Chapter 5: Aurelius Drakon Thalorin

Max's POV:

Ugh! What is this feeling, it's so uncomfortable but also comfortable, it's like I am suffocating but also it feels quite pleasant.

Where am I? I tried opening my eyes, but no light came into my vision.

Yes, vision, now I remember, I was born as a Hyuga, but a blind one, if my guess is correct, I am Hinata's twin, but where am I? I feel like I can mobilize my body, but the sense of a few hours or days old baby shouldn't be so ... I don't know..yes Danzo. I forgot. Am I in root right now?

Am I an experiment, but why am I so calm and refreshed? Is this a positive result of an experiment?

"Master you finally woke up?" A beautiful and soft voice startled me.

Master? Is she talking about me, ah is this woman hugging me? then she must be talking about me. But I am no master, at least not in the roots, or is this Danzo's another ploy to use me as a tool?

I have to figure it out, but this hug is suffocating me. Now I know why I feel comfortable and uncomfortable at the same time. This is the so-called dying in heaven.

Wait, let's get to the point.

"Who are you?" I asked in a curious voice, trying to act as a baby, shocked and scared.

"Master, are you playing the scared child trope, then am I to play the role of a onee-san and then we will..."

"What the hell, are you a shota-con?" I yelled, not thinking about my act anymore.

"Of course, for you my master, I can play any role you want, shota-con, tsundere, Yandere, B.."

"Okay, Okay, no need to go into details, first tell me who you are?"

I know this isn't Danzo's base, maybe I was saved by some female who made me her master, I have read about such tropes in the hent... again going off-topic. This is Naruto world not ...

Again, how the hell did she know I was acting as a child? This means she knows about my previous life. This is the biggest blunder for an isekaid protagonist.

I have committed a sin against the faith of reincarnators and transmigrators.

Let's calm down again, why am I in such a merry mood and how am I able to calmly analyse the situation, well the situation is dire nonetheless but... something within me has changed.

"I am Celia, head of the seven celestials and also your personal maid and secretary."

"And when did I have such privileges?"

"Before that master, can you please tell me your name?"

"You don't even know my name but you call me your master?"

"Please, I just want to hear it from you."

"Fine, It's Max .."

"No, not your mortal name given to you in your previous life, I want to hear your true name."

"That's weird, that was my name on the papers, maybe it is one of those fantasy concept, but why should I tell you my true name, wouldn't you enslave me using it."

"Oh, how much I want to tie you to myself master but no, that's not how true name works. True name represents the majesty of the soul, it is beyond life and death and only those qualified can know their true name. As for enslaving after hearing true name, that is not the case. But it is how we are able to form contracts, and it also represents our worth as a person, you know sort of a character certificate, but seldom times the character or traits change over time, but the True Name remains same and it is eternal."

"Woah! Awesome, now can you tell me your true name and what is this seven celestials."

"I can tell you my true name, but the rest will have to wait until you tell me yours."

"My True Name is Celia Evangeline Nightshade"

"Okay Celia, now how can I know my own True Name?"

"Oh yes, you don't know about that, you just have to find your soul, umm.. yes how about you look into your mindscape and try exploring it."

"Mindscape huh, lets try."

I tried entering a state of meditation or you know looking into my soul thingy but colour me surprised, I was able to enter in my first try.

Woah, it's huge and starry, is this outer space? Definitely, I am the protagonist of this World because of Isekai, so this is only normal.

Let's see, my soul, ah there it is, is that silvery light my soul?, should be, the ethereal silver shadow is my soul so my true name should be related to it.

Just as I touched the silver light, nothing happened, but I seemed to remember a name, yes this must be my true name.

Let's go out and ask about it.

I came out but being blind doesn't really provide for... wait a minute, I was able to see in my mindscape, yes, that must be because it is my mindscape, of course I would be able to see it.

"Hey I know my True Name. I checked my soul..."

"You what your soul!" exclaimed Celia.

"I explored my mindscape and saw an ethereal silver flame like thing, and I checked it out and I learned my True Name."

"That's just your soul essence and at your level you are not qualified to explore your soul."

"Aren't you rude to your master now."

"Well when it comes to teaching my master, I won't tolerate any mistake and I am as strict as it gets. Now can you please tell me your True Name."

"Fine Fine, don't get so Clingy, my True Name is:

Aurelius Drakon Thalorin"

Just as I spoke my True Name, Celia went down on her knees, tears forming in her eyes, I can hear her sobs, but somehow I know she is happy, I don't know how but I am able to know about her feelings.

"Master, I Celia Evangeline Nightshade, swear to serve you with all my being" Celia suddenly said these words, I don't know how to respond to this, I can feel her sincerity, also her voice is quite pleasant, she must be a stunner. But alas, I can't see her.

"Uh, Sure, As your master, I shall stand upto my name and you will never regret serving me."

That was.. quite bad. I couldn't think of any cool words at that time. It was just a spur of the moment, ahhhhhh, at least no one else listened to it.

"We the seven celestials also swear to serve you with all are being."*7 came the voice of the seven more women. I guess these are the seven celestials that Celia talked about and they might be here and they also heard about my embarrassing words.
