The next day Evan went out for a walk.
According to the details on the merit shop, the items he ordered will take one more day before he will receive them.
Since he had nothing else to do for the time being he decided to look around the city.
While walking around the city he saw there were very few people who were walking around.
It was eight in the morning and usually, the city is full of people at this time, but after the recent incidents, most of the people were scared and were staying in their homes. To Evan, the current atmosphere of the city was quite gloomy.
"It will take some time before everything in the city will return to normal" Evan muttered while entering one of the public parks of the city.
There were few people in the park, but Evan noticed most of them were hunters. He walked towards one of the benches of the park and sat there looking at the clear blue sky.
When he saw the blue sky he remembered the dream he saw yesterday, and for some reason, the first question that the little girl in his dream asked him came into his mind
"Are you alone, huh" Evan muttered while lost in his thoughts.
"Now that I think about it, I am really alone," he said like he was talking to himself, "and not just in this life, even in my past life I was a lone Otaku who had no friends or family members"
"I spent most of my time playing games or reading novels, and surprisingly I never even thought about making friends for some reason. It was like, I just wanted to stay alone and did not want to get closer to anyone"
Evan said and continued, "Even after I transmigrated here, I still don't want to make friends or get closer to anyone just like in my previous life. Otherwise, with my current look, I don't think I can't find a rich lady who will spoil me for the rest of my life"
When Evan said that suddenly he started to remember some of the dreams that he saw after passing out during his core advancement.
Even in those dreams, he saw he was alone and had no friends or family members.
When Evan remember those dreams he felt a mild headache but it was nothing compared to the headache that he felt last night, so he didn't even bat an eye when he felt it.
"So I am a lone dog even in my dreams" Evan said trying to not think about the dreams that he just remembered.
Even though he was calling them dreams, he now knew they are definitely more than normal dreams.
Even though he knew he is not a genius or the smartest person alive, he is still smart enough to know that there is something wrong with those dreams.
He opened his status window and looked at one of the notifications that he received during his core advancement.
(You have absorbed one of ????)
(Your soul is being strengthened because of absorbing ????)
Evan was looking at these two notifications because of the memories that he just received a moment ago.
Other than the fact that he was alone in those dreams, he also noticed that at the end of each dream, he was absorbing something from there.
In one of the memories that he just received, he saw he was a monk who was meditating all day at the top of the mountain. (Read Chapter 211 if you forget)
One day his monk self suddenly died for no reason while meditating and turned into golden light.
After his monk self turned into golden light, he absorbed that golden light and felt a headache.
And Evan was very familiar with that kind of headache.
During the past months, he felt so many headaches, that now he can call himself an expert in the department of headaches.
"That headache was very similar to the headache that I felt when I first arrived in this world and received original Evan's memories," he said while taking a deep breath. (read chapter 2)
The more he thought about it the more nervous he become for some reason.
"If what I just said is true, then doesn't it mean they were actually memories of people who looked like me, and not just simple dreams."
(You have absorbed one of ????)
(Your soul is being strengthened because of absorbing ????)
He looked at the two notifications once again and a possibility came into his mind.
In the dreams that he saw during his core advancement, all the people who were looking like him suddenly died for no reason and turned into golden lights.
Then he absorbed that golden light and felt a headache that was similar to the headache he felt when he first transmigrated into this world.
"Could it be, all of those people who looked just like me were real and after they suddenly died I absorbed their souls which is why my soul is many times stronger than before"
"But this can't be true, right? How can such a thing is possible?" he said while shaking his head not wanting to believe on the possibility that just came into his mind.
''But what if this is true?'' suddenly he said while placing his hand on his chest where his heart and monarch core was located.
"If this is true, and all those people were indeed real, then why did they die suddenly and more importantly, how did I absorb their souls to increase my soul power"
"Did they die because of the power that came into my body from the shadow realm during my core advancement, and left after scanning my body" he said feeling he was close to remembering something important.
But the more he thinks about it the more chaotic his mind becomes. It was like he is trying to break a seal, but his mind is not strong enough.
Ring-!! Ring-!!
Just as he was about to go insane because of his chaotic thoughts, his phone rang bringing his mind back to normal from its chaotic state.
