Chronicles of Forgotten Extra - Chapter 53

Chapter 53: Exploring The City (1) Chapter 53: Exploring The City (1) I woke up from my deep slumber.

Just kidding -it was anything but deep, thanks to my ManaSync, which was ringing constant notifications all night.

Only after I put it on silent did I finally get some peace.

But by then, the damage was already done.

It was Aziel…

all the notifications were from him after all, nobody else had my contact information except Alice and him.

Yawning, I reached for the ManaSync on my bedside table.

[100+ Unread Messages] “That bothersome piece of sh*t.” ‘How many messages did he send?’ I scrolled through the messages on my device.

Memes.

Just endless memes.

Most of them were useless memes, which I didn’t even read properly and skimmed through.

Well… who am I kidding?

I read them.

And, unfortunately, they were actually funny.

Not that I’d ever admit that to him.

Still, I left them on read, refusing to give him the satisfaction of a reply.

Feeling too lazy to get up.

So I did what any normal person would do.

I spent some time scrolling through social media.

Yes, Eryndor had social media.

They had different names, but they were similar to their counterparts on Earth.

I hadn’t even made an account on any of them until yesterday, but here I was, already wasting time on it.

I opened one of the most famous social media apps.

It was fairly simple to use, as people could share their photos, videos, and personal drama for the world to see.

‘No matter which world we go in, people are the same.’ I had just recently opened the account, so I had no followers on it.

I had put a random cat photo as my profile picture, and I wasn’t even following anyone either.

I had even put a random username on it.

I didn’t want to use my real name, as that would only gain unnecessary attention.

I had tried searching for Nyx Ravenscar on it, but there was no account with that name on this app.

Then I tried to search for Amyra’s account.

She also did not have any personal account either.

But there were lots of fan pages dedicated to her.

There were many of her pictures there.

All of them are high-quality ones, showing her ethereal beauty.

But now that I had seen her in person, I feel the pictures didn’t do justice to her looks.

It wasn’t like I hadn’t seen her before…I had seen her photo in many news articles I read before I came to the academy.

But seeing her in reality…it was different.

I don’t know why, but yesterday when I saw her for the first time, I felt some unknown emotions in me.

They were too overwhelming.

But my mind is clear now.

Was it some kind of charm ability?

Or did she possess a hidden power that influenced people?

But nothing like that was mentioned in the novel.

I knew one thing: the attraction I felt yesterday was not normal.

That feeling had been entirely different.

Those emotions I felt didn’t feel fake.

It felt as if those emotions came from somewhere deep within me…like from my soul.

And yet as I look at her photo now, I don’t feel anything unusual.

She was beautiful, sure, but there was no overwhelming pull.

Then what the hell happened yesterday?

My mind was consumed by the thoughts, but I quickly pulled myself out of them.

I don’t know if she has some ability like that or not….

I just have to be careful of her either way.

After snapping out of my thoughts, I put my ManaSync back as I picked up another object placed on the table.

It was a small round orb of bluish-white colour.

It hummed with mystical energy.

The Spirit Pearl.

It was the same as always without any reaction.

I had been diligently channelling my mana in it daily, but it didn’t change even a bit.

Although there were no physical changes to it today either, I could feel a connection established with it as I channelled my mana each day.

I quickly channelled my mana in it…as it had become a daily schedule for me to do it after waking up.

The pearl shone as it absorbed my mana greedily.

Only after nearly emptying my mana did it stop.

‘It’s absorbing more and more mana as days pass.’ I thought as I kept it back on the table and entered the shower to take a bath.

I used to like warm water in my previous life, but ever since I came to this world, I have come to like taking cold showers.

The droplets of cold water hit my skin, washing away all my fatigue and laziness.

I got out of the shower after feeling refreshed as I got dressed.

I was going to explore Astria City today.

I had read so much about the city in the novel that I felt excited to explore it in real life.

I picked up ManaSync and Spirit pearls from my table as I put them in my pocket.

I quietly walked through the hotel lobby.

Not many people were present, and those who were present were also busy chatting with their friends.

I swiftly moved through the lobby, trying to avoid unnecessary attention as I made my way to the exit.

But just as I was about to exit and make my way towards the main city, I heard a voice from behind me.

“Hey Alden, you’re finally here, huh?” I froze as I already recognised the annoying voice.

I slowly turned around to look as I saw Aziel casually leaning on one of the walls, his face plastered with his stupid grin.

“I have been waiting for the last half hour.” He said, crossing his arms, “At least check your message, man.” “I was just about to come to your room.” He continued with smug face.

‘F*ck, what’s he doing here?’ I cursed.

I quickly pulled out my ManaSync, scrolling through all unread messages, trying to find what he was talking about.

[Yo Alden I am waiting for you near the exit.

Let’s explore the city together.

] It seems the message had arrived while I was taking a shower.

If I had known he was waiting, I wouldn’t have come at all.

I wanted to curse my bad luck.

I had wanted a quiet exploration of the city.

Without any annoyance.

But now?

That option was gone.
