Re: Player

[Neptune (Adam)'s POV]

.

[Coast city: Beach area!]

Walking through the beach at dawn, I felt the cold winds brushing against my face, as a refreshing feeling aroused all over my body. The smell of the sea was worth getting addicted to, as it not only helped your body get relaxed but also your mind and soul.

"Another beautiful morning," I spoke as I stretched a little, taking barefoot strolls at the beach, leaving my footprints behind as the waves slowly washed them away.

"I wish all days were as relaxing as this," I smiled as it has become a daily routine for me for the past week, so as to get up early and walk near the sea to get some morning sunlight. Although I liked to work more than take rest, this relaxing atmosphere wasn't bad at all.

Though, as all good things must come to a halt, I too stopped my walk. Feeling the presence of a girl that wasn't there before, I slowly turned around to see, who was disturbing my morning ritual today.

'Just which son a- LUCIANA?!' I almost blurted it out as I saw the figure of a girl familiar to what Quiena once showed me before.  Though I maintained my calm self on the outside.

For a few seconds, we both looked at each other silently. And observing that she wasn't going to speak anything, I spoke out first,

"What is a young child like you doing here? This city isn't a place where you should be roaming all by yourself."

"I am Luciana Wiregia. The fate Weaver of Time," she spoke without any expression as she walked closer to me. Though I was confused. I wondered why she showed her face now of all the times? Did something happen?

"I have a message from the first," she said as she took out a letter and then passed it on to me.

"He could have-" I was about to speak but she vanished from there as if she never existed in the first place. I tried looking at the [Maps!] but couldn't find her no matter what, so I gave up till the next time.

"There goes my beautiful morning," I sighed as I opened up the letter, on which characters began appearing on their own. I could only look at them with slight amazement before reading out the contents.

[ Dear Adam,

When you get this letter, you might be confused as to why am I contacting you or perhaps even who I am. So I will start with those two before I get to the main point.

I am the first Fate Weaver. The Fate Weaver of existence. And the reason I am contacting you is because I need a little bit of help from you regarding the fate of this world. And not just you but all the Fate Weavers.

Since I don't like any hidden tricks, I will keep my cards in the open. I have used a special method that collects all the fate weavers to the designated locations. One of those locations is the place where you are, the coastal city.

The reason behind is the first cataclysm that is caused by the dimensional shift. The one that is going to occur in two weeks, providing the entry of the otherworlders into this world. Though before their entry, there will be a huge wave of monsters appearing. And not just normal monsters but strong and even mythical monsters as well.

I will be handling one of those cities, and other fate weavers are also moving to the respective cities. For your city which will face the most monsters, there will be 4 Fate Weavers, along with All Father, and a few higher Gods. I don't think there will be a problem since Luciana is already there, but just in case I also called a Heaven's Guardian as well.

It might be too much for you at the moment, but please provide help as the fate of the entire world depends upon this.

Once this entire mess is over, I will provide you with the location of one of the Primordials as a reward. I hope you will be satisfied with that as this is the max I can do for you at the moment.

Thanks again. Can't wait to meet you, Adam.

Bye. *heart* *wink emoji* *smiling emoji* ]

"…"

I ran out of words to speak. Looking at the letter, the first fate weaver seemed pretty… easy going? Also, what the heck with those emojis at the end?

I felt weirded out a little but then again, that was not as important as the rest of the contents of the letter. The cataclysm, the monsters, the rewards. Can't say it's not enchanting.

"This makes me sad though," I sighed as I realized that all the plans I was making up until now, preparing for all sorts of situations, went to drain. Even though I can still utilize the situation, the end game changed for this city's play that I was planning.

"But it's still better than knowing nothing," I tried cheering myself up again. Even though it wasn't what I was expecting, I now understand what kind of scenario this is. What's going on in the background and what to expect at the end.

And since that was the case, I can shape everything properly this time.

I checked my skill set and the mana density in the air. Given how things were, I also thought about [Saving] once again since it seemed like a proper checkpoint.

"Should I try controlling the Higher Gods? Won't work. I have to save Valencia and Alicia as well. Plus there is the case of Vladmir and the Angel. Let's see… if the Angel is another Fate Weaver, then I know the 4 Fate Weavers more or less. Hmmm… what should I say to Harik about this?"

A smile formed on my face as I began thinking of all the possibilities that were going to occur in the next two weeks, and once again I began walking on the cold sand. This time, in the opposite direction, towards the Neptune Clinic, where the Gods and Angels were busy curing people.
