In the previous lifetis, in the previous loops, Aranus had always regretted one thing.
He had been forced to leave Earth and his relations behind.
He was unable to care for his dying sister, he was unable to et his grandparents again after being separated, and he was finally unable to get revenge for his Parent's slaughter.
It was the regret that haunted him in every iteration, each and every ti he was unable to resolve these regrets.
Could it be helped? He was hopping from World to World slaughtering everything after he had been controlled by the Abyss.
He had tried to make ands but it was futile every ti, In so iterations, the Abyss had even tricked him into killing his own sister and family...and he never trusted it again even in the slightest bit.
Each and Every ti, it haunted him and he was unable to do anything...but watch.
He was the most outstanding talent, with a soul and body capable of Handling the evolution into a Dragon, then Chaos Dragon, and then An Abyssal dragon.
But sadly...he had been tricked on the wrong path since his awakening.
And when he gave control to Jas when his soul had suffered greatly...Jas didn't even care for the Liabilities that were his family.
But Could he be blad? He had been abused so severely by the ones he considered 'family'.
That very 'family' of his had turned him into a ruthless cold monster who only sought money and success...
Jas didn't give a single damn about anyone other than him.
But now...Aranus's regrets could be solved by soone else.
It could be solved by the child who still knew nothing about himself, or his purpose...it could be solved by Alan Peccator...the one that was still unknown.
Maybe this ti...sothing would go right.

[Alan Peccator PoV]
From the beginning...it didn't seem right to .
How could two orphaned children, who had seen their parents be brutally murdered, not be handed over to any remaining relatives but be given to a random ass orphanage?
Aranus and Samantha's grandparents were still alive, and...I thought it was because of Poverty that maybe the children were not handed to them...but.
The house they lived in was quite fine for a supposedly poor family...According to my mories at least.
But I also can't trust my mories...neither do I know enough about the law.
...And it's also weird that the demon responsible for their deaths has no records at all...I need to ask MAxwell to perform a more thorough investigation.
"Would you like so tea?"
I was interrupted from my thoughts by the woman who was Aranus and Samantha's Grandmother. Amanda Peccator.
"...Ah..No I'm Fine."
I said, my voice still shaky...and I'm oblivious to the reason why...
'Damn I didn't want to do this?'
"How about coffee?"
She said as she massaged the head of the sleeping Samantha on her lap.
...it seed that she would not give up unless I say yes.
"Yes..."
I answered...and she excused herself whilst I looked at Samantha.
'Wow, she had no qualms at all.'
I had thought she maybe had forgotten them due to being separated for so long...and past traumatic events but I guess that wasn't the case.
'I should ask Max and Alice to research more on this...'
I thought...and Amanda Peccator had co back with two cups of coffee.
'Fast...'
I thought, surprised at the speed at which she brought the coffee.
She sat in front of and then silently drank her cup of coffee...as I was oblivious as to what to say.
I don't know about this stuff... I am nervous.
I do not know how to reconcile with my family...I don't even know where to begin!
"I'm happy for you."
?
I sat there in silence, she began the conversation whilst I could not.
"We were deathly worried for you, After we failed to get custody of you and Sam, We didn't even know where to find you. It was all a mystery and most of our attempts to reach or know about you and Sam were futile...We had lost hope until two years ago...when we heard the na Alan Peccator the first spatial type awakened..."
"It was a surprise at first..we had failed to find out about you and then all of sudden you show up on the news... and next thing you are part of a guild called...?"
"Twilight."
I said, completing her sentence.
"forgive for not knowing much about the awakened world..."
She said, apologizing for a aningless reason.
Mustering up my courage...I asked.
"Why...didn't you co to visit when You had co to know?"
A...weird question...This a question that I regretted asking as soon as I said it...wishing to be able to take the words back.
"Because If we suddenly appeared after you had gained fa...It would seem as if we were selfish and only wanted you after you had begun to be known...Im sorry."
"...No need."
I answered her.
"I do not know much about the awakened world...But I heard my grandson was admitted to a prestigious school and was also ranked first. I also heard that you had an affinity for a special elent. Your Grandfather would be proud...and So am I."
She said with a smile...whilst I remained quiet...shocked at myself because I could not find any other words to say...until I thought of sothing.
"Thank you...and I apologize for not coming sooner...I should have made ti to co here but I was...afraid."
I said...and she responded with a smile.
"It's fine...I'm just glad your back. Samantha also looks to be doing quite well...Have you.."
"Not yet...unfortunately."
I said, and she looked at her granddaughter with pity and sadness in her eyes.
"Well... it's good she seems to be happy."
She said...stroking Sam's head...and then again to my surprise. Sam, who would wake up at the slightest touch of anyone other than ...was still sleeping soundlessly.
"Grandma..."
I said...struggling to say that word for so...but continued after I had got her attention.
"Why don't you co with to Ashton city?"
I asked...I knew what would happen to Aror and couldn't give a damn about the other residents...but so part of wanted to bring my grandparents away from Danger as soon as possible...Sothing inside of yearned to ensure their safety.
However, I was t with a denial...a shocking one to say the least.
"...I'm sorry but I would like to stay here...and I hope you will as well."
What? why would soone reject fa and money? I can provide them with nearly anything!
"But why? Ashton city is much more advanced than this town and it also has-"
"Alan."
She said..making stop...and then continued.
"Follow this old lady to the back of the house will you?"
She said as she slowly got up and gestured for to follow her to the back of the house, a garden in the backyard...
And there I saw why she was unwilling to leave...and sothing inside of awoke...i Guess i could say.
A reason...to protect this town...this place.
