The Wrong Jason Singularity

Chapter 13

Chapter 13: A friendly reminder

     After the unknown variant introduces himself, Jason looks around at his surroundings. The person doesn't seem offended by the fact as he looks as peaceful and dreamy as ever. How he did that with his luminous eyes, Jason didn't know. He look around the place and found that he was inside a cave together with this person. Cave– why does it be another cave this time? He was already living in a cave. And this time, he was in a cave again. Other than the obvious characteristic of this place being a cave,  there was also a lot of poppies growing around and Jason saw that there was also a river not quite far from the distance. For a few moments, Jason listened. He frowned when he noticed that there is no light coming out from the outside or did he hear any sound from the flowing river. He decided to take a small little step but before he can do that, he was stopped.

" It would be better for you if you don't step forward towards the river. "

Luminous sunken eyes stared at him. Jason thought that it was creepy.

" Even you are in a dream, being near the river of forgetfulness may still cause you to lose your memories. "

Jason instantly backs away from his plan of looking at the river. He stared at the person or should he say God in front of him.

" Somos? You're lying it isn't your name. "

Jason doesn't remember anyone from the Greek Pantheon bearing that kind of name. Even though his memories are faulty, the name doesn't ring a bell.

" You're Hades or maybe Charon. "

For a few moments, God stare at him before he started laughing.

" Hahahahahahahaha.....Hades? Heh... No, I am not one of the former machine gods. "

His eyes were glowing with mirth. Jason watched as poppies started blooming on the person's head. A strange thought Crosses his mind that maybe the person in front of him is Persephone. It wasn't strange, isn't it? Considering that they are in Nasuverse. Specifically, the fate one. It wouldn't be strange if someone was gender-bend on this franchise.

" You are quite close to your guess on the latter, but I am not my sibling Charon. "

Jason carefully stared at God. He can't still guess who he is. But God has given him a clue with his statement. He was also distracted that even this was a dream, he was still in the underworld! Well, specifically at the Greek version of Underworld. Aristaeus also didn't mention something like this happening. But considering what happened earlier, Aristaeus didn't mention that he even need to sleep. That God of Beekeeping is annoying.

" I can wait for eternity for you to guess my identity but I can say it now if you don't have the patience."

No, he didn't have the patience to wait.

" Can I ask God's name? "

Jason questioned in his most polite and respectful manner possible. If Jason somehow offended this God, he may never leave again in this dream. He was afraid of something like that happening to him.

" I am the God of Dreams Hypnos. But you can also call me Somos if you want. Somnus is my Roman equivalent while Hypnos is the Greek One. Combine the two and you will get the Somos. "

Jason stared at the self-proclaimed god of dreams suspiciously. There is still no Roman Pantheon at this time. How can he know about it?

" Do you have the ability to see the future? "

Jason asked. He also thought that how can his desire to learn magic lead to something complicated like meeting another God?

" My authority as the God of Dreams isn't capable of guessing the future. "

The god of dreams looks at him with a peaceful smile. Yet, at the answer, Jason can only feel dread.

" So far, all of the mortal and demi-god's that I have seen, you are the one with the most interesting dreams that I have ever seen aside from my friend. "
Yes, he has seen it.

" Don't be afraid, Diomedes. Or should I say, Jason? I have no plans of revealing your secret to anyone. "

Despite the mounting dread,
Jason decided to ask.

" Why should I believe you? "

" You don't need to believe in me. But I am just someone who was waiting for my friend to be awakened. Hmmm... looks like your visit time is running out in this place. I can't entertain you in this place for long.... "

The god of dreams Hypnos plucked one of the poppies from his head and give it to Jason. The latter was confused and cautious as he accepted the flower.

" A gift for what would you eventually face in the future. With certainty, your plans and actions would enrage the Fates. Even it was unknown to them that you have replaced the original owner of the body— they would make certain that you would be engraved in their tapestry with their strings. "

Jason clenched his fist when he heard God's statement. The poppy flower that was given by the God of dreams was crushed in his hand.

" I wouldn't end up dying pathetically. Being crushed by a dilapidated Argo— I won't become like that guy! "

" I know that you are determined to change that guy's face. But I want to remind you of one important thing... Looking at your mind through your dreams, I wanted to you know that this isn't a place that you think of. This world isn't a pan-human history nor it is the lost belt Olympus. The 12 machine gods were still defeated by Sefar and they are remade and became the Olympians. But the Chaos have arrived at Earth earlier and no infighting happened while the Titans and Machine Gods are on the ship. The Sefar of this world arrived when the Titanomachy happened. The Titans and Machine Gods united to defeat Sefar but they are defeated. The Sefar of this world is stronger.  "

Jason didn't know what he want to say. It was relieving to know that he wasn't in the pan-human fate grand order version or even the lost belt one. It gives him insight into his current situation. And also give him shivers that Velber 02 was stronger in this one. Finally, after a moment of contemplation. Jason narrowed his eyes as he stared at the God of dreams.

" I am thankful for the information, but what would you get by informing me of my situation? "

" Well, this world isn't so simple as you thought it to be. In the future, I want your help. "

A god asking a help of a mortal. Even it was an unusual mortal, Jason thought that it was ridiculous. What kind of trouble would it be for a god to need his help?

The god of dreams stared at him sadly.

" I want to stop this world from being culled by Alaya shortly. "

Culled? No way... Jason doesn't how should he react in this situation. Jason decided to listen

" It wasn't this world's fault to be chosen as a playground of  ————————... Hmm, it looks like that it wasn't your time to hear it yet if I'm not still allowed to say them. Yet it was also surprising that I was allowed to say many things to you. Maybe it has to do where you have come from? Anyway, once you woke up you shouldn't be surprised when you learned something of your element. I think that learning your origin would be more interesting and surprising for you, my dreaming friend.  "

With those words, Jason felt himself returning to reality.

------------------------------

When Jason woke up, he was still disoriented. But he can hear what Aristaeus was muttering to himself.

" Element, Aether, and Charisma? Two unique elements? No, this is strange... He has two. no, three elements? His origin was also three? Unusual! This is unusual! What kind of monster does Chiron decide to teach this time? I'm certain that Diomedes would become more of a headache than his previous student Heracles. "

Jason was certain that this kind of thing would bring trouble to him.
