Chapter 36

When Milica lived on the continent of Magelia, she had heard legends about how powerful beings from other worlds sometimes invaded their world. Usually, their appearance brought with it destruction and misfortune.

However, looking at Idan and Arabel, who were embarrassed and amused her, she could not imagine that they could become the source of such disasters. After all, they were too young and weak. Perhaps in the future, when they grew up, they would cause a lot of problems, but that didn't bother her now.

"Nemo has a lot of secrets, most of which he doesn't know about himself. Before he got into Limbo, he encountered something that caused him terrible injuries that disfigured his body. Because of these injuries, he lost his right arm, the ability to speak, and almost all of his memories," the Milica felt sorry for Nemo.

No matter how much Milica tried to help Nemo with his injuries, her current Limbo limitations kept her down. She wasn't sure if she could help him even if there were no such restrictions. After all, she had a rough idea of the source of Nemo's injury.

Idan and Arabel were somewhat puzzled. Why did Milica, who was sure that they would find a way out, suddenly start talking about Nemo? However, they didn't mind learning something new about their savior.

"If he doesn't remember anything, then how is he..." Arabel didn't know how to express her thoughts. Nemo, whom she had seen earlier in the forest, did not give the impression of a man who had lost all his memories.

"How can he fight and act like this?" Milica continued Arabel's question, and Arabel just nodded, agreeing with her.

"I found him myself and checked his injuries. Memory is a complicated thing. Usually, when a person loses his memory, he does not forget everything completely. Usually, all the memories are deep inside his mind. To get them back, you need to fulfill certain conditions or stimulate the patient to remember.

But with Nemo, it's different. His injury is magical in nature, and this magic has completely erased his memories. No matter what we do, we can't bring back something that doesn't exist anymore."

"Magic erased his memories, but not his inner self and how he perceives the world around him. He did not become a mentally retarded or helpless child who knows nothing. No, he is well aware of reality. All his abilities are just muscle memory and instincts, which he developed very quickly. Because of his inability to speak, I gave him the temporary name Nemo because he couldn't remember his real name.

"How long ago did he end up in Limbo?" asked Idan.

"I roughly understand what you want to know. I found him about a month ago, but I don't know the exact time he entered Limbo. He doesn't remember anything himself. And you can be sure, I've personally checked on his condition, and he hasn't assimilated into Limbo yet. Unlike Eulalia, who has been in Limbo for a long time, and I had to step in to prevent her from becoming a part of this place," Milica replied.

All this time, Eulalia just listened, not interfering in their conversation. Thanks to this, she learned a lot of new things that she hadn't known before. She was very grateful to her mentor. Without her intervention, she would have already become part of Limbo and would not have been able to leave it even if they had found a way out.

Besides her, the Milica was followed by several other outsiders, and, as in the case of Eulalia, she prevented Limbo's attempt to absorb them and make them his own. In this world, Milica wasn't the only one who could resist Limbo's interference. There were other powerful outsiders willing to stand up for themselves.

"Nemo intrigued me with his appearance. If it wasn't for you, I would still be hoping that he would find a way. But now that new opportunities have emerged, the chances that a way out will finally be found have increased significantly. I hope that you will be able to cooperate with Nemo and Eulalia in your search."

Idan and Arabel, after listening to Milica about Nemo and the reasons for her confidence in them, began to talk mentally. They came up with the same idea at the same time.

Even before they went downstairs, after they learned from the System that the deadline for completing their task had been halved, they talked with the System for a while and found out that they had been unconscious for seven days.

During the conversation, the System unexpectedly gave them a very unusual and, perhaps, the most important task. Unlike the others, this assignment was called a World Quest.

Ding! Due to the intrusion of the consciousness of the independent world, the System managed to obtain some information. A World Quest is given.

The first task is to find a descendant of the Rain Clan and make him your champion!

The second task is to help your champion get the key and the clue leading to one of the five "Thrones of the World Kings"

The third task is unavailable. It will be available after completing the previous two tasks

The couple was quite surprised by this unexpected quest given by the System. After that, the System went silent without providing any more additional information, leaving them to figure out the details themselves.

By then, they had no idea how to find this descendant of the so-called Rain Clan, and they were even more unaware of the information about the so-called Thrones of the World Kings.

However, after they heard Milica's story and learned some details about Nemo, they had suspicions whether he was a descendant of the Rain Clan mentioned by the System. To test his guess, Idan jokingly asked Milica, because she knew more about Nemo than anyone in this room, including Nemo himself.:

"Nemo isn't a descendant of the Rain Clan, is he?"

As soon as Idan asked this question, the atmosphere at the table instantly changed. Idan and Arabel felt the suffocating pressure that Milica brought down on them. Even Eulalia was affected by this change and, surprised by her mentor's sudden reaction, was breathing heavily.

— Where did you get this information? Milica asked in an imperious voice.

The previous relaxed atmosphere at the table was replaced by a tense one.

Idan regretted asking the question without thinking carefully. But regrets couldn't turn back time, and what had already been done couldn't be changed.
