Chapter 193 Memories 1

"Sylphy… I… Okay, fine… You win- Eh? What is this?" she asked.

Alice had given up at the end to my proposal. I wanted to find a way to one day bring her outside, perhaps if I find the knowledge that the Elves have about the Spirits, and more… there could be a way to create some sort of Avatar she could have in the outside of my soul.

But then, as I hugged her, a sudden river of golden light came out of my soul, no- many of them, and they all began to converge into Alice, fusing with her.

"W-What is happening right now?!" she asked.

"I-I have no idea!" I said.

"Uwaaah!"

"Aaaahhh!"

FLASH!

We suddenly felt as if our souls came closer, closer than any time before. What was this? It felt…

Wait, I remember this feeling.

This feeling… it is the same I felt when I made a Familiar Contract with Furoh.

It felt as if our souls momentarily came together as one, our souls, our psyches all entangled with one another.

It was a beautiful thing, but I never thought this would happen with Alice, mostly because I thought we had already done some contract.

I thought the System did something like an automatic contract with the wielder, right?

But that didn't seem to be the case. And this entire time I had Alice within me… We never truly had a contract? So she was never a Familiar, nor my Spirit as I thought…

But now… it was different… It felt as if she was with me more than ever before.

It felt as if she was embracing me in a tight hug, and it felt so good, so nice, so fluffy, I had never felt such a nice hug before in my life except from my father and my mother… and maybe Aquarina.

It was an all-encompassing bright white light, which was so warm and comforting it made me want to sleep even as I was already sleeping.

And I heard Alice's voice. She was afraid, she didn't knew what was happening. I was also quite afraid. But I think this is the first time that Alice was truly afraid of something she couldn't fully understand.

I hugged her tightly, I don't know how to hug her even, but I hugged her warmth, her light, and I tried to keep her with me, to not make her feel afraid of this small ritual.

"I think you're becoming my true Familiar now, Alice… Calm down, and stay with me…" I said.

"S-Sylphy… F-Familiar me? I thought I was already one? T-This is…" she said.

"Don't worry, it is nothing painful, just… relax… Ah, here it comes…" I said.

"What does it comes?" she asked.

"The memories… forming a pact with someone and making them your familiar makes it so both sides learn from the other's past, their memories, emotions, their innermost secrets are shared…" I said.

"T-That's…" she muttered.

"Endure it for a bit with me… Let's get through this together." I said.

"Ahhh… O-Okay… Please… Don't stop holding me… Don't let me go…." She said.

"I will not… I would never let you go…" I said.

FLASH!

Another flash of bright light encompassed my sight, as I ended finding myself elsewhere.

There was pure whiteness everywhere, and everything was dead silent

What is this place?

Are these the memories of Alice? Perhaps before coming with me?

Suddenly, I saw a large hand, the hand of a tall man made of bright white and yellow light wearing a long toga, with a long beard and hair, and flashy light-colored eyes.

His enormous hands were like the hands of an artisan, wonderfully working in something with utmost care.

He was somehow generating sparks with his very hands, each spark converged together into building something that resembled a fabric, and this fabric… was me? This was Alice back then?

The man wasn't doing this without guidance, there was somebody else at his side, which I had not seen before. It resembled… it had the faint appearance of a woman, standing up right behind him.

She seemed dignified, with long white hair, shiny yellow-gold eyes, and a long white dress. She seemed to be supervising him.

"You're doing it good; this is quite a good one for your first try. Continue imbuing the Divine Runes together, and don't let them fall apart, it is very important that you're careful in this process, it costs us a lot of energy to make a System Runic Body, so don't waste this precious energy." Said the woman.

"Yes." Said the man, slowly making Alice, bit by bit…

So it was like this. She was birthed like this? What an odd way to come to life. But I suppose it was to be expected seeing how she was supposedly made by this very god, this god that… accidentally reincarnated me.

Apparently, if I recall correctly, I ended being dragged instead of somebody else from "Earth Japan" because I had an even higher Positive Karma Count than him… So I ended in this situation at the end.

But it is not like I have not enjoyed the mistake of this man, despite all the bad things, I have also gone through various nice things in this new life… and I am way too attached to everyone now to even want to go elsewhere and reincarnate into somebody randomly…

However, as the man slowly build up Alice, something went wrong.

SPARK!

"Ah!"

The man felt a bit of pain on his hands, as he moved them back, leaving Alice over the table, she suddenly began to malfunction, all the runes in her body that were carefully aligned began to mix together, and everything began to feel chaotic all around her entire body.

"What have you done?! You were doing it so well! You ended adding too much Divine Power into that one Rune and ruined the entire circuit…" sighed the woman, waving her hand, she suddenly grabbed Alice.

"Your first failure, I guess." She said.
