Chapter 59 Other Worlders

Himmy couldn’t have made it any clearer; he was from a different world, not the world of Pagna, not the world of Alterian, but another one altogether where in his life he was a detective.

‘Of course, if I was from Alterian, and this is the world of Pagna, then there will always be the chance for people to be from different places. That should have never escaped the realm of possibilities. Just because such cases never happened on Alterian, didn’t mean that they wouldn’t happen here.’ 𝑂𝒱𝑙xt.𝓬𝒪𝑚

Himmy was looking closely at Raze’s facial reactions. He noticed that rather than speak straight away, when something would usually shock others, Raze would stay silent and be deep in thought. These were the observations that he would have done countless times before. He was a creature of many habits.

“How, how did you guys arrive in this world, and what are you doing here?” Raze asked. There was a chance that maybe Charlotte had discovered something similar to Raze, but then what about Himmy? From his statements, his world wasn’t a world of magic.

“We call ourselves otherworlders, and there is more than just me and Charlotte,” Himmy explained. “There is a whole organization of us, which is called Alter. You should do well to remember that name.” Himmy pointed to the top of his head.

“The group is filled with those that aren’t originally from Pagna, some worlds full of technology of great advancements, some from a world of darkness, and others from a world of magic. We may be from different places, but we all arrived in the same way. Pulled into a strange portal that brought us here, just like you.”

Right now, Raze was doing everything he could not to raise his eyebrow or pull a confused face. It was especially hard, because the way Himmy was talking was as if he was all-knowing and confident, but that wasn’t how Raze had arrived here.

‘They were pulled, so right now, they are in the same bodies as they were before. But in my case, it was a transmigration.’

“There are two main goals of the Alter organization,” Himmy displayed using two of his fingers, and with his other hand, he had them shaped like a V placed close to his lips. He took a deep breath in, and then blew a large one out while curling his lips into the shape of an O. It was one of the strangest things Raze had ever seen. Little did he know this was one of Himmy’s habits he was unable to just forget.

“The first is to gather the otherworlders. As they are brought into this world, they will be full of shock and also know things that those of Pagna do not. Depending on who they are, they could bring great problems for this world.

“But I’ll be honest, most of the time that doesn’t happen. Although those from Pagna speak the same language, the writing they use, the numbers among other things are greatly different, and so is the culture.

“Before we from Alter can even reach them, they usually end up being killed or executed by a Pagna warrior or clan. The amount of times I have heard the words ‘You are courting death’ are too many to count.”

Having transmigrated into a body that was from Pagna, Raze didn’t have this problem. Yet still, he had come close to meeting his end, in the current situation he was in.

“The people that we look out for most though, are those from Alterian,” Himmy continued. “This is because they have the greatest effect on this world. I’m sure you might have already heard about the portals that open up to other dimensions and the portal breaks?”

Raze nodded. On Alterian, portals could be opened but they closed up as well, unlike that on Pagna, and a portal break was unheard of. The portals that were here were clearly different.

“The portals seem to strongly react to Mana and Magic,” Charlotte explained. “Small uses of magic are fine here and there, but if a large amount is used up at once, a portal will open nearby. It’s not always because of us that portals open up, but we have to be careful since it can greatly affect those that are here.”

“Is it only Pagna?” Raze asked. “What if magic is used in the portals in the other dimensions?”

“That seems to have no effect,” Charlotte replied. “It’s only in Pagna. It’s one of the main reasons we try to track down any otherworlder and inform them of what is happening. Otherwise, we could be the cause of the collapse of a whole civilization before we know it.”

These people, Raze, didn’t quite understand their actions. Why were they going so far out of their way to help the people of Pagna, and help the otherworlders? Was there any benefit to them? Or were they just trying to be good people?

With the people Raze knew, perhaps the gathering of otherworlders, there was another goal behind it.

“Didn’t you say before that you knew I was here, there has been no portal break here, so what made you think that?” Raze asked.

Before answering, Himmy did the same action as he did before with his hand, making the shape of the V and blowing out.

“We had suspicions that there might be one, but in truth, the reason why we are here is related to another matter. It is due to the second goal of the Alter,” Himmy explained and then motioned as if throwing something on the floor and twisting it with his foot.

He started to walk over to Raze, and his overbearing size became quite apparent. He stayed one meter away while looking Raze right in the eye.

“Before I tell you the second goal of us Alter, I need you to answer me honestly. Are you the one behind the murders going on in this town, and are you the one that did harm to that disciple?” Himmy asked.
