Era sat in front of Prince, contemplating where to begin. "So, Prince, you already know that there are 10 known universes to us, but actually, there are more than that. Our main enemy, Yaduro, desires to get into Sery."
Prince listened intently. "See, we don't know much yetabout Sery," Era continued. "But it's said to be a universe where life and death met. things there will seem extraterrestrial; you can't tell if they are real or fake. Well, not only Yaduro, but after the discovery of Sery, many creatures want to explore it. But nobody actually knows where it is. The 57 known elements in the 10 different universes can lead to the way of Sery, so everyone wants to find them."
Prince asked, "Us also?"
Era nodded. "Yes, we also. It's better to use them for good rather than for bad. Those elements are really powerful. Our universes are filled with many mysteries. Even our organization has so much experience, yet some things are far from our understanding."
Prince was curious. "Our organization?"
Era explained, "Nobody knows who created it or how it originated, but it became popular after Yaduro's incident. Our organization is named ENIGMATIC. Its motive is to find those elements and save universes from supernatural powers. Grein was the one who found the connection between these 10 universes and created ENIGMATIC headquarters in every universe. He numbered them in reverse order. The entire ENIGMATIC and their connected planets started using Grein's order and nomenclature for universes and galaxies. He created his own language with Genep that acts as a universal language. That's why we can easily understand each other."
Prince then asked, "But who is Yaduro and what do other enemies want?"
"As I said, there are many people going after those 57 elements. This might seem fictional or fake to you, given your short experiences here, but it's all real. There was a time when it seemed fictional to me too, until I met Yaduro. He is someone who can do anything to achieve his goals. What he wants, he will get by any means. It's difficult to understand him or his motives. He is just built different. He has his own team for fighting ENIGMATIC and exploring universes. Well, there are many of them, but Yaduro's Dark Corpse is the scariest for even us."
Prince started thinking. Era continued, "Prince, what I want to tell you is that you have already given your life to ENIGMATIC. There's no escape from here. Honestly, life at ENIGMATIC is as good as heaven and as bad as hell."
Prince, scared, asked, "Will I never be able to meet my family?"
Era reassured him, "You are connected to your substitute. You can control his feelings or emotions. I know it's hurtful to be separated from family, but we have to go through this. But don't worry, you will get a chance to meet your family."
Prince felt relieved. Era continued, "I was similar to you at one time. Now I am mature enough to know what our life actually is. Try to be positive, live happily, healthily, and enjoy your present moments."
Prince nodded. "I always try to be like that"
Era then said, "So, the important thing about our meeting today is Yaduro's presence on planet Haikom, my home planet. According to my sources, element no. 48 from Tern planet has disappeared. They are probably aiming for the next three elements of universe 10. It won't be easy for Yaduro to get those elements from my planet, so there might be a war. Whenever Yaduro fights, casualties are normal. Planets, galaxies, even whole universes are not safe against him.
That's what I have to tell everyone here in Merey tomorrow, but I first came here to tell you personally about this. You will start knowing your importance. Grein, me, you, and the other seven counterparts of us, also Yaduro, we are all connected. We were far but still connected by an invisible thread."
Prince was inspired and motivated. "You haven't told anything about yourself," he said.
Era smiled. "Oh, that's a long story. I will share that with you later, but for now, I'llshare a secret of mine with you, okay?"
Prince nodded. "Okay."
Era leaned in. "I am almost immortal because of my 100 substitutes and my healing power. If 99 of the 100 substitutes die, one Era will remain forever. I can't say whether that will be the original me or not, but one of us will never die. That's what Era is."
Prince was confused. "But why is that?"
Era said, "For now, just remember that Era will remain forever."
Prince asked, "Why did you tell me about this?"
Era responded, "I thought you were the right person to share this information with. Grein and others might get upset if I tell them this. It's my gut feeling that at the end, one of my substitutes will survive. Don't ask why, I just feel that."
Prince said, "sound scary "
Era agreed. "Yes, I know having 100 substitutes is itself a huge disadvantage, but the advantages are good ones."
Prince asked, "How will someone know that you are real or not?"
Era replied, "Only Genep knows; others can't."
Prince was quite upset after hearing that. Era said, "Don't be upset, Prince. Everything will be fine. I think it is time to go. We'll meet you tomorrow. Bye."
Prince nodded, still processing the revelation.
