Rex Violet couldn't understand why his disciple, Elurian, was so agitated about today's date. He had been pondering over his disciple's strangeness lately. Despite interacting with other residents, Elurian had no family or friends who recognized him. It was as if he had appeared out of nowhere, with no clear identity or known origins.

Rex Violet planned to question Elurian about his origins, but not now. Their relationship wasn't close enough for Elurian to reveal his secret. A boy without any family or friends, or even someone who knows him, is quite suspicious.

Apart from seeing him in the Sanctuary square, Rex Violet had never encountered him before. Putting that aside, Rex Violet decided to wait and see what his suspicious disciple would do.

Elurian is considering whether to inform his Master about the upcoming disaster in the Sanctuary. If he told his Master, then he had to prepare a reason for how he knew that information.

After thinking about it further, he decided to tell his Master about the disaster. After finishing dinner, Rex Violet told him to go to bed while he remained in the dining room, finishing his wine.

Elurian got down from his seat and walked towards his Master who was sitting on the other side of the dining table.

"Master, There's something I want to talk to you." Elurian raised his head, looking at his Master who turned his head.

Rex Violet glanced at several servants standing in the corner, then at his disciple who suddenly took the initiative to talk to him.

Finally, he put down the wine glass, then replied, "Okay, let's talk about it in my room."

...

They headed to the study that Rex Violet usually used to manage of his work as owner of the Sanctuary. Rex Violet sat in his usual place behind the work desk, while Elurian climbed into a chair on the other side of the work desk.

At that time, Rex Violet realized that he had forgotten that the height of the chair was not suitable for his small disciple. It was natural for him to pay less attention to such trivial things because he had never looked after a child before.

So, he got up and grabbed Elurian who was struggling to climb onto the chair. He took him to sit and held him on his lap.

"You're too small to sit on the other side of the table."

Elurian was a little embarrassed, his Master's words did make sense, but it felt strange that he was treated like this. He felt treated like a baby.

"So, what do you want to talk about?" Rex Violet played with his silver hair, this was the first time he was so close to someone, letting someone else sit on his lap.

"That... Master, I... I can see the future, I mean I dream of it, it's like reality." Elurian chose to use that strange reason as an excuse, but he knew that it was hard to believe.

However, it was impossible for him to tell about his agreement with a certain entity, it was against the contract, and of course he wasn't sure whether Rex Violet would believe him or just kill him because he was being too unreasonable?

Rex Violet tilted his head, muttering, "Prophecy?"

His expression changed slightly, as if he remembered something. He stared at his disciple sharply.

"Explain that."

Elurian took a deep breath, preparing for the worst response from his Master.

He raised his head and met a pair of different colored eyes. Elurian told the prophecy, "Tonight, no, precisely at midnight, a terrible disaster will appear. That disaster will destroy the three Sanctuaries in the Liyun region."

This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

Rex Violet was a little surprised when he saw his disciple's gray eyes change color for a moment when his disciple told him about the prophecy.

"Master?" Elurian blinked in confusion because his Master's expression wasn't right, did he not believe him?

Rex Violet closed his eyes for a moment before replied calmly, "How did you know that dream would happen tonight?" The brief explanation he heard did not include when it arrived, so did his disciple instinctively know that or was he not telling the truth?

'Is he lying? Why?' Rex Violet didn't understand why his disciple had to lie about such an important matter, but he ultimately decided to believe his disciple words now and deal with his lies later.

Elurian had already prepared an answer for that. He answered, "The dream told me the time."

There were indeed many holes in his words, Elurian clearly knew that his Master must have detected the lie of his story, but his prophecy was not a lie.

It felt like he was acting inconsistently, Elurian felt this strangeness. He seemed to have turned into someone he didn't recognize, no, more precisely, he seemed to be affected by something unknown.

'What's wrong with me?!'

"Alright, you can go if there's nothing else, I'll take care of that problem right away." Rex Violet lowered him from his lap, then gave him a magical red crystal pendant.

"That's a new communication tool, contact me through it. Since you still can't feel aether, you have to use your blood to contact me," said Rex Violet while frowning, he don't like use blood. However, there is no other way than that.

'It will take a long time to get back here, if the predictions are true, then there will be a lot of chaos there.'

Rex Violet wasn't worried about his Sanctuary being affected because he had prepared large-scale protection while he was away, except for existences on par with him, then the protection will not be destroyed.

Elurian was shocked when he received a magical crystal pendant, he held it tightly and promised not to lose it. At that moment, Elurian wondered why his Master didn't ask him anything else?

Rex Violet once again patted his head, and said, "Take care of yourself here." Elurian was his only disciple, so he didn't want anything bad to happen to him.

Elurian nodded, then watched his Master disappear in a flash of reddish light, just like when his Master had come to save him in the Twilight Forest.

It would be a short journey for Rex Violet to get to the other three Sanctuaries because he had saved the coordinates of those places. However, Elurian didn't know if the Mutation Disaster was the same as what the novel described.

He realized the problem he should have thought about from the start, namely the butterfly effect of appearing in this world and becoming Rex Violet's apprentice.

Even though it was part of the entity's plan, Elurian continued to feel like he was being controlled like a puppet. His body, thoughts, intentions, and events that occur around it feel like something that is expected to happen.

Elurian suddenly felt a sharp pain inside his head, as if his brain was being dug out. He fell to his knees and the pendant in his hand was thrown to the side.

"Ugh!" he groaned in pain.

His gray eyes turned violet. At that moment, the voice of a certain entity, that he was familiar with it, echoed in his mind.

[Get out of control! This is not you! I should have told you earlier if you were going to assimilate the remnants of the original owner's personality.]

Elurian froze, his pupils shaking as he tried to understand the entity's intentions. He did feel an inconsistency within himself that was difficult to understand, as if he could only move according to the existing script and not take the initiative to carry out his duties.

"What's wrong with me?" Elurian asked the same question. "Isn't this reincarnation? Does this body actually have an original owner?"

[That's right, the body originally had a soul, but for some reason the soul disappeared and perhaps still left behind remnants of the original owner's personality.]

Elurian gritted his teeth, exclaiming, "Then, why are you telling me that this is reincarnation and this body was made for me?"

[...I can't answer that. You're not allowed to know. Also, the most important thing now is to separate yourself from the remain personality of the original owner and start your task. Everything you need for your plan is already with you.]

Elurian was silent for a long time. He was trying to separate something that was one with him. The original owner's personality influence him to slow and stupid way of thinking. Also, something felt like being controlled, Elurian couldn't have misinterpreted it because the feeling of being controlled was so real.

"Who is controls me?"

Now, his mind started to clear up. He is Ahn Seohyun, not Elurian!

He simply took over Elurian's identity, but he was clearly not Elurian. After suppressing the assimilation of the remaining personality of its original owner, Elurian began to regain full consciousness and the control he felt slowly disappeared.

[As long as you are not assimilated by it, you will not be controlled.] The entity, which now had a human voice, a woman's voice.

Elurian frowned as he grabbed his fallen pendant. He wore the pendant around his neck, then stood up from his position. He knew the entity wouldn't answer questions related to something he wasn't supposed to know about, so he wasn't surprised by the diversion.

"Fortunately, my Master already left or my abnormality would have been noticed by him." Elurian was happy with this.

Now, he had to reorganize his thoughts and plans that he made before transmigrated in this world.
