NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1441: Dream 2
-----
"You're my child, and then you and your siblings created an incarnation of me, which then became you once more. You are me and I am you, and yet, we are different. This is the cycle of creation."
"W-What? I don't get it…"
"One day you will… Your Soul Metamorphosis has made you much weaker than before, but now that you carry the Legacy of your child within you, you have an even greater talent than ever before."
"Talent? My child? But I-"
"The cycle continues, the souls come back to me, and then they leave once more for reincarnation, you and your siblings were no exception. In the great scheme of things, nothing was."
"You know… about the System, by any means?"
"The System?"
"Do you know where it came from?"
I might as well ask that now that I'm here!
After that last vision I saw where Gaia was left alone as the entire world of Arcadia was destroyed…
Yeah, that vision I saw in the Rivers of Time.
I want to know why that glistening light appeared, and where did that System come from.
I think that silver light… was it related to it?
"Do you know what it is? What happened to Arcadia? Why is it the way it is now? Why is Time so messed up? Beings from the past, present, and future living together…"
"Time isn't as linear as you imagine. It goes everywhere, it interlinks at times, giving you the illusion it is linear. However, it is much deeper than that."
"Eh?"
"The future and the past, they live alongside the present, it is a beautiful harmony of love and tragedy."
"...I don't get it!"
"You will do so one day."
This tree is sure making me a bit angry right now!
I just can't even get a single answer from her and-
"The System you asked about before… I do not know it."
"…You don't?"
"I don't."
"T-Then where did it come from? Wait, what am I even asking right now?"
"Most likely it came from The Outside."
"What's… that?"
"What else but Outside of Existence?"
"…?!"
I didn't even understand well what she said, but "Outside of Existence" sounds really quite… dramatic.
So where we live is "Existence" and what's outside of it…
What's that?
The System came from there?
So it is not artificially created?
Or maybe it is?!
I don't get it!
"Looks like your visit was brief… I wish you good luck with your endeavors, my dear, foolish, and kindhearted daughter. The most kind of them all."
I saw my own body beginning to disappear.
"W-Wait! I want to ask so many things!"
"There's no time, I'm afraid."
"But…!"
"Despite what you've seen and experienced, this is nothing but a small fragment of the truth… But let me tell you one thing, my daughter. You and those that accompany you… might be the only ones that could grow to the point to face him."
"Him?"
"The Ultimate End."
"Y-You mean the Demon King of the End?!"
"Something worse than him."
"W-Wha…?!"
"The Fragmentation of Time has caused a paradox, converging timelines have created something even worse than before, something much more malicious. The embodiment of the end, everything reaches an end, and so, since the moment my inexistence came to exist, I realized I would end by his hand."
"It's… predestined?! But you're the one that connects it all, if you die then…"
"It is fate or destiny, perhaps both or none. But I know one thing. You are also the product of these fragmentations of time and the distorted result is also your home."
"You mean Earth?"
"A refuge for the fallen, but also a breeding ground for malice. You must balance your life between both worlds. Be careful, ignoring a world for too long would only let malice grow stronger." Find more chapters on My Virtual Library Empire
"D-Do I have to do it all myself? I'm so tired!"
"You will never be alone, that, I can assure you. Go rest for now. Don't think about what hasn't happened. Relax, and make your life worth living. Only then will you have the motivation and strength to fight for it."
As I disappeared, I quickly woke up.
The memories of what I experienced felt much blurrier than before, and at some point I forgot big chunks of that.
But I quickly wrote everything down to not forget it completely.
Though, even then, it looked like a mess.
"Aaah… What a mess."
I sighed, sitting on the bed, Mark was right there, without his shirt and only wearing boxers.
Damn…
He's built like a crick now, goddamn.
Oh wow.
"A-Ah, right…"
I shouldn't let him distract me from what I just experienced!
Why is he so erotic though?!
Dammit! He's tempting me with his erotic body!
He needs some correction!
…
SPLASH!
"Haah… Much better. Damn its hot today… Summer is slowly creeping in."
I quickly opened several windows in the house to let the air inside, the house felt like an oven with all this heat.
I yawned as I sat in front of the backyard, looking at the plants and the garden while drinking a cold coffee.
"Uwaah… I'm still so sleepy… What hour is it? Nobody's even waking up… I think we went to sleep at like 6 AM, makes sense- Ah?!"
I gasped in disbelief as I looked at my phone, it was 2:12 PM!
"N-No way… We slept too much…"
I rested over the grass for some time, as I noticed several little spirits approaching me.
Then the Fey brought me fruits.
And then Fire Bear Cubs started playing by my side, licking my face sometimes.
"Uweeh… You're cute but your breath stinks a bit… Hahah…"
"Groar!"
They were very happy anyways, and I noticed there was some meat by their side.
I think I left Kaguya with the task of their feeding; she must've feed them the meat from the monsters we hunted.
"Well, well, look who's awake. Hello Elayne."
And talking about the devil, there she was…
"Hi…"
"You don't look at all energized today… had a hard night with the man?"
"T-That's not it!"
I should've known she would crack a joke like this…
