Dreams To Return: The God Of The Tower
13. First Mission (2)

"Someone who eavesdropped on other people's conversations shouldn't seem to say that. Aren't you?" I smiled coldly at him "I knew you were in that place and eavesdropped on our conversation, but I didn't know it was you who was chosen by the god Vishnu"

"How about we talk for a second?"

"What do you think is the reason I'm following you?" Samuel took away his magic and with a sigh of relief he continued his sentence "Quite shocking" he said. "Your eyes looked at me with a look of hatred, I had thought you were the one who hated the gods, you were the same as me" His calm-sounding speech seemed different from the one I met last night.

"I now understand why mister Nanaru came to see you"

"You know him?"

"Of course, even though he is not a pleasant person, what he tells is true. You know, too, about this character and the world?" I retracted my words, he was not following me, but was intending to take me.

"So how about we go first to a comfortable place?"

.

.

In the tower building so high a center of association and commerce was built, and in one of the buildings the smell of alcohol was so clear, but more than that I have to admit that it's completely outside my expectations, magnificent and beautiful but also gripping "I don't know a god-selected person as high as you even take me to the bar" I said, but he just smiled and raised his glass with wine.

"You should have asked why he chose me, as well as why I brought you here. You know, the world is not okay.." He gulped down the wine deliciously as he looked straight into his glass "The gods are crazy, toying with us with such a cliche story and then throwing us away. For them our lives are nothing more than this alcohol, just the thing they should enjoy and make them addicted."

"That sounds like you hate the gods, but why were you chosen by the gods?" tanyaku slowly.it sounds evil but come on, the god who memiih this child is not just any god, but one of the highest gods that even level could be equal to Zeus.

"What's different about you? Aren't you the same?"

"You realize it.."

"Your aura is too dark for the size of a human being, as if you've lived for so long and then forgotten everything you've been through" For a moment I seemed to realize something, what he said was true, I forgot something, but I don't know what I forgot.

"I don't know, it's none of your business"

"Now it's our business, because from now on we'll do the same, the rabbit you're carrying is a living compass that can lead us to discover who we are, at first we wondered why Nanaru had not given it to us, it seems that he had been waiting for you for a long time."

"Wait-what? We?"

"Hey Samuel, the reason why I suddenly asked to meet" A young man in black robes suddenly patted Samuel on the shoulder, and as soon as he opened his hood I could see his familiar silver hair.

Wait, not a stranger..

"Ah Nikol, nice to meet you" Samuel seemed to welcome the person happily, at least before the person then looked at me and we both cried out.

"You!"

"Wah-wah this manganese anyway"

Who do you think is Nikolai?!

Our eyes met each other and when we were about to attack each other with ease Samuel hit us "well, just have a picnic later. It's time to plan the mission" I think now I know why he's the god of choice, it turns out he's good at hiding his true nature. Moving around as if he was a warm but silent person and hiding behind a shadow as a puppeteer, I think that's a suitable expression for him.

"But is it okay to talk in this crowded place?" Hearing my question Samuel smiled.

"It's okay, because the one thing you should know about this tower is where the characters who remember the 'outer world' or something, they remember their lives in the world of reality"

"The outside world? Reality?" I don't understand but I vaguely know what he means is the world I've described to Arin, a world full of injustice. I think now I know why the architectural style here is so different from the city outside, but whether the gods just let this place go without feeling threatened.

"Hey hey don't tell me you don't know? What kind of person are you carrying" Nikolai asked Samuel while looking annoyed at me.

"Novan you don't have to pretend not to know, in this world people are classified as 3. First, the class of people who play their roles perfectly and have no memory of the past. Second, the class of people who remember their memories in the past and hate gods. And the last one, the rarest, is people who come directly from outside this world without intermediaries, and the only people who belong to the third type are Nanaru" said Samuel clearly.

"Nine princes?! Then you've been here for 900 years?!" No wonder understanding and wisdom feel so strong, so this is the reason Bathara Vishnu chose it? " Then Nikolai?".

Nikolai showed his three fingers "three rounds plus I remembered the memory of my life before being trapped in this world" he said.

"What about you, Nova?"

"How many spins or memories do you remember?"

I was silent, round, memory let alone that I could not remember but one thing was certain "i came from outside"

"From outside? So you remember the world of reality?"

"No, I mean yes I remember it but only to get to know the world. once I realized I woke up in the gripping darkness, before then I opened the door and moved into the world of lucid dream-"

"Wait for what?! Lucid dream?!" Nikolai looked so shocked.

"Yes, the world is so abstract but it also feels orderly. There is only one person who occupies it, because of the loneliness and confusion we boarded a train and finally arrived here" I don't think I need to tell much.

"Then you're the same as Nanaru" Samuel said, making silence between the three of us. "Didn't you remember anything else? Like your old life?" Ask Samuel.

"No, my memory feels locked, as if there is a chain and a thick fog covering it" I said honestly.

"Do you think the gods did it?" I know Samuel's just guessing but I don't know why it feels right. Otherwise how could they target me and send those black shadows to hurt me and Arin.

"The carving is just my feeling that is wrong but I do see, there is a sign that surrounds you, a sign with an ancient letter that I cannot read. His energy was also very different from mine" what he meant was a god cursing me and that god was not from Hindu mythology.

"Don't tell me that kid from yesterday was too.." Nikolai asked in a slur but as soon as he heard my answer he was immediately surprised by the word widened.

"Yes, he's the son and the only waiter in Lucid's dream. Also the child in Nanaru's care"

"Waw, I think I know why he's so surrounded by luck" Nikolai said.

"Luck?" I see, so he can also see what others are not interested in, from his description I think he is also the choice of a god, but it's strange why I seem to just realize it now.

"Nikolai has the ability to take into account the success of an action, in short he can estimate one's actions and luck" Luck? what does it mean to be associated with the Greek goddess of good luck? The tikhe? isn't he from the Candra family could it be from Hindu mythology? Goddess Laksmi? it's hard for me to believe which goddess or god chose her, or she comes from another mythology?

"certainly his taste is bad" I murmured slowly that he could choose this troublemaker man as his choice in the story of this round.

"What did you say?" Ah he heard me apparently.

"No, I was just thinking about something else.."

"I know you're talking about me"

"No"

"Yes!"

"It's you two, we better start moving now"

"Now? Where's where?"

"World's borders"
