THE VILLAIN'S POV Chapter 792 The Forgotten Self (3)

Abraham gazed at him wordlessly for a few moments before slowly settling back into his seat.

"Are you… Nameless?"

Nameless responded with a nod.

"Yes. That is the name others use to refer to me."

Upon hearing this, Abraham slowly regained his calm.

"So it is merely a title. In that case… what is your true name?"

Abraham inquired with keen interest.

Nameless shook his head.

"I do not know. I have no name."

Nameless hailed from Krat, a realm devoid of any notion of names.

Its denizens were identified by numeric codes, like mere automatons.

"I see…" Abraham muttered, lost in contemplation before pressing on.

"Tell me, Nameless—

you are the sole survivor of your kind, correct?"

Nameless nodded.

"That is correct."

Abraham probed further.

"How did that happen?"

"I foresaw the demons' invasion. I tried to warn my people beforehand, but they did not listen. I alone survived."

Abraham's eyes narrowed sharply.

"How did you know the demons would attack? Can you see the future?"

Nameless replied without pause.

"Yes. I possess a visual ability that allows me to perceive most future paths… countless probabilities. Every one of them led to the demons' invasion. Frey currently holds this ability, but he is not yet capable of using it to its full extent."

Nameless referred to the Void.

Abraham's eyes narrowed even more, as if a revelation had struck.

"That is a world-boundary-breaking ability… the Law of Causality.

Where did you obtain it? Did you create it yourself?"

Nameless shook his head.

"No. I was born with it."

At that moment, Abraham stroked his chin, his doubts swiftly turning into conviction.

"Let me ask you this to confirm something.

You do not remember what drove you to pursue the breaking of the Law of Life and Death… am I correct?"

Nameless nodded.

"Yes. My current memories are limited to what is contained within the mask."

"During your journey, you studied all living beings in an attempt to understand how life works… and how death works," Abraham went on.

"To the point where one could say you were obsessed with them."

His statements drew from what Frey had shared… from Nameless's description.

Nameless offered no denial.

"You could say that. I spent most of my life pursuing the concept of life and death."

"You do not know what compelled you down that path, do you?" Abraham pressed again.

Nameless confirmed it.

Afterward, Abraham grew quiet, mulling over all he had learned.

His mind was razor-sharp—profoundly insightful—and the puzzle pieces aligned swiftly.

"What conclusion have you reached, Abraham Starlight?"

Nameless questioned, his icy stare fixed on the man before him.

Abraham held that stare, revealing his insights.

"What I am about to say are my own conclusions—ones that may be correct… or may be wrong."

He declared with a stern visage.

"Go on," Nameless urged, granting him leave to proceed.

"First—and I am certain you understand this—world-breaking abilities do not appear from nothing. They are either inherited, bestowed… or created from scratch."

"Your ability to see the future was not inherited from your predecessors, from what I understand. It was not granted to you by another entity… the likelihood of that is extremely low. And you did not create it yourself."

Abraham's logic stemmed from his personal analysis.

Even the chance of it being bestowed by another was virtually nil… for Nameless would have uncovered the granter long ago, once his strength exceeded all bounds.

He could have traced the source… if such were the truth.

"Quite clearly… every possible explanation has been eliminated in your situation. Which means something is wrong. A crucial piece is missing."

Abraham pressed forward.

"Then there is your excessive obsession with the Law of Life and Death—as though you were trying to reach its origin, to understand it in its entirety. And you believed that by achieving that, you would reach your goal… whatever it was that led you down this path in the first place."

"The cycle of life and death revolves around birth, creation… everything that lives. Your pursuit of this domain suggests that you carried unanswered questions about these very concepts."

With each utterance from Abraham, Nameless's gaze flickered faintly… as if he had pondered those very ideas himself.

"Perhaps you once asked yourself…" Abraham continued,

"Why do you possess the ability to see the future?

Why are you different from the rest of your kind?

Why do your talents and potential surpass all of theirs?"

"Why… were you born this way?"

For an instant, silence enveloped Abraham and Nameless, as Frey eavesdropped intently… straining to follow his father's line of thought.

Abraham teetered perilously near the truth.

"The reason you sought to understand life and death… the reason that explains everything—"

"—is simply this."

Abraham stated directly.

"You are like us."

"You… are a reincarnator."

The last words reverberated through the chamber.

Shock surged through Frey.

As for Nameless… his face remained utterly impassive.

"Judging by your reaction," Abraham observed deliberately,

"I assume you have considered the same possibility yourself."

Nameless did not refute it.

"Indeed… that would explain many things."

The origin of his innate future-sight was straightforward…

he had wielded it in a prior existence.

He chased the secrets of life and death to unearth his identity from before reincarnation.

And the core reason was…

"You forgot your memories. No—more accurately, you lost them."

"The memories of who you were before you became Nameless."

Nameless held no memories of his former life.

That void propelled him to dissect reincarnation's secrets… to discover his fate, his true identity… and his demise.

"You are remarkably sharp, Abraham Starlight," Nameless conceded, recognizing the man's brilliance.

"Your reasoning is very close to the conclusions I reached myself, based on the memories I still possess. As you said—there is a very high likelihood that I am a reincarnator."

"I do not know why I lost my memories of my true self before becoming part of Krat. But what I do know is that it drove me into an obsession so deep that it led to countless massacres."

Nameless validated Abraham's deduction.

"I am certain that I discovered something during my journey… but my current self is incomplete—lacking many critical memories. That is why I do not know what I uncovered exactly."

"But there is no doubt."

Nameless declared with a profound look upon his visage.

"I… was a reincarnator."

"A person who lived another life—before the world ever knew him as Nameless."
