[IT’S @[email protected] AGAIN. SORRY. We had to turn off the recording for a while because we wanted to watch this certain anime you see. Oooh it was awesome!!!
Hm? What is it Victoria? What, you wanted to use the mic for this episode?
Let’s see, Okay~…….
Hello~ your favorite cute goddess Victoria here!!! Oh for the people who forgot about me, I am Cecelia’s older sister and the keeper of knowledge and magic~
Well, so much for that. For this episode let’s go to the not-so-famous land of the gods ABELUM. I will show you what
happened there while our beloved Lyle was living in the mortal world.
Oh! Also stay tuned because I will also show you how my sister Cecelia behave there fufufu
Okay~ let’s begin! Hm, where will we start? Oh right, the meeting….]
We are inside a spacious and vast room. Although I said room; Actually room really isn't the right word for it.
The place made Grand Central Station or even the Tokyo dome look like a broom closet. Massive columns rose to a domed ceiling, which was gilded with moving constellations.
Ten thrones, built for beings the size of the Eiffel tower, were arranged in an inverted U.
What? Are you wondering why I know those buildings?
Of course I would know! I am the keeper of knowledge and magic you know! In the first place we can always look at what the humans in the mortal world are doing!
An enormous fire crackled in the central hearth pit. The thrones were occupied by each designated gods: the head throne on the right, and the one to its immediate left. I didn't have to tell you who the two gods were that were sitting there, right?
Obviously it’s the chief of all gods Barlux and the vice-chief Foreth.
From Foreth, was me; Victoria keeper of knowledge and magic, Cecelia my adorable little sister, who is the goddess that governs death and rebirth, Lux my little brother which is the god of war and Hecate goddess of fate.
From the other side, next to Barlux is Morphis god of chaos, Mephisto god of mischief and trickery, Justina goddess of justice and order, and Venus goddess of beauty and love.
Compared to a normal human height, we gods were obviously a giant. But even so, we are not that farfetched from humans, especially our behavior right now. We are bantering from each other, arguing like those foolish mortals always do. But then suddenly,
Barlux shouted. "SILENCE!"
The voice reverted in the place and all the gods stopped talking. The voice carried power and force keep enough to silence the surrounding gods.
I could barely look at him without feeling a tingle, as if my body were starting to burn.
Barlux, the Chief of the Gods, wore a dark blue pinstriped suit. He sat on a simple throne of solid platinum. He had a
well-trimmed beard, marbled gray and black like a storm cloud. His face was proud and handsome and grim, his eyes rainy gray.

"But Barlux, we must do something! Hecate’s vision told us, there’s an ominous presence that will cover the world of Montania" Cecelia finally said. "The fate of that world has becoming too hard to predict. If we don’t do something…"
“ENOUGH!” Again, Barlux’s voice reverted the place, cutting off what my poor little Cecelia wanted to say. “We will do nothing! Gods must not interfere with the mortal world! That is the ancient covenant!”
“What!” Cecelia stood up enraged. I watched the whole thing unfold and kept silent, even if I decided to speak, it won’t do much change. This old gods are well known for their stubborn attitude.
And that made them so annoying. =_=
Maybe that’s also what Lux was thinking because he still remained silent while stopping Cecelia who definitely didn't want to back down without a fight. Beside him was Hecate which; ever since the beginning of the meeting was sitting there quietly with her head down.
She was always this shy, I wonder how can I help her change that.
“Oh, let it come! A little evil won’t hurt and it will keep me from getting bored!” Morphis said while smiling.
“Shut up, Morphis! Cecelia is right, we must prevent this before it’s too late!” Justina argued.
“Ooooh! Chill, your too serious little Justina, loosen up a little will ya!” Mephisto added who up until now was keeping his silence and didn’t care about the current issue.
However, I must say this guy is really annoying whenever he opened that mouth of his. ' ^ '
“Shut up Mephisto, if you don’t have something good to say, then don’t open your mouth!” Cecelia said “We don’t have time for your nonsense."
“You too Cecelia, maybe you’re forgotten why this covenant was implemented!” Foreth grumbled “It’s because of your father interfering and made the land of…”
“ENOUGH!” This time it was me. “Let’s go, Cecelia, Lux” I just couldn't help but flared in anger because of that old Foreth.
I stood up, which were followed by Lux and Cecelia. I don’t like where this talk going to, and now that damn Foreth involved my father, I just can’t stomach this any longer.
Aargh If I have the chance, I will really turn that ugly Foreth into a frog.
When we are near the entrance,
“Where are you going, Victoria?” Barlux asked calmly “We are in the middle of the meeting”
You're calling this a meeting?! Are your eyes and ears just for show?
I wanted to retort but I know that I can't defeat him if we fought. I turned around and faced him.
“Even if we’re here, nothing will change!” I muttered “The decision of this farce you called meeting had already been set on stone since the beginning. What’s there to talk about?”
The mood has gotten sour and the atmosphere turned heavy. I turned around and walked out.
Barlux and Foreth looked at each other. They had a quick, intense discussion. Foreth made some kind of suggestion, but Barlux cut him off. Foreth tried to argue but Barlux held up his hand and said.

“This meeting is now over!”
Foreth rose and looked at me. His expression emits hate. Thunder shook the place. With a blinding flash of lightning,
Barlux, Foreth and the others were already gone. While the other gods; Hecate, Justina and Venus followed us.
As we walked back through the city of the gods, all sorts of conversations had already stopped. The muses that were always playing serene songs seemed had paused their concert, only our steps can be heard.
An uncomfortable silence.
-----------------------------------
Fifteen minutes later, we were still in a trance. Ever since we’ve got out of the council room no one spoke anything, causing an awkward mood to hung in the air. The solemn and heavy atmosphere still goes on but then.
“Geez, that old geezer, how can he resist my beautiful adorable face when I’m pleading him? Is he going senile, or maybe he has stone for eyeballs?” >O
Cecelia grumbled. She crushed the air right out of us. Because of her childish tantrum, we could not help but stopped walking and only stood there in the corridor while looking at her.
“What?”
She asked noticing our gaze. At that moment I noticed that the atmosphere soften.
“As if, Beautiful adorable face? *sigh* I can’t blame those old geezers for not noticing”
Lux said while shaking his head.
“Wha!? What did you say, big brother? Don’t you feel guilty inside your heart saying that in front of a helpless beautiful girl like me?!”
“Say those words after you can assure that you are already good enough to be compared to Venus. Try looking at her and compare yourself. Furthermore, don’t call yourself a beautiful girl!”
While saying that Lux steal a glance at Venus who is quietly watching them.
“Arara, Fufu Thank you Lux!”
Cecelia can only flinch with “Uu” when she saw Venus’ beauty. Of course, that’s natural Venus is the most beautiful woman or should I say, Goddess in the land of the Gods, no in the entire Universe. The title goddess of Beauty and
Love is not just for show.
“I-I don’t care, Humph! Reki told me I’m beautiful enough!”
The people or specifically, Gods behind her brightened their eyes hearing those words and become greatly excited, especially Venus who was always smiling. Right now her eyes hold some curiosity within.
“Arara, who might this Reki be? I would love to know this fellow!”
At those words, Cecelia turned around and faced Venus. She was expressionless, but she revealed a strong presence.
“Venus, Reki is mine. M-I-N-E”
Her voice was threatening.
“Fufufu” But Venus only laugh under that threatening atmosphere. As Cecelia told so, she turned around and continued walking. A sudden realization occurred to me
“Cecelia, is he the reason why you pursued on that issue a while ago”
She suddenly stopped and then faced me.
There was a different light in her eyes, expression that held some kind of worry at the same time regret.
“Yeah, I know that this is a very important plan but I don’t want him to be involved with something dangerous like this.”
“Isn’t that why you make him just an Observer?”
A faint smile played on my lips. I know how deeply she cared for this mortal, that’s why when she told us she was planning to make him only an observer and make him judge things himself we didn’t object.
“But isn’t there is a possibility that the old gods know what we did? Especially if they noticed this mortal was reincarnated then they would immediately suspect you, Big Sister Cecelia!”
The timid Hecate asked.
Cecelia gripped her dress and gently shook her head. “Maybe, but they won’t have a proof, because I sealed his internal memories, especially the time when we finally met! If they question me, I can just say that maybe he slipped from my attention and that’s why he had some of his memories left”
I was surprised no, not just me but all of us. My heart was pounding hard as I couldn't believe it.
I was already prepared to fight back if somehow, those geezers found out. But with this method, it can really just passed by as an accident. But still ‘sealing the internal memories’ meant that he won’t be able to remember his former family, friends, lovers and even Cecelia herself.
The gloomy atmosphere was back. No one said anything. I look at her back and noticed that it was trembling; I can’t help but feel sorry for my poor little sister.
Poor girl she was obviously trying to suppress her tears.
I walked silently towards her. When I arrived next to her, I clearly heard her sobbing. My heart sank like the titanic after hitting an iceberg.
How could I let my little sister carry the entire burden? She choose the world, she put him in a world filled with unknown danger instead of keeping him to herself. Once again, she choose to do this kind of painful thing.
Although it only sealed his memories of her, but still the thought of him forgetting her must be very painful.
I hug her tightly.
Because that is the only thing I could do right now.
“Are you okay?”
"I'm all right," she promised. She managed a weak smile and turned towards me “Although he forgot about me, it’s only just for now. Someday I will return his memories and besides I can always see him whenever I wanted to. I can just go to the fountain and watched him”
Even though she smiled, her eye doesn’t say so. But I held my breath and stop myself from saying anything. I smiled at her and squeezed her arm, then walked forward.
“Then, let’s go watch him together!” I proposed.
“Yes!" She immediately nods and ran towards the fountain of truth. Behind us; Lux, Hecate as well as Venus also followed us.

A cataclysm occurred in the world, which rolled back its development for many centuries.

A big war is brewing, humanity has already mastered all places suitable for life, and the rulers are trying to expand their possessions at the expense of others. Our hero, Marzio, lives in one of the free Italian towns. He is the bastard of a major feudal lord who made his name in the war. His mother, despite her righteous lifestyle, practices quackery.

Along the way, he contacts people who call themselves "diggers" - plunderers. So, he finds himself in the ruins of the old world, which was much more developed and finds more and more evidence of the terrible secret of the true cause of the fall of the world, which the church so zealously hides.
