Chapter 1: A Man in Mystery, Becoming Brothers of Amon
Chapter 1: A Man in Mystery, Becoming Brothers of Amon
Rosen was thinking.
Just three seconds ago, he was happily attending the comic convention, taking photos with many cosplayers, and even receiving a handmade character accessory—a monocle—from an enthusiastic cosplayer.
As a seasoned fan of the Mystery series, Lawson naturally chose to wear a monocle on set, preparing to act out a scene with Teacher Amon, a classic "You are Amon, I am Amon, we are all Amon" scenario. However, while he was adjusting his clothes, Lawson noticed something was amiss when he looked up again.
The enthusiastic teacher Amon is gone, replaced by a child who looks no more than three years old. Coincidentally, the child is also wearing a monocle and is fast asleep. The venue next to it, which was originally filled with cosplayers and passersby, has disappeared and been replaced by a palace-like building.
Not far away, a tall man, judging from his appearance, seemed to have northern ancestry and was quietly watching him. The man's hair was short, mainly black, but with some gold at the roots.
What have I done to you? Is this still Earth?
Rosen's heart skipped a beat. He almost immediately realized that he might have encountered the legendary time travel. Then, a second later, he realized something and looked down at his current body.
His body seemed to be the same as before, at least the accessories were the ones he was familiar with, and Rosen could even see the merchandise he had gotten from the exhibition in his pocket, but it had shrunk to the size of a three-year-old.
So I'm wearing... Then where am I? Monocle, Russian, and this hair color... wow!
Rosen gasped inwardly. In that instant, he realized who the other party was. It was Grisha, a character from the original Lord of Mysteries who, though he died young, was considered a white moonlight figure. He was one of the original ancient people who liberated humanity from the oppression of extraordinary races in the era of the ancient gods and brought light to the world in a physical sense. He was also known as the creator of the Silver City.
Then Rosen seemed to remember something else, raised his hand to touch the monocle on his face, and instantly realized that the monocle, which was originally just an ordinary toy but was still quite exquisite, had become different.
—This thing seems to truly possess the power to make a thief unique!
Rosen confirmed that he might have traveled to the world of the Lord of Mysteries, and there was a very high probability that he landed directly at the birthplace of Amon at the beginning of the Third Era, and even landed with uniqueness and language proficiency.
So here's the key question: did he steal Amon's uniqueness, or did he possess it himself?
How did the sun god view this guy who suddenly appeared?
Thinking of the Sun God's gentle yet ruthless demeanor in the original story, and of Adam's various acts of sacrificing humanity to save the world after merging with the true creator on the eve of the apocalypse, Rosen made a decision in a flash. He looked at the Sun God, gave him a harmless smile, and called out:
"Father."
Rosen was gambling, gambling on his status in the eyes of others, gambling that the Sun God wouldn't harm a child, wouldn't harm someone who seemed harmless.
Of course, if he loses the bet, Rosen is also prepared to use the uniqueness of the bet to run away.
Even if there's no way to escape it, you still have to try.
……
The sun god fell silent, a rare occurrence.
Today should have been a joyous day, as His child Ammon was about to be born, and Adam, the backup plan He had prepared for Him, would also appear in the world as the firstborn son of God.
But now something unexpected has happened. A child that shouldn't have been born has been born. This child was born at the same time as Amon and even shared the power of the thief's uniqueness.
If that were all, it would be fine. For the sun god, it would simply mean that his originally destined youngest son had turned into twins. But the reality was far worse.
The sun god Grisha gazed at the child before him, who looked up at him like a real child, his emerald eyes clear and bright, his smile harmless and gentle, like a real little angel.
The eyes of the sun god told Him, "Yes, this is your child." His understanding emphasized, "Although an accident occurred, He is still your child." His emotions pulled Him, "Why don't you hug your child? He is calling you Father."
However, the faltering rationality was not completely overwhelmed, and the spirituality belonging to half God frantically sounded the alarm—do not look directly at God.
Suddenly, the sun god saw layers of mist shrouding the other's side, and the fragrance of plants seemed to become richer at this moment, carrying a decadent vitality. The sun god heard the sound of plants growing, the sound of branches sprouting, and faintly, it seemed that goats were crying.
The sun god closed his eyes.
He knew that this was a monster, a god, an indescribable being.
The moment the other party descended, it altered His perception, making Him, who should have been full of vigilance, emotionally treat the other party as a child.
The sun god gritted his teeth.
At that moment, He considered taking action, but in the end, the Sun God did nothing. He didn't even change his expression; He simply smiled in response and said, "Perhaps you've already chosen a name for yourself?"
The sun god knew that He had to keep the monster at bay for the sake of the world.
He was not certain that he could kill or suppress the other party. He was unsure whether going to war with the other party would bring destruction to the already crumbling world. Therefore, the sun god chose to go along with the other party's wishes first and find out the other party's strengths and weaknesses.
……
Rosen was unaware that he had become an indescribable being in the eyes of the Sun God. In fact, although he vaguely sensed the subtlety of the Sun God's attitude, Rosen was more concerned about the Sun God's response at the moment.
After all, Rosen really didn't want to fight the Sun God. He was just a novice transmigrator, and even with the uniqueness of the Thief, he obviously couldn't beat half a God!
So when he heard the Sun God's question, Rosen inevitably breathed a sigh of relief. He paused for a moment, then replied, "I think I should be called Rosen, Rosen Nicholas, Father."
Rosen's real name is of course Rosen. He has no intention of giving himself a new name, after all, he has been using this name for more than 20 years. As for "Rosen Nicholas", it is a name that Rosen used when he traveled abroad. The main idea is to follow local customs. Considering the current era, Rosen simply continued to use it.
As for whether this answer would raise suspicion—Rosen really didn't care much, since he was already acting strangely all over, so what difference would it make?
Then Rosen heard the Sun God utter his name.
"Rosen Nicholas..." The Sun God seemed to be trying to remember the name, or perhaps he was thinking of something else. In any case, after a pause, the Sun God spoke gently, "Your brother hasn't woken up yet. Perhaps you wouldn't mind waiting here for a while?"
