"Your memories, we accessed a bunch of things from your mind, the heated table and the mahjong game is something we got from you as well. We need to scan the minds of those who drift in this world to ensure they're not going to cause the destruction of the world." Root, who seemed to be the boss of the three creased her brows and threw a +4 to stack up the cards.

'Oh, we're playing like that? Well, that's more fun than the original rule anyway.' As Colt thought this way, he realized something from Root's words, 'Wait, does that mean they also know about the plot? And can they also see my cards?'

Colt looked at the three and they all avoided eye contact.

"Hey, you three better not be reading my mind…"

"Of course, not! What do you think of us? We're the G.o.ddesses of the world, we will never…cheat. Haha." Darkness said before realizing what she had shown to Colt earlier, in the end, she had to lower her head, "Sorry, it won't happen again."

She said those words and threw another +4, stacking them up further.

'They didn't say anything about the plot…so, am I on the clear?'

Colt thought as much and then watched Light throw another +4. Seeing another +4 being thrown, Colt had his doubts. He lowered his head and saw that there was another on his hand.

'Hmmm, I'm pretty there are only 4 of these cards…so, how come there are so many of them?'

"Someone's cheating here. You should have read my mind already but in the off chance you didn't, there's only supposed to be 4 of these wild cards +4s so why are there five of them? Huh?"

The two older G.o.ddesses were startled by his words. Colt showed them the other +4 in his hand and saw them panicking.

"I-I don't know what you're talking about. W-we've been honest this whole time." Root said three of her cards glowed.

"Yes, yes…this is G.o.ddess hara.s.sment, don't doubt us. We'll smite you." Darkness agreed as almost all of her cards glowed as well.

Colt look over at the little G.o.ddess and ruled her off the cheating group as she saw her pouting at Darkness.

"…"

"Okay, the cheaters are disqualified., agreed?"

"Yes, we're very sorry." The two G.o.ddesses seemed to have learned their lesson.

The ending of the game was Light winning after beating Colt. The other two G.o.ddesses were disqualified. While starting another round of the friends.h.i.+p ending game, Colt began questioning the G.o.ddess.

All of them seem to have no knowledge of the plot as they do not say anything about it to them. He doesn't understand them, but it appears they understand him very well.

They also know about Earth as they read his mind while he was drifting to this world to replace the original's position. Throwing the cards on the table, Colt lied on the white ground and asked them a simple question.

"Hey, do you guys know what I'm supposed to do?"

Having been in this world for so long. Colt no longer knows what it is that he needs to do. He had been living the best he can but still, he felt like what he is doing is not something he should do.

The G.o.ddesses looked at Colt, bewildered from his seemingly weird question. Root put the cards on her hand down and smiled, "Young Drifter, do you even know why you are here?"

"No, that's why I'm asking you guys. Aren't you supposed to be G.o.ds? The strongest beings in the universe? Both omnipotent and omniscient, you guys should know what I should do, right?"

Hearing his words made Light snicker, "Hehe, that's now how G.o.ds works. We are powerful, yes, but we are not all-powerful or all-knowing. We can create life but we still have boundaries, and we may have access to everyone's mind but we don't like dictating others what they should do. Humans, Dwarves, Elves, Demons, Beastmen, and Magical Beasts have their own paths only they could tread.

"We can do everything we do, but just like you saw we also have boundaries like we're playing a game. Don't fear to try to do what you want, if you think what you're doing is right then pursue it if you think it will end badly but still want to go and do it, just go. Consequences will come for later. Though the boundary should be placed, of course, decide to destroy the world and we'll send someone after you. Oh yeah, I already chose my…@#$#@ [email protected][email protected]!#$ #@%#"

Light wanted to say some more things but Darkness stopped her from talking.

Seeing this made Colt sigh, "Is there some world-ending catastrophe happening?"

"Would you believe it if I tell you no?"

"No."

"Then your question is already answered. Dammit Light, why are you so talkative? Well, I want to tell you more but it seems like time is up. You're waking up already. I want to say, see you next time but I don't we'll see each other again. But, hey, what do you know, we might just see you again next time."

As Darkness aid, those words, Colt's body began to float away. Slowly, he was lifted from the ground, his time in that world of pure white was over.

"Aw, I liked being here, can't you guys do something about it?"

Root shook her head, "We can but you have been here for far too long. The flow of time here and there is not the same, well, you'll know what I mean once you awaken, and if we keep you here any longer than your wife might kill everyone."

"Is that so, such a shame then."

Colt sighed but he didn't feel like he was losing out. Just before he was going to disappear, he heard Root call out to him.

"Mortal, can you do me two favors? In return, I'll tell you something interesting."

Though Colt didn't want to say yes, this information coming from a G.o.ddess. It felt like he needs to hear her out so he was forced to nod his head.

Root smiled at his answer, "Then, listen, there is no destiny or fate in the world. But you attract too many of a problem so if you don't get stronger soon, you'll die. Listen to your Partner's request and you shall receive a bountiful amount of benefits."

"That's all?" disappointed, Colt began contemplating on what he should do, and as he saw Root smiling as she succeeded on making Colt promise to do her a favor, the decision was settled in his mind, "G.o.ddess Light, G.o.ddess Root was also cheating at the Mahjong game earlier!"

Colt disappeared leaving an awkward silence in the white world. Light and Darkness looked at Root shuffling the card.

"Really? Big sis? Just, really?"

"…I'm sorry."

Colt was returning to the world of the Mortals. At the moment, he is feeling rather light and his mind was full of questions. As his soul got dragged away, information began flooding his mind. The favor of the G.o.ddess had arrived.

He rummaged through his memories and began uncovering the information he received. And as he managed to gather his thoughts, the only thing he could say about the favor was, "f.u.c.k."

Regalus Kingdom, Tiger Mansion, the mansion had been in a state of worry for two weeks now. The Young Master of the Edgeworth Family is currently in a coma.

There is not a single problem with his body, even his cut off left arm had been reattached. But his mind, it has yet to respond to any calls.

However, on the night of a full moon. Colt abruptly opened his eyes. As he did so, he felt someone gripping tightly on his hand. He turned to the right and there, he saw Mina who had a sunken face and dark circles under her eyes.

She was trembling from both being weakenef and happy. Colt saw this and whispered, "I'm hungry, let us go eat."

Mina nodded then a crying fat white cat jumped on Colt's face.

"NYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

The cries of cat echoed throughout the mansion. The young master has awaken.
