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
Adrian had been right there when it all happened.Everyone was curious about what had happened to the desert. Gloria pondered for a moment, then asked, "Why would Adrian want to know about Mount Thunder? Also, I don't recall a mountain by that name. What's he trying to do?""I don't know, he didn't tell me. But he said it's really important and that he's waiting for me to get back to him," Mya said. "He wouldn't ask something out of the blue, so he must have his reasons. Mya, you should quickly help him look into this mountain he's looking for," Samantha said. Mya nodded, then sighed. "I know the world map by heart, but I can’t recall there being a Mount Thunder. I've never heard of it before."Gloria fell silent, believing Adrian must have his own reasons for wanting to investigate the place. One thing was for certain. As the former legate of Wyvern Peak, he must have memorized the world map too, so he definitely knew that Mount Thunder did not exist. However, he still insist
After asking a few students for directions, Mya arrived at a hall where Cormac was currently giving a lecture.He put down his book when he noticed Mya by the door and said, "I have some matters to attend to, everyone. Please revise the notes from today.” He approached Mya. "Mya, right? You're the female soldier from Wyvern Peak who was by War Legate Draco's side."The student glanced at her curiously. Mya's appearance had garnered a lot of attention."Isn't that Mya Dean? She's War Legate Draco's confidant.""I've seen her on television before. She really is gorgeous.”"I agree. And a powerful woman too. Just the kind I like."Cormac shut the door upon hearing the chatter inside the hall"Professor Cormac, there's a location I'd like to ask you about."He nodded and gestured. "Let's talk in my office.""Lead the way.”Upon arriving at his office, Cormac poured Mya a cup of tea. He then sat down and asked, "What is the name of the place you’d like to know about, Ms. Mya?""D
Most of these myths were derived from actual events, though the truth may have been twisted or exaggerated a little.Mya anxiously asked, "Did the book say anything else about the mountain? For example, where it’s located or what it looks like?""It's said that the Celestial Lake is located at the top of this mountain. I thought it was Chaos Mountain, but that later changed as the book also says the mountain isn't in Navia.""Who's the author of this book?""Hannibal Hurst.”"Hannibal? It’s that name again.”Mya was shocked. In the past, Hannibal's Heroes of Wyvern Peak was the source of a ruckus instigated by the outlanders. Now, he was found to also be related to Mount Thunder."It sounds like you know this man, Ms. Mya," Cormac commented.Mya nodded. "He was one of those who helped found Wyvern Peak. He also prophesied that War Legate Draco would come into power. He's part of the reason the showdown between Internal Affairs and Wyvern Peak happened.""I didn’t know that!" C
