The disappearance of the girl from Utoms Village seemed related to the disappearance of the Uduma Desert.Adrian came up with a theory. If the Creator was controlling everything and had the power to reset all memories, time, and living beings, they would have done so a long time ago. Humans, unable to apprehend such events, simply thought of them as unresolved mysteries. So if such mysteries were to be gathered, would they show that the Creator was behind it all?The fact that this person had reset the Uduma Desert must mean that something similar had happened in the past. It could have been a single person or an entire area. In any case, it would not be difficult to understand how the reset worked if it had already happened before.Utoms Village was to the Northwest of Rondom. The village was blessed with warm weather all year round, so the top occupation in the village was farming. Information about the Utoms farms could be found all over the Internet. Adrian and Rozi headed ove
But Rozi was afraid to ask Adrian the questions she had on her mind. After all, she would not know where to go if Adrian was not guiding her.To modern people, Rozi was an ancient relic that should have died a long time ago. Yet, she was still alive and kicking."You said you know of someone who was changed by the meteorites like me. Strider, was it?" Adrian nodded. "He's an apprentice of mine. He's nineteen this year and has gone through similar changes as you. There might come a day where he’ll fall asleep for more than a thousand years too.""The meteorites still exist… The thought of that is terrifying. Can I meet with Strider if chance allows?""Sure, I'll arrange a meeting with him after we've gathered some info."Rozi turned to gaze out of the window.Sensing what might be on her mind, Adrian asked, "Are you wondering what became of your country?" Rozi had not expected Adrian to figure out what she was thinking. She nodded and said, "Yeah. I don’t know what happened af
The pair soon arrived at Utoms.The village’s fields were planted with all manner of fruits and vegetables, and farmers were busily tending to the plots. There was a shed built above the grasslands near the farm, with a tractor parked outside. A middle-aged woman was cutting down the overgrown grass outside the shed when Adrian pulled to a stop nearby."We're here.""Can I change out of this damn thing?" Rozi tugged at her dress. Most womenswear of this time had pretty low necklines.Adrian smiled wryly, "You'll get used to it."Rozi frowned and stepped out of the car.The middle-aged woman looked at them curiously as they approached. Adrian walked up to her and said, "Excuse me, ma’am. We're from Novemton and would like to meet this farm's chief."The Navillian in Movia was slightly different from that in Novemton, but the woman could understand what Adrian was saying."You're a Novemtoner?" Adrian nodded. Rozi blushed when she saw the woman sizing her up. She placed her
“He went mad?" Adrian was startled by this unexpected discovery. Michelin sighed. "He did. Since the local authorities failed to locate his daughter, some say he murdered her. After her disappearance, he dove into looking for her. One day, he suddenly started talking gibberish. Everyone thought he had gone mad.""What sort of gibberish?" Adrian asked. "I once heard him saying how he saw the end, that someone had taken his daughter to a different place. He also said we're all going to die since that person is always watching us.""That person?" Adrian muttered."Yeah, he's always talking about “that person” and saying that person is watching us from the sky. He said that person is capable of wiping us out whenever angered. Anyway, it’s all ridiculous."It sounded ridiculous to Michelin and the other locals, but it was extremely shocking news for Adrian. This man knew of the Creator?'Rozi whispered, "We have to find him. I'm sure he knows something."Adrian nodded. "Could you
Adrian and Rozi headed toward Sven's eerily quiet residence. After sizing the place up for a while, Adrian said, "Let's take a look inside.”Rozi hesitated, observing the house intently. She said, "Something is off about this place. It feels strange here."As Rozi was a lot more observant than him, Adrian took her words seriously. There was an unusable car out front with a layer of moss growing over it, and the house looked like it had been empty for a long time.Adrian nodded and pushed open the door. There was some furniture inside, but the tables and couch had all manner of items piled on them. The house reeked as well. It smelled like trash that had been left out to ferment, coupled with the smell of a musty, damp house that had not been cleaned in a very long time."Nobody's here."Aside from the living room being a mess, Adrian did not see anything out of the ordinary. The doors throughout the living room were wide open, revealing a washroom and a kitchen, but there was nobo
Redemption. Reset. Time. Memories. That person. Everything."What does it say?" Rozi asked. She could not read the words as the writing was different from what was used back in her time."It says redemption, reset, time, memories, that person, and everything. Looks like Sven does know of the Creator’s existence."Rozi said, "Regardless of the era or generation, as long as humanity exists, someone will eventually realize the Creator's existence. I'm sure we'll be able to find the person if we can gather everyone who knows of them." She believed she had made the right call. The Creator managed to stay at large since many have had their memories reset.At that moment, Adrian was even more sure Sven was the man he needed to find. As he got up to go through the documents on the desk, a voice said from behind them, "Hold it right there. Put your hands up where I can see them, or I'll shoot."Cooperatively, Adrian and Rozi raised their hands and turned around slowly. Standing before th
Sven was stunned to hear what Adrian just said. In disbelief, he grabbed Adrian's hand and said excitedly, "You've experienced a reset too? That person reset the Uduma Desert because they were trying to kill you?"Adrian nodded. "Oh my God!" Sven yelled with his head raised toward the sky.Nobody had believed Sven in the past thirty years. Yet, on this very day, he finally found someone who not only believed him but had also experienced it themselves.In his excitement, Sven's tears fell. It took a while before he gained control over his emotions and wiped away his tears. Adrian said, " Calm down, Sven. I'd like to understand more about your daughter's disappearance. In the meantime, we can take our time talking about your findings. We've got all the time we need.""Okay.” Sven took a deep breath and continued, "Let's talk outside."Adrian nodded and followed him upstairs, with Rozi quietly trailing behind them. Since Sven's house was rather filthy, he brought the couple out t
Rozi was a Novemtoner, but one who was a thousand and two hundred years old.Sven asked nothing more about the matter and poured the pair some beer before pouring one for himself. Sven loved beer, so he was quick to chug his drink. Rozi's eyes widened when she saw how much Sven enjoyed himself. She shot a curious glance at him, wondering what sort of drink he just had to make him feel so ecstatic. "What’s this?" Rozi turned to ask Adrian."A type of sweet drink," Adrian replied with a smile. He picked up Rozi's glass and asked, "Would you like to try some? It's the sweetest drink of the twenty-first century. I'm sure you'll love it."Rozi had drunk sweet stuff before, but this was her first time coming across one not from her time. She took a small sip and instantly spat it out. Covering her mouth, she glared at Adrian and said, "You lied to me!" Adrian answered Rozi's murderous glare with a grin. Rozi had not been able to understand what Sven had said before due to the differen
