Loser's redo: Transmigration in a novel

The sun rose from the horizon, flooding its warmth to the land below.

Clip-clop!

A lone black horse galloped forward on the plain terrain at a fast pace, and a trail of dust was left behind it.

Sitting upon the horse, Zick looked forward as his eyes shone in the light. He had removed the white mask, exposing his pale but still handsome face. The brown robe fluttered wildly from the harsh wind.

His skills in riding horses were above average, allowing him to travel at a stable speed.

Zick had exited the forest only a few minutes ago. In between, he only stopped once, to let the horse rest for a while. He had also tested his strength a little in front of the mob monsters like goblins and orcs.

Unlike before, Zick couldn't start traveling from the leg, this would make him appear suspicious in front of others.

In the middle continent, he had the Melvix family's plaque which let him travel worry-free. But here he had lost both his strength and influence, making him travel through the horse. To appear like a normal wanderer.

'I have around 14 more mana bombs now.' Zick counted while urging the horse to move faster through the reign.

Only four mana bombs were enough to blow up that small village. This bomb could be used against an opponent of high rank knight's level, so they were still somewhat useful. Unfortunately, all the strong bombs were already used by the assassins who ambushed him.

The disappointment vanished in a blink of an eye and a sense of emergency took over Zick. He needed any kind of influence he could get in the eastern continent.

'Becoming a merchant doesn't seem like a bad idea, but I don't have much experience in it. Well, I don't have any say in it, to begin with....'

Becoming a mercenary was also an option, but this kind of professional didn't give much influence and benefit to Zick. All he would get was an identity that could be used to move a little more unrestrained.

'Becoming a merchant temporarily would be the most useful in my current position. This way, I will be able to hire mercenaries in name of exploring a new discovered lab.'

Spreading information about the lab with the biological golem was also an option. But this one was very risky, where things could go out of control.

What if the alchemy tower got hold of this information?

They would without a doubt try to hoard everything within it for themselves! Entry would be extremely restricted once that happens.

The lab of the biological golem was located at the furthest of the southeast of the Eastern continent. It would take almost a whole month to travel from where Zick was in through horse.

'My life will also be at risk in this plan.' Because of this, Zick didn't want to rush this matter at all. Just a little carelessness could lead to his death.

There are four conditions Zick needed to fulfill to be able to get the biological golem.

First, a huge amount of people are needed to take on the traps at the entrance of the lab. There was a loophole that appeared after a lot of traps were triggered, Zick planned on using this.

Second, He needed four people who would follow Zick's order thoroughly. There was a door that needed four people to access it at once from different places.

Third, to get control over the lab, he needed a device that was buried in the place where the old alchemist tower stood. It was nothing but ruins now. This was located at the east of the eastern continent within the Leweisert kingdom.

For this device, Zick would also have to visit the Leweisert kingdom once.

And fourth, after getting control of the lab, Zick needed an immense amount of blood and flesh from a human. It had to be human flesh if not there would be chances of failure in the creation of the golem.

The golem core was already an half-finished item, which had absorbed almost million people. This was the reason the whole continent went against the alchemist tower of that time.

Killing millions of people went past what could be ignored. But this in turn helped Zick and Aeiron to get their hand upon the golem.

The protagonist, Aeiron used monsters body's for this process, after all, he was a person with a bottom line.

Aeiron could have forced his way through the lab with his peak master level strength, but one of his harem members stopped him.

Her name was Leona, and she was an alchemist. She was also the one who found out how to get into the lab without destroying it.

Zick clearly remembered what the novel had mentioned.

[The more human flesh the golem's core absorbs, the more perfect it will become.]

For this reason, Zick schemed for so long and thoroughly.

'I wonder what the perfect version of the Golem would look like. Will its attack power also match the defensive capability then?' Just thinking of it, Zick felt excited.

Though Zick didn't have much time, He was still willing to spend his time on this.

Until he got the biological golem, he needed something which could keep him safe and help in the process of collecting things needed to increase his potential.

Zick chose Varine and another person who he was going to meet later on in the Gorthect kingdom.

Zick narrowed his eyes, 'The Hustec potion and Bevert potion, I need to get my hand on these two potions too.....'

The hustec potion boosts training in mana by thrice permanently till master rank.

And Bevert potion can increase a person's potential to master swordsman level.

They were both in the hand of an alchemist, working in the Jhesker alchemy tower. This tower was located in the Neokelt empire, located in the northeast.

Even while thinking of how to use other's power, Zick never stopped thinking of ways that could increase his own strength and potential.

While planning his future movement, Zick rode the horse.

Finishing thinking, he looked at the space ring he got from Deren. Seeing through the thing within, disappointingly there was nothing worth mentioning.

Sending the money to his ring, Zick put Deren's ring into his pocket. There were only a few hundred gold coins within it.

It turned evening soon, no city appeared in Zick's way. Only plain terrains and a few small forests would appear randomly.

This made him suspect that the village chief, Deren was lying to him about being under some noble. But he rejected this thought, after thinking about it a little.

In the end, Zick just decided to put it in the back of his head. As it would just benefit him if no one noticed that the village had vanished.

With no obstacles in his way, Zick traveled at a quick pace. He only stopped a few times to let his horse rest.

The night soon arrived with the red moon glowing in the middle of the sky.

Sitting in the middle of the forest, with trees surrounding him, Zick looked at the bonfire blankly. He was releasing dragon fear so no monster came near him.

In the silence, suddenly Zick's expression changed. As he thought rapidly, his expression also kept changing along with it.

First, it was a surprised expression, then to a thoughtful one and in the end, his expression turned solemn.

His connection with Varine had been severed!

**********

Uthyen was an illegitimate son of a noble family, his father treated him well, but everyone else only held disdain against him.

He was a smart person so he caught up to things fast, he knew that once any of his brothers took over as the head of the family, it would be his end.

Knowing his future was bleak, Uthyen started preparing to leave the family and become a self sufficient person. For this, he planned and schemed, moving in the shadows for years.

While preparing for his eminent Severance from family, Uthyen realized that he had talent to become a merchant.

Keeping that in mind, Uthyen made many connections with other merchants and nobles, in the dark without any of his family mamber noticing.

But when he turned 19, a opportunity presented itself in front of him. They were people who came from the other continent!

The alchemy towers were paying fortunes to get their hands upon them. Taking this chance, Uthyen decided to make use of it to the most. Fooling his family in believing that he was simply visiting the village for sight seeing, by bribing the knights. He was able to catch many of the people who appeared out of thin air.

They were called as the ghost people right now by the citizens of the eastern continent.

Going around villages for no reason would without a doubt make his family suspicious, but it didn't matter anymore.

Uthyen was going to make a run for it after getting as much as he could from this opportunity.

And today was the last day he would call himself along with his family name.

Uthyen looked at the girl who was clenching her jaw and enduring the pain coming from the slave seal.

Swish~ with a red flash, all of Zick's blood was removed from the round slave seal.

Uthyen had seen the hatred in Varine's eyes, who looked at him as if to poke a hole through his head. But he ignored her, the fate of the slaves who enter the alchemy tower was already known to him.

Though the alchemy tower aren't allowed to do human experiment, they could still do what they want with their own slave right? Though they can't do experiment on them, they could still use them as they wanted.

"Hmph!" Uthyen walked away, now done with his work. He was in a little hurry right at the moment. He planned on selling Varine fast and leave the West domain and head towards the southern part of the continent.
