44 The Great Calamity (1/2)

Shesmu couldn't understand a word Kazumi uttered. What great master? What teachings? And what did they mean by a trip? Were these people just messing with him, or was there something more. Shesmu had so many questions but so little answers.

”You two, let's talk for a minute.”

Shesmu then turned towards Leo and DepressedRyan.

”Sorry guys, but I'll have to talk with them alone. The situation is really complicated and I don't want to push you guys into it. So, can you just wait for me?”

Leo looked at DepressedRyan for a second before responding, ”Sure, take your time.”

”Thanks, guys. That helps a lot.”

Shesmu then looked at Kazumi and Amaterasu.

”Let's go you two, and you'll explain to me what exactly is going on.”

”Sure will do, great master!”

With those words, the trio left leaving Leo and DepressedRyan standing.

”Hey, Ryan. What do you think Shesmu wanted to talk with them about. He seemed so flustered.”

DepressedRyan looked at Leo before looking away pondering.

”Who knows. Well, I may have a slight idea, but… Let's wait until Shesmu decides to confront us and tell us everything. I'm sure he will do when the time is right. We're brothers after all.”

Leo looked at DepressedRyan before directing his vision to where Shesmu and the chunni duo went.

”Yeah, I guess you're right.”

Shesmu, Kazumi and Amaterasu reached a place far away enough for no one to hear them before Shesmu turned.

”Now, tell me, what's going on?”

Shesmu didn't want to reveal any of his cards yet, so he passed the ball to them.

”We know that you went back to the past.” Amaterasu was quick to the point, stating these facts with absolute certainty. ”We don't know by how much, but we know that it must be before the great calamity. Else, your reaction to us would definitely be different.”

Shesmu was thrown off guard. He did humor the possibility that these two could be time travelers like him, but for it to be actually true, Shesmu didn't expect that. Plus, they talked about a calamity. As far as Shesmu was concerned, no event could have been described as such in his past life. Yes, the switch from pvp to pve was a big problem for him, but it wasn't to such a scale that you could call it a calamity.

”Calamity? What do you mean? Also, how do you know that I went back to the past? What do you guys know?”

”Calm down the great master, calm down. We're going to explain everything that we can explain. As for the calamity, even we don't understand it fully. We just know that one day, reality crumbled and monsters appeared.”
