The next thing on the agenda was finding where Emma and the rest of the organization were hidden.

Emma had barely mentioned it over the phone as she told him that they would be the ones finding him. However, Aiden was a little dubious over that fact as he was currently walking in the slums.

In fact, Aiden was going toward his old house. Well, if it could even be called that.

The place where he had spent a few days when he got transmigrated into this world.

He laughed just thinking about it.

A lot of things have happened since then.

Hell, he was about to take control of this territory. He wouldn’t have imagined such a thing in the past. However, time flashes by, there’s nothing you can do about it.

’Let’s hope that they also have people in the slums.’

Aiden walked through the deserted streets where the only thing he could find were malnourished people lying around.

He walked past a shop at the end of a street as he raised his head. It was the shop that gave access to the Otherworld Shop…he remembered the strange door inside.

Nostalgia hit deep as he now remembered exactly where his wooden cabin was situated. He quickly walked over in that direction when a homeless spoke up to him.

"Young man…where are you going like this?"

Aiden hadn’t quite understood that the man had been talking to him at first. However, he turned his head and finally noticed the man. Continue reading stories on empire

He was on the ground, he had cuts all over his body, and there wasn’t a single doubt in Aiden’s mind that this man would die in a few hours at the very least. That’s what he analyzed. However, he could potentially be wrong.

"Young man…I-I need to tell you something," the homeless man said as he slowly straightened his back.

Aiden frowned upon hearing that, as he didn’t have anything in common with this man. There had to be something going on.

"What do you need to tell me?"

"Before that, I need to confirm something."

He slowly stood up from the ground as he could barely take a step forward. He got right in Aiden’s face, who didn’t move a single muscle.

Aiden hadn’t felt the slightest threat coming from the man in front of him. However, he was still ready to react at any moment given.

The homeless man put his hand on Aiden’s face as if looking for something in particular.

"Hm…"

He kept looking for another minute.

"Your name?"

Aiden wasn’t sure if he was supposed to lie. In fact, that had been almost a reflex from the past. However, he shook his head, realizing that there was no point in lying anymore. Ꞧ₳𐌽ꝋꞖƐ§

"Aiden Nightshade."

"Hm, I thought so."

The demeanor of the homeless man changed within seconds as he was now able to walk correctly without the slightest problem. He turned around and walked away from Aiden.

"Don’t just stand there. Follow me." He smiled. "Everyone is waiting for you."

The man got rid of his disguise as he continued to walk in a straight line. He suddenly took a left and walked right through a wall.

Aiden frowned when he saw that. He touched the wall at first, making sure that he wouldn’t get hurt. However, his hand went right through it.

He was in the middle of a dark space all of a sudden. However, amidst of the darkness, there was a large building on their right with lights all around it.

’Is this one of the dimensions that only the founding families could create?’ Aiden thought.

He had no idea how Emma had managed to create something like this. But he found it funny that they had been hiding in their own personal dimension right under the Nightshades Territory.

’If only Sylas could see that

Aiden imagined his frowning face and laughed out loud, surprising the man who had guided him here.

"I forgot to say, but it’s nice to finally meet our savior," the man said as he continued to walk toward the building.

There was no one protecting it from the outside. In fact, it seemed quite calm inside it, as Aiden couldn’t see the slightest movement.

"How did you create this secret dimension?" Aiden asked, his curiosity getting the better of him.

The man scoffed. "A lot of things changed within five years. We managed to obtain one of the secret techniques from the founding families. We also have a few spies in the Nightshade Family. Don’t worry. We haven’t wasted any time while you were away training."

Aiden couldn’t help but grit his teeth when he heard that. He had only trained for one year, while they had spent five years here. Still, the power and strength he had achieved while being away should still be enough.

At least, he hoped so.

"Who are those spies?" Aiden asked instantly.

"You should know one of them quite well. She’s called Lilia Nightshade. She was open to helping us the moment she learned that you were the one behind all this."

Aiden frowned as he didn’t remember right away. However, he quickly remembered the end of the Inter-Family Tournament. He had met her there.

If he recalled correctly, she had been acting quite close to him because of their past with one another. However, Aiden had no memories of that past, as it had happened before with the previous owner of this body.

’Right…to think that you’re still in here.’ Aiden thought as he remembered when the previous owner of this body had taken control of his body in the past. ’Don’t worry. You’re about to get your revenge on everyone.’

Still, Aiden had no choice but to dismiss this thought as he arrived by the door of the building.

The man quietly opened it, and on the other side of it, there was only one person.

His favorite elf, Emma Everheart.

She was standing there, wearing her black training suit, just like he remembered. Her brownish hair and blue eyes stared at him as he walked through the door.

"I’m back," Aiden declared as Emma ran into his arms, hugging him tightly.
