X+17 years and 9 months
A golden-eyed woman with blonde golden hair was laying on the ground with her pure white dress tainted by blood. The woman had wounds all over her body and was missing most of her right arm and was bleeding fast.
The blood belonged to the woman herself and those she just killed.
Around the woman, dead bodies of different Races were lying on the ground along with hundred of Magic Stones.
Despite being near her end, the woman was calm with a smile on her face as her only hand was being held by a teenager who looked almost like her.
The teenager had silver hair containing black lines and an ocean-blue right eye and blood-red left eye which were tearing up and she was wearing light armor with a small number of surface wounds.
"Mom..."The teenager whispered pleadingly to her mother who was dying right in front of her as a river of tears fell from her eyes.
"Ariadne..."The woman whispered to her daughter as she was reaching her end.
The woman was the Sword Empress Ais Silver born Ais Wallenstein daughter of the Mercenary King Albert Waldstein and the Great Wind Spirit Aria Waldstein, and the wife of the Last Demon Bell Silver born Bell Cranel, and mother of Ariadne Silver.
"Remember...No regret... Ariadne. "As she said these words, Ais's heart stopped leaving her dead body smiling.
Ariadne's tears stopped flowing hearing her mother's last words and looked at her mother with a smile and tears fell from her eyes like a river.
"No...I refuse this to be my reality. "An hourglass appeared with a single grain of sand on it as a golden aura around her.
"Sorry, Dad and Mom. You should've known this. None of us will ever listen. "Ariadne smiled as the bodies and Magic Stones around her began disappearing into light particles and went to her increasing her aura.
A golden Magic Circle appeared under Ariadne's feet.
"I reject this end. I reject this world. I reject time itself. "Ariadne said to herself as she was losing consciousness.
"This...is...my...choice..."Said the silver-haired girl falling as the world turned white around her.
X-30 days
Ariadne slowly opened her eyes as she was laying on a bed.
As soon as she became aware of her surroundings.
The girl was out of her armor inside what looked like a small house wearing a brown robe.
She get up from the bed and felt weak and didn't understand why.
"My Falna...it's gone. "Ariadne's eyes widened at the realization.
"Where am I?"Ariadne asked herself.
"You're in my humble house. "Ariadne looked in the direction the voice came from and so a woman with long walnut brown hair that is gathered together behind her head in a dignified manner, along with deep indigo eyes that are reminiscent of a sea of stars. She wears a simple kirtle and a long skirt.
Ariadne glared at the woman recognizing her which was unnoticed by the woman.
"This Astraea Record's Goddess. "Ariadne thought as she felt her divine aura.
Ariadne looked around looking for her things.
"Where is my stuff? "Ariadne asked using an unintended harsh tone as she got up from the bed.
If offended, Astraea didn't show it and continued to smile at the girl.
"Come with me. "Astraea said as Ariadne followed her while being as cautious as possible.
Both of them left the small house and saw a brown-eyed woman with short black hair examining the scabbard with her sword in it.
"Let it Go!"Ariadne snapped as she forcefully took the sword while making sure that it wasn't damaged.
The woman was a bit surprised at Ariadne's reaction but didn't show a noticeable reaction.
Ariadne removed the sword from its scabbard and revealed a black blade with a silver rose carved near its grip.
The woman who was holding the adopted a shocked expression on her face.
After a minute, Ariadne returned the sword to the scabbard and bowed to the woman whom she took it from.
"I apologize for the way I acted just now. "Ariadne apologized as her head was still down.
"Apology accepted. "The woman replied in an evasive manner.
Ariadne nod her head and looked at a nearby table that the rest of her belongings on it.
Ariadne went quickly to the table and searched her back bag and smiled as she spotted four rings with different colors each; silver, golden, white, and black rings.
Ariadne quickly put the golden ring on the index of her left hand, the black ring on the thumb of her left hand, the white ring on the index of her right hand, and the silver ring on the thumb of her right hand.
Ariadne smiled looking at the special rings she made as she was lost in thought and was about to use them.
Ariadne's eyes widened as she remembered that she wasn't alone.
"Sorry for zoning out like that, Goddess..."
"It's Astraea, dear. "Astraea introduced herself.
"My name is Ariadne Silver. "Ariadne introduced herself seeing no point in hiding her identity since her last name had no meaning to it yet.
"I'm Cecile..."Cecile said with a low voice.
Ariadne decided it will be better if she doesn't talk too much with the Goddess in front of her.
"One slip could cause a disaster. I better find when I am, fast. "Ariadne thought as she looked at the Goddess in front of her.
"I have to risk it. It will make accelerate my plan if I get Falna now. "Ariadne thought remembering her father's family's condition.
Ariadne knew she mostly going to regret her next words but she made riskier moves.
"Astraea-Sama, could you give me your Falna? "Ariadne asked as politely as she could.
"Falna, I could but why do you want it?"Astarea asked back as she was looking at the girl if she would lie.
"A relative of mine went to Orario recently and going to find him. He's going to become an adventurer and I'm going to help him. I think getting Falna right now could really help me know how to help him. "Ariadne said as she told the truth she believed as the Gods can't tell if someone is lying if he doesn't know it himself.
"Well, Dad is my relative, I'm just not born yet, so technically I'm not lying. Also, in two weeks I will get a Skill so it's better than waiting to get it. "Ariadne thought as she still smiled at Astarea.
Astarea didn't say a thing and thought about her proposal before smiling.
"Well, I will help you with this. "Astarea accepted the girl's request though she was a little wary of her but she couldn't,t sensed no ill will or lies from the girl.
"Thank you. "The silver-haired girl said before continuing," So how to do this? "Ariadne asked as politely as possible which was a fake since she already knows everything about Falna.
"Questions can't be lies so I'm not lying. "Ariadne thought deciding it's better to fake ignorance.
Astarea explained Falna, Familia, and many other things related to Orario to the silver-haired girl.
As soon as she gave her Falna, Astarea 's eyes widened but she tried to hide it falling to as the future girl smiled knowing the reason for her shock but she couldn't be more wrong.
As soon as she saw her Status her face nearly crumbled but she managed to keep her calm expression.

"Is this normal? You told me that you can only gain Development Abilities during Level-Up. "Ariadne questioned the Goddess of justice as she kept her face showing only confusion on it while inside she almost fainted in happiness.
"This will accelerate my schedule by at least a 100. "Ariadne thought as Astarea was explaining to her that she didn't hear anything about this ever.
3 days later, Ariadne was wearing new clothes which were black pants and a shirt with a hood allowing her to hide her face along with a back bag containing her armor and sword hiding it.
Ariadne said her goodbyes to the two women and left them.
As soon as she was away from their sight, the girl stopped running and fell down crying.
"I'm sorry, Mom and Dad but I will make this world better for us. I'm sorry for being this selfish. "The time travel said while looking at her rings.
