Chapter 417 409: Reminisce 

Eugene needed to sleep a lot.

It was very shocking, but it seemed to have been an after effect of his keeping me alive. I didn't feel it first hand, but he seemed to have suffered a lot.

'If I want to keep training you for a long time, I need to rest.'

Was what he had suddenly said.

Just how much had he been suffering all this time? While I had his and the others' emotions and experiences floating in my mind somewhere, he must have faced it all on his own.

I couldn't imagine the confusion that must have taken him over when he lost his abs. I for one could quickly think of getting them back.

But for a guy who didn't know he had that option? Just the thought of losing his abs should have been greatly terrifying.

Abs aside, there were also the matters with the people living in that mansion. How would he be able to trust them or accept his new life? Well it might have taken longer, but he did end up doing so.

The strange happenings didn't end there. Dawn who came in like a truck and left a lot of influence on me in a very short time must have been like a thorn that could prick him at any moment.

Dantalian would have been impossible to face as smoothly as I had.

I became rather curious about things.

While I ran as he slept to bring my body up to mark even at Stage 0, I decided to ask him when he would wake up.

***

"Hm? You want to hear about my life?"

"Yup."

"Well, I don't exactly remember things." Eugene scratched his head as he floated next to me. "I mean, I do remember the events, but the thoughts and feelings from then, the nervousness and whatnot are all gone."

I had taken them from him.

But since he had ended up giving me positive memories post his regression, it couldn't be that bad.

"And, even if I did remember them, I think time here would have shaved it all off."

Even though I had no reason to, I still felt quite guilty when he brought things up like that.

Eugene lay on his back, still floating, and hummed a little.

"Well to begin with, there was no Lethe in my life."

"Hm?"

"I didn't even know her, I saw Dawn and one of the regressors, figured they were after my life, and spent the next few days with a mask on. I was assigned to Lethe, but never got to be her guard. Before I even knew it, she had disappeared from the world and no memory of her remained. Not like there were any in the first place."

Eugene turned my way with a wry smile, I could tell he did.

"When I saw you two together, it was quite strange. To think a person like that existed and I never even knew of her."

"That's on you," I said, smirking. "People just don't understand her magnificence."

"Is that so?" Eugene asked. "At least you do."

I nodded, a smile spilling on my face.

I wanted to see her.

"What else… well Dantalian had me under her claws for two years."

My eyes widened.

"For real?"

"It was tough, very much so. Trauma had just piled on and on for me. Lily died, Keith died, I ended up fighting with the Marquis and took his head."

What in the world?

"What spurred that?"

"I don't remember. I think it was a misunderstanding plotted by Fonias. Well, the Marquis didn't really fight back, he just asked me to let his kids live. When I figured out it was all a ploy I rampaged into the Fonias' place and ended up losing an arm there, but I couldn't kill him myself."

I looked down at myself. Compared to that, I had barely faced anything at all.

"Dantalian was able to use all of that against me, and I ended up caving."

"What about Titania…?"

"She never chose me. I met her for the first time when I invaded Alfheim."

"You did what again?"

"I was thinking of uniting all the worlds back then, just like now. But instead of dialogue, I decided to use my fists."

"What about Luka and Albert?"

"They faced just as much shit, we were pretty united in our mindset back then."

Eugene looked up at the empty sky, as if reminiscing on the events that had gone back. Shockingly enough, even though he spoke of a lot of evil things, his words were serene.

All that malice…

Was currently in me.

All of those emotions and hardships that built him up, he gave it all away to make my strength.

Just why was this guy going so far? How was he going so far?

I couldn't tell.

It felt as if a knot was pulling my heart down.

"I was pretty strong though!" He smiled and said. "As you can see, at your age I was already making fast work of Kaiser. I even fought all three Mythril Ranked Adventurers, Lushan, Sage of the Mountains, the three from Heaven and three from Hell that you took along all at once."

My eyes widened once more.

"What happened."

Eugene smirked.

"I won. Hahahah!" He laid back down and looked at the sky again. I tore them apart. Then Charlotte came, and I kicked her ass too. She sure is one annoying bitch, but she heard me out well, worked good as a pawn against all the other worlds."

So he was the one leading them all in his lifetime.

"She was very very pissed when she heard I killed the Marquis though and ended up plotting against me. So I killed her too."

"The game…" I asked.

He looked at me.

"Yeah, that is the bad end I brought about."

"Dantalian?"

"She only controlled me for two years. We were always together after that. It ended up with Luka and Albert having to fight me too."

I sighed.

"I used whatever trick I needed to to kill both the humans and the Outer Gods. Betrayed both sides who knows how many times. I think Alberto died too when Luka and Albert had to stop me."

All the ones who regressed saw things as dreams or emotions. It was natural that Alberto wasn't able to put all the points together and ended up with a skewed worldview for the game.

Actually that cuck probably made a lot of changes.

"Luka and Albert weren't much better. I think Albert still isn't. You've seen him."

I nodded.

Albert was definitely not the person he once was. Right now, the one who fit Eugene's recounting the most was him.

"Well, almost everyone died. Even Dantalian. We did kill the Outer God of Time and the Cosmic Dragon, and well, you know the rest."

"Hm…"

I shouldn't have brought it up.

Eugene patted my back.

"It was all so long ago I don't even care anymore!"

For him too.

I wanted to fight for him too now.

Eugene suddenly started rubbing my hair in a mess. "Don't think of the dead. I told you. Just do things how you want to."

"What's with that?"

"I mean it. If you don't want to fight and let this world go to shit, do that."

It was all a choice…

I had made my decision long ago though.

Smiling, I took in a deep breath and ran faster. If I had nothing to do, I always ran after all.

"Woah? Hey! When did you become faster than my flying!?"
