"What's going on!?" Adel cried out and hugged my waist.
"I am not sure…." I really had no idea what was going on. This never happened before in the previous timeline. I could only look at Atolie for answers.
"This is the first time this has ever happened." Atolie seemed to have read my mind. "But all I know is something powerful is about to appear in this world."
"Compared to me and you, Atolie, how powerful?" I couldn't help but feel nervous. I had just started anew. I was not looking to reset all over again.
"Even if there were ten of me, there would be no matching this power. But I feel it is still in a dormant state." Atolie replied. From her expression, I could tell she was worried about what had just appeared.
"So we have time? Can you tell me how much time we have and where this thing landed?" I could only hope I would have time to grow. I really did not wish to leave Grace, Adel, and Sophie behind…
"From what I am sensing. This thing is on the other side of the planet. And I am not sure about slumber time, but I would say at least ten years. You will have ten years to prepare." I wonder if Atolie realized she was giving some rather specific information here!
"How do you know that? Atolie, if you keep leaving me in the dark, it will be hard for me to prepare!" I hated this. There was so much that was being kept from me. I hardly asked anything, but this time, I had no choice but to force it out of her.
Atolie looked at me, her mouth open slightly before she sighed. "It's called a doom bringer…. It is a being that, once it lands on a world, will slumber for ten to twenty years. Ten is the safest bet. It is something that even those above dare not touch due to its strength and its strange aura. Just getting close to it will make you become weak. I can say for sure the place where this landed was off the coast of another continent. It is now slumbering deep in the ocean. Those who live within five hundred miles of this thing are already experiencing the effects of its aura. Faith, in order to defeat it, we will have to work even harder than before."
I could tell my expression was not good. But in order to have a life with Adel, Sophie, and Grace that will not end in tragedy, I will need to work much harder than before. As long as the dungeons spawned, I could level up much faster. "Alright. For now, we will continue as is. We can not do anything until the dungeons appear."
"This is for the best." Atolie nodded, agreeing with me.
"Faith, what do you mean?" I could tell that Adel was very confused at this time.
"You will understand later. For now, enjoy the peace while we still have it and always remember…." I hugged Adel tightly, lowered my head, and kissed her lips. "I will never let you come to harm."
"Mmm…." Adel became very meek as she blushed and pushed her face into my chest. Sophie seemed left out, so she came over to hug us both and gave me a kiss before holding Adel's chin and kissing her as well. This seemed to stun Adel, but she slowly closed her eyes and allowed it to happen.
Of course, we all forgot that we were surrounded by guards as well. But at least they were tactful and turned around. The three of us stayed hugging each other for a while before we finally went about our business. This situation also brought about Adel realizing her feelings for both Sophie and me.
We traveled through the day, and at night, we retreated to our bedroom. It was just this night something seemed to be on Adel's mind. "Faith, Sophie, can I ask what exactly we are? I know we are friends, but friends do not kiss each other like we do, right?"
I thought for a moment before saying: "Think of it like this. I am the husband, and you two are my wives. In the future, we will get married. We will live our lives the way we want to."
After I said this, I was a bit nervous since this was the first time I brought this up with her. "Are you against marrying me?"
"No! I would love to! I was just unsure since we are doing things that lovers would do. But now that things are clear, I feel relieved." Adel smiled brightly as she walked over and hugged me tightly. "So I am Faith's little wife!"
"That is right, and so is Sophie. The two of you are the people I love most in this world, and that will never change." I leaned down and kissed her lips. "So we will grow stronger together and defeat anything that stands in our way."
After all, for this girl, I have reset my life many, many times just for her. I still find it funny that I thought love was something I would never care about, but I guess it was fate that the three of us met. After bathing and getting into bed, Adel, Sophie, and I kissed for a long time. I guess Adel wanted to celebrate officially becoming a couple once again. She kissed Sophie and me for quite a while. Both girls then curled up in my arms while holding hands and using my shoulders as pillows as they fell asleep.
My family was once again officially together. I just had to do everything in my power to make sure there was no reset this time around. I wonder if I should bring Grace into the circle or not. If she wants to, I will openly let her in. Maybe Atolie as well. But that will have to wait until later. For now, I will keep things going slowly.
I sighed as I closed my eyes. Ten years…. This was my deadline to become strong enough to face the monster that appeared.
