The unknown man handed his cat to one of the newcomers. "Let's start our introductions," he said. "My name is Grein, and this is my cat, Snvy, from Planet Rumhei. The elder person you met earlier was Ideyl from the moon Cryos. Twel and Sako are also from the same moon, and the last one is Genep from Tr..."

"Wait, we'll continue this later," Genep interrupted. "We should have this conversation inside, where we can talk freely."

Grein agreed, and they walked toward a small wooden house. From the outside, it appeared modest, but inside, it was entirely different. The interior had a modern look, with advanced technology seamlessly integrated into the design.

Prince was taken aback but remained silent. His eyes widened in surprise as he took in the surroundings.

Twel smiled and said, "The things you can see can be virtual, and the things you can't see can be real in this place."

They all sat around a round table. Grein took out a display panel showing an image of ten different universes.

"Prince," Grein began, "you might be wondering why I disguised myself as your classmate. I needed to keep an eye on you closely. We all did."

Prince's brow furrowed, but he didn't speak.

Grein continued, "There are ten planets from ten different universes interconnected in some way. The multiverse is linked, and I've named these planets: 1. Zureryo, where you live, 2. Evren, 3. Yernul, 4. Monoy, 5. Trgao, 6. Vami, 7. Rumhei, 8. Suya, 9. Deiro, and 10. Haikom. Something unnatural is happening, and it all started with a creature from the moon of Jery, the largest planet in Zureryo's solar system. Cryos, another moon of Jery, was destroyed by this creature."

Prince's eyes widened even more, a mix of confusion and curiosity evident in his expression.

Grein paused, studying Prince's reaction. "Before I tell you more about this creature, you need to know that you and I were reincarnated. The soul of King Savue of Planet Jery was divided into ten parts during his death. It's a long story, but what's important now is that King Savue's soul gave birth to Yaduro and his brother. Yaduro is causing disturbances everywhere and won't stop until he reaches SERY."

Prince struggled to process this information, his silence reflecting his inner turmoil.

"We need you," Grein said earnestly. "To maintain balance, stability, and peace, we need you to join us."

Prince felt a surge of emotions—fear, disbelief, and a hint of hope. Despite his confusion and fear, he felt a strange sense of belonging. Maybe, just maybe, he had found his purpose.
