Agatha The Legendary Guild Master

"Sorry princess, long speech is an old habit of mine. Why you? It's simple.

This witch prophesied her reincarnation will be a magician that changes her profession later on. She stated clearly that her reincarnation will be born in a small nation with a prophecy of her.

Her prophecy will make her move to the local strongest power. When she reaches there, she will immediately drop anything and join that power training program.

She prophesied she would acquire a very rare position that would threaten all the nobles. She prophesied her reincarnation would be killed so many times by the number of her innocent victims.

She prophesied when she paid all her debts, she would be free from this misery. She prophesied she will be freed by an exiled prince that was cursed. All these conditions apply to you specifically Agatha."

I felt stupid. This prophecy was describing my whole life. Was I really that witch reincarnation?

"What do you mean by reincarnation?"

"Reincarnation means when you die, your soul enters the reincarnation cycle. There you should return to life again in a different body in a random time and location.

I don't know how you knew the details about your reincarnation back then. But I can confirm to you that this prophecy is right."

I fell silent thinking about his words. Although I didn't fully understand his words, I kind of understood my current situation. What was missing was single info which I asked about writing:

"If what you said is true, then why is everyone trying to kill me? Was I that bad back in my days?"

"Bad? Bad is a kind word to describe your previous reign. You were such a terrifying existence that your name alone would cause anyone to be petrified.

If anyone met you then he would die from horror. You were a nightmare back then Agatha."

I felt he was talking about someone else, not I. I wasn't that horrifying existence.

"Then they are trying to get revenge from me? Are they afraid of what I will become?"

"Your second guess is the closest to the right answer. They are afraid of what you will become in the future. But they aren't afraid of your bloodthirsty nature."

"Really? Then from what they are afraid of?"

"They are afraid of your identity."

"My identity? They are afraid of me returning to be a witch again?"

"No, this profession was unique only to you. You won't have it again."

I felt confused. They weren't afraid of my brutal nature but afraid of my identity. Are they afraid of my Guild Master rank? That would be impossible.

"There is a deep history of our universe. Out big universe isn't the only universe as there are countless universes like us. Universes are stratified into different layers.

You must know about the existence of smaller universes inside our universe. Our universe is like these small universes to the people out there. But there is a rule that regulates this mess.

For example, these smaller universes here are ruled by strong kingdoms and empires. Out there, the rule is different. People have the power to control universes like ours.

These strong individuals hold the name of the guardian. You were our guardian back then. They are afraid of you regaining your freedom and acquiring your true position."

Although his words became more vague and mysterious, I understood how special I was.

"Why will they be afraid of me getting back what was originally mine?"

"This is actually another story."

"I want to hear it all."

I showed him my resolve as I told him this sentence loud enough to hear it. He sighed then explained in written words:

"Do you remember when I told you about my story? I told you about a calamity that befell my Empire and destroyed it."

"Yes, I remember."

"That calamity originated from a very weak kingdom that turned in one night to be a very terrifying existence.

They then began to swallow all the surrounding kingdoms and turned itself in a few years to a new powerful Empire. They then started to hit other Empires and destroy them.

My Empire didn't escape this calamity. Although it will happen a couple of thousands of years later, that calamity was unstoppable."

I felt sympathy for his Empire. He was so loyal that I suspected he was the emperor of this Empire.

"What that sad story has with me?"

"It has a direct relation to you. When my empire got destroyed, I ran away and started to find a solution to change everything. What I noticed was the strange power of this new Empire.

This power wasn't from this universe. When I searched deep I found the info I just told you, also I found more. You were similar to this new Empire, as each one of you showed unique power that has no equal here.

So I concluded that they got their power from outside this universe. That was when I discovered your existence and began to dig deeper about any info related to you and your background. Then I found the truth."

I said loudly with impatience:

"What did you find? Just tell me directly!"

"I'm sorry, I can't hold myself. What I found was that when a guardian dies, his universes become open to anyone who wants to control them.

But this universe was unique. You chose it to reincarnate. That gave protection to our universe. The only situation for a foreign force to control here was to kill you permanently.

That's why they controlled a weak kingdom and turned it into a huge Empire. Ironically, you also prophesied that."

"Really? What did I say in this prophecy then? Why don't you tell me all the details about this prophecy?"

"You said that when you reincarnate you will get targeted by some foreign power that is equal to you. You said that this power will try to kill you desperately, and it will succeed in the end."

"Really? If this was true, then why should I struggle?"

"You must struggle! No one can stop this foreign power except you!"

"How can I stop it while I am dead?"

"You said that your own prophecy when you will get reincarnated will determine how you will stop it. Did your prophecy say something about this?"

I fell into silence. I knew a lot about my prophecy, as I always lived trying to escape it. But I really didn't know the full version of it. When I thought about it now, it felt weird.

Why didn't my father tell me the whole prophecy? He only promised to tell me everything when I became stronger. That was really weird.

"I don't know the full prophecy."

"You are kidding, right?"

"No, I'm telling you the truth. My father refused to tell it to me as it was a taboo."

Shin fell into silence as if he was thinking about this problem. He seemed to build everything upon this prophecy.

"Let's not talk about it for now. I want to ask, has this foreign power invaded the noble class of your Empire?"

He looked sad as he said:

"Unfortunately yes."

"Then we should turn the table on them. We should kill them here and out there."

"That will be a big challenge for us."

"Why are you saying that? Look around you, our army is getting bigger."

He smiled calmly and said:

"You are a commander and you know well that any new army needs time to be melted together as one entity. Our army needs time Agatha."

This wasn't a problem for me. The problem of Shin was that he was controlled by his many experiences in this time loop so he was trying to accommodate the circumstances.

I was different; I would challenge these circumstances and break all the ropes around me. I already had a plan in my mind. I asked in confidence:

"Tell me how much time do you need?"

"Do you have a solution?"

"You can say that."

"I need at least 14 days to be ready for them. Why do I feel your version this time is very different from previous you? Will this be your last time in this torture? Have you already paid your debt?"

I laughed and replied:

"I don't know anything. By the way, what was the name of this witch?"

He smiled and wrote:

"She was called: Agatha the bloodthirsty witch."

"What? You must be kidding."

"No, I'm speaking seriously. She had the same name as you."

"That's weird but I like it. Then I will call myself: Agatha the bloodthirsty Mecha warrior."

"Mecha warrior? Why Mecha warrior? There is no such class in this game."

"Then I will create it myself. I loved those strong awesome looking Mechas which I saw here at your Empire. I will build my colossal Mecha and will make it hold a big lance in his hands. Not only that I will create my own colossal Mecha warriors legion too."

We laughed together. Although we were laughing, we were burdened with heavy shackles, at least that is what I felt. All these schemes and that massive secret history and my previous self made me feel irritated and anxious.

I would ignore all of that, I was just Agatha. I would be only myself and wouldn't let anyone control me.

I pictured myself riding a huge silver red Mecha, holding a long lance in my hand and walking like an indomitable ruler and my enemies' blood was covering all my Mecha's body to feel a huge shiver from my excitement.

I loved myself as this Mecha warrior. I firmed my resolve; I would work hard to achieve that awesome picture in my mind. I would be the bloodthirsty Mecha warrior that each one feared.
