"Later, after kissing his mother goodbyes," Catherine continued her story, "the Overlord chanted a strong mantra and activated a path to the exact point of time in the past when his parents met for the first time with the expanse of several worlds' vitalities. Then he walked into that path and the road to the past disappeared along with him. After that, his mother who had been there all this time made a beautiful smile."
Her story gradually piqued Bobby's interest. "Hey, why are you stopping there?" And he pinched her left nipple hard as a punishment.
"Ouch-ouch, it hurts. Let go." Catherine cried in pain, flicking the other's hand away. Then she continued her story: "After entering the road to the past, the Overload first faced a strong time beast, who was the guardian of guarding the time. The two clashed for millennia and finally, the Overlord escaped from the Time Beast. Like that, he succeeded in coming back to the past. But the long battle with the Time Beast had inflicted multiple heavy damages on him both physically and mentally. After appearing in the sky mysteriously, he lost consciousness and dropped into a large river just below him. The stream brought him along the wave and soon entered a small tributary. After ten days, a beautiful country toppling maiden who had happened to wash clothes beside the bank of the small river happened to spot a body washed down by the stream. So, the lady jumped into the river and brought out the body to land. After finding that the man was still breathing, the maiden carried the wounded man to her village. After her repeated pleading with her father who happened to be the village chief agreed to give hospice to the stranger with one condition; she should look after the wounded, unconscious man… After treatment, the Overlord finally opened his eyes on the second day of coming to the village. And his body began healing extremely fast and completed healing after a week. Unfortunately, he had completely lost his memories of his past, even his name…. A year passed, and his memories still didn't come back. On the contrary, he developed a strong feeling for the maiden who had been taking care of him all this time. And it was the same for the maiden, as their feelings for each other were mutual. Soon, the Chieftain found out and supported them, seeing their affection and care for each other. So he married them off. After a year of marriage, the lady got pregnant, and by that time, one day, the Overlord had a lucky encounter while fishing in the river to find a strange stone. The moment he touched it, he entered into a strange state and his lost memories began flashing rapidly in his mind, remembering everything. That day, he returned home immediately to find out that his wife was about to deliver their baby. At that time, he rushed into the house even though the men were not allowed. He forced all the midwives out of the room and said to his wife like this,"
"Listen, careful, my dear Mo…. No, my dear wife, my time here with you is about to expire." the Overlord continued caressing her face, "I'm a traveler from the future."
"Lord Husband, is everything alright? Don't you scare me like that?" the lady said, lying on the bed. "I can't wait anymore. Please, call back all the midwives."
"No, you listen. There is no need for them as I'm going to help you. Can you believe in me one last time?" the Overload continued, caressing her overly bulging belly. He infused a sort of energy inside her womb making her feel good. "Alright, listen, I'm here to find the identity of my father by coming exactly at the time in the past when my father and mother met for the first time. And now, I know who is my father and most importantly who is my mother. Our son inside will have a lot of achievements in his life but just like me, he will be obsessed with the identity of his father that time you just tell him the day we first met nothing else. You get me?"
The lady felt as if this was their last moment but she gathered her strength and nodded as her eyes turned all teary.
"My beautiful wife, don't you worry if you do as I say exactly then one day I'll return to hold you again in my arms." the Overlord said in his gentlest voice, wiping her tears. "Alright, I will help you in delivering our child."
Then he removed the cloth below and infused a lot of energy into her body and pulled out their baby.
He then placed the baby in her arms and said, "It's a healthy boy. And he looks just…."
"Just like his father." the lady said finishing his words with a bright smile on her face.
"What should I call him?" the lady asked.
"Jenkin, call him Jenkin Hobbs!" Just as he said his son's name, out of nowhere a black circular tear opened up above him in the air. "My Dear wife, take care of our child. And you must do exactly as I said before only then I can return to your arms again. Do you understand me?" He was reminded once again.
"I understand!" the lady forced the two words from her mouth and started wailing.
The Overlord sighed and looked at the face of the baby once and jumped above disappearing into the cloud of darkness.
The lady looked above to see that her husband disappeared along with the Cloud of Darkness. Only then, a sudden realization struck her mind, and said laughing, "Now, I know who you are, my lord husband." Then her gaze landed on the baby's face and kissed its lips, with a roller coaster of emotions.
By that time, Catherine ended her story and said, "Alright, before we go further, go with my story. It's now my time to answer my riddle….. My first question is, who is the Overlord's father?"
