Chapter 248: My Past

–AN: Another chapter will be coming out later today. I had some things going on this morning which took up more time than expected. I apologize for the late release of the second chapter.–

"Childhood friends? I am sorry to tell you, Faith, but that excuse will not work for me. I need a clear explanation." King Gravos's words made me sigh because I knew that he saw through my words. Although it made me seem like I was lying, I had to at least try. I mean, I did not want to go explaining things because it does sound crazy, but there was not much I could say or do about it at this point. And now, even after I told myself that I wouldn't go explaining things, I had no choice but to explain.

"Can we change rooms? It will take a long time to explain, I think." I answered as I looked King Gravos in the eye. He nodded and stood up. "Follow me."

I nodded back and took the bewildered Jen by the hand, and pulled her along with me. When we entered the room, King Gravos and the Dean both sat down on a blue velvet couch while Jen and I sat across from them on a similar couch. In between, us was a small wooden coffee table. There was no tea or snacks, just the four of us in this room. "Now, please explain yourself. If I did not know your full history, Faith, and hers, I would have bought the whole childhood friend thing. But sadly, I knew you both too well. No friends at all during your childhood!"

Guh! He had to hit a sore point on my life. Yes, I had no friends, so what!? "Well, when I say Jen is my childhood friend, I mean it. Just not in this life…."

"What do you mean not in this life?" The Dean asked.

"Let me put it in a different perspective. And this might seem far fetched, but we both have memories of our past life. And we can remember them vividly. We lived on a planet called Earth. It was a place where technology ran rampant, and there were no monsters or anything like magic. There I was only sixteen when I died. But I was just a normal girl. I woke up, went to school, hung out with Jen, and went home and got lost in reading novels and books.

"I was nothing special. My one and only friend in that world was Jen, and she was as close to me as any sister. In fact, the reason I died was saving her, and even now, I do not regret it. Although it  had a great impact on her life." I paused when Jen gripped my hand. I could feel her trembling. I guess just thinking about it caused her great pain. I patted her hand and continued.

"Jen, from that point on, was no longer the same. She had become closer to how I was than her original self. And she lived her life like that until she died at the age of twenty five. How she died, I do not know, nor does she. But she woke up in this world in someone else's body. The body of a two year old orphan." I paused to see the complex looks on the faces of the king and the dean.</o>

"I know this all might seem fantasy like to you all, but the stories people write that can be found in the library are not too far off. Even my world had stories as such, but those stories talked about a world of magic instead. I know this very well as I have read many of those books myself. How you take it from here is another story. But I did not lie.

"Jen is one hundred percent, my childhood friend, just from another life, time, and place." I could only watch as the two men in front of me wrinkled their brows. I have no ideas how things will turn out from here, but hopefully, they will just take things at face value.

"I see…." The king said as he leaned forward. "How many know of this?"

"As of now, the four of us. But I would probably need to explain it to Adel." I answered. I could already see Adel's reaction, and I did not wish to hide things from her as she was one of my best friends. I did not want to keep her in the dark forever.

"Don't tell anyone else, not even Adel." King Gravos's tone was stern, which startled me a little. This was the first time I had ever seen him like this.

"I am confused. Why can I not even tell Adel?" I did not understand why I would need to keep something like this from Adel. It made no sense.

"Because you two are not the first. And there seems to be more and more people crossing over into this world from another." King Gravos replied. "People with powers greater than our own. Ever since the appearance of the dungeons, we have been hearing reports of people who were on their deathbeds, have suddenly regained consciousness, and are feeling perfectly fine but acting strangely. Not in this kingdom but in others. These are reports from our spies. Some are even said to wield amazing powers and are heavily cared for by their kingdoms. We seem to be entering a new age, and that new age might be something we can not handle easily."

While I was surprised by the sudden information of a lot of people suddenly appearing in this world from another, I couldn't help but worry. It made me wonder if the dungeons had something to do with this as well or if that man had something to do with all of this. "I understand now…." I now understood why he wanted me to keep it a secret. After all, if word got out, we might be targeted by other kingdoms' spies and assassins.

"So please, do not let anyone know of this truth. It will never leave these walls. And don't worry, this room is special compared to the others as it has a twenty layer sound barrier on it." King Gravos was someone who thought ahead it seemed.

"We won't. I will just make something up." I replied. I do not know what I will say but I will try to come up with some kind of excuse to pacify Adel. Because I know she will freak out when she sees how Jen and I interact.
