So this is guy who brought me here!
"What a nice place to meet. Why dont we meet directly?" He asked sarcastically.
He heard a chuckle.
"What kind of a host would I be if I kill my guest?" The voice was laughing.
'Is he saying I will die the moment I see him?'
"Are you angry that you were brought here?"
The voice asked him.
"Ofcourse I am. I already had a good life back then. Why did you ruin it?"
"Good life? How do you know it was a good life?" The voice asked, amused by his lie.
"You erased my memories about my life. It must have been good and you erased it so I don't feel any regret." He stated whatever came in his mind.
The voice laughed again.
"Your world was destined to be destroyed. I did you a favor."
Destined to be destroyed? What the fuck does it mean? Destroyed by what?
"Obviously by me. Who else?" The voice said, reading his thoughts.
"My fate must be filled with mind reading creeps. To think I met 2 of them on my first day."

"It is a basic ability that all supreme and absolute beings get. Did Celestes not told you?" The voice asked, surprised.
'Wait what? I always believed it was something special only Celestes had. And now I feel dumb.'
The voice countinued rambling, paying no heed to his embarrassment.
"She is so irresponsible. If I knew this, I could have chose someone else."
The voice sighed.
"Why did you even kill her? If you wanted someone to guide me, you could have killed yourself." He smirked
"Why do you keep wanting to kill yourself?" the voice replied not caring for his childish efforts at making fun of him.
His smirk froze.
'Damn. I keep forgetting that I can die just by looking at him. What if his soul was stiched with me?' he stopped, not even wanting to think about it.
"I would give an advice. Stay safe from darkness." The voice sounded genuinely caring.
'Darkness? But I am safe here. Is there any other kind of darkness?'
"Nothing is happening because I am here. The moment I leave, some really creepy things will start attacking, trying to eat you."
'What!? Darkness was this dangerous?Fortunately the mine had crystals lighting the way. In the future I have to plan accordingly.'
"See. If I hadn't adviced you, in the future you would have gone into the darkness unprepared. Now won't you thank your benefactor?"
He didn't replied.
The voice didn't care about it.
After some time the voice talked again.
"Your fate amazed me. That's why I transmigrated you."
"What? What was my fate that amazed you so much that you had to ruin a life?" He sounded annoyed.
"Your fate doesn't have a clear end. I have seen a lot of fates and each clearly showed what will they do. Some brought great happiness to their families while other were filled with tragedy. Your's however had none."
He didn't said anything as he didn't understand.
The voice sighed.
"You were choosing a name, right? Atleast Celestes knew what to do. I apologise if you already had a name, but I will give you one."
"Hey wait. Why would you give me a name?Atleast let me choose it myself. You already gave me a shit body and a shit future." He shouted.
But the voice didn't care.
"From now on, your name is Ashes."
"Go on and show me what will you become."
"Ashes of the present era, ushering a new era of peace."
Or
"Ashes of humanity."
He opened his eyes. Above him was a ceiling full of rainbow crystals.
He slowly sat up. His mind hasn't cleared yet.
"You are finally awake. I thought you were dead. How is your body feeling?" Celestes asked in relief.
"It's fine. My body is in perfect condition. I haven't felt this strong ever before."
He was sensing something in his body. Something he hasn't sensed before.
This must be aether.
He sensed a water puddle a few meters away.
He stood up and walked towards it.
Reaching the puddle he kneeled and stared at his face. It felt familiar and unfamiliar at the same time.
His body had undergone extreme modification to match his soul, his 'True Name'.
"What name did you choose? And what class are you in?" Celestes asked excitedly.
He spoke while looking at his reflection.
"Ashes. My name is Ashes. A peak Elder."
