Lucen’s group had created many cards now, but it was not enough to sell them. He needed a few more cards, and once that was done, he would do it like in his old world, selling them in packets and placing rare cards to make people buy more.
Lucen wanted to sell the cards in tandem with when he creates a show that goes with it, using the video orb. He was going to introduce sothing that would change entertainnt in this fantasy world.
’Heh, to think I’ll be able to introduce TV shows and movies into a world of sword and magic. Not only did I change this kingdom into sothing heading towards steampunk, but I also made it more entertaining. Once people start creating their own shows, I’ll be able to watch new stuff.’
As Lucen thought of that, a strange smile slowly appeared on his face. He was getting excited again.
Not only is the creation of more entertainnt great for him, but it might also inspire people to create their own things.
’I’m getting too excited, I guess, because tomorrow is the start of the school term. Teaching Alexander and the others how to use guns will be quite an interesting sight. I wonder if my old gar buddies would be jealous of seeing this new route in person and introducing guns in this world...’
The second Lucen thought about that, he felt a tinge of sorrow. It had been quite a long ti since he thought about the people in his old world.
In fact, now that he thought about it, why did he stop to think about his parents in his past life? He could not rember their faces or their nas.
He could easily drink that mory potion again to rember, but for so reason, he hesitated.
Deep down, he understood that the mory of those people who no longer exist in this new world of his would bring him pain.
It was not that he did not care. That was the very reason he hesitated.
If they truly ant nothing to him, then he would have already taken the potion without thinking too much about it.
He would have treated those mories like information. Like the rules of a ga. Like the story of Aerok. Like knowledge that could be used.
Unlike when trying to rember his death, which was unclear even with the mory potion, this was sothing he could most likely rember if he truly wanted to.
It could answer the questions of who his parents were, if he had siblings, and the nas of his friends whose faces and voices he could no longer rember, but the conversations and the feelings he had with them remained.
The excitent he was feeling before seed to have drowned out. Even though in this world he had parents, a sibling, and friends, it was different from before.
Not to ntion, in this world, he was not just a random nobody who was good in gas; he was an actual sobody. Yet for so reason, that did not make the ache disappear.
In his past life, he was ordinary. He did not have a noble title. He did not have soldiers who followed his orders.
He did not have craftsn waiting for his ideas, mages who listened to his theories, or a family na powerful enough to shake an entire kingdom.
He had been just one person among many. He had an ordinary life with parents and friends. Those friends of his who he joked with, who he played many gas with, who he watched ani with, and who went to conventions with.
Despite his mories being a blur, he could still picture the sights they had seen, in-ga and out.
He rembered sitting in front of a glowing screen, laughing at sothing stupid one of them had said.
He rembered crowded halls filled with people wearing costus of characters they loved.
He rembered cheap food eaten after long hours of walking, argunts about which character was stronger, and the strange happiness of finding soone who understood the sa ridiculous things he did.
He rembered the feeling. That was the worst part.
The faces were unclear. The nas were gone. Even their voices sounded distant, as if they were calling to him from beneath deep water. But the feelings remained.
Despite his enjoynt of being a part of the world and story of his favorite ga, every now and then, he would miss his past life. Especially as he was working to grow the entertainnt here to be able to see a similar sight,
He understood it, that he could no longer return to that room. He could not send a ssage to those friends. He could not tell those family mbers that he was continuing to be himself.
He could not ask whether they had mourned him. He did not even know if he wanted to know.
Lucen reached into the spatial pocket of his coat, and after searching for a few seconds, his fingers touched the small bottle containing the mory potion. He had prepared several bottles beforehand.
His alchemy skills had increased, and he could make his own batch. He did not take it out and instead just touched it for a bit before releasing it back into his pocket.
’... Yeah, what use is it to rember a past that I could no longer return to? I can use these mories to create new things, to help survive and advance, but I... mories should remain that way as mories...’
Lucen had reminisced a few tis before, and every ti he did so, he felt a bittersweet feeling.
’... I’d better stop thinking about this for now and focus on what’s about to happen tomorrow. The start of a new sester ans the prologue is already over and Chapter one is about to begin.’
Lucen slowly exhaled. Let’s reminisce so other ti; for now, focus on the things ahead. The first day of his being a special instructor was about to start. There was also the creation of the card ga, creating a show using a video orb, and showing it to everybody.
’I guess I will also need to create a place where you could watch the show from the video orb, like watching from a cinema. Still, it’s in 3-D, and it’s the area where it can show is large.’
Lucen placed one hand against his chin. A normal theater could work, but it would not fully use what the Video Orb could do.
The audience could not simply sit in front of a stage. They needed to sit around the recorded scene, or perhaps have the recording projected in the center of a hall.
That way, it would feel less like watching a play and more like stepping into another world. Yeah, and they would sit on a higher platform to see the entire video orb.
’But then that would cause a problem with the angles of how they watch. Watching a show from a bird’s eye view will not look that good. I guess I can limit it to a stage and block the light of the video orb with a glass wall. Yeah, like how they do it with VTuber 3-D lives. That way it’s like watching a movie, but in a better 3-D format.’
The more Lucen thought about it, the more ideas started appearing in his mind. Still, he stopped for now as he needed to get so sleep since tomorrow he needed to arrive at the Royal Academy early.
’Oh, right, better ask Robert if he will accompany to school, seeing as he’s also a new special instructor.’
Lucen stood up from his chair and headed to the workshop in the estate where Mireya and the others were playing with the new cards they had made.
The second Lucen stepped into the workshop, he drew the attention of everyone. "You ca back, Lucen. Are you going to play another round?"
"No, I just ca to ask Robert if he’s joining early in the morning to go to the Royal Academy."
When Lucen said those words, Mireya frowned, and Robert showed an expression that said he had forgotten about it.
"Wait, if you’re going to the Royal Academy, what about finishing the creation of our ga? We haven’t even discovered how to create illusion spells on the cards to make them seem real." Mireya said her lavender eyes stared straight at Lucen.
"Yes, she’s right, Lucen. Let us postpone going to school for now, and focus on finishing this project." Robert said while nodding his head.
"Sorry, but no. I already made a commitnt to be an instructor, so I’ll do it properly, and you should as well, Robert."
"But that’s so much less interesting than what we are doing here," Robert replied.
"Yes, you aren’t allowed to go until you finish creating this ga," Mireya spoke while hugging Lucen’s arm.
"I will continue to create this ga with you all, but the priority for now will be my job as a special instructor."
Mireya looked at him as if he had betrayed her. Robert looked as if he had just been told that experints were forbidden.
Lucen sighed as he shook his head. "Do not look at like that. The ga will still be here when we return."
"For now," Mireya said quietly.
Robert nodded. "The Academy has stolen valuable developnt ti."
Lucen couldn’t help but smile faintly as he looked at the two adults who acted like stubborn children.
