Obtaining 10x rewards! Reincarnated into a novel as a side-character! - Chapter 99

Meeting the main-protagonist for the first time!
Chapter 99

“Now, follow me. I will be leading you to the meeting spot.”

The trio followed behind the elder as he took some turns, and in a few minutes, they could finally see the place.

It was like the heart of this forest, a clearing surrounded by the towering trees whose intertwined branches formed a natural canopy above.

The air felt charged with an ancient energy, as if the forest itself was alive and watching them.

Ancient-looking stones carved with runes of unknown origin were placed strategically, forming a round table and chairs.

Further behind the table, they could also see moss-covered altars and statues, remnants of the past when this place was used frequently.

Oliver’s eyes were drawn towards the table and chairs. It was a gathering grove.

The soft glow of bioluminescent flora and the melodic chirping of unseen birds gave the atmosphere a touch of tranquility and peace.

His eyes wandered as he spotted others already seated around the table.

‘So we’re the last to arrive.’

He noticed the respective elders who had brought the heirs with them in the corner.

‘The meeting is not simple.’

He knew this beforehand. First of all, there was the main goal of the meeting, which was some joint training program.

It was said that due to the demons’ increasing activities, they wanted to quickly nurture the talents in the younger generation and produce more powerhouses for the future war.

They all knew that the war was going to happen sooner or later. There was no stopping it, and this war was going to be more violent than the previous one.

So they decided that it was best to prepare their talented youths faster.

But Oliver knew that for the meeting to happen so suddenly, the other clans must be curious about the void cloud phenomenon that happened some time ago.

The elder must have come here in order to make deals for information or clarify matters.

He glanced at Nadia from the corner of his eye as she was also looking at the other children with an emotionless gaze.

She walked up to the gathering grove as he followed behind her.

He could feel all the gazes on him and her.

“Hey?”

He waved at the other children since he didn’t know how to interact with them for the first time. They all had varying personalities.

He soon received a curt response.

First was a guy with short dark blue hair and blue eyes. He put a hand over his chest as he greeted back.

“Good morning, Sir Oliver. I am Alphonso Jadesins from the Fallen Heart Clan. You can call me Alphonso.”

His tone was polite, and his behavior was proper like a noble. He was taught well and had good etiquette, not to mention he was dressed in a formal suit for this meeting.

“Pleased to meet you. You can call me Oliver too!”

Oliver also told him. Since the other party was willing to have informal relations with him, who was he to reject?

He couldn’t help but compare this little gentleman to a thoughtful scholar.

He then heard another voice. This time it was a kid dressed in a simple shirt and pants, “I am from Sacred Swords Clan. You can call me Daniel.”

Oliver glanced at the boy and noticed his features.

His body was notably sleek. He had shoulder-length, wavy hair of black color. His droopy eyes were the color of golden jewels.

He nodded and also told him to be informal with him.

Afterwards, it was a girl with narrow eyes of olive green color. She had long ankle-length, apple-green hair, her physique was athletic, and she had a pouting mouth.

“I am Amber from the Blue Crown Clan,” she briefly said, somewhat coming off as aloof.

Oliver did not mind. He could understand that she might be awkward with others.

He gave her a reassuring smile, hoping to ease her discomfort.

And finally…

His gaze automatically went towards the last occupants.

What a coincidence it was that the other party was also twins.

His eyes focused sharply as he observed one of the two girls in front of him.

‘The protagonist has finally appeared…’

His heart pumped blood in excitement. He was finally meeting the main protagonist of this world!

He was face-to-face with her!

“Greetings! I am Bella, and here’s my little sister Evelyn! We’re from the Celestial Paradox Clan!”

The girl introduced herself and her little sister. She had platinum blonde hair falling to her shoulders like a cascading waterfall and a very confident aura.

The lady reminded him of the famous character he had read in the novel.

He knew her by her nickname from the novel.

The unstoppable machine!

She had slanted gray eyes that were like two silver coins. Her fine, wavy, alabaster hair was medium-length, and she wore a hairpin that was not actually a hairpin but a destructive artifact disguised as a hairpin.

She had a cream-colored healthy skin tone and a tall, athletic build. She was the tallest in the group of children too.

Of course, she was not the main protagonist.

Her little sister was.

Oliver was immediately drawn to her, considering her radiant appearance and features.

Her long golden locks cascaded down her back like streams of sunlight, each strand catching the light and radiating with a brilliance that seemed holy.

Her hair danced around her like a halo, framing her delicate features with an ethereal glow.

But…

It was her eyes…

It was her eyes that truly caught everyone’s attention. Her eyes were a shade of velvet, like the color of a deep, velvety rose in full bloom.

They were glowing with an inner light, a warm aura surrounding her.

It was as if her very soul radiated purity and strength

It was those same eyes that drew demons to her like moths to a flame only to perish.

Coupled with her golden hair, she truly had the main-protagonist aura to her.

An attractive appearance like any other protagonist.

She had a healthy, milky white skin tone and was dressed in a coat of midnight blue over a pristine white shirt. She looked like an aristocrat.

Despite her tender age, she had the air of an elegant lady.

A beacon of light in a world consumed by darkness…

‘Haha…’

Oliver could not help but feel extremely excited. No matter what, he was going to bond with her.

She was the main protagonist who had yet to achieve considerable strength. There was no way he was going to miss this opportunity.
