Route 1: THE DREAM 7.0

The fight between the black dragon and Cain, together with his contracted spirit has already ended. And just like how the it should happen, the black dragon died a miserable death.

His wings are cut off, his right arm, his left leg, his tail is badly injured and lastly his head was cut off from its body as well.

I continued to observe Cain; he finally made his contracted spirit disappear and he walked towards the dead dragon’s body.

And in just a blink of an eye, his sword with magic stone embedded on it was pierced right through the dragon’s chest.

I frowned because I was curious of what he is actually going to do.

He then sliced the dragon’s chest and in just a minute, he is now holding on his right hand the heart of the black dragon he just killed.

I can’t help but to ask myself on what do he actually plan with that heart. But that question was immediately answered when glowing light suddenly enveloped the black heart of the dragon in just a couple of seconds, the heart disappeared from his hand, and it turned into light gold ashes.

He purified the black dragon’s heart. I don’t specifically know the reason for that since books have no information on the effects if on purifies a black dragon’s heart. However, I am sure about one thing, and that is it is his way of making sure that the black dragon he just killed will rest in peace. In other words, what he just did is a funeral for the dragon.

“Let’s go, we have no business here anymore” - I said to Aesir and Alarick and before they could even answer, I immediately used my teleportation magic and in just a blink of an eye I am already back in my home and in just a second later my familiars arrived as well.

I immediately removed my mask from my face and I burned it using my black flames.

“Remove the restrictions from the forest now” - I said and Alarick nod his head. He scratch the floor with his right front paw and then *poof* the barrier around the forest disappeared.

I walked towards the stairs but even before I could take a step going up, I stopped first from my tracks and I turn around to look at the two.

“I’ll change my clothes first then the three of us will have a serious conversation. And when I say serious, you two have to tell me nothing but the truth” - I said and I saw a confused look on their faces. I ignored that look and I continued on my way because they should be able to figure out to themselves what I am talking about.

They really should have told me about that written destiny they said a while ago. Because if they did then I wouldn’t have expected that much in the fight. Even if it’s just a hunch that the legendary dragon is a contracted spirit of Cain, then they still could have informed me of that thing.

They could have just given me a damn hunch about it. Wait— Speaking of… I am also hiding something from them in the first place, so isn’t it fair if they too hide something from me although they are my contracted familiars?

And since that f*cking system is no longer here, and technically I already own my life for six long years now, doesn’t that mean that I can already tell the two that I am born in this world, however my soul is from another? And that I have retained my past life memories?

Wait— if I am going to tell them that, then it is going to be a great bargaining chip so that they too will tell me about that woven destiny they are talking about.

Hmm yes— I’ll do that.

• A few moments later •

I have already finished talking a bath and changing my clothes. Of course just like the usual, I burned my clothes using black flames because it is possible that Cain will be able to trace something from those clothes. Like electromagnetic waves coming from the ashes attached to the fabric, or the energy from the magic stones because technically my whole body has been exposed to those things.

Although I made sure that I created a barrier at myself in concealing my presence that does not mean that my clothes will remain concealed of those things. I am just being cautious because he may actually come visit our house anytime and he may feel something unusual around my house.

Not to mention ashes from monsters or the energy from magic stones are not easily removed when you wash them. How did I know that? Well I just read a book that I borrowed in the library of this tow three days ago about magic stones and monsters.

Although there is still no proven evidence that a person could really feel those things, I should still be careful because Cain is the Hero of this game— no— of this world and being so overpowered it is possible that he can do it.

As I walked down the stairs I immediately used my powers to create a barrier around the house. A barrier that can first avoid unwanted guest from eavesdropping and second to avoid the magic tower from detecting my magic just in case if I use it too much.

Isn’t the magic tower going to detect my magic anyway since I already summoned a barrier? No they will not because anyone can summon a barrier if they have already mastered their minor abilities and they can never figure out what barrier a person just summoned.

I really can’t believe that mages are that stupid. Is the grand magus really allowing his descendants to be this stupid? Anyway it is not even my concern anymore.

I used my power to lock the front door and even put a seal on it to not let anyone forcefully enter. Second is I also made sure to do the same with all of the windows around the house.

After doing so I immediately increased the speed of my walk. When I reached the end of the hallway, I immediately pulled down the candle-stand on the wall and the wall in front of me opened up and stairs also appeared.

I immediately took a step going down and I continued doing so. As I went farther down, the wall closed and the candles that are hanging on the wall instantly lit up.

How did that happen? I don’t know as well, but one thing is for sure, this basement has already my magic imprinted on it, so it acts accordingly when I am around. How did it happen? Well when I first tried out if the basement is really that sturdy and if it is made from things that can nullify magic.

After a few more steps, I finally reached the room that is made of materials that can nullify any kind of magic. I immediately saw, Aesir and Alarick in their human forms.

I heave a deep sigh and I look at the two with seriousness in my eyes.

“Now let us talk about everything” I said and both of them frowned at me. It is obvious that they still don’t know what I am talking about.

Gosh! Here I thought that they were able to guess what I said a while ago before I took a bath and changed my clothes.

Anyway, it does not matter, this is not even a guessing game so it is totally fine.

“You said a while ago that the black dragon’s death is already written the moment he was born. Tell me, how did you know that? If you did, why the f*ck did you not tell me about that information? Are there still some information that you know and you are hiding for me?” - I said and I sounded a lot more serious than my usual tone of voice, not to mention that I am raising my eyebrow at the two. Even if they have no plans on telling me what they know, I will still find a way to do so. Of course, I will not use the contract that binds the three of us. If they will still not share with me the information that they have due to some concerns and I’ve already used everything I have on my sleeve, then I will not force them anymore.

The two looked at each other and they nod their heads as if they have already agreed to answer my question. Well if that’s the case then that’s good. At least I am not going to use coercion or my bargaining style anymore.

“We can only say that in the spirit realm, we have this book called Book of Destinies, where all of the destinies of spirits are written and sometimes these destines are entangled with that of a human being” - Alarick said and just after he finished talking a book appeared on his right hand and he even showed it to me.

“This is the Book of Destinies, master. However we are not allowed to spill its contents to anyone. Because it will distort what is supposed to happen. That’s why we chose to stay silent about the destiny of that dragon” - Aesir said and after she finished talking as well, the book that had appeared on Alarick’s right hand disappeared automatically.

If the spirit realm has that Book of Destinies thing and Alarick and Aesir are the only ones who can access it, then it is clear that they have known everything from the start, which is comparable to my knowledge of this world, especially the things that are bound to happen.

And Alarick mentioned that the book contains the destinies of spirits and sometimes humans that are most probably going to have a contract signed with one. If that’s the case, then this two should have known from the start that they are going to be familiars with a human being and that human being should have been described in that book right?

Since, they were able to know that the black dragon is going to get killed by Cain, the hero.

So if that’s the case, then it is possible that they have known from the start that I should have not been the woman that has been able to form a contract with them.

“Be honest with me, am I mentioned in that book even before the three of us signed a contract?” - I directly asked and once again the two looked at each other for a few seconds before they turned their gazes back at me.

“We are sorry master, but we cannot disclose that information” - Aesir said which instantly made me heave a deep sigh. Damn. I bet they too are not expecting me to be their master, there’s a possibility that they were quite confused at first on why am I the person who summoned and formed a contract with them and not the female lead who has superb light magic abilities.

I bet up until this point they are quite confused on how the heck am I able to anticipate things and plan ahead of time. Anyway, since they’ve told me an information about that book of destinies or what so ever. I guess it is also fair if I will be honest with them.

Since similarly, the three of us know what will happen in the future, the only difference we have is how we actually came to know it, I guess I also need to tell them how and why.

“I bet my name wasn’t even written in that Book of Destinies of yours. Hmm if I remember correctly at this age, I am supposed to be at the mansion with my unloving family and trying to get the attention of the crown prince right?” - I said in a matter of fact tone as I use my magic to pull a chair towards my direction and I immediately took a sit.

When I did, my gaze returned to their faces and the two seemed shocked, no matter how hard they tried to hide it. It still shows, and of course I already know them too well. I can easily read their expressions when they are using their human forms

“I know you are very confused as to why did all of those immediate changes happen. I am also going to tell you the reason why I ended up having those mysterious wounds six years ago. I know you two are very curious on how and why I got those wounds when nothing is even attacking me.” - I said and the two of them just stared at me, like they are really waiting for me to tell them what happened six years ago.

I am actually planning to tell them next year, during my coming of age ceremony, but it is better if I told them now. At least they are going to be aware on the reason behind every decision I make.

“My real name is Isabella Red Johnson and technically I am not from this world. I died the age of twenty-seven or twenty eight. Cause of death was a car accident, if you are going to compare it in the accidents happening in this world, it is comparable to when one carriage is so fast to stop from its tracks and it hit another along its way. So, in general, I experienced transmigration, wherein my soul in that world was transferred here in this world and in this body of Scarlett Mila Bicester” - I straightforwardly said and I could see in their faces that they are too shocked to believe what I just said. It seems like they are still processing the information that I had gave them. Anyway it is only natural, anyone would be surprised if they knew that a soul can transfer from one world or another

Not to mention that they may not believe that another world does exist in the first place. Anyway, before I could give the whole story about it, I will let them digest the preliminary information first.

Anyway, we still have ample of time before I can apply to be an adventurer and proceed with my next plan.
