X-Loves: From Another World
Chapter 15: The Sacred Library

A very large room was seen before their eyes. A room they used to visit every day in the academy, but this was much bigger and amazing.

“Yups. Welcome to the Sacred Library of Jailolo. Home where all the secret science in Tierra Hyuma neatly stored,”

“Whoa... This, amazing,” Anna said with a gaping mouth. Meanwhile, Dwi was unable to say anything.

“Here, all the unwritten science in any library throughout this Tierra Hyuma, is in this room.” Said the white-haired student.

The two of them were truly amazed to see the vastness of the library. They walked slowly forward while looking in different directions. A short time later a little girl's voice came from the front stairs.

“Wado what is this.. Eh Kak Aldy,”.

She was a little girl who was physically in her 10s, yet they did not want to guess her real age. The girl had blue eyes and very long blonde hair. She was wearing a light blue dress that resembled a robe. He ran towards the white-haired student.

“Eh... Tia... Here, they are the two people we have been waiting for all this time,” said the student.

Hearing that, Anna was confused by what he was actually talking about.

“Eh wait, you guys waiting for us? So, who are you guys?” asked Anna confused.

The white-haired student finally introduced himself to the boy.

“My name is Aldy Heraldy, Da class president, young witch from the Land of Siak. And this is Pearl, keeper of the Sacred Library of Jailolo.”

“Hehe... Greetings know brother,”.

Hearing that made Anna and Dwi shocked. That is their true identity.

“Ehh?”

Aldy also invited them to sit at a round table near two large bookshelves while accompanied by a cup of tea made by Pearl.

“Uhm. Jago pearls make tea also turns out,” praise Anna.

“Hehe... not really kok, kak.” replied Pearl low while scratching the back of her hair.

“Aldy, what exactly does all this mean? Why are you waiting for us and calling us as ‘sang rescuer’ Tierra Hyuma? What will happen to this world?” ask Dwi directly. That guy was indeed happy to ask to the point rather than pleasantries.

“Happy you asked, I'm just going to explain it now. Tia, can you bring me those notes?” aldy replied while telling Pearl to bring something.

“Good sister, Hyaa..”

Pearl brought what Aldy told her, a bunch of brownish notes that were a little dusty, but she used telekinesis magic to carry them. This again attracted Anna's attention. Aldy then opened a sheet.

“This is why I called you here, and believe that you are the ‘sang saviour’” Aldy said as he showed me a piece of writing.

“Aduh... again beraksara Rejang.” Anna complained about not being able to read it. It seems that Rejang is the most frequently used character in this Alternative Nusantara.

“If you are confused I will explain. These are the records of Tidore made after the Fourth Tierra Hyuma Kingdom War. Here it is written that when the great war was almost over, there was a major incident due to human error that almost wiped out all of humanity on the planet,” Aldy explained.

“Means?” ask Dwi.

“continue here. It all starts here.” Aldy took the other sheet.

“Oh, after that it must be them..” Anna tried to guess and it turned out to be true.

“Yup, destroy the city. But it's not just that. Azazel also stole some ancient manuscripts in the city and found something big. An ancient weapon buried in the depths of the Banda Sea. A device with extremely powerful magic capable of controlling all living things in Tierra Hyuma, the Pyramid of Esa. Surely he will resurrect the tool.” explained Aldy.

“Continue now where are Azazel and his four Elders?” ask Dwi.

“He had gone to the Banda Sea, but was restrained by the magicians in Jailolo. The battle was not inevitable either. Azazel and his four Elders retreated and fled into the sky.” Aldy replied.

“Lah, then good dong, he must have been caught with an attack by that many troops,” said Anna recklessly, but Aldy denied it.

“Sorry, but I didn't say this was done,”

Anna was silent to hear that. Aldy continued to explain.

“Azazel fled to the sky, but he vowed to return to this land along with his four Elders with far more formidable abilities. Indeed we won at the time, but Jailolo was devastated by his attack, and it took months to recover. I can't imagine if he returns again with more powerful abilities, how the fate of this city, or even this world,”

Anna and Dwi could only fall silent on hearing it. Their intention to find a way out was even held back by something very complicated and dangerous.

“But, good fortune may still be on our side,” Aldy said.

“Means?” ask Anna.

“A moment after Azazel escaped, a note he held came loose and we managed to get it. And it turns out it was an ancient manuscript written by a psychic thousands of years ago. We managed to translate the manuscript which explained, ‘there will be two strangers who come down here and save the world from a very big danger’, and we believe that both of them are you, and we believe that both of them are, Anna Sahilatua and Dwi Septianto,” explained Aldy.

The two did not really understand what Aldy was explaining. Yet they draw a conclusion, ‘maybe they are the saviors of this parallel world’. At first they were not sure, but they were forced to do it because maybe what he said was the truth. And maybe this is a way for them to get back to the real world.

“Yosh... You two are the chosen ones to save this magical world,” said Pearl of Joy.

Hearing that, Anna suddenly remembered something.

“...Magic.... Oh yes, Brother Aldy, I want to ask you something,”.

“Hmm?”

“All activities in this world use magic instead, Mr. Rudy once explained that in times of war, humanity here tends to use technology, but post-war, the existence of technology

it seems to be lost to civilization. So where are those technologies?” ask Anna.

Aldy who heard it smiled and answered slowly.

“Use of technology..has been banned..in this whole world,”.

Both were shocked to hear it.

“What? How can?” Anna was surprised to hear that, while covering her gaping mouth in shock.

“Azazel is a technology engineering project for war. But in its development it has created a big problem for this world. The world community began to be allergic to technology, especially after they prefer to use magic in their daily lives. And at its peak, the Tierra Hyuma Association of Nations decided to ban the use and development of technology across the country in this world,” Aldy said.

“Oh, so it is, deservedly,” Anna said in her heart.

The curtains began to open. What is really happening in this parallel world is starting to become clear. Anna and Dwi really become ‘great hope’ for this world. Inevitably they also have to follow the course of their lives here. Is this a way to get them back to the real world?
