From Another World (DISCONTINUED)

Chapter 40: End of a journey.

After reliving my past once again, I was now facing the man who summoned me.

"What is this place?" I asked.

"This is a link between you and me. I placed it in you when I summoned you and it would activate once you recover your memories", Shiroe answered.

"So you predicted that I would lose my memories?"

"More like I was the reason why you lost it. When you lose control of your powers for the first time, I made it so that you would lose it."

"Why though?"

"So that you would go to the Primordial Memory. This link required the power of a Primordial Being to work. Sorry if I gave you trouble but I needed to somehow talk to you."

He was silent for a while as he stared at me.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Nothing... Anyway, I'm here to talk to you about the Unkindness", he said.

He pointed at me.

"There's only one reason why I summoned you and that is to destroy them."

"Destroy them?"

"As you might have noticed, you're closely related to the Primordial Dark. The Unkindness will want to find you and use you in their goals. In other words, you are a vital part in their plans."

"What is their plan?"

"I don't know. I was just forced into summoning you to this world. But from what I know, they are planning to use your powers... There's one way to stop them."

"And that is?"

"You know the executives of the Unkindness? You must have met one of them. They all wear bandages."

I remembered the bandaged men I fought, "I've seen a few of them."

"Yep... Underneath those bandages are immortal beings. They traded their bodies to become living darkness. They are immortal. The only way to kill them is by absorbing their darkness. Only you can do it", he said.

"I have a question."

"Go ahead."

"Why did you summon me? Why can't it be anyone else? Was it because I just died and my soul would be easily transferred from my old world to this?"

"I know you can do it. After all, I know you better than anyone else. I even know that you wet your bed until 7th grade."

My face became red from embarrassment. That was a secret that I wanted to bring to my grave.

Everything was starting to fade.

"I don't have much time left. Listen, learn how to control your powers. Train like hell! A time will come where you will face them... And learn the truth of what you really are", he said.

The truth?

"Wait! What do you mean by that?!" I shouted but everything faded already.

I opened my eyes and got up. My body felt stiff as if I was lying on an uncomfortable bed for a long time. Turns out, I was lying on the cold hard floor.

"Oh. You're already awake, peko", Pekora said.

"Mikage... Do you remember everything? Do you feel weird?" Amelia asked.

"No worries. I remember everything. Feels weird reliving my life all over again", I answered.

"We were getting worried actually. You've been out for almost 8 hours. That's 8 times longer than Pekora's sleep", Moona said.
