Chapter 55 World Of Memories: Lilith Nyx Shyama (1)
Chapter 55 World Of Memories: Lilith Nyx Shyama (1)
?At the moment Lilith heard the prompt mentioning her to enter the world of memories, Lyan heard a different prompt inside his head as well.
<The [Ritual of Love] with the spirit of chaos had been detected. The connection will now be linked>
<The requirements for several additional features of the [Grimoire of Summoning: Creatures of Love] have been fulfilled>
<Giving the first reward: Access to the world of memories: [Lilith Nyx Shyama]>
<Entering the world of memories: [Lilith Nyx Shyama]>
(World of memories?) (Lyan)
Lyan wondered to himself, and after he blinked, suddenly the scenery around him changed.
Crowded streets, laughing voices of children, and houses and buildings that seem to be older than the buildings ha seen in the city of Arkansas.
"Where am I...?" Lyan uttered to himself.
Suddenly, a blue screen appeared before him.
"Hm?" Lyan narrowed his eyes as he focus on the words written on it.
[The host is currently in the world and era where the [Spirit of Chaos: Lilith Nyx Shayma] used to live]
[Everything in this world is alive and is capable of responding to the host's behavior. But every choice and change the host made in this world will not affect what the future holds]
[The host is capable of summoning all of his summonable monsters and utilizing his full strength in this world. But the contracted spirits are not summonable in this world]
[The summonable monsters could accumulate experiences and grow in this world. The [Ritual of Love] done in this world could also produce a summonable monster of the grimoire of summoning]
[The host is capable of bringing back any items he's directly touching to the real world]
[The total duration for the host to stay inside the world of memories is [48 hours]. The host is capable of returning faster by commanding the summoning grimoire, and the remaining hours will be accumulated for the next allowed access]
[The maximum amount of time of one attempt in the world of memories is [4 Hours]. The remaining hours will be saved for the next allowed access]
Suddenly, the blue screen disappeared from Lyan's sight after he finished reading it, and the countdown that started at 04:00:00 appeared in the corner of Lyan's eyes.
"I see..." Lyan processed the words he just read from the blue screen.
"So this is like a game world designed according to Lilith's memories, huh..." (Lyan)
"It mentioned that the monsters could accumulate experiences, it means that I could make them similar to leveling up here? And the [Ritual of Love] done here could also make me get a summonable monster, huh..." (Lyan)
"And more importantly... I can bring back anything that I can touch directly..." (Lyan)
Lyan focused on the statement that allowed him to bring back anything that he can touch directly.
(It means that I could get anything that I want from this world back, right? Then if I got a sack filled with golds, I would be able to return and bring it back as well!? Damn! This is getting exciting!) (Lyan)
Lyan got excited, thinking that he could do anything he want in this world. Not to mention that this time, there are no spectators that are looking at what he's doing from inside his mind.
(I can't summon the contracted spirits, but it seems that I could still use the mana that I got from them. I could still feel their mana that I got before...) (Lyan)
"Now... I've been wondering for a while now. I'm in the middle of a crowded street, but no one even glances at me. Am I invisible?" (Lyan)
Suddenly, a bigger blue screen than before appeared before him.
[Choosing random role for the host...]
*Ding!*
[Castle Guard!]
*Whoosh!*
The scenery blurred, and Lyan suddenly stands at the gate of a castle.
"T-This is...?" (Lyan)
Once again, the blue screen appeared before Lyan.
[Castle Guard.
You are one of the castle guards that falls directly under the rule of the Arzentine Kingdom's queen. Your shift of duty is from 06:00 AM to 14:00 PM. The queen has considerable trust in you, and might ask you to do some personal errands outside your shift.
The job of a castle guard is to patrol around the castle for the duration of the shift, and eliminate any unwanted intruders that entered the castle]
(I see... So I'm going to be playing a role here, huh...) (Lyan)
[The rule of the world of memories:
1. If the host died, the world will restart to the beginning.
2. The second time the host entered the world of memories, the host will continue where he left at the first time.
3. If the owner of the memory world died, the world will restart to the beginning.
4. The longer the host finished the [Hidden Quest], the fewer the reward of finishing the quest will be given]
(A hidden quest!? A reward!? It means that I'll be getting something if I complete whatever quest the summoning grimoire gave me, right?) (Lyan)
"Hm..." Lyan analyzed the rules of the world that are written on the blue screen.
(So in order to prevent the world from restarting, I'm going to need to prevent Lilith from dying here, huh...) (Lyan)
"Hey! Lyan! It's time for you to patrol around!" A female voice entered Lyan's ears.
Lyan turns his back, and saw a blonde woman clad in full armor walking toward him.
(She is...?) (Lyan)
As Lyan wondered what he should respond to her with, the blue screen appeared beside the woman.
[Auretta Viltiana (Castle Guards Captain)
A beautiful female guard serving directly under the queen of the Arzentine kingdom. She is the superior of the castle guard, Lyan, and the feared immovable fortress of the castle.
Affection rate: 50% (Acquantance)]
(This is... Character information! Just like a game! So she's the captain...) (Lyan)
"Yes, captain," Lyan replied with a small bow of his head, and went straight to the hall where the captain of the castle guards had just come from.
(So this is the route of the patrol, huh...) (Lyan)
Lyan stared at the blue screen before him that is showing the layout of the whole castle. There are yellow lines that are highlighted by the map, Lyan could zoom in and zoom out the map, and there is also a blue dot that seems to be showing his position.
(This truly is a game...) (Lyan)
Lyan slowly followed the route of patrol and observes the surroundings.
The castle is well-protected. The design of the castle is great and very secure, and the faces of the maids and servants Lyan encountered along his patrol have smiles all over their faces.
(It seems that the ruler of this castle is a great person) (Lyan)
Lyan holds the spear in his hand and continues to walk. He's wearing full armor befitting a castle guard of the royal castle of a kingdom, and a high-quality spear that could pierce a person wearing full armor easily.
Along the way, Lyan didn't just aimlessly patrol and observe the surroundings like he was sightseeing. He's pondering his plans on this [World of Memories].
(The main problem is how to find Lilith and how to indirectly observe and protect her, I guess. It might be troublesome since I know close to nothing about this place. This might be years before the present time in the Arkansas city. I guess for now, what I needed the most is information, huh... Oh yeah, I almost forgot) (Lyan)
Lyan stopped at a certain part of the castle walls that are desolated from people, and summon his monster.
"Come, [Shadow Hobgoblin], [Papilio Slime], [Galewing Butterfly]!" (Lyan)
Answering to his call, the three monsters appeared before him. The reason why Lyan didn't summon the Rock Golem as well is because the size of the Rock Golem that would be difficult to hide and pass the walls.
"Feel free to wander where you want to go. Go to the forest, kill and devour the monsters and magic beasts you found there, and have fun as you want. You too, Hobu. But I might need your help suddenly, so be ready, okay?" (Lyan)
The three monsters replied with an intelligent nod before the three of them left the castle. Since the Papilio Slime and the Galewing Butterfly are capable of using high-leveled illusion magic just like him, the three of them left the castle without getting noticed rather easily.
Since Lyan could observe them whenever he wants and contact them whenever he wants, he thought that letting them out to freely do whatever they want might be good. The Papilio Slime and the Galewing Butterfly must be bored since they got cooped inside the House of Roses all the time.
(I can use the Galewing Butterfly to observe from the skies, the Papilio Slime also could fly, and when she is capable of splitting herself, I would be able to observe lots of things at the same time by taking advantage of that ability of hers, while Hobu will continue to be my personal shadow and do some errands for me) (Lyan)
After summoning the three of them, there are three statuses appeared at the top left of his vision.
[Hobu (Shadow Hobgoblin)
Level: 12
HP: 100%/100%]
[Pilia (Papilio Slime)
Level: 1
HP: 100%/100%]
[Galia (Galewing Butterfly)
Level: 1
HP: 100%/100%]
[Rock Golem]
Level: 1
HP: 100%/100%]
(This is getting more and more like a game! I'm excited!!) (Lyan)
