Crownless Reincarnation: New World? Nah I'd win-Chapter 107: Sarvan [2]
Chapter 107: Sarvan [2]
Akamir’s body fell down as he quickly landed on the ground.
’Huff...’
The first thing that Akamir noticed was the chilling cold that he felt.
It was like he had been sent in a place that had a temperature of negative.
And...
That really was the place he was in.
When his gaze adjusted to the new light, Akamir found nothing but snow around him.
’What is this place?’
He found himself in the middle of the storm.
Akamir stood up, brushing snow off his cloak.
The cold bit into his skin even through the fabric.
He hugged himself for warmth, his breath fogging in the air.
The wind howled around him, sharp and loud like the wail of something distant and dying.
The ground beneath his boots was thick with fresh snow with only his own footprints.
Flakes continued to fall from a sky so white it almost blended into the earth.
He looked around.
There was nothing.
No trees or structures, no animals or beasts, but just an endless void of frozen land.
Akamir narrowed his eyes, trying to see through the flurry.
Finally, the light of his earrings shone softly and he felt a warmth filling his body once again.
’Does this thing protect me from frost as well?’
He wondered, glancing at the thing before he focused on the situation.
’Did I get sent to the wrong place?’
He clicked his tongue and moved forward, stepping carefully through the snow.
He glanced around only to find Nayomi with him.
"Hello." He greeted her with a smile as she looked at him.
"Any idea where we are?"
"Do you see anything that can be helpful for that?" She rebuked, looking away. "It’s nothing but endless snow."
Akamir sighed and looked around again.
She was right.
There really was nothing in sight.
He squinted through the thick curtain of snow, hoping for a shadow, a structure, even a rock, anything that could guide them.
But there was only white.
"We need to find a landmark," he said finally.
"And where do you suppose we find that?" Nayomi replied dryly.
He ignored her sarcasm and looked at the glowing portal above them.
’Might as well, go back.’
He thought but stopped himself from doing it.
Because....
His eyes finally caught something.
Something enormous...that was walking on the snow.
’....Holy.’
Akamir’s pupils slowly dilated as he looked at the giant.
An enormous being that was almost a hundred meters tall.
The giant moved slowly, each step sending a dull thud through the frozen ground.
Snow clung to its legs like dust on stone.
It wasn’t rushing but with that body it didn’t have to.
The other thing that Akamir noticed was its burning chest that looked like Eternal flames.
"What the hell is that?" he whispered.
Nayomi didn’t reply as she stared at the giant as well.
"Sarvan." She whispered softly, looking at it. "The last giant alive."
Akamir bit his lips, still confused as he looked at the thing.
The giant’s body was made of something pale like a stone.
Its arms hung low, almost dragging through the snow.
Long icicles jutted out of its back like broken wings and down its chin as well.
It didn’t look like it had noticed them yet.
Akamir crouched down instinctively, trying to stay low behind a mound of snow.
Akamir’s jaw clenched. "Can it see us?"
"Not yet," she said. "But if we move carelessly, it will."
Akamir slowly turned his head, eyes still fixed on the giant.
"..."
To his horror, the thing was now staring right at their direction.
His large eyes, bigger than a car, stared deep into his soul.
’Ah, fuck....’
Akamir said as he slowly stood up in his place.
The look on the giant’s face changed; now it was brimming with anger.
Akamir looked into its eyes.
"INTRUDER!!!!"
The giant roar echoed, almost making him deaf as the thing rushed towards them.
The giant—Sarvan, Nayomi had called it—was charging with terrifying speed.
For something so huge, it moved like a beast unleashed.
Its burning chest flared brighter as it roared again, "YOU DARE ENTER THIS LAND?!"
Akamir stared at the running giant as the thing was far closer than before.
’Makes me wonder.’ Akamir thought, rubbing the back of his neck. ’How strong do I have to become to kill a thing like that.’
The giant raised its hand to grab onto him.
Akamir finally moved as he jumped up.
The portal over his head swallowed him completely.

Akamir landed on the ground, upside down.
He quickly balanced his body and landed on his feet once again.
He quickly sat down on the ground to calm his raging heart.
The mimicker who led them here quickly moved towards him. "Are you alright, master—?"
"There is a fucking giant on the other side." Akamir snapped, glaring at him. "The fuck you meant by saying ’It’s safe?’"
The mimicker’s eyes widened in surprise. "There was no such thing when I entered."
"But when I got in, I was almost a goner." Akamir replied with an annoyed look.
The mimicker quickly fell onto his knees. "I have committed a great sin, I will kill myself—."
"Shut up." Akamir groaned, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Tell me what do you hate the most."
"Pardon?"
"Are you deaf?"
"Uh, it’s the sun." He replied. "I don’t like—."
"You will be standing under the sun all day tomorrow as a punishment." Akamir said, looking at him. "Do you understand?"
"...Yes, master."
Akamir sighed as he stood up, dusting the snow off his body.
"Shut this place down until I give further instructions." He ordered, looking at the portal. "I don’t want any issues."
"Yes, master."
Akamir began to walk out of the place and the mimicker followed.
"When can we start mining?" He asked, glancing back at it.
"Tomorrow, my Lord." The mimicker replied. "We asked lady Mika for more help in numbers."
A confused look creeped on his face before he realised.
’Oh, right. Mika is Judge of Apathy.’
Akamir gave him a nod. "Make sure all the things go smoothly." He said. "I will give you more orders later."
The mimicker knelt in his place as they reached the main Hall.
"It will be done, my Lord."
Akamir gave them one last nod before he summoned his Crown.
A portal emerged in front of him and he walked inside.
---
"Urgh."
Akamir groaned as he fell on his bed with his body barely moving.
Even though the time for rest with every use of the teleportation has lessened by a lot, he still needed to spend some time to recover.
He lay on his back as he looked at the ceiling.
’What a painful day.’
He groaned inwardly and glanced at Nayomi who stood by the window.
She was once again staring at the moon. freёnovelkiss.com
Akamir wanted to say something but stopped when he heard the door opening.
He turned to look there as he found Zia walking inside his room.
She blinked, looking at him. "When did you come back?"
Akamir looked at her suspiciously. "Why are you entering my room this late at night?"
She showed him the clothes she was carrying.
"Had to place them where they belong." She replied. "I am glad your underwear aren’t as dirty—."
"Can you stop?" Akamir groaned, glaring at her.
She shrugged, walking towards the clothes section of his drawer.
"Tell me when you come back." She said, cheekily. "Otherwise, I might attack you thinking it’s a thief."
Akamir gave her a look. "How strong are you anyway?"
Zia blinked and smiled in his direction. "Wanna know?"
"Yes."
"I won’t tell you." She said, laughing at her own joke. "You aren’t strong enough to know my ranking."
Akamir groaned. "Whatever."
’Though, I really want to know how strong she is.’
Akamir thought, looking at her back as she placed his clothes neatly.
Just as he was about to speak, she stood up once again.
"By the way, young master." She said, looking back at him. "You should look at that."
Akamir glanced at the letter that was placed on his side.
He picked it up and immediately his face turned serious as he looked at the seal.
It was the seal of the royal family.
’The fuck happened now?’
He wondered, opening the seal.
’....’
It was an invitation.
By the king Aldric himself.
