Conquering The Game's World

Shaking his head, he said. "It's not your fault, Mom. Everything is because I was foolish and acted rashly. But I'm fine now, see."

Luis wiped the tears from her eyes, then he continued. "I don't know how it happened, but when I woke up, I found myself inside our apartment in Droverk Towers."

Luis didn't say the part where the previous Luis died and he (Ethan) took over.

"The wounds on my body were very painful. At that moment, my Lightning attribute activated and covered my entire body. At first, I was shocked, but then I noticed that my wounds were healing rapidly. But my mind was way past the exhaustion point, so I went unconscious and woke up today." Luis said all that in one breath. He saw their expressions and, as expected, they were stunned speechless.

"... Lightning attribute has healing ability?" Ronald asked after a long pause. Because this was the first time he heard something like this.

Lumine was the same, looking at her son with bright eyes.

"I don't know," Luis said with a shrug. It was the truth. After all, even in previous Luis' memories, he never heard of something like that. At first, he wanted to hide it, but decided against it. It doesn't matter. He can tell this to his parents. If he can't trust his loving parents, he might as well die in this cruel world.

Ronald had a thoughtful look on his face. After some time, he nodded, thinking of something as if he made up his mind.

"Luis, you go rest first and we will talk in an hour. I have something to prepare." With those words, Ronald turned to Lumine and said in a soft voice, "Prepare something for him to eat first. He must be hungry."

"Un" Lumine nodded and pulled Luis' hand toward his room. She ordered a maid to bring Luis food to his bedroom before taking him towards his bedroom.

As soon as they left his sight, Ronald's eyes turned extremely cold. He clenched his fist tightly, holding his anger. He closed his eyes to take a deep breath and calm himself down.

"Jack." His voice was cold without emotions.

Soon, a shadow of a person appeared near him. It was a man with blue hair and a small scar near his right eye.

"Find out who is behind this." Jack nodded and left.

Ronald was left behind alone in silence. Many thoughts crossed his mind. What would he have done if he lost his son? This dangerous thought alone made him shiver.

He stood up and walked out of the mansion. Now that his son had awakened, naturally, he had some things to prepare.

***

On the other side, Lumine took Luis to his room. All this time, she didn't let his hand go. As if afraid if she did so, something bad might happen to him.

Luis felt strangely warm in his heart. In his previous life, his parents died when he was very young. His elder sister, who was already a working adult, took care of him in their place. He was always grateful for his sister, who took care of him for all those years. He was also saddened by the fact that he died without doing anything for his sister. Even until the last moment, he thought of himself as a burden for her.

If only he didn't exist, she would have been happy with her husband and son, instead of wasting her time and money on him. Those kinds of thoughts always filled his mind.

But now that he thinks about it, he never knew what his sister felt when she took care of him. He never thought about it from her perspective. He only listened to people cursing him for being a nuisance in his sister's life.

Those sharp words of society were like sharp knives for the young Ethan who lost his parents. Slowly, he started blaming himself for everything. Even though he tried to act fine inwardly, he was at a breaking point. When his illness was discovered. He knew his end was coming and, at some point; he died.

Now here he was living in someone else's body and acting like their son who is long dead. When he looked at the small hand that was holding him tightly as if afraid of letting him go. He couldn't help but think about what would have happened if he didn't enter Luis' body.

Would they know their son died? Or will they keep searching for him in the hopes of finding him?

Luis now knew in the game when the Suarez family was mentioned, Luis was long dead. Because in a certain back story, there was a mention of the son of Ronald Suarez and Lumine Desmond, who went missing and was never found again. It was a mystery what happened to him. But now he knows.

While he was still in his thoughts, he was already in front of his bedroom door. With her other hand, Lumine pushed open the door and walked inside, pulling his hand.

She walked to his massive king-sized bed and let him sit there while she sat beside him, still holding his hand.

"Um, Mom,"

"What is it, honey?" Lumine asked softly. Wondering if Luis is feeling uncomfortable somewhere. "Don't worry, I've called the doctor. He will be arriving soon."

"You called a doctor?" Luis was stunned. Because he already mentioned that he was fine. There's no need for a doctor.

As if she read his mind, she said. "Even if you are fine, it's not a bad idea to get yourself checked."

Resigning to her words and nodding his head, he answered her first question with a question. "How long are you going to hold my hand?"

"Until the doctor comes."

"I see."

"..."

There was silence in the room as Luis didn't know what to say at this moment. He knew previously Luis used to talk with her a lot, so this silence was abnormal. But what can he do? He was still awkwardly adjusting to Luis' life.
