“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
Adrian asked, "You came to the conclusion that the world is being reset over and over based on this?"According to Sven, other women from Movia had also disappeared in a similar fashion. This made Sven and the others believe it was the Creator who took them away. In ancient times, emperors would take away beautiful women for their personal needs. This made the situation more understandable. Sven nodded. "In all the cases, the ones who disappeared were all beautiful women. They were all taken to accompany that person."How Sven had come to this conclusion was different from Adrian's, yet similar in some ways. If the Creator existed, it was highly possible for them to search for beautiful women to serve them.Based on the fact that Sven said his daughter was split into countless fragments before turning into light and vanishing into the sky, Adrian deduced that Chanel’s disappearance and the reset of Enigma City and the Uduma Desert were very similar. "Adrian, you said you experie
Adrian realized she was unhappy about what happened earlier. Smiling, he said, "It's only normal since we were speaking in a different slang from what you’re used to. I’ll explain it to you now.""What did that old man say?" Rozi asked. "He said there were dark clouds and thunder strikes when his Chanel disappeared. Her body was split into countless fragments before heading up to the sky in the form of light particles," Adrian repeated what Sven had told him.Rozi was shocked. "Her body was turned into countless fragments? Is he sure she wasn't struck by lightning?"Adrian was slightly taken aback. "Did people get struck by lightning back in your time?"Immediately after saying this, he thought that humans being struck by lightning should have been a common occurrence since technology was not as advanced then. He said, "I don't think so. Sven said this didn’t only happen to Chanel, and Movia is a low-altitude area, so such a thing shouldn't be common. I believe he's telling the t
Mount Thunder was from Rozi's era. At the time, it was known as a mountain for immortals. Countless people climbed up the summit in hopes of becoming immortals. As time passed, not many records of the summit survived and the mountain was erased from historical records.Adrian smiled wryly. "Mount Thunder doesn't exist based on my knowledge, so the Celestial Lake you once saw probably no longer exists either."Rozi frowned. Mount Thunder clearly had been reset."The Creator moved it. I think everything I saw in the past only happened because they wanted me to see it. I don't know what they want, but I get the feeling it isn't anything good."Rozi seemed anxious. First, she was unaware when she or her memories would be reset. Secondly, she was unable to figure out what the Creator wanted to do or wanted her to see. Everything came with unknown factors. After a long moment of silence, Rozi looked at Adrian and asked, "What should we do now? We have no more leads to work with. I thin
