Earth's Greatest Magus
chapter-1463

At the same time, across the galaxy.

In front of a small hut in the middle of a lush forest, a young man was lying on a tilted chair motionless. As he finally opened his eyes, a scene of green was the first to enter his sight.

The soft rustles of the surrounding leaves, the slightly damp yet refreshing breeze, the comforting warmth of the sun, and the subtle scent of nature... all these had become familiar to him. They were all he could perceive since he regained consciousness, and the addition of this scenery brought a beautiful sense of tranquility that provided a reassuring sense of security and comfort.

Still, even though so much time had passed, he could not utter a word. Every day, he could only lie there thinking to himself.

Who am I? Where am I? Why am I here?

The young man expanded his senses to absorb all the information he could on his surroundings, yet despite that, he still found it difficult to understand what had happened to him.

At this moment, he heard the low, yet crisp sound of footsteps. Looking in the sound's direction, he saw a figure walking toward him--a person, one very pleasant to look at.

"You're already awake? Good, have this today."

She called herself Silva, she has been taking care of him for as long as he can remember. Day by day, this person came and fulfilled all his needs, and every time... her actions were filled with patience and meticulousness.

Being with her, he felt as if he was only a step away from recognizing who she was. Yet every time, all their interactions became like a dream of yesterday, out of reach and forgotten like the passing breeze the next day.

Nevertheless, her arrival was always the one he looked forward to the most.

He looked at the person in front of him, trying to speak out the name at the tip of his tongue.

"...Silva"

When the word finally came out of his mouth, the young man subtly observed the young woman. Surprise flashed on her face for a brief moment before it soon turned into relief.

"Ahh, you remember my name today... That's really good, Emery..."

Emery... that name does feel personal...

He felt that that name indeed belonged to him, but... he still felt disconnected from anything related to this name. When he forced himself to remember, excruciating pain quickly rushed into his head.

Seeing the painful expression on Emery's face, Silva immediately put down the food she brought for him and supported him.

"Don't worry, Emery, take it slow... Don't force yourself."

Like that, days, weeks, and months went by. As more time passed, he felt that he was gradually able to regain his memories of the previous day, then the day before...

On this particular day, he had a different dream. A strange one... of a red-haired figure.

"Someone is looking for me... but who...?" Emery weakly muttered. Before he knew it, the dream slipped from his memories as another day went by.

This time, he was woken up by the warm touch of another person... another pleasant face, but this one was much smaller than the one he was familiar with.

"Isn't this what they call children?"

Seeing that the young man was looking at her in a daze, the silver-haired little girl pinched him.

"Uncle, doesn't this hurt? Are you... dead?" she doubtfully asked, her eyes fixed on the dazed face.

Not getting any response from the lying figure, the little girl climbed onto the young man's body and started playing with his hair.

All of a sudden, the thunderous voice of a young woman came, "Shinta! What are you doing!? Get down, now! Right away!!"

The silver-haired little girl unhappily frowned for a bit before sneering at the approaching figure. "I didn't do anything, auntie."

Seeing that Silva was clearly unconvinced, the girl ran toward the approaching figure next to the young woman. "Daddy, daddy..."

The little girl quickly jumped into the man's embrace. The man with long silver hair carried the little girl in front of him and, after comforting the little girl, turned to Silva.

"Has his condition not yet improved, sister?"

"Why did you come here, brother? And do you really have to bring her here?"

"I came because I heard you're planning to visit the wood elves... Please don't do any more stupid things, sister, just let the cube do its job."

"The Memory Puzzle...? No, it's taking too long. I can't wait that long."

"Please, sister... The wood elves are no longer as they used to be. If you really want him to recover sooner, you should bring him back to his world. At the very least, interacting with the things from his past should be able to help him."

Silva quickly refused, "No! They don't have the treatment that we can offer. If he goes, he might be stuck there for dozens of years before he can get any better. He's better off here, with us... until he's healed."

The argument stopped with the girl leaving the place and silence followed for a while, for days.

Other unfamiliar people would come to check on him and take care of him, but the silver-haired young woman did not come for quite a while.

One day, she finally came and took him away, out of the forest, into a plane out of the world, and toward a planet full of sea and white sand.

"Emery, we're back... Do you remember this place?"

On the expanse of white sand stood a small worn-out hut, where the two later stayed for days. People would occasionally come to bring things and check on his condition, and subsequently, he was slowly able to recover until he could speak a little more.

"Silva...I remember...this place"

Upon hearing the words, Silva couldn't help but get emotional. Although it was only three words, they were what she had been waiting for what felt like an eternity.

The two stayed there for weeks, and the young woman treated him with utmost care. Whenever he saw the love and attentiveness in her eyes, Emery's chest felt light and warm.

This... Is this what they call happiness?

However, their time at the worn-out hut did not last long. As he could begin to move his body and walk upon the sands with her, the young woman nodded her head as if she had come to a decision.

"I had a good time, but we must return now," the silver-haired girl said with a reluctant smile.

Those were the last words Emery heard from her before he was put back into a tube. By the time he felt something again, he had already lost his sense of time.

At this moment, a strange sensation filled his body. The energy running through his body felt familiar, and it was as if something that had long been missing was being returned to him.

As Emery felt the powerful energy rush into his chest, a few words entered his mind.

[Magus Core activated]

As soon as it happened, a memory rushed through his mind. The scenes were blurry and indistinguishable, they came and went too quickly, yet they still filled him with great sorrow. They showed the vague moment of the loss of someone he really cares about dying right in front of him.

"Master.... Master Xion... no..." The sadness was quickly replaced by deep anger, hate toward a certain wolf elder. "Lucius... you... I will come for you! You will pay for killing my master!!"
