Chapter 1108 ?I’m Not Dreaming, Right?
"Thank you," Lux accepted the tea offered to him by the young lady and held it with both hands.
It was warm, and it allowed the Half-Elf to feel very much alive. He really thought that he was a goner after being hit by Daniel's attack.
However, he still wasn't sure if he was dreaming, in limbo, or was trapped inside an illusion.
There was simply no way for him to return to Earth, and his current situation made him feel at a loss.
Perhaps, seeing how lost he was, the young lady pitied him and invited him to her apartnt.
Since it was her dog's fault that caused the handso young man to have amnesia, she felt that she needed to help him in any way she could.
Peanut, who was unaware of what his Master was thinking, happily ate the dog food on his plate.
"Do you rember anything?" the young lady asked. "Perhaps a family na?"
Lux shook his head. "You can call Lux. How should I address you?"
"You can call Lu— Lucy," Lucy said.
An awkward silence fell between the two. Lux didn't know how to proceed because he didn't want "Lucy" to think of him as a lunatic.
Lucy, on the other hand, didn't really have many experiences in talking to boys who were near her age.
She had stayed in an all-girls school till she graduated, and it was only now that she was starting to talk to people of the other gender.
Suddenly, Lux started talking, making her ears perk up.
"What I'm going to tell you is a story that may or may not be real," Lux stated. "Whether you believe it or not, is up to you."
Lucy looked at the handso young man who had a very sad expression on his face.
"There were two sisters, who really loved each other," Lux said softly. "Both of them had been scouted by many agents, hoping that they would beco idols. The two of them rejected these offers until one day, one of the two sisters beca sick.
"Her disease wasn't a simple one, and if she didn't get an operation soon, her chance of survival would be very slim. Because of this, the elder sister decided to beco an idol so that she could earn money to let her sister get the treatnt she needed to get better."
Lucy, who was listening to Lux's story, felt her hands tremble because it was very similar to sothing that she had experienced in the past. Since she knew that the young man was still not finished with his tale, she remained silent and continued to listen to his story.
"The young lady, who has been confined in the hospital, was very happy that her sister was slowly becoming popular. Because of this, she decided to help her in any way that she could. Since she couldn't really go anywhere, she decided to create an account and nad it Little_Falling_Star."
At that mont, the sound of breaking reached Lux's ears, making him raise his head.
"Who are you?!" Lucy asked. "How did you know about this?! Do you know my sister?! Answer !"
Even though Lucy was glaring at Lux, the Half-Elf remained composed and continued to tell his story.
"She tried to help her sister by fighting against the trolls who were bashing her on the internet. However, Little_Falling_Star was a kind soul. She was easily affected by the hate of those who were targeting her sister and didn't know what to do next.
"That was until she t soone nad MoonKnight69. The two beca good friends, and together, they protected the rising idol nad Luna. When the popular idol managed to gather enough funds, she imdiately used it to let her sister, Aina Williams, undertake her operation."
"Please… stop," Lucy said before covering her mouth with her hands as tears stread down her eyes.
Lux nodded before waving his hand.
The broken pieces of glass on the floor rged together, and the tea that had soaked the carpet disappeared, not leaving a trace behind.
Lucy was too distraught to pay attention to this, as she cried.
He wanted to hug her, but he knew that he couldn't do that.
Several minutes passed before Lucy finally regained enough composure to sit back down and look at her guest with reddened eyes.
"Just who are you?" Lucy asked. "How did you know about my sister?"
"I am MoonKnight69," Lux replied. "And I ca from a world very far from this place."
Lux snapped his finger, and the elents gathered to create a blue world, similar to Earth.
The young lady looked at the hovering world in front of her in disbelief. She even reached out to touch it to check if it was real.
She touched the land, and it felt like soil.
She touched the sea, and it was indeed wet with water.
Then the world collapsed and reford once again.
This ti, it created a portrait of a doll-like beauty, who was looking back at Lucy, making the latter cover her mouth as tears once again threaten to fall from her eyes.
The portrait in front of her made from different elents looked very much like a younger version of her sister.
Lucy didn't know if she was dreaming or not, but everything that she was seeing was so unbelievable that only a dream could make it possible.
"Luna," Lux said with a gentle look on his face. "Although you might not believe it, your sister currently lives in the sa world that I do. Even from far away, she still thinks of you. "
The Half-Elf then raised his hand, making Aina's portrait disappear.
"Do you want to hear more stories about your sister?" Lux asked.
Luna didn't answer right away.
Instead, she pinched herself, making her face wince in pain.
"I'm not dreaming, right?" Luna asked.
"Actually, I want to ask you the sa question," Lux replied. "Am I dreaming? Because it is impossible for to be here on Earth."
At that mont, Luna's phone rang, disrupting their conversation.
"Hello?" Luna said as she picked up the phone.
"Luna, where are you? I want to talk about your next project."
"Sorry, Manager," Luna replied. "Please cancel it for now. I want to take a leave for a week. I don't want to be bothered during that ti."
"W-What? This Project is the one you always wanted. How ca—"
Luna decisively ended the call and turned off her phone. Right now, nothing was more important than hearing what Lux was going to say.
Although she found his words and magic unbelievable, she decided to accept it for now and hear stories about her sister.
The death of her sibling had caused her endless grief and pain. Although it had been many years since Aina died, she still hadn't forgotten her.
Luna loved her sister so much and even prayed that if there was an afterlife, she hoped that they would beco sisters again in that lifeti.
"I don't know if we're both dreaming," Luna said after a minute of silence. "But I'd like to hear more about my sister. Please, tell everything that you know."
The Half-Elf nodded and began his tale.
A story that made the popular Idol montarily forget about the Big Project that she canceled, despite wanting to get it for the past three years of her career.
