AN: Maybe some of you already aware of it or doesn't care about it... so regarding about my 1st PoV style... I'm aware that my writing isn't perfect.. especially when describing the situation whenever the characters was in danger, idling, their inner thought or showed any emotions and other
i.e: "It was frightening. I could heard my heartbeat at rapid rate, a sweat that was falling from my body....blablabla..." (I might also describe detailed place where character is)
After that I didn't completely describe the next situation properly.
i.e:" After a few minutes I calmed down." just that.
If I do the correct way maybe like this.
i.e:"Time passed, my heartbeat was beating at normal pace. I no longer feel the fear that haunt me before, sweat stop dropping from my body. I was relieved.... and so on." Then I describe the situation they face next but I didn't do that.
I apologized in advance... as you know I do it for fun... as the chapter passed you may or may not be see the improvements...
Anyways here's the chapter. Sincerely Author.

(1st PoV Reo)-----
Hearing her word, I became silence. She waited patiently while staring at my eyes, there I could see my reflection.
'From her gesture... maybe she could be trusted... if I'm wrong... so be it...'
"Fine..." I said. In my tone there's no trace of any emotions. Not even happiness, it's looks like as if it was just trivial matter for me.
'Too aware about 'it' is really troublesome... I better not touch that topic yet....' I sighed, meanwhile Lize just retracted her hand.
"Thanks you.." she mumbled softly. It seem she don't mind about my attitude. Without wasting any time I get up from the ground.
"Let's go..." I said to her, she immediately nodded and get up. We walk side by side toward the city.
'Will I be able to reach it... No... That was silly question... Since the First until the Third was broken...I should rephrase it and become... How far 'it' will go...' I could feel a small smile forming on my face as I think about that.
'Well that was for another day... first let's broke the Fourth....' with that in my mind, I focused my current goal.
---------------------
"Halt!" I unconscious clicked my tongue, one of troublesome line on my list was being said. both of us stopped.
I look around, but seeing nothing. Then I look up to the top of the polished gray wall, there several humanoid figure could be seen.
After that they disappeared. I waited patiently in front of the gate.
'I'll just do that...' I became disinterested with that in my mind.
"Lize... Hide yourself..." I mumbled. Lize then immediately nodded, without saying a single word I could feel her presence disappeared in instant, moreover I could feel all the trace of her literally disappeared as if she didn't exist. Then I use my void to scan around.
I could faintly sense her standing still beside me yet her trace, smell and her previous spatial location seems gone in that moment as if she was didn't exist. She seem smiled in that moment.
'That would useful... later on...' disappearing without leaving any trace while erasing the trace in the past.
"That was convenient... Taught me later..." I said.
"I will..." A low gentle voice then appeared out of nowhere.
'All the piece was already in set, now which one the 'opponent' played first.' After a few second, I heard a footstep. Not long after that I could see three figures.
One girl and two man, they all wearing plate armor, I could see each one of them have a sword with their sheath hanging around their waist.
The girl has a short blonde hair, a pair of blue eyes, fair skin and it seem she has a slender body by looking at her waist, if she was in earth, she could be considered as a top beauty.
I kept my calm face as she was walking closer to me with two man behind her. One of them have a messy hair, meanwhile the other one in the left has a a short curly hair, they have a tanned skin, I could also see a visible muscle on their body. Even thought all of them seem tired but they still able keep their serious face.
'As expected for a knight...'
"Who are you!? Speak!" She said with a high tone. I put a confused face even thought I understand their language because of a certain girl in the forest. Then I speak with English language toward them.
"What are you saying?" I said while tilted my head. Seeing my reaction and my language, they look each other before nodding in understanding. The girl then extended both of her arm in front of her then closed her eyes.
"[Transtl]" A magic circle appeared on her palm facing toward me, I feel something is being planted inside my mind.
'Void didn't stop it... So I'll assume it's safe' I keep silence while taking a step back while narrowing my eyes. The girl then began to opened her eyes while retracted her arms.
'As much as I want a mayhem route.. but there's too many unknown variable.. just like a higher being who stalk me before...' and relying on her(Lize) wouldn't help, I need an experience not a tutorial mode, I'm not in rush anyways.
"Who are you?" The girl said again. This time his tone was lowered, I could hear her clearly like an English language.
'Translator huh... neat..'
"Reo Sinclair..." I said, I began to think why I do this. I probably could just released my limit knowing Lize was part of the Void, but.
'Experience and imagination was different.... Moreover...' so I'll just enjoy it. They looking each other for a moment.
'This might be interesting...' after they came into some sort of agreement, the girl then began to opened her mouth again.
"Where you from?" Hearing her question I pointed my finger to the Forest behind me.
"I woke up in that Strange Forest... Found a road and ended up here..." I said. She seem nodded in understanding. One of the man behind her then began to whispering something, she then began to pondering while grabbing her chin.
'They don't think it's weird.. so that mean-' my thought was being cut as I see her opened her mouth.
"So.. Outlander again...." Outlander, it seem the information I get from her wasn't enough. Is she a typical of hermit or this information is just classified.
'Again huh... it seem this kind of thing was pretty normal..'
"But.. You seem pretty calm.." She said. Then I feel something scanned me, I doubt they could find a trace of Void.
"Does crying look like problem solving for you? I simply accept it..." I asked her. She smiled and began to opened her mouth.
"Fair enough... you pass.. and welcome to Edgra... Outlander.. lastly just don't cause a commotion..." she said as she handed me 4 silver coin with a paper on it. Then they head back without saying any word.
'Straight to the point.. Conflict avoided...' I began to opened the paper, it showed me a map. The center was market district, at North there's a library adventure guild and a church?. I became absent minded for a moment while looking at the sky.
'Ah... I forget about them...' I shook my head and started to look at the paper again. it seem the West was noble residence, at that place seem also where the government of the city live. I sighed.
'I better avoid that place...' then I began look at the East, normal residence and inn, in the South was military district and that place was literally in front of the gate.
'Concetrating at one point huh..'
There should be an underground passage, why there's only one gate to go in and out anyways. If not the one who design the city must be dumb, how are you going to escape with this tall wall in a dire situation.
"Whatever.. let's just go find an inn.. then go to the library.. By the way Lize..." I mumbled.
"Yes?" her gentle voice appeared.
"Being like you could read mind right?" I asked her.
"Why did you ask? Don't worry I know a thing called privacy... beside just stay with you is enough..."
'she's smart..' not annoying and not unreasonable, a suitable partner.
"Congratulations you just gained my trust..." I said with a small smile appeared on my face.
'Even thought it just a small part of it..'
She became silence and not answering me, I just shook my head as I throw the maps to the side because I already memorize every content on it.
Without any hesitation, I began to entering the city step by step.
