Chapter 207 207: Back To My World



Adrian's words did not make sense to Keith at first.

Or rather, they made too much sense to him. He was afraid that Adrian had seen something he should not have. And now that was going to bite Keith in the back.

"I know you were that black-haired man I met in the ally before. You were also the one who threw Veera at me. I know it all so you don't need to put up a guard in front of me."

Adrian assured Keith with a determined expression. Adrian looked like a saint who had figured out something important in his life.

"I don't know what you are talking about. I did not do you any favors."

Keith quickly denied doing anything. He had maintained a perfect mask until now. He could not afford to break it and let his true self out now.

"Hmm, if you are unable to tell me about your real self, then I will not ask you anymore. I know that people have the circumstances that bind them. Instead, I wanted to ask you - do you want to go home?"

Keith jerked and instantly looked behind.

The shadows in the room made Adrian's face look darker. For a solid minute, Keith was sure that he had heard Adrian wrong.

His desire to go back home was still strong. Bu Keith had been here in this world for too long. He had given up his desire to go home.

Up until now, he had no way to even go home.

But Adrian suddenly ignited his desires with his words.

"I can go home? You are saying that there is a way for me to go home?"

For the first time, Keith broke character. His indifference was replaced with desperation and he quickly held Adrian's hand.

Adrian looked a little flushed after he got all that attention. He quickly looked away so that he did not have to face this hopeful look Keith was shooting him.

"Well, there is a way for you to go home if you want to. That's what Veera is saying. But she also said that you will not be able to come back."

Keith paused a little bit at the news. Suddenly, he did not want to go back home as desperately as before.

But still, he had to try heading back.

The more he thought about his real-world self, the more Keith realized that he could not remember things about himself.

But his instincts told him that he had been happy in his original life. And Keith wanted that life back for himself.

"I don't care if I cannot come back here. What do I need to do to go home?"

Adrian looked away from Keith and looked at the goddess. Veera had a determined expression on her face before she pointed toward the mother's pearl.

"She wants you to use the mother's pearl and open a gateway to your world. Once you pass, anything related to this world will be locked away in your memory."

Keith gulped as he looked down at the pearl in his hand. It was his last lifeline and one thing that was keeping him grounded.I think you should take a look at

But he did not know how to use this pearl.

As a result, he tried the one thing that had always worked for him. He sent his energy into the pearl and waited for it to respond.

The pearl responded to him and Keith felt his body sucking up magic from his surroundings.

"I will ask you one last time. You want to go back home, right? That is your wish?"

Adrian looked sober and his voice was tense. But despite how he spoke, his eyes looked lonely. Keith felt sorry for leaving Adrian in such a tough situation.

But he could not deal with this god-infested world any longer.

"I am sure things will be alright. Even if I forget this world, it will be alright."

Keith assured Adrian and he finally felt a door open inside him.

It was a feeling like the one he had felt when he had been transported to this world. And finally, Keith was going back home.

"Have a safe future and stress-free life."

It was sad how Adrian was the only person there to bid Keith goodbye.

The goddess of fate, Veera tried to touch Keith one last time. She wanted to pass on her blessing to him and prepare him for the new journey he was setting off on. 

But as soon as the goddess touched Keith, her magic reacted as well and she was sucked into his world as well.

"Hey, what are you both doing? Veera, what did you…."

Adrian realized too late that something was wrong. By then, Veera had been sucked into the portal with Keith and had disappeared from this world.

On the other side of the portal, Keith stood on a sidewalk with people all around him. He could not remember what he had been doing.

But he did feel as if there was a presence at his side which he was supposed to know about. 

And that presence was urging him to do something he did not want to do.

Since Keith could not remember anything, he decided not to pay attention to what was going on around him and quickly make his way back to his daily life.

He needed to report for work before he was fired. And he also needed to prepare a wedding gift for his friend.

His weird feelings could wait for Keith to straighten his life out. He was too busy with his current lifestyle to pay attention to anything else.

And oh well, even if he was not. Keith hated troublesome things the most. He did not want to venture into anything that could cause him trouble.

The presence behind Keith tried to nag him into going in the opposite direction he was walking into. But Keith ignored it with a great deal of patience. He had no time for feelings since life was busy for him.
