Michael was currently lying by the fire, the system forced him to 'train' for the last 4 hours, to say he looked horrible was an understatent.
That, added to the fact that he was being stared at by now 2 people, made him pretty uncomfortable.
Since he was bored and didn't really have anything else to do at the mont, he decided to try talking with Astraea.
However, he didn't exactly know what kind of a question to ask, he was not very well versed in this world's happenings.
Michael didn't want to sound too strange while asking her questions, he wanted to get to know her a bit while also learning a bit about this world.
As he was contemplating what to ask her, she suddenly walked up to him and sat down beside him, staring into his eyes before darting to the very top of his head.
"Can I try it on?" Astraea asked as she was trying to take off the floating halo from his head.
'..System?' Michael was extrely confused now, why could she see it?
How would I know?
"How long have you been able to see it?" He asked, trying to seek so confirmation.
She gave up trying to take it off and with a pouting expression, walked back to the other side of the fire and sat back down.
"Since the start" She replied as her silver eyes were still locked onto his.
'I guess that's why she is staring so much, she likes the halo..' Michael chuckled inwardly before giving up, he didn't know how to even begin a conversation with her.
Astraea had been an anomaly since the first ti he t her, she was by no ans normal.
The mories she made him rember, the halo that only he could see.
From what he understood, they were very deeply connected in the past, even if the mories he had of her were incomplete.
"Astraea, do you ever feel like there is sothing you need to rember but can't?" He asked while lying down by the fire, his body finally did not feel cold anymore.
Michael looked up at her to et her eyes and for so reason, they seed a bit unfocused for a mont before finally regaining clarity.
She tilted her head to the side "No?"
However, the unfocused eyes were a bit of a giveaway for him, he knew sothing was up, he just didn't exactly know how to get her to rember.
Michael could not see any sort of status effect on her with his Eyes of the Healer skill, so it was definitely sothing different.
The more he got to know her, even if it was extrely little, it provided him with so comfort.
Soothing the inner regret his past self had endured seed difficult, yet easy at the sa ti.
Michael just wished he could finally unlock all of his mories, he would love to get to know her more.
"I see... don't you have sowhere to be though? Why would you stick around with us?" He asked with a small tinge of curiosity.
However, he was t with silence, it did not seem like she wanted to answer his question
Michael assud she had a ho or a family to return to, maybe they wouldn't be similar in this regard as well.
'System, how many tis did I have a family? Besides the one I had in my previously world.'
Not sure, I can't see that deeply, but from what little I can see, you were always an orphan.
'Aren't I technically an archangel? Isn't God sothing like my father?' He inwardly chuckled while taking a glance at Astraea's expression.
He didn't know if he imagined it, but it looked like a small frown had been present for just a mont.
If you are referring to how archangels were born, they just ca into existence, similar to god, making him like your stepfather in a way..
The system trailed off at the very end, drawing a confused look out of Michael.
'What's wrong?'
Well... God is dead, I can tell you that much, not sure who is in charge now, however, it's definitely not him.
'Oh...' Michael's eyes slightly widened in shock as he rolled around, turning his back to the 2 people around the campfire. Stay updated with empire
'How do you know he's dead?'
I can feel it.
'That's pretty vague.. but whatever.'
As he was lost in his conversation with the system, Astraea suddenly spoke up.
"Have we t before?"
Upon hearing those words, he imdiately turned back around and stared into her confused looking eyes.
'So she is actually just like .. damn.'
Michael did not know how to reply to this question, technically, they have t before, but just not exactly recently...
Just tell her how it is, if anything, it is in your best interests to make her regain her mory.
'I guess..' Michael agreed and nodded at her, confirming her thoughts.
She looked to be in thought for a mont, her eyes turning slightly unfocused "I see."
With those words, Astraea turned around and lied down, finally taking her eyes away from him.
It seed like his confirmation did have so kind of an impact as it was the first ti she willingly looked away from him.
Michael turned to Orin and noticed he was already fast asleep, with only him remaining awake.
He thought of sleeping, however, after what happened earlier, he was not exactly in the best of moods.
Sleep was definitely not on his mind.
He decided to get up and walk outside, maybe explore a little bit.
It was also about ti he checked his status, it's been a while since he last did so.

'5% huh.. 4 hours of torture turned out to be worth only 5%...' Michael couldn't help but feel a little disappointed at the progress.
People usually take a couple of days to get that if they were to constantly be fighting, this is good progress.
'Yeah.. will I be training under the sun as well?'
Of course.
Michael rolled his eyes and took another glance at his status, a few of the stats went up and mana purity did as well.
However, he was curious about one thing in particular 'I am technically an archangel right?'
I guess?
'Then why does it still say that I am a human?'
Do you think your body could handle the bloodline of an archangel? It is still a few Tiers away and even then, it would take a while to get the most out of it, it is considered one of the strongest in the universe after all.
'I see...' Michael grumbled a little before standing up and heading outside of the cave.
He wouldn't sleep tonight and likely the next night after that, the sunlight would likely hurt more than the cold did.
Yeah, you are right, it will hurt like hell.
Michael ignored the system's snarky comnt and headed out into the forest, quite a few red dots were present on his map.
But there was also sothing strange, among them was a single yellow dot, it did not make much sense as it was in the middle of all the other ones.
At first, he thought they were fighting, however, the red dots were not moving at all.
'Can you feel anything off?'
It's so kind of a leader type monster, not sure exactly, you would need to get closer.
'How strong is it?' Michael asked and slowly made his way over, not trying to wake the others behind him.
A bit stronger than that fanatic you faced on top of the mountain, it's a good target dummy if you decide to fight it.
Michael began summoning his Swords of Light and sent them into the sky, as a form of insurance in case the battle goes south.
'I see..'
