118 Chapter 118 - Long Forgotten (2/2)
The titles themselves were bland with words like Fire, Earth, and Water being on their covers but Gren couldn't help himself from being intrigued.Opening up the nearest book revealed that even the contents were an anomaly in this world.English.It had been a while since he saw them but the familiar Roman characters making up the words he was reading was a welcome sight.It was difficult for Gren since he was someone that had reincarnated; after a while he started to question whether or not those memories that he had were fake but this was evidence that he wasn't just insane.However, this did raise a very important question.
{Where did these books come from?}
<Master's pocket dimension>
That much was obvious.{How did these books get into my pocket dimension?}
<The books were there from the beginning>
From the beginning of what?{Can you elaborate on that?}
<The books were in the ring's pocket dimension when it was absorbed>
”Ah.”Gren realized something very important.Although he had intended to look at the original content that was within the ring, he never did get around to it.His life became too busy after that and he eventually just forgot about it.
{Was this all that was in the ring when it was absorbed?}
<Negative>
{Can you show me what else was in the ring?}
Using the system's visualization feature, Gren was able to look at the items he specified.However, there wasn't much there to look at.A set of clothes, an envelope, some sort of stamp, and a crown.The crown didn't seem to be complete with there being a hole in the front; most likely for some jewel that he either didn't have or was lost in his growing mess of things in his pocket dimension.It wasn't really important since Gren didn't really care much about wearing things on his head, especially something that looked so uncomfortable.Even if he didn't have it, he could just make something to fit in that slot.
The clothes looked nice but seemed like they'd be difficult to put on with how many layers they had.There was even a cloak to go along with it but the colors were in a dark purple and black which didn't really fit Gren's tastes.It was likely that they had belonged to a king or some other male member of a royal or noble family since they matched the crown and would be a bit large even on Gren.The treasure that Gren found probably belonged to the same person that the clothes did and the statue of his mother suggested that they were a worshiper of hers.He was just speculating but he couldn't think of any other possibilities that would be as likely.
The stamp was a solid piece of metal with a large crystal in the shape of an eye embedded in the center.At first, Gren actually thought it was an eyeball with the pattern on the crystal itself but that's probably what the creator was aiming for.On the bottom was a bunch of symbols that Gren didn't recognize but the design itself would make it a good decoration to go on a desk if he ever got himself a proper study.
The envelope was saved for last for a very good reason.Just like the books, it had English writing on it.There were only three words on the envelope but they made it hard to open it.”To my son.That's not talking about me, is it?”
