"We shall send you to the time when Lucifero first began his plots to rule the realms. This will be before the time you were born-a time in which some of the strongest humans walked the mortal plane. Time will reset, and your soul will be taken into a new body."

"Why me? Why me, of all the humans that exist? Why not fight him yourselves?"

A troubled expression made its way onto the messenger of the gods, before swiftly leaving.

"Only Lord possesses the true power to confront Lucifero, but he must conserve his energy for her. He is meticulously arranging the world so that every piece of the puzzle he holds will be within reach, significantly boosting his chances of victory. With each effort, he has come closer to achieving his goal of defeating |_ _ _| |_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _|. Lord wishes for you mortals to rise up and strike down the tyrant on his behalf, sparing him the burden of doing it himself. While that may be an unrealistic hope, he at least desires for you to inflict serious harm on the king."

Bigger fight? What is she talking about? Who could be stronger than Lucifero?

"What fight are you talking about-"

"Silence! There's no need for you to know. And just to clarify before you ask, yes, he is manipulating all of you mortals. He has no concern for your well-being and never will; after all, why would a deity bother with the insignificant creatures beneath him? If I were to send you with your full power, the Apostles and Disciples of the demon clan would instantly target you. Therefore, you will start life anew. Fate will bring you close to those who will play crucial roles in the unpredictable future. If you have no further questions, I will send you on your way and out of my sight!"

"I have one final question: who was it that rescued me?"

The enormous hand that had been pinning me down disappeared as if it had never existed. For the first time, she gazed into my eyes, and I noticed a spark in her warm brown eyes.

"Someone you will never have the honor of meeting. Now, off with you." Uztia finished as my vision was cut out.
