Chapter 60: The Village History(III)
“We are the descendants of True Gods.” She sighed.
I’m now losing my mind over this shit. I don’t understand why this all sounds like a movie plot.
“Wait, wait… Tell me more clearly, I am completely lost.” I asked hurriedly.
“Sorry, what’s your name? I totally forgot to ask you,” she said as she turned to face me.
“Alan,” I replied without even thinking. Yet her evasion of the topic stupefied me.
“So Alan, you heard it right, we are the descendants of True GOD,” she said and turned around to continue on her way.
The fact that there are actually descendants of GOD was quite shocking to me. Is it easy to become someone like that?
I caught up with her again and asked, “So if you are descendants of such a powerful force, why are you living this way?”
“That GOD is no more,” she said, looking at me so sorrowfully. I stopped asking questions and quietly followed her.
A few moments later, I saw everyone gathered together in one spot. There would be around 100 odd people here.
I was surprised to see that something was being cooked in the middle. It looks like a deer. It was the first time that I had seen so many people gathered together to eat at the same place.
As almost everyone was staring at me, I felt some type of unease. I know I’m new here and they’re just curious, but somehow, it just didn’t look good.
Seeing that man I encountered earlier, who was also standing there and staring at me, makes me feel even more uneasy.
Additionally, I saw the old woman I met before was also sitting there. She smiled at me and said: “Come on boy, sit here.” It may seem that she is blind, but somehow she can see me clearly.
Whatever it was, I went there and sat beside her.
She held my hand and asked, “Are you comfortable? How are you finding it here?”
It’s clear to me what she expected from me, and I’m not sure why she somehow feels like family to me, and I didn’t want to disappoint her.
“Good,” I said and patted her hand.
“I think Amelia has told you about us, but don’t take this all too seriously. Feel free to do as you like,” she said as if she could sense my discomfort.
While I sat there with a smile on my face and nodded at her, her response quite touched me.
There has been no one who has comforted me like this, even my parents were very distant from me.
They served the meat a while later, and as I was just about to eat it, I heard the voice of that asshole
This man was literally screaming, “Why do we give our food to a stranger?”.
I don’t know what bothers him about me. I know I am more handsome, but that wasn’t my fault, and I didn’t even say a word to him.
“Mind your words and be aware of what you say!” the granny called out to that asshole.
His mouth was shut after granny yelled at him, but I can see the look of displeasure on his face.
However, let him fuck off. I just took a bite of the piece of meat, and it was quite tasty. They must have used different seasonings here.
As I saw everyone eating, they seemed quite satisfied with their lives, and they seemed content with what they had.
After the food was finished, everyone headed home, but I stayed with the granny.
“Are you surprised to see so many people eating together?” She asked as if she read my mind.
My gaze shifted to hers as I nodded.
Turning her face away, she stared pensively into the distance, as if recalling something from the past.
“It has been our tradition for centuries; it keeps our family together, a bond that will never be broken.”
“You seem sad,” I replied. Her voice had a very sorrowful tone when she was speaking.
Her voice was a little shaken. “I feel like our power has become our weakness. Anyway, you should rest.”
I nodded at her and looked around to see Amelia staring at us as well.
While I was getting ready to leave, Amelia approached me and said, “Let’s go!” and walked away.
I quickly caught up to her as she walked very slowly.
Then she looked at me and said, “Don’t disappoint her. It seems like she’s happy from the bottom of her heart after so many years.”
I nodded at her saying nothing.
I will help you get stronger starting tomorrow”. She said.
“Don’t you feel, after getting stronger, I’ll run away from you and expose you?” I asked her,
How she can be so confident about me is beyond me.
“If you do that, I’ll hunt you down and kill you,” she warned with a serious look on her face
I shook my head and went to my hut, saying nothing to her.
When I entered my hut, I quickly stripped off my clothes and lied down on the bed, thinking how time had changed. Just a short time ago, I was in the city with Alexandra and Olivia. Now I am here, stuck in a forgotten village.
Inhaling deeply, I closed my eyes.
When I opened my eyes, many people again surrounded me. If I remember correctly, they were the same people from my prior dreams.
