LIGHT NOVEL Chapter 1251: Amelia
Chapter 1251: Amelia
The reason why I wasn't even equipped with a damn Dream Heart was beyond me, but as Lucifer said, it might be because I qualify as a Nightmare in this world and somehow that's how the world, the world of this trial, has qualified me as?
Maybe I am developing a Nightmare Heart now or something... Or perhaps none of that. Although I've also realized that my ability to just regenerate Beatriz from just a head wasn't normal. Mana alone shouldn't be able to do that right?
So maybe since I entered this world that I gained some sort of "Nightmare" property, which might even also why that Nightmare Lord was tanking my blows as Nightmares seem to be naturally resistant to each other.
Anyways, we arrived at "my" house, and before she disappeared, I was fairly sure I saw her, the sister of the character I've become.
She looked a lot like me, it surprised me... she had pale white skin, red eyes, and silvery-white hair, turned into braids. However she looked very depressed and sickly.
Before entering though, I had to assess one little thing...
Ding!
[Congratulations! You have slain hundreds of Nightmares and the powerful Nightmare Lord!]
[You gained a very large quantity of EXP!]
[Level Up!]
[Level Up!]
[Level Up!]
[Level Up!]
[Level Up!]
[Level Up!]
[Level Up!]
[Level Up!]
[Level Up!]
[Level Up!]
[...]
[Your Level has increased from Level 257 to Level 267/300!]
[All your Stats have increased! You gained Bonus System Points!]
[Due to battling many Nightmares and defeating a mighty Nightmare Lord, your Dream- related skills have gained bonus points of skill proficiency.]
[The Skill: [Shattered Nightmare Realm Soul Body: Lv1] have gained 2 Levels!]
[The Skill: [Spiritual Heart: Lv1] have gained 2 Levels!]
[The Skill: [Dream Heart Weapon: Lv1] have gained 2 Levels!]
[The Skill: [Nightmare Slayer: Lv1] have gained 2 Levels!]
All Dream-related skills are now Level 3, which is pretty nice, so I suppose that's that for now.
At the end of the trial I might end up at Max Level, which would be really sweet.
After all, one of the reasons I even decided to climb down the Tower was to find opportunities where I could fight powerful foes and monsters and gain more EXP.
Despite all the problems with this damned trial, there's a lot of new powers I've gained, new abilities, more EXP which translates to more Levels and Stats and...
Well, perhaps more friends?
Or maybe not.
It depends how they'll react to my existence once they find out that I wasn't the person they always believed I was.
Nonetheless, it was time to enter "my" house and meet "my" sister...
"If I'm not wrong, her name was Amelia." I told Arthur. "So call her by that name if possible...
or big sis? You're much smaller so maybe acting cutesy fits you better bro."
"I'm actually a young adult now, sis..." Arthur sighed. "But I shall try."
"Okay then... I got the keys here? Yes..." I nodded. "Okay you guys just act normal like you're just friends... maybe be nervous a bit."
"Ok!" Nyx nodded. "I'll do my best acting mama!"
"Don't call me mama for now dear, alright? How about just... uh, Maria?" I asked.
"Hmm... It's weird to call mama by her name..." she said.
"Oh well..." I shrugged. "Celes, remember to call Nia as sister, ok?"
"Hm! Ok!" he nodded obediently.
We moved forward, as I glanced at the gates around the manor's territory, which were completely black, I used a key to open them easily, and once we were inside, I closed the gate and moved forward.
There were no guards or something nor surveyance cameras either, I think my family might not be the richest out there but we're a declining family of "nobles" or whatever.
"Here we are..."
I opened the door to the manor with the keys again, looking at the interior curiously. Mostly dark brown colored interior, it looked a bit cozy with lots of furniture and books, there was a chimney that had been turned on and also I could smell the fragrance of black tea.
Aside from that, there was a stair going upwards, and the house, aside from all the furniture and books, had a few portraits of the family members. My portrait looked weirdly black and blurred. It Amelia hasn't found it weird then it means people of this world won't notice these things.
"Amelia! A-Are you there? I'm back..."
I decided to call, and patted Arthur's shoulders to do the same.
"Big sis? We're back~"
After our first call, there was just silence, but I'm fairly sure she saw us.
Is she a bit shy due to her sickness?
She was on the first floor too...
"I brought a lot of friends from the academy! They're not Sofia and the rest though, those
girls are sleeping after exercising a lot so I couldn't bring them..." I said. "Hi?"
More silence...
"Hm, stay here guys," I said. "Arthur, let's go investigate."
"Ok," he nodded. "I'll go to the left."
"Then I go right..."
I walked over the slightly old wooden floor which made some slightly loud sounds with each
step.
As I moved towards the living room, I found a cup of tea that was still hot.
Then I heard something in the kitchen right next to the living room.
"Amelia?"
I looked into the kitchen, btu there was... nothing?
"I could swear I heard something?"
As I wondered, I moved forward.
But a weird feeling passed through my back and reached my shoulder.
"Huh?!"
I almost got slightly scared as I felt someone touching my shoulder, only to gasp at a voice.
"Sister! You're back!"
"Aaah?! Ah! O-Oh!"
I almost screamed like an idiot. How did she even manage to sneak away from my Aura like that?! I am fairly sure I can literally sense anything around me!
"What's wrong?"
It was a young woman with crimson eyes, long silvery-white hair made into braids, wearing
glasses, and sitting over a wheelchair, she seemed to be able to move it easily around the
house.
Wow, isn't she pretty though?
So this is my "sister" huh?
"Amelia..." I said. "Ah, sorry, you scared me there! I heard something in the kitchen moving
and I thought it was you but when I went to see, you weren't there..."
"Oh... Heh, I guess you caught me."
"Huh?"
