The man then sighed and said, "Fred Cecil."
Robert saw the man "Nice to meet you, Fred."
Fred pointed towards the upcoming dark clouds and asked Robert, "Say...ancient magic uses clouds to produce lightning, as well as to summon people from other dimensions or worlds."
Robert got shocked by the random word placement from Fred; some cracks came in his act of Robert Smith. He didn't know what to do; he just wanted to escape somewhere else.
"Never mind, you're just another dumb peasant; you probably don't know what a dimension is."
The man mocked Robert, but Robert didn't mind it because he was saved.
Robert started acting clueless. "Dimensions? no idea what those are."
The man smiled and then laughed; it wasn't heartfelt, nor was it mocking; it was just a laugh.
The man then slowly stopped and then said, "Rohit...you're so funny."
Robert froze, his eyes widening and his mouth opening. He stepped back and then started running out of the house; his footsteps were tapping through the floor as everyone could hear it.
He got out of the mansion with no one in his way.
Sh*t, my identity has been revealed! What should I do? What should I do?! ...., how about I catch a ship going to Astrid and spend the rest of my life there as a shopkeeper...? I don't know; I just need to escape!
Rohit was indeed a foolish man. According to the record he read in the library, he knew that in the 1st decade, otherworlders who came were burnt on town squares of this place, as they were powerless like Rohit and were seen as dangerous and outcasts.
As he was running through the roads and streets of the city, the buildings started to turn into creepy, twisted shapes, and people started disappearing.
The colors of the world started becoming more red and black. It continued on, and after some time, he was engulfed in a void again.
He woke up and saw that he was sitting on a wooden chair that didn't have cushioning. In front of him, the same woman was sitting opposite him on a more comfortable chair.
She had long golden hair that was braided with some stray strands, her dark-blue noble dress glistening in the blur of rays of light that came out of nowhere.
"Welcome, Rohit." She said her voice was soft.
"You're that strange woman." Rohit said he saw that he was no longer in the body of Robert Smith; he was in his own body.
"As you can see, this isn't one of those ridiculous dimensions; it is something more pristine...something worth losing your sanity to," she said with a smile.
He saw that she was playing chess, but the pieces on the opposite side of her were moving by a blue floating glitter.
She then leaned back and looked in the eyes of Rohit. "My name is Lunaris, the one who brought you into this world."
Rohit suddenly slammed the table and reached his hands towards Lunaris, but his hand was stopped by that shiny blue glitter.
"You're so violent, trash to say the least..." She said without expression and while looking at the chessboard.
"You're the one who brought me to this world! to this suffering and having to keep up an act of someone not me!" Rohit barked.
"And? Who do you think you are? A boy...who was going to commit suicide after 3 months that is now saved because I transmigrated him into another world?" She said without pausing as she captured a bishop on the board.
Rohit suddenly stopped and looked down. He knew he had suicidal tendencies back when he was in his own body due to a lack of self and just studying, and the trauma of his parents' death and the abuse he faced from his uncle and aunt when he was taken to them.
several nights of hunger and despair along with depression and the load of responsibilities.
Why don't I jump from this building?, He always thought when he was at his balcony or on top of a high building.
"I'm conflicted in my decisions whether to go back to Earth or not...," Rohit said as he sat back in the chair.
"Why did you call me here?" Rohit asked.
"Find the Fragments of Lunaris; there are 6, spread across 2 beasts of infinity and the other 4 in the 4 archangels." She said as she eliminated the queen and continued, "And I will then get in my original form and then give you a choice, whether to return to your world or remain here as an outcast, and...once you complete the mission, I will tell you the third." She said as she checkmated the king, the shiny blue glitters started glowing and then blinded Robert.
"You have a part of me in you now, Rohit...you're the exception to order from now on." Rohit heard it as he woke up at 1 A.M. of the night.
He got up from the bed and checked his body. He was in the body of Robert Smith. When he checked his drawer, he found his wand.
So this is before I was ambushed by those two.
He looked at the date and saw that 1 hour was remaining to the shipment of the box with a red cross.
