In a secluded location on Earth, a young man stood while gazing at the sky.

    Eryndor has joined a mission to contact Shx’Trelith? That’s nice.

    He opened his hand, embedded on his palm was a glowing symbol, extremely complicated and purple in color.

    The symbol glowed faintly, before the young man began disappearing, starting from his toes.

    A few seconds later, no traces were left in the secluded area, which might’ve given away a hint of the young man’s presence.

    "Erin, my baby! You’re back! How was the trip to Earth?"

    It turns out the young man was Erin who had helped out Eryndor.

    A middle-aged lady was ruffling his hair, while asking him about his experience.

    "It was good, mom. Just not what I expected."

    "Haven’t I told you countless times? Your original parent’s memories might’ve been changed or sealed, you’ll have to learn the related arts or spells to deal with it.

    "You always come back saying it’s unexpected when all you do is disguise yourself and ask your parents if they had another kid. Of course they’ll say no.

    "You’ve almost mastered the required skills, just a few more years and you can use it on your parents. Don’t be upset now."

    "No mom, this time they remembered."

    There was a moment of silence as the lady stopped ruffling her head. She looked him in the eye and smiled.

    "Did they?" There was genuine happiness in her eyes, mixed with a hint of sadness.

    Erin looked up at her.

    "Yes, some random anomaly unsealed my mom’s memories.

    "This time when I talked to them posing as a delivery man, my mom spoke about how she had another kid just the same age as their current one.

    "That he’s missing, and they’re still looking for him. My mom almost cried talking about it."

    The middle-aged lady had tears in the corner of her eyes.

    "Sure, wait a few minutes, it takes time."

    "I wished I could take you there to meet with my mom."

    The middle-aged lady looked up. "You know what happened when I opened the portal to the Earth for the first time, don’t you?"

    Erin nodded, he remembered it very clearly. "Of course, that is why I only said I wished I could take you there. Maybe I can bring my parents here instead?

    "Chuck it, I don’t want to take the risk."

    The middle-aged lady nodded at him.

    "Glad you have some sense. Someone very powerful is guarding Earth. They were alerted when I opened the portal the first time.

    "Thankfully it was only you, a weak human who was originally from Earth who was going back.

    "This is also why the portal might be working for you after all. I don’t think the Outer Film of this Forbidden Void would allow me or the others to leave even if that being on the Earth allowed.

    "Don’t take the risk of bringing your parents here, we don’t want to attract any attention."

    Erin nodded, he knew all of this. He had a family here, with a few relatives.

    They individually might not be as strong as the Eldritch entities who resisted the Cosmic Limit alone, but they had still managed to combine their powers and used a formation to resist the Cosmic Limit.

    His family wasn’t that weak. Someone who could go head to head against his mom, or even be stronger, might be guarding the Earth. He couldn’t mess around there.

    Eryndor had zero idea how a person of that caliber was able to roam free outside of the Forbidden Voids. Shouldn’t the Cosmic Limit have suppressed them already?

    Well, it wasn’t his turn to worry about it. His thoughts were all on a single thing, to meet his family on Earth.

    "The portal is open, where do I drop you?"

    Erin recollected something, and answered with a smile.

    "I have a few interesting friends on Earth, my younger brother happens to be doing a mission in the team of one of these friends.

    "Drop me in Polinek city, he is living there right now.

    "Maybe I can find a gift for my younger brother there itself."
