"After my exploration of a few different worlds, I spent my time in this life building up some achievements for myself and claimed the position of the city lord as the fortune teller had instructed me. She would give me visions of what I should do to reach this stage but as of recently, she only gave me a single letter before stopping all communications. And that letter was for me to use the mythic skill stone in the event and my role shall be over." Alvan shook his head and showed them the letter.

Furrowing her brows, Shiro looked back at Alvan.

"Has she told you anything else about this coming age of demons and gods?" She asked.

"A little. You see, the visions I received are a little like cutscenes. I can watch what's going on but I cannot interact with it. I don't know what are the sources to the situation nor do I know how to avoid them. I was only told that I should just follow my path in life and deliver the stone. Of course, even if I didn't, the stone would have found its way to the rightful owner in the end. Fate works in a strange way after all."

"Yeah I get that but I mean, what did you SEE in the visions." Shiro rolled her eyes since she wanted to get as much information as she could.

"*Cough* Right, about that. In the vision, the things I saw were a little limited. But I know that there are places in the current world that would be rendered to a lifeless wasteland where undead roam freely. Humans were being used as slaves while the monster races reigned supreme. There were a few safehouses for those that are weak but it would become a fight or die situation everyday. Not only that, but each monster race will also be governed by queens that can apparently sense when their subjects are being killed. Levelling up will become much harder for humans." Alvan shook his head.

"Hmm… Were you able to see which queens were the biggest problems?" Shiro asked as it was a good time to take a headcount now. Not only that, when she made the contract with Nimue, her side of the bargain had it so that she would help Nimue get her revenge by killing some of the queens.

"Unfortunately no. There was a limit to how much I could see and the main point of visions were to convince me of what was going to happen in the future should nothing be done."

"I see… That's unfortunate. Have you been able to track down the fortune teller or did she completely cut off her connection with you?" Shiro asked.

"I wasn't able to find her after the last letter." Alvan shook his head.

Leaning back on her chair, Shiro sighed.

"You seem like you know a little about this." Keiko asked Shiro curiously. During the times that Alvan had talked about the coming age as well as other worlds, Shiro seemed to understand what he was talking about as well as some details.

"Keiko, do you remember what had happened in Mount Fuji?" Shiro asked as she turned to her.

"You mean the incident where the mountain was overrun by monsters? It was solved two months later but no one knew why." Keiko nodded.

"You see, I was there. It was also there that I met the queen of ice, Khionah. She was leading the snow woman and her goal in that place was for something called an Anchor. I don't know what it is but I think it has something to do with her crossing from her world to ours. She did say that there were other queens coming. Before I left the place, she gave me a warning about the age of demons and gods but she didn't divulge more than needed." Shiro replied as Keiko furrowed her brows.

"Hmm… why didn't she attack you? From some of the clips I've seen, she is probably more than capable of taking you out, no offence."

"I wonder about that as well. But all I know is that a new age is coming and humanity might be screwed if we don't do anything." Shiro shrugged.

"True. I'll probably go back to Tokyo and ask for a world meeting of all the highest powers. Perhaps some of the hidden sects might even show up, who knows. Of course, that can wait after meeting your party." Keiko smiled.

"Mn. Oh by the way, city lord, why did the woman want you to give away the skill stone? Did she leave any message for you in regards to that?"

"Well she did give me a message but I shall keep it to myself. She did warn me that the future may change if the reason was to be known."

Talking for a little while, both Shiro and Keiko left the room and started to walk towards where the party was gathered.

Looking back at the two, Alvan couldn't help but think back to what the woman had told him. It was a rather cryptic message but that was only because he was only allowed to know the bare minimum. Maybe if he knew a little more, things might become clear.

'Ruler of worlds, travelling through the layers of incarnation. First as a demon, second as a human and third as a deity… Could she be talking about reincarnation?' Alvan wondered to himself before shaking his head.

Looking down at the city, he wondered if he should retire now and go out into the world. After all, he had already passed on the item that the fortune teller had given to him.
