Chapter 81 - Welcome (1/2)

[Violet Rose: Grey, is that you?]

Simon fell to his knees and brought his eyes' attention towards the holographic screen in front of him.

[White Rose: Grey?]

[White Rose: (@EVERYONE) Get on chat.]

[Black Rose: Grey, welcome back to the fold.]

A flurry of messages came forth, filling the screen with many words of welcome and surprise alike. The unfamiliar chat room quickly became familiar in Simon's head as he began to remember a few small details about this group. These details did not completely let him remember who he used to be nor what this group is, but he managed to regain a few pieces of knowledge.

”I am Grey Rose... A member of Rose Guild. I was lost after a bang.” Simon recalled to himself. With the motion of his right index finger, he opened up a keyboard system and typed a message into the chat room.

[Grey Rose: Hi...I am very sorry, but I do not really remember this place nor the people here.]

[Red Rose: Neither did we...]

[Blue Rose: Shush Red]

[Blue Rose: Grey just woke up a few minutes ago. Of course he wouldn't know what all of this sh*t is about.]

[Red Rose: So why don't we tell him?]

[Black Rose is typing...]

[Black Rose: This is completely normal. The guild is nowhere near as large as it used to be. Around 10k years ago, we used to control one half of the Upper Realms. Now we only retain a mere 1% of the Upper Realms. The reason for that?]

[Black Rose: We had to expend a Temporal Matter Essence to save the guild from certain annihilation. As to why? White will explain this one.]

[White Rose: We were at war with the Reaper Guild. We ended up nearly losing our only chance at a High Seat because they bombed our main stronghold while our leader (Gold Rose) was ascending into Limit Breaker stage.]

[Black Rose: Because of this, we lost our territory and our guild. But before they destroyed us, Silver Rose activated the Temporal Matter Essence and secured all members' escapes.]

[Blue Rose: That is basically how we ended up here. The only reason we know about any of this is because of a recording at the hidden base from Silver before we got sent into dreamland.]
