Chapter 76: Who was I?

The moment I opened my eyes, I found myself in an unfamiliar place, surrounded by strangers.

It hit me at that moment that I was back in a dream.

A huge crowd was gathered around me; some were crying, some smiled. A beautiful girl was hugging my body, and I could not see her face, but I could hear her sobbing voice.

I heard the girl ask, "Will you return?". But why did it sound so familiar?

"Don't worry, it will only be a matter of time. I will be back and would take you with me. Don't be sad." I patted her back as my body responded to her question.

I couldn't process. What is happening? Where am I?

A few seconds later, those buildings snatched my attention. I had seen them somewhere before, but suddenly, I realized, they were the same buildings I saw in that isolated space.

"Why am I here?" I was really shocked.

Is the GOD in question was me from the past life? 

Suddenly, everything went black, and I stood in a blank space with a big bright ball in the middle that was twice the size of a basketball.

"Why am I back here again?" I wondered as I stared at the ball.

Eve's voice echoed behind me as she said, "Host body has been undergoing fundamental changes. You were passed out in the real world.".

As I turned around, I saw Eve standing at a distance. Her face was the same as Lucia's. It was only her emotionless expression that made her stand out.

"Had you seen that dream?" I asked, approaching her.

"Yes Host," Eve said emotionlessly as she stared at me.

Have you seen those buildings in the dream? Are they not similar to the buildings at the place where I am training these days?"

"I found eighty percent of the similarities after matching the structure of the buildings," she said emotionlessly.

As I turned around to stare at the bright ball, I realized my life had been playing jokes on me these last few days.

"Yet I still don't know who I was in my past life. But maybe I was these people's ancestor," I told myself as I approached the ball.

However, I could not touch it because there seemed to be a shield surrounding it.

My eyes caught a peculiar look on Eve's face as I turned to look at her.

Before I could ask anything, the world faded away, and blackness surrounded me.

Opening my eyes, I saw Diana in front of me, with Amelia and Granny next to her.

I grunted softly as I tried to get up.

I felt tired when I sat up. Suddenly, I realized that my body had changed significantly.

I felt that I was bigger than before. At that moment, I noticed my hands. Each one was covered with golden hairs.

"What the fuck happened?" I exclaimed as I looked down to see both of my hands were covered in hair.

The giggles from Amelia and Diana were audible. I knew they were laughing at my condition.

What about my face? That was the only thing I was proud of.

When I touched my face, I found nothing different, but my hair had grown almost to the waist.

I didn't realize my body would change this much. 

"How long had I been unconscious?" I asked the ladies in front of me.

'You've been passed out for two days,' Amelia replied.

What? Two days. It only seems like an hour has passed, but it had been two days?

My only concern is my body. It feels bigger now.

The moment I rose, I knew what I thought was right. I think I am at least half a foot taller than I used to be, and my body has become bulkier.

I immediately pulled out the mirror from the inventory that I had purchased in the city. I realized I couldn't always find a river to see my face in the jungle. It proved very useful indeed.

Well anyway, Amelia already knew I had storage space, so revealing it to everyone didn't seem odd to me.

It shocked me when I saw myself in the mirror.

I was six and a half feet tall, had a broad chest, and had a ripped body packed with muscle. As I was bare-chested, I noticed slight golden hairs on my chest. With the waist-length hair, my face appeared more devilish.

A GOD is standing right in front of me. 

As I looked at myself, I thought that I looked too good to be true.

Amelia and Diana were laughing at my antics when I turned around.

Those people don't understand. I can compromise with nearly anything, except my looks.

The issue was that I didn't have any clothes to wear, as everything I owned would no longer fit. The pants I am wearing are too tight. However, I brought some jogging pants that are more stretchable and that I can wear. Sadly, I own nothing for a shirt.

Let's put that aside. I felt Power surge through me. Eve told me that every attribute would increase by 30 points. I will check on it later once I get used to my body.

"How do you feel?" Amelia asked me.

"Great and thank you," I replied and continued,

"I'm wondering what time would be best to leave." 

While I didn't mention my dream to her, when I know more about it in the future, I can ask her about it.

I now understand why I felt at home in the village. My past is tied to it.

"Oh, so you want to leave us so quickly?" Amelia laughed.

"Don't misunderstand me, I just wanted to test myself," I said shook as my head in denial.

"Wait for today. You can leave tomorrow," she said.

"Now I'm going to block all memories of this village so that nobody ever learns about it," she said after a moment.

However, I had a fear that she would find out about my past. At that moment, Eve's voice rose in my head.

"You need not worry about that. She could not access your memories."

I exhaled as she touched my head with her hand.
