"Mizy, meet Yang, my brother. Yang, meet Mizy my duo from the military" I lazily introduced both of them the same way Yang introduced me to his friend.

I didn't use "partner" and instead used "duo from the military" in an attempt to not think Yang that we were dating. Well, we were not dating, but he might get some ideas.

"Nice to meet you" "Never knew you had the spine to talk to a girl" Both of them started talking about what was inside of their mind simultaneously.

I of course ignored the obvious insult that Yang gave me. How dare he?

"Huh?" Mizy let out a surprised noise upon hearing what Yang said about me.

"Just ignore what he said" was all that I could say.

I mean what should I have said? "Mizy can you please slap him" would either offend both of them, and "Yang shut up" would've infuriated Yang. Who knows, maybe he will search for Yin in an attempt to cool off.

"Oh um- okay." Mizy replied in an awkward voice. Thanks for ruining the mood, Yang.

"So, what is she doing here" Yang changed the subject of our conversation.

Currently, the three of us are in my house. But yeah... He was right, there was no point in bringing her here. I could've just told him to go to where mom and dad lived. While I teleport us there.

"Yeah Jade, why am I here?" She asked me a question that I wished she didn't ask.

But, there was no point in lying, so I would just give them the reasoning why.

"We are going to meet Jay. And well uh, you being here doesn't really mean anything. I just did not think this through"

"... Well I may be related to Jay, but I don't really have any aspirations of meeting him"

"And why do I have to meet up with Dad? And what about Yin? Is that thing still on standby?" Yang said at the same time while Mizy was talking, all while calling Yin a thing.

Since both of them replied simultaneously, I had to separate the words that I heard.

"Mizy, we are meeting Jay to discuss the terms for your father... I don't like him" Oh, and Jay please tell her the truth. I don't want to tell her that she has no relations with him.

"And Yin, we are meeting Dad to discuss about him."

"Him?" Mizy muttered out a confused sound. Oh right, she doesn't know about Ashura, nor does she have to know about him.

"Don't worry, it is not that important" I replied to remove Mizy from the subject.

'Not that important' and 'discussing it with Jay' are contradictory, but as long as she doesn't know about it, it is okay.

"Okay then, I won't ask about it in the future." Great, that is what I like about her. She is such an understanding person.

-!!

In an instant, our surroundings changed. We were teleported.

I looked around and the room was familiar. It was the same living room as Mom and Dad's home.

I stopped looking around when I saw Jay's face still dons a smiling face. Oh, and Fedra was nowhere to be seen, phew.

"Yin and Fedra are at your grandparents' house. Don't worry they won't be here until four pm." He said just before taking a sip at a cup. Was it tea or coffee?

I looked at the time and it was nine AM. Great! More hours to spend time here.

"Tea"

Oh, so it was tea.

"Let's start with Ashura first." His smile dropped and his face turned serious. His eyes turned to Yang's.

Now I was worried. Why is he staring at Yang instead of me?

"Yang, just forget about it. You don't have to do anything, just leave him be. He can't do anything." He said in a serious tone.

Suddenly, his face turned to its usual look.

"Now then, let's talk about you.... Goftkza Mzichey." He turned his attention towards Mizy. I wonder why he said her last name first.

Huh? Was that all he was going to talk about Ash? His face turned towards me.

"Yes, there was and is no point in talking about him. Just ignore his remains and live as usual."

What does he mean by that? Why was he telling us to ignore Ashura who obviously still has some ties left on THE WORLD? What does he mean by remains? Does that mean there really was a soul in that book? Shouldn't that mean we should not ignore him?

"Yes there is a soul in each book, but that's it. Just ignore what had happened." He said in his usual tone and face, not taking anything seriously. "But if you do ignore my advice... Oh well, it won't really change much. He'd still eventually get out."

"Now back to you Goftkza."

Suddenly our surroundings changed. This room was from back then! It was somewhat nostalgic, even tho my memory of this place was just Jay leaving me here.

But, where was Yang? Is he all alone in that house?

"Let's give him time to think about it." Why is he even being so mysterious? What does Yang have to think about? Oh well, whatever.

"You know about your family history right?" Jay turned his attention once again to Mizy.

Mizy just nodded her head, too afraid or awkward to speak in front of Jay.

"One part of it is untrue, we are not relatives." At least Jay told her about it. I don't know how to tell her that we weren't relatives. She would probably think I was overconfident. "And this guy right here knows about it" he brought me to the conversation.

"Oh well, it won't be long until you become our relative" What does he mean by that? Is she going to die and I would inject her with my blood to save her?

"I am going to ignore what you thought Jared."

"I don't care what you guys do to your father. But, since Jared here hates your father, you two might accomplish it."

"What "accomplish it"?" Finally, Mizy spoke a word since we met Jay.

"My son here has my looks- well minus the blue eyes that are secretly black. Jared having my looks can help or rather will bring Obediah to your side."

He does have a point, Obediah was so fanatic about Jay that he started to worship me just because of my appearance.

"Now then, I guess we are finished here"

Our surroundings changed again. We returned to the living room and I noticed that time flew normally. I estimated that we spent seven minutes inside that place, and it seemed seven minutes passed by.

"Where were you guys?" Yang asked in a monotonous tone, but his eyes told me that he was offended that he was left here all alone.

"Yang" Jay said in a serious tone, ignoring Yang's questions. He knelt down on one knee to match Yang's height. "You are free to choose, but my advice for you is to just ignore him."

Yang stayed silent as if he was contemplating. This was weird, I discovered there was a soul hiding in the book, but why was he that obsessed with it?

"But if you can't really ignore him, then you may search for him. Just know you will regret it." Yang nodded his head upon hearing Jay's advice.

"Of course, you still have to go to school!" Jay's usual attitude returned. Thank the gods, or rather thank Jay..... I was getting more and more uncomfortable since Jay was being serious.

Yang still nodded at what Jay said. No- no no no! I know what this means. Avatars. An avatar or his real body may be left inside of the house. No! I want to be free!

"You may leave. No, leave this house." Huh? Jay just commanded us to leave this house.

"I am teleporting my wife back here, I can't bear not being with her for an hour on this day. I miscalculated." Yikes! "Unless you want to be traumatized by her, I suggest you leave"

"Got it!"

I teleported the three of us instantly. I do not want to be near that woman, who knows what she might do!

Oh....

I forgot to ask him what had happened to Earth while I was gone. Like why were there human-animal hybrids now? I silently despaired in my mind for my mistake.

"Jay, I am going to find some answers. You helping or not helping won't change my opinion on Ashura" He said "Ashura" with some venom in his voice in comparison to the rest which was monotonous.

I wonder why he hates Ashura. Did Ashura steal his candies? No that would be silly.

Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on Royal Road.

Oh, and he just disappeared.

"Hey, do you want to talk with Obediah about your father" I was about to say that, but thankfully I remembered that I should not call her as "hey"

"Mizy, do you want to talk with Obediah about your father"

"Sure! But first, let me explore your house for a bit!" It seems her attitude returned. But why does she want to explore my house? It is just a normal house.

I could've said no, but I don't know how to reject her. Do I just say "no, and get out of my house" like Jay did?

"You know what, never mind.-" She said while looking at my face. She may have noticed me becoming uncomfortable. "Let's just meet with Obediah now, I have a plan."

I wonder what her plan was and what for her. It would be funny if she already had a plan for a coup. Nah that would be far too unrealistic, I think she was just planning on how to skip time while thinking about the next step.

"and that is my plan" She finished talking about the plan she made up to overthrow and kill her dad. Killing her dad was just too far!

What I was thinking was more like just couping her father and exiling him to a random planet.

She really had a plan... Maybe the reason she had a plan was because I thought of it. I really shouldn't imagine things.

"Do you support her guy with the face of my lord?" Obediah asked. He really called me "guy with the face of my lord".

I nodded my head. But I still had something to say.

"B-" I was about to add in that her father doesn't need to be killed but-

"Great! Then I am with you. Your plan can have some minor adjustments-" Obediah interrupted what I was going to say. "Jared here should take on a much bigger role"

Excuse me? I am entirely content with my role in the plan, and that was just fighting those who dared to attack us.

And so, Obediah modified the plan even further.

To summarize the plan; Mizy is going to set up a party with his father and all of the empire's important rulers. Of course, this wouldn't be possible without Obediah.

Now here is where the plan changed. I am now supposed to give a whole speech to the empire that the Goftkza family were not related to Jay, and that I am its proof. After I say my whole speech, Obediah will vouch for me, and will also save Mizy by telling them we are duos in the military. What happens next is completely random.

I was entirely against this! My social anxiety would not allow me to deliver a speech to a crowd. Plus, they were planning on having Mizy's father to be erased. I was against it.

"I do not agree with all of this" I finally stated my opinion, and both of their attention was on me. "First, I do not support erasing Mr ugh Goftkza." I forgot his name

"Second, I can't speak to a crowd"

Both of them stared at me without saying anything for a couple of seconds. That was until Obediah broke the silence.

"Then we shall have Yin do the whole speech." Yin? Why not Yang? "Jared, your whole job here is to just persuade Yin to cut her hair short and change her hair color."

Oh, he probably picked Yin because she is the one closest to looking like Jay. I think the only difference on their faces is that Jay is bigger and Yin has blonde hair.

"And about the former. What do you expect us to do with him?"

"Send him to a random planet with no connections of course!" It was the most logical thing to do. It was also what the British did to Napoleon.

"If we do that, he'd be better as dead. What stops him from returning? Or if he really can't communicate or do anything anymore, then he is better dead."

He has a point. But it is just that, I do not want anyone to die.

"Then we can either spare him or kill him" Mizy finally joined the conversation. "While I really want to kill him, I see how his death can bring you a lot of guilt. Then Jared, we will spare him if we can, or we will kill him"

I lost. There was no chance for me to convince them. Even if I back out from the plan, they can always use Yin. In fact, my role in this plan was really limited.

Even if Yin doesn't know them, I feel like Jay would force her.

And I absolutely would not spoil the plan for Mr Goftkza. While I despise this plan, I am not a traitor.

And so, I finally nodded my head, signaling my defeat.

Yang Everos

I began my search for Ashura Eversor. I first started with the box in a box, I felt like it was the best start.

And so, I typed in "Ashura Eversor(my brother)" to make sure that Eversor and Everos were the same people.

The results blew my mind. The results stated that he was currently not sealed and was just living perfectly. No no no no, it was stated there he was currently retired. His appearance however was perfectly similar to Ashura Everos, my brother.

There was also his birthday, July 16 and 17 in the year 622. The same birthdate as Everos. But his age here was 22. That added another confusion.

The results contradict themselves. I put in "(my brother)", but it was also stated here that he was currently retired. Then what happened to Everos? I doubt Everos is retired, he seemed pretty active on what he was planning to do.

Everos did something to Catherine's father. He can't remember some details, or rather those details were removed from his concept.

I was extremely confused. Does that mean I have another brother?

I started reading the information again, starting with the family. I was there, it was stated that I, that thing, Jared, my parents are his family. There were also those two people that I did not recognize.

"Evelyn Leigh Eversor" and "unborn child". Unborn child seems like a terrible name unless it was just a title for his unborn child of course.

But. "Ashura Everos" was not stated there. This Eversor was not an avatar, he was a completely separate identity.

I started reading again.

Huh?

"He is the current and only embodiment of evil" "He currently has no power"

Everos was stated to be the only embodiment of evil, then why is Eversor also the only embodiment of evil?

While the evidence stacks up so much that it was now believable that Eversor and Everos are the same, the sealed, currently retired, 22, and a couple of octillion years made me doubt it.

And so I continued reading.

Huh? Warnings?

'Warnings:

When you encounter him, immediately erase your concept. Hope he will not bring you back.

The moment you feel his aura if you can still control yourself, immediately erase your concept and hope he will not bring you back.

Never look at his eyes no matter how beautiful they are.

Do not form any contracts with him, he will break them without any repercussions. If you do, erase your concept and hope he will not bring you back.

Do not fight him, it will make your fate much worse.

DO NOT CALL HIM ASH

DO NOT GO TO multiverse 4-9o4*178@3, universe xlo91s=*5s3d.0ju3ei, galaxy treple spiral 901-q, planet Jewry.]'

The same warnings as back then. Even the same coordinates.

I began reading the information again. But apart from that information, he was like.... A mortal.

He made some friends, he had a kid and a wife. The only difference between him and an average mortal was that he was perfect.

Good looks, good charisma, and good connections, he also led a WW1 army era to victory.

Oh and one more thing that I learned was that the planet he was staying on is still in the middle 20th century. Well minus the radical and nationalistic part, just the technology and culture. He was also the magister militum over the superpower empire on the planet.

There were also some parts that I read where he removed a portion of the empire's borders to make it into new countries. And in those new countries, he sent the POWs into slavery since slavery was prohibited inside the empire.

'Currently married to the demon lord "Evelyn Leigh Leon".'

He was the author of the books.

I now understood why he wrote them. It was to help his wife control her powers and give her information.
