The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World

Chapter 248 248 - Lumithars

'Well, it makes sense,' Aiden thought, as he knew that this was probably a really sensible subject and that she couldn't say much about it.

To be honest, Aiden was starting to get impatient as he wondered who could have the power to organize such a complicated system.

It hadn't taken a long time for Aiden to notice that something was wrong with the system as it kept answering him directly as if he was some sort of AI or something of the sort.

Seeing that Aiden hadn't said anything, Melinda understood that he had agreed with what she had just said which is why she started explaining the origin of the system.

"The people who created the system can be counted on one hand and no one except us, the founding families heads know about them."

Instead of being shocked, Aiden stayed focused as she waited for her to continue.

What she had just said was so interesting which is why Aiden continued listening, not saying anything.

"I can't tell you too much about them, but I will tell you one thing. You remember what I said about the hidden body potential, right?" she asked, wanting to see the reaction that he would be having.

Aiden hearing this, nodded his head, remembering something about reaching a higher plane or reaching a place beyond this world.

However, at the time, he hadn't thought much about it because he hadn't understood what she meant by that.

"I do, what about it?" Aiden asked back, wondering where she would go with this.

"Well, the people who have created this system and the ones who are controlling it behind the scenes are beings who do not belong to this world anymore. They are beings which have reached a higher plane like I mentioned before," she said with a grin on her face.

She knew that Aiden would be extremely shocked by that information since he was also someone who had that potential.

He was also someone who had the opportunity to reach a higher place since he was also a holder of this "hidden body potential".

Also, now that Melinda had just said that, Aiden realized why having such potential was so important.

Based on the information that he had just received, it meant that he would be able to leave this world at one point and reach the place where those who created the system are.

Then, as Aiden thought that she was finished, Melinda continued talking and Aiden still listened as if his life depended on it.

"Those people which have made the system which most people in this world has awakened are also not even considered special where they come from, in fact, they are considered weak," Melinda explained, wanting to see how Aiden would react faced with such information.

She knew that he was obsessed with getting stronger, and she wondered what his reaction would be when he learned such a thing.

However, instead of saying something out loud, it seemed that Aiden was thinking. He was thinking deeply.

'But, is such a thing even possible, are we insects in those people's eyes,' he thought, a little offended by that thought.

Aiden had never thought of himself like that. 

He knew that he wasn't an insect, or at least, he knew that he wouldn't be one in the future.

Then, after a few moments of silence, Aiden asked another question which was related to the subject.

He knew that Melinda didn't have to respond to it, but he hoped that she would do so as it would simply help him in the long run considering the other questions that he had on his mind.

"Who are those people? Do they have a name?" Aiden asked.

Then, with great surprise, Melinda didn't refuse to respond to that question. In fact, she seemed pleased by it.

It was as if she had wanted Aiden to ask such a thing, it was quite weird if he were to be completely honest.

"They do, actually, however maybe I misspoke earlier, but you can't consider them "people" or rather humans because as I said they are beings who aren't like us at all. They are beings which have evolved to a stage which is much higher than ours."

"Because they have evolved from whatever race they were once a part of, they have a name. Well, actually it's the name of their race, the Lumithars."

Hearing that name, Aiden couldn't help but reveal a smile.

'What sort of shitty name is this?' he thought.

What did it even mean?

'If they're so smart why didn't they come up with a better name.'

Then, as he thought of all that, he noticed that Melinda had stopped talking, it seemed that Aiden's question had been answered as he now knew that there was the system was a creation of some race named the Lumithars.

A race which wasn't known to anyone except the founding families' heads.

"I guess that responds to your question, right?" Melinda asked, seeing that Aiden was still silent not saying anything.

Aiden nodded and it was now time for Melinda to ask a question.

Also, it looked like Melinda had a really good idea of what question to ask as she had a gigantic smile on her face.

However, before she could ask it, Aiden said something which made a lot of sense.

"Since I can't ask you any other questions, you will only be able to ask one last question."

Melinda hearing that didn't seem to mind it as she only had a single question on her mind and it was related to Aiden's class.

"I don't mind it," she said with a smile on her face, patiently waiting to ask her question.

Then, seeing that Aiden was ready she decided to warm him a little beforehand.

"Keep in mind that you better not lie to me while answering or I will know about it," she said while looking at him directly in the eyes completely serious.

'Well, it's not like I can hide stuff from you,' Aiden thought as he knew that if Melinda wanted she would be able to know everything about him.
