《Last Wish System 》Chapter 376: Truth and Memories
Advertisement
Yale felt unable to discern the truth about that matter, but he decided to cast aside that topic for the moment.
"Master, I don't know if you are aware of my situation, but I need to do anything to help those important to me, or I will never be able to forgive myself. Probably, that will have some bad effect on others, but I truly don't care about it. It was my fault for being weak that they need now my help, so I am ready to pay any price. Master, do you have a piece of advice for this unworthy disciple?"
Although Yale wasn't an expert about fate, he knew that if he saved those that were supposed to die, the effects couldn't be just limited to that and it was sure that unrelated people would end being affected by it.
Yale decided that his family and friends were far more important than those random people, so even if he became the one who would doom some random people to death or a cruel fate, Yale would do it as long as that saved those important to him.
However, that was the decision that Yale made on his own, so he wanted a second opinion, and he couldn't think of anyone better than his master. It didn't matter if the master was real or illusory, Yale felt that he needed to hear his words.
"The Liye I know is someone without any power, but who still obtained the respect of everyone. Always seeming cold-hearted and strict, but every time someone harmed his disciples, Liye relied on any method, without worrying about how underhanded or dirty the method was to revenge them."
That wasn't a direct answer to Yale's question but made Yale remember some words of the past, from the time he was the weak Liye who had just become a disciple.
"There isn't any absolute righteousness. Those who feel that they are the only ones upholding righteousness are just hypocrites. People usually show righteousness on the outside, but you can't expect that they will really act like that. In the end, the one who wins will turn into the hero and the defeated one into the criminal. Don't become tied for the correct ways or for what others will think for your actions and just do whatever you feel that you should do."
Yale smiled when he remembered those words. Although Yale had just remembered about that time after entering into the Timeless Border, those words fit well with his personality.

"I am a fool, I knew it when I didn't remember about it and I forgot it after remembering it..."
The answer to his problem was something he had always known, but he ended forgetting due to the pressure of the situation.
"Thank you, master. In the end, your words saved me again."
The man smiled when hearing the words of Yale.
"I will just forget about anything else and act as I feel that I should act. I don't care if the reality or the Timeless Border agree with my point of view, but... for me you are real."
The logic told Yale that his master was fake because it couldn't exist as that was common knowledge about the Life and Death Trials, but Yale felt that he couldn't consider that the existence of his master was fake just by that.
"How could illusory experiences have such a deep impact on me? That is impossible. Here I may not have the Last Wish System, but after talking with my past self, I should have already discovered it. The illusion Immunity of the Last Wish System should have derivate from the soul empowerment received from my mother; there is no way something like that could be artificially added."
Yale smiled while thinking that at the same time that he understood that his answer had been correct, and his master really existed.
"The soul is affected by the Life and Death Trials, so it should have been impossible for me being affected by the life and Death Trials if they had been an illusion. All the lives I experienced were real. Probably those are just smaller universes like the one that contains the Purgatory World. The universes are different, so it isn't strange if the flow of time isn't synchronized."
When Yale finished thinking about it, he bowed to his master.
"Master, I hope that someday you manage to come to my universe. Well, maybe it should be easier to visit yours. I don't know, but we will definitely meet again."
Yale saw that his master nodded after hearing those words.
"I just learned about your universe after coming here. My universe is just one of the subordinate universes of your universe, but the Timeless Border can affect any universe under your universe's jurisdiction, so there should be a way to travel between both. I admit that I still don't know how to reach your universe, but I am sure that the real me will discover a way."

After saying that, the man's body started to fade away.
"It seems that my time is over. I don't know how much my words can help you from now on, but you mustn't forget your past. Everything you lived is part of yourself. It is alright to rely on your past memories when you don't know how to advance to the future."
Yale knew that it was normal for the real shadows to leave after having discovered that they were real, so he wasn't worried at all.
"Thank you, master. I will never forget again."
Seeing his master disappear completely, Yale closed his eyes before muttering.
"I need to recover them now. Come."
Yale hadn't moved at all, but a shadow appeared just in front of himself.
"It seems that you have started to understand how this space works."
After opening his eyes, Yale confirmed that the person in front of him was the one he wanted to meet.
"To avoid misunderstandings, I will call you Liye. Despite having a lot of names, it seems that you used that name a lot, right?"
Liye nodded when he heard that.
"Indeed. This is just one of my names, but its meaning is important to me. Tell me, Yale, my future self, are you sure that you want to recover them all?"
Yale had previously met that kid that was his oldest self, but from the conversation, it was clear that Yale's past life had entered the Timeless Border at another time, and that was the shadow he left behind.
"Yes. I want all my memories back. I know that there are some things I mustn't remember for now, so it is alright if that part remains sealed, but I want to remember everything else."
Liye smiled when he heard those words.
"Alright, I was told that this moment would come."
Liye advanced towards Yale and put his hand on Yale's forehead.
"I allow you to recover all your memories."
The bodies of Liye and Yale started to shine as the key to Yale's memories, hidden by the Mysterious Expert in Liye's shadow started to restore the forgotten memories of Yale.
When Yale opened his eyes again, his body had already returned to normal, and Liye's shadow had already disappeared after fulfilling his task.
"The memories from before sealing my true name and those related to my death are still missing, but I feel that remember almost everything else."
Although Yale had restored so many memories, he didn't feel that he had really changed. His past was still his past, with reincarnation or without it, it wasn't strange for people to change with the pass of time, but that didn't mean that they need to erase all the memories from the time they were different.
"Let's clear this trial quickly."
Yale didn't move at all, but he opened his mouth and shouted.
"All the illusions, disappear!"
The white space trembled when Yale finished his last word, and black cracks started to appear for all the place.
"Real shadows that still need to meet me. Come, I will face you all."
A lot of shadows appeared in front of Yale, some of them were from a time that Yale had just remembered moments ago. Although the shadows were together, they didn't seem to notice the presence of others, and only looked at Yale.
At that moment, the will of Yale was strong enough to clear the trial at any moment, but he felt that he should still meet all of those real shadows.
Yale spent time speaking with each of them, and when all of them disappeared, he just shouted.
"I cleared this trial!"
The white space crumbled completely after hearing Yale's words.
He remembered the conversations with those last shadows, but he felt that it wasn't the moment to ponder about them for now. His parents, his legacy disciple, the woman who saved Aiwai and Wyba, some of his already dead disciples, disciples about who Yale didn't know about their current state, among others.
All of them had some importance to Yale, but at that moment, the most important thing for him was saving his family and friends.
"I already cleared it. Now, will you tell me how to change fate? No. I should say how to change the past. Did you feel that I wouldn't discover it at this point?"
The kid didn't seem surprised by Yale's words.
"I felt that you would discover it. We are about to commit an unforgivable sin, but I know that you are ready."

Gaming on a MUD is difficult.
This is a story based on my characters background and journal that I played on a mud (Multi User Dungeon) over the course of several years. Dozens of people play a text based command line game at the same time. I figured I'd try to turn in into a story to see if anyone found it interesting. Please leave a comment and let me know what you think. This is my first time so not very experienced. It is a story about how going into a multi player game expecting a typical RPG experience turns into something else because other players are involved.
