[I know you, Nyrel Loyster.]
I read the sentence once.
Then again.
Then a third time, slower this time, as if forcing my eyes over the words long enough would somehow make them rearrange themselves into something else. A joke. A mistake. A random threat. Anything but that.
But the message remained the same.
I know you, Nyrel Loyster.
My heart started pounding so hard it almost hurt, and a knot twisted in my stomach.
No.
No, that didn't make sense.
It wasn't possible.
I had always assumed I was the only one who had been reincarnated into this world. The only one dragged here. The only one cursed enough to know what was coming and forced to act around it.
But if this note was real, then someone else had been sent here too?
"Are you kidding me…"
[
"Wait, Cleenah…" I swallowed, my mouth suddenly dry. "Jarvis."
I called him immediately.
If there was even the slightest chance he knew something, I needed answers now.
[Yes?]
Please.
