Death... and me

Rean looked at Roan, obviously wishing to know if they should talk about it. Roan, of course, didn't want to reveal anything about the system as much as possible. However, he felt that he should tell what happened to Sunkan at the very least. 'Go ahead, just hide the system-related things.'

Rean nodded and explained, "Well, Sunkan Planet, which was the planet we were in before, was attacked. It didn't stand a chance as it was wiped out of existence."

"What?!" Ramona was obviously shocked to hear that. "H-How? Who attacked it?"

Rean shook his head, replying, "No idea. Roan and I, including a few others, escaped by using a teleport formation to another planet during that time just moments before it exploded." Rean then explained as many things as he could while he kept the existence of the Dimensional Realm and the system concealed for the moment.

In the end, Luina, or Ramona, might be their acquaintance. However, they haven't seen her in more than sixty years. Who can tell whether they could trust her or not? Not to mention that she's a disciple of a huge power, and the system's existence might catch some unnecessary attention if she opened her mouth. One must remember that getting close to the center of the Realm of Gods also meant getting close to whoever came after the twins because of Soul Gem.

"And that's all we know at the moment," Rean explained.

"To think such a thing happened." Ramona couldn't help but sigh after hearing that. "That means my parents and everyone else were wiped out of existence?"

Rean shook his head, telling her, "You aren't the first person from our planet we've met so far. We also met Havek, a member of the Formation Guild in the Sasamil Empire. Other than Havek, we also met our blood sister, who's now a spirit."

Ramona then noticed something. "Right, you mentioned something about spirits a moment ago."

Rean nodded as Roan only listened. "Yes. So far, we've met three people from our Sunkan Planet. Well, the third one we haven't really met yet. The first one was Rana, our sister. She reincarnated as a fairy. The second one was Havek, a Sea Chilling Spirit. The third one that we haven't met yet is Zangron. It's just that Zangron wasn't someone from Sasamil Empire but from another continent altogether. At the moment, he's looking for more people from our Sunkan Planet."

Rean continued, "That's why we thought that everyone from Sunkan Planet had reincarnated into spirits. Or at least, those who did reincarnate became spirits. Obviously, that isn't the case since you're here."

However, Ramona immediately shook her head, saying, "I don't think you're wrong, to be honest. I might look like a human. However, I'm the offspring of a fairy male and a humanoid race woman. Since your sister was a fairy, I believe you can tell why I found out about you two straight away once I appeared in the Jhiod Sect, right?"

Rean and Roan were taken aback. "Karma threads!"

Ramona nodded in response. "That's correct. I received my father's power of being able to see karma threads. However, unlike real fairies, I can't touch them. After all, real fairies can change one's luck by meddling with the karma threads."

"I see..." Rean and Roan still remember that it was because of the karma threads that they found Rana in the first place. The first fairy they met had taken a look at their karma threads and saw the only white thread that connected them to Rana. As mentioned back then, all karma threads were supposed to be golden in color. But for some reason, the twins' thread to Rana was white.

Nevertheless, Roan found something strange. "Wait! The only thing you tell by looking at the white karma thread is that you have some connection with the ones connected to it. You shouldn't be able to tell who they are or even see their faces through that thread. At the very least, Rana, who was a Fairy Queen on top of that, couldn't."

Ramona didn't deny that. "You're correct. However, I'm not a fairy, but half a fairy. The reason I was able to see the faces of those connected to the white thread was due to my mother's side of the family, or her race, to be more specific. She's a Sacred Eye race member."

Roan's mind immediately thought about Luan when he heard that. "So you're also part of that race, just like my disciple. Still, I can't see the three pupils in your eyes."

Ramona was surprised that Roan would have a Sacred Eye race member as his disciple. "That's unexpected... how would you have someone from the Sacred Eye race? They're too rare in the Realm of Gods. There wasn't supposed to be anyone in a forgotten place like this one."

"How about you answer my question first?" Roan asked back.

"Ah, sorry." Ramona had to admit Roan asked his question first. "That's basically a mutation I got from being a child of a fairy man and a Sacred Eye woman. Instead of receiving the power of seeing the Elements and Divine Energy, I was able to see the other ends of the karma threads connected to me. Of course, there's a range limit to this. It doesn't work if the other end of the karma thread is more than ten or so kilometers away."

Roan could accept that. "If you could see the other end regardless of the location, that would be way too heaven-defying. My disciple, too, can't see more than a few kilometers away with his two special pupils. Oh, right! Can you see everything happening around the target of the thread you're checking?"

"No. I would love it if such a thing were possible. Now, it's your time to answer my question," replied Ramona. "Also, would you mind if I met your disciple?"

Roan nodded in response. "Give me a moment. I'll go fetch him."
