BXBX NOVEL Chapter 125: Fate Memory!
The room as well as the entire auction were well equipped with technological gadgets that made sure every guest could see, hear, and be heard without any problems.
Once the receptionist led the group to the room, he told them that if they needed anything, they only had to ask, and somebody stationed outside would reply. After that, he told them that there were 3 hours remaining for the auction to begin and went out of the room.
Draco sat on a table that was close to the window and looked down to see the many beings of all races filling the auction little by little, and then looked up to see 2 rooms above him that were the Super VIP Rooms 1 & 2.
The two rooms as well as all the other Super VIP Rooms' windows were hidden by something impenetrable, and one could see nothing but a holographic image with their number on it.
"Full Privacy, Huh?" Draco said with a slight smile.
Alexander and his wives sat on the table and were leisurely talking and taking their time.
Draco looked at this and thought to himself.
'Had you not been too held back by your wives, you wouldn't just be here today. But then again, it could have been worse.'
He then looked out of the window.
'When I just got here, I first thought about finding food and shelter, not knowing the reality of this world yet. When I lost my arm to the goblin, I thought I would die, only realising the dangers around me. When I killed the slimes, I felt powerful, finally getting a feel of the heights I could reach.' Draco thought back to his first day here.
'Who knew I would be here this fast.' he smiled faintly while shaking his head, gaining a few glances from Alexander.
' The decisions we make, whether willfully or by force, shape us into who we are today. When I thought of joining Shamuji's Village, I didn't consider time or evolution, only using what little knowledge and intelligence I had to think of a risky way to insure my survival...
not even knowing the extent of the powers I held in my hands.' he looked down at his hands, thinking about what he could do with them.
'In a way, we are destined for a path that happens whether we choose to do it consciously or make mistakes and then become forced to choose it. I wasn't the one who chose the conditions I had to fulfill to evolve, nor was I the one who chose the world I was transmigrated to. But I wonder, how much of that was my own decision? and how much of that... was my own fate?'

Out of nowhere, Golden Chains appeared around Draco that nobody but him could see, and a second later he felt a similar sensation to when he was inside the Chaos Memory.
What were these memories? They were simply moments in history where holders of said affinity were in important moments of their lives where they either achieved something phenomenal or... went from their peak... to their lowest.
This memory, in particular... was the latter.
"You have broken the rules, Fate. They are coming to imprison you." Draco appeared in what he assumed to be some sort of higher realm.
He looked down and saw himself wearing a white robe with white hair cascading down his shoulders.
He looked up and saw what looked to be... What kind of being is this?
A humanoid made out of mist?
"If that is my fate, then I shall comply, Truth." Draco's mouth spoke by itself, as he knew this was probably a memory of when Fate got imprisoned.
"Why did you do it, Fate? You know far too well that interfering with the world is forbidden, more than all of us." Draco looked to his right to see another masked figure, however, this one was made out of sakura leaves.
"It had to be done, Life. When the fate of the world is at risk, we as its overseers need to protect it." Fate replied.
"Protecting was never our job, Fate. All we ever have to do is make use of the growing talents and benefit of their achievements to reach higher ranks." A celestial that was made out of darkness and white spots like a starry night spoke.
"Night, we hold different beliefs. If you grew up to hate this world, then I grew up to love it, and I shall do whatever I can to make sure it never meets an unsightly end at the hands of evil such as yours." Fate replied as calmly as he could.
"Tsk." Night clicked his tongue, as he didn't want to reply to Fate.
Golden Chains appeared out of nowhere to hold Fate from his hands, feet, and body.
The others watched in regret as one of the few celestials that actually cared about their world was chained... Once more.
A swirl of darkness and heart shaking laughter that would put fear in the bravest of souls resounded.
"THESE BASTARDS!" Truth screamed at the top of his lungs, as he knew he couldn't do anything to stop what was going on. His goofy nature from when he analyzed Draco was nothing but a facade he put up to forget about the blades that were above their heads.
"Calm down, my friend. I leave everything to you. May you ascend to reach what we failed to." With a smile that Truth could feel but not see, the darkness swallowed Celestial of Fate... his own Fate approaching its end.
