While Jake was grinding and fighting against the electric avians, Louise's group was returning ho after completing the undead trents' dungeon. They were a bit tired since the enemies were a bit troubleso with their skills. Usually, a large group would be necessary to deal with the boss and its skills, which caused a lot of damage in the area. Still, they managed to finish the big tree before it could explode. They had heard that the next mission would be difficult too because the mummies could use curses, and that kind of negative effect was really troubleso. Regardless, they won and they gained a lot of experience, so all of the problem that they had was worth it.
"Hah… I want to take a break," Lana said after letting a weird sound mixed with a sigh. "Do you guys want to return ho for a bit? All this fighting is completely wearing out."
"That sounds like a good idea, but things seem to be getting a bit… more darker around," Louise said while showing a complicated expression. I think that the guild master is about to tell us sothing big and that we should be prepared for it."
"The mbers of other guilds seem more tense as well… like they had been warned of sothing not too clear," Karina said.
"Do you think that mister Jake knows anything?" Julian asked.
"Mister Jake… that sounds so weird," Lana frowned. "Regardless, he didn't have a single bit since we ca here. He is the sa bloodthirsty, self-centered moron that he has always been. I don't think he knows anything… if he had heard anything weird, he probably would have said: so what?"
"You two really are like water and oil…" Karina said.
After they crossed the gates of the guild, the group noticed that everyone was gathering at the center of the place. The guards also warned them to stay for the guild master's announcent. Frederick was already ready, but it seed that Luke wasn't around, and he always was when sothing important was about to be told by the leader of the guild. Naturally, that made them frown. After a couple more minutes, the remaining mbers of the guild arrived, and then Frederick started his announcent.
"Thank you for your hard work, as usual, everyone," Frederick said. "Today… I need to tell you sothing complicated. I will try to be clear as possible to avoid problems and panic, but first of all, you need to know that this kind of information can't be spread. Other guild masters and I learned sothing recently, and we decided to share it with you. Still, they will do it in their own way according to what is best for their guilds, so talking about it might create more problems than solve it."
Louise, Lana, Karina, and Julian looked at each other while frowning. The guild master sure was being weird… it wasn't like he didn't say difficult things before, but this ti he was acting pretty suspiciously.
"In a few days, sothing will happen, sothing that we call the awakening," Frederick said. "All of you have innate skills. The guild masters have as well. Until now, we didn't understand why we had those. We assud that it was because we had the potential or to help us pass the tutorial. However, that isn't the case… it seems that these innate skills are related to this universe. Apparently, this universe isn't the sa as our own. That being said, we didn't have a link in this one, so we obtained one that granted our existence after passing the tutorial. It isn't sothing certain, but there is a chance that our bodies here belonged to our doppelgangers in this universe, and these skills belonged to them… there is a chance that our mories will rge with the mories sealed in these bodies."
When Frederick finished that, everyone looked speechless. Never ntion the idea that a ga could be connected to reality, but connected to another universe? That was simply insane… their avatars beca their real bodies. Still, those real bodies belonged to their versions in another universe? That was hard to grasp as trying to understand the interior of a black hole. Frederick imagined that his guild mbers would panic, but they simply didn't know how to react to all that.
"Although there are many uncertain things about this, we are almost certain that this won't force us to beco sothing else," Frederick said. "This body isn't only compatible with us, and they belonged to soone who was exactly like us. So, the chances that we are only going to obtain their knowledge without any drawbacks are pretty high. With that being said, there is no reason to panic."
Those managed to calm down and analyze those words. It was pretty clear that Frederick was just trying to do so damage control. He didn't explain everything, and he probably knew more, but that would only add uncertainty to the whole situation. Still, it was evident that getting those bodies' mories wouldn't be so easy and convenient. Besides, so also wondered what happened to their bodies while they weren't on Earth. Those who managed to return once were even more confused since they couldn't use their powers, but ti was still flowing there normally.
"Difficult tis are ahead of us, but if we stay strong together, we will surpass these hard tis," Frederick said. "For the ti being, the groups of our guilds won't receive any orders, so feel free to use this chance to rest or do what you want without worries. That is all."
Frederick left the platform, and the people looked at each other without knowing what to do. That seed like a terrible ti to give them the free reins. Louise and the others didn't know what to do either, and things only got more complicated when Frederick approached them.
"We need to talk," Frederick said. "Touch my shoulders, and I will choose your next mission."
