Chapter 58: The Village History(I)

As Amelia shook her head and moved her eyes to me, she asked, "What do you think, why are we living like this now, instead we could live in the outside world, right?"

Rather than responding, I stared at her and waited for her to speak.

After some time, she said, "What do you think will happen if they find out that you are special? You can help others to become powerful?"

I nodded in agreement with what she said.

"So now you understand, why are we living like this, right?" She asked.

I looked around for a place to sit and said, "Yes, please go ahead." I expect this conversation to last a while.

After looking at me for a while, as if pondering whether to tell me or not, she eventually spoke."Now, you would think, what's so special about us, right?" She asked.

I nodded in response to her question.

"Do you know, who is the most powerful person in this world?" She again asked me the question.

"As far as I know, maybe there's a higher power than a Supreme level power being?" I replied.

After nodding at me, she said, "Yes, as per the knowledge of this world, those are the most powerful beings." She paused for a moment before continuing.

"How about I told you, the key to their evolution is us? Would you believe me?" she asked, staring at me with a skeptic's gaze.

I nodded at her and said, "I would believe you".

"The things that have happened to me the last few days alone are unimaginable, so what does it matter whether she is telling the truth?" I thought to myself, but I didn't let my feelings show on my face.

Her suspicious face changed into a question after a moment of silence: "Do you believe me so easily?"

"You don't have any other reason to live in the jungle, do you?" I asked her.

She nodded at me and said, "Good, now you would think how are we the key to their evolution right?"

As I nodded at her, I thought to myself, "I thought nothing. I'm just here to hear your story,"

Her gaze trailed off, then she said: "There was a time when we were a force to be reckoned with."

"We were so powerful that we had the most powerful beings among us," she sighed and closed her eyes.

"But it all changed one day", I can hear the pain in her voice.

"Amelia, are you here?" I suddenly heard a voice.

I turned to see a man approaching us. I looked at him and found him to be a normal human, not as handsome as me, but quite tall, almost as tall as me.

Suddenly, he drew closer to me and started staring at me.

My body was filled with goosebumps when he stared at me as if he was going to eat me alive.

He then turned to face Amelia and said," Who is he?"

"It's none of your business, you do your job.", Amelia glared at him.

He scoffed at me and walked away. From the way it looked, he was jealous of me, and I can understand that anyone would be jealous of my handsomeness.

Seeing Amelia, I shook my head and asked, "What is his problem?"

"Don't mind him, anyway, I'll show you your place for the day," she said, turning around and leading me to one hut.

A hut made of wood, enough for a single person to stay.

"This is your place," she said and turned away to leave.

"Hold on!" I shouted. I reached out to hold her hand, but I stopped, knowing that she was more powerful than me, and what if she didn't like it?

Her eyes were focused on me when she turned around.

"Why are you treating me so differently? We just met accidentally. You would have killed me for discovering you, right?" I asked her. The way in which I am being treated confused me.

"I asked you before. Do you think you met me by mistake?" she smirked.

My jaw dropped when she said that. I forgot when she said that before.

"Were you waiting for me, naked?" I asked her, then again shut my mouth. Why do I speak before thinking?

Once more, her face changed, but she calmed herself and said, "Yes, I was waiting for you, but you accidentally encountered me while I was naked."

I nodded at her and waited for her answer.

"As per the prediction, I was supposed to meet the one who would lead us back to our former glory?" she said with a sigh.

Hearing her, my eyes grew wide.

"Now, what the fuck is this?"
