nKnowing that Esther Dawn and Mayonaka Yoru’s soul connection had been severed meant only one thing: they had died, just like Conri Lycaon and Athan Vladimir. But they couldn’t figure out when the two of them died and why they couldn’t remember anything. The rest of them didn’t understand what had happened until Instructor Keylan Light told them. However, the truth stunned them. Keylan Light explained everything to the kids. Conri Lycaon knew most of it, but he had no idea what happened after he died and before he was revived.
n“Actually, I don’t even know who or what kind of entity the being took over Athan Vladimir’s vessel. But this being tried to escape only to be noticed by Conri and stopped him from leaving. It was at that time that he lost his temper no… more like he became a lunatic that not only looked down on the weak but also felt excitement when he was surrounded by fear or pain.”
n“But just before he killed Conri, Lord Skoll appeared. I do not know the content of their conversation and only heard the taunts from that being as he talks with Lord Skoll. After successfully pissing off Lord Skoll, he completely lost his temper accidentally… Destroyed the world? His aura was too overbearing for the weak ones and was accidental. So everyone in the dormitory died and as the world was fragmenting I guess everything in our world also died in the process.”
n“We tried to beg him to stop destroying things and wanted to calm his rage. Unfortunately, he paid no attention to us. Only when the Headmaster appeared that he calmed down and was commanded by the Headmaster to revert everything to normal. So in short, aside from the Gods, all others were killed. So in order to follow the command of the Headmaster, Lord Skoll reversed the time to the timeline when everyone is alive except for that being possessing Athan Vladimir’s body.”
nThe students except for the ones who had experienced the event itself were all staring at Keylan Light as if they heard an absurdly well-rounded story that can even be written in a book.
nA bit confused, Keylan Light asked, “What’s wrong? Did I say something weird?”
nThoughts of Asher Light and the other three, ‘Everything you’ve just said sounds ridiculous okay?!’
nThey can only shift their gaze from Conri Lycaon to their Instructor. Even Athan Vladimir was perplexed because he didn’t know or see what happened when the world was destroyed. He was shielded by Keylan Light’s Domain, and even after the world ended outside the temple, he felt nothing.
nConri Lycaon, as if reading their thoughts, said, “It’s real. Lord Skoll is indeed a God capable of destroying worlds. I saw him kill that entity and experienced the world tremble. It wasn’t an ordinary earthquake but a tremor that even affected the sky with cracks forming that can be seen with the naked eye.”
n“Though I know something weird was going on when the king had started living with the Progenitor of Blood. Then? Is there a way to get back our soul connection? Is it in this place?” Mayonaka Yoru asked.
nConri Lycaon answered, “We need to meet the Beast God of this world and ask for his blessing. To do that we need to have a Mateship Ceremony in this world.”
n“Beast God? Mateship Ceremony? Wait! I understand you guys want to get back your connection with your Lunas but… Why am I and Amy here?” Asher Light asked.
nAmber Dawn, who was standing next to him, was also perplexed. She was transported to another world after being transmigrated back to the world of vampires, werewolves, and humans. As an atheist, she never believed in Gods or the existence of parallel worlds. She didn’t believe in Transmigration until she awoke in this body. But to say they were transported into another dimension in her current body? This is simply… absurd.
nKeylan Light answered his question, “You wanted your girl to remain in her body right? When our world was reversed her connection to that body was also cut off. If you don’t have a soul connection with someone originally born to our world she can’t stay as well. Her soul was originally born from somewhere else after all.”
nThe words of Keylan Light left some bewildered but Conri Lycaon and Asher Light who knew the truth about the current Amber Dawn’s Identity were silent Esther Dawn cannot believe what he just heard and even Mayonaka Yoru is frowning.
nEsther Dawn asked, “What do you mean by… Born somewhere else? My younger sister was born in our world. I saw her born with my own eyes, what nonsense are you talking about?”
n“You speak about possession before Athan’s body was taken over. Don’t tell me… The soul that is currently inside Amber Dawn isn’t the original one?” Mayonaka Yoru asked as he glanced at his younger brother.
nAsher Light became defensive, drawing Amber Dawn behind him for protection. After all, Esther Dawn’s appearance is truly deplorable. He was practically glaring at Asher Light and Amber Dawn. He realized that the Amber Dawn he had met after such a long time was not the Amber Dawn he had known as a child. How can he fail to notice why his timid sister suddenly becomes confident and fearless?
nEsther Dawn asked, “Are you… Are you not really my Amber Dawn?”
n“I’m sorry, bro… I’m sorry. I also don’t know why I woke up in this body. When I woke up, I opened my eyes to see this body bathing in the tub which… the water had turned red. That’s all I know. The memories of this body had long disappeared from my mind. I can no longer recall anything about her. I’m sorry.” Amber Dawn said.
nEsther Dawn’s mood darkened when he heard these words. This only meant that his younger sister had most likely committed suicide, which is why when the current Amber Dawn awoke, she punished those parasitic relatives of theirs and threw them all in jail, preventing them from leaving.
n“Don’t say sorry, it wasn’t even your fault. But I need to tell our parents about it.”
n“Hm. I don’t mind.” Amber Dawn said as she didn’t even notice her voice was a bit trembling.
nAthan Vladimir, who had been silent the entire time, finally spoke up. Even though his voice was hoarse, he spoke up. Even though he wasn’t sure if these people would believe him. Only Conri Lycaon, who had been watching him and knew his true identity, smiled at him.
nConri Lycaon whispered, “No matter what you want to do I will help you with it.”
n“D-Don’t get angry at Amy. It wasn’t her fault I died. At that time, I just felt that everything was against me and… I wanted to keep our family safe so I agree with the promise of God. To remove the bad karma of our family in… In exchange for that… Amber Dawn’s vessel.” Athan Vladimir said
nThis time except for Keylan Light and Mikaela as well as Conri Lycaon, everyone was shocked when they heard Athan Vladimir’s words. This is especially true for Esther Dawn.
nEsther Dawn stares at Athan Vladimir in disbelief. “You… Hah~ When Dad was first kicked out of our house by Mom what did he do?”
n“I asked Dad for French toast but he burned our kitchen instead. That was Dad’s first time cooking.” Athan Vladimir responded as if recalling a part of the past that only he who had lived with the Dawn Family as a child can remember.
n“When you are five I bribe you with a slice of cake one morning. What did I ask you to do?”
n“Don’t tell Mom and Dad that brother peed on his bed.”
n“When you were six what did you do that made Dad spank me?”
n“I… I made Dad’s Bonsai bald and told Dad that Brother broke it with a soccer ball.”
nAthan Vladimir said, “I’m sorry. I just recently got my old memories back and Lord Skoll explained my circumstances to Conri. So I…”
nIt was at this moment that everyone in the crowd realized what was happening before their eyes. Even Amber Dawn was in disbelief she couldn’t help but stare at Athan Vladimir while Esther Dawn was so happy that he hugged Athan Vladimir.
n“It’s you. My younger sibling. You didn’t die or disappear. Amy!! I’m so glad you are still alive!” Esther Dawn said while his tears were pouring down as he hugged Athan Vladimir.
nAthan Vladimir also hugged his brother and said, “But big brother, Amy is also our sibling. After all, she and I are twins as for the reason why she got separated from us, I guess Instructor Keylan would explain it further for us.”
nEsther Dawn and Amber Dawn exclaim, “WHAT!?”
nAmber Dawn said, “I’m your sister. Your twin sister?! How is that possible!? I was born from another world!”
n“That body you used in that world is something Athan owned which we had transferred. The Heavens exchange your soul and separate you before you are born. First, because of a special reason, the heavens can’t tell you. Second, Athan’s soul is a lot weaker than yours and he can’t survive in that world alone. So we had him stay in your body why you were in him.”
n“Then at the right moment when Athan’s soul collapsed to keep him alive, we brought you back home as it was already time for you to come back. You are a destined Heroine you are fated to fight for the protection of our world. What you experienced in that other world was a trial to make you strong.” Keylan Light explained. 𝐞𝗼𝐯𝐞𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
nWhile listening to Keylan Light’s explanation, the Dawn Family couldn’t help but become enraged, especially Amber Dawn, who had lived her life in misery. With no one on her side, no family, no friends, and forced to make a living by murdering people, she was alone.
n“Don’t you think it is very unfair for me?! Why do I have to be the one to get sent into the other world!?”
nAmber Dawn yelled, her eyes filled with rage and sadness. She couldn’t understand why she had to grow up in poverty, alone, and estranged from her family. After all, it is a distance between two worlds, so the separation was not easy. She wasn’t even in the same universe as her parents or siblings.
nKeylan Light frowned yet felt confused but before he could speak Mikaela who just finished healing himself spoke up. “I don’t get why you are angry. That time before you are born I made you and your twin a choice. It was supposed to be your twin. You should be sent there in that world you came from. But it was also you who volunteered to take your twin’s place. After all, at that time Athan’s soul was so weak that he is almost eaten by you while you are in the womb of your mother.”
nEsther Dawn as if recalling something covered his mouth in incredulity. Mayonaka Yoru noticed his weird reaction and asked, “Is there something wrong, Este-chan?”
n“I remember before Amy was born… The doctor told us Mom is having a twin but the smaller child was too weak and the doctor already warned our parents about the possibility of losing one child while in the womb. It suddenly disappeared one day and the doctors thought the other twin was eaten as expected. But it seems that wasn’t what happened at all…” Esther Dawn said as he glanced at his siblings and the God-like man beside Instructor Keylan Light.
nAmber Dawn was in disbelief, “I… I did? But… I don’t remember…”
n“You won’t because I sealed those memories of yours. Because those memories would only be painful for you who have to live in that other world on your own. I will return your memory as a baby now.” Mikaela said as he suddenly appeared in front of Amber and placed his hand on her head passing her forgotten memories.
