In the world of emptiness there was a faceless being
This faceless being is called Hitogami.
Most of his recent plans have resulted in resounding failures.
two of his most recent apostles were eliminated by his greatest enemy Rudeus Greyrat.
Options are running out and so is time.
-Only 11 months until Laplace is reborn...-Hitogami murmured.
He was currently putting all his effort into a new plan.
the merchant Lautaro and a Shironian woman would be the parents of the reincarnation of Laplace
but the problem is that they are currently in Shrione's kingdom.
and for some reason, Hitogami can no longer see the place.
After a time he would find out that perhaps it was because Rudeus visited that place since after that moment
Shirone and the people within that kingdom stopped being visible to Hitogami.
but Hitogami did not lose his calm
for your fortune
Lautaro and Laura did not live in the capital but in a nearby village which they could use to their advantage.
First, put pressure on Lautaro's life by manipulating the other villagers.
With enough pressure and rejection towards him and his wife, Lautaro would have no choice but to leave there.
and there comes Hitogami's plan
Posing as a savior, Hitogami would trick Lautaro into abandoning Shirone and going to the Kingdom of the Dragon King.
It was such a perfect plan and it wouldn't take much effort.
Stevioo would be in charge of protecting them and thus let Laplace be reborn in a place where Orsted or any of those idiots from Orsted Corp would discover him.
After the loss of Nolan, Hitogami could not afford to make risky plans, he had enough of Rudeus being on his heels at all times.
-If this is discovered I will be lost...- Hitogami muttered to himself.
After choosing his actions well, Hitogami started with his plan.
first came the sellers
After visiting them in dreams, they spread false rumors about Lautaro to the rest of their village.
Obviously, Lautaro denied the accusations but to no avail.
Blind trust in Hitogami clouded the villagers' judgment, and they became Hostile toward him and his wife, Laura.
Heartbroken they had no choice but to escape from their village, but on the way to the capital Hitogami took the opportunity to deceive Lautaro.
..
After leaving their village during the night with just what they were wearing, Laura and Lautaro arrived at a nearby village where they rented an inn.
Laura was heartbroken by the inexplicable hostile treatment of those she once considered her friends toward her.
but Lautaro was not in a better state
All they could do now was sleep and continue walking on the way to the capital.
Lautaro lulled his wife who was crying uncontrollably and fell asleep from exhaustion.
Lautaro still fell asleep almost immediately or so he thought.
Lautaro opened his eyes and found himself in a completely white place.
...w-what?!...where am I?!!
-Hello!- Hitogami said appearing to Lautaro suddenly
What the hell?! Who are you? Where am I? Where is my wife?!
-wow...calm down my friend, your wife is fine, I am manifesting in your head right now, my name is Hitogami!- Hitogami said in a playful tone and with a smile
Hitogami?...wait...am I dreaming?...
"Eeem, yes and no, this will seem like a dream to you but I am manifesting your soul in my world while your physical body is sleeping comfortably with your wife" Hitogami explained
W-what does that mean?! What do you want from me?
-Hehe, calm down my friend, I am a venevolent god and I see that you have gotten yourself into a big problem!!- Hitogami said dramatically
...yes...my friends and neighbors now hate us for no apparent reason...I don't know why...I tried to defend myself but they hated me more...what did I do wrong?!!
"Ooo, poor man, you must feel very bad, right? But you're lucky! Hitogami, I'm here to help you!" Hitogami said in an enthusiastic tone.
help me?...how?...
-hmmp!, I just told you that I am a god and yet you doubt me!- Hitogami said with a pout while crossing his arms.
n-no!, I didn't mean to disrespect you, please forgive me!!
-heh...I was joking, I want to help you, but you must follow my advice to the letter- Hitogami declared.
-a-ah...yes, please help me Mr. Hitogami!!
-hehe..ahem..Lautaro!, go to the Kingdom of the Dragon King to settle down, there you will ask for a job in the capital and you will ask for it in the royal castle, if you do your life will be better than you ever imagined!!- Hitogami He said as he faded from Lautaro's sight.
Lautaro just stared in shock at the place where Hitogami had been before.
Lautaro had many doubts but something inside told him that he could trust Hitogami and so he woke up suddenly in the early morning.
He was already determined to follow Hitogami's advice so with his wife Laura, Lautaro changed course and went to the Kingdom of the Dragon King.
..
-Rudeus Pov-
..
I woke up very early in the morning with a pleasant feeling
And what could it be? It was simple, I am currently completely surrounded by 3 beautiful, totally naked women.
Although I couldn't have sex with Sylphie I already knew other methods to satisfy her.
Although we didn't finish our love session until after midnight, for some reason I had woken up at this time and I couldn't sleep even though I tried to keep sleeping.
I had no choice but to sneak out of my girls' embrace with the excuse of going to the bathroom to a half-asleep Sylphie.
I got dressed again, went out to the first floor and saw that it was barely 5 in the morning.
Lara and Ileana were still sleeping the same way so I had nothing to do at the moment.
I took a shower and ate the leftovers from dinner as my breakfast and decided to move to my study
The place was just as messy as he had left it before the attack of the spirit of Light so there was nothing to worry about.
I looked through the books and notes that my future version left behind and some caught my attention.
"Failed Constraints" was the title of one of the books
At a glance it was simply a story of how a group of adventurers several centuries ago lost their leader in battle.
From that moment on, the group's luck and balance were undermined by the absence of their leader.
One of its members in desperation tried to revive his leader using hundreds of mana crystals and a summoning circle.
The result was completely disastrous.
Not only could he not revive his master, but he only made him a living dead.
This undead had superhuman strength, which is why it killed almost all the members of its group, excluding the summoner, who with great effort defeated the undead and lived to tell the tale.
I really didn't know what to think about this but by the nature of this world this could be true.
And in essence they brought a zombie
Closing that book I decided to review once and for all the book that Clifth gave me.
The book was the thickness of a dictionary and the cover, which I assume was made of leather, was on the verge of falling apart at even the slightest rough touch.
I read a few pages of this book and couldn't help but smile at the irony.
This thing was apparently Millis's diary.
Or rather the diary of Millishion Kinpergant
A guy who lived from K16 to K75
Despite his relatively short life, his influence was real.
Apparently this diary dates back to the year K31 when this guy left for a war.
The iconic tradition of the kiss on the forehead and the necklace is mentioned here.
Something that caught my attention was the mention of Necromancy in these books
Apparently it was a practice that was popularized by the Demon God Laplace in the Second Human-Demon War.
The guy revived dead demon soldiers and gave them superhuman strength in exchange for their consciousness.
There was no spell for this as it was a technique exclusive to Laplace and was only done through magic circles.
Apparently this was a magic lost in time
Since I searched all over Millishion's journal and found nothing else related to the topic
I was also struck by the mention of another technique
"the fusion of soul"
This cursed technique created by Laplace was made to unite two souls, fuse the bodies and form a new being.
It is mentioned here that Laplace was about to do it with his version of the technique God but was stopped in time
-...if Laplace were to do that technique today with his other half, who knows what he would be capable of...- I muttered to myself
I spent the next few hours reading the diary until dawn.
