Chapter 190: I Beat People With Depression

Perseus POV

"Wait, none of them are mine?" Leilah asked

"Well, I mean, if I marry you in the future, they are still technically your children."

"Did you ask them if I have any children with you?"

"I didn't and I don't want to either, knowing lesser information is better."

"What if I died in the future?" Leilah is now the one starting to panic "The novel is named after my title, what if the author is you from the future all along? And all of this is just a novel dedicated to me, a story from your perspective? I mean, his username is literally the same as your name."

Huh...I never thought of that, what if the author is actually...me?

|No.|

"We don't know that. I could have failed in the future and then I send my own children to the past in hopes of changing for a better future, causing some sort of paradox, Orion was very secretive, it's good cuz I don't wanna know what happens."

"Tch, still can't believe I don't have the opportunity to see my own blood child." she pouted "You have children with my little sisters, and yet...hmph."

Her grip around my hand is a bit bone-crushing in the literal sense, she's angry and all I can do is just use healing magic on myself while doing my best to comfort her, she is not happy about this whole situation, so am I, but at least I don't have a knife to my throat. Or Lilith who almost killed me.

I have a matchup tomorrow, and today is my day off, supposed to be my free day and going around to explore the nearby ships and festivals, and yet it is ruined in the worst way imaginable, at least the hotel we live at has several floors underground where participants and their family can shop inside safely if they don't wanna go outside, though it's all luxurious items, even got a casino and everything.

My family left that morning to explore the whole thing and came back in the afternoon since they want to rest a bit as well as tomorrow, they have plans to go out all day and watch my match which takes place at 6pm, so it's going to be a bit tiring.

Ruka and Lilith came first though, and sure enough, 3 people came along with them, Orion, and with him, one guy and one girl, both looks slightly younger than them.

"That one is...'our' son, Asher, ugh, I can't believe my future self likes you, what is wrong with me?" Ruka complained "Oh and apparently they can't tell us their age apart from Orion."

Make sense, I shouldn't know the order in how my future children are born. The guy Ruka pointed at is about 175cm tall, he has smooth white skin like Ruka, and he got black hair and blue eyes.

"I have all your blood samples and if you're wondering, they're all a match." Lilith added and then introduced the girl who is shuffling nervously "She's Ivy Silver, Maple's daughter."

She's about 171 cm tall, she has white skin, brown hair like Maple's with a small white streak and she has dark brown eyes. A mixture of my features and Maple's, well, I guess that she is my daughter after all.

And in the moment of awkward silence, the door opened and my parents came in and saw our guests.

"Oh, are you busy?" Mom Rylee asked

"No, yes, no...just come in, I need a lot of mental support here."

"Oh no, this never happened."

*****

When everyone got introduced to the fact that these people are my children, they were first laughing it off before Lilith show the blood resonance process or whatever with Healer Beek watching every move and seeing that it was a match with no wrong step, that shut everyone up real quick, and Ruka just covers her face with a loud sigh.

This world doesn't really study the concept of time or time travel, so it's basically unknown, there are a couple of books and papers which was written by previous heroes, but it's mostly not studied at all, and I've read them, but they don't really dive deeper than what I already know.

Orion told every the simplest explanation of time travel and kept quiet about the rest since he doesn't want to leak any more than necessary, but man, this situation is just confusing, I have children...I know that I have had that talk with Leilah, but I'm still not ready for the situation yet.

"Does that make me an uncle?" Vince asked

"Yeah, weird huh, 2 looks my age or slightly older while Orion is actually older...uh, my head hurts."

"So if the concept of time travel comes from the other side, and these 3 possess a device that can do so...that means you plan on going into the world of the heroes..." Chief Aminu muttered "What for?"

"Uh, personal reasons."

The chief is too smart for his own good, he was barely told anything and he narrowed it down to that, damn it.

"Well, I don't see what you need to be so stressed for." Grandpa Wager spoke up "Look at these little critters, I may not live long enough to even see them born, much less grown up, I'm happy for this opportunity."

While all 3 of my grandparents are fawning over the kids, my parents are still sitting there contemplating life.

Well, one good thing is that my family is more protected now since Orion seems to be a pretty strong guy, the other 2 is around the 6th star level as well, and with my blood, that shouldn't be an issue.

"So um dad, what do you need us here for?" Orion asked

"Well, first, I need to know all your fighting prowess, future me said I can ask for your help, so I plan to make full use of it while not messing with our timeline too much."

"Oh, I'm an archery instructor, so magic, archery, a bit of close combat." he answered

"Oh taking after your mother, that's a great start."
