Why am I here?

    This is a dark passage, and I don''t remember when I entered here...

    Oh? There''s a light at the end of it in that direction.

    Nothing to do, let''s just walk towards it...

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I don''t know how much time passed here, but probably more than half an hour and it doesn''t seem I am advancing toward it...

    Also, it''s strange... I can''t use my skills here...

    Also my passive of is not working... what is going on?

    Oh, right. Why didn''t I done that before?

    ''System, what is going on? Where am I?''

    ...

    Eh? Neither my skills not the System is working here.

    Let''s quicken the pace...

    MH?

    Swoooooosh~

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Really, I don''t know anymore.

    First that dark tunnel, and now a nighttime sea...

    But this time there''s actually someone in the shore...

    Better go talk to him.

    Jean: Excuse me...

    The old man turns his face towards me.

    ???: Oh? What rare occurrence for someone arrive here...

    The old man has a really long brown beard and also long hair of the same color. Her irises are of a somewhat shiny blue.

    From what I see, as he is topless, his body is really well-toned with really well-shaped abs, but her face is emanating an air of a wise man that lived a really long life...

    ???: Oi boy. I probably know what you want to know, but before that can I make a question?

    Jean: Yes, please go ahead.

    ???: What do you think the stars are?

    Jean: The stars? I am not completely sure, but I remember that is an enormous reactor where the Hydrogen is fused together and form Helium, well almost all of that is something like that.

    ???: Oooh, an approach from a scientific perspective.

    Jean: Yeah.

    ???: But do you think that''s all?

    Jean: ...What do you mean?

    ???: Mmmh, let me ask you another question. Why some stars and constellation have a name?

    Jean: Why? Because they... resemble something?

    Why do I think that something is not right?

    ???: Hahaha, so you think that someone knows about the people or anything that is mentioned?

    Jean: Surely not...

    ???: Then, what about achievements?

    Jean: Achievement?

    ??? Yes, somewhat that the universe itself would remember for eternity... a real Achievement.

    Jean: So all the stars and the constellations that I see are all achievements of someone?

    ???: Not all, we can only see a very microscopic part of those...

    ???: In the point of view you call ''scientific'', the stars are born, they grow and at the end, they die and leave something to give birth to another one, right?

    ???: But if you see from my perspective, they are only waiting to shine another time.

    Jean: ...Old man, you sure thought it really hard...

    ???: Hahaha, it is only the tip of the iceberg.

    ???: Then, what do you think about that?

    Jean: ...That''s really cool and romantic. I mean, who doesn''t want a sign of herself imprinted in the universe?

    ???: Right? And, if it is really that, how would you want to be imprinted?

    Jean: I''ll make an achievement so great that will make anyone envious. It will be so great that even the universe will have a problem of space with how big and beautiful will be.

    ???: Hahaha, that''s the spirit, boy!

    Jean: By the way, I''m Jean. Who are you?

    ???: Me? I''m *****a***.

    Jean: Sorry, it seems my ears are a bit pressurized. Can you repeat?

    And a burning sensation came from my heart.

    Improvise and too much strong

    Jean: HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

    Ah... it is too much... At this rate, I''ll probably pass out.

    ???: Bye********** ***** ****** *****.

    The old man said something, but I could not comprehend anything of that...

    And as I was closing my eyes, he turned his sight to the night sky.

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Jean: HAAAA... HAAaaa.

    [****** Quest ****** added]

    I woke up panting a lot.

    What type of nightmare had I to have a reaction like that?

    I don''t remember anything apart from... the stars...?

    Why would have I to dream about stars?

    Haruhime: Jean, are you ok? Your face seems pale...

    Jean: Don''t worry, it was only a nightmare... give me five minutes and I''ll recover.

    Haruhime: Ok... but for today, don''t exert yourself too much, and remember that I and our goddess are here if you need anything, ok?

    Jean: Yeah... I''ll make sure to talk with you if anything happens...

    Jean: I''ll wash my face meanwhile you start to prepare breakfast... I''ll need a lot of energy at the start of the day!

    Haruhime: Yeah!

    Today I have to train a bit with Haru before heading to the dungeon with her. I am sure that a dream, and a nightmare at that, is really important, but if I don''t remember anything, trying to remember it will only make it worse...

    *Slap*

    Jean: This is not the moment, I''ll train with Haru, and in the afternoon I''ll read the Lemegeton and start to plan to forge my weapon!

    A day is in front of me, and there isn''t time to lose!

    Let''s work for the future!

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Meantime in a beach under the night sky...

    ???: Hahaha, an achievement too great for the universe... those words are really the words of a man...

    The old man lay down in the sand, with the eye fixed in a particular spot of the sky...

    ???: But, these words might be a bit too much for yourself right now.

    ???: As one that saw a bit in the future, I really don''t know what will be for you, but I''ll cheer for you... baby strange star...

    And he starts to sleep...
