The memories of the Summoned Heroes I bring to my Dungeon are still a mystery to me, they are quite secretive about it, and although they have told me what they were before, it feels

Like they're foggy.

"What about you, Bark?"

"I remember something..." Bark muttered. "A time when I had a sword and a shield and also an armor of shiny silver color, with lions engraved into them. That time I was an honored knight, that time I met my old lord... I... ugh, I can't remember much, but those memories, they made me happy."

"That Spiritual Swordsmanship comes from you or...?" I wondered.

"It comes from me, yes, although it manifested as a Hero Ability," said Bark. "It was something... Someone, ugh... Someone taught me, someone very important."

Their abilities and talents are definitely related to that, and although they have confirmed to be they died before and weren't just teleported here, it still leaves quite a lot of questions to

Me.

I remember Alice told me that the System was somehow imitating the Soul Reincarnation powers of the original God that made them, which were Gods of Reincarnation.

The reason I can summon souls and create new bodies for them through the system is, aside from its internal accumulated Causality Power, is because of this power from its original creators.

This could also mean I can develop this power further and further into something else... Maybe turn Alice into a goddess of reincarnation...

Wait, is that even possible?

I wonder...

"You don't remember this very important person, tough guy?" wondered Ivy. "Honestly, same! I do remember there was a bunch of people I cared for, they were like my family... they were like me too, green and with pointy ears, a small... But I just can't remember their faces quite well, or their names."

"I suppose this is something we share," laughed Bark. "But I think... the person that taught me about this Spirit Swordsmanship was very precious to me. And that I once belonged to some sort of organization... a group of knights that protected a giant tree and its territory." "Wait... Like the Knights of Yggdrasil?" I wondered.

"The Knights...!" he gasped. "T-That's...!"

Did he finally remember?!

So maybe he comes from this world then!

"...I don't know," Bark sighed, lowering his head. "Though it sounds similar, my goddess!" "Hah... I guess it can't be helped, the only way your memories are coming back is by getting stronger," I said. "Anyways, are you feeling alright?"

"I'm good and ready to go, my goddess!" Bark said. "Please, let me handle the monsters, I'll tank them all on my own!"

He was eager to fight, maybe I should give him a shield, he has none, surprisingly.

"Yeah, we're fine," said Ivy. "Ready to go now after eating! I just want to get done with this so we can go back, I miss my babe."

Ivy started stretching her body and warming up to go hunt the rest of the Miasmic Nest monsters.

She looked energetic about just getting back home to see Selene, whom she was madly in love with.

Though, it made me wonder something... noveℓ.com

"Were you into girls even before reincarnating, Ivy?" I wondered.

"W-Wha...?!" Ivy muttered, feeling a bit embarrassed. "I mean... Yeah, I think so? I remember I had someone else with me, a girlfriend or something. Selene... she reminds me of her. She was tall, not a goblin like me. And she always took care of my wounds, of my entire tribe actually."

"Really?" I wondered. "Selen is not like you guys though, so I doubt it's the same person reincarnated... She was born from the combined desires of the Arboren, from the magic farms, many magical plants fused together. Also as a manifestation of the civilization system's powers. A Saintess as needed, so one was born to lead them."

"So that's how she came into existence, how interesting," Bark nodded. "She is truly a blessed woman then, perhaps the herald of the goddess!"

"I see, well, I never thought it would be her..." said Ivy. "I... I died in battle I think, and she remained alive. So I hope she's alive somewhere else... that's all."

"A very noble thought," said Bark with a nod. "You're truly a knight in heart and body now, Ivy."

"Ugh, shut up about being knights, Bark, I'm getting tired of your dumbassery!" Ivy cried angrily.

Although she was a bit pesky and annoying, Ivy was a cute girl.

And Bark was an endearing old knight, caring and chivalrous, if not a bit fanatic.

But still... these were good people.

I care about them, more than I imagined I would.

I brought them to this world, I gave them a second chance, I have to take responsibility for them, and make sure they become strong.

The powers I have are very miraculous, even more than I ever thought, to be able to

Reincarnate people...

Perhaps this is why I've hesitated on getting more of these strong hero-type units.

But as the threat of the miasmic nests remain within the dungeon forever, larger quantities of strong allies will be needed.

Eventually, I'll be forced to summon more of them, to reincarnate more lost souls into heroes to help my civilization.

I will make sure to give them everything they need, so their stay here doesn't feel bad or

Suffocating.

And I might also apologize to them when they're summoned, for forcing their souls to reincarnate here, instead than in another place, perhaps...

"I think I owe you two an apology," I said.

"Eh?"

"Why?"

The two looked at me with a surprised expression.

I held their hands as I looked at their eyes.

"I summoned your souls without your permission," I said. "Yeah, you might have died before, but still... Maybe you could have had a different second life, a better one. I pretty much took that chance away from you, and dragged you into this mess, into my problems... For that,

I am deeply sorry. I'll do my best to at least... give you the best life I can."

I've made up my resolve, I will protect and guide these people.
