[As part of the agreement she previously made with the Records, Kiara is regaining her memory.]

  Mikael didn’t fully uand but pressed on. “Is she safe?”

  [Yes. She is pletely safe and will not be in danger during this process.]

  Reassured, he calmed down and began pieg things together. ‘Regaining her memory? Like a past life?’ he wondered before voig his question to the Records.

  [To receive an answer, you must ask Kiara. Providing information would viote the terms of her agreement.]

  “What agreement?” Mikael asked, frustrated.

  [For further details, you’ll o ask Kiara.]

  Realizing he wouldn’t get any answers for now, Mikael decided to wait for her to wake up. He adjusted his positioing her head rest fortably on his thighs, and begaly caressing her hair.

  At the same time all of this was happening on Mikael's side, Kiara had just "woken up." Her eyes opened, and she found herself standing in plete darkness, uo see anything, not even the floor or ceiling, if they existed. She was fused, as acc to the knowledge she had as an AI, this shouldn't be happening during the process Mikael had used to acquire her.

  “gratutions, it's a baby girl!”

  Surprised, Kiara turned around and saw a rge s hanging in the void. On the s, a hospital room was dispyed, showing a nurse handing a newborn baby girl to a woman lying in the bed, her expression tired. The woman was of rare beauty, with dark blue hair and light blue eyes, gazing at the baby with a tender, maternal smile.

  Standing beside her was a handsome man with brown hair and dark blue eyes. He, too, was looking at the baby, but his expression was more serious. Yet, tenderness shone in his eyes.

  Kiara was even more fused. She didn't uand why she was watg this se unfold like some kind of movie. Oddly enough, she felt a strange sense of familiarity with what was happening. Curious, she tinued watg.

  The woman, exhausted, extended a fio gently touch the infant, who giggled softly. The mother smiled and said, “I’ll call you Kiara, my little angel.”

  Outside, Kiara was struck by a bolt of realization. ‘This is me!!??’ she inwardly excimed, stuhen immediately tried to deny it. ‘No, not necessarily. It could just be a ce!’ she thought, nodding to herself as if trying to vince herself.

  She tinued watg the “movie,” now even more intrigued. She quickly learhat the woman with dark blue hair and light blue eyes was named Heather Dreyfus, and the man beside her was Keln Dreyfus. They had been married for several years, aher had just given birth to a beautiful daughter named Kiara Dreyfus. The ses accelerated, only showing brief glimpses of what happened .

  As baby Kiara grew older, adult Kiara learned more about the world the “story” was taking p. It was set on a p called Blue Star, which, while simir to Earth in terms of teology, had some differences.

  tries and cities on Blue Star were named after letters of the alphabet. For instance, Kiara’s family lived in try M, City B. While this was a minor differehere were other, more signifit aspects of life on Blue Star that stood out.

  Unlike Earth, Blue Star was home to powerful s, such as Peng, Wang, Qin… which held vast wealth and influehese s could operate with little regard for the w, although they were still strained by certain limits. It was clear that these s were incredibly powerful.

  Another difference from Earth was the existenartial artists—individuals who had pushed their bodies to the limits and mastered martial arts. These martial artists could break walls with their bare hands, and the most powerful among them could even harheir internal energy to perform extraordinary feats.

  Martial artists generally gathered around powerful s, which offered better ditions for training. This, in turn, increased the s’ influence, creating a cycle where those who wished to beartial artists had to join a or faearly impossible hardships.

  Adult Kiara was learning all of this as she watched the events unfold. Meanwhile, the young Kiara, only four years old, was blissfully unaware of these plexities.

  “Mom! Look at my drawing!” the excited child Kiara excimed.

  Heather took the colorful drawing in her hand and said with an impressed tone, “Wow, it’s a really beautiful drawing! You’re so talented, my little angel. you expin it to me?”

  Kiara giggled happily, filling the room with joy. “Look! It’s dad in his car going to work! And there’s you, pying with me, and right here is me pying with you!” she said proudly.

  As Kiara grew, simir ses tinued. She entered elementary school, where she was initially quite lonely. Timid and shy, she didn’t know how to make friends. Over time, though, she mao form a few close retionships, though she remained mostly reserved.

  By the age of eight, Kiara’s resembo the adult Kiara watg the ses became undeniable. The realization hit her. ‘This is really me!?’ she thought, having had her doubts sihe start, but now seeing the undeniable likeness.

  At eight, she already had dark hair and blue eyes, with a high iy simir to the adult Kiara’s. Though there were some differences due to age, she was certain that as the “movie” progressed, the likeness would bee even more apparent.

  Kiara was full of questions. Was this really her memory? But she didn’t remember any of it. And, as an AI created by the Records, why did it seem like she had lived a life before? She didn’t uand, but she kept watg.

  As Kiara tio grow, her personality began to take shape. By the time she was ten, her is had already developed. She loved pying video games in her free time and spent a lot of time with her family, especially her mother, with whom she was very close. She was a little less close to her father, who was often away at work, but she loved him all the same.

  Though she enjoyed video games and spending time with her family, Kiara’s true passion was art—whether it ainting, drawing, or listening to or pying music. She had a natural talent in these areas.

  By the age of eleven, she had entered middle school, and boys began to take notice of her. As she blossomed into a beauty, she received love letters and attention, but Kiara wasn’t ied. She was far more focused on her art and had no time for boys.

  Years passed in a simir fashion. Kiara attracted more and more attentioo her beauty, but she remained single, always focused on her art. Occasionally, she would py video games, but her love for art always came first.

  Because of this, she didn’t have many friends, but holy, she didn’t mind. When she was younger, she had been more timid and reserved, wanting friends, but as she grew older, those things didn’t matter much to her. She was happy being alone in her world. Her parents worried about her, as she was often by herself, but that was simply who she was.

  As Kiara watched these memories unfold, she began tnize more and more of herself in what was happening on s. ‘Art?’ she thought. ‘I’ve never really tried it, but maybe I will when I get out of here. Seeing this makes me want to try!’ she decided, before tinuing to watch.

  By the time she was 16, Kiara had already blossomed into a beautiful young woman, gaining some fame after beiured in the news for winning art petitions and having some of her paintings dispyed at art exhibitions.

  She was happy about this reition because it was her art that was being aowledged, which filled her with joy. The feassed in a simir fashion, with her attending school and doing art whenever she had free time.

  By the time she turned 19, Kiara entered an art uy, eager to tinue learning and develop her craft.

  On the day she left for the uy, she said goodbye to her parents a her small, cozy house in the tryside, which was surrounded by forests.

  After leaving her home, she took several buses to the city, where she got off at her destination. As she walked through the city toward her new uy, she was in a good mood, unaware that she was attrag the attention of someone.

  A young man in his early 20s, dressed in luxurious modern clothes, spotted Kiara walking nearby. A lustful gleam flickered in his eyes. “Go check her background,” he told a strong-looking man standio him, who simply nodded before heading off to follow his orders.

  Kiara, outside, sehat something was wrong a a knot form iomach. Her heart began to race with an uling feeling, but she tio watow almost certain that these events were part of her memories. Her ay deepened as the se tio unfold.

  Meanwhile the 19 years old Kiara was pletely unaware of what was happening, and tinued on her way, soon arriving at the uy for her first day.

  And how did it go? She loved it. Although she hadn’t been a fan of school before, now nearly all the courses were tered around her passion, and it instantly caught her i.

  She took the same trip bae, surprised at how great the day had been. She followed the same routihe day.

  However, when she arrived home, she was in for a surprise. Normally, a white Ford arked in front of her house, but this time, there was also a red Ferrari and a bck SUV.

  Intrigued, she opehe door. “We don’t accept this,” she heard her mother say in a distressed tone.

  Worried, Kiara quied her pad ehe living room, where her parents were sitting on the couch. In front of them, on another couch, was a young man in his early 20s, dressed in luxurious clothes. Behind him stood two burly men in bck, silent and still.

  The young man, notig Kiara enter, smiled. “Why don’t we ask the ied party?” he said.

  Heather spoke up, trying to calm the situation. “Treasure, you do what you want. We will support you. You aren’t forced to do anything!”

  Keln nodded in agreement, showing his support.

  Kiara, fused, asked with a frown on her face, sensing something wasn’t right. “Mom, what’s happening? I don’t uand what you’re talking about?”

  The young man made a small gesture with his hand, and one of the burly men behind him spoke. “Our young master, Wang Wei, is ied in you and wants to offer you the honor of being his e.”

  Kiara was stunned. Although she had received fessions before, it had never been like this—people intruding into her home and her the role of a e. Anger bubbled up inside her, but she mao trol it.

  After a quice at her parents, who wore supportive expressions, she spoke with a subtle, sarcastie. “I appreciate the ‘honor,’ but I’m not ied in aionship. I just want to tinue my studies.”

  Wang Wei, angered by her reje, couldn’t believe that a woman who should have been honored of his attention would dare refuse him. “Are you sure about your choice?” he asked, his voice dripping with menace.

  Kiara was about to respond, but Heather cut her off. “My daughter already said that she’s not ied!” she decred firmly.

  The young man’s face turned red with anger. “Good, good. You don’t want to be mine, huh?” His voice grew cold, “I’ll show you the sequences of rejeg such a generous offer.”

  “Kill her parents!” he ordered the two men behind him.

  “Uood,” they replied in unison. In that moment, Kiara’s mi bnk, and a wave of fear and ay gripped her heart as she feared for her parents’ safety. Before she could eve or say anything, the two burly men moved toward them.
