Runemaster in the Last Days

Chapter 1052 - 1054: Jonas Nolan

But no matter what the returnees said, it was impossible for them to erase the ray of hope from the people's eyes.

And it seemed as if the burden of saving the entire world fell onto their shoulder.

Why them?

Jonas Nolan had never been able to understand this.

From the very beginning to the very end, Jonas Nolan knew very well that he was far from qualified to become a savior or a hero.

It was not like he didn't have any expectation or dream when he entered Afirer Kingdom in the first place.

After all, Jonas Nolan was one of the few who have a relatively peaceful and supportive family. Be it on the Green Planet or in Afirer Kingdom, his family members were extremely kind and will not force him to do anything that he didn't want to.

With his poor combat talent and his inability to adapt to the cruel enviroment, Jonas Nolan knew very well that he wouldn't be able to survive if he had been thrown into a difficult environment.

He's not as good as the other returnees.

Each and every single one of them seemed to be very talented, strong, and were able to continue moving forward no matter what adversity they faced.

Jonas Nolan is a proper young master.

He lived a comfortable life ever since he was young and didn't have much achievement in life. With parents who loved and pamper him, he didn't have to do anything and everything would be handed over to him in a silver platter.

It was definitely the kind of life that was envied by many people all over the world.

And Jonas Nolan himself had to admit that he himself felt that his life was extremely good and was completely different from the other returnees.

So when he found out about the other returnees, Jonas Nolan couldn't understand.

Because he could see that each and every single one of them seemed to be more qualified to stand on the forefront than him.

They were able to become so strong and fought against the magic beasts.

Even when they were on the verge of death, they could still showcase power that far surpassed their original strength and turned the tide of the battle.

It was amazing.

And it would be a lie if Jonas Nolan said that he was not envious.

Something so powerful was shown in front of him...

But Jonas Nolan also knew that it was definitely not something that he could possibly covet in his entire life.

If he really wanted to be like them, then he would need to have the determination to risk his life and fought on the frontline.

But...

*cough*

Thinking about the terrifying magic beasts, Jonas Nolan felt that he would only end up trembling in fear and couldn't do anything.

He knew very well that compared to many other people, he lacked the common senses needed for people to live. If he came out of his house and interacted with people, there were many times when he offended people without knowing the reason.

Being a young master, Jonas Nolan was basically living a sheltered live.

Even though he tried his best to do things on his own from time to time, Jonas Nolan could sense that many people were looking down on him.

It's terrifying.

He's scared.

And this made Jonas Nolan felt that he was even more unqualified to be a returnee who was specifically selected.

Why are there 12 returnees in the first place?

Seeing the other returnees were able to fight these magic beasts with ease and moved around on the battlefield made Jonas Nolan at loss.

What's the use of someone like him who's a coward and could only stay at the back.

There were even times when Jonas Nolan felt that it would be better if he hadn't been chosen by whoever it is to enter Afirer Kingdom.

Wouldn't it be better to choose someone else?

But it was him who was selected.

At the beginning, Jonas Nolan naturally didn't understand anything and treated Afirer Kingdom as his second life. Even if he missed his family members, Jonas Nolan tried his best to steel his heart and stepped forward.

Because he knew very well that he had to live a good life in his second life.

He truly treated Afirer Kingdom and his family members as his second home.

A place where he could return to whenever he wanted.

...If only the grand magic beasts' tide didn't happen.

Before his second death, Jonas Nolan had long thought that he should have been able to do something more. He didn't want to lose them and hoped that they could stay together for a long period of time.

Unfortunately, his wishes were destined to remain unanswered.

Jonas Nolan knew that.

The moment he woke up on the Green Planet, he could only cry.

Because he had lost his family members whom he treasured from Afirer Kingdom, yet he also regained his family members whom he thought that he had lost.

Jonas Nolan didn't know what to feel.

And he lived a relatively ordinary and leisure life as the salted fish young master who didn't have anything to worry about in life.

That is until the earthquake happened and the magic beasts appeared.

That's when Jonas Nolan realized that this is not the end yet.

With the knowledge that he had learned from Afirer Kingdom, Jonas Nolan was determined to ensure the safety of the people around him.

But...

When Jonas Nolan saw the magic beasts in front of him, he still couldn't bring the courage needed to fight.

He's scared.

He just wanted to hide.

No matter how many times that he told himself that he had to do this, Jonas Nolan knew that he couldn't.

It's pathetic.

Really.

Jonas Nolan didn't even want to remember his humiliating appearance when he found out that he was actually so scared like that.

As a man, shouldn't he be braver and stepped forward?
