"Good evening, Mr Klein Moretti. I have some important things to discuss with you."
Klein looks towards me with confusion and some suspicion. Melissa comes to my "rescue" by saying that I was recommended to him because of his work. That mostly relieves his confusion but he is still partially suspicious of me, these Glasses are great by the way and Klein is a good actor if not for these Glasses.
He secretly tosses a coin for divination while inviting me to his room for a private chat, that's cute by the way. I mean I can easily interfere with his divination results, ah why am I feeling that this will be easy? Honestly this is making me feel bad a bit but it has to be done, since I am pretty sure I can't make a sefirot with my cheat since I can't make a Uniqueness from it. Well at least for the time being. Alright I should focus on the task at hand, as easy as it might seem its very important to do. After Klein sees the divination result he is relieved, I mean strictly speaking I am not going to actually harm him in the long run. But to be on the safe side I interfered with the divination to show the result that makes him relieved.
Klein's room is very minimalistic but I think that's a good thing. Mine was similar after all in my previous life. "Mr Hendrix please take a seat." He says while offering me the only chair in the room while he sits on the bed. This situation feels a bit weird because it reminds me of my previous life when I visited some of my friends in their homes. "What can I help you with?"
"My problem is special in nature, you should know what I mean right?" He starts looking serious after hearing that and a bit confused.
"If you have Beyonder problems, I recommend you go to church of your faith or I can recommend you come to my workplace for it. I am afraid, I am a newbie for a problem of that nature and won't be able to help you if it's difficult." He carefully deflects and does it in a blunt but in a way that doesn't offend me.
"Oh no need to worry, Mr Klein. What I want is something that can be solved by you only, isn't that right Mr Fool?" I say with a smirk and he panics and goes for his gun but I just steal it. "Now now, no need to panic. I didn't come here with bad intentions." He panics even more after hearing that. I should really practice my conversational skills, they are very rusty. I am really a joke of a Sequence 4 Parasite, Sequence 8 Swindlers would be much better at conversations than me. All right, let's conceal this room for extra protection. This won't stop from snooping of Evernight but still it's better than nothing.
After calming a bit down in a few seconds, he asks in a defensive tone, "What do you want?"
"What I want are many things, but from you I only want one. But before that, I think I should clear some things about your transmigration Mr Zhou Mingrui." He looks alarmed at this but I also see some excitement there as well.
"Are you the one who transmigrated me? Are you some sort of godlike being?" He says with wariness and some excitement.
"Well you can consider me a godlike being. But I am not the one who transmigrated you, strictly speaking 'He' can be considered my enemy." He pales at that. "Don't worry about that though, since 'He' is your enemy too after all you are part of 'His' resurrection plan as 'His' vessel."
"That isn't comforting at all!" He retorts to me. I suppose he is right but I am speaking facts you know. "Anyway tell me how I transmigrated and if you can help me get back to my world. I will gladly help you with whatever thing you want." He tells me. Well I anticipated this, so I guess its time to drop the bomb on him since while this information doesn't corrupt but it will definitely weaken his mental defenses and will be more open to "persuasion" afterwards.
"Sadly that can't be done, it's impossible for you to go back. That's what I wanted to tell you." I tell him while making my face unusually serious. He becomes angry at that.
He then gets up and shouts, "How can you say that?! If I can transmigrate here from there, I can obviously go back!"
"No need to shout at me like that and sit down." I tell him with an intimidating (obviously not a fully powered one) glance and he sits down with a nervous expression. "Well, you see the thing is the problem isn't where it's when. And hence you can't go back." I tell him honestly. He looks like he understands but doesn't understand at the same time.
"What do you mean by that? And stop talking in riddles?!" He asks me with an anxious face.
"Alright." I sigh before telling him with a glance filled with pity. "The problem with your transmigration is that the world you want to return to is the world that you are living in right now. And all your family and friends are long dead, many Epochs ago." After hearing this he looks at me with disbelief.
"What are you talking about? This world is nothing like my previous one and how can I even transmigrate like that." He tells me while denying everything I said. Well it's expected that he is in denial, his mental condition is deteriorating. I cast a Placate at him to stabilize him so that he doesn't lose control because of this. After he calms a bit down he says, "That's right this is nothing like my old world, there are Beyonder powers here, the Moon is Crimson, and world looks nothing alike like my old one from the maps. There are even gods here."

Alright so that was the chapter. Hope you liked it. Sorry I was late in posting it. But I was really tired from my travels yesterday and even slept for 15 fucking hours, I mean seriously I didn't think I would be that tired after 5 days of continuous travel. Well whatever, I am back and that's all that matters I think.
Anyways do you like how I am depicting Klein? It might be a bit different from the original because I am not perfect but I am trying my best to do his character justice. He might seem a bit bratty or maybe that's just me.
And here's the thing that I wanted to ask you guys. Should I continue the way I write in first person view or should I write in third person? I feel like I am missing some things out because I am writing it in first person or maybe that's just me. Both types of writing have their pros and cons, so let me know if I should change it in future chapters.
