The two of them arrive back at Zuram Toran in time to see the sun set.

"To think I'd get to see such a beauty today!" Raymond remarks as he sees the sky turn a beautiful light pink. The Orbs around Vivian begin tuning a solid blue as she looks at Raymond. She grabs Raymond by his shoulder, and turns him around as she slams him into the ground, cracking it. "Explain Yourself, Now!" Vivian says very harshly as she glares at him.

"What do you mean?" Raymond says as he looks up she is barely damaged due to his body still being magically enhanced.

"Don't bullshit me, Raymond Joy Oden was supposed to die today! Now who the fuck are you and why are you here!?" Vivian exclaims sternly as she continues to glare and pin him to the ground.

"That's what I would like to know!" Raymond shouts in response. "As I was living my life in my old world and when I finally thought I'd die of old age, I wake up in the body of a 20 year old, who for some reason has about 70 years of memories since he died in the future and came back into the past and ended up getting himself killed!" Raymond remarks as he goes off. "I Expected my life to End at 7631 years, Not to continue onward." He sighs as Vivian looks at him in confusion.

"I'm sorry what? I expected you to be a Soul Spirit or Soul Spectre, but based off of what you said, it seems like that's not the case." Vivian says as she sighs and relaxes herself, and stops pinning Raymond to the ground. The orbs around her begin to fade. Raymond gets up and dusts himself off.

"I think it would be best if we head inside first." He says as he looks over at her, then heads inside. Vivian nods her head in agreement as she follows behind. The two of them decide to change into their pajamas since they will probably head to bed after chatting. After twenty minutes Vivian walks into the lounge room and sees Raymond standing there waiting for her.

"So how are we going to do this?" She asks as she walks over and stands next to him.

"Well, I was thinking I'll explain who I am, and then you explain who you are and then we each ask each other questions, and we can say anything we don't want to. We will also be using this." Raymond suggests as he holds out two strange crystals.

"Ah, so it will basically be like introductions and a debate but with truth crystals, sounds good to me." Vivian says as she grabs one of the crystals and sits down.

"Exactly!" Raymond says with a soft smile. "So I guess I'll start first if that's okay?" Raymond asks as he looks over at her.

"Sounds like a plan." She says casually, interested in what will be said.

"So first things first, My name is Raymond Joy Oden and in my world I was around 7631 years old when I died. If I calculate it by the time of this world, I'm about 1006 years old." Raymond says as he introduces himself with the crystal glowing a bright green.

"Wait, so your name is actually Raymond Joy Oden, even in your previous world?" Vivian questions out of curiosity.

"Yup, I was surprised to find out that I had taken over the body of a kid who shared the same name as me." Raymond says with the crystal glowing green again.

"Interesting! So it seems like we're pretty much the same age." Vivian remarks with a smile. "My name is Vivian Flora Nole, and I came back from the future after being betrayed in war. I was able to live to 1006 despite living a life of war." Vivian says as she looks back on how she died and clenches her hand tightly and sighs as the crystal glows green. "Okay, so I have a question. You said that if you calculate it by the time of this world you are 1006 years old, was your old world that much different?" Vivian asks after about a minute of thinking.

"Well, it's rather simple. In Ubidar there are 70 seconds in a minute, 70 minutes in an hour, 56 hours in a day and 764 days in a year. While on Feldoiya, there are 40 seconds in a minute, 40 minutes in an hour, 14 hours in a day, and 1234 days in a year. It seems like the seconds are the same tho, so all I had to do was the math." Raymond explains casually as if it only took him a few seconds to figure out.

"Something tells me you were rather smart in your last life." Vivian remarks as she attempts to think about the conversion, and gives up.

"Well I was a tactician for a while, and then after the war ended from me uniting the world, I was known as a sage and became a teacher. After about several thousand years I decided to start exploring more of my other hobbies, so I spent the majority of my life learning about my hobbies." He explains and smiles softly.

"I see, so that would explain a little bit." Vivian remarks as she thinks about her interactions with him.

"What do you mean?" He questions not understanding what she means.

"Don't worry about it, just me mumbling to myself." She says dodging the question. The Two of them go back and forth not learning much about their history, but more about their hobbies, likes and dislikes. This continues until around 49:61. Vivian smiles as she notices the time. "I think we should probably start heading to bed as it's getting rather late." Vivian says as she brings their conversation to a close. Raymond looks over at the clock and nods in agreement.

"That's true. In That case I hope you sleep well, I will probably be quite a bit longer before I end up heading to bed." Ray says with a bright yet soft smile on his face. "It's been rather fun chatting like this, I hope we get to do it again at some point." He says as he sets down the truth crystal as it glows green.

"Well then, I guess we'll have to plan to do this again at a later date." Vivian says with a soft smile in response. "I also hope you sleep well when you get the chance." Vivian says as she stands up from the couch and stretches she yawns a bit. She then heads to her room and lies down in her bed. {Today was rather interesting, I wasn't expecting to meet Raymond today of all people.} She thinks as she sits there for a little bit. She tears up as she thinks about something. "At least this life won't end up the same way my last life did." She says softly as she starts crying a bit. After a few more minutes of crying she eventually heads to bed and sleeps soundly now that she doesn't have to worry too much about the future. Raymond smiles as stands atop Zuram Toran looking up at the night sky. As he sits there enjoying the night sky a small soft light appears next to him. He looks over and sees the soft light and looks at it in confusion as it begins to take shape. As it finishes taking its shape, Raymond smiles as he realizes what's happening.

"Come to think of it, I never did give you a name did I?" Raymond questions as he watches the orb of light elongate, turning into the sword he forged before he died. The sword glows a soft violet in response to his words. He smiles softly as he begins thinking of a name that would suit his sword. After about a minute of thinking he manages to come up with a name for the sword. "I think I shall name you Platina Soluna Midnight." Raymond says as he looks back at the serene night sky. The Sword glows brightly in response, signaling that she likes the name. He smiles bright as he begins telling her about his day. After about a half hour he smiles as he notices the time. "Well then Platina, I will chat with you tomorrow as well, it was fun telling you about my day." Raymond says with a soft smile as he looks over at Platina. She glows brightly in response to his words, then vanishes back into his body through a beam of light. Raymond looks up once more at the night sky as it approaches midnight and smiles brightly. He teleports inside the house, then makes his way to his bedroom. He looks around his room and looks at the bed. {Well then, seems like I'll have to use a bed despite not having used one for all of these years.} Raymond thinks as he smiles and heads to bed with a smile on his face thinking about what to do with the future.
