When Loki got home what awaited him was an angry Alisa and a smiling Liam. He was once again being lectured by Alisa while Liam looked on with glee, as he found it funny to watch his older brother being scolded. Alisa kept on emphasizing that Loki hasn't fully recovered as even now some of his memories still haven't returned.
Well, aside from that there was nothing else wrong with Loki, in fact, his physical state was better than before the accident. He was now much healthier, doing exercises every day, and even his relationship with his younger brother had improved.
After being lectured by his little sister for leaving suddenly, not responding to their calls, and coming home late making them worried, Loki told them that the kid they saw was okay. After he was done telling them the made-up story he prepared, the two younger siblings went to sleep and Loki went to his room.
Once in his room, Loki who sat on his bed felt his left hand throbbing. He was confused as to what it was but as he lifted his sleeves he was surprised, his entire forearm was covered by a bruise. It was then Loki remembered the strike he received from Shin.
'Didn't I block that strike while using enhancement on my body?... Just how powerful was that strike?'
Loki remembered the face of the battle maniac Shin and shook his head. After thinking about it for a while he felt that people like that, people who loved battle were really beyond his understanding.
'Why fight if there is no benefit to oneself? An assassin kills for money, a soldier dies for his country, but what of such people who fight simply because they want to?... What is it they seek and what is it they wish to gain? Is it power they seek, overwhelming power but even if they gained that what can they do, keep on fighting without purpose?... I better stop thinking about that...'
Loki sighed as he tried thinking about something else, he then remembered the person he saved. That was the only person he has seen in this world that had an inkling of mana within him. Even though that person was weak as a normal person, but the moment he learns how to utilize his mana that would certainly change things.
Loki looked at his own body and frowned. This body that he currently possesses also has mana within, it's not the mana of Fade the assassin but Loki the former owner of this body. At first, he thought the reason why Loki had mana was because of him transmigrating into this body, but now he thought differently.
Now that he saw another person with mana he started having some doubts. If Michael had mana, it was possible that Loki had mana even before Fade transmigrated into Loki's body.
'Then does that mean there could be others as well?... I haven't thoroughly inspected Alisa and Liam if they had mana. Simply trying to sense their mana normally won't work if they're like that kid. It's possible that their mana is so minuscule that it would be hard to notice if I don't check them properly. I better look into that once I get the chance...'
Loki sighed again as he laid down on his bed. So many different things had happened today that it became more tiring than when he was doing an assassination. Loki looked at the ceiling and stared at it. The ceiling was clean and was made of wood and stone, it had no monsters hidden within nor did it have any insects that would fall on his face.
It was so different from what he was used to seeing back in his old world. Back then he would have difficulty sleeping as it was possible for some sort of monster to arrive in the cave he was hiding in. Every day was a challenge for him as he continued to sleep in that cave that was filled with numerous insects some of which were poisonous. Every day was a struggle, from morning to night. He might've been the most formidable assassin but in the end, he was still human.
On the other hand, in this world, not only was he not on guard that some random monster would come, he even gets to sleep in such a comfortable bed. The bed here could not even be compared to the beds of the Emperors he has killed, as his current bed was more comfortable than any of those beds.
There were also wonderful devices that help him feel more comfortable when he feels cold or when he feels hot. Even the fights in this world paled in comparison to his old one. In this world, there was a sense of order and stability. Even with the unknown factors such as the martial artists he still felt like this world was less bloody than his old one.
Thinking about the time he laid in that lonely and cold cave, and now where he was surrounded with company and warmth, Loki smiled. He did not want to admit it as he could not believe in ghosts, the heavens nor the Gods, but deep down he thought that this must be a blessing given to him by his sister Shera who was looking after him.
'I guess tomorrow will once again be another hectic day. I wonder if that noisy library spirit that claims to be the spirit of the Akashic Records will recognize that kid as a good host for its so-called system. Well, it's not like it has a choice, since I won't become its host. So I hope that kid and that spirit could get along. It might also be interesting to see how far that kid could go.'
As those thoughts filled his mind Loki closed his eyes and slowly fell asleep. Unlike the first time he transmigrated into this world, Loki could now sleep without putting up his guard as he felt safe within this structure of wood and stone. Also unlike before where he continued to exist simply because of the promise he made with his sister, now Loki actually felt a tinge of excitement for tomorrow to come.
