Memory Reaper's Ascension - Chapter 140: Invaluable information
Chapter 140: Invaluable information
Ishiki sat with wide eyes and flipped through the diary pages from the latest entry and backwards from there.
There were a few things that he noted—Firstly the diary was being written once a week, maybe on one of the so called holidays of this world.
Second that there was something unusual with them as if after a certain point they didn’t make any sense. Perhaps the person writing had bad memory or was brain washed.
He continued to flip through the pages until he came across a very strange thing. It was not too old entry… just about one and a half year ago.
The thing that made him stop at that page was the absence of a date. The page was marked with only a year… besides it the date was scribbled out to make it unreadable.
Suspicious now, Ishiki began reading the entry itself.
***
;;; th of July, year 1126 of Divine protection
I, Aldric of House Mandal, is here to write yet another day of my serving to the Great Angel.
It is very weird… I feel like I do not belong here anymore. It is a very Vivid feeling. I do not know what day is today. Nor do I know the exact year so I will start this page without a date and the same year as my last entry.
There is a skeleton in my bed, and strangely enough it is wearing the same cloths as I am. he is the same height as well.
It feels like I have been brought to the future. I suspect that this has something to do with my progression to completing the second trial and advancing my synth reactor tier to ’Adept’.
***
Ishiki froze at that moment and kept staring at the text. ’Adept… so the High priest was a player and he completed his trial to advance his Synth Reactor tier.’
A lot of confusions in Ishiki’s head were cleared and in that moment he felt as if he was one step closer to finding the truth about a lot of things.
But not to be mistaken, this step was akin to just a drop in the ocean there was still a lot that needed to be explained. But at least he knew something now.
’So, The synth reactor tier can be advanced by completing more trials. Completing the first trial would advance it from None to Innate. Then after completing the second trial it would further advance to Adept.’
He summarized his thoughts and then added another knowledge to this.
’The Shinobi’s Synth Reactor tier was Elite, So is that the advancement we get after completing yet another trial?’
His thoughts were suddenly much more certain and they had a way to move to. He felt as if his coming to his place was a huge success.
Concealing his excitement Ishiki continued to read further, in hopes of finding more pieces to this puzzle of truth in this diary.
***
I also suspect that this is the future that i have been waken up to. But since I cannot die until the Emperor commands, it is a bit strange.
I am alive… and so is my future self. That I suspect to be the skeleton.
Everything around is a bit strange as well. The grand pillars have been broken down and in their place there are six new obsidian pillars.
Does this depict that something strange has occurred with the Great Gods between the time I am from and the time I woke up to.
Regardless there is one thing that has to be taken note of very seriously.
The Great Mandecium. The reverend god of Reality…
Has been forgotten.
In his place, the Holy cathedral now prays to his son, The angel—Who as described saved the kingdom of Aethelburg after his father couldn’t.
Also there is no mention of his second son… The Angel’s brother and the Demigod of charity.
This is all I have now… I will continue to fulfill my Duty and write what I Witness.
May the great God… no.
May the Angel forgive us.

This part was a little tricky, but not so much for Ishiki. The first thing is that the High Priest who wrote this was also an echo constructed from his own memories.
The memories of the skeleton to be precise.
Ishiki was not too marveled at the fact that the mere projection had so much self consciousness, as his own mother. Who was created from his memories also had a real personality.
’Also This piece confirms that the Emperor is still alive and indeed is an immortal.’
The skeleton was a living… uh, dead proof of that.
’So, the angel of Charity was, Mandecium’s son. And so was the Demigod of Charity.’
Ishiki felt as though he was missing something… actually, he had never before heard of the Demigods.
’Wait… actually i have.’
Remembering something, Ishiki summoned his status screen and then opened the Vestige section quickly.
Then he focused on the Vestige named, [Aether Blade]. A screen containing the information entered his vision.
=======================
Vestige – Aether Blade
Type – Weapon
Rank – Legendry
Adaptability – II
Description – [A blade that exists in the space between seen and unseen. The Demigod of Boundaries crafted this weapon to cut not flesh, but the fabric of reality itself. Its edge appears only when wielded by one who walks between worlds.]
Abilities – Phase Strike, Unnoticed assault
Phase Strike – [The blade manifests only at the moment of impact, passing between two worlds at will.]
Unnoticed assault – [The blade bypasses physical defenses. The wielder may strike through material obstacles as if they were not there.]
=======================
In the description, there it was. The bladeless tachi has been crafted by the Demigod of Boundaries himself.
Ishiki narrowed his eyes and then thought with a stern expression.
’The God was forgotten and in his place one of his Son is being prayed. What exactly happened between the time that was lost.’
Why were the gods forgotten and why is there no mentions of the Demigods?
