Novel Bin Chapter 89: Taking a Break
Chapter 89: Taking a Break
In this life, Kahn paid a lot of attention to his fitness because he had seen the effects of always being in motion and staying focused in his hunts. The effects made him realize how he had wasted previous life in being a couch potato and a lazy bum who never paid attention to his fitness and ate unhealthy food. Now he had come to despise his old self and also on the people who took their bodies for granted.
[[Author : Is this a personal attack or something?]]
"Sir, your breakfast is ready." said Jerome, the caretaker of the house.
Kahn noticed that in the past few days, Jerome and his chef had become incredibly approachable and also served him well.
Today.. Kahn absolutely had no plans on what to do. He could spend it on practicing his dark magic spells, his darkblade skill or even something else but he simply didn\'t want to.
Ever since he had come to this world, it was always one thing or another.. He had to prioritize hunting monsters, killing people as part of the contract then look for resources to increase his strength and wealth. But now, he had everything he needed.
He had made himself completely familiarized with this new world and had superficial knowledge about the things he hadn\'t seen before.
His strength was more than enough to make him one of the top 10 strongest people in the entire city of millions of residents, his reputation and name were fairly good and his connections with the top brass were also favorable.
As for the warning letter he chose to send the Magistrate last night.. It was to draw the line.
He had already seen it coming that the magistrate would try to persuade him one way or another and even try to blackmail him to work for their faction.
But he too had to assert his dominance with that warning letter. Otherwise, he\'d get tangled inside the web of unseen wars and betrayals of the power struggle. This wasn\'t something he wished to be part of for now, mainly because he had no sense of belonging to any place or even someone in this world.
He was simply a Lonewolf trying to get himself on top of the food chain so that nobody could trample upon him or he is forced to suffer through any form of injustice.
Kahn decided a long time ago that he won\'t be some Beta main character of some Novel or Manga who has to lower his head in front of the strong people and bide their time to grow in strength and wait for the day when they\'d exact vengeance on the oppressors.
No, he wanted to be the guy that no one would ever dare to mess with in the first place. So he won\'t have to go through the trouble of having cliche enemies & young masters of some powerful and reputed houses or organizations creating trouble for him like those Mangas where the same lame pattern of Protagonist being harassed and looked down on by everyone just because he comes from a poor background or currently is weak compared to others.
The story of the underdog rising in status and power only worked in fictional things. However, the reality functioned very differently and nothing like some plot of a book. You either live a life of the strong or you suffer as the weakling in a society.
Kahn had already been on the weak and pitiful side in the previous life so no way he was going to waste this another chance at life being the same type of person.
He wanted to be the Alpha, he wanted to be the Chad & The Final Stage Boss who can\'t be killed even with the power of Love & Friendship.
Back to the current moment.. Kahn finished his breakfast and thought of doing something useful and different.. But only then did a sudden realization hit him inside his mind that he truly hadn\'t experienced the culture of the people and this empire.
Since he always had to prioritize on getting strong.. He never had time to experience the difference between this world\'s culture and his previous one.
"That\'s it. I\'m going to take some time off. And enjoy what this place has to offer to me." spoke Kahn with resolution as he decide that it\'d be better to take a break than let a burnout ruin him later.
Kahn asked Jerome for the sightseeing spots in the city, the places that held historical importance and things that had people paid most importance to in the entire empire.
For the entire day, Kahn spent traveling and visiting these sites, memorial places, vast and beautiful sightseeing places and few museums that held the archives and heritage of the rich history and most noticeable changes that built the foundation of this empire.
Kahn also tried tasting various street foods and just shopping for stuff he found amusing for no reason whatsoever. Because he wasn\'t looking for something that he had needed.. But something that he hadn\'t experienced before.
At the end of the night.. Kahn sat below a giant tree and looked at the beautiful scenery of the nightlife under the bright moonlight that made the entire city appear very soothing to his mind and soul.
Compared to the scenery of the modern city full of skyrocketing buildings and bustling population under the moon on the night he committed suicide, the sight in front of him gave a sense of peace and calm.
For the first time in this new world.. Kahn felt the Slice of Life.
