Relapse of Middle School Syndrome

Aliciel wasn’t intentionally lying. She used to be a young master, and now she had been kicked out of her home. Compared to being a young lady, she preferred being a maid.

After Aliciel’s explanation, Ren Daozhen had a preliminary understanding of the world’s setting. Although there was more, to avoid being overwhelmed by a flood of information at once, Ciel shifted the topic back to Ren Daozhen.

“In this world, only the gods can break free from the shackles of the world’s laws and roam freely in the vast universe. It is said that after ascending, the gods go to a higher plane beyond the universe.”

“If you are fortunate enough to gain a god’s appreciation and blessing, you might have a chance to return to your own world.”

“Then how can I obtain a god’s blessing?”

“Hmm… The simplest and most direct way is to become strong enough and make a certain contribution to the church. Then you might receive a god’s blessing.”

“Ah, so I have to work…”

Ren Daozhen showed a thoughtful expression. To be honest, he still couldn’t trust the churches and gods of this world. After all, in many animes and games, the church usually played the role of the villain, and the gods often became stepping stones for the protagonist.

However, Aliciel’s words did enlighten Ren Daozhen. Why did he have to pin his hopes on outsiders? Couldn’t he rely on himself?

He had already transmigrated to another world. He definitely had to try cultivating magic and martial arts, constantly getting stronger, defeating one enemy after another, and finally standing at the pinnacle of the world. To live a mediocre life, just getting by, would be a waste of his identity as a transmigrator.

He had been slacking off for too long on Earth. Now that he was in this other world, he couldn’t repeat his past mistakes.

A raging fire ignited in Ren Daozhen’s heart. The passion that had long been dormant was rekindled, and a proud smile appeared on his face.

“I’ve decided, I want to become stronger, I want to become an adventurer!”

He would experience a thrilling and exciting adventurous life while searching for a way back to his hometown, showing the passion that a transmigrator should have, and carving out a new life for himself.

“An adventurer? Alright, tomorrow, I will take you to the Adventurers’ Guild to test your talents. If you really have any outstanding talents, you might be able to make a name for yourself in this world.”

“Oh ho ho ho… I can’t wait, an adventurer… an adventurer…”

After struggling in this other world for several days and being bullied, he had already bottled up a lot of grievances. Now that his hard times were finally coming to an end, Ren Daozhen was naturally in a good mood. He couldn’t help but hum a song, and his steps became much livelier.

“Alright, that’s all for today. You can go back now. Rest well and be full of energy. Come and find me tomorrow evening. I still have to work at the café during the day.”

“Okay, I wish the Head Maid a good night’s sleep. See you tomorrow.”

Putting the Star Card in his pocket, Ren Daozhen waved goodbye to Aliciel.

After he left, Aliciel also put away all the design sketches on the table, turned off the lights, locked the door, and left the café.

Night fell, and the bright stars twinkled in the night sky. Even with the bright lights on the streets, the brilliance of the starry sky could not be concealed.

Although it was late, there were no fewer pedestrians on the streets than during the day, perhaps even more.

As mentioned before, the Theia Theocracy was an inclusive country. As long as one was not from a hostile church, the theocracy would treat everyone equally and welcome them warmly.

As the capital of the Theia Theocracy, Jana City naturally gathered people from all over the world.

By the way, the name Jana seemed to be the former nickname of the Triune God of Salvation, Stico.

At night, some races that were active at night also began to stir. On the streets, you could see some dark elves, vampires, and even headless horsemen.

They were originally opposing factions to the native races like elves, angels, and humans, but now they lived together in harmony and nature, talking and laughing, filling the streets with a cheerful atmosphere. This was unimaginable hundreds of years ago.

And all of this was thanks to the Triune God.

Unfortunately, Aliciel was not in the mood for a stroll right now. She had a plan.

Aliciel turned her head, her golden eyes shining with a star-purple light, echoing the bright starry sky above.

The Stardragon Secret Art passed down through the Cosmos family was the art of absorbing and controlling the power of the starry sky.

At night, Aliciel’s power would reach its peak. As early as evening, she could already feel the power gradually filling her body.

It was a feeling she had never had before, as if her body was filled with endless power, a wonderful feeling of being reborn.

Of course, because Aliciel was a half-finished product cultivated with the potion prepared by her sister, her power would also decline during the day, making her only slightly stronger than an ordinary person.

Even at her peak, her power was far inferior to her sister’s.

Her sister was not affected by time and could maintain her peak state twenty-four hours a day, and could even become stronger in space.

In short, if Ciel wanted to catch up with her sister, she still had a long way to go.

Opening her golden eyes, which were filled with star-purple light, Aliciel’s gaze instantly crossed a distance of hundreds of meters and locked onto Ren Daozhen, who was strolling on the street.

Although they had temporarily reached a cooperative relationship, out of caution, Aliciel still felt it was necessary to observe him in secret.

With a light step, her graceful figure disappeared from the spot. The bright starlight cast an invisible cloak over her, and she instantly vanished.

“Humph humph humph… humph humph… humph…”

At this time, Ren Daozhen was unaware that he was being followed. He was humming a little tune and splurging on the streets.

After a period of hardship, when one suddenly comes into money, one has the urge for retaliatory consumption.

At this time, there were many food stalls, and in a short while, Ren Daozhen’s arms were already filled with a large pile of snacks.

“They have takoyaki in this world too?”

Ren Daozhen looked at a stall owner with a human upper body and an octopus lower body making takoyaki, and couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed.

According to Aliciel, he was not the only transmigrator, but most of them were of unknown identity and rarely recorded. However, these transmigrators did bring some new culture and influenced the development of this world, just like that maid café.

Although the overall style was medieval Western fantasy, it also incorporated some modern pop culture.

However, in terms of familiarity, perhaps the Eastern Xuan Realm would be more suitable for him. According to Ciel, the cultural style there was closer to his hometown.
