Monarch of Gluttony: System of Sin

Even if Raphael had come back to life, thanks to the old man, there was still no way for him to get a score of three million in such a short time. His scoring would've started from scratch if he came back to life after dying once!

"Are you sure you read the name right? It was Raphael?" he repeated the question, still finding it hard. Since he knew how the tower worked, he was having a really hard time believing it.

"I am sure it was that specific name. I saw it just yesterday. Why? You know this person?"

While Azekiel was talking about Raphael being the tower ranking of the middle realms, the Spirit of Raphael and Lia were still with the old man.

The two had just come out of one of the hardest challenges of their life, which took them months to finish. Both of them looked quite hurt, but they also looked very happy as they had finally finished what was said to be their training.

Their Spirit Aura was only stronger now, making them look even more powerful. Their Spirit Strength had multiplied many folds.

"We are done! Are we ready to get our bodies back?" Lia asked the old man. They had been waiting for months for this day when they could be free from all this, and finally, they had an opportunity.

"Not yet." The old man still didn't give in. What he had to do, he knew, was going to take an even longer time.

"This was just the first part of it, getting your Spirits stronger. Now we still need to make sure you get your memories back. Only after you have your memories back can you get your bodies back. Think of your memories as the second step which leads you to your final destination... The third step."

"And how long will that take now?" Raphael asked. He wanted to be free, but he also wanted his memories and his body back. Since they had already wanted months to get themselves stronger, they couldn't just give up now. It would've been like they climbed half the mountain only to go back down just when they were a little short of the peak.

"That depends on you entirely, so I can't make any guess as to how long that specific thing will take." The old man raised his hands innocently as if he had no idea.

"How will we get our memories back?" Even if it was unclear how long it'll take, Raphael at least wanted to know what they had to do so he could make a plan for it.

"How else? It's about your mind, so we'll be stimulating your minds. We'll be going back in time to the moment where you have the last memories of your life. Seeing what happened after that with your own eyes should stimulate your brains to make you remember."

He tapped his right foot on the ground lightly, opening up a portal before him.

"Just remember one thing before we get there. You are only allowed to see and not interfere in anything. It doesn't matter what you see or how badly you want to interfere; you aren't allowed to do anything."

" If you try anything even close to that, things will get out of hand even for me. You'll only be creating more troubles for yourself by trying that. So don't forget... You will be just spectators..."

After giving one last warning, the old man stepped inside the Portal, going back in time. Raphael and Lia also followed the man as well, entering through the portal.

All three of them came out in what appeared like a forest.

"Where are we?" Raphael didn't recognize this place. It wasn't any place he remembered. He was sure it wasn't in his world, so it couldn't be his past. That only meant it was Lia's past!

Seeing Lia's expression, his suspicions were confirmed. The place that looked like an ordinary place was something in Lia's past.

"Kill the Witch!"

"Kill her!"

"She deserves to die!"

They also heard loud chants coming from outside the forest as if a huge crowd was chanting.

Lia recognized those voices and also remembered from what time these memories were. She blankly started walking toward the source of the voice.

Raphael and the old man also followed Lia.

The old man didn't forget to remind Lia once again. "Don't forget... You can't interfere at any cost! You can only watch! It doesn't matter what you see... Don't interfere!"

"I won't..." Lia responded. Even though she was quite angry at all these voices, she also remembered that it was all in her past, and even if she tried to change her past, it was only going to make things worse for her. So it didn't matter what was happening outside the forest.

After a short walk, Lia stepped out of the forest, glancing to her left. Raphael and the old man also came out, looking in the same direction where they saw some women tied to trees.

The woman at the center was none other than Lia. All of them were surrounded by a group of people. Some of the people were finding a burning torch, waiting for Command.

They were all looking toward one particular man... The man that used to be Lia's friend. King Osiris stood in the distance, right beside his royal horse, gazing at Lia.

The change of the citizens only intensified as they all demanded that all witches needed to be burned.

"Do you have anything to say for yourself?" The King asked Lia as if waiting to see her begging for forgiveness or trying to see just how she was going to justify her actions.

Lia didn't answer. She just supported a smirk on her face, looking into the eyes of the Prince. "I don't have anything to say for myself. And why should I? I'm not scared of death... One day, we will all die. Today it's me... Tomorrow it will be you."

"Moreover, you already think you're righteous. Does it change anything even if I say something? In your mind, you'll always be right, even though you're the cause of everything I did!" Lia scoffed.

"How am I the cause of everything that you did?" Osiris asked, shaking his head.

"Your Majesty, don't listen to her. She is only trying to confuse you or to use some mental magic! We should just kill her before she succeeds!" One of the men exclaimed.

The King also agreed in the end. "Do it."

His command echoed in the surroundings.
