The father of all monsters? What kind of creature did Fahima make me sign a contract with? It doesn't matter--I would figure it out later. The announcements from Fahima continued.
[Congrats, you have earned 100 qualification points.]
The kid suddenly started to jump around and sang strange words, was he happy to sign a contract with me? Or have I made an error signing a contract with this lunatic?
I can call him a kid no more now that he has become my master; I don't even know his name or why he appeared in this place.
A hundred qualification points! I didn't know how to contain my excitement and started to jump around, singing, "Hundreds of qualification points!" Then I heard the voice of Typhon.
"Master, what's your name?"
"Good question. I have no idea my name or who I am."
I see; he has no memories of who he is; the only explanation I can come up with is soul transfer. The humans must have something to do with it. They are known for using forbidden magic to bypass their limited powers, but humans can't overpower a God. It must be the Demon Gods. Let's get out of this cave before I worry about anything else.
"Master, how do we get out of--"
I was about to ask about the prison's exit, but before I could finish my sentence, the ground started to shake, and a moment later, a massive magic circle appeared. I have never seen this kind of magic before. It had no chanting; it also gave off a pleasant smell and flashed a golden color. My body felt relaxed, and I began to sleep. The sleeplessness of thousands of years started to fade away, and its place took peaceful relaxation. Before I dosed off, I heard a woman's voice .
"Typhon, You Need To Sleep"
I answered Typhon's question about my name, but he faced away from me, and about a minute later, he started to fall asleep. Then the voice of Fahima sounded in my head.
[Transportation Circle activated.]
I didn't order her to use magic, but somehow, she'd activated a magic circle; I was about to ask Fahima how she used magic, but before I could, she had already read my mind.
[The host Is the one who activated the Transportation Circle]
Uh, I did, but when did I learn how to use magic circles? Before I could ask who did what and how, the circle emitted a bright light, and the dragon vanished. I was clueless about what had happened, but my body started to fade into the magic circle, and then I too vanished into thin air.
A moment later, my body began to surface. I started to survey my surroundings, but the only thing I noticed were many black trees around me. I couldn't see Typhon, but I felt he was near me.
[Transportation Circle completed]
I'd been transported from the cave to a forest, but something didn't feel right. This place looked beautiful but dangerous.
I could feel that it was full of life, but there was no sound, not even wind blowing. It was completely silent. I started to call out for Typhon. Then, a moment later, I heard a man's voice from behind me.
"Master, I'm here."
I was expecting to find the giant dragon, but I was surprised to instead see a black human kid with blond hair and blue eyes, dressed in a black butler's uniform. I stood there staring at him. His eyes kept shutting as he yawned and said, "Master, why are you staring at me?"
"Why do you look like a human?"
"I don't know. I woke up like this, but master, you also have a human form."
He was right--my white skin color had changed into a silky, smooth brown, but that was the only change I could see.
"Typhon, could you describe my human form? I can see my skin color but nothing else."
"Master, you look a lot younger than before, and your hair went from gold to white, but your eyes still have a golden color."
Then I remembered the words of Fahima, before I'd met with the Guardian.
"Fahima, I can use the qualification points to unlock or buy anything, right?"
[The host is right. What do you wish to buy]
"My past memories."
[Confirmed. It will cost you 100 qualification points, and you might not like what you see. Do you wish to continue?]
"Yes, I want to remember."
[Confirmed. 100 qualification points have been consumed. Unlocking memories from the past.]
[Time Reversal Activated]
The master stood still, his face filled with happiness and a bit of concern, but mostly he looked happy, staring at something in front of him. Then, all of a sudden, he looked at me and said, "I will be back."
He vanished. Afterward, a golden screen with white writing appeared in front of me. I had seen a similar thing before, but this one was much bigger.
[Do You Wish To See Your Master's Past Memories?]
Wait, I could see my master's memories from the past? I was curious to know what kind of sins he had committed to end up in the River of Forgetfulness.
"Yes, I would like to."
The writing on the screen changed to a black vision; I could see the master's figure. I felt like he was right in front of me.
"Hey, strange woman, what is this?"
[My name is Fahima, and you are watching television.]
"Riveting--I've never heard of It"
I admired this weird thing that could show a moving picture of the master. Then the lady's voice sounded again.
[Time reversal completed.]
I was shocked, and stopped staring at the television. If what Fahima said was true, my master had returned to the past. Only a God of Time could manipulate time, and no other being was capable of producing time back to the past. I went back to the television, and a figure of a little boy appeared. The location he was in was weird--I had never seen so many significant buildings before. Then I saw the most beautiful thing ever: a blue sky stretching for miles.
"Fahima, what's the name of this magical world?"
[This Is planet Earth.]
