When morning came, Evan found his mind filled with new memories belonging to his other self. Aside from the vivid dream, he could now access scattered fragments of memories and experiences. Most of them were hazy and of little use, as they came from his other self's early childhood. Even so, they gave him a clearer picture of his family's life with Reid. They had seemed genuinely happy, with loving parents who rarely, if ever, argued, and siblings who cared deeply for one another. In every sense, they had been the picture of a perfect family. That happiness, however, hadn't lasted. From what he could piece together, their parents had died sometime during Reid's teenage years. His mood was already low that morning. Who would be after being forced to watch the perfect life of an alternate version of themselves? It was nothing more than a cruel reminder of his own miserable past. Life wasn't fair. He had accepted that long ago, but did it really need to rub it in his face? He headed straight for the shower, hoping the cold water would help wake him up. As the chilly spray washed over him, Evan once again pondered why he was here in the first place. This world already had its own Evan. One who was well-adjusted and already shared a strong bond with Reid. Someone who would undoubtedly become an important figure in the future, perhaps even the savior of the world. So what was the point of him being here? Had the System dragged him into this world for fun? Was it truly that bored? Muttering under his breath, he said, "Say, System, what exactly is your plan for me? Are you expecting me to save the world or something?" Silence answered him, and Evan assumed the System was ignoring him. Then a blue screen suddenly appeared before his eyes. [New Quest!] [Objective: Reach the end of your journey and find your answer.] Evan squinted at the new mission. "What's with the ridiculously vague wording?" Reach the end of his journey? Find his answer? What was that even supposed to mean? Was he expected to simply live out his life until old age? Or was there some grand quest he was meant to complete? There was not even a reward listed. "You're messing with me again, aren't you?" Evan sighed. The System did not respond. After finishing his shower, Evan changed into a red flannel worn over a T-shirt and paired it with a pair of dark pants. When he stepped out of his room, he found Reid busy cooking in the kitchen once again. "Good morning," Reid said. "Did you sleep well?" "Not bad," Evan replied as he sat down at the dining table and watched Reid fry a few slices of bacon. He wondered if Reid had always been the one doing the cooking. Had his other self ever learned to cook? How had they divided the household chores? Surely Reid hadn't been the one handling all the cooking, cleaning, and other responsibilities by himself. Once again, Evan lamented how little the memory transfer had actually given him. None of the answers he wanted were there. Maybe, once they returned from the Assessment Center, he could at least help by sweeping and mopping the apartment. A few minutes later, Reid set two plates on the table. Each held fluffy scrambled eggs beside two slices of golden-brown toast glistening with melted butter, with a few strips of crispy bacon resting on the side. Their savory aroma quickly filled the apartment. The two ate breakfast while chatting idly. Most of the conversation consisted of Reid asking whether Evan still felt sore or had any lingering issues from the previous day. Naturally, the answer was no. Reid’s Sacred Light had healed even the worst of his injuries, including the cut on his eyelid that Evan had been certain would leave a scar. Instead, it had closed completely without a trace. The concern in Reid's expression made Evan wonder if Reuel had always been this warm and attentive. Recalling the battles and missions Reuel had gone through in Chronicles of a Demon Hunter, the answer was no. Reuel was one of those cold, aloof protag
