Chance was in the middle of scrolling through his feed because he was in his free time. He has just finished submitting a report about the clan of Lynxes that Professor Adam assigned to him. Now that he was finally done with it, Professor Adams gave him time to rest.

    He was resting his chin on his open palm, with his elbow placed on his desk, obviously bored as he stare at his laptop''s screen because he has nothing to study about yet.

    He could use his free time to chat with his online friends, but then he remembered they are busy and are not yet online. He sighed, "What to do, what to do..." he muttered in boredom.

    He leaned down his chair with his head bent back as he stared at the ceiling. He stood up and shut his laptop down and closed it, finding nothing to do.

    He decided to just use his phone while lying down. He jumped onto his bed, face flat onto the mattress. "I am so boreddd. Why is my life like this?" He said to himself and it echoed inside his room. He was just alone in his unit all these years.

    He has friends but only on the internet. Never had friends, a crush, moments to remember with others, but he guessed it was just natural for a loner like him.

    He was about to close his eyes and just sleep his boredom away when all of the sudden he heard a short vibrating sound and he turned to look at his phone that lit up. ''Oh, a notification. Finally.'' he thought, and hurriedly grabbed the device.

    He opened his phone and the first thing he saw in the notification bar was the name of one of his online friends. ''Ah, it''s Fuse.''

    He clicked it, and it brought him to the messenger app of Fatebook. He saw that the group chat of the three of them were still offline, which means Ruther and Andy have not yet sent them a message. ''Direct message from Fuse...what does he need?''

    [Fuse: ''Sup, Chance.]

    [Oh, Fuse. What''s wrong? Do you need something?]

    [Fuse: Woah, damn. Do I look like I only message my friends when I need something?]

    [Andy messaged me the other day, asking me how to shut you up. You kept saying that you need money to buy a new gadget that was just released.]

    [Fuse: What no I didn''t]

    [You did.]

    [Fuse: I''m rich, I don''t need others'' money...hehe]

    [Your father froze your accounts]

    [Fuse: Sht I don''t wanna remember that]

    [Last time you messaged me, you needed help with your assignment in Canares history class.]

    [Fuse: I hate history class and no matter what I do my ears won''t let me listen to the professor teaching that class.]

    [Fuse: It''s so boring, I always fall asleep whenever I take that subject.]

    [Fuse: Oh umm...sorry to say this to a historian hehe]

    [I hear complaints like that a lot, no worries.]

    [Fuse: But anyway, I''m not chatting you because I need something.]

    [Fuse: Can''t a friend chat you just ''cause he wants to chat?]

    [Well, I guess so...]

    [But are you not busy?]

    [Ruther and Andy seem to be busy.]

    [Fuse: Unlike them, especially you, I have lots of free time in my hands.]

    [Ohhh, good for you.]

    [Fuse: Not that good, I''m bored.]

    [Same]

    [Fuse: If I had the brains that you have, that''ll be great. I''ll pass every subject easily.]

    [It''s not like I''m born smart. I work hard and study hard, intelligence is not something you''re born with, it''s something you get from learning and experience.]

    [Fuse: Well said, Professor.]

    [Silly, I''m not a professor yet.]

    [Fuse: We all know you will be. Adams has a lot of expectations from you. Maybe he is already planning to make you a professor as well.]

    [That would be great, but I still have a long way to go.]

    [Fuse: Sometimes I wonder why you got so interested in history. I can''t seem to find the reason whenever I''m in that subject''s class.]

    [Well what do you like?]

    [Fuse: Technology interests me. I always think about what new devices would come in the future or what will Canares be like in the following years.]

    [Then that''s it. You don''t like history much because you''re invested in technology, something that connects to the future.]

    [I like learning about history because it connects to the past. We both have something we prefer based on our own reasons.]

    [Not every person likes the same thing that the other would. We wonder why they like something, and they probably wonder the same about us as well.]

    [Fuse: I get to see the thoughts of a future professor, how cool.]

    [Fuse: hahahaha]

    [Fuse: We both like the opposite, you like the past, I like the future. Yet it makes one thing similar between the two of us.]

    [What is it?]

    [Fuse: Curiosity]

    [Fuse: We have two different interests yet we are both curious about it.]

    Chance stared at his phone. It was the first time he got to talk to Fuse about this kind of topic. He never knew he would an actual serious or proper topic with him since he always jokes around.

    [Then...have you never been curious about what you were like]

    [Fuse: What I was like?]

    [In the past]

    There was a short moment where Fuse did not reply and left the message as ''seen'' but a little while the three dots floated, indicating that he was typing a reply.

    [Fuse: To be honest]

    [Fuse: I''ve never thought about it.]

    [Fuse: What I was like in the past...]

    [Fuse: Hmm, Chance, you believe in past lives?]

    [Well, I don''t know.]

    [But it''s interesting]

    [If ever there was, have you never thought about it? Never been curious about the past?]

    [Fuse: Hahahaha]

    [Why are you laughing?]

    [Fuse: No, I''m just thinking, if I had a past life, then the previous me might be wondering what would his future be.]

    [Fuse: He''d probably be just like the me right now, still curious about what will happen next.]

    [Fuse: What was I like in my previous life? What would I be in my next life?]

    [Fuse: Just like how we are wondering about the past, he''s probably wondering about the future.]

    Chance cannot take his eyes off the man who had just entered the ballroom. Jasper of the Cameron House.

    Alec did tell him the Cameron House would appear, and Caliber said that it was his friend. But he never would have thought that it was Fuse!

    "W..what the hell." he muttered under his breath with his hand coming up to his lips, surprised by Jasper''s appearance in the celebration.

    The King of Antares had a displeased expression on his face, obviously did not like to see a house from Canopus. "People from Canopus, always late as ever." Cadell stated with narrowed eyes.

    "Forgive our tardiness, Your Majesty" Duke Jarvis said as he gave a bow to the King and Jasper Cameron did the same.

    "May Your Majesties be blessed by the Goddess, Glory to the union of Canopus and Antares." the two members of Cameron House greeted, showing respect to the two kings seated in front of them.

    "May you enjoy the celebration, Duke Cameron, and also to your son." Cadell responded.

    "There is as much to see in Antares as it is in Canopus. Explore and enjoy the celebration, Duke." Leonidas also said in a response.

    "We thank Your Majesties for the welcome." The two said once again and bowed and left, joining the other houses in celebrating.

    As the two people from the House of Cameron took a table ro stand at, Chance looked at them and followed as they walked the room.

    It was no doubt that it was his online friend back in the 21st century. "He is here as well." He muttered, making Caliber turn to him, hearing his words.

    "Yes, I thought he would not come. But he is most probably forced by his father to socialize." Caliber said, and Chance glanced at him.

    Chance returned his gaze to Jasper Cameron. ''What is going on? First, it was Milla, who looked exactly like Charles''s sister, Princess Carmilla Howard.'' he thought. ''And now it is Fuse! Jasper Cameron, the son of Duke Jarvis, looked exactly like my online friend!''

    [Fuse: What was I like in my previous life? What would I be in my next life?]

    Chance slowly nodded his head. ''So I was right before. Carmilla really was Milla''s past life. Milla is the reincarnation of the Princess Carmilla.'' he thought.

    And Fuse is the reincarnation of Jasper Cameron.

    Then it means there is a big chance that he will meet more of the people he knew from the 21st century in the time of the 19th century where he was currently in.

    ''Then is Professor Adam here as well? Who is Ruther and Andy in this time?'' He thought.

    [Fuse: Past and the Future, two of them are really interesting and it makes us curious.]

    [Fuse: However, your curiosity can either help you or put you in danger. It can be a blessing or a curse.]

    [Fuse: Now it is up to you, on what limits you will use your curiosity.]

    [Fuse: I do hope it helps you, Chance.]

    Chance did not notice that the one he was thinking about was already standing in front of him.

    "We meet again, Charles."
