Chapter 30: Chapter 30: The one inside the egg

Eren continued to ponder over the mysteries surrounding Elder Ren.

As he flew on the back of the Phoenix, he couldn't help but wonder why there was so little information about Elder Ren in the novel.

It felt like a deliberate omission, as if there was something important hidden about this character.

He knew that in order to uncover the truth, he needed to delve into the memory fragment he possessed.

It held the key to unlocking Elder Ren's past and understanding his true significance in this world.

"What a pity that I wasn't able to explore the library. But now I feel scared to go there."

"Is there another way for me to find out about the Memory Fragment in this world?"

The Phoenix soon reached the Mountain, assigned to Elder Ren, who was still talking to himself.

Gentle winds wrapped around Eren, sending him back to the room.

It was only when he landed inside the room that Eren came to his senses.

He looked back at the Phoenix outside.

"Thanks, little one. Have a good rest for now."

The phoenix screeched happily before flying high again, disappearing into the sky.

"She's truly like a child." Eren watched the Phoenix disappear for now.

He closed the door of the shabby house that belonged to him. This time, he didn't want to make the same mistake.

Previously, he had thought that no one could enter his house as it was at such great heights. And then Zhang Wei had arrived.

He made sure that he didn't leave the door open. If the door was closed, they had to knock at least to show respect to him.

After closing the door, he walked back to the bed.

"I have so many questions, but it looks like I can't rush things. I can only take things slowly, if I don't want to make mistakes."

He sat on the bed and opened the diary, in which he wrote everything that happened today.

A cultivator in this world could stay awake for a few days with ease. But Eren's body was weaker than even an ordinary human.

It was surprising in itself that he had managed to stay awake until the morning, despite such a stressful day.

Before sleeping, he told the Phoenix to guard the mountain and wake him up, in case someone approached him.

Fortunately, there was no disturbance during his sleep. That was, until he felt someone pull his cheeks while he was in deep sleep.

At first, Eren didn't notice it. But with time, he sensed a sharp pain on his cheeks which woke him up.

"Hmm?"

He opened his eyes, rubbing his cheeks. The pain was too real for it to be a misconception.

He abruptly sat up, wondering if someone had intruded his room. But why didn't the Phoenix inform him in that case? He wondered.

His eyes searched around the room for another person, but there was none. But instead, he saw something else.

"You are..."

Next to him, there was the empty shell of the egg, which was broken. But it wasn't broken from the outside.

Next to him, there was a small creature, which kept poking him.

The creature looked at Eren with eyes filled with innocence.

"What are you?" Eren looked at the strange creature before him.

The novel had mentioned many beasts, but the creature before him was unlike any of them.

It was like a miniature version of a girl, with angel-like wings on its back.

If she was the size of a normal human and didn't have wings, she would have looked no different than an ordinary teenager.

She had long black hair that came down to her waist. Her beautiful green eyes sparkled with curiosity.

She was wearing a black dress that looked just right for her small size. Her wings were stark white, shimmering in the dim light of the room.

The girl was only as tall as his finger. She felt so weak that he could crush it with just his thumb.
