The man came out of the bar and put the revolver in his hand behind the coat he was wearing. As he walked, the man exuded a dangerous aura that could make anyone want to rush away.
The long scar on his right eye added to the horrible impression, what else if he saw his cold blue eyeball. Really a horrible person.
In front of the bar, there were countless people in black suits gathering. They saw the man who had just come out of the bar, and they lined up and made way for him to pass.
The man walked very leisurely, not caring about the surroundings. He flicked his finger as an excuse to follow her. Upon hearing the cue, people in black suits followed the man from behind.
The spring breeze blew, the shadow of these people gradually faded into the darkness of the night. All just waiting for time, the bloody tragedy of the city of Elishien will soon happen.

On the other hand, Liyuna was soundly asleep in her room which was just lit up by a sleeping light.
In his deep sleep, he was somewhere he had been. Yes, this is a familiar place, once he had come to this place.
A place so bright as if all the light in the world was sealed in that place. Liyuna's feet treaded on a void and it felt like stepping on the sky. This reminds him of the incident a few years ago when he fell down the stairs. When he was unconscious, he was in this empty place.
Despite calling, no one came. A place so empty and empty.
Liyuna walked slowly through the expanse of light that gushed everywhere. This seemingly endless place gave no fear in Liyuna's heart but a sense of calm and peace.
Liyuna did not know how long she had been walking, during the journey she had not seen anything other than the light which strangely did not make her eyes glare.
His two small legs finally stopped when both senses of his eyes saw a large gazebo made of gold and decorated with pure diamonds. The gazebo looks very beautiful and sparkling, what else with light shining in every corner. Inside the gazebo Liyuna saw someone standing there.
The figure of a pitch black haired woman that was surging long reached her skinny back. Liyuna walked up to the woman and was about to ask who she was but broke her intentions after seeing the woman raise her right hand which was held by a blue butterfly.
The butterfly reminded her of the necklace Karl had given her before when she was 7, before Yuriel entered her life.
"Excuse me..." Said Liyuna in a soft voice.
Hearing Liyuna's voice, the butterfly in the woman's hand seemed to feel surprised because she flew away and left immediately.
Actually Liyuna felt strange with the butterfly because she did not know where it came from. In this place of nothing, why could there be a butterfly that suddenly appeared? Liyuna did not understand.
The woman turned towards Liyuna with a movement that looked slow but sure. Both of Liyuna's eyeballs were perfectly rounded as she stared at the familiar female figure.
It was Liyuna.
No, rather Liyuna was the original owner of the body that she currently occupied.
Liyuna opened her mouth, she wanted to say something but her voice would not come out.
The woman smiled looking at Liyuna who came to him.
"Hello. nice to meet you, Liyuna."
"You..."
The woman walked over to Liyuna. She walked so gracefully in a red dress that looked so beautiful.
"No need to be surprised."
"Are you the real Liyuna?"
"W-what really happened to me? Why am I here? No, I mean.. What happened to my real body?" Liyuna couldn't help but question which she had been locked in all this time. Upon seeing the real Liyuna he could not help but ask.
"Calm down, there's no need to rush."
The woman, known as the real Liyuna, returned to the gazebo and sat there. He asked Liyuna to follow him.
"What was your name in the world before?" Ask the woman.
Liyuna who had never told anyone her name in the first place felt a little doubtful. All this time, in order to maintain her identity and so that she did not lose her identity she had always convinced herself that she was Liyuna but when she heard someone ask her real name, she did not know what to do.
"Riana."
"It's nice to meet you, Riana."
Riana remained silent. It had been a long time since he had heard someone mention his real name. He never thought his name was something precious, nor did he have any disappointment in parting with it. Not because he didn't like it but because it was a name he didn't know who gave it.
Ever since she took over Liyuna's body, Riana had experienced an identity crisis. He no longer knew who he was but everything improved a little as he changed his way of thinking. He just had to think that he was Liyuna and that in the past he was someone who played the game where Liyuna was. He tried very hard to accept that Liyuna was his new self.
"Are you here to take back your body?" Riana asked what she wanted to know.
Why would he be able to take over Liyuna's body? Where is the real Liyuna? And what is the meaning of the images that he often sees in dreams and daydreams.
The real Liyuna smiled, she looked so beautiful when she smiled like that. She was the image of when Liyuna was in her twenties and Riana could imagine how beautiful Liyuna was back then.
"That's impossible, my soul is dead."
Riana was shocked to hear Liyuna say. If Liyuna had said that her soul had died then her otherworldly self had also suffered the same fate. I don't know what, he died playing the game Red String.
"How can you?"
"There's a reason why you're here to replace me. But that's something you don't need to think about right now. It's not time you knew about it."
"Why?"
Liyuna did not reply, Riana knew Liyuna was reluctant to answer her question because that was why she tried not to force her too much and decided to switch the topic.
"I always see something when I'm sleeping or when I see an object that can trigger a picture. What picture do I see..." Riana hung up her words, she asked for confirmation from the real Liyuna.
"That's the memory I have."
Riana was not too surprised to hear this but she felt there was something strange. If that was indeed Liyuna's original memory, how could her timeline not match? Riana always saw the picture with a random timeline where Liyuna suddenly became an adult or a child.
"Unfortunately, the end I saw was..."
Not until Riana continued her words, suddenly a strong wind blew. Making her hair fly covered both her eyes and when she reopened it, Riana was already in her room. He looked at the ceiling of the room and pondered the dream he had just seen.
He wanted to talk about many things with the original Liyuna and he also wanted to know the real reason she entered this world.
But he had to wait a little longer for the answer he was looking for.
