Regressed Reincarnation: How to Escape a Fantasy World!!

COREY'S POV:-

Currently, I am sitting along with my….niece? I am eating some fruits which she is serving me with a smile on her face.

'Where did that dangerous girl go? The one that felt like she could kill you in the blink of an eye?' I take a bite from some form of sweet fruit that she presented to me. 

-Crunch

'It's actually good. Wait? What is this situation?' I think as I recall back the information that she told me before.

("Your brother is my dad. I am your niece, Uncle Corey. Glad to have you on board, even though I am probably older than you, hehe," she said before leaving with a happy smile as she walked in a jolly mood. Both me and the other person who was there looked at her with pure stupefaction before looking at each other. Then he blinked a few more times and then untied me.)

After which I stepped out only to find her standing there, grabbing my hands and showing me around the boat with a bright smile. I felt as if I was guided by a young, joyful child all around the boat. After which she asked me if I wanted something to eat. Unable to react, I just stood there doing nothing at which she smiled and said,"I will take that as a yes." before taking me to the eatery. Now that brings us to the present situation. 

"What would you like to eat? We have veggies, meats and various other things. Uncle Corey…you look so thin. Is there anything that you prefer to eat especially?" she asks as she looks at me.

-Baam

Something or someone lands on the ship. I sense a person…a very powerful person coming towards us…he is at least a King level…no…even more powerful than that. My eyes get fixated in that direction as I instinctively channel my mana in preparation for a defensive and an offensive move.

Tick-Tock-Tick-Tick

The sound of the clock takes over as dead silence covers the area. Finally, after a few moments, a man enters the eatery. I observe that person carefully, as I find a black-haired person with a giant hammer on his back. His hair reached down to his knees. He had a short beard that, along with his black scarred eye, made him look like he would kill anyone without any hesitation and mercy.

He looks at me before speaking," Who is this pric-"

But someone stops him…my eyes turn wide open as I look at the situation in front of me. Aisha…held him in her hand and her eyes looked like they were about to kill this man as if he were an insect.

She opens her mouth and speaks in a monotonous voice," Treat him equal to me, or else you won't even be able to beg me to kill you."

The atmosphere turns serious as I look at the situation…this is the same as…brother, when he gets angry…

'Though…brother only gets angry in certain situations, but this is…' I lacked words to explain her actions. The black-haired guy, scared shitless of Aisha, looks at her with a scared and apologetic expression. His eyes seem to have given all hope before the fight even began. Aisha then drops him at the ground…no she throws him on the ground and then turns back at me. I take a step back as I observe her. She then walks towards me and her expression starts changing from an angry and expressionless one to that of a happy-go-lucky one.

She reaches right in front of me and smiles at me before speaking,"How about we continue, Uncle Corey?"

Sweat trickled down my face as I finally realised how fucked up this situation is. I wanted to run away from here; I wanted to escape from this crazy place. From this crazy person.

'Brother…save me…save me from your daughter. Cause I don't think I can do it by myself. Please…brother…'

My eyes turn teary as I observe her. I even started crying like a baby slowly as I observed her. Looking at me crying, she looks at me with a slightly stunned expression before showing me an apologetic smile and speaking," You are Corey Eros, right?"

I look at her with a half crying expression as I try my best not to cry in this particular situation. My mind wondered what she was getting at but I still answered.

"Yes."

She smiles at my answer and puts her hand on my head before speaking." I am a nice girl in general. I will always be nice to my family, but anyone else…" Her smile remains the same but her expression gets colder and colder…no it wasn't just her expression but the area around…the whole sea around us for kilometres…was freezing…she continues," I will kill him or her without any hesitation. Cause, Uncle Corey…everything…I repeat, everything is going to kill you here. No matter how strong you are here, no matter how friendly you are here. You can't trust even the ones you have spent centuries with here. They will kill you in the blink of an eye. Why? Cause those f*cker Gods manipulate them in ways you can never even think of."

I look at her as my expression changes and I too get serious and ask her, "Then why me? Why treat me differently?"

At this question, her smile gets softer and so does the atmosphere. She looks at me before head patting me for a few moments and speaking,

"Because Dad has allowed you to be close to him. If it is Dad, I can always make an exception, hehe," she smiles and makes a funny face.

"I…don't understand…" I tell my exact feelings right at that moment. She smiles before speaking.

"Dad is, you see, the kindest yet the scariest person you can find in this world. I, as her daughter, will always believe in one simple yet small thing that my mother always spoke. 'Aether never makes mistakes.. There is always a reason behind his actions.' "
