Chapter 234: Past – Part 1

"Understand, Ingrid, there are many clans, and they accept all kinds of people, all so that by a miracle they are strong, even though they are collectively weak. Only the bigger clans will accept strong people, and this clan of his must be among the top 100, but only from the Empire from the earth. He just didn't say that because he wanted to make it sound more important. Didn't he see that he was a bit narcissistic, and thought the girl was a fool not to be with him?" Luan explained.

"It makes sense," Ingrid nodded.

"Anyway, turn this monster into credits," Luan said.

"But I'm hungry," Ingrid complained, intending for Luan to dismantle it and they start cooking the tiger.

"I brought meat in one of the rings, don't worry," Luan said.

"Oh, fine then." She walked over and placed her hand on the tiger's back.

[Turn [Bull] into 51 credits?]

'Yes,' Ingrid said mentally.

The tiger turned into particles of light and disappeared.

"Mm, this looks like a game," Ingrid commented.

"From a certain point of view, it is a game," Luan said. "If you die, you don't really die, and the monsters turn into credits that you can exchange for items in a shop. The only difference is that when we return to our world, it won't be worth the same thing. It can be said that this tower is the greatest way to strengthen and survive in our world. After all, the monsters here evolved very fast."

"Is everyone like that?" Ingrid asked.

"No, those who lost their worlds and were trapped here cannot die. If they die, it's final," Luan said.

"Lost their world?" Ingrid was once again confused and scared at the same time.

"Many lose to monsters and end up losing their world and end up running away to the tower and living in the tower. Those who are born in the tower, their Origin is in the tower. It's like having a save point in the game, but they, in this case, don't have that privilege," Luan said.

"... I understand." Ingrid sighed as she digested the new information she had gained.

Suddenly Ingrid asked, "Luan, did you get this information from your past life?"

"Yes and no." Luan sighed and closed his eyes. Staring at Ingrid, he said, "Let's go over there. I need to tell you something." He pointed to a large rock. It was enough for them to sit down.

"Ingrid, actually I'm from the future, I'm sorry for lying," Luan apologized.

"Wait, from the future, really?" Ingrid was scared.

"Yes, and a lot of things happened in the future that I wanted to forget, and I couldn't explain how I knew what I knew, so I made up memories from the past," Luan sighed.

"How many years in the future are we talking about?" Ingrid tried to remain calm.

"Almost a thousand years," Luan said, "I experienced many things that I wanted to forget..."

"But then, are you a thousand years old or 18 years old?" Ingrid asked.

"Actually, the thousand years feels more like something I received, something that happened and didn't happen. Most of the thousand-year feelings I felt, I don't feel, nor the arrogance I once had for arriving in the Sixth Order and almost reaching the Seventh Order..."

"Almost, why did you die at that point?" Ingrid interrupted.

"I was killed, betrayed by someone I trusted while moving to the Seventh Order," Luan said with a forced smile.

"... This person, did they go back in time as well?" Since he went back in time, she figured so.

"No, they didn't. Somehow she just disappeared. It even seems like a lie that she ever existed. But I remember well, she existed, and thinking about it, she taught me a lot of things and helped me get stronger until I got to the Seventh Order and she killed me while I was going through the Seventh Order," Luan explained.

"Maybe she's not from our world, so she doesn't exist?" Ingrid still managed to remain rational.

"That..." Luan didn't even think about it, because it should have been impossible, right? After all, you can't take another person from another world to your own world. "A Parasite?"

"A what?" Ingrid asked.

"There was a race of Parasites... She could have been one and entered the body of someone from our world and invaded our world. But why did she train me and kill me?" That's what he didn't understand.

"Isn't it simple? She wanted your body," Ingrid said.

"My body... Yin body... She always talked about how special it was and even gave me a technique that made me impotent. Was it all for the purpose of stealing my body in the future?" Luan was a little scared and angry at the same time.

"Had you been impotent for nearly a thousand years?" Ingrid didn't know why, but she was happy when she heard it.

"Yes... That's why I never got to date anyone. At most, it was girls wanting to be with me, but how would that work? She told me that if I made it to the Seventh Order, I could go back... Well, you understand," Luan said.

"Haha, seriously, you've been tricked for almost a thousand years by her, all to transform into a perfect body for her. This is kind of funny, but well, at least you've come back with the memories of everything, and now you can have a fresh start, right?" Ingrid was incredibly unaffected by the fact that Luan lived nearly a thousand years through the future.

She would be affected if he had had sex with other women and dated other women before, but since he was impotent, she was somehow okay?

Ingrid asked, "The case of the elf that appeared in the girl's life, did you already know that would happen?"

"Yes, he was the one who killed and ate my mother and Ingrid alive." Luan's eyes showed a little fury, but he returned to normal as he remembered what he had done to Lazarus.

"Oh... You must have suffered a lot." Ingrid felt sorry for him. She hugged him and was silent.
