Chapter 35: To Serve
Walking through the door lake was expecting to see three people but instead he saw one. It was a boy probably 2 or 3 years younger than Lake. "Hello I'm Solomon, I live in the room next to yours so I'm here to show you where yours is." Solomon was waving his hand around while he said that Lake wasn't sure why he was so excited but it was kind of funny so Lake hoped he did this all the ti. "I'm Lake." Lake reached out with his hand for a hand shake.
Solomon grabbed his hand and shook it like crazy. "It's nice to et you. They told us yesterday that you'd be here. Let tell you it's so nice to finally have another person to talk to; well that I don't have to walk 30 minutes to see at the least." Lake didn't like the way Solomon held onto his hand after he was done shaking it so he said, "Can you show my room? I have to do sothing before Master Lucas cos to get ."
"Sure thing, follow ." Lake was happy to see Solomon was willing to save their new friendship for later because Lake needed to read this book and he wasn't sure how long it was going to take. "Hey Solomon, where are the other two people that live here? Master Lucas told there were three."
"They're in the library. This is normally our study ti but I stayed to show you to your room." Lake wondered if Study ti was an enforced rule or just the schedule that was recomnded. "Ok here's your room, the one across the hall is mine, so if you need anything ask one of your servants or knock on my door." Lake wasn't sure what Solomon ant by his servants because he had yet to be given any.
Opening the ornate door that led to his room Lake wasn't sure what to expect so far the rooms he had walked through hadn't been too fancy but the door kind of gave away what was going to be behind it. Looking into the room Lake saw what he had expected; it looked like a palace; he could also see stairs that led upwards. "That explains why It took so long to walk up to the 32nd floor." Every floor seed to encompass multiple subfloors or maybe so of them just have really high ceilings.
"Hello Sir." There were also 3 people dressed in fancy clothes bowing next to the door. Lake guessed these were the servants he had been hearing about. "Hello I'm Lake."
"We know Sir, they told us to expect your arrival today."
"Ok well, I need to get to work, where's my desk?" Lake just assud he'd have a desk since this place was so big. "Right this way Sir, follow , it's right at the top of these stairs." Lake wasn't sure how he felt about there being stairs inside his room after all the stairs he had just gone up but he guessed he would just have to get used to it.
"This is your desk and this is your bookshelf." Lake could have guessed this since they were both in his room but there was no reason to be rude to the people he got to tell what to do for the rest of his life. "Ok thank you, will you track down so new clothes for ? I'm not a big fan of this robe."
"Right away sir we will do proper introductions later when you have more ti."
"Ok bye bye." Lake needed to read this book If master Lucas specifically gave him this book after he brought up Unique skills It had to be a good read. Unassuming looks or not. Inspecting the old leather cover Lake was looking for a na not finding one Lake just opened the front cover to find a handwritten na, "Amanda Watson."
Moving on to the first page Lake quickly realized it was a journal written by a two year old child. "Today my arm beca strong enough to hold a pen, it's been just over two years since I was reborn into a new body. I plan to write as much as I can rember in case having my mories was a mistake. I've been scared that my mories will just disappear one day and I'll just beco a normal baby."
Lake realized this was a journal that belonged to soone like him who had co from another world. He wasn't sure how else it could pertain to him he could already see the point Master Lucas was trying to make that people that had unique skills always had complicated backgrounds but just to make sure he started to read the rest of the journal.
"Today I witnessed soone use Magic or at least what I assu to be Magic. I saw my father light a fire using his hand. Up until this point I was under the impression that I was on earth still but it seems I might be sowhere completely different." Lake was surprised to see Amanda ntion Earth; he realized that it could be a coincidence and it was a different Place with the sa na but this could also an lots of people from earth were sent here one way or another.
It seed Amanda was born as a baby while Lake got a new body that seed to be exactly the sa as his old one. Thinking about it, Lake was happy he hadn't had to be a baby again because last ti made him cry. "Sir, I brought you your new clothes. Would you like to change you, or just leave them here?"
Looking at the older gentleman, Lake decided he would rather do it himself. "No, you can just leave them there. I'm going to change after I get done reading this."
"Yes Sir. Just call if you need help." Lake wasn't sure what he was implying, but he felt like he would be able to put his own clothes on. Getting back to his book Lake only had a few more pages, Unique skills hadn't been ntioned yet but he was still happy Lucas had made him read this book. It had been an eyeopener. He had already heard there were others from different worlds but this was making him think maybe it wasn't that rare.
Getting to the last page Lake was disappointed to find it was just a regular entry about Amanda's divorce in her last life. This journal had been 60 pages of things that had happened to Amanda in her own world and Lake had to say it sounded like she had lived on the sa Earth he had.
Thinking about what he had just read, Lake understood Lucas was telling him that his Unique skill gave the fact that he was reincarnated away and he should probably just keep it to himself. Maybe no one had a way to tell so his secret was safe as long as he didn't say anything.
Putting the book down, Lake started to look through his clothes they had brought him. This was the first ti since he got here he actually got to pick from multiple outfits. Lake picked out so black pants and shirt and a white robe that looked like the robe every mber of The Alchemist guild wore just with no color.
After putting everything on Lake looked into the small mirror on his desk he looked more like an Alchemist now that he had everything on. "Sir the Guild Leader is ready for you, he's in the Lab right above us."
"Alright, will you carry up there." Lake was just ssing around but he wanted to see if this guy would do it. "Right away sir."
"Wo wo, I was just ssing around." This guy hadn't even taken a second before he went to pick Lake up. Thinking about it, if this guy was fine with it, so was Lake. "You know what, go ahead. I don't think my legs got it in them." Lake let the guy pick him up and just like Lake expected this guy had no problem lifting him. "Alright, grab that book, I want to take it with ."
After getting the book The man started carrying Lake to the lab that Lucas was waiting in and Lake had to say this dude was a stair master he was going so fast it was like they were going downhill. "This was the right choice. I hope you're enjoying this as much as I am because I'm gonna have you do this every day." Studying His servants face as he said this Lake saw no dissatisfaction and could only conclude he really didn't mind so this just beca a good way to save ti.
Lake would probably use this ti saving thod until he learned how to fly. "Alright we are here sir do you want to bring you inside or do you want to go in alone."
"I'll take it from here. Thank you for your hard work." After the guy put Lake down he bowed and left, Lake guessed he was heading back to the room. So far Lake had to say he was very satisfied with his servants, just one was already so helpful and he had three. He was definitely going to learn that guy's na later so he could brag about him to the others.
Turning around, Lake walked into the lab to see Lucas standing next to a table filled with what seed to be Alchemy equipnt, lots of bottles and cups filled with powders and liquids. "That was quite fast. I was expecting it to take you a few more minutes to get here. Alright co over here so I can see if you know anything or if I need to start at the beginning."
