Chapter 7 - Abyss I

Scenes he never knew existed flashed before Klein's eyes. The Worms of Spirit and Time in his body, trimble as he he stood there dazed.

...

A man in a cathedral was looking into an ordinary looking priest, aside from what he is wearing, nothing about him is clear, as if he was in the border of reality and imagination.

The priest look into the man in front of him.

All Klein can see is the silhouette of the man wearing a coat, a halft-top hat and cane. Aside from it, everything about him is enveloped in fog, as if he was the embodiment of the unknown itself.

After a few seconds of silence, Klein heard the priest spoke,

" It's rather unfortunate that "They" were able to obtain their Sefirot, making the battle reached it's peak. Even with the two of us,it will be quite troublesome."

After saying the last sentence, the priest became silent.

The entire cathedral turned silent before the mysterious man spoke with a monotonous tone,

"One of the few reasons was that Farbauti was immediately controlled when the sudden attack of the Outer Gods happened is because one of the gods betrayed everyone.

"The revelation that the Apocalypse will fall into the earth in ___ was indeed true. But ___ never said that it can be ___. We were careless enough to ignore the Outer God ___. Although using the power of the Sefirot, ____ was able to maintain the barrier for a few weeks, ____ were still able to influence the world.

"In that few seconds, millions have died. Blood splattered, turning into monsters..."

The mysterious man kept on speaking without even taking a breath. However, the priest knew noticed that his mood and voice became solemn.

The longer the mysterious man speaks, the weaker his voice became.

The man stopped speaking and the Dreamworld shattered.

...

Klein stared blankly at the cave as he became silent for a few seconds.

Everything that happened before stopped as if something had blocked them.

Klein using this moment of peace, immediately switched places with his marionette that entered the border of specially concealed forest.

He immediately exited the concealed forest as he began analyzing what just happened.

Abyss...from some of the fragment of my memory, Abyss was stated to be ruled by an existence that made it impossible to be habitable even for demons...Klein exchanged looks with his avatar, hinting them to give their suggestion.

After a few seconds of silence, one of Klein's avatar spoke,

"From the fact that this forest didn't exist 2 century ago, it means that Abyss definitely has not only one entrance. The Goddess called Evernight is of the concealment pathway, meaning that it was sealed by some her, who is most likely on the concealment domain, yet they were unable to completely erased the "entrance"."

Klein nod his head, agreeing to what the avatar said.

"Abyss indeed has more than one entrance, as far as I can remember, there should be some entrance in Backlund that was removed century ago."

Klein tried his best to search for his memory, but it was to no avail. For now, he can just patiently see if some things will help him regain his memory.

At that time,one of the avatar then suggested,

"How about one of us guard the entrance of the abyss? The concealment place on the forest is a special one. As long as one doesn't possess a spirit vision at stronger level, they will be unable to sense any anomaly, meaning that it was not necessarily a complete concealment, but an incomplete one.

"Using this reason, I'm sure that the Goddess called Evernight will return here every month to replenish the concealment. When the time comes, we can try to have a conversation."

As Klein spoke, he look at every avatars and towards the main body. Klein who heard the suggestion of the avatar nodded his head, he just thought about it a few moments ago.

However, one of the avatar found it quite problematic.

"What if she's hostile towards us? According to this country's law, beyonders from the Arbiter,Bard,Reader,Savant, Sleepless, and Planter are the only beyonders allowed to roam this world, as long we're not from any of those pathway, then we're heretic in the eyes of others."

Klein nod his head and answer as he began walking towards the direction of the village.

"That's fine, as long as she wasn't bloodlusted enough, then there's definitely room for negotiation, besides that boy named Elland was still alive, no? I say we fairly has chance for peace."

As he said the last sentence, Klein halted his movement. He found it somewhat suspicious. A Goddess called Evernight would let a mortal know "Her" name? She even said it herself.

He turned towards his avatars and said,

"Someone needs to guard the entrance of the abyss. As well as look out for any anomalies."

Of course.By "anomalies", Klein meant the Evernight, it might also be the abyss itself.

The avatar exchange gazes as they contemplated what to do.

Seeing this scene, Klein look blankly at them before suggesting to hold a democratic voting.

The voting ends and the 69th Klein was chosen.

Of course, he just accepted it all while mumbling about how someone stole his luck and destiny.

With that, Klein returned to the apartment to began preparing his plan.
