He sat down next to the shivering man and said…
“Actually I saw the monster too….”
“Hahaha, you’re crazy too??”
But Ronald ignored him and continued…
“No for real… but aside from being colossal, the monster, no, it's not wrong to call it…. the sea god… When I saw it, it… was majestic. With its deep blue scales, its large, long but bright tentacles, its lofty appearance, I saw it command the sea and storms….”
Ronald then spent the time bragging about his appearance while he waited for his trial.
Soon a guard came in…
“Hey, you! It’s time for your trial”
He pointed at Ronald as he got up and said to his cellmates.
“Wish me luck.”
“Fuck you”
“Monster…. God….”
His cellmate responded enthusiastically.
Soon he followed behind the jailer and found himself in what seemed like a courtroom.
The presumed judge was writing about something and when he turned his head up. Ronald saw the confusion on his face before it gradually turned into shock.
“MY LORD!!”
“What do you know….”
Ronald was currently inside a large mansion after being brought here from the courthouse looking at a portrait of a young man probably 18-20 years old. A baffled smile formed on his mouth.
“We thought we lost you during the storm, Lord Regan went looking for a month for you but in the end, all they could find was the shipwreck.”
‘And I stumbled upon the shipwreck and took someone’s body to study and imitate’
The young man in the picture looked exactly like him. To be exact, he imitated the man’s appearance to look like him.
Being sent to prison and turning out to look like the son of a lord…. What a day.
“I’m not him though.” Ronald shrugged, if he had gained the man's memories, he might have pretended he was the one they were looking for, but since he didn’t, he decided to be honest.
The old man, probably in his 50s with short white hair wearing a robe said…
“My lord… I’m sure of it, it is you. And as you say… you have lost your memories through the accident. Lord Regan will be happy knowing his nephew has survived. Thank the gods!”
“Unfortunately, I am not so please don’t let anybody have false hope. But thank you for bailing me out of jail Old man!”
Ronald denied more as he tried to leave but then a group of people entered the hall. Leading them, A young man, with the same color of hair as him but black eyes, wearing gaudy and expensive clothing, and about 1.75 tall.
Seeing Ronald, the young man showed a shocked expression before exclaiming.

“Ronald!!? You’re Alive!? Impossible!!”
Oh, and he had the same name as the man in the portrait. What a coincidence!
Ronald couldn’t but chuckle at the man’s stunned face, for a second Ronald wanted to say ‘I’ve come back! And I’ve come back for revenge!’ Wonder what face would they make? But he had enough share of pranks already.
“It is indeed impossible.”
Ronald agreed with him and passed by him nonchalantly and headed out of the mansion.
“My lord!”
“All right old man, thank you for giving me these, nearly went to jail just for these… Oh wait I did go to jail”
Ronald said while holding a small paper card depicting his name, date, and number of admission.
“My lord… we have to get back to the manor, you have to get your memories back! Where is Leo!? I told him to get portraits of the lord’s parents, why isn’t he here yet?!” The old man said the latter half to his subordinates.
The old man, whom he had just learned was Vance was still following him along with an entourage.
Ronald honestly didn’t mind, but of course, he kept reminding the old man that he wasn’t who they thought he was.
Right now, he was currently thinking about what to do, seeing as he was in another world, should he bring some works from earth here?
Possible. But It's not exciting enough, it must be something that allows him to become an integral part of human society.
“Look! That’s the monster Captain Gibson killed!”
“The gods above, that is humongous….”
“I didn’t know razorback serpent could get this big…”
Ronald noticed a small commotion in front of a restaurant. Displayed on top along with the signboard is the huge skull and skeleton of a serpent-like monster.
Its skull is probably about a meter in diameter in thickness. One could only imagine how terrifying it is when it was still alive.
Meanwhile seeing the people clamoring toward it, he got a faint idea of what he wanted to do.
“Is it really him?”
“He denied it, and according to my subordinates, he said had lost his memories but he looked exactly like Ronald and his father”
“Hmm… then this is bad… no matter who he is, his appearance alone can cause a ripple to our plans” A woman, who had aged by time but was covered by makeup, with long black hair and a yellow dress said to his son.
The young from before who saw Ronald’s appearance answered…” I know, that’s why I'm figuring out how to rid of him before things could get worse, Uncle should only be back a couple of months so he doesn’t know yet, I also sealed off the information, at least temporarily.”
The woman’s eyes glint with a dangerous light and said decisively to his son as she seemed to know what he was thinking…
“Don’t do it yourself, tracks can easily be lead back to you, instead…. Let's inform someone else who will do the job for us”
