《The World seems Realistic but Why do I have a Leveling System? 》Chapter 147: A Bloodline & The Disastrous Future
Advertisement
Once Sara nodded her head, Sheila slowly narrating everything that happened to her from the moment she gained the system, experiencing many battles in the Trial Tower, meeting the goblin in the alleyways which also included the failed kidnapping case planned by Rodrick Jayson, etc. Of course, there are some other things that Sheila still keeps it as a secret for now until she saw with her own two eyes on what kind of reaction her mother would respond when knowing half of the information told by her.
As Sheila progressively deeper into the narrative, her mother seemed to be quietly listening to her without doing anything like interrupting her which she was somehow thankful yet, wonder if Sara actually knew already of everything, but by locking her eyes with her mother, Sheila was sure that this was the first time she heard about this. At a split second, she could see a shock appeared in her mother's eyes before disappearing, her mother was just too good at hiding her real emotion.
Sheila also includes the information about the Earth Dragon living in the mountain, it was the cause for Anthony recuperating in the hospital for the past few days, after all. Sheila almost stops talking when she feels like Sara was not listening to her when her mother suddenly gestures for her to continue which she complied with, the act proven to her that the latter was actually listening to her, even though it might seem otherwise.
This was further proven to her that Sara might know something regarding her situation even though it seemed like the former had just made known about it. Perhaps, Sara was also an Esper? One might agree with her since the moment her mother took the mantle for her company, she along with the company, rise to the top within a few months which brought shock to everyone witnessed. No matter how capable and genius one could be, there's no way they could do the same as what she had done. Rather than fantasy-like power like spewing fire out of one's mouth, it could be the management type of power but Sheila was not so sure about it.
When Sheila finished narrating everything, she looked up to see her mother's reaction. But what she saw was Sara staring blankly in the air as if reminiscent of the past before jolting back to reality with a sigh.

"So...it was true."
Sara muttered softly to herself but as a sensitive person who had her sixth sense heightened, Sheila could easily pick it up without a problem. Seeing the strange look on the latter's face, Sara chuckle.
"Actually, my mother, your grandmother had told me one thing that I still remember to this day. It was the most important thing that shouldn't be made known to others, not even the family unless 'that day' came. I had thought it was just her being senile at old age but didn't think that everything she had said was real."
Said Sara with a sad expression on her face as she remembers a wrinkle old woman laying on the bed with her seated on the side, it was the day before her mother closes her eyes for eternity. Her mother, Sheila's grandmother was bedridden by an unknown illness. She had tried looking for a cure for the illness yet, every doctor that was said to be geniuses among genius was unable to find the cause of the illness even after she had gone out of her way to find them, one by one.
Even though she was going to die, her mother didn't seem sad, far from it, she looked content instead. It was as if she didn't mind the fact that she was going to die while Sara, her daughter was worried and sad about it. On the day she got bedridden till the last day, her mother slowly narrated to her of a tale in the distant past, but Sara thought it was just another fictitious story yet she listens to it as if that was the last will from her mother.
It all began from a fail ritual due to the interruption from a third party. The girl traversed the unknown world filled with curiosity and was met with all kinds of peril situation yet, with her capabilities, there was nothing that could bring risk to her life, not even the volcano eruption so long as she was prepared for it. From her long journey, she met all sorts of things and even the resident of the unknown world. The girl was surprised to see a person no different than the people in her world yet they are unmistakable the resident of this different world. They were called Humans.
Although the girl was caught with all kinds of trouble due to her slowly aging to the point she was brand as an evil witch, the humans of this world were unable to do anything to her with their measly cold weapons. When the girl had gone into hiding, at least until everyone started forgetting about her, she ran into trouble that still exists to this day. Due to the instability in the space around the Earth, a spatial crack would appear somewhere around the world at random time and places, either with nothing or brought destruction along with it.

From that where a new chapter of her long life journey begins. The fights, the battles that almost cost her life, the fated encounter, everything that one would expect from a fictitious story happened all at once from that day onward.
After the long torturous battles, the girl which has now become a fully adult woman, in terms of appearance, suffered from a hidden injury that couldn't possibly heal even with her power decided to withdraw from the bigger stage. The world had thought she had vanished from the face of the Earth for some unknown reason, but she was still living somewhere in the deep mountain, bearing a child with her fated partner. When the child was born, that was the day the woman took her last breath peacefully with a smile on her face with the crying child in the arms of her partner. That should have been the end of the story, yet no one knows or expected for it to be just another beginning of a tale that surely will become widespread to the whole world of a girl that becomes the successor to the woman's power.
"And from all that, I'm supposed to be that girl? The successor?"
Sheila was gobsmacked from the tale spoken by her mother. A helpless smile appeared on Sara's face before saying.
"Yes, and no. Like I have said, I also didn't believe everything about this. It was just hard to take in, knowing that my daughter will someday have to take the responsibility of billions of people's lives in her shoulders, even though she was merely a single person among many. But..."
"But what?"
"Before her eternal sleep, your grandmother told me the reason for her illness has something to do with the power she gained from our ancestor's bloodline. Yes, an actual supernatural power that would make her superhuman, or a superheroine in this case. The power she gained was Clairvoyance, she was able to see into the future but at the cost of her lifespan. The longer she looked into the future, the more her lifespan was taken away from her. I didn't know about that, not until the last day when she truthfully informs me about it."
Silence spread to the whole room as Sheila didn't dare to speak while her mother seemed to be saddened by the thought. Even she was influenced by the atmosphere and couldn't help but remember the kind and warm grandmother of her, back when she was still a snobbish child. She didn't remember that many memories about her grandmother, most likely since she was still young and by the time she could make sense of her surroundings, her grandmother had already left the mortal world.
While her mother was speaking about the tale, Sheila couldn't help but think, was the girl and the red-haired woman that I saw in the memory shown by the system, the same person? Somehow that was what my feeling tell me but I'm not so sure just yet. Sheila was amazed to know that her deceased grandmother could actually see the future. Although the cost is quite an ass, it must be because the ability was just too powerful.
"Your grandmother had told me when she was a young teen filled with curiosity, decided to look into the future. She simply wanted to see what her granddaughter would look like but, what she didn't expect was to see a single woman at the age of thirty, with her surroundings like that of a world that's have been wreck havoc by something unimaginable. It was only for a short moment but she could tell that the woman suffered tremendously just from a single look. That single-use of her power actually costs 20 years' worth of lifespans."
Sara took a couple of deep breaths before continuing.
"And that woman was you, my daughter. It was what you will become twelve years in the future. I was hoping that everything my mother said would be nothing but just word. Now that you tell me everything about that, I'm not so sure anymore."
