Divine Path System-Novel

Sarah and Sia didn't know Amanda's thoughts. So, thinking they could discuss their relationship later, Sarah began to narrate what happened over the last year and a half.

From Varian's loss of memory to his year-long depression. And from Sia's entry into the academy, her saving Sarah's life, and eventually her capture.

Sarah skipped the part where Sia was tortured and just told that she was ordered to work 24 hours to produce a potion.

Amanda listened to everything carefully.

When she heard that Varian lost his memory of Sia, her heart nearly stopped. And hearing that Varian lived a full year in deep depression teetering on the edge of collapse, she clenched her fists.

As she learned about the hardships Sia faced, Amanda couldn't help it anymore and hugged Sia to console her and herself.

Enigma's existence also solved Amanda's doubts regarding the events of that day. But with all the information overload, Amanda didn't even know what to think of her and just let it be.

Sarah looked at Amanda and Sia hugging each other and crying and rubbed her eyebrows, "Uh…okay, please don't cry, everything will change soon after Varian took the entrance test."

What Amanda heard from then on sounded like something straight out of a legend.

A boy that didn't awaken until he was eighteen would already be branded as useless as a soldier.

Yet, once Varian awakened, he grew at a ridiculous pace shattering all records. Just weeks after he awakened, he took the entrance test, and not only did he pass the world's most tough exam, he was placed at the very top.

But before she could be happy for Varian, she learned that he faced discrimination and bullying from the young masters of the Xander family.

"…Xanders?!" Even though Amanda wasn't an elite of the society, she had a rough understanding of how big the Xanders really were.

And the two young masters weren't just the children of the Xander family, they were straight up the sons of the Xander Sovereign.

Hearing this clash nearly made Amanda stop breathing.

But after knowing Sarah helped Varian out and how he performed on his first mission, she sighed in relief.

Her relief wasn't long-lived as Varian disappeared into the space crack and wouldn't appear until a while.

Sarah continued to narrate how Enigma started hunting down the Xanders to avenge Varian.

And finally, Varian returned. With a mysterious spaceship that gave him an overwhelming edge.

The saga of 'Dreamer' began. He single-handedly destroyed the abyssals incursions into the lower dungeons.

Then, Varian won the solar trial. Went to Valos and prevented a fricking war by himself! Later, he explored the ruins, found Sia, and restored his full memory.

Amanda already felt that her emotions were fluctuating from extreme low to extreme high. One second, she was feeling utterly scared and worried and the very next second, she was elated and wanted to jump in joy.

As the ups and downs continued, she witnessed Varian's journey all the way to this place and this trial.

It was surreal, almost, no, it's certainly legendary. What made it so hard to believe was the man in the legend was her own son.ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novelenglish.net . Fɪre.net

He reached a height that she couldn't even imagine.

The youngest genius. The man that introduced fear to abyssals. The one who prevented the destruction of humanity several times and protected it himself.

Each of his feats felt greater than the other.

Where else did a single man clean up thirty planetoids and saved an entire planet by himself?

There were always geniuses throughout history. Big geniuses. Monstrous geniuses even.

But none of them were so ahead of their peers that they literally reached the top of the pyramid before they even graduated.

As a peak level 9 or even a high level 9, Varian was already at what's end line for most people. But for him, it's just the beginning.

Amanda felt all the pride anyone would feel. But more than pride, she felt sad that Varian had to go through all this mostly alone.

While she wanted him the best, she felt bitter for all the hardships he faced. Learning that her son nearly died so many times and even died once and luckily revived, was just too much.

Amanda closed her eyes and quietly sobbed for a few minutes before wiping off her tears and asking with a soft, relieved smile, "So…once you clear this trial, you can return to earth, is that right?"

"Uh-oh," Sarah nodded.

Amanda looked at the colorful clouds in the sky far away. Even from here, she could see the clouds forming and dispersing. They weren't pure clouds, they were explosions following the big attacks.

"Varian is still fighting, right?" Amanda sighed.

"He'll continue to fight until the end," Sarah smiled wryly, "For better or worse, his stamina is inhuman."

Sia glanced at Sarah and felt that there was something odd in her words. But Sia lowered her head as the tip of her ears turned pink. 'Am I getting infected by Varian's dirty jokes? What's the occasion, how can I think that? Really now…'

"Then you guys should return and help him," Amanda said to Sarah and turned to Sia who was looking restless for some reason, "Sia, I know what you're worried about."

"Huh?" Sia raised her head in shock.

Did Amanda have a mind-reading ability or something?

"Don't worry, I will kill myself. You don't have to do it again and gain another bad memory," Amanda smiled and with a trembling hand, summoned a lightning dagger.

"Take care, Sia," She patted Sia's head and turned to Sarah, "And Sarah, thank you for taking care of Sia and Varian. With them having such a good friend like you, I can rest assured."

"Wait, what?" Sarah opened her mouth in confusion.

Didn't she just introduce herself as the girlfriend and even the future wife? Is her mother-in-law not in good health and can't remember stuff?

"It was nice to meet you two," Amanda lifted her trembling hand and pushed the dagger to her neck.

But right before it could pierce her skin, time seemed to slow down and the dagger was blown away by a small snowball.

Sarah grabbed her hand, preventing her from doing anything stupid again, and said, "We're tired and have to rest for a while. So, don't go already. This is the only chance I have to ever meet you, mother-in-law. I don't want to miss this opportunity."

"You're at it again, mother-in-law," Amanda laughed.

"I'm serious," Sarah sighed, "I'm really your son's girlfriend. I'm your daughter-in-law."

Since she met them, Amanda was in a hurry.

To console Sia. To learn about Varian's situation. Then killing herself so that they can go help  Varian. She neglected and ignored a lot of things in the process.

Even the relationship of Sarah with Varian.

Despite Sarah mentioning it several times when she narrated, Amanda kept it aside treating it as sarcasm.

But when the blue-eyed girl looked her in the eye and said with a serious expression, it was as if a bomb exploded in Amanda's head.

"You're joking, right?" She asked with a weak smile.

Sarah looked at her with a dead-serious expression.

Amanda turned to Sia with a weak smile, "Right?"

Sia sighed helplessly and clutched her forehead.

Oh, dear.
