[Another Shocking Fact!]
"I didn't think it would be really true," she spoke with the most relaxed expression she ever had. Holding me closer as if she never wanted to let me go, she mumbled in a low and audible voice,
"Thank you for coming here."
-Grrrrrr!!!
While I was confused, I looked at the monsters surrounding us. They weren't the zombies or the skeletons, but the giant black monsters with skeletal heads that followed Ameliana when she was in the reception before.
Though their numbers were in dozens compared to the 2 before.
Hearing the voices, Ameliana then separates herself from me as she looks at those monsters around. Her eyes narrowed in disgust as she looked at them.
"Burn"
She muttered as a dozen fireballs attacked those monsters, followed by another dozen. It was a barrage of attacks that kept ongoing for half a minute until all of those monsters were finally dead.
"There. Now let us talk about us, shall we? I am sure you have a lot to tell me," she looked at me with hopeful eyes. It's as if her eyes were expecting something to be heard more… though honestly I had no idea what to make of this situation…
"Amelia. What's the meaning of this?" A voice unpleasant as it could be, was heard from behind as another man, donned in black, stood at a distance from us. His eyes looked at me with pure hatred.
Ameliana's eyes widened as if she had seen a ghost or something… but taking a peek at me, all her worries vanished as she moved forward,
"Amir. I didn't think you were that obsessed with me…. But this is the end. I am leaving you behind. This is my final decision."
My eyes widened as I looked at the human-like magician observing us from a distance. His eyes burned black as he looked at the both of us. Even though his hatred was consuming him…
"Just tell me… why? What in the world has come over you that you found hope to go against someone like me?" he asked, keeping his patience at its limit.
"You don't need to know. You aren't worthy enough," Ameliana spoke as she looked at me with a loving smile, as if she were a maiden in love, before she turned back to Amir and continued,
"This is the end. I am quitting with your foolhardy."
Hearing Ameliana's words, Amir was fumed beyond what he could control…
"YOU FUCKING WH*RE!! WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE F*CKING WITH?!!!" he shouted as he launched about a hundred giant black fireballs at us. His eyes glared as if he wanted to chew us alive.
"Retracing shield!" Amelia muttered as she created a shield in between us. Her eyes looked at the number of attacks with a patient gaze.
"Aren't you going to fight?" Ameliana asked as she looked at her shield slowly breaking, while her eyes looked at me with hope. Though what could I possibly do in this situation? I don't even know what was going on here…
Though before I restart… I wanted to know something…
"If it doesn't sound too odd… why are you helping?" I asked with a direct gaze, making her surprised even more. Though that surprised look vanished as she observed me with slight pity,
"Seems like you are not the one. Well… it's a ridiculous thing to be fair… but I already crossed the line…" she seemed to realize her mistake as she turned to Amir before she sighed as she turned back to me,
"It is because you took my true name… known only to me and my deceased mother. Only someone who is exceptionally in love with me can know my true name. It was a curse… and I understand that you are from the future too… because no one really loves me in this timeline… though I wonder…"
The shield broke as the dark fireballs penetrated through. Burning Amelia first, it then charred me as well…
[You Have Died!]
[Game Over!]
[Loading from last Save Point!]
[Loading Complete!]
My eyes opened up as I looked at the empty ceiling again… this time the information I got was a little over the top…
Amelia's real name… nobody knows it right now. But in the future she became the Saint, making her name known all over the continent. A saint's name cannot be hidden, so God's power must be more than the curse.
And one more piece of information that I received was…
It was impossible to stop the process.
Not with Amir around.
"At least till I am only this powerful," I closed my eyes as I decided to change my thinking pattern. Honestly, leaving this quest would be a waste. It was a golden opportunity that could build a strong foundation of my power in this world.
"Take a deep breath.." I inhaled slowly as I closed my eyes before opening it again.
"All right. Time for Plan B," I decided as I stood up, got out of the room before taking Mira's weapon again. My heart calmed down a little, before I jumped out again, reached the skeleton warriors and zombies again.
Fought against the necromancer and killed him.
[Frenzy: Uncommon -> Advanced!]
[Super Strength: Uncommon -> Advanced!]
[Battle Zone: Common -> Advanced!]

[You have reached Level 20!]
[Please select a Class to unlock the Skill Tree!]
[Dexterity: 55 -> 79!]
This time, however, rather than facing Ameliana…
'The south-east gate should be around here,' I mumbled as I ran through the town as fast as I could. Using [One Way Out] was rather a nice move, and adding [Frenzy] after that, I increased my Dexterity over 400 in a blink. Only the most exceptional ones should be able to reach me.
Running out of the town was rather easy. Though that was only the beginning as I circled around the town, reaching the west side, before I finally reached the Desert Goblin's nest.
I would have chosen to select a Class and unlock the Skill Tree, but I decided to kill the Desert Goblins first. The reason being that [One Way Out!] still had about 10 seconds left. Not gonna waste that…
