“I know that this world has aliens, but what the heck is wrong with him?!” Nathan slammed the table while pointing at the man wearing a black suit behind him. He also had sunglasses. His appearance wasn’t like any other person in this world.
Meanwhile, the one in front of Nathan was a beautiful woman. She had blond hair and light blue eyes. She wasn’t a human, especially with those short, pointy ears as well as a pair of butterfly wings on her back.
With a sly smile on her face, she asked, “My illusion only reflects what you have in mind. In other words, it is you who is giving that form. I should be the one asking. How are you able to possess all this knowledge?”
Nathan froze as the woman turned serious, her eyes scanning him.
They were even inside a small and cold room with only a table and a pair of chairs facing each other. It felt like they were in the interrogation room.
How could this happen?
…
Ten minutes ago.
Nathan panted heavily, feeling tired. “This is not looking good. We have been walking for two days, but we haven’t found anything.”
“Are we going to go back then? Since the trip has failed, I don’t think it’s better to continue like this. It will just waste our time. You should focus on getting stronger than this,” Anubis suggested.
“That’s what I want to do as well, but I have decided to spend one week, so it will be one week. I believe there are two things you can hold from a man. The first one is his promise. If I take back my own words, I will lose that credibility.”
“The second one?”
“Anyway, we’ll continue until seven days have passed.”
“Ignored, huh? What is the second one?” Anubis frowned.
To his surprise, he saw a silhouette in the distance. “Huh? Isn’t that?”
Anubis squinted his eyes. “There is a person standing over there. He is wearing some thick clothes, but for some reason, he is not sweating. That’s weird.”
As soon as he heard Anubis’ confirmation, Nathan rushed to that guy. “That’s the guide. Oi! I’m here!”
The closer he was, the clearer the guide was. The man was actually wearing a black suit like a modern man. It was a plain black suit that didn’t match with all kinds of suits he had seen in this world.
He didn’t know why, but this must be the guide. There was no way someone would be foolish enough to stand in the middle of the desert for no reason. He wasn’t even sweating.
It only took ten seconds for Nathan to cover the distance, confirming the identity of the person.
“You… Are you the guide?!”
“Yes.” The man nodded. He looked at Nathan with a serious expression before turning to Anubis.
“What is the trial? Let me get over this as quickly as possible.” Nathan just wanted to get this done, not wanting to make another mistake.
“I will take you to the library immediately.”
“What? Are you serious? No trial?”
“You have passed the trial,” the man answered casually. “Because you told her about the suffering the village is currently experiencing, they will be able to get by for a while, and the summoner from the Holy Kingdom will come to take down the alien that causes this problem.”
“Oh? You don’t need me to kill that alien?”
“If you have the strength to fight against a mature class alien, then feel free to do so.”
“Eh? It seems I have passed the test. Yay!” Nathan celebrated it with half-hearted cheers.
“If you want to enter the library, please recall your familiar and take off your sunglasses.”
Nathan turned to Anubis and nodded his head.
Although he was worried about his safety, he followed Nathan’s wish and vanished into thin air.
As soon as Nathan took off his sunglasses, the man took out a small metal cylinder.
“Wait. What the—” Before he could finish his words, his consciousness faded.
“—hell?” Nathan continued his words, but this time, the scenery had changed. He was inside a square space. He couldn’t help but shout, “I know that this world has aliens, but what next? Is there an organization that will make people forget while saving the world from aliens?”
“My illusion only reflects what you have in mind. In other words, it is you who is giving that form. I should be the one asking. How are you able to possess all this kind of knowledge?”
“!!!” Nathan heard that feminine voice coming from the front. He was reacting so hard that he hadn’t seen the people around him.
He froze when he found out the current situation he was in. “What is this? Isn’t this kidnapping?”
“You wanted to enter my library, so I invited you in. And now, you are actually telling me that this is a kidnapping case? Do you know how ridiculous you sound right now?”
Nathan looked at the woman in front of him. “You are the fairy queen?”
“I am indeed the fairy queen Charlotte.”
Nathan looked at her before turning to the mysterious man and repeated it a few times.
“There is no need to be shocked. Everything in this place is actually an illusion formed by your memory. In other words, this is the reflection of your own memory.” Charlotte smiled.
“Are you kidding me?” Nathan gasped. He stood up and took a step back. The moment he tried circulating his Ena was the time he realized nothing escaped the fairy queen’s eyes.
This place was the reflection of his mind, so he had shown he wasn’t like any other person in this world. In addition, Charlotte could feel the Ena, but Nathan simply couldn’t summon any of his familiars.
“You are not going anywhere because you are inside my illusion. In fact, your real body is sleeping right now. You can’t summon your familiars in your dream.” Charlotte’s smile became even scarier.
Nathan never thought he would screw up.
Charlotte repeated her question. “How are you able to possess this memory?”
