========================================================
I opened my eyes and found myself lying in the familiar yet slightly unfamiliar hut where Allen Caliber lived in the cultivation world. The wooden walls exuded a rustic charm, and the soft light filtering through the cracks created a cozy atmosphere.
'Oh, I'm back in the cultivation world.'
Even if I wanted to deny the existence of Super Earth and what I did there, I couldn't. Every bit of it felt like a dream, but I knew it was all too real. However, surprisingly, I didn't feel nauseous or numb in my body or head; instead, I felt refreshed and energetic.
Quickly getting up, I felt a bit of pain in my ass.
"Yeah! Yeah! These motherfucker Allens."
The pain reminded me of the suffering I endured in the cultivation world, but it was oddly nostalgic too.
"Haaa!" I let out a deep sigh.
"It's alright, it's bearable."
It felt bearable, I could think of the cause for this.
Pain.
Extreme Pain.
The extreme pain and suffering in the Super Earth made this pain look like child's play.
I stretched different parts of my body, feeling surprisingly refreshed despite the circumstances.
I wasn't denying the reality of how many people I killed, but my mind seemed strangely clear, almost as if the experiences in Super Earth were a distant dream, not catching up to me.
"Strange, but I'm thankful."
I felt thankful, not because I wanted to experience all that, but because there was a lingering feeling that told me I had to face those challenges somehow.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk!"
I tried to keep those negative feelings at bay.
"Umm...?"
A feeling of forgetting something lingered, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. I looked around, trying to remember what I was forgetting.
The hut was the same, with its familiar holes and hard bed, and the small earthen pot for keeping drinking water. The air felt wet, and the smell of damp soil tingled my nose, reminding me of rainy days in my village.
I noticed a few holes in the roof were leaking water, suggesting it had rained last night.
Lost in nostalgic thoughts of my rainy days in the village, the silence in the hut was suddenly broken by a charming voice.
"Master!~~~" It sounded oddly happy and enthusiastic.
It's not arrogant and haughty.
'Ahhh!' Then I finally remembered what I was forgetting.
Sia's twin sister
The less evil spirit
"Where were you till now?"
"Who?! Me master?! ~ Oh, I was at home! My home!"
"You have a home?"
'I thought they both were homeless and would be on my tail forever.'
She nodded her puny head vigorously, "Inside the system."
Her enthusiasm was on another level, and it felt contagious.
But for one, I was happy.
I felt extremely happy after seeing her, and listening to her more evil sister Sia had made me lose hope in the spirit races.
I sat down on the hard bed. There was a sudden spike of stinging pain in my ass, but it was not that harsh.
I then told her what happened when I slept, how I was in a different reality, on a planet called Super Earth, and what transpired after that.
She listened quietly from the start till the end, and I was expecting some reaction from her but...
"What happened?" I asked reflexively as I saw the look on her face.
These emotions didn't feel like they would ever appear in her.
Dark lines were appearing all over her head, and her face was tilting down, her lime-coloured eyes which usually radiated even in the darkest moments now seemed to be turning purple...
All in all, she looked... depressed.
"Spirit what happened?" I asked again in confusion and anxiety.
"N.o.t.h.i.n.g. Master." Her voice sounded depressed in depression.
"Ehh!" I had an awkward look on my face.
It took her an eternity to say the word 'nothing'.
I was to believe that nothing happened.
'I had it enough; these sisters would make me go crazy.'
Though they had different ways of speaking and different attitudes, they both still annoyed me.
My awkward expression shifted to a 'nothing happened' expression.
Seeing this, the gloominess around Spirit deepened, and as if bubbles of tears were forming in her eyes...
"Waaa! Waaa! Ma-wa-ster~~"
Oh, here we go!
Bubbles of tears were not just forming, but heavy droplets of tears began falling from her eyes.
However, there was no change in my expression, as she told me 'Nothing happened.'
Seeing this, she began wailing even more.
"Waaa! Ma-wa-ster~~ y-you Waaa!! You gave her name the first time you met her, but not me."
Fighting through her snorts and tears, she finally spoke a complete sentence.
'What the?'
I take back all my words.
No, now I didn't feel any bit happy seeing this spirit again.
The hell?
Crying over nam...
'Shit!'
Yeah! I get it.
I somehow connected to that feeling and felt that. Because for me, I too had cried when I didn't get the last name so...
I spent more than 5 seconds and now.
"Wow! Wow! Master!~ What a perfect name you gave! I love it! It even resembles my sis."
I had the 'best awkward expression goes to me' type of expression.
There were two reasons for that: one being the name I gave her wasn't even innovative and I didn't even put in the effort, however, that name still made her dance in joy and circle around me. The second reason being... effortlessly!
How effortlessly her gloomy mood shifted to a cheerful one, even I didn't realize.
'Wow, that's some talent she's got there.'
Her puffy cheeks puffed with smiles and happiness as she continued chanting her name.
"My name is so adorable, master! I love my name, Ria."
