After pointing to three different people, Elijah turned to me with a raised eyebrow. "You called each and every butler and maid just to single a few of them out? Have you done previous research on them?" To be fair, I could get where he was coming from. Calling out all the maids and butlers was definitely a nuisance. I thought about also calling the guards, but I deemed it unlikely that the fake would be among them. Still, it would be more effective if he didn't know, so... "You may ask your…-

Nathan and I waited as the guard left, while the other guard firmly kept his eyes on us, suspicious as he should be. I can't exactly take credit for this, but Nathan was able to figure out most of the backstory behind this guy. In the original game, while Natan was just at his home, Elijah would've come all the way to his own house in an attempt to kill his own mother after killing many others. The noble himself wasn't the most powerful, but he was still able to cast basic spells. In a sense, this…

The first main conflict in the game, 'Downfall From Grace', is that one noble suddenly goes on a power trip and starts abusing it beyond the unspoken rules and also begins to kill commoners. This caused quite a bit of tension to form between the noble and common class, which was one of the sparks that started most of the chaos. Naturally, the most logical thing to do with that information was to nip all of that in the bud. Though, it was a tad bit more complicated for various reasons. From how events…

"Hey, you try casting the spell on me too." Nathan spoke to me rather bluntly. He just assumed that I would be able to cast the spell just like that, when in reality that was probably not the case. "Hey, just because Natan was able to do it instantly, doesn't mean that I'll be able to as well." Nathan raised an eyebrow. "But I pretty much get all of it anyway." My eyelid twitched. A tense smile formed on my face. "Well, I wasn't able to catch up to how fast you were reading, so I didn't…

The old man continued to stare at the symbol for a long time, presumably in order to memorize it so that it could be part of his "language". I couldn't help but wonder if storing memories as letters were actually physically possible, but I decided that was something beyond me, so there wasn't much point to it. After a little while, I stared down at the tome that I had in my hands. Now that I think about it, this was originally his, right? He wouldn't like, kill me for having it or anything... right?…

To be honest, I didn't really want to hear about some old man's story. However, considering the difference in our power, it wasn't like I really had a choice in the first place. "Please go on ahead and tell me about your life." He nodded a few times before deciding to start. "I imagine my situation was actually quite similar to yours. From what I have investigated, I should be a person that was born into a noble family. However, unlike my brothers and sisters that had a high magical affinity, I…

I looked around, trying to see if anybody was in view, explaining the voice that I heard. That wouldn't explain why it sounded as though it was coming from every direction at once, but it would at least feel less strange. But there was nobody there. 'Excuse me? If you are truly from the future, then you should know what that voice was, correct?' ...Hm. Did Bryson have hallucinations in the story before? No, I don't really remember anything like that. Unless he did but just never showed it.…

Now, Nathan told me that I shouldn't let go of the rope when he explained the plan. Usually, people wouldn't say those kinds of things because that was kinda obvious. But he did emphasize it to me. Probably because he thought I might've let go of the rope, like what I was doing right now. But it couldn't be helped, the amount of rope we brought along wasn't enough to reach the bottom. So naturally, that meant falling down without the rope was the only way to get down. Now, a more sane person…

Hm... if I was afraid of the dark, this would be pretty unbearable, no? 'Please don't go any further! Stop! Stop, you fiend! What if something comes to kill my body? At the very least it must be inconvenient for you to switch to other bodies, right? Stop this at once!' Yeah, definitely considering how Bryson was acting, he was deathly afraid of the dark. That was a tad bit ironic considering his main powers were literally called dark arts. Could it be that the reason Jess acted like that before was…

I was still feeling a bit out of it after shaking back and forth like that. To be honest, I was a tad bit worried I scrambled up my insides, but everything seemed fine enough. Bryson was occasionally muttering words, but I wasn't able to piece together any full sentences. Still, I was able to gather the fact that he was stunned. Though you could probably imagine, he was yelling at me about how stupid I was pretty much the entire time while fighting. However, I was already a grandmaster at tuning…
