Chapter 25 - High Level: Fourth World, Unexpected Change

The five of them were sitting at a round table out in the garden.

"So how did you get found out by the other guy that you were crushing on?"

Ara frowned thinking back on what had happened.

"I thought he was a good man but then he showed his true self afterwards. I got fed up and was packing my things to leave. He came home and we fought. Then he saw my pearls and then I bursted into bubbles."

"...," Ottar frowned with displeasure.

He wanted to find the one that harmed her and torture his soul. Ara saw his expression and knew what he wanted to do. She placed her hand on his and smiled at him in reassurance. He calmed down and gently kissed the back of her hand. Ronan rolled his eyes. First he had to watch Lusca and Neitos be lovey dovey and now it's Ara and Ottar. Lusca was able to convince Ara to leave Ottar's domain and experience modern life.

"Alright, but I will be returning back here after I explore the world outside."

Ottar had a deeper frown on and Ara was helpless as she didn't know why her lover was so silly.

"Ottar, why don't you also come with us? You might not be able to come in your true god form but you are able to create an avatar and put a part of your consciousness in it."

Ottar turned to Lusca and pondered for a while. In the end, Ottar followed Lusca's suggestion and they went back. Ara stayed at Lusca's home but most of the time, she was traveling the world with Ottar. They did visit the sea kingdom once, telling her father that she had found her soulmate and that she would return to visit once in a while. The sea king was depressed for a while but still let her go. After Ottar made an oath to never betray Ara. Lusca and Neitos transferred their company to Ronan and they wandered the world, having fun by themselves. Ronan calls all the time to complain, saying that the couple were heartless to drop all the workload on him and leave him to rot under all the paperwork. Having no time to find a lover and staying single for a very long time. And Ronan did stay single until his very last breath in that world. 

Today, Neitos transported Lusca to his home. He loosened the blindfold and Lusca looked around.

"Was this the cave where we first met?"

"Un."

"Wow, it's so different. No wonder I couldn't find it."

'I think you just are directionally challenged.'

'Shut up, LordKittyCat.'

System No.369 rolled his eyes and left to play in the system space. Lusca and Neitos were enjoying their relaxing daily lives in Neitos's cave. 

[New! World Reset! Hidden Plot has been unlocked! The player will be sent back to the beginning of this world's creation timeline. Transferring soul in 3…2…1…0… Transfer Complete!]

'System, what the hell is going on!'

'Let me look into it…It seems Ara suddenly fell into a coma on their journey around the world. Ottar panicked when he couldn't figure out what was wrong and he gave up his god core to Ara. Then he bursted into light and died. One of the main characters of this world has died and so the world decided to reset but there seems to be an error with this reset as it seemed that this reset was not the ones we know about. This reset was from before all the other resets and it had been overridden by the world will. But the error caused it to be unsealed and now we are traveling back to the beginning.'

'Wait…what will happen to Neitos? Will he even be born into this time period?!'

'Guess we will find out.'

Leon opened his eyes and was soul shocked. 

'What the fuck, I'm a gold fish this time! Not even half fish but a full body fish!!!'

'Hahahaha, you're not even a koi fish but a fat tiny goldfish! I need to capture this and save it to look at in the future.'

The system was taking pictures as Leon moved his tiny fins to swim upwards. Frustrated as he poked his head up out of the water.

'Where are we?'

'The lotus pond in the upper realm.'

'Great. So what am I supposed to do now'

'Well, you already absorbed enough energy from the protagonists of this world to be able to do whatever you want. So this world's will will see you as a being originated from it like the rest of the other beings in this world.'

'No OOC restrictions? Awesome. I guess I'll go find Neitos.'

'Yeah…you're a fish…how are you going to search for him?'

'...fuck!'

Leon swam around the pond for a few days, trying to figure a way for him to shift into a human. 

'Is it me or is there an earthquake?'

'No, someone is coming, you idiot host.'

'I forgot I am a fish okay!'

Leon swam up to the top and looked around to see who it was. A tall and handsome god was walking towards the pavilion. Leon's eyes lightened up as he saw the male with his heightened eyesight. The male had long silver long hair and deep emerald green eyes.

'He has to be hubby! Hubby! Look over here~ It me~'

The male god seemed to feel an intense gaze to himself and looked towards where the gaze originated. His brows slightly pulled together into a small frown. Other than the plants and fishes, there was no one around that area. Puzzled, he walked closer over to Leon's spot. Looking down into the water, he noticed a very small fish, the size of half his finger length. He didn't know why but the eyes of the fish seemed to say something. Chuckling under his breath, he thought he was mentally ill. Since fishes don't have intelligence or self-awareness. He was about to turn around and continue on his path but he heard a splash and turned his gaze back to fish. Shocked that the fish suddenly jumped out of the water and flew towards him, he subconsciously raised his hands to catch the other. Remembering that fishes can't breathe on ground, he did a swoop motion with his hand and a glob of water separated from the pond and went towards the fish before it fell on him and suffocated to death. 

"Silly little guy, why did you leave the water? Why am I talking to a fish, it can't understand me."

The god did another hand movement and gently returned the fish in the orb of water to the pond. He was about to leave once again but he heard another splash of water. He turned back and caught the fish in another ball of water. For some reason he was able to read the fish's mood. It seemed to be angry? Very angry as the fish spat bubbles inside the water.

"Hmm? You want to come with me?"

Leon swam up and down to respond. The god was surprised.

"You're able to understand me?"

Leon did the same motions in response. The male softened his expression without realizing it and laughed. Why is this fish so cute?

"Don't worry, I will bring you with me. Let's go."

The god moved the ball of water to float in the air next to him and they left the garden.
