My World Traveling System: The Harbinger of Death

-----

Miriam was drowning in her own dreams, as she seemed to be slowly recalling what happened. She was defeated by that weird kid that was always making bizarre faces, and even cursed by him for some reason. She bleed, and felt pain, so much pain that she felt like dying.

But Frank showed up, saving her, healing her, and protecting her…

"Everything will be alright."

His soothing and warm words put her at ease, as she was brough elsewhere, and without realizing it, she found herself sleeping in a comfortable and warm bed for various hours, until she suddenly felt something.

Within the darkness of her dreams, three bright golden lights emerged, rushing towards her, and fusing into her own body and soul. She didn't knew what they really were, but something… within her awakened.

She suddenly was swallowed by this light, as more memories began to be poured into her mind, perhaps the last memories she'll ever see…

FLASH!

Within this dream, she found herself floating in the middle of the sky, her white and golden robes were waving by the strong wind, as she felt tired and exhausted, gasping for air…

"Hahhh… Hahhh… You… Stop this at once… Slaughtering all humans is not the right thing to do…"

She spoke to something… something Miriam had never seen before.

It was as tall as a mountain, an abomination so big it spooked Miriam's consciousness a lot.

It was a titan shrouded in shadows, bigger than a kilometer. The monster had large fangs and black claws, and two enormous spiraling horns that reached high into the sky.

It had a single red-shot eye, which looked down at her as if she were a pitiful being.

"I've been freed from the shackles of the Outer Realm… I have been given a purpose and a new body… I, the son of Azathoth, cannot accept your proposal… My goal is to fulfill the terms of the one that has summoned me… Humanity will perish. If you stay in my way, you shall also perish."

The monstrous being spoke about strange terms Miriam had no idea of… Outer Realm, being given a new body, Azathoth… those were all terms she did not know, but that Frank knew. The Outer Realm was the Realm where Outer Gods originated, powerful eldritch entities of immense power that had been trying to invade this Universe for many eons.

However, their power is limited in another dimension, so they cannot completely showcase their truest powers. However… someone, someone within this world in the past summoned a being from this Realm, giving it a monstrous and titanic body to take over, and to… ensue the destruction of humanity.

"I cannot… let you…"

The goddess continued to fight for many days, weeks, and even months. The fight between her and the titan was intense, darkness and light continued to be poured through the entire world, reshaping it constantly. The old world was no more as a new one shrouded in magic emerged.

<br/>Ultimately… she sacrificed her very soul to stop the beast, using all her divine soul powers, she sealed herself alongside the demon. Her death was filled with many regrets. She only hoped for peace between humans and beasts.

For the two races to live peacefully, and to be able to coexists… Killing one or the other… was not the right answer. She was tired of war, of death, of destruction…

She was a noble soul, and sacrificed herself to save humanity, despite being the queen of all beasts in this world because she pitied them, she saw that they had families, she saw that they were people that had hopes and dreams…

"What drives you… to have so much compassion towards the ones… that have slain your people?" The Demon asked to her, as she embraced the monstrous being from another world.This chapter is updated by novelenglish.net . ꜰire

"Because in my eyes… they're all my children… All life… are my children…" She said with a warm smile, as the creature that had never experienced such simplistic feelings felt touched.

Her soul slowly fragmented apart over the eons, each piece of her soul flew away, being absorbed by the wheel of reincarnation, and reincarnated into an ordinary person in the world.

But the one behind the summoning of such a monster… Who could he had been? Miriam's memories quickly changed, as sudden glimpses of the past emerged, they were not even scenarios, but just images.

A single and strange man who emanated a powerful presence of bluish and bright star light, merged with the purest and deepest of abyssal darkness… A man who had been with the humans since they emerged in this world. A man that led them to slay the beasts, and even influenced them into slaying one another… a mysterious man that was always causing mischief for strange, wicked motives.

A man who lacked the memories of who he truly was, but that somehow had a large amount of knowledge about things no other human knew about… and he used them to summon this monstrous demon, sacrificing countless humans and beasts, and giving the creature a large piece of his soul… the demon which he goddess fought was born.

"Why?" Wondered Miriam. "Why did… a human summoned such a monster… Why did he wanted him to kill all of humanity… this… doesn't make any sense." She sighed.

Her eyes suddenly opened, as she found herself looking at Frank and company. She felt a bit confused; she didn't knew where she was. But her memories of her previous life were now clear… yet, she didn't felt she had changed, she was still the same and adorable Miriam of always.

"Miriam!" Frank cried, hugging the little girl. Gwendolyn, Axitl, Cathyl, and everyone also hugged her and petted her head, they were worried sick about her.

"I… What happened? Where am I?" She wondered.

"Well… we'll have to explain you a lot, so I hope you can listen carefully." Said Gwendolyn.

As briefly as they could, everybody explained to Miriam what had transpired through the tournament fight. This knowledge quickly complemented with what she learned through her dreams as well… She couldn't keep this a secret anymore.

"I have… to tell you something about my dreams…"
