Welcome back. I like how I can take a break, but know that this book will go down as one of my best books ever, along with POTPP, Ruin, and many others. Just a friendly reminder that I write other books too. Make sure to check them out as well.

With that, Enjoy...

Stelle and I decided to go to Herta's office collectively, so that's what we did. We walked toward the door of Herta's office, where two guards were present. 

"Special orders by Herta herself," I said. 

...

They moved to the side. We then enter Herta's office. I will say... not much. It's definitely a let down, but its still cool regardless.

We walk up to Herta, who notices our presence.

"There you two are," she says.

"H-How did you--?" Stelle asked. 

"I haven't moved. What your seeing here is one of my remote-controlled puppets. They're all over the station. I just connect to one whenever i'm needed," Herta explains.

Me: That might be the most logical answer to "How does the NPC suddenly in a whole 'nother location?"

Gojo: Shoutout to Hoyoverse for being the first... I think.

"Enough chit-chat you two, Herta says, "Gojo, Stelle-- I am working on a big project with a few colleagues. If we succeed, it will answer the ultimate question that has been puzzling us to thousands of Amber Eras; the truth about Aeons..." 

...

...

...

"What the fuck is that?" I asked.

"Language! And Aeons are mystical existences in our universe. Some humans have even managed to obtain that power as well!" Herta explains, "Kinda hard to explain the mysteriousness surrounding them though..."

"How were they created? Why were they created? What were they created for? Have you ever thought about these questions?"

...

...

...

"Do you want the answer that'll satisfy you, or the truth?" I ask.

"What does this have to do with me?" Stelle asks.

"Well indeed, It has nothing to do with you, but we need you and Gojo for this. Stelle, I'll make this worthwhile for the both of you," Herta tells us.

"The four geniuses of the society wrote a program together. You see the big machine in the office? That machine contains a universe, just like the universe we're in, but it's more streamlined and customized," Herta explains. She then points behind her.

"I call it, The Metaverse!"

...

...

...

"Can we not get copyright marked for trademark rights?" I asked.

"Yeah...Don't ride the hype train, " Stelle said.

Me: ...

Gojo: It's in the game! You can't blame me!

Me: I'll let it slide...

"Oh...really? That's what my partner's said as well," Herta says.
