Ling Yue POV

“Seems you’re awake now Ling Yue.”

I frowned when I saw the unnatural tall grass and the glowing tall tree going into the sky. But my eyes went to the figure in front of me with sky blue hair and her looks made her look like a beautiful 15 year old that could devastate even models. Last time I saw this person was on the same night my teacher used that time travel spell. Though I saw her in my sleep, she never did answer any of my questions.

“Now can you tell me who you are since you did say you’ll answer me next time if I do see you.”

“Ah right, this is a dream to you at the same time it isn’t. It’s more like your soul is being brought to a place similar to a dream. As for your questions I’ll answer them slowly. I’m the time fairy, Leira.”

Wait, I thought the time fairy was just a fabled myth they made up. No offense but she’s now glaring at me like I’m a idiot. Don’t give me that look, I can be vague about it but let’s just say I felt like how a hawk was glaring at a small prey.

“It’s offensive how my kind think I’m a myth because my place isn’t linked normally like the rest of my kind’s world. To be exact my place is connected to the world tree as a portal. It also acts as a pocket dimension since I’m the fairy of time. But it’s life isn’t connected to the world tree.”

“Why the hell, you’d pull my soul over here then. Isn’t it dangerous.”

“Ling Yue, right about that I don’t do the pulling nor can I do the choosing of whom comes and goes here. Sure it pulls people in here but only if the said person is unconscious or sleeping.”

“My guess is your the 1st fairy queen.”

“Close but you’re off there. I’m actually the 1st fairy. I’ve been alive as long as Luna’s been around. And that my dear little child has been along time since before the Realms (this and the other worlds combined is called this) were made. But that’s not what you wanted to ask.”

“Did my teacher have a contract with you.”

“Young one, no but she did try to channel through me for that spell. Well the side effects for you starts now. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. Try not to change the past too much when you go inside ‘her’ body. I can’t tell you whom she is but just know she’s related to you somehow. So if she dies to early it might effect your present life. Let’s just say be careful of the consequences. Oh and before I forget she is very powerful so. As we say in our worlds the higher your level the higher your lifespan. You’ll probably experience her life once in a while so do be extra cautious on how you’re going affect others in your timeline.” (Leira)

You’re only telling me that now. Also you purposely knew but why the heck don’t you tell me her name in case if it’s a trouble for me. Don’t give me that brilliant smile like it’s not your problem. This concerns the past which in our world with different timelines all crammed into one place means a major historical event can happen if the said person was important. Don’t just use the word ‘her’ and expect me to fill in I have tons of powerful ancestors from my mom’s side and a few from my father’s side.

Wait the topic didn’t make sense, I mean wasn’t I supposed to have a normal dream. Well I was sure I was having a nightmare before this but, the lady never explains things even if it means simplifying it. Wait her name spelled in angelic tongue is a anagram that means Radiant. While in other languages it means something else entirely. Who the heck named her anyway she’s one of the most eccentric of fairies I’ve ever seen. Considering those that have gone through to the land of souls. This one seems the most weird. I mean who introduces themselves only if they see you a 2nd time.

??? POV (Ling Yue inside body)

I was inside a 3 year old baby who was being carried by some lady who also had the same silver hair as my father. Actually she looked more like my ancestor who’s painting was on the wall in the hallway. Her perfectly tan skinned, her bright glowing silver hair that made you think she’s a divine. Actually this person was well known since she was ruling in this reign of era when the gods wars were happening. This person was no other than Erica Emerald Azual. She reigned after Luna’s reign of power. Which was odd in itself Luna never abdicated it was that she got bored of being in power.

But I was left stunned when a sudden grey box transparent message appeared before me. It was from Leira warning me this was similar to my body possession but the difference was the time era I was in and the host would remember what I did and said. Which made me roll my eyes, that’s pretty obvious but she didn’t tell me why I had such a side effect. Surprise hit me when the lady gave me the Azual family medallion with a black wolf on a cliff.

“Lydia, my daughter I have to leave you to Luna. Since the house and the netherworld is too dangerous for you. The clansmen killed your father and now targeting you. All because you were born with a figure of devil demon instead a wolf demon like me and your father. I’ve always been faithful to him so I know for a fact that you’re our daughter. I have to send you away because I can’t protect you as well as do my duty as this demon world’s protector. Thus I can only send you to the goddess Luna for protection.”

Well it’s no wonder that we in the current time had zero news of her remarrying after her husband’s death. Oh before I forget this was the most unpredictable era, Emerald’s era is what we called it. Yes she’s the 2nd most powerful compared to Luna. But no one questions it since she’s also strong enough to put anyone else off. Now remembering that the rules of their world is off from those text I peeked inside a modern city classroom. Yet it bugged me that the current appearance of this host of mine named Lydia had the appearance of a devil demon. Either her soul caused the anomaly or someone altered her when she was inside her mother’s womb.

But at least I know her mother cared enough to get her the clan’s medallion for protection. That said knowing Luna she probably hasn’t changed, that sadist when it comes to information. Yes the goddess information loving sadist, when asking for a certain location she’d make sure you’re kilometers off to see your reaction. If an emergency she’d tell you instantly the place. Or if you want to find a specific item she’d tell you at a price. Which as we all know is something later on in life. Then there’s the information that she can provide about certain people or persons. Those are mostly if she’s in the mood she’d tell you.

Yet here we are at her temple like palace at the stair case. The moon goddess Luna who loves information, nothing can escape her eyes if she wanted to. If it’s a minor event she wouldn’t care unless it was important or interesting to her she wouldn’t pay attention but even then she’d still know of the event. A sigh left my mouth as Emerald carried me in her arms up the steps. When I get back to my body I’m going to teach Aya a lesson on how precious a friend’s life is.

“Lydia remember your home is the netherworld, it’s because the clansmen left me no choice that I have to ask favor from an old friend.”

“Erica, leave her to me.” (Luna)

Seeing her come personally I couldn’t help but feel cold sweat on my back. She’s actually quite sharp too, how to act like a normal baby I have no idea. I mean I just came into this 3 year old’s body. Well this body had scales on half my arm like those demihuman dragon form but I don’t feel any horns on my head. Nor do I feel a third eye in the middle of my eyes so I’m unsure if this body is really a devil demon. That said Emerald seemed to have left me alone with Luna who’s frowning.

“That’s odd why are you, another soul occupying the body of such a young baby.”

“As if I’d know Luna, I came to this era due to some stupid side effects.” (Ling Yue)

She’s sharp as always but she frowned and didn’t ask anymore, she is the oldest goddess around. Especially since this is before Zeus their time era. Of course Luna’s seen a lot over the centuries too. Emerald was 5 generations before her father, yet she too disappeared during her reign. No one knew where she went after going out for a walk. But now that I was in her only daughter’s body all the dots connected. She had something to do with Emerald disappearing. Luna smiled at me, that’s never a good thing considering how eccentric she is.

“So you’re saying you have no clue how Ling you’ll be stuck in her body.”

Even if I knew you since I’m a child, why does your smile always frighten me. Almost as if I myself signed a contract with a devil with a goddess’s body. That’s how it looked to me anyway when she smiles. This is the information sadist who’s also known as moon goddess. Seeing her smiling happily made me feel goosebumps all over. Luna’s blue green hair is beautiful to the point that it might blind an average human. Her figure is better than what a goddess would’ve looked like, as if she was made from the clouds itself.

“I see you’re from the future then, what is your question little one.”

Crap she saw through me already, I didn’t even say a damn word of it. But the one thing that bugged me the most is the goddess of death Kana’s predecessor who mysteriously vanished without a trace or any record.

“Who is the current god or goddess of death.”

“How do you not even know a simple fact like that. It’s Remelia. The daughter of the god of life Hetris and the goddess of destruction Evenet.”

I couldn’t help but feel as if I was being dumped into ice cold sea. In my era these two were known as natural disaster legends. Pissing them off was never an option. It’s like asking a human to go out in the rain to be struck by a lightning or if they’re outside during a tornado. These two were the most famous during this era, yet their daughter Remelia not being heard of was impossible unless someone purposely erased all traces of her. Or the other option was she herself did so to hide herself after Kana inherited her role.

“By the way you’re going to be sorting out my library, next after that are lessons on how to control your powers and how to open a pathway to the netherworld. Well you might be able to do so since you’re another soul that’s occupying Lydia’s body. But it’s so she knows how to do it. Actually this isn’t my first case of soul possessing body lessons. So do remember to finish the library first.”

That is utter hell book piles stacked up. It can’t be called a library, I saw it once when I was only 20 years old. Luna, those piles of books like mountains and rivers once you open the door. That can’t be called a library, how can you call that a library. Organizing all those is utter hell even for a bookworm nerd. This isn’t funny, she just smiled like it’s none of her business. Why don’t you have your priestesses help out with that. It’s like if you mapped out a country that’s how much books were in a pile all put together.

“Why do you look so horrified, it can’t be that bad.”

This is the past but I’m betting 100% this person forgot how much books she has can challenge an archive. Archives are criminals who has a access amount of information on items, relics, weapons, techniques and people. Yet they have to protect those information from individuals whom seek it, they have no memory of their past but their partner is someone who remembers and was once close to them. But yes seeking out those information can also harm the said other person on the other end if used wrongly. That’s why they’re their to protect the information.

Well the criminals are mostly female, since when we put males on the job they were too lazy to guard the information itself. Even if they’re living in the living archive library. Actually when I remember it started out in this era with the damn insecurities caused by those male narcissist jerks it pisses me off. Yes we have a higher male population here in this mixed world of us. But because they’re bishonen they act cocky and prideful. Yet we have lesser female here but we’re all bishojo doesn’t mean we can let them bully us. Just because it was once a male system society at first doesn’t mean crap to us. Actually due to that we have less normal couples. I blame those similar like my father for being a set example. Ugh the scum should really die with most of the men here. I mean it’s a 5% chance they’re a gentlemen here. So often you don’t see the girls here happily getting with a guy. Well unless it’s a arranged marriage. Modern human cities and towns don’t count.

“What’s with the complex look.”

Wait don’t carry me by the collar of my kimono like I’m a kitten. Especially not towards your library which has like a mess like you’d see trash mountain dumps. Hey don’t open that light green door in front of me. She just dumped me in here. Wow, it’s dusty where I landed meaning this pile she didn’t use at all. Yes there’s shelves in here too but she never used them in my time (present time) era. So I guess I’ll have to sort all this now. Yet the thing that bugs me is how my host will remember what I seen and did. Does that count as her being a genius later if she remembers how to do things if I did it and she knows how to do it after 1 time thanks to me.

3rd person POV (present time)

Luna frowned but her hand was strange as she nearly choked on her drink in hand. Now she remembered where she saw Ling Yue’s soul in the past. An old friend long forgotten indeed, reminiscing she walked towards her library in haste. But when she opened the door she was stunned by the neatly organized shelves of books.

“Align these like this my dear sister and we’re done.” (???)

Her heart-ached now that she remembers why she didn’t organize the books herself after so many centuries. She finally remembered through a desperate message from her long dead sister. That her current reincarnation was in danger. Yet all the hints in history all pointed that her sister had somehow influenced their will to protect their home and timelines though she had long died. It angered her how she found out now, that her sister died due to a promise she kept for her (Luna) just to protect their home in the Realms.

“Forgotten goddess who erased herself due to her honesty and righteousness that can’t stand how her fake believers abused their power. So she granted 0 wishes and miracles until she had 0 followers ending her own faith which led to her death. Making millions and those important to you forgetting you and their memories. Sister if you didn’t send such a message would I too not remember back then after I asked the girl to clean up the library. For whom did that to you I will slowly repay 10,000 times to him and his pawns for making you have fake believers and misuse.” (Luna)

This was her land mine which couldn’t be crossed, when she found out during the time of the gods war era she was depressed to know the truth. That she had once had a relative who lived as long as her but was forced to her own death. Yet throughout the centuries she found gifts and messages from her sister whom deeply cared for her. Whom also warned her back then to not make any verbal promises to others. Since their promises are seriously to be kept or there’d be consequences. One which her sister payed dearly to protect though it was a childhood promise. Luna was pissed when she had to find out through a memory crystal about the memories she lost and couldn’t remember though she was also there. The person who forced her sister went too far, that was her only kin that was with her until now.

“At least I know important people to events in history are most important to protect thanks to sister’s message. Meaning Ling Yue, you too are one. I’m one and the same due my sister’s crazy choice to make me overpowered to protect me and the individuals inside these worlds. But can you who went to the past stand the me who found myself changed due to the destruction Phoenixes (the Phoenixes ancestors) that had access to the soul system. Thanks to them the me now can use their abilities as well as other individuals the longest their names are on the soul system list. I too can access their knowledge and memories just by clicking on the name. Can the you then stand against the depressed me of that era. Actually since then I remember every little details and changes in history as if I too have eidetic memories like the Phoenixes ancestors. But to me that time has already passed by. Ling Yue this is your first time but this is not my first time. I now exist in almost all alternate times due to yours and my sister’s choice. Though I have a feeling you might cause more damage to that era. Though you will change this too.”

Lydia POV (Ling Yue)

Right that didn’t feel right I’ve been here for 5 days organizing yet I heard a cry and felt a tremor. I don’t remember hearing about Luna getting depressed in this time era. (That’s due to the change given to her through a certain message.) But I cant help but feel something about this is off.

3rd person POV (past)

If the Luna of her time era were there she’d actually would say any and all changes since to the timeline was like a ripple that she’s remembered in great detail. As if she was there herself as her current self. But this was where it all started, when she began to doubt what others said and tried searching for answers herself. The true reason why she searched for any and all information clicked inside her mind. The person she was searching for was no longer here she couldn’t even remember until she received a soul scroll message. (Similar to the magic scroll they use for message but it’s for sending a distress message or warnings from one soul to another.)

“Why, it all makes sense now.” (Luna)

Her crazy laugh sounded throughout the temple as if she had gone insane. But instead seeing the truth in the scroll pissed her off more. One she couldn’t forgive, the one person she could never remember but was erased due to time itself for taking away those precious to her.

“I swear upon the skies and sun as my witness I will one day have my vengeance when I chance upon it for that fool whom changes original history as he wishes. As for my sister’s will, it in itself is unbelievable that a goddess could divide her will to millions, billions, or trillions of individuals inside different worlds just for a stupid child promise to me.”

A message which she had verified the memory crystal at the said place proved everything which angered her more. She hated the fact that someone had somehow unknowingly messed with her memories. This was one of her reason for her anger. The other was that she and her sibling was as old as time itself so it was her only kin since that time. Finding out this way caused her divine aura to blast out of the temple like a cold invisible wave.

Ling Yue was stunned inside the library as she felt the library shake. But what she heard was something she wasn’t supposed to so she was unsure what she should’ve said.

“How dare that coward change original historical events here just because he himself is afraid of death. The first price maybe my sister but it’ll be me who has the last laugh when you’re ripped to shreds for this.”

She didn’t know that Luna even had a relative nor did Luna mention it. But she knew something in history had certainly changed since her arrival here in Lydia’s body. Yet she couldn’t help but feel the air around her being cold as if she was being put into cold storage that was at -9000. This was abnormal even for Luna, what could’ve made her lose all reason like this. The fact was no one ever seen or heard of Luna ever being angered to such a point. Yes it was mostly to the point of irritation though. Her intuition told her what might’ve angered Luna was what she heard earlier but even that confused her.

This seemed like a secret that Luna didn’t like others knowing. Yet Ling Yue couldn’t help herself and opened the door to the library as she walked towards Luna’s throne room. She was afraid she’d be attack but knew it was better than staying there and being buried by books. When she’d arrived she saw Luna crying with silver golden blood dripping out her eyes. Which caused her to freeze up, she never saw this before but she heard of when a god or goddess grieves so much they’d actually cry blood out of their eyes. Seeing the oldest goddess like this caused her to be stunned. Never before had she seen the information loving goddess in such despair.

“Who’s there.” (Luna)

“It’s just me.” (Lydia) (Ling Yue will be referred as Lydia due to her being in her body currently)

“You saw nothing here, you hear me.”

Yet that tone of voice says it all, there’s anger and much bitterness in her voice. But the way she’s waving her hand above the transparent screen is abnormal, this was Ling Yue’s thoughts. Luna couldn’t help but laugh to herself after teleporting Lydia to the training hall. Though her hand was still on the soul system with the individuals names, she was stunned. When she touched a name by accident she had also copied a person’s said soul bound item too but hers was a more even broken overpowered version of it. Which left her stunned, whatever her sister did to pass the future destruction Phoenix race to the future stunned her more. Because the spell center revolves around her as the medium so her race was also changed. And the spell had had happened to be used one by the 2nd generation, 4th, 5th and 6th generation of destruction Phoenix so that was the reason she had such a broken ability like this.

Just clicking the name allows her to see their memories or use their traits and abilities as her own. This is more broken than if someone stole a skill or technique, which she could’ve just done by a click of a name. As for finding items that they’re destined to have she has no care of it. But the warning from her sister in distress angered her nonetheless, it was a fools errand for a person who was the personification of something to tamper with time. Especially when all things end at one point in time. He was dragging in throughout the alternate timelines as well. How can this not piss off her more knowing one of the first price was none other than her own sister. She had no name for the one whom caused her family member to die but she could see any slight energy surge when the timeline was altered by him. All she had to do now was wait patiently and help those main characters in historical events until he slips up one day.

Since that was her sister’s warning to her, she will wait for the day she has her vengeance on him even if she doesn’t know his name. She remembered one thing about him, long green hair in a pony tail with a noble air as walked. Luna only saw him once in the memory crystal convincing some no name corrupt official to become her sister’s follower. It was also the only time that he had appeared without having his other pawns being used. Yet a sigh escaped her when she realized that the person most important in this time era was here. All the puzzle fit together when she remembered Lydia’s circumstances were more than abnormal.

“How can ‘her’ daughter whom was kept well hidden by her shadow guard exposed so early to ‘her’ own clansmen as if they knew for 3 years now. It’s impossible unless he placed someone inside the netherworld. That would mean, damn I can’t trust anyone else other than Erica in this time era and Remelia.”

If Ling Yue heard her, she’d be asking who the hell would have their hand on historical events like that. That’s impossible considering how many events happened in one era, who would have enough time to do so. It’s also impossible for them to live as long as Luna suspected. But Luna was even more shocked by the hints her sister gave her. Though as vague as she can be but Luna now knew the events were no accident now, she frowned.

“No I must increase Lydia’s schedule. It’s only a matter of time before that soul goes back then returns when her original body is unconscious. It maybe a side effect due to time traveling spell or something else. But I can’t let my own best friend’s daughter be at risk to something outrageous as this even if it’s harsh on the girl’s life.”

Inside Lydia’s body even Ling Yue was stunned when she pulled up her status screen. Knowing full well there’s no level cap but she’s was still shocked nonetheless.

Name Lydia Azual Age 3 Race Wolf demon/ (soul devil demon race) locked Level 367

Yes a 3 year old with high level and stats was what shocked her whom had time traveled twice due to her teacher. But this tops it all with the unusual level. Yet what bugged her was the part that said soul is a devil demon race, it’s no wonder that the race would be altered to look like it. Though it tops what she’d recall, this was stranger than what she knew as common sense when it came to souls. Though it bugged her but her eyes bulged when she saw the skill soul contract. Well great, just great she thought this body well end up eating souls later on instead of blood. Which she’d rather prefer over the unreasonable hunger pains of those who craved blood worst than Sven vampires. Yes vampires in hunger can finish off at least one floor inside a cooperate company but a devil demon in hunger is equal to one bloody modern city.

Ling Yue POV

I woke up with a start in Olivia’s lap but I found it disturbing to see a paper on my lap. Olivia with her long wavy dark unpredictable hair was nodding off. Holding the paper I cringed when I realized who it was from, two person to exact. Luna asking to meet and Leira warning me that if I’m sleeping I’ll experience what happened to Lydia in the past but in chronological order. Just that it’d also effect this timeline if it’s a major event and that Luna’s the one who told her that any changes there she herself would experience it as if she was there. Meaning Luna knew the changes that happened in history itself if she’s the catalyst. But that didn’t bother neither of them it only said what’s meant to happen will happen. What caused me to cringe was the letters in big bold written by Luna.

“Come to my palace now. If you don’t come you, your first love will be marrying in 5 months time. And that’s if I had my way. ~ From your loving aunt Luna.”

You’re not even my aunt and that’s a threat isn’t it. How did she even find out when I haven’t mentioned it at all in current time. (All past events to her already happened so even if Ling Yue hadn’t experienced it, it’s already come to past for her so she already knows those events. She can also click on the person’s name for information through the soul system but she doesn’t abuse that when it comes to friends or love ones.) How the heck does this crazy Luna find out so fast. That’s faster than her usual information gathering almost as if she can read my habits just by where I’ve been or what I’m doing. Yet I’m uneasy by the way it’s the letters being written in blood red as if they’re painted by blood. Something tells me this won’t be as easy as things look. Luna is far from simple as she is back then. Don’t tell me it’s to dispose of me because I now know her secret. Don’t tell me she has a soul sight like a Phoenix too.
