Yoru, who fainted, woke up in a place he didn't know.
"You have got up?"
Yoru heard a familiar voice beside him. But when he turned around, he saw no one. He then got up and looked around him.
"You don't need to look where I am. I don't have a body for now."
"Are you System?"
"Yeah, welcome to my humble abode."
Yoru looked around him again with a strange face.
"Humble?"
"How, this place is good right."
"Yeah, even though I didn't see anything that could be said as a "humble" thing here."
"So where am I now?"
"This is an inner world. Ah... I'm not talking about the inner world in martial art stories or something like that." System sounded a little frantic.
"Then what is this place?"
"This is the place of the imagination that is in your mind. More precisely, this place is a part of your imagination."
"Could you explain a little more in detail or a little easier to understand." Yoru looks like an idiot.
"Let's just say that your imaginary world is a hotel. A hotel has many rooms, right? And this place is one of those hotel rooms. It just so happened that this hotel room was occupied by me."
"Hoh... Are you here because you are still trapped within the Eye of Truth which is still a part of my body."
"Oh... You understand it. That's right. That's the reason. Even though this place is still part of your imaginary world, but, it is within my control."
Suddenly, the place that had looked like a luxurious hotel room turned into a library. Yoru was amazed by what was going on.
"This place's original form was like this. But I changed it just now to make you feel a bit comfortable."
"Then why am I here. If I'm not mistaken, my head was hurt so much earlier which usually happens because I remembered something." Yoru was a little worried.
"Take it easy. You did remember something. More like a memory came back to you."
A finger snap sounded not long after that. And a door labeled "Memories" appeared and opened.
If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.
"Let's go in first." System invited Yoru to enter the door.
Once inside. Yoru saw that the room was like a cinema room.
"Just as it was written on the label earlier. This place contains all your memories. So all the memories you have are here." Systems explained.
"Usually memories are in the form of notes or books. And this is a film." Yoru couldn't believe what was in front of his eyes.
"You can change it if you want. Because this place is not in my control, but in your control." System gives suggestions.
"You just need to think about what you want." Add System.
Yoru then paused for a moment. And that place that used to be a cinema room slowly turned into a library. And then it turns into a museum.
"I prefer this one." Yoru said after turning the cinema room into a museum.
The place is now turned into a museum displaying items related to Yoru's memories. One of them is a display in the form of an airplane that was destroyed in the middle of the ocean. When Yoru approached and touched the display. Yoru seeing his own memories when he was 2 years old. The memory wasn't very clear because at that time, Yoru still couldn't think at all.
"So this is what actually happened during the accident that took my parents' lives. I don't remember anything after that. I only know from what the orphanage director said." Yoru didn't look sad but he looked disappointed.
"Want to see another memory?"
Yoru then walked past various objects that have significant place in his memory. He also saw some empty spots.
“This place must be the sealed memory.” Yoru tried to hold onto the empty display, but he couldn't get any image or memory.
He then continued to look at other displays and he saw one that was of a woman. The woman had shoulder-length blonde hair. She wore glasses that obscured her eyes slightly. She wore a black shirt with a knee-length skirt and a lab coat. The display was labeled "Fiona Ran Winchester".
"I know this woman. She was a classmate of mine in high school and she also attended the same university as me. But we both take different subjects. I'm more into using technology for healthcare and she's more into genetics. So we bicker a bit. Ah. .. and I slept with her a few times too." Yoru said with a big smile.
"That last information is not important right."
Yoru then touched the display and saw some memories. After Yoru saw the memory, he looked worried.
"Why are you worried?"
"This might be a big problem."
"What do you mean?"
"Fiona. After we finished our studies. She went to Japan to become an assistant to a famous professor in genetic field. This professor's name is Masamune Mochizuki. Owner of Mochizuki General Hospital. And I'm also a little close to Professor Mochizuki because we both thought about combining technology and genetics to make a super human." Yoru explained with a very tense face.
"Why are you tensed. If you are close to the owner of Mochizuki General Hospital and Fiona is also there, wouldn't that make it easier to get in there?" System sounds a little confused.
"Even though you're the best system in the entire multiverse. You sometimes don't care about the little things."
"It's not that I don't care, it's just that I don't understand what the problem is."
"Have you forgotten what year I'm from? And what year is it now?"
System now understand what Yoru meant.
"It seems a bit of a big deal. It's possible that these are the ancestors of Masamune Mochizuki."
"It's impossible. In my dimension, the earth has experienced several disasters that almost destroyed humanity. According to history. In the 2500s there was a terrible Tsunami that drowned all of Southeast Asia and a parts of Australia. Almost all humans in that place died. Even Indonesia, which originally had more than 300 million inhabitants, only less than 100 thousand left. In the 3000s, South Africa disappeared because of the impact of a meteor. And after that, to overcome the problem of loss of knowledge and history, humans finally created a data bank that was on the moon. That place stores all the historical data that mankind has ever had from the 1500s to the time I lived in. If the Mochizuki General Hospital that exists now is the ancestor of Masamune Mochizuki who was in my year, that's a bit impossible. After all, we're in a different dimension and as far as I know. Mochizuki General Hospital created by Professor Mochizuki using his hand and his own money."
"Oh,,, that's a problem. You're not from this dimension. And it's not certain that this dimension is the past of your dimension. And from what you said this will be a time and space problem... I wish I could still connect with the akashic."
"What's that?"
"Akashic. The book I once owned that contained the infinite past, present, and future of the entire existing multiverse. Back before I was split apart by Origin, Akashic was the book that connected me to Origin and served as a guide for me when a system failure happened. But after I was split up, the Akashic is now in Origin's hands. That's why I can't even be sure of the outcome of this world's evolution."
"Actually the problem is not only there."
"I know what you mean. Besides you're not from this dimension. Your body now isn't your real body. And you've also gotten younger. If the Mochizuki General Hospital here is the same place as what you remember. And Fiona is there as well , she must be 45 years old and Masamune Mochizuki has died of old age."
"Ah... Various possibilities popped up in my mind. And all of them could become a problem. Even though she might not be able to recognize me in this body because this isn't my real body and face. However, it would still be a problem."
"It's better if we think a little more flexible here. We'll see what will happen there. Then we can know how to solve the existing problems."
"That's true. If we think about the possibilities, this will never end. We better get out of he..." Yoru stopped what he was saying after he saw a display not far away.
"Yoru?"
Yoru walked up to the display which made him curious. The display is not very clear. It was proof that the memory of the display had not fully returned.
"World of Magic? VRMMORPG. What memory is this?" Yoru touched the display and instantly his vision darkened and then he woke up in a white room that stretched out infinitely.
"Ah... A nostalgic place. Which memories that I will recover now?"
