The Author's POV

Chapter 546

"Ugh."

A groan escaped from my mouth as I thought about asking Octavious for help.

'Out of all individuals, it had to be him?'

Just my luck.

Glancing Douglas's way, I sighed before asking.

"…How sure are you that he can help?"

"I'm fairly confident."

Caressing his beard, Douglas's slowly said.

"He also seems to have had a problem with his soul, so if there is anyone you should ask, it should be him."

"Ugh."

Letting out another groan, I leaned back on the chair and sighed.

'It doesn't look like I have another option.'

Things had just turned a lot more problematic…

To be honest, I didn't really want to see him. However, because this was one of my top priorities at the moment, I really didn't have much choice.

Somehow, and someway, I had to meet him.

'This is the only way I can finally regain my memories before reincarnation, and dispel my other self's influence.'

Although just a hypothesis for now. After my soul healed completely, I believed all my memories of the future would disappear, and my old ones would reappear.

Not only that, but I would also know which feelings of mine were real and which ones were fake.

"I think I've answered your question. Do you need something else?"

Jolting me out of my thoughts was Douglas's voice. Turning to look at him, I thought for a moment before answering.

"…Remember how you told me you would allow me to take anything from the Cube?"

"Ahhh."

Douglas looked at me with a sudden look of understanding.

"I see what you're aiming for."

Taking a small tablet from his table, Douglas stroked his beard before pressing it to activate the hologram.

Following his actions, a series of different items present themselves before me. Extending his hand, Douglas smiled.

"Here is the catalog of what we have stored inside of the Cube, choose whatever you want."

Looking at Douglas, I squinted my eyes while studying the catalog.

"Am I allowed to pick an ranked skill?"

"Hmm…"

In response to my gaze, the hand that caressed his beard froze slightly. With a rather complicated look on his face, he eventually nodded his head.

"…I did say that you could take anything you wanted, so I guess I should keep my word. Take whatever you want."

Pausing for a moment, his face became sterner.

"But let me remind you, Ren. You shouldn't choose a skill just because of its rank. Choose a skill that you need the most at the moment."

"Okay."

Firmly nodding my head, I started to scroll the catalog.

Just like Douglas said, I couldn't be too greedy. That said, now that I had his approval, I wasn't going to be courteous with my choice either.

Since I was allowed to take an ranked skill, I wasn't going to shy away from it. If it proved to be useful, I was definitely going to take it.

Pressing the [Skill] section, I quickly got to work.

'Let's see…'

In a slick suit, Edward calmly waited at the house's entrance for Amanda who was currently changing.

'This is it.'

Today was an important day. After leaving for four years, Edward was finally going to return to his guild.

There was no doubt that his appearance would shake the entire human domain.
