Transmigrated As The Final Villain of a Death Game-Chapter 283: Partial Awakening [ 6 ]

With the last of our bickering, we eventually entered some long hallway, and after arriving at the door at the very end, we stopped.

I couldn’t feel anything past this door, except for the presence of someone seemingly there and not there at the same time. It was a weird sensation that I wasn’t sure I had ever felt before.

Strange...

But if someone was wise enough to be considered an oracle, I was sure that person was mysterious in their own right.

So with that in mind, I gave Godfrey one last look, and after making sure there were no issues, I simply stepped through the door. To my surprise, the room was as plain as ever, and from the looks of it, it was a bedroom.

A bedroom with no windows, no sharp tableware, and most definitely nothing one could kill themselves on.

As I glanced ahead, I spotted a white haired woman. Her hair and eyes were also white, and right off the bat, she gave me the impression of a Divine Beast. I thought it was a little too far fetched at first, until I got closer and realized that the woman’s presence was indistinguishable from any other Divine Beast.

And that got me thinking...

There were five Divine Beasts I knew of in the game from all the lore. I had already come across four of them, didn’t I?

Rachel.

Elise.

That bastard who tried to kill me.

This woman...

There was only one left.

But who was the last Divine Beast?

Rather...

How many of these Divine Beasts really are on humanity’s side? Elise, for one, is a very big neutral. Rachel seems even more chaotic, which likely means she’s an enemy.

The one who attacked me was definitely not with humanity, and as for this woman here...? It didn’t take a genius to realize she was enslaved by these demons, so the odds of her actually being on their side were slim to none.

The door was soon closed shut. I was surprised by how lenient they were being. After all, the difference between a Demon Emperor and me wasn’t as large as one would expect. I could probably kill her here and they would not have enough time to react.

Godfrey might though.

Whatever the case may be though, I decided to play it safe. I approached the woman and sat down on the bed beside her. She seemed unresponsive at first, until she sniffed the air and turned toward me.

Only then did I realize that her pupils were a little off, almost like she was blind. I focused my energy on her eyes and quickly noticed that there was no energy traveling into her eyes, almost like she was blind. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Despite that...

"Amon Everness, or do you prefer Gabriel Edware?"

"...?"

"Who’s Gabriel Edware?"

She paused for a moment, then sighed.

"How many times have you died?"

Okay...

This is starting to feel a little weird.

Before I could reply, she continued:

"One during your previous life, another while your heart was being replaced. Then, you were stabbed through the heart, and... Hmm... I can sense you’ve died a couple more times, but I can’t feel it. Though that would explain why you cannot recall some details of your life before you were transmigrated here."

Gabriel Edware...

I thought over it for a moment. The name didn’t seem that familiar, but judging by her words, that was my name before I became Amon Everness. My name back in my old world, the same name I had forgotten.

"Can I not remember because of death corruption?" I asked.

She crossed her legs and shrugged.

"Death corruption isn’t real. What you’re experiencing is just a simple form of derealization. I highly doubt the life you even experienced in that strange dream is real. It is much more likely that you’re... Oh? Now that’s fascinating..."

She fell silent after mumbling. Though, my curiosity was far from fulfilled.

"What are you talking about?" I turned to her. "Derealization? Strange dream? Tell me. Now."

The woman paused for a moment, then let out a chuckle.

"No need to threaten me, boy. I am here to answer every question you pose, except for those that threaten my own well-being, or that of my fellow siblings."

She then pointed at her chest.

"I don’t have a name, but the demons have decided to call me Indra. You may call me that too, Gabriel."

"It’s Amon," I replied. Then, I narrowed my eyes. "If you’re so intent on answering my questions, then answer them. What are you talking about?"

Indra leaned back on the bed and plopped down. A faint smile spread across her face as she said:

"In times of realization or reincarnation, you are very much capable of achieving impossible results, especially when they come to terms of your own imagination."

"Those results sometimes vary. Many cannot replicate what you have, Gabriel. It’s a very interesting feat, the ability to see the past, present, and future. You’re very much one of us, but you don’t seem in your right state of mind... When did you awaken?"

I wasn’t the wisest man alive, but I could pick up on subtle hints. In this case, the hints weren’t that subtle at all, as I knew fully well just what Indra was referencing to.

But none of it made sense. Not a single bit.

Very much one of us?

One of the Divine Beasts?

Was she trying to lie to me just because of the demons’ influence?

No...

If she was lying, I would be able to tell.

This was legit.

But if that was legit, did that mean everything that I had experienced in the past wasn’t real? What about my family in that other world? What about all the suffering I had gone through, and all the time I spent on that shitty game?

Was all of that just a lie? Everything?

No...

There must be some explanation.

I narrowed my eyes at Indra.

"Tell me everything you know."
