Chapter 134: Chapter 134 – A Peaceful Night and the Unseen Chaos

Sylvia returned to her room, closing the large wooden door slowly until only the soft rustle of magical chains could be heard. The room was spacious yet quiet, with dark gray stone walls and minimalist furniture in deep black hues. The blue fire in the corner hearth was still burning, casting a dim light that reflected off the black marble floor.

She walked over to a small table beside the bookshelf. There, a kettle filled with water was already prepared, as usual. She picked it up and placed it on a stand near the fireplace, then lit the nether flame. The flame was bluish-purple, smokeless, and burned hot enough to heat metal or water without damaging the furniture thanks to its controlled nature.

While waiting for the water to boil, Sylvia raised her hand and opened her storage system. A small pouch containing black tea leaves appeared in her palm not tea from her old world, but from mutated plants native to this one. Its aroma was strong, with hints of spice and metal strange, yet refreshing.

She didn’t know how to brew tea the proper way not like nobles who understood the nuances of steeping. She simply followed her usual method: tossing the tea leaves directly into the pot, waiting for the water to change color, then pouring it into a cup.

Soon, the water turned a deep reddish-black. Sylvia extinguished the nether flame, took the kettle with a cloth, and poured its contents into a plain white cup.

Warm steam rose from the cup, carrying a calming scent.

She sat on the sofa near the balcony, lifted the cup, and took a slow sip.

The astringency hit sharply, but a strange warmth spread down her throat, accompanied by a soothing aroma. She exhaled deeply, allowing her body to relax slightly after a long, exhausting day.

"The world might change again soon..." she muttered quietly, staring at the fire as its blue flames danced gently. "I hope I’ll be stronger by then... because perhaps some legendary beings will break free from their boundaries."

She sipped her tea again, more deeply this time. Her eyes drifted to the ceiling, empty and lost in thought.

After a while, she stood, set the cup on the black wooden table, and walked to her large bed with its pale gray canopy. She dropped onto the soft mattress, lying on her back, letting herself sink into her thoughts.

"...Alicia, Stacia." Her voice was calm, but carried a questioning tone. "What do you think... when will the third wave come?"

The room remained quiet for a few seconds before two feminine voices echoed within her mind two consciousnesses that had long accompanied her, living within her soul or perhaps her system. Alicia, the sharp and dark aspect of Sylvia. And Stacia, the more intuitive side, attuned to the world.

"Hmm..." Alicia replied slowly, as if she had just awakened from a long slumber. "I’m not sure... but I think it’ll still be a while. This world... seems to be giving its inhabitants time to adapt first."

"Yes," Stacia chimed in. Her voice was soft, almost like a whisper from within a forest. "Maybe the third wave isn’t just about spatial or temporal shifts... but something bigger. Perhaps... the gods will descend once more into this world."

Sylvia murmured, barely audible, "The gods... yes. This world does feel like... a stage."

"A stage that keeps expanding," Alicia continued. "One wave brings chaos, another brings opportunity. But there’s always a price to pay."

"Perhaps," Sylvia and Alicia replied at the same time, their voices echoing within one another. They fell silent afterward, letting their shared awareness rest in that brief exchange.

Slowly, Sylvia turned to gaze at the night sky through the half-open window. The cold wind slipped in, rustling the dark curtains. Outside, the sky was filled with scattered stars something she rarely noticed before.

"Hey," she said softly, more to herself. "Is it possible that... we’ll be separated one day?"

Alicia answered first, her usually playful voice sounding calmer tonight. "Fufu... maybe. The world keeps evolving, and so do we. After a few major evolutions, we might go our own ways."

Stacia added, "Or... we might fragment, becoming new entities. No longer part of one body... but independent beings."

Sylvia fell silent. Her hand gripped the blanket beside her, and she smiled faintly.

"That may be true... But for now, let’s focus on getting stronger. Because I don’t want Sofia to get hurt again."

No reply came. But the silence felt like agreement. As if the three of them shared an unspoken understanding.

The room returned to silence. Only the sound of the blue fire flickering in the hearth, and the wind outside rustling the giant mushroom leaves in the distance, filled the space.

In the stillness, Sylvia looked at her now-empty cup on the table.

Tonight felt different. No blood. No commands. No battles.

Just peace. Just... a pause.

And in that peace, Sylvia realized something that she had begun to enjoy this world not just as a battlefield, but as a place to live. A place where she could... exist, even if she was no longer an ordinary human.

"The third wave..." she whispered before her eyes slowly closed, "...what will you bring?"

Gradually, her consciousness drifted into sleep. A rare sleep peaceful and undisturbed.

...Sylvia’s consciousness slowly sank into a peaceful slumber. Her breathing was steady, her body calm beneath the blanket, while the light from the hearth gradually dimmed.

Deep within the quiet depths of her soul, two faint lights shimmered Alicia and Stacia, two aspects of herself that dwelled in a space unseen by ordinary eyes.

Alicia turned gently toward the pale blue light beside her. Her voice was soft, filled with affection."She finally managed to sleep without restlessness tonight... It’s such a rare sight, isn’t it?"

Stacia sat with her arms crossed, a slight pout on her face despite the faint blush on her cheeks."Hmph... yeah, yeah. But still, she’s too reckless. Talking about legendary beings and gods like it’s just... idle chatter."

Alicia smiled. "She’s not reckless, just... confident. And she knows we’re here by her side."

"Confidence is fine, but... she doesn’t always realize how fragile she still is." Stacia glanced at the faint outline of Sylvia sleeping. Her voice softened to a whisper. "If she falls... I, we... might disappear too, right?"

Alicia nodded slowly. "That’s why we stay. To be with her, to protect her, even if she’s not always aware."

Stacia let out a small huff. "I know. But don’t get the wrong idea I’m not here because I care or anything, okay?! I’m just... bound to her. That’s all."

Alicia chuckled quietly. "Of course, Stacia. Of course."

And so the night went on, with the two lights keeping silent vigil watching over the heart that slumbered, as the world slowly inched toward its next chaos.
