "Runa, can you call the librarian?"

Runa, who had regained her composure, immediately nodded.

"Yes, young master."

She did not ask any further questions and immediately hurried out of the reading room.

Looking at Runa like this, he unconsciously smiled.

However, the smile soon disappeared as he thought of a woman's figure and smiling face.

"For some reason, I always see a resemblance between her and you, Mira." Arthur showed a sad expression and clenched his fists.

Somehow, looking at Runa made him see the figure of Mira, who always followed him from childhood into adulthood.

In a way, the woman who had always been by his side until just before his death was Mira.

pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ She also held a high position in his heart, even beating Luna, who was his childhood friend and ex-girlfriend.

"I will definitely come back!" Arthur reaffirmed his determination, then sat back in the chair and continued reading the book.

five minutes later.

Runa returned, with the librarian following behind her.

"Young master, I've brought back the librarian." Runa spoke softly to Arthur, who was reading a book.

Hearing that, Arthur looked away and then looked at Runa gently.

"Thank you, Runa." Arthur said with a smile, then immediately turned his gaze to the librarian behind Runa.

"Sorry to disturb you." Arthur said a little apologetically.

Hearing that, the librarian immediately shook his head and bowed to Arthur.

"No-no, it's my honor, your highness." He spoke respectfully and smiled.

Arthur nodded his head and continued.

"I need you to organize the books and bring them to my room; can you do that?" Arthur pointed to the pile of books he had not read and spoke lightly.

"Of course, young master, as you wish." The librarian quickly walked over to the pile of books and took out a small pouch.

Soon all the books disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Arthur immediately guessed lightly and was a little surprised.

"Space Pouch." He muttered, then immediately thought of something.

"Space pouches" are pouches that contain space magic and can only be made by smiths at the Elemental Saint stage.

The pouches were divided into three classes: low, middle, and high.

The price of a low-grade pouch alone could support an entire middle-class family for ten years.

One could imagine how valuable it was, and the librarian in front of him had a low-grade pouch that showed the wealth of the Duke of Asvold mansion.

After collecting the books, the librarian immediately said to Arthur.

"It's done, young master."

"Later, all the books will be moved to the study desk in your room." He said it respectfully.

Arthur nodded and said lightly, "Thank you."

"You're welcome, your highness." The librarian bowed his head and spoke humbly.

"Well, I'll be going then, and you don't need to escort me." Arthur smiled and quickly walked out of the study room with Runa following close behind.

"Yes, young master." The librarian smiled, and his eyes looked in the direction Arthur was walking.

...

Arthur walked out of the library, and suddenly Runa's voice sounded behind him.

"Young master!"

Arthur immediately stopped and looked at Runa behind him.

"What's wrong, Runa?" Arthur smiled and asked softly.

Seeing this smile, Runa really couldn't keep up the defense in her heart, and her face immediately turned red.

However, she immediately remembered something important to tell her young master.

"That is, the awakening ceremony will begin in three days, and the butler asked me to tell you to prepare yourself." Runa looked into Arthur's violet eyes and told him something important.

Arthur nodded, and he had indeed thought about this since the day of his arrival.

He also prepared himself by practicing and improving his physical fitness.

"Well, thank you, my little maid." Arthur rubbed her head and smiled.

Runa's face turned red, and she was very embarrassed.

However, she did not avoid it and enjoyed it.

After all, she was just an innocent little girl now, and living without parents and relatives made her never feel any affection from anyone.

Of course, she desperately wanted to feel that, and Arthur, who was a very kind person and a master figure with gentleness in him, made her never want to leave his side.

Arthur smiled and said to Runa, "Well, can you take me to my room?"

"I don't know the direction at all."

Runa immediately nodded eagerly and spoke softly.

"Of course, young master!"

She immediately took the lead, and the smiling Arthur also followed behind her.

Soon, they disappeared down a long hallway.

-----------------------------

I apologize both the delayed chapter updates and the many grammatical errors in the earlier chapters.

I had originally intended to post an update every day after work, but possibly because I was tired, I didn't pay attention to some grammatical mistakes.

Also, I'm actually hesitant to continue this series because I anticipate being rather busy in the upcoming months, which could have an impact on the plot.

I haven't made a decision yet, but I'm still thinking about it.

And, as I'm now off, I'll continue updating later tonight!

By the way, can you guess what type of core our Mc will awaken to? (Smiled) (Smiled) (Smiled)

Stay tuned!
