Loser's redo: Transmigration in a novel

The street was filled with many people who had bright expressions on their faces. Passing by them, Zick munched upon the skewers in his hand.

It would take another few minutes to reach the plaza by walking from where he was at. Suddenly Zick's steps came to a stop. He remembered one of the magic that he created.

'I should use that magic instead of wasting my time going there.' Zick started walking towards the mana train without hesitation. He didn't want to waste his time anymore, he had just come to see the protagonist because of curiosity but he had lost interest by now.

While walking, Zick cast a magic.

'[Animosity eyes]'

In that instant, A viewing window appeared in the corner of his vision, it was just like he was watching a video on the computer. He could adjust the window's size at will too. He felt a mental pressure which gave him a slight headache. But this didn't change his expression, it was still indifference.

Right now he could see himself in the image.

Lifting his head up, Zick looked at the floating black eye that appeared above in the sky. The black eye was roughly ten centimetre. No one was able to sense its presence at all.

The [Animosity eyes] was a scouting type magic. It was the best one he created in this field, there was almost no immediate disadvantage in this magic to him. Even its capabilities were excellent.

This magic could only be sensed by a peak master swordsman. It could be used from a few kilometres away without a problem. The only downside of this magic was that it put a lot of mental pressure upon the caster. But Zick didn't have any problem using this magic. With his superior body recovery rate there wouldn't be any problem for a while.

If a normal person tried using this magic, he would reach his limit within a minute.

[Animosity eyes] didn't just give the ability of seeing but also hearing to a certain degree. It could pass through most of the things easily, only things enchanted with magic could disrupt it.

Following Zick's will, the black eye started moving towards the plaza. It didn't take long for it to reach there, being unhindered the whole time in the air.

Placing a little of his attention upon the image, Zick continued walking while eating a skewer. He could see the plaza clearly. Controlling the black eye through his will, he looked around the plaza.

'hm.....found him.' It didn't take long for Zick to find the person he was looking for.

A figure entered the black eye's vision.

The figure was a boy who smiled brightly, he looked to be 15 years old. He had bright red hair and eyes matching his expression. He looked very handsome, His eyes were sparkling like there were stars in it as he looked around the streets with interest.

He was the protagonist of the novel 'the hero of velveric fights the demon lord', Aeiron. He wore simple track pants with a whitish-brown T-shirt. The academy badge was hung on his chest

Aeiron looked the total opposite of Zick, he gave an impression of someone innocent and inexperienced. While Zick gave an indifferent and matured feeling to others.

Looking at the sword hanging on Aeiron's waist, Zick was able to tell that he had already helped Erene by now. That sword was given as a gift to him by Erene's father for helping to find his daughter.

'It doesn't seem like the plot has changed by a lot yet. Though it doesn't seem like he would be able to meet Celine today.'

Zick had already reached the mana train station. He went towards the ticket counter which was almost empty and took a ticket.

Zick's mansion was in the Desterk district located in the east section of the Academic city. Standing in the station, he continued looking at Aeiron through the black eye.

According to the novel, Celine was already in the plaza before Aeiron arrived there after helping Erene. But right now, she wasn't there. This could only mean one thing, Zick had changed the flow of the story.

Zick didn't care about maintaining the novel plot at all. He wouldn't gain anything from it after all. Seeing the train arriving, he took a last look at Aeiron who was leaving the plaza and deactivated the [Animosity eyes].

Zick felt like a load had been taken off him. Feeling refreshed, he entered the mana train and sat upon one of the seats near the window. Taking out a deep pink fruit which looked like a Pomegranate from Earth, he started eating it.

'Hm...not bad.' Eating the fruit, Zick looked out of the window.

It took only a few minutes for the mana train to reach its destination.

SCREECH~

With a slow screeching sound, the mana train came to a stop.

Getting off it, Zick headed back towards the mansion. It had already turned night but the mana train station had enough light, with all the blue crystals shining from the ceiling.

The streets here were less crowded than the ones from Feahert district. He remembered the way back to the mansion so he started walking towards it without hesitation.

Within five minutes, Zick arrived in front of his mansion. The guard opened the gate for him to enter immediately.

Entering the mansion, Zick walked towards Butler Von. There was something he needed him to do.

Butler Von was in the kitchen along with another servant, preparing food with a Stoic expression.

Hearing someone walking here, Butler Von turned around only to see Zick standing at the entrance of the kitchen.

''The dinner is almost ready, young master Zick." Bowing towards Zick, butler Von spoke in an apologetic way. It had taken longer than he had estimated as it took a while to buy food ingredients in the academic city.

''Alright and I want you to bring me the highest quality oath seal within tomorrow.'' Walking in front of Butler Von, Zick handed over the space ring he got from the Shivial family. He had already taken 20,000 platinum coins from the ring, but now there are only 10,000 platinum coins in it.

''Yes.''

Hearing Butler Von's answer, Zick started heading towards his room.

An oath seal is the same as an oath. The only thing different is that the oath seal was in the shape of a paper contract. There were a lot of restrictions in it, like it was not possible to form a complex or long oath through it.

And it was possible to even resist or remove this oath using various means. The best way to resist it is by using overwhelming strength, this way they wouldn't die at the least after breaking the oath.

Zick needed this oath seal for Anelete. He knew that her chances of going against her word are low, but he would rather trust an oath than her. He had chosen her to do trade for many reasons.

He needed a way to buy and sell his goods in a stable, favourable and safe channel.

The underworld couldn't actually fulfil any of these criteria. If Zick traded with them excessively, it was possible that his connection with them would be found out.

Zick wanted to keep long term relation with the underworld so he didn't want it get found out and destroyed already.

Anelete was the best choice for him currently. Signing an oath was a common act among many people so it wasn't a weird thing for him to send an oath seal to her.

Reaching his room, Zick sat upon one of the couches and started training in his aura with nothing else to do.
