Pink petals floated lightly in the air, layer upon layer, like waves one after another.
The fragrance of the flowers was intoxicating, and even a guest like Victor felt a gentle freshness.
Rachel's Ocean of Knowledge
In the game world, this map is famous for this name.
However, from Viktor's perspective, since he no longer has a player panel and cannot see anyone's level or health bar,
Therefore, Viktor's name did not appear on this map.
But he was familiar with this place.
After all, in his previous life, his first encounter with that long watermelon was in this very back garden of Rachel.
However, it's easy to imagine that what drew him into this back garden wasn't Rachel, but rather that long watermelon.
That is, the great wizard Loki.
Loki possesses the magical ability to transform into anything, including birds and beasts.
It's not surprising that it became a long, talking watermelon.
Viktor, who already knew about this, did not hesitate at all.
He strode quickly across the soft sea of petals beneath his feet, the petals fluttering around him like waves.
They headed straight for the wooden house ahead.
Whoosh—
The door to the cabin opened easily with Victor's magic, then slammed against the wooden wall behind it with a loud bang.
The long, thin watermelon had already placed itself on the table.
It turned its head and looked at Victor in an extremely strange manner.
Victor didn't hesitate either; with a thought, he used magic to pull up a chair and sat down.
He stared indifferently at the watermelon, then his voice rang out calmly:
"You know me?"
Watermelon closed his eyes, remained silent for a moment as if digesting Viktor's words, and then slowly opened his eyes.
"Your name is probably known to very few people in this world."
The meaning conveyed by the watermelon strips is quite simple.
It's not like a shut-in otaku who always stays cooped up.
With the magic of the Natural Sparrow, the Archmage can perceive the world at any time.
Like Viktor, who shocked the world from birth and became a global sensation.
Few people don't know who he is.
“But you just called me the ‘victor’.”
Viktor narrowed his eyes, a dangerous glint flashing in his obsidian-like pupils, sharp yet faintly concealed.
"Loki, just how much do you know?"
As the name "Loki" faded away, Watermelon reopened his eyes.
His eyes gleamed with a profound and wise light, as if he had realized something, and he spoke:
"You are indeed a being of reincarnation."
"This world truly does have cycles of reincarnation."
When Viktor revealed his real name...
Watermelon Strips seemed to have finally grasped the deep secrets of this world, and even his tone gradually became more relaxed.
"Ever since you first appeared in the Northern Frontier and disrupted all my plans, I have realized that you are indeed extraordinary."
"You seem to have a complete premonition of what will happen in the world at what time, and you are constantly changing the inevitable outcome of each event."
"From that moment on, I knew that you, just like your name, were a winner who was destined to never lose."
"Therefore, I abandoned all my attempts to test you."
Whether it's the Goddess of Justice or the Heroic Spirit Oberyl, the Archmage had already revealed these characters to Victor in the previous cycle.
These were all part of his plan to test the meaning of Viktor's 'name'.
However, Victor was only five years old at the time, yet he had already resolved the calamity that he had prepared for the Delin family.
This alone is enough for Viktor to prove the significance of his name.
This is why Loki addressed Victor as the 'Victor' upon their first meeting.
He no longer needed to test Viktor.
And when Victor called out his real name, Loki was even more certain.
Only those who have experienced endless cycles of reincarnation can learn their true name in these cycles.
Even if the other party knew the name Odin, it wouldn't be enough to make Loki so certain.
He believed that Viktor might have learned of the name through some means, perhaps from Rachel.
The name 'Loki' is an absolute secret that belongs only to him.
He couldn't possibly have leaked it to the outside world.
"And I know that you will come looking for me eventually."
At this point, the relaxed Watermelon Strips spoke with a more composed tone, his words revealing calmness and wisdom, and all doubts in his heart were gone.
"Although I don't know what you went through in the last reincarnation, it seems you've been making up for something."
"It's as if they deliberately blend into this world, trying to weave a perfect ending for everyone."
"Therefore, as long as you are a reincarnator, you will definitely come to find me."
Because the answer is simple.
“You know my identity, you know all my plans, and you understand my ultimate goal.”
Yes, that was Ragnarok.
No matter how beautiful the story of this cycle may be, it will ultimately be unable to escape Ragnarok.
It was precisely because Loki understood this that when he saw Victor gradually perfecting the ending, he understood...
Viktor will eventually find him, the instigator of Ragnarok, and try to prevent Ragnarok from happening at its source.
"Ragnarok succeeded, right?"
