5 Dilya (1/2)

Dilya led Karl into the room, and the guard left shortly after. She patted a wooden chair, telling him to sit down. He sat down and looked at her. She looked like all the other Ancient Ones, but different. It was weird. It wasn't even that she looked amazing, for a woman with no hair, she just had a certain... aura.

Dilya sat down across from him. She also looked at him, but not in the same way that he did. She was wondering how he lost his memories. She had never heard of someone losing their memories, so this was very peculiar. ”So you have lost your memories? How much have you lost?”

Karl nodded. Since he lied, he might as well go with it. ”Yes, I have. I lost all my memories, I think. The only thing I knew when I woke up was my name.”

Dilya nodded, listening to him. ”I see. Well, there is a way that we could find out more about you, speaking of, what is your name? I am named Dilya.”

”My name is Kigai, and if you could recover my memories, or find out more about me, then that would really help me out.” Of course, there were no memories to recover. He was just going with the lie.

”It is nice to meet you, Kigai. Just sit still and let me inspect you.” Dilya extended her arm towards him, her open palm pointing at him. ”Inspect.”

[Dilya is trying to inspect you. Will you let her? If she inspects you, she will have no idea that you are a god, and can only see the status of this avatar.]

'There's also an inspect ability? Well, if she can only see this avatar's status, then I guess it's ok. I'll allow Dilya to inspect me.'

Dilya inspected him and saw his status. Everything was looking good until she saw that he was only level 1, and he was 18 years old. The average 18-year-old in the city was level 20. It's practically impossible to stay at level 1 as growing up will give you enough essence to reach level 10. She had no idea why he was level 1.

”Umm, Kigai, I'm looking at your status here and it says that you are level 1. That should not be possible considering you are 18, unless...”

”Unless what?”

”It should be possible, but my theory is that someone purposely attacked you and stole your essence. We already take essence from dead creatures, so what's to say that we can take essence from living ones? This is only a theory though, but it would explain why you lost all your memories, and you're level 1.” Dilya explained.

Karl nodded. ”I see. That does make sense. But who would attack me?” Of course, he knew the truth. No one attacked him. He didn't get his essence stolen. This was just an empty body with no essence.

”Alright, so what are you going to teach me first?” Karl asked, excited about going onto his journey.
