According to Yuko's memories when I asked her before, she told me how she started remembering things weeks after our first meeting and how I seemed to be acting mature while she's like a kid who always wanted to be spoiled by me.
However, that might just be her perspective of what's happening to us. I could now clearly remember how childish I was when it came to her. The mature part of me that probably made its mark on her was when I was dealing with the other kids to leave us alone.
At that time, Yuko alone was enough for me and she's the same.
About the things she began to remember as days passed by, they were the dreams that she often narrated to me whenever we're together.
And confirming what she remembered, the Convergence of our Destinies happened ever since that first meeting. The days leading to the full awakening of our memories were just us spending time together.
In the end, she's still the trigger to why I awakened my memories that young.
And in truth, that was an arrangement I emphasized with the World's Will.
Even if every Companion of mine was as important to me, I wanted it to be Yuko. And all those women from my previous life understood it.
Yuko was just too special for me. And even now, she's still as special as before.
The scene in her memory when we first met was that same day when the World's Will kicked me out of that place, devoid of any memory but filled with the emotions that he felt excessive.
I landed in that forest where she would meditate to have a glimpse of her Transcendent Pathway.
She's already a Transcendent at that time so… It was easy for her to notice that I wasn't like her. I was an entity made of Energy.
An Energy Incarnation. That's probably the reason why my Transformation Skill turned out to be an Energy Incarnate.
Without any of my memories, I had no idea what I was or what's the purpose of my existence.
As an Energy Incarnation, my only ability is my Energy Control.
Being the first human I chanced upon as soon as I appeared on Earth, I became attached to Yuko. Also, the name Daisuke came from her. For her, I was her 'Great Helper' who allowed her to easily glimpse onto her Transcendent Pathway and helped her progress in it at a speed that was virtually impossible even for someone dubbed as a genius.
With my inherent Energy Control as a World's Will Incarnation, I also helped her with her Absorption Sessions by always concentrating the Earth Energy to her.
Due to that, her progress in her Transcendent Pathway left everyone in her generation to dust.
When it was time for her to go back to her family, she brought me back with, took me in as her unlikely confidant and protected me from the scrutinizing eyes because of my unnatural existence.
With a lot of Transcendent in their family, they were aware that the World's Will could send down an Incarnation. However, because of how different I was to a supposed World's Will incarnation, they couldn't wrap their heads around as to what I truly am.
At that time, my appearance was that of a boy at the same age as Yuko that my strength only reached the earlier stage of Rank 1 Transcendent.
Nonetheless, without any Physical Body and being unable to tread on the Earth's Pathway, I was incapable of growth.
As they were satisfied with the progress of Yuko's Transcendent Pathway and added to that her status in her family, no one opposed my existence to continue being at Yuko's side.
Naturally, that didn't stop them from prying and trying to solve the puzzle as to what kind of existence I was. However, after investigating my origin and finding no leads to pursue, I ended up becoming treated as some kind of pet for the girl.
A companion that was destined for her.
As time passed, Yuko started to bloom into a beautiful flower. With her beauty and her unrivaled strength, those who were seeking for her hand in marriage grew in droves.
Different Transcendent families began visiting her family, offering various benefits just to get her hand in marriage.
Naturally, at that time, the culture on Earth was a lot different than how it was in modern times.
Earth appeared peaceful at the surface but those Families were secretly competing amongst themselves to become the Hegemon of the World.
At that time, although I had an emotion which the World's Will unnecessarily poured onto me and I grew too attached to Yuko, there was no reason for an Energy Incarnation like me to fall in love with her.
We're different. I understood that from the start. While my appearance looked young at the start, I grew to understand that I could change my appearance at will.
That's why I emulated the growth that was happening to Yuko to my body. My appearance also changed over time.
At that time, I was still just her confidant and I had no idea what the girl thought of me.
Nonetheless, every good or bad thing that happened to her was all relayed to me. And in time, I grew protective of her.
I started moving against the member of her family who sought to get her hand in marriage.
Using my Energy Control to deprive them of Energy in their surroundings, sabotaging their absorption session and all sorts of things to make them uncomfortable.
Unbeknownst to me, Yuko was aware of what I was doing.
Well, who wouldn't? Every suitor who visited to see her or every family member that introduced those suitors all ended up leaving in fright as if they were cursed.
In the end, she also grew tired of those suitors. Apart from me, she only had a few individuals she could call her friends. And being treated as the princess of her Family, those friends were all careful with how they interacted with her.
As more years passed and she felt that she wouldn't progress in her Pathway by staying on Earth, she left for a Converging Transcendent World for an adventure.
And naturally, she brought me with her.
However, the real reason why she left was for me. She wanted to find a way to give me a Physical Body.
Because at that time, she didn't want anyone to be with her but me.
The reason I was granted a body was Yuko and the reason I ended up wanting to have a physical body was also because of her.
No matter how I rejected the idea of being in love with her, it would always come back whenever I would see her.
Naturally, we could be in love with each other even if we're different but… my strength as Rank 1 Transcendent was slowly getting left behind by her. At that time, she was already a Rank 3 Transcendent and it's not impossible for her to become a Rank 5 Transcendent or higher.
If we reached that point, my existence would just become a burden to her and we would end up separating from each other.
And that's why… we spent a few years on the run, searching for clues in different worlds all for the sole purpose of getting me a body I could inhibit.
In the end, we found the answer in a higher world. In a Sage World wherein the strongest entities at the Sage Stage were already perfecting each and every Source Energy type.
