Twin Reincarnation: Epics Of The Worldline-Chapter 318 Subsequent events

[Cathy’s POV: ]

"Oh... did it end?"

"Probably."

The voice that we were hearing since a few days ago faded away completely and it seemed like whatever event was going on had come to a conclusion.

But it was still unbelievable.

"How fascinating... we were practically hearing this very world speak to us."

"Reciting some certain events to us would be more appropriate wording, don’t you think?"

Prince Morexis... Morax was sitting beside me like usual, staring at me like he usually does, perhaps finding something facilitating about me, again.

It had been our daily routine to just sit like this in this place where no one was looking at us, in this part of the autumn garden, sometimes having tea that he makes.

It’s pretty good that we found this place to get away from the drama that has been happening since a few days ago... the midsam exams are coming and there is practically nothing anyone knows about them.

Everyone is in dark and it’s all chaos in the school, not that we are worried about them much but still, it’s a headache when everyone asks for help.

’I can’t even say no to them...’

It was a while back that Morax dragged me here and it felt good... helping the others was something I enjoyed but doing it all day long like Nes wasn’t something I was capable of...

She was too good... too good.

She helps everyone that asks for her help, be it from our class or form the same department as hers.

There are even people that ask for ridiculous things and if she can do it, she doesn’t even try to avoid them.

’She’s practically family of El and Lucifer, but unlike the two who mostly no one approaches, she helps others who are struggling with their studies herself and helps them.’

She’s a good person... someone certainly better than me.

"Hmm... it was certainly a wonderful journey, no?"

"Certainly."

This thing, this voice describing these events since a few days ago was something that was happening all over this world. Something that everyone in the world were hearing at a the same time. And there was also some kind of video being played in some many parts of the outside world.

There were people who were raiding the most difficult dungeon of this world on the floating island present in the middle of four seas, and there was also something going on in the background that was being told by this strange voice but since there was no known context many of us did not know about the things that were being said about this voice.

’Though, for some reason, I felt like Morax knew many things that they were saying.’

Perhaps because he was the crown prince and that the thieves or the people who were raiding that place had stolen something from the imperial family, or perhaps he just knows about it like he knows all those weird things.

"It was fascinating..."

"It’s called an epic, if you want to know."

"Epic?"

[Ding!]

"Ah, looks like everyone will know about it now."

He did not tell me anything about it until this point but he was suddenly saying this entire event was called something like an epic and, as soon as he had said that, there was a unique blue status window present before me.

[Someone in the Worldline area #321CF has written their first epic!]

[Ding!]

[Someone in the Worldline area #321CF has completed the [< Journey of infamous thieves who conquered the eternal. >]

[Every individual belonging to the epic will be rewarded based on the epic’s compilation rank!]

[The Rank of the Epic is being calculated!]

"What does it mean by Worldline? And what’s this area #321 thing?"

"Well, you can say it’s kind of an address." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"An address?"

He knew about something strange once again.

It wasn’t even surprising anymore...

’He perhaps has a special skill that tells him things. He perhaps always had it.’

Which actually explains all the things that used to happen with him when we were little.

"I can’t tell you much about it yet so, let’s just say the world is bigger than you know, too big actually and that there are so many places here that they are given special code addresses."

"That so?"

Just how could be the ’big’ from his perspective?

"To give you a rough understanding of the actual world we live in, let’s say this flower petal is our planet, and the rest of our planet is the rest of the world."

"...what?"

I wanted to ask him if he was serious or not, but the look in his eyes was something I recognised.

"Have you seen how big it is as well?"

"No. I just know, like you do right now. Seeing the entire world or even knowing about a large part of it is not possible even for the gods.

The world is vast, and we are limited beings that receive permissions of the Worldline as our status increases."

"..."

He was talking about weird things again.

"Haaa..."

[Ding!]

[< The Rank of the Epic has been judged to be (Silver). It is the first time since the dawn of this world an epic of this level has been born! >]

[< As a result of the epic, the world will receive an authority upgrade. The Voice of the world will also receive additional releases. >]

[< The epic will affect the flow of the world, individual Fate will be affected due to the winds of change, and following the changes, the owners of the Epic will receive subsequent authorities. >]

[< As the owners of the Epic (Rank: Silver), they will be rewarded every time the epic earns an achievement, and those connecting to the epic in the following time, will also connect to the owners. >]

"I don’t understand a single thing that this is saying. And, what’s this new voice?"

"The voice of the Worldline system, the blue screen that we see outside the school system."

"Ah... it’s so nice having you around Morax."

"It’s my pleasure being around you, Cathy."

It still feels funny hearing him call me by that nickname.

We have known each other since we were kids and I still remember that formal meeting we had all those years ago.

’We were only kids and still, he was smarter, stronger, and more mature than me.’

People liked him, and they followed him willingly as if he was the only person on par with the emperor, the supreme authority of this nation.

He wasn’t always the crown prince, there were many candidates for that position when we were younger.

’But he overshadowed them all in all aspects.’

He won the position he had right now legitimately, and though I have always known he doesn’t like his father even a little, now that we have gotten closer and talked about our personal lives... I know he hates his father.

’I can understand why he is like that as well.’

His father, unlike my parents, isn’t someone that cares about his children.

He had many children, tens or perhaps hundreds of them if I know correctly and the position of the crown prince in their nation is practically just a title in name.

’There are princes among his siblings that are already grandparents.’

His father had been the ruler, the holder of the throne for hundreds of years already.

He had long gone beyond the realm of humans and had achieved a kind of power that made him a being beyond the limits of his race.

His father just lived and did what he was supposed to as the ruler of their nation, and he was pretty good at it.

’The people had no problems with him... it’s even better to say they couldn’t have any problems with him.’

He was the emperor.

"So, what now? Does this message mean anything to us?"

"Not for now, no. We aren’t related to this ’epic’ yet but we might in the future. We don’t know that.

Anyone can become a part of someone else’s epic, especially a high grade one like this one, however, don’t worry about it.

Becoming part of an epic is always a good thing. You would be surprised to know what lengths people go to for it."

"Really?"

"Un-hun. I would tell you if I can, but as of right now, I cannot. I apologise-"

"How many times do I have to tell you to stop apologising to me like this! We are friends now! Good friends even!

There’s no need to apologise for every little thing!"

He was a dumb person. A smart man when it comes to every other thing, but when it’s about me, he somehow loses all his dignity, smartness, and cold attitude.

I have to hold his face and shout those things at him unnecessarily like right now.

And this damn chest hinders me every time I’m doing that, haaa.

’Sometimes I wish these were smaller.’

Perhaps like El or even Nes. That much would have been better.

It’s a pain having these things... it makes me envy Lily sometimes who doesn’t have to deal with back pain or proximity problems.

"Right, you said that..."

They also attract unnecessary attention.

"I apo-"

"Shuuu. Leave it."

I had to put a finger on his lips to shut him up.

I knew he would apologise again, and again, and again perhaps.

He’s just like that when it’s only the two of us.

"Anyway, let’s leave this epic, and messages, and what not for now. Let’s talk about something else. Sometimes better."

"Like Miss Lily and Lord Leon?"

"Hmmm?"

Where did that come from all of a sudden?

"I think we should hide."

He stood up while holding my hand, and helped me stand up as well.

-Ooooooooong!

Then, after dragging me behind the tree we were sitting under, he cast a strange invisibility spell on us that, as I can tell, completely erased our presence.

"Why are we-."

"Shuuuu. Stay quiet if you want to see something fun."

I can hear footsteps in the distance now that he was saying that, but why do we have to hide?

And why was he smiling like that for?!
