A minor planet called Loothea. It was closer to the biggest planet in the universe, home to the Alliance, and where Arthur planned to go first, Idretera.
Was there a way for him to prevent the outcome? No, not at all. The two mages battling in the space were powerful, and it was just unlucky for Arthur to be there at the wrong time.
He was alive, which was a good thing, but Arthur was still hurt after the fall, and it was still unknown what was the condition of his wives.
“It makes sense. Planets have to be like this to have life, and as far as I know, mana is responsible to make the planets habitable.”
The mana controlled the temperature and all the gases that were essential to life, meaning any planet, being it distant from the sun of that universe or not, could have people living in it.
Arthur went to check the other metal balls around him, which belonged to his wives. He opened up all the three doors, and noticed that Jane, Wisa and Sybille were unconscious, yet still breathing.
Then Arthur sensed someone approaching. It was a man wearing handmade clothing, similar to those of villagers. He also had a dagger and a bow!
“This planet is way closer to our destination, yet it seems this place is not that developed,” thought Arthur.
What were those things? He had never seen it before, and only after a few seconds did he notice Arthur and his wives.
He had a feeling that they were powerful mages, and powerful mages were rare, so the man went closer to Arthur and said, “hello? Are you alright?”
“How many people are there? Only you?” the man asked.
“Me and three more. Please.”
The man was alone, so it would be hard to help everyone. “can you hold on for about ten minutes? I will return with more people to help.”

After that, the man left, returning to his small cabin. He was a well-known person in the village, so it was easy for him to get some help from others.
Each one of them helped one of Arthur’s wives, taking them back to their village.
“Arthur, nice to meet you.”
The village he lived was not that far from where Arthur had fallen. They crossed a small forest, and then a river, finally reaching the village!
A simple life, yet they did everything on their reach to help Arthur.
There, a gorgeous woman was waiting for them, alongside a small little girl.
“Emily, help me! I found these people nearby, and they seem hurt,” Victor said.
They had some free space in their house, which was quite impressive for someone living in such a small village.
Arthur could not express how much grateful he felt toward the man.
Also, his wives were still unconscious, which made everything harder. It was unlucky that he fell on that planet, but also lucky that he fell close to such good people.
“Don’t think about repaying, but recovering. I did not do this for prizes,” Victor said, leaving the room afterward.
Then he returned to his bed, falling asleep in a few minutes.
Everyone in that village was talking about the mysterious people that Victor rescued the other night. It was rare for them to have any visitors.
“Impossible, right?”
“Good morning,” Emily said the moment she saw Arthur coming out of the bedroom.
Emily’s son, the one that went to the army two years ago, was also young, so the youthful face of Arthur reminded her of her son, and that is why she was so caring.
With a sleepy face, Arthur said, “good morning, Emily. And thank you.”
Still, absorbing the life essence of others would still grant him some perks, but eating normal food was not something impossible for him, and it actually tasted good.
She was only 11 years old, and she was curious about the identity of the youth inside her house.
Arthur did not say a word, and then the door of their house opened. It was Victor, returning with some more meat for the family. Beside him, there was an enormous wolf!
Arthur remembered that the first time he arrived at that universe, mages had familiars beside them, but as they got stronger, those familiars returned to the mage’s mana core.
“Rufus!” Tracy said, running toward the wolf to hug him.
“You are awake? Eat. You need to recover your strength, and you can help me with the farm later,” Victor said.
“I will, absolutely,” Arthur said, smiling, happy to repay some of the kindness he received from that family.
Arthur almost choked on his breakfast. He was not something like a fallen god, but he had a tab in his system that allowed people to worship him, and that gave him an idea.
“This is the perfect opportunity to make them worship me, the new dragon god!”
