101 Avatars
138. A Glimmer of Hope awaits Dios

“Beni, it's all your fault. It was the wounds I received from you that made me lose when I faced Xavier so I had to sacrifice myself for the sake of mankind. Do it your whole life.”

The voice of Kaiser Dewantara was unceasingly overshadowing my head. No, even this time his form appeared before me, cursing this me.

In 2023, the collision was made to connect the demon world of other realms with humanity. As one of the members of the organization, it is my duty to obey orders. I don't want to tarnish the Peirriera family's good name in the organization.

Sandra supported my decision. He did the same, betraying colleagues who had trusted us like professional spies. We also trapped Kaiser Dewantara in our kidnapping. Luckily, Agni, Dios, and Kaisha were traitors to our organization that foiled the plot.

If not, maybe I'm already in deeper despair. However, the result of my fight with him, I did not expect him to be injured so badly that in the end, when his fight against Xavier in 2031, he also had to sacrifice himself to save humanity.

If only he had never been hurt in my time, surely his victory would have been easy and Kaiser Dewantara could have been saved. More than anything, I can't forget it. If he is still alive somewhere in the virtual world, where he fell, I want to really save him.

“Don't be a hypocrite, Beni! You're the one who caused me like this! Free you pretend to be good now!”

Nah! Really, that's not what I want.

I'm speechless. No, it's wrong. My best friend is a naive and forgiving person. There's no way this guy in front of me is him.

“You, fake!” I said confidently to the shadow.

Vision of the future. Perhaps many thought it was an incredible force. But to me, it was nothing more than a curse. Unlike Loki who was able to review the possibilities of the future under various circumstances, I saw a future that would really happen if I did nothing.

Unlike Loki anyway, I should need to go through all the events one by one, without skipping a single one. Even worse, I can't control that power at all. That power is passive which is activated when my body responds to possible future dangers.

One day I fell asleep. I was asleep only last night. However, it feels like I have lived in this world the next eleven years.

In that dream, I became the heir to the family of the famous conglomerate Dewantara Group. The limitless wealth and dominating power made it hard for everyone to touch me. I have to live with that burden.

I must always look strong because once I show weakness, the people from the branch family will immediately pounce on me. For the sake of my family, I must be strong, endure bullying both from the outside and the inside without faltering in the slightest.

In the middle of that, my identity was revealed by Grandpa, no, basically we have no blood relation so it is wrong if I call him as grandfather, yes, it turns out that I am not the biological child of the House of Devantara. It's because my mother, no, I mean Aunt Nana cheated on me or how, just as a child, I was viciously exchanged by my own mother.

All for a reason to protect me. But I still can't accept that. However, over the time where I ended up also having a family, I understood it a bit and forgave it.

Be that kid adopted by the housemaid in our house and then make it as my playmate. But they don't understand at all. The kid in their day and mine was completely different about all my friends it was so creepy. No, they are not friends, just people who hang out together to benefit each other. Basically, just a business partner.

Of course they should know what's going to happen to that kid. An out-of-place child, hanging out in the midst of the rich, is simply being bullied. He also suffered severe bullying day by day. However, the boy never complained at all because he was so innocent and naive. However, he was my best friend who I was sure would never betray me forever.

Kaiser Dewantara, I will remember that name forever in my heart.

I also woke up from my dream. I began to devise a plan to change her destiny by restoring everything that should have been her right long ago. By the time I was 5 years old, I had activated mass brainwashing to trade our whereabouts. Be my best friend that regains what should be his.

I also started my revenge against people who had hurt him. Even though this timeline has never happened, it doesn't mean it never happened. It happened, at least in my dreams.

I thought everything was going to go well. Who would have thought that I would repeat the same thing. I instead made him the center of attention of the demonic organization that I had been avoiding all this time. As a result, he was targeted and his life was always threatened.

Even when she was injured, she hid it so well, even me and Agni who had been nearby all this time, not at all aware of his weakened state due to suffering severe internal injuries.

Once I realized it, it was too late. My friend was once again taken from my side. Therefore, I will not give up. I will dedicate the rest of my life to research to find out where it is in the virtual world. Until then, I won't give up on him.

“Isn't it time you gave up? What you did was enough, Dios. That's your limit as a scientist in the lower classes. You don't have to look for me anymore because I'm dead in nature here by condemning your uselessness as a person I consider a friend.”

The voice suddenly came crashing through my mind accompanied by the appearance of a shadow figure. But that is why is it coming to him? Kaiser Dewantara, my best friend, is really you and is that really what you think of me.

My head hurts. How could I not think of that possibility. Where there is a man who does not curse others when he is left alone confined in the darkness without anyone saving him.

No, I haven't been quiet all this time! I've been looking for ways to find a way to open up the virtual world and search for its existence. And now that 42 years have passed, I have finally found the clue thanks to the appearance of the avatars to the face of the earth. Just a little more, a little more that I will definitely pave the way to find his whereabouts.

So please, my friend, don't tell me you've been dead in nature for a long time. Give me a little more time in my research to find your presence there.

“Don't be hypocritical! You are not that great a person who can unravel the mysteries of the world!”

The figure once again shouted at me. But one thing I believe in.

“You're not him. My best friend is not a vengeful person and can curse others like that because he is the kindest person I have ever known. So get lost, you little con man!”

I punched the figure and the figure returned to a shadow and disappeared from before me.
