“Hmm!”
With a muffled groan, Hong Chen opened his eyes.
What greeted his eyes was a dim room.
“Boom!”
A thunderclap struck outside.
The light it brought illuminated the room through the broken window.
“Your Highness, you’re awake? How do you feel now?”
A female voice came from beside him, and Hong Chen felt himself being helped up.
Only then did he realize that his entire body was weak and aching, as if it had fallen apart.
Hong Chen looked at the woman who was helping him up.
In the dim room, he couldn’t make out her face, only that it was covered in a lot of dirt.
So hard.
He then saw that the woman was wearing a somewhat damaged armor.
“Aliris,” Hong Chen blurted out.
“Your Highness, I’m here,” Aliris’s voice was soft, but he could still hear the hoarseness in it.
How do I know her name? Hong Chen couldn’t help but wonder.
As this question arose, the identity of the person in front of him automatically appeared in his mind.
Yes, Aliris, the Guardian Knight arranged by his Mother.
Mother? Where did I get a mother? Don’t I not have a mother?
The memories in his mind began to become chaotic, and various pieces of information started to intertwine and shuttle.
It turned out to be the mother of this body, but according to his memories, she should be gone too.
“Your Highness, are you alright?”
Listening to Aliris’s worried words, Hong Chen, whose mind was much clearer, looked at her and nodded.
“I’m fine.”
He had transmigrated, transmigrated into a game he played.
His current name was Cana Safro Sater.
This name sounds so familiar, where have I heard it? I heard it in my past life’s memories.
Right, I remember now, isn’t this Clown Bro?
I’m actually the Clown Emperor!
Karna was completely shocked; this was an NPC character from the game he played.
Players affectionately called him Clown Prince, or Clown Emperor.
Why such a title? Naturally, it’s because this NPC had many clownish actions in the game, and just happened to be a prince of a fallen kingdom.
To restore his country, he often performed outrageous actions, and was the designated boss for the April Fool’s event dungeon.
The official team was having fun.
Now was not the time to think about these things. Hong Chen, or rather Karna, shook his head and looked around.
The surrounding environment all indicated to him that the place he was currently in was not safe.
The damp air carried a musty smell, and also a scent of blood. The dry, rusty taste in his mouth also indicated that his condition was not good.
Amidst the rumbles of thunder, it was also pouring rain outside.
“The useless prince is awake, damn it, we’re really going to be killed by this bastard.”
A vulgar and hoarse voice came from not far away.
Karna turned his head and saw three people dressed as Soldiers sitting around the stairs of the house.
The one speaking was one of them.
“How dare you! You dare to disrespect His Highness!”
“Tsk, still think you’re a noble Prince? This country is finished! Do you understand? It’s all because of you damn nobles!”
Another Soldier shouted towards their direction.
“Shut up!” A lowered voice immediately reprimanded.
This was the last Soldier who hadn’t spoken, and as his words fell, the room became quiet.
“Shut your mouth, where do you think we are now? Don’t you want to live?”
He spoke in a low voice, then turned his head and cautiously peered towards the window.
As he gradually regained control of his body, Karna could already faintly hear the inappropriate sharp screeches coming from amidst the rain.
From time to time, screams also came from the rainy night.
We are still in the midst of escaping.
Recent memories began to resurface in his mind.
As a Prince of a country, though only the Fourth Prince. And this country, as the Soldier just said, had already been destroyed.
He quickly connected to the corresponding region and faction through his understanding of the game’s background from his previous life.
Safro — The Land of Freedom.
At the beginning of the game, this country was already destroyed, or rather, the plot began shortly after this country’s destruction.
A new race was born in this country, the Blood Race, designed in comparison to vampires.
Due to the world’s style, although this Blood Race was designed to resemble vampires, they were much more disgusting than vampires.
While called an intelligent race, classifying them as monsters was entirely accurate.
In fact, it was even more fitting.
Karna’s mind began to race, quickly comparing and thinking about his past life’s memories and the memories of this body.
I haven’t turned into a vampire yet, and my Guardian Knight Aliris hasn’t turned into a vampire either.
Then this must be shortly after the Blood Disaster began, the country has already been overthrown, and we are in the midst of fleeing.
According to his memories, they should have already left the capital, which should now be the Blood Race’s stronghold.
“Where are we now, Aliris?” Karna asked.
“A village outside Giant Rock City, I apologize, Your Highness, I do not know the name of this village,” Aliris’s voice was somewhat puzzled, but she still answered loyally.
“Has our Prince finally broken his head?” The Soldier not far away said sarcastically.
“Shut up, Matt, save your strength.”
That Soldier Captain once again stopped his subordinate’s sarcasm.
Looking in Karna’s direction, he replied in a low voice: “Rubble Village, that’s the name of this village.”
He knew Giant Rock City, but Rubble Village… he hadn’t heard of that area name.
But since they had already reached Giant Rock City, it was basically certain that this village was where he was originally captured in the game’s plot.
As a gamer, when playing the game called “creation stone,” he had played the Clown Emperor’s personal storyline.
In his memories, he saw how he, a noble Prince, fell overnight into a stateless person.
And how he was caught in the middle of his escape, dragged back to the capital, which had been transformed into the Blood Race’s stronghold, and became one of the Blood Race.
When he was caught during his escape, it was outside Giant Rock City, so this should be the place.
Should he give up and be directly transformed into a Blood Race member?
This option was immediately rejected the first time it came to his mind.
No, absolutely not.
The current Blood Race are pure monsters; if it were the pure-blooded Blood Race from later versions, it would be different.
He had to find a way to leave here. The memories of this body had already aligned with his past gaming experiences.
Without a doubt, this was “creation stone,” the game he had played.
If he really transmigrated into this world, with his understanding of the later plot developments, as a pro gamer and a plot enthusiast, as long as the plot didn’t undergo drastic changes, he should be able to achieve something, however small, in this world.
Becoming a Blood Race member was out of the question; it was simply too inhumane.
Having determined the current situation and set his goal, Karna endured the aches all over his body and managed to sit up.
Aliris, who was supporting him, also carefully watched over him.
“Those monsters are coming, hurry up, Captain, we won’t have a chance if we don’t leave now.”
Some howling sounds were getting closer and closer, and the heavy rain and thunder were almost unable to cover them.
That Soldier Captain looked at Karna and Aliris.
Another Soldier next to him also said: “Don’t think about it, Captain, let’s go, we definitely won’t escape with the two of them.”
Aliris immediately pleaded mournfully: “No, Your Highness can still move, please take him with you.”
Only then did Karna see that Aliris’s left leg had an irregular bend.
In the midst of an escape, this was too fatal.
“We won’t take a screaming good-for-nothing; that will only get us killed faster.
Our brothers have already died for this good-for-nothing. Not killing him here is already proof of our loyalty.”
Saying that, he couldn’t help but tug at his Captain again.
“Let’s go, don’t look anymore, they’re beyond saving, and this country is beyond saving.
We’ll escape to Koen, and at worst, we’ll become mercenaries.”
The Soldier who had been scouting just now also couldn’t help but come over and persuade: “Yes, Captain, let’s go, or we’ll all die.”
This Captain seemed to have made up his mind: “I’m sorry.”
After speaking, he and the two Soldiers walked downstairs.
“No, at least take His Highness.”
“Alright, stop talking.”
Karna covered Aliris’s mouth and cautiously went to the window to look out.
