"Time manipulation? Going back into time? Considering other weird stuff in the world, I guess its possible, but I know nothing about it and have never experienced it. 

"Is there a specific reason for you to ask that?" Corey Park inquired in suspicion. 

From the way both the Corey's reacted, I could read that Bright had no idea what I was hinting at, but Park seemed to have caught my drift. So I responded to her, saying, "An hour early I was at a dinner meeting, a funny thing happened there, I had the same dinner twice. If you catch my drift." 

Even though I did not have dinner with Rami Kaga, I lied to make a point to Corey Park. By saying that I had the same dinner twice, I was hinting to her that I had my dinner and then went back in time and had it again. 

"..." Corey Park became quiet and contemplated, while Corey buzzed, "You had dinner twice and still ask for bbq, aren't you a glutton." 

"Corey, shut up." Corey Park asked Corey Bright to be quiet. Then she looked at me with a deadpan expression as she said, " Funny, an hour ago, I killed the same horned rabbit twice. What are the odds that we both experience the same situation? 

Corey Park got what I was implying and used the same trick as mine to indicate that she understood what I was saying and hint at her experience with the time rewind. By saying that she hunted the same horned-hare twice, she implied that she killed a horned-hare and went back in time to kill again. By using this way to convey her concern about the time rewind, I was sure that Corey Park, similar to me, was also afraid of the being behind the time disturbance. 

"What about Corey? Did she kill the same horned-hare twice?" I asked Corey Park about Corey Bright whether she had experienced the time rewind same as us. Because I believed that Corey Bright was indeed foolish enough not to understand what I was hinting at. 

"No, she is not as aware as us. She missed it." It seems only Corey Park noticed the time rewind. This was intriguing. 

"You two, you know I am right here, right? Park, what do you mean by I am not as aware as you two? Are you calling me stupid?" Corey felt that the other two were mocking her right in front of her. 

"Bright, honey, not everything's about you. Please don't interrupt us. It is considered rude." Park pacified her younger reincarnation and added, "Wyatt, Do you know why, when, and how?" 

"I don't know. Therefore I came to you for an answer." However, Park's question was very vague. I knew what she was talking about, and without addressing the elephant, I told her what I had learned. So far, that is nothing. 

"How am I supposed to know about it? I don't even belong to this world? But what prompted you to find us in the first place? You must have found something; otherwise, you would not come searching for us. Tell me, what did you find?" Corey Park quickly spotted that my intent to visit the dungeon was to ask them about the time rewind, which made her know that I knew something about time rewind, which made me find them to ask about it instead of others. 

"You are right. I have a theory. We are more aware than others because our souls are different. You are from another world, and my soul is mutated. I thought Corey would also be the same as us. It seems my assumption was wrong, and she is normal, but her origin card isn't." I only conveyed the half-truth about my soul because one, I don't have to share everything with Park, and second, I don't want to. 

"I see, anyway, stop investigating further into this matter. With our current strength, it is better if we don't search for more trouble. If ypu want to do as you please but keep me out of this, Bright makes enough trouble already. I don't want you adding more to my plate. Whatever you decide, remember to be careful. " Corey Park was right. Investigation in the time rewind event would do me more harm than good. Except for feeding my curiosity, I would gain nothing from exploring this venture. I have hit a dead-end anyway. It is in my best interest to give up now. So I decided to heed Corey Park's advice and back off for now. 

But my visit to the dungeon wasn't a total waste. I was able to confirm my theory that the time rewind didn't affect me because my soul doesn't belong to this world. This is a great discovery. Even the world bending power like time also has an unexpected loophole. This would come in handy when facing card apprentices with time-related cards, though these cards are almost nonexistent. Still, it is good to one that I am practically immune to time-related skills in this world. 

"If you two are done, I would like to head back. I promised my mother that I would cook for her. And it is getting late." Corey Bright finally spoke up. She did not understand what made Corey Park and her boss talk so seriously, but her patience had run thin, so she did not care and wanted to return to the campfire and cook a delicious meal for her mother, who is suffering from lovesickness. Right now, her mother needs her more than ever. 

"Corey, I have one last question. This is for you. How sure are you that Susan is your reincarnated mother from a past life? Don't you think Susan looking like your past mother could just be a coincidence?" Am I being a skeptic? Considering that I am a transmigrator, Corey Bright is a reincarnate, and Corey Park is a summoned ghost flame from another realm, I, of all people, don't have the right to be skeptical about this matter. Still, I think Corey assuming Susan as her mother was far-fetched. 

"You take that back."
