Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 327

Athena frowned, glancing over the texts.

"It’s fantasy?"

"Yes, it’s all fantasy. But if we think about it the other way, you took inspiration from the dreams and everything you saw there was fantasy."

He continued.

"What I think is…. The Records contain information about everything that happened after the Apocalypse Era.

"They don’t have all information, just the information of the time after Apocalypse era, not from before."

"How is my novels being fantasy related to the information of the Records?" she questioned.

"If your novels were based on information before the Apocalypse Era, the genre would’ve been realism, urban, war military, teenage romance.

"My point is, the genre couldn’t have been fantasy as no fantasy elements existed in the era before the Apocalypse." Daniel explained.

"Huh-uh." She nodded, signaling for him to continue.

"The only realism genre story idea your diary has is this," he said, pointing at the Euphemia short story scribbled in faded ink.

"What about her?" Athena asked, curiosity mingling with confusion.

"Now, if all information in the Records is from the Apocalypse Era and the eras after, why is Euphemia’s story here? She exists in an era that is thousands of years before the Apocalypse."

"Maybe that Euphemia story is just a normal idea and not from the Record," she suggested.

"Maybe you’re right, but for now, let’s just say it is from the Record," Daniel said. "Now answer my question.

"Why is Euphemia’s information present in the Record even though it shouldn’t be there? What makes her unique?"

"Because she is a Child of Mana…?"

Her tone was filled with uncertainty.

"Yes! And what’s different about Children of Mana?" Daniel pressed.

"We can access Records?"

"Exactly!"

Daniel spoke at a fast pace, his excitement barely contained.

"I think accessing Records isn’t normal.

"Let’s say Records exist in a library which is in a separate dimension.

"The Records can be accessed only once.

"To access the Records repeatedly, the Children of Mana need to leave a part of themselves inside the library," he said.

"What?"

Athena looked at Daniel with a strange gaze.

The theory was too far-fetched even for her and she was an author.

"I know what you are thinking, but I can prove my theory.

"Answer my questions and you’ll see," Daniel said in a calm voice.

"Go on," Athena replied.

"Can you input information in the Records?" Daniel questioned.

"No," Athena answered. "I can only take out information."

"What about other Children of Mana? Can they input information?"

"They can’t. I’m sure of it," she spoke with certainty.

"Why?"

"It’s... a feeling. I can tell only the creator of the Records can edit or change the information."

"Bingo!" Daniel let out a triumphant smile.

"Children of Mana can’t input the information. So how did Euphemia’s information appear inside the Records?"

Daniel continued,

"It shouldn’t be there since the Records contain information of the Apocalypse era and the eras that came after."

"..."

Athena became silent.

Daniel answered himself.

"A part of Euphemia is there. She told you her information."

"...Let’s say if your theory is true. Why would she tell me the information?"

"I don’t know about that. Maybe she is bored?"

Athena sighed, leaning against the chair.

Daniel’s theory sounded convincing.

But it had no solid basis.

For one, what would he do if the information about Euphemia was just a story she wrote and not actual knowledge taken from the Records?

Daniel understood her concerns.

The unknown gnawed at both of them.

Time passed as Daniel continued his research, traveling across ancient ruins and forgotten libraries, searching for more information.

The world outside was vast, filled with remnants of lost civilizations, overgrown forests reclaiming stone fortresses, and winds whispering secrets of old.

Another Child of Mana appeared a few dozen years later.
