Author's Reincarnation in a Fantasy Setting



An uneasy feeling rose in Ryfin's stomach as he watched the gruesome sight unfold before him. Since he was up in the air, his field of vision was expanded—to put it simply, he was witnessing even more deaths. 

[Ryfin, don't look. Your job there is done, come back as soon as possible.]

A voice resonated in his head. It was Auciel's voice which she was transmitting to him through a spell, and at the same time, another spell was being used which made Auciel able to see everything around Ryfin.

[Don't look, it won't do any good…]

There was pain visible in her voice. After all, she was also watching all this unfold along with Ryfin. 

"I know…" Ryfin replied. 

She was right. Even if he saved these people from the beasts, they would be attacked by another horde right after since the portals were still open. 

The only way to stop this calamity was if they knew how to close the portals that connected the two worlds, and that they didn't. Ultimately there was no saving these people, all Ryfin could do was delay their death. 

And looking at it from a logical point of view, doing that would just mean a waste of time and energy. Ryfin knew this all, he knew it but still, seeing this sight made him question his decision. 

[Ryfin, we need you here.]

He sighed and closed his eyes. "How many times should I say that I know it damn it! I know okay?! I know everything that is going on in your mind and everything that you want to say! 

"I know it all, that's why I won't save these people and come to the place where I can sit safe while knowing that there are people out there dying every minute! I know it!" 

His words were harsh but true. 

"How are we any different from these beasts…" Ryfin mumbled to himself. His voice was very low, Auciel probably didn't hear that. Maybe she did, but either way, he didn't care.

It was a big and spacious hall. The walls, ceiling, and floor were all plated with metal. There were huge magic lights attached to the walls and the ceiling, illuminating the entire hall without any problem.

And just like the basement in the academy, there was an enormous magic circle engraved on the metallic floor.I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm

This hall had been mostly empty only a few moments ago, but now it was filled with students wearing the uniform of the Zaforths Magic Academy. 

All of them had been teleported here via a transportation magic circle and Ryfin's magic. This was the safe zone everyone was talking about, or rather, this hall was built inside the safe zone. 

That meant the students were out of danger, since according to the teachers right now they were far away from the reach of the demon beasts. 

Despite this knowledge, it was of little help as the students remained in a state of confusion and fear. They were nervous and didn't have a single clue about what was going on. 

The academy had expected this, it was a no-brainer after all. Therefore minutes after the students were teleported into the hall, the staff members and teachers also came out in the hall and started to calm down the students. 

However, it appeared that the teachers were unable to provide much assistance as the outbreak of panic was overwhelming. Then a loud voice resounded throughout the hall. 

"Be Calm students! I know that right now you are scared, confused, and frustrated. Not knowing what's going on when you just saw people dying around you is hard. But at this moment, I want you all to try and look at the situation you are in, and think what would be the best thing for you to do."

The voice was of Mr. Halls. As the students tried to look for the source of the voice, they saw a metallic platform descending from one of the walls. 

It seemed like it was moving not with magic but with the help of mechanical components—more advanced than anything the students had seen before. 

The platform stopped at a certain height, and Mr. Halls took a step forward toward the microphone in front of him. 

"May I have your attention please?" he said, and his voice was louder than usual. It reached all the students and for the moment they stopped whatever they were doing and looked in his direction. 

"Thank you. Now, I'm sure all of you are abruptly confused and scared due to all the things that keep happening one after another, and we are aware of that. That is why I'm going to explain to you all about the condition that our world is going through right now, and very likely be in the same state for the next couple of years, or maybe decades or centuries…"

After that, he continued and began to explain everything from the portals that connected the two worlds to how the demons had invaded and the safe zone they were in. 

"That is all," he said once he was done explaining. "We know that the current situation is no less than hell itself, and it may take a while for you to digest that fact. But it is what is. This world is our reality now. We will have to fight against these monsters to survive, and eventually, we will have to fight to take back our world.

"Since as of now, we are forced to hide in this city of Havenreach—humanity's last line of defense also known as the safe zone. But rest assured, this city is protected by a multilayered magic barrier that is made especially for the purpose of keeping the demons out, and along with that this city has many more defenses and weapons in case of an invasion. 

"You all can rest assured, for now," with that Mr. Halls finished. The platform went up again, a gate opened in the wall and he went inside.
