Legacy World 6.16 A Vulnerable Moment
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56As the days passed by uneventfully, Naoko caught on to Aimi's strategy. She was slowly but surely adopting Naoko's ways. The things she did. The way she dressed, behaved, and expressed herself. She even expressed an interest in the martial arts that Naoko practiced, then learnt it by herself through the web. However, with the knowledge that Aimi was a fellow transmigrator, Naoko was willing to bet that she definitely had prior experience and knowledge. The way she moved was far too natural. Nonetheless, it was increasingly frustrating for Naoko to witness how everything Aimi did, Aimi did and looked better. It was a painful reminder of how she would never amount to much. The others had only shown a brief and itsy-bitsy interest in martial arts until Aimi practised it too. Watching how Aimi could make the boys, including Tadashi, do things just by doing it herself made Naoko cringe. Unbeknownst to Naoko, it was merely a matter of coincidence that Tadashi expressed his interest at the

Not long after they resumed their comfortable silence in each other's embrace, there was a knock on the door. "I guess it's high time we should return." Naoko commented a little drily. "We don't need to." Tadashi tightened his hold on Naoko. [He lashed out at Aimi in front of everyone.] BaoBao grabbed the chance to fill her in on what happened with a single-line summary. Right after BaoBao said so, Aimi's voice traveled through the closed door. "Tadashi-kun... Na-chan... I'm sorry... Please, can you let me make amends?" "You can do so by leaving us alone." Tadashi harshly bit out. Naoko lightly pursed her lips, wondering how would this affect the rest of the story and journey. There was a pause before Aimi replied dejectedly, "Okay... I'll see the two of you tomorrow morning..." Naoko waited for awhile before she looked up at him and asked, "Erm... Tadashi, how long do you intend to st
Astral Odyssey: Dying Ember Legacy World 6.18 How To Help Him
Naoko considered confronting Aimi about it, but BaoBao warned her that it may not be helpful. [There's an extra restriction when hosts inhabit the body of lead roles. They have to stay in character unless changing it is needed for the scripted story to make sense. The purpose is so that the other characters do not gain an awareness, start questioning, and create further bugs in the world.] /So what you mean is... Other characters in the story cannot experience what Tadashi, or rather the familiar soul inside him, goes through?/ [Yes. That's why when there is a familiar soul transmigrating along with our host, it is taken as the host's responsibility to take that into account and manage the consequences of that or...]BaoBao fell silent. /I'll be deemed as incapable?/Naoko completed his sentence for him. [Yes...] BaoBao refrained from telling Naoko that the co
Astral Odyssey: Dying Ember Legacy World 6.19 Emergency Evacuation
Isamu and Tadashi immediately went to the pilot seats. However, the hover ship refused to follow their commands. Everything ran as per normal, they were just not taking off. Tatsuya rapidly brought up images after images of the hover ship. Finally, an image showed their hover ship being pinned to the ground by the needle sharp tails of some bugs. The parts destroyed were not crucial but enough to hold them down. "I knew their exteriors were hard but not THAT hard!" Tatsuya exclaimed in terror. They had witnessed how it got violently knocked around and out by the sand twisters without suffering a single open wound. "Abandon ship! To the mechas now!" Naoko yelled decisively when Tatsuya's mind seemed to have frozen in panic. Just then, a tail shot through the roof dangerously close to the command table. "Naoko!" A strained voice rose above all the surrounding noise and made Naoko's heart feel like it was caught in a tight grip.&n

Naoko knew that Aimi was looking down on her by throwing her this chance to turn the tide around but her throat clamped down and prevented her from saying anything.She was having second thoughts about triggering a change in Tadashi's condition.Recalling how he was earlier when they were abandoning their hover ship, the only thing she was sure of was how painful it was for him to gain awareness. The chance that the familiar soul was alright and lying dormant within that body made her unwilling to try and trigger a change."Igarashi-san?"Now that she knew what her issue was, she found her voice back. "I was just jealous of her for having everyone's attention. I started to feel left out and forgotten." Naoko chose to say things that she knew Tadashi would not like.Aimi's eyes widened slightly in surprise upon hearing the familiar words.Tadashi stared unblinkingly at her in disbelief. Suspicions rose again. Som
Astral Odyssey: Dying Ember Legacy World 6.21 Welcome Back
The couple ignored everything around them and stayed in each other's embrace until Tadashi calmed down enough. As soon as he did, his eyes were instantly drawn to the red crescents on Naoko's arm. Bruises were already forming around each crescent, almost blending together into one huge bruise. His heart wrenched all over again. He lightly brushed the sides of her small wounds and asked in a small sorry voice, "May I patch you up?""Let's first move Kobayashi-san to Ai-chan's mecha."Tadashi looked reluctant."It's more efficient that way. After that, we can stay in my mecha." Naoko gently persuaded him.Tadashi nodded obediently, then swiftly carried out the job for her. He refused to let her do anything except tagalong beside him.Somehow, she could feel Tadashi's anxiety. He was still unsettled and it got worse the closer he got to Aimi's mecha. However, they were the only ones who could transport Isamu. Hansuke and Tatusya were
Astral Odyssey: Dying Ember Legacy World 6.22 A Clean Break
They woke up with the screen shining brightly in their faces. Visibility of the area, however, improved only by a little. They could barely see the figures of the others huddled together on the ground and eating with the mechas surrounding them."It's already lunchtime." Naoko commented somewhat dryly while she got off Tadashi to stretch a little. She did not really like waking up late but she came to peace with it because Tadashi could use the rest."Did you manage to sleep well?" Tadashi, on the other hand, was only concerned that the lack of bed may affect the quality of her rest and sleep.Naoko smiled reassuringly and nodded."Let's go find the rest then." Tadashi said while he stood up.Although he said it so normally, Naoko could feel Tadashi's reluctance to leave the mecha. "We don't have to join them, I have my own rations here that we can share.""It's okay, there's something I want to tell them in person anyway." Tadashi exp
Astral Odyssey: Dying Ember Legacy World 6.23 Escaping The Death Flag
After more and more shadows of withered trees, mushrooms, and puddles, it was awhile before they saw anything different. A blurry shadow that was much smaller than the trees made an appearance. The closer they got, the more defined the edges were, and the more human-like they looked."Am I seeing things...?" Tatusya whispered out in astonishment."Then we must all be seeing things." Tadashi whispered back.Everyone nodded with similar expressions of shock, surprise, and apprehension.Naoko had not read about a creature like this in the world book and did not remember coming across something like this in the creature encyclopedia."They look like us but they're at leastTWO times our size." Hansuke whispered."Are we about to meet giants?" Tatsuya wondered aloud.While Naoko was still pondering over what they should do, Aimi suggested "I think it's better to wait for them to approach
Astral Odyssey: Dying Ember Legacy World 6.24 The Settlement Within The Fog
Everything Tadashi said matched what BaoBao had told her, except for one point. Although they were indeed treated like honoured guests, Tatsuya had requested for a large room. He thought it better to stay together in a new and unknown environment. It was only after Tadashi came to that they got put into different rooms. Tadashi refused to share a room with Aimi whom he still could not bring himself to trust. He did not want to risk being caught unaware and have something to happen to Naoko or him. When he made his discomfort known to their hospitable hosts, they quickly empathised with him and became partial towards him. Tadashi guessed that there was a slight misunderstanding based on the hostile gazes they directed towards the other four. However, he did not bother correcting anything. Naoko's safety was his first priority, he got what he wanted, and it did not look like his friends would be harmed. BaoBao could know this because Tadashi's protectiven

RenRan began napping. A lot. Souls did not need sleep, but they could choose to do so. FanHai was one of those who seemed to never catch a wink of sleep. While RenRan slept, he stayed by her side, always keeping himself busy with something. This carried on for a good time before she began to catch him with his guard lowered after waking up. ‘A while more.’ RenRan did not believe that a man like him could keep himself entertained this long and resist a cat nap with her. At this point, BaoBao cried out in frustration. There were a few times she could have slipped away because he had already fallen asleep with her! He even dared to cuddle with her. That spot was only reserved for two people! Him and the familiar soul! “Is it really too much to assist by waking her up?” He challenged the elder one. “Is it so hard for her to stay awake in a world that doesn’t need sleep?” He challenged BaoBao back. “...That’s easy for you to say.” Then, BaoBao puffed his cheeks and returned to gl
Astral Odyssey: Dying Ember Legacy World 10.6 Make Yourself Comfortable
RenRan’s eyes opened wide. No matter how hard she pushed against him or how much she pounded his chest, shoulders, or head, he persisted on. She tried to bite him, but he avoided using his tongue and skillfully moved his mouth in tandem with her attempts. With his hand cupping the back of her head, she could not break the kiss either. She was at his complete mercy. ‘I should have dropped the act earlier. This isn’t worth it!’ Fear slowly gripped her heart as she wondered how far he would take it. Then, he stopped, just as suddenly as he started. “Enough?” He grinned and meaningfully applied greater pressure on her lower back. His move made RenRan conscious of the rock hard member against her abdomen. Immediately recognising what it was, she fiercely pushed against his chest and demanded, “Okay, let me go! I’ll properly spend some time with you first!” He smiled with satisfaction. “Like I thought.” Then, he let her go. “You wouldn’t have to waste so much time and energy if you jus
Astral Odyssey: Dying Ember Legacy World 10.5 I’m Your Soulmate
RenRan’s heart jumped but she poised herself promptly, ready to grapple with whoever had manhandled her. “Why’d you run away from me? Didn't we have deal?” The somewhat familiar deep voice cleared up the situation. “I’m not running from you.” RenRan explained as she attempted to pull her arm out of his strong grip. “You know you can’t lie with this within us.” He pointed at his chest and kept on his tight smile. “You got to try harder than that to convince me.” RenRan frowned. “And I was precisely following that to find you, as agreed.” His smile gradually disappeared as his gaze dropped to study her entire body. “…You’re weaker than the last time I saw you.” RenRan had nothing to say in response. Instead, she attempted to twist her arm free again. “Even so, I’ve never heard of a compass malfunctioning because of this before.” Annoyed with his accusations, RenRan tuned in
Astral Odyssey: Dying Ember Legacy World 10.4 What’s My Dream
RenRan headed for a condensed group of swirling sparkles that was just a little larger than her. ‘So, my mission is to achieve my dream no matter the cost. What’s my dream? To find YingTao? No, I’ll definitely find him. It’s just a matter of time. Then, I’ll find out that YingTao doesn’t want me anymore. And I’ll want him back...’ RenRan thought of everything that had happened in RenRan’s life. ‘I can only hope that her dream’s that simple...’ She began to think of all her misdemeanors, then ways to right her wrongs. [I should stop you right there. If it wasn’t clear enough before, as long as you’re in the story scenes, you’re supposed to do and say all the things the original character did.] ‘What? You didn’t say that earlier.’ [I mentioned earlier that it's risky to provoke this world’s consciousness into doing anything. So, we can only observe this world. What do you think this mea
Astral Odyssey: Dying Ember Legacy World 10.3 Damsel in Distress
Luna was right. She had inhabited Luo RenRan’s body. RenRan’s family belonged to the working class, but her gripe was not their standard of living, it was her parents’ favourtism for her brothers. She was the only girl, and she was the oldest. Anything her brothers did, she was responsible for. Any wrong they committed, they were let off with a more lenient punishment, while she was supposed to forgive and forget. Their expectations for her and the restrictions they imposed on her could not be compared to the standards they held her brothers against. The only solace she had was that her siblings never directly crossed her line, even when she was old enough to start working. If only it stayed that way forever. “RenRan... Forgive your brother, okay? You know he only took it because he needed it and only you can help him. If you have someone you need to blame, blame your father.” A gentle motherly voice coaxed her. “If your father helped, none of us would be
Astral Odyssey: Dying Ember Legacy World 10.2 What Am I Doing Here
“Wh- What am I doing here?” BaoBao looked around in shock. He recognised this place. The last time he was here, it was to defend Luna. “Why am I back here?”The elder one sighed. “Why did you do it?”“D- Do what?”Gasps were heard around him.“It lies.”“It truly deceives.”“Surely, that’s bad.”“This can’t go on.”“It’s always this one system.”“Clearly there’s something wrong with it.”All the administration looked at the elder one, waiting for the go ahead. The elder one looked at BaoBao so intensely as if BaoBao was a specimen under his microscope. BaoBao gulped. He felt exposed. What was with this elder one? Whatever the case, Luna had already been sent to the next world. He could not dilly dall
Astral Odyssey: Dying Ember Legacy World 10.1 Not Again
“Don’t ignore me! I know you’re awake!” Someone pushed Luna’s shoulder hard. Her eyes flew open, and a purple and black galaxy unfolded before her. Her bottom left whatever she had been sitting on, but she did not fall. There was a resistance that made her body glide instead. Luna blinked a few times, stunned. "I dare you to say it again.” The same voice challenged her. Luna turned towards the source. There it was again. The sensation when she moved was familiar. However, she had no time to make sense of it. The deep voice belonged to a burly woman, instead of a man like Luna had assumed, not that it made anything better. Her guest looked as friendly as a starving lioness. Luna straightened her neat celestial-like robes while she quickly collected her thoughts. It shimmered and shone brighter than the glow emanating from her body. The fabric was so silky to touch that it was like water. Although it was transluc

“LUNA!” BaoBao jumped onto her. Luna grunted from the impact. It reminded her of how much he had grown from the first time she met him. ‘How is he so weightless but so heavy at the same time?’ “Hi BaoBao,” she laughed lightly, “Is this your new way of sending me to the next world?” “Huh?! No, no! It’s far too soon to be sending you to the next world, isn’t it?!” Luna laughed even more. “I was just teasing.” BaoBao blinked innocently. “Oh.” Luna looked at him endearingly. “You’re still so much like a kid.” She rubbed the top of his head lovingly. “Don’t systems live for eternity, if nothing goes wrong?” “Mmhm, what about it?” “It still felt that long to you?” “YES!” BaoBao confirmed without a second thought. Luna laughed. “Let’s spend some time together before heading to the next world.” BaoBao’s heart warmed and h

Nozomi closed her eyes and thought hard about his request. It did not feel right or good to take his years, but she had no right to dictate how he should live his life.‘Since he’s really fine with it...’Nozomi pushed her hands forward to cup his cheeks. “Okay...”Hikaru’s eyes brightened up. He promptly retrieved his book and readied himself. Nozomi watched Hikaru activate his magic with interest. The way his book’s ribbon splits and transforms into a robe and staff never got old. “Thank you, for going along with my wishes.” His heartfelt gratitude was reflected in his eyes as well. Nozomi smiled in understanding and squeezed his hands that were once again holding onto hers. Hikaru closed his eyes and focused on her presence, then said the incantation that he had memorised by then.Green glowing vine marks appeared
