101 Avatars
125. Mirror Illusion

We entered the gate that appeared after we eliminated all illusions created by the illusory slime of the time.  As soon as we entered that door, I could feel that we were being transferred back to a different place.  My gaze became glare and knew, the six people before me had disappeared.

I walked into the place alone.  A strange place filled with mirrors.  I don't know where to go because the map was only held by Adrian.  Be me down that place by relying on my instincts to always move straight and not be trapped by the illusion of the labyrinth that actually moves crooked, but looks straight.

However, for some reason the more I stepped and looked at the mirrors around me, my head became sore.  I remember all the past I wanted to forget.

I remember my happy times when my grandfather was alive and visited me often in the spare time of his research.  A friendly person who always bought me toys.  The little things he did for me were so meaningful memories for me.

When I went home, my grandfather always spoiled me.  He used to carry me in the park.  Even after that, his back pain came back from being too tired to play with me.  As an expression of my guilt, I also helped Grandfather apply ointment and stick koyo on the bottom of his back.

I laughed a lot at that time.  Those were really good times.  I did not know the true figure of the grandparents of the Father's family because He both died too soon before I could even remember.  That's why I'm getting closer to Grandpa Gilbran, Mom's father.

Many people say that happiness is like water stored in a bottle.  The more fortunate a person is, the larger the bottle of happiness that can hold more and more happiness water.

So many people say if we enjoy happiness, it should be appropriate.  Don't overdo it in laughing.  Because the more you express happiness by laughing, the faster the water of happiness in your bottle runs out, no matter how big your bottle of happiness is.

That's what happened to me.  I enjoyed the happiness of that moment so much that by the time it all disappeared, I was completely overwhelmed with disappointment.  My grandfather died in his research accident at Primbonan Temple.  It was still a mending if it was just an ordinary accident.  However, there is a lot of evidence that I have gathered that the basement was deliberately torn down by someone or something.

My grandfather was obviously killed by someone.  Later I found out, apparently the perpetrator of the forbidden demon organization.I saw how much suffering Grandma and Mother and Father because it was abandoned by Him.

I walked slowly across the labyrinth again.  I must not lose focus because once I lose focus, I will be immediately blinded by this curved but straight-looking labyrinth.

This time my mind was possessed by the past after my grandfather's death.  Both of my parents were so preoccupied by their research.  Almost all of their time is consumed by research.  I'm upset with my mom and dad like that.  But they are still good to me.  Sometimes they come home and spoil me well.

My days after Grandpa's death were often accompanied by Grandma.  Mom and Dad were immediately preoccupied by the many studies after Grandpa's death so I was entrusted to Grandma's house.  In the past, before Grandpa's death, Father and Mother were already quite busy, but after Grandpa's death, they themselves barely even had time to spare for themselves including to eat and sleep.

Everything is the devil's organization.  It was they who separated Uncle and Aunt from her family and they killed Grandpa.

I was lonely, but I realized that both my parents did it because they could not let go of their past.  If I had a little bit, shake that already shaky body, I don't know what would happen to the two of them.  Therefore, instead of whining about loneliness, I prefer to support the decision of my parents.  After all, I realized how much love they have for me.

At that time, Judith had started to grow up.  I don't want him to feel the same loneliness I feel.  That's why I decided to stay with her and never make her feel lonely.  And then, the demon organization hurt my parents again, which I almost thought they were no longer in the world.

I can no longer remain silent.  If this continues, one day Judith, Grandma, and my remaining family will be the next victims.  Therefore, I decided to end this chain by finding the real mastermind.  Let me leave Judith alone.

I'm back to waking up.  I used the remnants of my energy to step forward out of this labyrinth.  Then, the memory of Andina appeared.  How we first got to know each other and became close together.  Until the day he was savagely killed by Bomber.

I don't blame Bomber because it's not his fault.  He did so on the basis of his mind being controlled by the virus created by Mr. X.  Mr. X is to blame for all this.

I regained consciousness.  Then I stepped again.  Once again, my memory is possessed by my past.  But this time, it was not a dark memory.  A memory where I regained consciousness after being in a coma for five years then found Adrian as my training mentor.

For the first time, the illusion spoke directly to me.

“Kak Kaiser?  Brother all right?”  Said the young man in my illusion to me.

Instantly I woke up.  Ah, it's not an illusion.  He was the real Adrian.

“Ah, Adrian.  Thank goodness I met you.  I panicked when I saw you all disappear.”

I saw Adrian just smiling at me saying, “Yuk, Brother.  The exit is there.”  Adrian said, pointing towards the front.

Although my mentality was attacked so that I was exhausted, but I realized that it was not the way.  The right path is not in front, but on the right.  I think Adrian seems to have been fooled by the illusion of this twisted labyrinth but looks straight.

I also warned Adrian, “Salah, Adrian.  That's not the way.  The correct path is on the right.”

I saw Adrian silent for a long time before replying.

“No, Brother.  The correct path is in front.”

I could not bear to see the puckish Adrian then said, “Try to open your map.  You're the one who brought the map?  The map should show the right direction.

However, Adrian actually said, “Sorry, Brother.  Peta is gone, fell when strong winds hit me.”

“Oh, so?  I didn't think you could be that stupid.  Well then, we need to find that map before we get out of this labyrinth.  Without that map, we wouldn't be able to find what we're looking for.”  I told Adrian, moving behind him, and told him to follow me.

I don't know why he just stayed silent.

Then suddenly, something dressed in black seemed to attack Adrian.  I was late to respond, but luckily Adrian managed to fend it off.  I ran trying to support Adrian with all my might by attacking the white-masked and black-robed criminal.  The criminal then took off his mask.

But what I saw, he was Adrian.

“Why are you two?”  Tanyaku.

“Kak Kaiser, beware.”  Adrian said in black robes.

I dodged unknowingly responding to his orders and then he shot Adrian in a white jacket, his usual clothes.

But what happened, Adrian's face in a white jacket cracked like a mirror.
