Deranged Writer's Afterword

" Transmigration ?...", Belial muttered out deep in thought, while stroking his chin.

" Well...I think it's rubbish.", Bal says immediately.

" Why ?", I ask.

Bal smiles at me, shaking his head,

" Adam...this world was built on a set of rigid rules....transmigration or the possession of another body goes against this. Therefore transmigration is nothing but a fool's dream."

Well, that does make sense...but Dina was living proof that transmigration did exist even if it did go against certain 'rules'.

" I also have the same opinion.", Belial says confidently.

I nod my head and wait for the others to think of an answer.

Helmer raises his hand and looks at me expectantly,

.....

Is he waiting for my permission to speak or something ?

...

" Helmer ?"

Helmer nods and says,

" Well.....I don't know what transmigration is."

" Uh...okay ?", I reply confused.

" I don't think transmigration exists.", Kirsi says after smacking Helmer on the head.

I nod my head, internally sighing as this entire conversation was fucking useless.

" I think it does exist....",

Finally....

I look at Aurora, who started frowning as soon as she felt my gaze....our last encounter wasn't exactly that good.

I might have humiliated her a little bit...I made a poor joke about her ancestral roots, in the novel she hated the people who made fun of her, I actually introduced Aurora in the novel when she was killing someone for making fun of her just like I did that day....

Why did I make fun when I knew the consequences of offending her...I don't exactly remember but I'm sure I had my reasons....

" So...do you know how to uh....sent back the 'transmigrated soul' to it's original home ?"

Silence reigned the throne room as everyone waited for Aurora's answer.

" Before I answer your question, tell me the reason why you....a mere human is interested in something as ethereal as 'transmigration' ?", she says looking down on me..

" Aurora...please don't disrespect our guest.", Belial says while sighing.

" Oh....no, it's completely fine sir.", I say in response and try to think of an appropriate answer.

" Well.....an acquaintance of mine claims to have met someone who apparently 'transmigrated' here....so I just wanted to uh....you know learn if he was a threat or not..."

I don't think I'm making much sense here, maybe I should have thought this through...

" I see...", Aurora says seemingly believing me.

" Before going into the mechanics of transmigration....are you clear with what exactly 'transmigration' is ?"

I shake my head and Aurora sighs,

" Well....think of migration that we're all familiar with, when winter approaches some special birds 'migrate' to warmer places.....transmigration is basically the same thing but on a much more higher and complex level."

That's a very weird comparison, but I don't make any unnecessary comments and listen as Aurora continued with her explanation.

" But transmigration doesn't just happen out of the blue...as for all events it needs a catalyst. In the case of the birds, the cold weather acted as a catalyst for their migration....usually in cases of transmigration some kind of 'god' or ancient power acts as a catalyst. Did your friend say anything about their catalyst ?"

...

Is it just me or is Aurora's eyes shining ?

" No...he didn't mention anything about a catalyst."

I see disappointment in Aurora's eyes...

" If I may....how do you so much about such an obscure event like 'transmigration'...Miss Aurora ?"

" Tha-"

Aurora begins to answer but is interrupted by laughter,

" Hahahahahah"

It was once again...Helmer but the others...even Belial had a small smile on their faces.

Seeing that I was confused Helmer says,

" She's addicted to those novels that you humans write....she's probably talking about what she has read so far, human.....HAhahHhahHHA.", Helmer says and then proceeds to laugh like a maniac..

.....

So...this trip was a complete waste of time....

'Screech'

Aurora takes out her spear and pounces on Helmer in an attempt to kill him, her face was beet red.

" I'm not an addict !!", she proclaimed while trying to kill Helmer.

' Nobody called you an addict though....', I thought tired.

" ENOUGH.", Belial says instantly stopping all the commotion occurring within the throne room.

" Stop embarrassing yourselves in front of out guest....and Adam, there is no such thing as 'transmigration'...it's a concept that is strictly fictional...so this 'friend' of yours is probably lying.."

How impressive...in a single moment he admonished his subordinates for their lack of respect and gave me an answer to my problem.

Even though his answer was shitty....it's still somewhat impressive.

" Adam...it's good to see you again.", Victoria says slowly sipping on her soup.

I was currently having dinner with the Crowcolt family.

Belial sat at the front completely immersed in his soup, the regality with which he carried himself had also disappeared....he just looked like a wholesome grandpa now.

Tania made herself comfortable in his lap, while he fed her occasionally.

Tania's grown a little bigger and stronger as well, my body still feels sore from the hug she gave me earlier.

" It's good to see you as well, Miss Victoria.", I say trying to calm my heart which would pound faster every time I looked at Victoria...but I'm more or less used to this strange feeling now.

" You look beautiful as always.."

.....

Why would I say that ?

God...I want to kill myself.

Victoria chuckled upon hearing me and says,

" Tha-"

" TIANA !"

Belial interrupted her, the both of us turn around to find Tiana bleeding from her nose..

Tiana's eyes were fixed on me as she says,

" I don't feel so good..."

After which, her head slumps down as she fainted.
