I stared at the status window, wondering what the coins were for
What does a guide even do tho, Guide people I guess?
Does that mean that I'm a leader who guides her disciples into making the world a better place?
I reach and tapped on the status window, looking for clues Or anything that could explain the ability I've never heard of before
{GUIDES}
Guides are special individuals who help stabilize Espers. They do this through physical touch, which can range from simple gestures like hugs to more intimate contact. guides and Espers often need to have good compatibility for the guiding {process to be effective.}
{SS- CLASS GUIDE}
Ranks range from the lowest ( H ) to the highest which is ( SSS ), Individuals are given different ranks based on how much they can handle.
The rank ranges from [SSS SS S A] {B C D E F G H}
Not only does this apply for guides and espers. it also applies to potions, items, and abilities.
As an SS- CLASS GUIDE, you have a higher level of mana and magic flowing through your body {which can be helpful for your guiding process.}
Okay, I guess... That's a lot of information to process. Can I even remember all of this?

{Precognition}
a superpower that lets someone see into the future. This ability allows a person to catch {glimpses of events before they actually happen. }
{Clause}
It cannot be activated and will manifest both at unforeseen times and at predetermined {moments}
What the f-
Stopping in my tracks, I slapped my face hard.
I can't believe I promised not to curse and here I am repeating my mistakes.
What if the system actually makes me fall into an eternal sleep?!
Touching my beautiful face. I let a sigh escape my mouth, trying my best to process every information given
I'm guessing this precognition is the reason why I've been seeing random memories out of nowhere.
But why was it given to me?
That thought has been lingering in my head since earlier
"Ugh.."
Not again.. the headache's keep coming back to torture me. These memories, really feel like a death threat to me
{Precognition activating}
I hear my mother screaming
I looked around frantically crying
Stay in here with mother, don't come out unless necessary Okay?
He said as he closed the bedroom door, leaving me and mother alone.
I can see that we're hiding from something
a creature that I've never seen before.
A few minutes later, I hear the door opening.
It was the girl my brother called genie
She was pressing on her chest. Like she was having a hard time expressing what she was about to say
Her expression says everything, the blood on her clothes felt depressing.
Announcing the death of my brother, she apologized as if she didn't want to be a bother.
I gasped, feeling like I couldn't breathe. Yet another fortune telling was given to me
"I-i remember"
This room I was staying in, it was the same as in that memory.
If I stay with my brother
would we end up like this?
Creak
The bedroom door opened
Now that I'm coming to my senses, I finally felt alive.
"Sage, you're awake!"
My brother ran to me, holding a bowl of soup.
"Agh, wait. Dylan, STOP! you're holding a-"
Without thinking, he let go of the bowl of soup
Making me his first priority as he hugs me tightly
SHATTER
The happy reunion of the two siblings came to an end, as soon as they heard the bowl of soup shatter.
The bowl of soup spilled, staining the side of the bedsheet. Spreading across the bedside table
DY-LAN!

"So, is dinner tasty?"
Desmond asked, as we all sat down at the dining table.
I play with the soup, as if whisking an egg at a slow speed. Clearly having no appetite to eat
"You've been sleeping for 2 days, I thought you were really dead sage..."
Dylan cried, god. Did he change personalities when he was in the army? What a cry baby
I remember when he wouldn't even cry at our grandmother's funeral, but here he is. Crying his heart out like a little baby
"I've been sleeping for 2 days?"
I replied back, confirming what I just heard
"Exactly, me and nave were also worried about you"
Desmond said, looking worried.
I can see the sincerity in his eyes, I don't even have to question if he actually cared about me.
"What utter bullshit are you talking about?"
Nave replied, he was obviously pissed.
But I guess he was also worried
"Did you guys got in contact with uni?"
My two allys look at eachother, nave and Desmond.
Desmond looked down while nave tried to avoid my gaze, clearly trying to avoid my question
I've had enough of not being able to talk to anyone properly, I wasn't letting it go this time
"DID YOU GET IN CONTACT OR NOT?!"
I slammed my fist on the table, standing up from my seat. What about my mother? What if they ran out of food and are starving right now thinking we'll come back...
"Sorry sage, I wanted nave to come back to our safety zone and I insisted on staying beside you but he refused saying that he didn't want to go alone."
I looked at the both of them before sighing once again
"Why don't you just tell them both to come back and stay with us here in the safety zone?"
I heard a female voice from behind. It was the girl who tried to persuade me before I lost consciousness.
"Oops, I forgot. You don't know me yet.
Call me genie, it's not my actual name. But it'll work"
"Well, genie. Why don't you grant me a wish and fuck off."
A male voice from the front spoke, it was nave.
Nave putted his feet on top of the table, clearly annoyed.
"Oh, don't start with me now. You still have to pay back what you fucking stole."
Genie replied to naves comment, reminding him that she didn't forget about his sins.
Nave, decided to shut his ass up and sat down properly taking his feet off the table awkwardly.
He has nothing to argue about now.
"Give sage to us and we'll let nave off."
Wow, is genie really treating me like an object?
Desmond stood up, and started walking towards me.
He pulled me away from genie
"I don't care if her husband or lover is here, we'll never give her to you. We weren't the one who stole the food from yon in the first place so take nave and do whatever you want with him."
Nave looked troubled
Wow, I thought nave were friends with Dylan, Why is he acting like he's a stranger to him?
Wait, I forgot. He doesn't know Dylan is not my lover...
Seriously....?
He's been here for 2 days and still hasn't found that out? Did they not tell him?
As I stared at Desmond protesting, he blushed in embarrassment clearly not expecting for me to stare so intensely.
What did he even think about? That I got into an arranged marriage at 24 years old?
Wait. Do I look old? Nahh, he knows my age so probably not that
what I said is what I said. I'm not letting her go"
My brother looked at me with puppy eyes, the hell?
When did he even learn that?
I stared at him intensely, operation number 1.
Turn things around
"Dylan, you might not know this. But mother is alive.."
"She's being guarded in our safe zone,"
Dylan looked down before standing up from his seat, turning to face me
Everyone is standing except for nave
"Have you been attached to them? For how long?"
I gripped my fist
"T-two days.."
"Is that long enough to leave me for them?"
"You've met them for 2 days, and I've been there your whole life and you're saying you're replacing me for this guy?"
Woah woah, wait a minute now. Why does this sounds like an affair?
"It's not like that Dylan, I-i just..."
"If it's not like that, then what is it? If mother is the problem then just bring her and we'll survive together in our safety zone"
" Is that so hard..?"
I didn't want to meet his eyes
" It is..."
I mumbled, he doesn't know what I've been through. The precognition ability that gave me memories that could happen in the future
What if we really ended up having to meet with that creature?
"Y-You don't understand..!"
"Just trust me this once, Dylan.."
I cried, holding on to Desmonds shoulder as I didn't want to suffer any longer.
Dylan looked at me as if saying that he wanted to understand me, but no matter what he thinks.
He couldn't find the reason to my decisions
"Okay, I understand. I'll respect whatever decisions you have."
I smiled, he didn't really understand but he's willing to go through my plans.
I let go of Desmond and ran to hug Dylan tightly
I regretted it all day, all night when I didn't see him before he went to the military.
I avoided him, because I didn't want to remember his presence.
I guess you could say I'm a crybaby, just like him.
