After a period of drowning the night in the deep darkness, a cluster of dark clouds that spreded through the sky slolwy moved away with a wind, giving the opportunity for the moon hidden behind them to once again peek through to brighten the world below.

Through the window of his dark room melian gaze at this brightened world. Outside are a few houses he could see, All of which, according to his memory, should belong in history. But seeing them right in front of his eyes made him aware he was indeed in his past.

"This is unbelievable"

Deus are the wonders of the universe. They comes in different shapes, with each having an different ability of its own. They're the primary source of power of the ones that walk the path of a wizard.

Among them, some Deus abilities are still unknown, one just like overseeing owl, which is, according to rumours, a Deus with some sort of time ability.

Phew!

With a sigh, Melian sat back on the bed. He had lot to think about. In his previous life, when, he was a pirate, he had a dream to reach the pinnacle of the desu wizard. But after that unknown cultivators assault, his dream got crushed. but at the same time with the cultivators will absorb into his mind that dream of his sort of become an obsession.

He was aware of his own condition, and he didn't dislike it. Who doesn't want to reach the top and have a mindset for it. But unfortunately he didn't had the opportunity to continue his chase, neither he had time.

However, now he has everything. The knowledge of the future he has in his head is his biggest opportunity. And he had enough time to prepare for them.

"First of all, I need to join back with nexus", He murmured while Getting up and looking out through the window at world that drown back in undeserved darkness by a cluster of dark clouds. On earth, ordinary people don't know about deus or any other magical stuff, instead the place where Deus and their miracles thrill is called nexus. it's a Realm hidden to the eye of the ordinary. only some special people coud enterd it by some special means.

Thinking about those stuff melian sneered. The reason a Realm like nexus exists because some high level deus users refused to let others get hold of the powers of deus and they wanted to make deus something special only for them, like a privillage for noble people. Because earth originally had low Deus energy; they sucked all that energy into the nexus, creating a paradise that filled with Deus energy.

In his previous life, melian suffered more than enough from those hypocritical people. It even became one of his main reason for turning into an pirate. But after living this long and carefully thinking about it, he could understand what those people think. Nobody wanted to be second to others, especially when it came to magic and stuff. And for the high-level Deus users resource are hard to find and has no mean to spare for anyone else.

"But soon..." Melian looked at the sky while stretching his hand as if to grab the moon that reappeared, which to him, looked tiny compared to his hand, "time will come for this Melian to sink them all in the deep"

Hik!

Suddenly, from Behind him, which Melian had not any focus or attention on, a sound came, like someone holding his or her laughter.

Melian turned instantly, and as he looked there, he saw a woman standing on his doorstep, dressed in a kirtle and apron worn above. Coif on her head. She looks at him with a face full of smile.

"Hello?" said Melian coldly while ransacking his brain to remember who this was.

"Hello," said back the woman. Like returning a greeting.

"How long have you been here, actually?" Melian got his calmness back as he began to remember who she was. This giant building and the place he is currently in is a orphanage; he grew up here for as long as he can remember, and he has no memory of his real parents. This girl is also one of the orphanages; other than her, there should be several other kids, but Melian had difficulty remembering them. Maybe when he saw them, he would remember them, just like what happened with her.

"Not for long actually, I definitely didn't heard anything about 'sinking somone in deep'" said the woman widening her smile.

"ah..." Hearing that, Melian needed to sit down, and so he did, on the bed.

If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

"Do you... wanna talk about it?" the lady asked in a sweet voice, still standing on the doorstep, but one of her feet moved slightly forward; seems its movement depended on Melians answer.

"No.. Not really" said Melian

"Oh, okay" the lady took a step back,

"Mother said dinners ready so.. "

"Oh, alrighy. I'm hungry too, let's go" Melian got up from his bed and walked out of his room. He felt a bit strange in this young body. To him, a moment before, he was in the body of a Deus practitioner, and now he's in a young body that had no extraordinary ability and training.

With the help of the lamp on the woman's hand, the two walked in the dark corridor. While they walk they didn't mention anything that happen before. The two silently agreed to forget about that embarrassing moment.

In the night, the corridor is somewhat cold, and Melian began to blame himself why he didn't wearing any warm clothes. he had thought about asking the woman for some extra clothes because he saw none in his room, but he decided to hold that thought as he had more troubling questions in his mind.

When he and the woman talked, which are just some regular stuff that had no particular importance, melian noticed that she seems to be more than friendly to him. After thinking hardly about it he didn't remember having an special relationship with her. So he becomes a bit careful; who knows if this is all a illusion or trick of someone.

After walking more than ten minutes through the corridor and a staircase to the lower floor, the two began to hear the voices of others.

Most are kids while some are adults; hearing them, Melians memory began to wave.

The two came to a spacious room where a long dining table was placed, and a few candles hung on the walls and the table, brightening the whole room. Around the table are a group of people. Mostly kids while two adults, a man and a woman, that sit at the two ends of the table.

A cup of soup filled to the brim is placed in from of every one of them, but none seems to be eating or drinking it. The table that filled with joyful voices suddenly became quiet when someone saw the woman and Melian waking in.

"Finally, I can eat", said a kid with curly hair, looking at Melian. All others look at him for a moment, and facing them, melian pulled a chair and sits down quietly. A cup full of soup that blowed a hot steam right onto his face soon offered to him by the mature woman.

Closer to him, the lady that came along with him sat down, and when she did, an air swirled around her blown away toward Melian; sniffing the scent, he felt some sort of pleasure.

"so that's what it is" The experienced and wise-minded fellow then realised the answer to the question that bothered him. As it turns out, the young Melian is at his right age and full of hormones. It had come to the point that if the right conditions had been met, even a tree hole might seem doable.

"Weird.... and also embarrassing", thought Melian as he shook off his head, erasing those thoughts.

"All right since all of us here, then wait no more gentlemen," said the big man at the other end of the desk with a genital voice as he lifted his cup of soup, dressed in a white shirt that almost turned brown he had a messy beard that sinks right onto the soup even before his mouth reach it.

His name is Kwosky, the current person in charge of this orphanage. And the woman that sits other end of the desk is his dear partner, whoes name is Bartha.

"is something wrong melian? " the young girl beside him asked at the moment, noticing he hadn't started to drink the soup like others.

"No.. Its Nothing" melian picked up a spoon and began to Slurp on the soup, while drinking he look at the others on the table. it felt like a feast from the past, Seeing all of them. The memory long forgotten in his mind began to reawaken.

"Hailey!" suddenly those words came out from him and the woman beside him looked at him again.

"Yas" she asked. Though she looked unsurprised, melian who suddenly remembered her name is feeling rather nostalgic.

"It's nothing again", he said while focusing on drinking the soup. There's not so much of a fancy thing in his soup, few potatoes and some few vegetables all there is to it, and it tasted rather salty. But nobody complained about it.

The dinner table soon filled into countless voices by others, And Melian silently listened while drinking. Savouring the moment.

Soon he finished, and so did the others, after making a good night farewell to others melian walk back along, though Hailey tried to come along with him she got dragged away by her brother.

Melian looked keenly at this brother of Hailey, he looked nothing out of ordinary and perfectly fitting for a Low class country bumpings image. But melian knew the secret hide Behind him that even Hailey's brother Deroth himslef doesn't even know yet.

While coming back with some extra comfy and warm cloth he borrowed from bartha melian noticed that in the area he was in there no one else, it was like he was in a lonely area. Though he was puzzled by this as someone who liked the quietness he didn't question it much.

Getting back into his room melian first settled the bed, laying warm blankets on it he than sat back on his bed and closed his eyes, as the lamp that brightend the room placed beside him on a table he began to think while sorting out his memory.

He lived a long life, at least two hundred fifty years. And in that long lifespan there's lot of events that hard to keep track on, he needed to remember tham and planned ahead for his future.

After about half an hour he opened his eyes, they were focused as if knew what's gonna happen next and they had the coldness as if looking down on everything from above.

Blowing away the fire on the lamp melian soon went to sleep, as he had planned prepare for his next day.

- - - -

However, even when the midnight passed, melian is still very well awake on the bed, his eys opened, gazing at the roof unfocusedly.

Reson is, an alluring voice of a female on pleasure and a male exclaiming tiredly keep echoed through the wall of his room. Hearing them Melian recognise those voices belong to Kwosky and Bartha.

"So that's explain why there no body in this area... And also why only I'm staying in this area"
