What? I Actually Reincarnated As Stepping Stone In Another World?

Chapter 13 Three Years And Time To Start The Plan

?"How do I look, mom?" A three-year-old boy asked in an immature tone of voice, but if others listened to his voice, they could hear the authority in that tone.

His little face looked cute, but his good looks were already starting to show on his little face.

His jet-black hair, which looked short, suited him perfectly.

His eyes, which were purple like sapphire gems, were glittering.

Right now, he was looking in front of a huge mirror and trying on the clothes that his mother had asked him to wear.

Yes! He is Arthur Asvold, who just turned three years old yesterday, and his handsome looks were already starting to show on his face.

"It's been three years already... Time flies." Arthur sighed and began to think about his life during these three years.

Suffice it to say, he enjoyed this life very much and had made this world his own.

Especially, being with his mother Elizabeth made him feel very comfortable and safe.

Although he knew that during this period Elizabeth's obsession and possessiveness had grown stronger towards him, it did not make him dislike his mother.

He could now only surrender or let his mother do whatever she wanted because, if he refused or scolded her for her nature, he was afraid that an incident like Charlotte would happen again in this world.

This is one of the things he gained from his experience dealing with the kind of people who have obsessive love.

"Handsome, so handsome! My son is so handsome!~" Elizabeth's voice came from behind him, and he suddenly felt a soft touch from behind him.

The corner of Arthur's mouth twitched, and he was completely helpless to face his mother like this.

After all, he really couldn't fight his mother, could he?

If he resisted and moved away from her, he might feel a sharp sword stab in his heart.

p?nd?`no??1--?o? After all, this was a fantasy world, and real swords were everywhere.

Immediately, he looked at himself in the mirror and cursed in his heart, "How is it that my appearance now as Arthur is so similar to my self in the previous world?"

"Damn author! Wasn't I used as a stepping stone in the story "Birth of the Elemental Lord" by him all along?

No wonder Arthur was described as very handsome in the book.

Because Arthur was described as a very handsome man by the author, but his face, hair, and other features were not described in the novel.

So, he really only discovered this when he started growing up as Arthur!

"How much did the author hate me to make me a side character in the novel?" Arthur sneered at the damn author and felt very annoyed.

Suddenly,

"What is it, my son? Is there something that makes you uneasy?" Elizabeth looked at him in the mirror and asked in a worried tone.

"It's okay, mom."

"By the way, I'd like to go to the library first because there's a book I haven't read yet, mom!" He said it lightly and looked at his mother with pleading eyes.

Suddenly, he felt Elizabeth's embrace tighten and her eyes darken, and she said coldly, "Are you really uncomfortable being alone with mom?"

"You've always been running to the mansion's library and spending less time with me, you know?" She looked at Arthur sharply and spoke in a knife-sharp tone.

Arthur could really feel the strong hatred in those words!

Immediately he started acting spoiled, put on a sad face, and said, "It's not like that, mom!"

"You know that I'm very curious about the outside world, and because you forbid me to go out of the mansion, that makes it impossible for me to find out about things out there, mom~"

Elizabeth's cold eyes suddenly became soft, and she spoke softly.

"Okay, I'm sorry, my angel~"

"I'm afraid you'll stay away from me and hate me."

"You are the only important person in my life, and I'm not letting you out because your very handsome and cute appearance will get you kidnapped by the bad women out there."

"So, I'm sorry, okay?"

"After all my business is done, the two of us will travel around the world, and there will only be the two of us, my dear~"

Elizabeth said this with a little excitement and started explaining nonsense.

"If you're going to lie to me, use a lie that makes sense, mom!"

"Don't you just want to keep me by your side forever?"

"If my soul was a three-year-old child, I would probably believe your nonsense!" Arthur muttered irritably in his heart, but of course he didn't say that to his mother.

Wouldn't he be looking for death if he told her the truth?

"Okay, mom, I believe you!" Arthur's purple eyes sparkled, and he hugged Elizabeth's neck and kissed her gently.

After all, his body was three years old, and he had to act like a three-year-old.

"Humm~" Elizabeth hugged him back, and a mysterious smile appeared on her lips.

Immediately, he ran out of the room and walked towards the mansion library.

As he walked, he greeted the maids and guards in the mansion with a gentle smile.

"Wow! "

"Young Master is smiling at me!"

"Ahh~ the handsome smile that appeared on his mature face made me wet!"

"No! He's looking at me!" The maids who saw his handsome smile suddenly went crazy and got into a fight.

Hearing that, Arthur did not fluctuate, and his face looked normal.

After all, both his current self and his former self, Zayn Welston, had often received this kind of gaze in their two lives.

So, he didn't feel anything and just stared ahead.

...

Soon, he reached the library door and entered.

He saw various bookshelves full of books that were already somewhat worn out.

However, all the books looked complete, and there was no dust to be seen.

After all, every day the maids always cleaned this library, so there was no dirt here.

He walked towards his personal desk, which was already full of various books, and one of the books looked open, which indicated that he had not finished it yet.

Immediately, he sat down on the bench of his personal desk and looked at the title of the open book, "History of the Elemental World."

Then he smiled mysteriously and muttered, "Time to start my first plan."

"In my previous life, I had already mastered all the fields, such as war strategy, riding, archery, and various other things that are not important in a peaceful and technologically advanced world."

"However, it is the duty of every successor to the Welston family to master these things."

"And now, I did not expect that it would become one of the most important things to me in this world."

Arthur's eyes looked cold, and he thought lightly.

Now there was no childish smile on his handsome face, and he looked thoughtful.

"However, the protagonist, Abel,... " He suddenly thought of a name that was the protagonist of this world.

And immediately looked at the book in front of him and said, in a cold tone, "Protagonist? Hehe, look! Who is the real protagonist in this world!"

"Only a trash who relies on plot armor!"

"And I will be different from the real Arthur in that novel!" He spoke lightly and smiled faintly.

Then he turned the page and started reading seriously.

Author Note:

Okay, I updated more words today because I felt like I needed to increase the number of words in the chapter.

Because I've been so busy lately that I actually don't have time to type.

Oh yeah! Actually, the reason why I wrote a very long prologue with only seven chapters is that if I divided it into various chapters, it would make new readers bored because they would see more than twenty initial chapters not about the main character in the fantasy world.

However, since this is just my opinion based on my perspective as a reader, I applied it, and I apologize if there are any word mistakes.

By the way, everything I write now will have a connection with the future chapters, and there will be a lot of plot twists.

So, I'm laying a strong foundation so that it can be connected in future chapters and not make a monotonous story!

fufufu~

Anyway, stay tuned, and don't forget to support me! Thank you.
