Chapter 233 Chapter 233 - Parkour, Key?
'Why do I keep going forward?' thought Aiden as he could feel tears falling down his eyes onto his clothes.
'Why am I doing all of this... Was it strength?' thought Aiden, as he could feel pats from Isolde.
It seemed that Isolde was trying her hardest to comfort him, but it would all depend on Aiden. It's not like she could guess what was happening to him right now because just like he had said, she didn't know anything about him except his first name.
'No, wait it wasn't strength. Wait, when did I become obsessed with strength?' thought Aiden, not sure why he had become so obsessed with getting stronger.
It seemed that he was extremely confused at the moment, not remembering what had happened.
After all, so much had passed, that it was impossible to remember everything.
Then, as he tried his hardest to remember what had happened to him considering this interest in strength, he remembered when he had first arrived in this new world.
He remembered when he had gotten the memories of the old Aiden.
He remembered the faces of all those strong people, he remembered what they all had in common, they all looked free.
'Free... That's right, that's what I wanted to achieve when arriving in this world,' thought Aiden, still hugging Isolde as hard as he could.
He didn't know why he hadn't let go yet, but it just felt good to be hugged at the moment and he didn't want to let go for nothing in the world.
It was the first time in his life where someone was trying to comfort him and it was honestly quite a weird feeling.
However, it wasn't a feeling that he hated, in fact, it was the complete opposite.
'But, how can someone be free?' thought Aiden.
'Strength, it always comes back to that, strength. Why can't I simply live my life without anyone trying to do anything to me?' thought Aiden.
He knew that the reason why he was in so much trouble in his new life was honestly quite simple, it was because of his background.
If he hadn't been part of that fucking Nightshade Family then everything would have been much simpler.
He wouldn't have to hide his face or his identity, he would be able to get so many benefits since he would be a lot more popular and a lot more outgoing.
So, why had he reincarnated in this new body?
Couldn't he have just died?
Wouldn't that have been simply better for him?
'If I had died, then at least I would've been at peace,' thought Aiden, unsure if living this second life had been a good thing.
If he had died then he wouldn't have to do all those things to simply survive or keep himself outside of danger, he would simply be dead without a single thought inside his mind.
However, thinking about what could have possibly happened wasn't what Aiden wanted as he dismissed those thoughts, slowly lifting his face from Isolde's shoulder or chest, to be honest, Aiden didn't even care where he had put his head.
The only thing that he was able to muster was honestly quite simple, it was two words.
"Thank you."
Isolde hearing this was quite confused as she wasn't sure what had happened, but hearing the tone that Aiden was now using, she could confidently say that Aiden was back to normal.
However, she was still completely ignorant of this whole matter.
'Why did he break down like that over a stupid challenge?' thought Isolde as this was basically the only thing that she could be thinking of at the moment.
She remembered the scene that he had made when failing to do a weapon's aura, so it was only logical for her to think that the reason he had just cried was because of the trial, but she couldn't be further from the truth.
Realizing that she hadn't said anything back, she quickly opened her mouth.
"It was no problem really," uttered Isolde back as she didn't know what she needed to say.
However, those words didn't even reach Aiden as he was thinking about something else completely entirely.
'Let's figure out everything after I finish those five challenges,' thought Aiden, knowing that he clearly wasn't in a great state of mind.
However, he also knew that it wasn't the time to be fixing this whole thing, first, he would go meet Melinda and get those fucking answers.
But, there would be one important change this time when meeting her again, Aiden wouldn't take no for an answer.
This time Melinda would have to answer him, she wouldn't give her any other option.
As long as he got those answers he would be ready for everything, even dying.
Then, as he opened his eyes once again after crying his heart out, it seemed that something had changed as he could see some bits of white light.
It wasn't completely black like before, it seemed that Aiden was able to glance at some bits of light which was really a good sign since it meant that he was close to gaining his sight back.
He was literally on the cusp of getting it back.
'Think Aiden, think, what can I do?' said Aiden to himself, unsure of what he could pull off.
'The key to gaining my eyesight isn't my eyes,' repeated Aiden to himself as his mind was in complete turmoil, thinking of every imaginable solution that could potentially exist.
Then, based on that hint, he started thinking of many things which could help him.
After a couple of minutes of deep thinking, it seemed that he had gotten an idea, as he started getting in that focused state just like earlier, however, he had an idea this time.
He wouldn't simply concentrate on his body and that stuff, he would push it one step further.
He would try reaching that parkour that way, the more he thought about it. Aiden realized that there must have been a reason for that parkour to exist or else it would simply be useless and the challenge would have simply been to gain his eyesight back.
