Death Guns In Another World

''Indeed, in the past, they existed beings called Gods; these beings were strong, the epitome of strength, the strongest on their continent. There was the Elf monster Typhania; even among the Gods, she was feared as she was strong; no, she was the strongest, following her was another High Elf, a master swordsman, and a highly-skilled Archer, Elesim. Then there was the Destruction Mage Emilia, a powerful Fire Goddess, stronger than her, standing on top of the human continent was Artemia.''

When she heard Artemia's name, unconsciously Lilith gulped, she was starting to piece together the whole thing, and she was afraid that her speculation would be true. 

The young Lilith, no, at this point, she should be called her past self, chuckled before continuing with her story. 

''Where I was? Yeah, I was talking about Artemia; she could be classed second among the Gods, right behind Typhania. Moving on, there was the God of Smith, Aphros, pretty good at creating artifacts such good armor and weapons that could compete with Gift, a dwarf; there was his brother that traitor.'' The past Lilith's eyes turned murderous, but she quickly shook her head to continue. 

'I guess she couldn't control her emotions so well.' Lilith concluded and continued to listen. 

''Then there was the Demon Goddess Lilith; you must have pierced the puzzle together, right?" The Lilith from the past asked, and Lilith nodded.

''You meant to say I'm the reincarnated demon's goddess, right?''

The Lilith from the past nodded, then Lilith became more confused. Although the Gods were powerful, it shouldn't be to the extent that they could plan their reincarnation after death; they must be a reason, something this person used in order to reincarnate her. 

''I'm curious; you must have used an item to reincarnate yourself after getting killed; however, it wasn't perfect because I become incomplete.'' 

''Not quite correct; we deliberately did this." 

''We?" Lilith asked with a question mark above her head. This meant she wasn't the only one to have been reincarnated; they must exist other as well.

''Wait, you couldn't be implying that Artemia is also a reincarnated goddess, will you?" 

The Lilith from the past chuckled, ''Indeed, she the reincarnated Human Goddess. It's only recently she acquired her missing power to help her quickly climb up. However, unlike you, she didn't lose her memories after the reincarnation, even this was done deliberately. We acquire a certain item in a very particular dungeon, you see, and it became useful soon after we opened the Pandora box and let out that calamity. No, think about we might have acted because of curiosity, we wished to find our origin beyond this world, go into the higher worlds after coming from that very unusual and unique dungeon; however, even it wasn't us, someday someone else would have acted. It's good that you and your friend have come a little more, and I wouldn't be able to stop them from getting me. Although I don't know exactly what happened outside, however, I could feel the ominous air, a big storm was coming, and he was about to wake up. If we fail this time, maybe Mysthia's world will be no more. So, let's hurry; it's about to become stormy outside.''

Lilith sighed; although there were many things she wished to say, she stopped asking them. She knew she would get those answers after assimilating this person; however, there was still something she was hesitant about; what if all of this was a ploy arranged by her brother to take over her body?

As if she could see through Lilith's worry, Lilith from the past chuckled.

''It's good to be suspicious, but you should know that I'm mere soul fragment borrowing your Gift body; I mean no harm, and you could feel it. I know what you went through. However, I want to ask you a question.'' 

''Go ahead,'' Lilith said she could more or less guess what question she was about to ask. 

''This power, what do you wish to do with it? Revenge?" The Lilith from the past black eyes were like the eyes of a judge.

It was Lilith's turn to chuckle; she immediately answered the question.

''Revenge is just one of my goals; protecting my people is another one my goals. So don't worry, I will save the world if it's what you want, I don't really have the choice, do I?" 

To this jab, Lilith from the past shrugged her shoulders and chose to stay silent. 

''Well, it doesn't matter, many people have made it possible, some sacrificed their lives for me to be here, and like me, you know that I dislike owning people favor. If saving the world can be considered repaying this favor, then I'll gladly do it.'' Lilith declared; it was really what she thought. Even though she might have lost some of her memories, the core was still there; the Lilith from the past nodded and warned. 

''Be prepared. It would hurt like hell.'' 

Lilith nodded with resolute eyes as if to say, bring it, then the Lilith from the past smiled, it was a smile that sent chill down her spine; therefore she gulped, the scenery around them changed into a pitch-black world, the two stood atop black water.

''Let's begin.'' The Lilith from the past muttered right before her. 

''When-" 

The words she wished to say were cut off when the other Lilith finger lightly poked her forehead. 

''Ugh!" Lilith's body trembled as if she was electrocuted, followed by intense pain. 

''Inheritance begin.'' 

''Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" 

Lilith's body fell into the dark water after screaming, memory upon memory started to rush into her head, she felt like her head would explode; however, if it were only that, then would have been able to deal with this amount of pain, however, at the same time that her head throbbed, her body was being shredded from the inside out, her cells were getting destroyed then repaired, then destroyed again, the culprit seemed to be the black water. Lilith's consciousness started to become blurry; even so, she refused to give in; she wouldn't fall unconscious, she mustn't. 

While Lilith was suffering inside the black water, above it were two girls; one was becoming more and more transparent while the other was in half-materialized shape. 

Looking at her body that had almost disappeared, Lilith, from the past, sighed. 

''I hope she would quickly finish as things are not looking good outside; who would have thought that he would act like this.'' 

The other girl, Lilith's Gift spirit, nodded and looked outside, past the dungeon where the situation was about to get even more chaotic.
