The path inside the cave is still accessible into the deeper part of the cave, although the width is narrower, and side by side with the abyss. I still can walk further into the deeper part of the cave with careful stepping or return to the entrance which I came from to see if the rain already stopping.When I"m thinking about whether to continue my exploration of this cave or return, suddenly I feel the ground under my feet shaking. First, it"s only like a soft shiver but its intensity increased in incredible speed that makes my body shaking heavily.
"Oh no! Earthquake! This is bad, very bad!"
I discarded the torch in my hand, and use both hands to find something to grab. Sadly, the stone at the cave wall which I hold to make my footing steady, suddenly loose from its place. Without any grip and added with heavy vibration, I was pushed back toward the abyss. Without anything that stops me from step into the abyss, I can feel my legs suddenly step on nothing. In the darkness, without anything to hold, I can feel my body falls to the bottom. I close my eyes and rest my body and mind to darkness. There"s nothing else I can do at this situation. I just pray to G.o.d that my family will not too sad about my disappearance.
Time like flies slowly. I"m no longer feeling anything. Am I already dead? But why I still can hear voices?
Is this falling into the abyss is just a nightmare? Oh, I really wish is all just a nightmare and when I wake up and open my eyes, I still can see my mother, my father, and my sister"s faces. Slowly, I opened my eyes. After I scrutinize the place, I immediately know this room where I"m lying around isn"t my room at home. I see some women in maid dress standing near my bed, and when one of them sees I opened my eyes, she shouting in joyful voices.
"Sire, young master has awakened!"
When hearing the maid shouting, a man with age around forties, raise from his seat in the crouch near the bed and approaching me.
"Henry, are you really waked up? Thank G.o.d! I"m dead worried if something bad happens to you"
Huh? Did he call me Henry? I haven"t had time to think when suddenly a flood of information entering my brain likes a broken dam. So I just stare at the man blankly unable to utter any words.
Seeing me not responding to his words, the man ordering an old man that also standing in the room to check me out
"Doctor Howard, why he didn"t say anything? Is there something happen with his body? Please check him immediately"
The old man approaching me and grab my hand to check my pulse. He also looks into my eyes and rubs my head while I"m still in stunned condition because of the information floods.
"Your Highness, young master is physically normal except for the wounds in the head. Maybe the impact from the collision is still affecting the young master"s mind. With that thing in your highness possession, maybe your highness can get a better valuation about young master"s condition".
"Ah, you"re right. I should use that to see what happen to my son"
Then the man pulls something from his pocket and shows it to me while saying "status". The thing in his hand actually a stone with white milk color. It glows for a second and the man nodded with satisfaction.
"I see. So it"s like that. No wonder he looks like in dazed state. Alright doctor, keeps attention to my son, if anything bad happens or his condition worsened, inform me immediately"
After giving this order, the man leaving the room and left me, the old man and some maids stay in the room.
Even though I see it with my own eyes, I still can"t mutter any words. If I"m not in this state probably I already ask many questions about it. This information flood still happens for another 5 minutes before it recedes and leaving me with abundant new information in my head. Since the after effect of this information flood is dizziness, I decide to close my eyes and digest this new information slowly.
When the old doctor grabs my hand to check the pulse, I can see the hand is different with my hands before. It has white skin like Caucasian people usually have. And the man that the old doctor seems respected so much calls me Henry and his son. Am I transported or reincarnated into another person body like what I"ve read in the light novel? It seems that the most appropriate reason why I"m here now.
