Transmigration Into The Beginning After The End

Chapter 15 - Time

CHAPTER 15 - TIME

Climbing up the platform rather awkwardly, Arthur and I had forgotten about using mana to jump it instead, propping ourselves next to the throne, one of each side next to her.

Art spoke first, saying, "Uhh... excuse me for being rude, but you don't exactly look like a lady. How should I– rather, how should we address you?"

The being took a second to respond, looking up to the skyless ceiling for some disclosure perhaps or something else, I didn't understand her even after reading the novel for 400 chapters. Sylvia's thinking and thoughts were never revealed, rather, it was never understood how she thought and how she wanted things to go.

A true mystery. I solely thought, keeping my gaze locked in the ground while processing the novel's chapters, more specifically, Sylvia's chapters or at least her involvement in the chapters.

"You're right. I don't exactly look like a lady, now do I? I wonder why I said that. My name is Sylvia," she replied, a soft chuckle leaving her mouth.

To be honest, if I was reincarnated into this world without any memories about the novel, I would for sure think that the giant demon lord-like being was anything but the owner of the name Sylvia.

I stayed quiet about that of course, being from Earth really has its perks. For one, I get to experience this medieval–magic–world like no other person from another world, sure I could get over dramatic over some words or actions, but to be honest, I rather enjoy this as the "Luke Hodges" and not the "Cain Lambard" for most of my time here. Though I doubt I was brought here for some second chance at life in the first place.

Perhaps something big or maybe a mistake of someone, or something.

Having these thoughts–which were going randomly in my head like some sort of torpedo being shot into the empty void of the ocean–made me miss some of the dialogue that Arthur and Sylvia were having. Not being an important dialogue, it was still something to learn from, emotion wise I mean. Sure I am an adult mentally, but back on Earth I wasn't really taught how emotions work the proper way. Which is why I had no friends, I was a loner the majority of my life, my parents were always on marriage trips or overseas enjoying life while I stayed in one specific country learning all about business and what not.

My actions weren't in the list of problems that came with me, but emotion and the understanding of it was the biggest one. It was like the elemental affinities are being with me right now, uncontrollable and unknown. Sure I had an ambition or the like of doing it but nothing too serious, I would drop it when things seemed boring instantly.

"I was under the impression that amongst humans, the earliest mage to have awakened so far was the age of ten, and even then, because the child couldn't grasp how to use it, there was very little he could do with it. Yet, not only have you already formed your mana core, but, by the way you use mana, you seem to be more efficient than a lot of full-fledged mages."

Arthur shrugged, feeling proud of himself. "My parents said I was a genius or something. I can read really well and I get what the pictures and words in the book are saying."

Spoiler, it's because your dad doesn't know you are older than him!

I loudly spoke in my mind while having a second, but interesting thought.

Sylvia said she saw how Arthur used mana efficiently though she was miles away from the Grand Mountains, bringing to the topic that she is an Asura and a direct bloodline of Kezess Indrath himself.

So that means...

I slowly felt the blood drain from my face, noticing that the fight I had with those mana beast earlier were seen by Sylvia. She must be wary of my own actions and potentially be considered a spy from Alacrya...
