MUSHOKU TENSEI: the beginning after the end

The Armored Dragon King Peragius....I've only heard of him in fantasy tales and I even thought he was simply an ancient legend.

But according to Sylphie and Roxy that guy is real and I met him personally To the point that he considered me one of his best friends.

Orsted's plan is to reincorporate me into society, starting with myself, then my children and grandchildren, and finally the entire world.

The excuse we will use?

I don't know, but according to Roxy there is a kind of summoning magic that serves to revive the dead, they will use the excuse of using that magic to explain that I have revived.

And to think that something like that would exist.

The only thing similar to that I can think of is when human skeletons revive in the form of skeleton monsters but that is Totally different thing

According to Orsted, my return is now a new opportunity for victory and we will no longer need to use my children.

And according to what he says, Laplace will revive in 3 years and it is only a matter of time before he attacks.

...

...

We are currently on our way to what Orsted says is the Orsted Corp office.

The building is medium-sized, made of grayish stone and wood and in front

It has the symbol of the Dragon God on the main door

Orsted entered first and was greeted with the image of a real corporate office.

Men in suits and ties sitting all in office cubicles while typing incessantly on typewriters reminded me of office workers in my old country.

When the workers saw Orsted their expressions immediately changed to one of terror and they quickly stood up

-welcome back president!!-

They all said and quickly sat down again and went back to work

-I forgot to put on my helmet...- Orsted said so quietly that I almost didn't hear him

We went up the stairs and before entering his office we met an elf girl, That when he saw Orsted he put on a momentary expression of fear but he took a breath and smiled kindly at him

maybe the secretary?

-welcome back President Orsted and?....eh?!-

Upon noticing my presence, the elf girl froze for a moment.

-vicepresident?!- The girl said almost breathlessly.

-Is Alek inside?- was all Orsted said to the elf girl.

-Huh?...ah, I'm sorry sir!, Mr. Alek arrived a few hours ago and is in the office- The girl said while she kept looking at me with her eyes wide open.

.....

.....

We entered the office and were greeted by the sight of a guy of about 20 or 25 years old sitting at a desk writing by hand.

I could see that he is lacking a right hand and it seems to be sealed by some kind of magic circle...

When he saw Orsted he immediately stood up And he gave him a bow of respect

-Welcome back sir and....eh?!-

Just like the elf girl this guy made the same surprised expression

-Mr. Rudeus?!....-He said as he approached me trembling and stopped in front of me, he looked at Orsted and he nodded, the boy opened his eyes in surprise and suddenly....

He hugged me?....what the fuck?

-Mr. Rudeus!! This is not possible! I must be dreaming, right? I missed you too much! - said the boy as he increased the strength of his hug so much that I almost thought he would break my back and ribs, Seriously? This guy only has one arm and he's still this strong?

-Stop Alek, you're hurting him- said Orsted while looking at us with a smile

Ah! I'm so sorry sir! - he said as he quickly released me.

-What the fuck, man?!- I said as I writhed in pain and cast healing magic, I seriously think this guy broke something in me.

-I'm sorry sir! That's just that I'm too sudden and inexplicable, but I assume that Mr. Orsted has something, but I would love to know the details!!- he said As he lowered his head in apology

-I see... my name is Rudeus Greyrat but I suppose you already know that- I said as I extended my left hand, I quickly realized my mistake and understood the right hand

-eh?, Don't you remember me sir? - said the boy while looking at Orsted

-We will explain it right now, please take a seat Alek- said Orsted as he sat at his desk, following his example, I took a nearby chair and sat in front of the desk and the boy Alek sat next to me

Orsted looked at us with nostalgia as if he had remembered some good time before closing his eyes and taking a deep breath returning to his usual terrifying expression.

...

...

-I see... so Mr. Rudeus traveled in time inexplicably, simply surprisingly and also very conveniently, in fact too much- said Alek while closing his eyes with a smile.

According to Alek himself, decades ago he and my future self fought and I won with great difficulty, claiming the title of 7th world power, but when I died the title returned to Alek.

-Would you like to have a fight to get your title back sir?,You can use your most powerful armor and if things get complicated I will let you beat me.- Alek said while looking me in the eyes with a smile

-Huh?!! No!, no thanks, I'm not interested in a title as big as that!-I said exasperated

Alek laughed at this comment.-Yes...when you beat me you offered to give me back my title many times hehe, but I feel that you deserve it more- Alek said as he looked at the ceiling as if he had remembered good times, he looked like an old man with that expression

-So I guess now that Mr. Rudeus is back the plans will become easier, right?- Alek said as he returned his gaze to Orsted.

-Indeed, now with Rudeus on our side again, defeating Hitogami will be much easier- said Orsted with a smile

-I see...and you're thinking of reintroducing him to the world, aren't you?- said Alek as a big smile formed on his face.

-Yes, first we will start with Peragius said Orsted standing up.

-Do you want me to contact Mr. Rudeus' children?- Alek asked.

-Do it- said Orsted dryly

Finally I will be able to meet my children now... but won't they be old people compared to me? And how am I supposed to act in front of Peragius?

These thoughts flew through my mind as I, Orsted, and Alek rode out of Sharia City, even though it was the middle of winter the horses had no problem.

After half a day of galloping, Orsted stopped near the ruins of a castle he had never seen before and pulled out a kind of flute plated or made of gold from his hood.

I blew it and no noise came out, I wanted to comment on this but seeing Alek's calm expression I kept my comments to myself.

It wasn't long before someone from my memories appeared out of nowhere...

-Orsted, Alek kallman lll and?....Rudeus Greyrat?!- said Almanfi..the guy who attacked me the day of the teleportation Catastrophe
