Traveling to another world, inheriting a mess at the beginning

"What kind of people are those outside the shelter?"

After leaving the shelter with Yalu through the gap in the barrier, Aarons asked this question.

His memory was still sealed, so he couldn't judge the situation outside at all.

However, Yalu might not know much about the human world, so he knew that he might not get the answer he wanted.

"Bad people are different from my brother."

"...They must be bad people."

Although he knew that those humans would probably be difficult to communicate with, Aarons still hoped to get more information - this seemed to be a habit he had before.

"However, those people started killing each other a few days ago."

"Internal conflict... Let's get closer to that side and take a look."

In order not to attract the attention of outsiders, the two carefully shuttled through the woods.

A faint mist always shrouded them, and according to Yalu, this was actually an ability she used to interfere with other people's cognition.

Yalu's ability is not suitable for fighting. Usually, she can only use her mist-like body to release her mental power to confuse or interfere with other people's perception.

"... There is a smell of blood and burning, just ahead."

"Yes, human, breath."

But not long after walking, Aarons and Yalu found disturbing traces.

A strong smell of burning came from the gaps in the sparse woods, which immediately made people alert - and after quickly approaching, Aarons saw a tragic scene that almost made him vomit.

In an open area in the forest, the dilapidated camp seemed to have just experienced a disaster.

There were charred corpses and broken limbs of humans everywhere, and there was no sign of any living people... and the strong smell of blood and burning was proof that the people here had just been killed not long ago.

"This should be a military camp, but..."

The tents and weapon racks that had not been completely burned proved that this should be a military camp where many people were stationed.

But such a group of soldiers were slaughtered so cruelly... What happened here?

"Brother, I can recall some of the illusions of the past."

"... Can you see the past? I'll leave it to you."

Resisting the physical discomfort, Aarons watched Yalu walk into the ruins of the disaster, letting a thick fog wrap her body.

Then, the false illusions from the past reappeared in this place.

...

"Hey! Don't be lazy! The captain said that the barrier can't last too long."

"We just finished patrolling, damn... Didn't you hear that our king and those tribal leaders seemed to be killed by the imperials on the front line."

"That's a rumor! Listen carefully, our mission is just to wait for the barrier to disappear and capture all the aliens inside. Don't worry about other things, someone will think about it for you!"

-Not long ago, several people dressed as soldiers were patrolling in the military camp and talked about recent events with a person dressed as an officer.

"But...if that's the case, the tribes will fight each other."

"That's right, without a king, the big tribes will definitely cause trouble."

"You worry too much! Alas...listen, this thing has indeed happened. So we have to make something that can be sold to find a way to survive."

Those people looked worried, even the chief looked worried.

But although the situation was a bit troublesome, what they were going to do was not a good thing either - they planned to hunt people hiding in the shelter to gain capital to turn things around in the chaos.

To hurt others for their own benefit...they had already planted the seeds of cause and effect.

"Okay, you guys go back and rest, I'll contact the captain... We don't have enough manpower in this camp, we should get more people--"

"There are enemies outside! They look like guys from the Barol tribe!"

"Barol!? Damn it--you, prepare for battle... No, run!"

However, before these soldiers had time to get ready, a blazing fire magic exploded in the center of the camp, blowing the soldiers who were just resting here into pieces.

"Level 4 magic! Barol's gang of lunatics... Everyone, get out of here!"

"Captain! We..."

"Don't waste time! If you hesitate any longer, we will--"

Before the officer-like man could give his order, another magic fell accurately beside them... and burned him and the previous soldiers to ashes.

Then,A group of soldiers riding on monsters rushed into the camp from a distance and began to kill the people here without mercy.

"These people are from the Gruul tribe! So kill them all! Our Barol is the king of Sunset!"

"Damn it... Run away!"

Although the soldiers in the camp wanted to counterattack the sudden attack, they were outnumbered and outmatched in strength, and ultimately failed to resist these former colleagues.

When the short battle finally ended, these soldiers who were still waiting for the hunt all turned into corpses that would not move again.

...

"... It turned out to be a civil war."

Sunset... The knowledge that Aarons possessed contained some information about this country.

This was a multi-tribal united kingdom, and many tribes started out by hunting and plundering. So even if it was unified by the king of a certain tribe, it could not change this barbaric custom.

Even after unification, there are still a lot of frictions between the tribes - some tribes will not hesitate to kill people from the hostile tribes who stray into their sphere of influence.

However, now, most of the leaders of this barbaric country have died in a war.

"The battle with the Twilight People... Um..."

A severe headache came instantly, interrupting Aarons's thinking.

The illusion in front of him disappeared, and the bloody remains returned to reality again.

"Brother, are you okay?"

"It's okay... I just didn't expect that humans would treat their compatriots so cruelly."

People belonging to the same country will fight each other so much, so is there such a meaningless killing in the place where I used to live?

... Maybe it's because of this that I lost my memory.

"Okay, I guess the problem outside the barrier should be solved... Let's go back."

"Um, then..."

But before Aarons and Yalu left here, a violent explosion that resounded through the sky suddenly came from the direction of the shelter.

——Is there something wrong over there? !
