CHAPTER 26

[NARAIA'S PERSPECTIVE]

The Familiar World was one of the worlds that were connected to Earth. The inhabitants of the Familiar World had a symbiotic relationship with those from Earth. Familiars were usually stronger than humanoid races of the same rank, but they lacked the energy to use their abilities. By signing a contract with someone from another race, they gained access to their partner's reserves of energy, mostly in exchange for protecting them.

About 400 years ago, the link between the Familiar World and Earth was suddenly destroyed. No one knew who or what caused the destruction of the link. Many mages, sorcerers, and other magic users tried to restore the link, but to no avail. A strange force kept interrupting the process, and this continued for 100 years before everyone gave up. So how on earth are we here? Does it have anything to do with Damian? It might be possible, after all, he's a fragment. Perhaps this is a test for him.

[ DAVID'S PERSPECTIVE]

Oh my God!. I'm going to be stinking rich! No one has ever gotten the chance to enter the Familiar World before. So many experiments and tests have been done, but it was proven impossible. It's good to be a fragment's best friend!. I rushed to my pocket, only to realize that my phone was gone. No! No, no, no, no!. A tear fell from my eye.

"What's wrong?" A asked, looking concerned.

I was on the verge of tears. My phone must have fallen during the battle with the red-striped tiger. The girl looked at me with a puzzled expression. I wiped my tears and steeled myself. I had a new mission now. Even if I couldn't take a million-dollar photo, I could at least get myself a beautiful familiar.

A my love, even if your naming sense is the worst in history, you're still perfect in my eyes, unlike some other people I know. I turned to look at Diana and smirked at her.

[ DIANA'S PERSPECTIVE]

.So this was the Familiar World! Other than the forest outside, it looked fairly normal. The first thing I noticed was the sparseness of mana. The amount of mana in the air was so small that I began to wonder where A had gotten the energy to swat us away.

As we kept walking, I noticed David fumbling with his pockets and making strange expressions. Suddenly, he burst into tears. Then, his gaze turned determined.

As we kept working, I noticed David fumbling with his pockets and making strange expressions. Suddenly, he burst into tears. His gaze turned determined, and I knew what was coming next. I saw it in that brief second: the pervert glanced at A's chest. What a pervert! His head began to turn. Wait, where are you turning to? Then, he turned to me, looked at my chest, and smirked. Bastard!

[DAMIAN'S PERSPECTIVE]

"....."

'What am I doing here?' I thought. I should have been on the Inverted Island by now. We'd been walking for close to an hour now. Where was the girl taking us?

"We're here!" she said, standing in front of the largest, most luxurious building in the place. Two female guards were standing in front of it, staring straight at us.

"Outsiders, why did you bring outsiders here, A?" one of them asked.

"It's been a long time since we've had any contact with other worlds, P. I thought it would be a good idea to bring them to the queen," A replied.

I was so annoyed by the whole situation, but I couldn't bring myself to care. Even if they were hiding their names, did they really have to be so vague? Ugh. I didn't want to dwell on it. There were bigger things to worry about.

" Alright then, you may enter"

The gates were opened, and we entered. We walked straight to the throne room. As soon as we entered, we heard a voice.

"Welcome, outsiders. I've been expecting you," said the Queen. But I wasn't listening. My mind was on the notification that had just appeared on my mission tab right now.

DING!
