Legacy of Forgotten Times 82 True or not that is the question!

By the time Jaime finished reading the story, it was already 4pm. So Linri had slept for a good while she assumed that it was safe to wake him up and who knows he might panic again. Thinking about seeing Linri's panicked face Jaime had an unintentional smile on her face but collected her composure shortly after.

The content of the notebook was too shocking so she had to talk to him. She could tell that Linri most likely wrote it himself but the question was where had the information come from? I mean she still remembered that Linri telling him Lyra was not supposed to exist as he had not created her before so it was impossible that he knew something about her.

She slowly made his way to Linri's bed and saw that he was covered in the sheets of the bed. He was quite the messy sleeper. She bent down near his face and suddenly screamed at his ear.

"BOOHHH!!!!" Linri was jolted awake and because Jaime was right above him when he raised his head he accidentally collided with her. His head was hurting from the pain and it was like there was a giant bell inside it. His head was pulsing with the intense pain and the world seemed to be turning.

"FUCK!!" Both Linri and Jaime cursed at the same time. When Linri looked towards he saw that she was holding her mouth and there seemed to be blood dripping between her fingers. She had actually split opened her lower lip.

"What the hell was that for!?" Linri asked feeling annoyed. This was the second time she had done something like this today. If he does not show a strong stance this girl was going to make a habit out of this and he definitely was not a masochist that enjoyed being shouted at every morning.

Jaime did not answer him and made a wait a minute gesture with her hand then took a paper towel from the desk and put it to her lip. While she was dealing with that Linri went to the bathroom to wash his face and take some painkillers. He swore to never pull an all-nighter again but he knew that it was an empty promise.

When he returned to the room he was still a little groggy but at least the pain had lessened by quite a bit.

"So?" Linri asked Jaime who stuck a piece of the paper to the wound.

"Can't you see that I am in pain, be a little more sensitive towards ladies you jerk!" Linri felt frustrated. It was her who made the unnecessary joke and he was still the one being blamed.

"Oh? You were a lady? Never noticed that before." Linri answered her sarcastically.

"Is that so? If you want I can make you one as well I just need to bring my sword" Jaime quipped back against him. Seeing her hateful look Linri shivered and guarded his privates. Seeing him Like this Jaime started to laugh and so did Linri. It felt like they went back in time to those days when they were back in the real world. It was nice to joke like this from time to time.

"Anyway let's go!" Said Linri and turned to leave the room leaving behind a confused Jaime.

"Hey! Where are we going?" Jaime shouted from behind.

"To the lake, of course, where else did you think?" Linri answered while going down the stairs and Jaime suddenly felt enlightened. After living together with them for what felt like an eternity she forgot that Arkady was a werewolf who could spy on their conversations. It was weird though considering every time they needed to talk they would leave the house and she still was not used to that. How could Max constantly keep tabs on things like these?

They slowly made their way to the park with the lake in it. She felt uncomfortable coming back to this place after remembering what happened last time, she even felt a little ashamed. Then she felt angry because of her embarrassment. Ever since meeting Kasaix face to face she always felt like thrash. Something about him always made her feel inferior even more than usual. She remembered a word to define this relationship she had with him; 'Toxic'. It was when the other party would manipulate you emotionally and control your thoughts and always makes you feel bad. Maybe there was a better definition for it but currently, she remembered. Thinking that this was a so-called 'Toxic' relationship was it really a good idea to keep hanging out with him. I mean she could not help liking him but-

"Hey!" Jaime was suddenly pulled away from her thoughts from the shout by Linri.

"Yeah?"

"So what did you think?" Linri asked her while sitting down on the bank facing the lake and signalled Jaime to sit beside him. There were some elders giving bread to the ducks on the lake. Overall it was a peaceful and calming environment.

"It was cringey" Jaime answered to him bluntly which made Linri raise his eyebrows surprised.

"How is it cringey?" Jaime laughed at his question. It seems like he didn't even read what he wrote himself. She was sure that if he did he wouldn't ask a question like this. Then Jaime took out the notebook and opened certain pages.

"Like this part here, it feels like you were being depressive for the sake of it or the whole naming sense the God of Humanity's name was actually Humas? Then how the hell did the word "Human" came to be? I mean there wasn't such a world before the invention of Latin and-" Jaime started to list out all the flaws one by one which made Linri twitch his lips unintentionally. Was he really that bad of an author? Well, at least it was good to know considering at one time he thought about becoming a web novel author as his profession. He was better left as a reader then.

"Okay okay I get it, I suck! Still what about the other thing?"

"Yeah... So is this real? I thought you told me that you hadn't created Lyra and she just appeared after the RP became a reality." Jaime finally asked the important question.

"I don't know" Linri answered honestly and Jaime just looked at him blankly.

"What do you mean you don't know?"

"It's as simple as it sounds."

"Meaning 'YOU' wrote it?" as an answer Linri just nodded his head.

"But why though? Isn't it basically useless considering we are already here?" Jaime asked doubtfully. Honestly, she didn't see the point of him wasting his time with this.

"Now my dear, that's where you are wrong! I wrote the book in your hand just as how I would write it if I were to create Lyra as an actual character, meaning if I had created her in Autumnfall that would be her biography. Can you see where I am coming from?"

"Nope!"

"What do you mean 'NOPE!'. It's pretty obvious if you think about it. If this world is following the rules of our RP Club that would mean every bio created was the truth. If they are true that would mean it follows our thought process. So that would mean if we write as if we are making characters there is a high chance it is the reality in this world." Linri answered agitatedly but Jaime seemed unamused and look at him as if looking at an idiot.

"You are aware that this is reality right? What you are saying is only true that if this world was created by our collective consciousness as role-players but there is another possibility. It is that this world already existed and just coincided with what we played. In simple terms, you can understand it is the multi-verse theory. So that would mean there is no guarantee what we wrote would be true in any way." Jaime spoke in a condescending way.

"That... Well, there is a simple way to prove that isn't there?"

"How are you going to do that? It's not like you are gonna ask Lyra right?" Jaime looked confused as to how to prove it.

"Simple! 'YOU' are going to write one too and we will check if it true or not!"
