Albert, Cecily and Eleanor rushed into Lucas' household as they heard the news, Lucas has been killed.
Lucas' body was found in his bedroom, laying lifeless next to his bond. he wasn't there before, meaning that the killer or killers have returned the body. His parents were weeping and crying their hearts out once they saw the sight.
" I'll find the killer and make them repent " Albert bit his own lips so hard that it started to bleed

1st person view
-Should I tell them?-
-If you want my advice, you're asking the wrong person- Dabria answered -The other gods would love some drama and would definitely encourage you to tell them-
-Oh yeah, an all-out fight between you and Albert would definitely be entertaining- Ace commented
-Yeah, you would go easy on him, he'll take you by surprise and got an opportunity to kill you. But being the guy he is, he would spare you, which would cost him as he'll regret it later as you either kill him then and there or you'll just kill him later if that's how the story should go- Diana explained
| I quit my job, any of you want to be the author instead? No, 3rd-person view narrator, go back down to the basement! …You guys heard nothing |
" You guys are still discussing about it?" Lia asked
"Well yeah, we returned the body and all, and at this rate, the champions might be the one to tell them who killed Lucas, and blame it on the seekers which is true. Either way, people will be very angry with me despite not knowing about it"
"Well what are you going to do?" Lia asked
"At this point, I'll tell them. You guys can accompany Damon and stay here or warp back home, I'll just tell them myself. Don't worry, I got Dabria with me, and if it comes to it, I'll just retreat."

I asked Albert to come alone, he can only bring Aenon along. I sent a letter to his house giving him the location of this empty forest. All the letter says is that 'I know Lucas' killer'. It wasn't long till he arrived alongside Aenon
"You killed him?!" Albert accused
"Trust me on this, I didn't even know Lucas was a target, I was at a dragon's settlement when it happened."
"Then it was your organization that did this! Andrius ordered this, didn't he?! Why did you join them?! Why kill our own friend?" Albert cried
"Fine, I'll tell you at least a few things as compensation Albert. If I can help the organization accomplish a few of its goals, I will get an opportunity to travel back to my old world"
Albert and Aenon looked stunned at my confession.
"What thing do you possibly need over there that you need to kill Lucas?" Aenon asked "I thought you said that you had no relatives back there"
"Well I told you, Zach didn't even told me about the mission. But as for why I have to go back...it's revenge. There are some people that I need to kill, I lied about my old world being a peaceful world, only some parts of it were. I also can't agree with all their methods...but right now, I'll just have to keep moving forward."
"Perseus, I forgiven you for a lot of things, but...I'm really angry right now" Albert replied with a glare "Why can't you just let things go with your stupid world?!"
"My life isn't like yours, Albert. I fought and struggled to live, and because of one stupid betrayal by some bastards cause me the deaths of my closest friends."
"Then you're just like them!" Albert countered "You betrayed us and killed our closest friend"
"Well you're technically right for that, I'm just a hypocrite at the end of the day. But like I said earlier, I didn't even know that Lucas was one of the targets, I only knew about it not that much earlier than you."
"What kind of environment were you raised in to make you like that?" Aenon asked "Even people like Elliot still feel something when they kill"
"Tell me the killer's name!" Albert demanded "I'll hunt them down"
"Currently they are much stronger than you Albert, I have no doubt that you'll deal great damage to them, but even in a one on one, you'll lose your life. But if you must know, they're the twin elves."
"The ones with red and blue hair?" Aenon asked
"Yep"
"Just leave..." Albert said "I don't want to see your face right now..."
"Well I thought that I should let you know, see you around, I guess." I turned away but he asked me one more question
"Your dead siblings...is your revenge related to them?" he asked
"So you overheard it...but yeah" I then warped away
-I'm really not that great with those kind of stuff-
-Well you did decent, I guess. It definitely could've gotten so much worse- Dabria responded -I expected a fight-
-Hey was it just me, or did Albert feels a bit different from usual, don't say that it might be because he's emotional-
-He did, he got another piece of plotinum on him- Dabria replied
-Thought so, I felt it from that gold bracelet on his wrist-
*****
"How did it go over there?" Lia asked
"Well it could've been worse, that's for sure. I expected a bit of a fight before he break down and cry while I leave with guilt. Well I do have a bit of guilt"
-What is this? A world of clichés?- Damon asked
-Well that's what I reincarnated into, it's like right out of a novel. Orphan, powerful parents, commoner, rising through the ranks, magic, dragons...you want anymore?-
-Yeah no need- Damon replied -Would you be able to beat him in a fight to the death?-
-Depends, but if I had to, I'll just leave it to the me during the situation. I'm too lazy to think of a proper answer. But we're close, it won't be long till I can go back-
-Will we get to rob banks for money when we're there? Like in the movies?- Ace asked
-We'll see when the time comes, I plan for a lot of chaos-
