Chapter 365: Empty House
The door swung open, revealing the sight inside.
However, Rael’s brows soon furrowed when he realized that it was completely empty.
It was almost like that thought had simply been cut from Alcetas’s mind, leaving the interior completely blank.
But when he turned back toward Alcetas, he was met with a sigh.
"That is what I’m trying my best to figure out," he said. "What is inside, and why exactly do I see this brick house? What does it tie to? Is it my past, or something else?"
"I’ll help you," Rael replied plainly. "But only if you tell me everything that you’ve been hiding from me. By that, I mean this entire Shadow Creation machine bullshit. Why did it start out of nowhere, as well as this sudden interest in my identity?"
"Very well..." Alcetas took a few steps backward and sat down on the grass beside the vegetable garden, then patted the ground beside him.
Rael simply shook his head. They weren’t buddies, so he definitely wasn’t sitting down next to him.
Noticing that, Alcetas shrugged and began his explanation.
"The Shadow Creation machine was started because Solenne wanted to clone you. She wanted to make a shadow out of you, one that she could mold however she pleased."
"Would my shadow have my skills?" Rael asked.
"It would have everything," Alcetas replied. "Your habits, your skills, your bloodlines. Everything."
