Chapter 70 - Talking about the Past

Chapter 70 - Talking about the Past

"My request is this: can you tell me about your past?" Miyu presents her request, Mikey had been expecting anything but this.

"I am sorry, but I don't think I can." Mikey answers. "I know that no one likes to talk about their past here, however, I'll reward you if you tell me. I will do anything you want." Miyu begs Mikey.

"Why would you say that?" Mikey asks, it doesn't make any sense to him. "There's no way that knowing my past is something that important to you."

"It is, let me explain. Everyone received two attributes right? One attribute that was supposed to present our actions in this world, and one that presented what we did in the past, before we ended up here." Miyu starts talking.

"Yeah, that's right, this applies to my attributes aswell, and I don't think that there are exceptions."

"I thought so... well, my case is an exception. My attribute of the past, had absolutely nothing to do with my past." Miyu says.

"What?"

"Your fighting attribute is the result of you fighting a lot back on Earth, right? My attribute, it doesn't have to do with anything that I did in the past." Miyu explains.

"Alright, I admit, that's definitely not anything normal. But what does that have to do with you needing to know my past?" Mikey asks her.

"Because that way I can maybe figure out what are the attributes exactly based on. This could help me realize, why was I given my attribute." Miyu answers eagerly.

"Sure, I'll tell you. But first I want to ask, what's your attribute of the past called?" Mikey asks.

"Hm? You already know don't you, it's my Assasin attribute." Miyu responds.

"Oh, I thought that was your attribute of the present... You killed people in the past?"

"NO, THAT'S EXACTLY WHY I NEED TO KNOW!"

Oh right, yeah I guess that makes sense now. However, be ready, my past is nothing light." And so Mikey starts talking.

Mikey tells Miyu about his past, he beginns from his childhood, where he and his friends created their own 'gang.' And started fighting for fun. Until that accident happened, where Mikey killed one of the members of Lucas's gang. Which resulted in many terrible events. Including the death of Mikey's parents.

However, Mikey doesn't mention that part. He doesn't mention that he killed someone or that his parents got killed. He just said that his fights resulted in some terrible injuries, and that his parents died in a car accident.

This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

This is followed up by the time when Mikey started living with his uncle, who taught him a lot of. Mikey also started streaming and going to the gym while living with his uncle. He stopped fighting, but Lucas and his gang always tried to catch him off-guard.

Mikey ends his story by saying almost everything. The only things he changed up was the death of his parents, the fact that he killed someone and his streaming career. He said that he wasn't really that famous but managed to get a few thousand followers.

"I am sorry, it must have been hard talking about the death of your parents, I didn't mean to remind you of something like that," Miyu apologizes.

"Don't worry about it...

You told me that you would do anything if I told you about my childhood right? Then tell me about your past too," Mikey demands.

"Yeah, I thought you would want that. But don't be surprised, my childhood is actually quite normal compared to yours," Miyu points out and starts talking.

"So, where do I start..."

(6 years ago)

"Hey Miyu! We are going to the movies tommorow, don't forget!"

"I know! I know!"

Miyu gets home from school, her bestfriend invited her to the movies, she said that two of her guy friends will be tagging along.

"AHHHH, why didn't she tell me that the guys will be going with us?" Miyu looks in the mirror all flustered.

"What am I supposed to do? I am embarrased... how am I supposed to get dressed? Am I supposed to put on make-up for this occasion? I guess I'll just ask her."

Miyu messages her bestfriend, she laughs when Miyu tells her how stressed she is, however, she reassures her that everything is going to be fine and she should just dress and act the same way she normally would.

"Alright, just gotta be myself, just gotta be myself." Miyu shakes her head.

Miyu was pretty socially awkward since her early childhood, she doesn't know why. It just occured naturally.

The movie day went surprisingly fine, there were a few awkward moments, especially one of the boys who secretly had a crush on Miyu. He tried giving Miyu several hints but she shot him down, not even realizing what he was trying to do.

A few days after this, Miyu gets a message from her bestfriend, she tells her about the game Minecraft, saying that they should try it out.

Miyu and her best friend start playing the game, they enjoy it quite a bit, they stop playing it after two months and always come back to it every now and then.

Overally, Miyu lives quite the normal live, she goes to highschool where her awkwardness remains, after graduating from high school, Miyu starts thinking about going into college. This is only a few days before she gets teleported into this world.

Miyu tells Mikey a few more stories, which really just proves that her life was quite normal. Her parents worked normal jobs, she lived a normal highschool life (besides being socially awkward) and that's all.

"And that's pretty much it. I mean, I could give you some more examples..." Miyu continues. "It's strange tho isn't it? Like, your past has nothing to do with being an Assasin or anything remotely close. And yet, your attribute is called 'The Assasin'."

"You have any ideas how is that possible?" Miyu asks Mikey hoping for an answer. Mikey stands up and starts heading towards the Elven and Human camp.

"Well, I know a certain someone (Mikey is talking about Ragnar) who's attribute has nothing to do with his past (The Viking attribute). The reason why he received it was because one of his ancestors. So in theory..." Mikey doesn't finish the sentence.

"Surely not, that would be crazy..." Miyu denies and looks at the ground.

"Maybe, I don't know." Mikey shrugs his shoulders and tells Miyu to meet him after the party, if she still has to talk about something. Mikey wanted to speak to her for longer, but he was worried that others, especially Roger, would get suspicious since he wasn't there.

And so Mikey heads back to the camp, both Humans and Elves pulled out all kinds of alcohols and are now drinking.

"Pretty crazy how we went from trying to prevent the war, to befriending and getting drunk with the Elves," Alexander, who noticed Mikey approached him with two wooden cups filled with wine. A few moments later, Alayen and Roger notice them and head towards Mikey and Alexander.

Alexander hands Mikey one of the cups. At first, Mikey declines: "I don't drink, sorry."

"Come on now, you were one of the most important people in stopping any disputes." Alexander pushes the drink onto Mikey, who finally takes it.

"Hey guys, good job preventing the war." Alayen says. "Yeah, couldn't have done it without you two." Roger adds.

"Oh, it's you guys, care to drink with us?" Alexander offers. "Sure thing," Alayen responds. Roger nods his head.

"Alright then, on the future of humanity," Mikey says the first thing that comes to mind and lifts the cup.
