So, I got isekai’d

"So, where are we going?"

"..."

You could at least talk old man! I just wanted to chit chat while we're taking a walk to who knows where

"I should just go back"

"We're almost there, just a few steps more"

"So you finally decided to talk huh?"

"There are many monsters in this forest despite we're in the Myriad Forest. But to my surprise...."

"...?"

"...It's quiet...too quiet..."

"..."

Does he mean that its unnatural for those creatures to not show up in front of us?

"Well, its better than having to fight with them, which takes amount of time that can be wasted, but at the same time, quite troublesome"

"How so?"

"Do I have to explain everything for you?"

I looked at him with the most curious face that I had

"*Sigh...* Its because of the drops. Creatures here in the Myriad Forest drop food materials when you defeat them. Don't they teach you that in your kingdom?"

"Uhh..."

"Nevermind, I just remembered how stupid you are earlier"

"Urk"

I wanted to explain to him about my existence so badly, but I don't know how he will take it

After all, I don't know anything about this world

I must observe first before I give away too much information about me that might turn them into my enemy

"By the way, You haven't told your name yet"

"..."

"...?"

"..."

As if he got bothered with me looking at him intensely, he finally replied

"...Shin"

"Nice to meet you Shin"

It wasn't quite noticeable, but I can see his head nodding as a reply to my statement

"We're here"

"Oh...?"

To what I saw, we arrived near to what it seems to be a simple house that was made out of wood. It looked rundown, but from a glance, I can quite tell that this house was standing for at least a decade now

"...?"

I can see something...odd...

For some reason...Shin's House...

...is glowing....

"What's wrong? My house doesn't bite you know"

"N-Nothing"

Doesn't he see it? Or does he already know? I wanna ask him, but something tells me that I shouldn't...

...

Once we entered Shin's home, I saw not much of a difference to what I always see in one of those isekai animes

Same furniture, and same style. Looks like not much is gonna change even if I'm in a new world

"Here, sorry, I don't have anything to give you except water"

"It's fine, I prefer to drink water than tea anyways"

"Tea...?"

"...?"

"You came from a rich family?"

"No, why?"

"Tea is only accessible for the nobles, royalties and such here"

I almost got choked just from drinking water the moment I heard that

"What? Are you serious?"

"Does it sound like I'm joking?"

"..."

He has a sharp tongue sometimes, but he's not bad

"That's the first time I've heard of that"

"I can tell, and I'm not even surprised"

"What's that supposed to mean?!"

"If you're not a noble, or anything close to that...then are you a wanderer?"

"...You could say that"

"But you don't have any equipment on you"

"..."

I think this old man is onto me!

After a few minutes of thinking of a way to smoke me out, he finally gave up on the thought

"*Sigh* Nevermind, Can you just tell me about yourself?"

"I already told you earlier I'm-"

"No, you're not human, or that's what my intuition is telling me right now"

Shin stood up, looking at me with the most intimidation that he's got, while seemingly having a dark, immense aura behind him

"What the-"

"Sorry, but I had enough of beating around the bush. You have heard of me right?"

"Wait wait wait! I don't even know you! And why are you suddenly having murderous intent on me?!"

"...Interesting"

"Huh?"

"Even though I'm intentionally leaking out my dark aura, you don't look scared at all..."

"Can we just talk this whole thing out?"

I said, as he was still leaking his aura even more

"This is the first time I've seen someone completely unfazed in my aura alone. Are you perhaps a hero? But that's impossible, even the heroes I've met before got scared the moment they seen my presence...so how was someone like you aren't? I don't even understand..."

Ah...he's completely talking to himself now... 

Also, did he just mention about multiple heroes? Does that mean that I'm not the only one who got transported into this world, or does it mean these heroes are the ones who are born into this world?

...

I was about to have my own deep thought when finally, Shin stopped supressing the whole house with his dark aura

"I've changed my mind"

"Changed your mind on what?"

"I was dead set on killing you because I thought you will be a threat to me, but from the looks of it, looks like I won't have to"

"Thank goodness!"

"Looks like you'll die to yourself first before you can even kill me"

Shin's words hurt, like he just launched a barrage of knives at me just now

"That's why from today hereon, I'll be training you"

"Excuse me?"

"You'll be my disciple, and I'll be your master, got it?"

"Um, who told you that I agreed?"

Shin sat down with a smirk on his face for the first time

"Do you have a place to live?"

"No"

"Can you even provide food for yourself?"

"No..."

"Can you even survive on your own?"

"..."

"...?"

"...No..."

"Then it's settled. We'll start at early tomorrow morning. For now, I'll prepare something for us to eat, you can go ahead and take a rest in the bed if you want"

"Okay..."

...

...Surprisingly, Shin's acting like...my father?!

"Starting tomorrow, you'll be training like crazy, so get ready for that"

I take it back, I can feel that tomorrow's gonna be like a boot camp, and he's gonna be my personal Drill Sergeant! 

I shivered on the thought as I waited for Shin's meal of the day...
