Last Wish System Chapter 459
Advertisement
Although it had been just an instant in the real world, in Terug's perception hadn't been just an instant.
"Where I am?"
Terug was immediately disoriented as he found himself in a different place.
"This is the Timeless Border. Well, more exactly a subspace of the Timeless Border. Even for me, it isn't that easy to pull someone to the real Timeless Border."
Terug turned his head towards the voice he heard because he was sure that it was Yale's voice.
Just as he expected, Yale was also there with him.
"Timeless Border? I have been there once, but I don't remember too much about it."
Yale wasn't shocked by those words because one of the reasons for him being able to pull Terug to that subspace of the Timeless Border was that Terug had been in the Timeless Border before.
"I think that you should have already guessed it in this situation. I am Timeless Sovereign."
That subspace was only useful to speak with others without wasting time in the real world, so that was the first time that Yale used it.
The good part about it was that it didn't have any side effect, and the bad one that unless the other party was at least a World God the chances of succeeding were low. Of course, the other party shouldn't resist, or it would fail.
Yale wasn't able to fully understand the reasons, but it seemed to be for a change in the minds of those who had become World Gods that allowed them to enter under the invitation of a Timeless Sovereign.
Terug didn't remember anything about Timeless Sovereigns from his time on the Timeless Border, but he gathered information about it and at least knew that a Timeless Sovereign was an unmatchable existence in the Timeless Border.
"Then, do you say that it is because of this that you can send incarnations to the Life and Death Trials?"
Terug was already inclined to believe Yale at that moment. After all, as far as he knew only the creator of their universe was a Timeless Sovereign, so just that fact that Yale reached the same level was enough to give credibility to his words.
After all, the information about the Mysterious Expert was unknown even for Terug, but even if he knew about it, his thoughts wouldn't change.
"Indeed. The Timeless Border also affect those lower universes that one visit in the Life and Death Trials. In my first visit here, I even met the shadow of someone from my Life and Death Trials."

In fact, Yale wasn't the only one who met people of lower universes from the Life and Death Trials in the Timeless Border, but the memories of the Timeless Border were usually blurry, so no one managed to remember about it.
"Alright, I believe you."
Although Yale hadn't shown any proof of the existence of those lower universes from the Life and Death Trials, Terug knew that with Yale's status there was no reason to lie about a trivial matter.
"Let's return."
Yale had already decided to bring Terug with him in his journey because someone experienced and with vast knowledge like Terug would be a great aid in their trip and Terug himself seemed to be trying to get closer to them.
Moreover, Yale felt that Terug didn't have a bad personality. He was someone who cared about benefits but wasn't blinded by them and valued friendship.
Since Yale believed that Terug longed to work for someone with great power, he decided to show his status in the case that Terug still had any doubts about following him.
After Yale spoke, both of them disappeared from the subspace, but after Terug opened his eyes, he noticed that he hadn't returned to the real world yet.
"Yale, what happened?"
Terug thought that something went wrong while returned, so he looked towards Yale, but the person in front of him despite looking like Yale gave a different aura and even the clothes were different.
"You aren't Yale... Who are you?"
Terug couldn't see anyone else, so he was sure that the person who prevented him from returning to the real world was the one in front of him.
"Who am I? You can say that I am Yale, but not the Yale you know. I am from a different time, a time that doesn't exist anymore. I traveled through the time to your era to change my past, your future. You can call me Alter Yale."
Terug heard rumors of how a Timeless Sovereign could alter the time, but he never expected that it was possible to travel through time.
"Then, Alter Yale, do you need something from me?"
Although the person in front of him gave a different aura compared with the Yale he knew, it was still the same person, so Terug didn't think that Alter Yale wanted to harm him.
"Indeed, I need something from you."

Alter Yale's face turned serious.
"I have two requests for you. The success of them can influence greatly on the future of this universe or be useless, but he can't risk betting that it wasn't needed."
When Terug heard that it was something affecting the future of the universe, he noticed that the matter was far more serious than what he thought.
"How can I help you? Is there something that you can't do that I can?"
Terug was already unable to win against the normal Yale, let alone a future version of him.
"It isn't that I can't, but that I already have a lot of things to do of equal or higher importance. Although we hadn't met in the same way in my past, you are still my friend, so I want to entrust this to you."
Alter Yale met Terug after losing everyone, and Terug had helped him a lot.
They turned friends and helped Alter Yale to endure his previous loss.
In fact, if Terug hadn't held his enemies back sacrificing his own life, Alter Yale would have died. Terug's chances of surviving that battle were zero from the start, and he knew it, but Terug didn't mind at all and decided to sacrifice himself after leaving some last words to Alter Yale.
"You are stronger than me, but this is a trap, you can't battle against them, or you will die. I believe that this universe needs you to be saved. Giving up my life to save you is saving the universe. This won't be a worthless death."
Alter Yale felt that he failed to fulfill his promise when he needed to flee to a higher universe to save himself, but at least he managed to destroy the universe of their enemies in revenge.
Thus, Alter Yale had great trust in Terug and decided to contact Terug after he noticed that Yale pulled Terug to a subspace of the Timeless Border.
Of course, the Terug of that moment didn't have any knowledge of what he did in Alter Yale's past.
"Speak. I will try my utmost to accomplish it."
Terug felt touched when even the Yale form a distant future still considered him as a friend and trusted him enough to give him tasks with important relevance to the universe.
"First of all. You will be unable to transmit this information to others no matter the way. Even Soul-search won't be able to extract this information from you. We can't let any information fall in the hands of the traitors."
Terug nodded as he understood the importance of information very well. Although he worked as an information broker, he knew what could be told and what not.
"There is no way to identify and kill those traitors?"
Alter Yale smiled when he heard that question.
"I am already doing it. Haven't you heard about the massive death of Origin Gods or the continuous destruction of planets? I was the one who did it because those Origin Gods were all traitors and those planets were filled with people that would end up provoking our destruction from inside."
Terug would have never expected that the infamous culprit of those actions was the future version of his friend, but in his opinion, if they were traitors, they deserved to die.
"All the people in those planets were a danger?"
Terug gathered the courage to ask that question.
"No. A great part but not all. However, destroying the planets hides my intention and doesn't alert our enemies. Although it may sound cruel, I sacrificed the rest for the sake of this universe."
Terug already guessed something like that, and he wasn't a pure person that never killed others, so he wouldn't try to argue about morals with Alter Yale.
He knew that sometimes there was a need for some evil for a greater purpose.
"Let's return to the topic. The first thing I want you to do is spread certain information through your channels. I am already spreading it, but more sources would increase it is value."
Terug was a bit shocked then after saying that, Alter Yale told what should be spread, but he just nodded.
"The second is the most important one. Maybe there would never be a chance to accomplish it because the situation won't happen, but in case it happens, you must accomplish it at any price. Failure would probably end with the destruction of this universe."

A Fool's Journey, or the Vagrancies of a Man in Exotic Lands
What does a sad bastard do when fate, literally, decides to throw him into a fantasy world? Solon just wanted to lead a normal life; work, share some pizza with friends, work, play some videogames or read something, work, maybe sleep?, work... Pretty much the usual, rinse and repeat. It was far from perfect, but life was nicely boring and comfy enough. Truth be told, he had hoped it would go on forever, or until he got married, or until the apocalypse finally decided to bring an end to everything. As far as he could tell, though, the former was about as likely as the latter; not very. And perhaps even somewhat related, if it ever came to it. Unfortunately, he saw himself involved in some sort of cosmic fart that screwed him over, brutally severing his life-plan. Or, maybe, would it be more suitable to say that Fate had other plans? Sure, he's yet to find out exactly what those plans might be, but, at the very least, they do seem to involve him being shoved into another world, fighting off a couple of horrendous creepers, and -almost- an accidental liaison with a baboon. Needless to say, the job doesn't come with dental care, and death seems more likely than retirement... Yep, when he got yoinked out of Earth, there were no princesses waiting for him, no sexy goddesses, and no severe Gandalf-wannabes! Heck, not even a bunch of demonic cultists! All he got for the trouble was a bunch of snarky windows and the honest desire to punch whatever bastard happens to be behind the smug System. Well, that, and a few forced trips to the so-called Tower of Ascension. Not exactly what he would have expected but, on the plus side, he does get to do some magic. Though, not quite the wand-waving kind. Whatever. One thing’s patently clear, though, he’s certainly not the chosen one, nor the summoned hero, nor the Savior. If anything, he himself might be in need of some saving... Just what kind of fool does the System take him for? Please do consider the tags. Also, 'Strong Lead' here means weak to strong, over a decent amount of time, not op from the very beginning. Things to expect: decent grammar, cheeky goats. Things not to expect: Harems, a decent sense of fashion.

Long gone are the days when every hero could do whatever they wanted - now, we are civilised. We have government. Law. And proper forms. Lots of proper forms. (Final episode 25/07/2022. Also - beta readers far into the book rate the 'gore' degree as below 2/10, so the warning is a bit much) Mary Susan Oceanrunner is a poor girl from the orphanage, who like many others before, has to fulfil her destiny. The prophecy had been told, and she is the only one who can make things right. Erm... probably. Anyway, she can't just go and kill monsters like in the middle ages. First, she must apply for the appropriate permissions, fill the forms, learn about the proper loot taxations... Hey, no one said adventuring would be easy, right? Disclaimers: No claim made by any character by the book should be treated as the author's or anyone else's opinion on any subject. Most likely, it was just the funniest thing the Author could think of at the time of writing. This book contains many references to other works. It will probably be best enjoyed by individuals familiar with at least some of the following: 1) Computer games2) Fantasy in general3) Science fiction4) Tabletop RPGs5) Conspiracy theories6) Corporation work life7) Long forgotten prophecies uttered millennia ago in almost as forgotten languages under a starless night three dusks before the great convergence8) Filling any government-mandated form9) School10) EnglishMy ultimate goal is to make as many people experience something akin to joy while reading (think ~a bit louder exhale through the nose). It doesn't mean every scene will be funny or joyful because that's not how this stuff works. I can neither confirm nor deny having any other hidden agenda outside of that.
