[Ding! Would you like to know why you became The Fourth Primogenitor and recover your lost memories?]
[If you wish to obtain this knowledge, join the Adventurer Guild that connects the multiverse.]
[Do you wish to join the Adventurers Guild?]
[Y/N]
"..." —After bathing and having lunch with Nagisa, Kojou returned to his room, staring seriously at the floating screen.
"If I recover my memories, I might learn why my familiar is inside Nagisa," Kojou muttered. Ever since absorbing Asagi's blood, his connection to his familiar had grown stronger, and upon returning home, he'd sensed its presence within Nagisa.
He could clearly feel how his familiar was devouring Nagisa's life force. Even if he extracted it now, she'd only have a few years left to live.
"Damn it..." Kojou gritted his teeth in frustration and pressed [Y], his earlier excitement about the multiverse gone after realizing Nagisa's condition.
[Ding! Congratulations on joining the Adventurer Guild that connects the multiverse.]
[Please choose your adventurer name:]
"Seems I can use a pseudonym..." Kojou hesitated, unwilling to use his real name. After a moment's thought, he decided on an alias.
[Ding! Registered under the name: Lucifer.]
[Ding! The adventurer will receive a starter pack granted to all new guild members. Additionally, the guild will assist in recovering your lost memories, as promised prior to joining.]
"Grrgh...!" —As the guild's notification flashed, Kojou felt as though his skull was splitting. He bit into a pillow to muffle his screams so Nagisa wouldn't hear, while fragmented memories surged into his mind unbidden.
[The adventurer has received the following from the starter pack: Guild Card, Language, Storage Ring.]
[For more guild details, please read the guide in the screen's lower-left corner.]
After this barrage of notifications—unseen by Kojou—the guild stopped sending messages.
"..." Clenching the pillow between his teeth, Kojou remembered everything: his first meeting with Avrora four years ago, the events of the Blazing Banquet three months prior, his battle alongside Avrora against The Root, freeing Nagisa, and becoming The Fourth Primogenitor.
"I see... It all happened because of that damned father." Kojou's eyes turned crimson, betraying his fury toward Gajou. "As for Nagisa... There's nothing in my memories explaining why my familiar is inside her."
Though his restored memories held no clues about Nagisa's condition, Kojou wasn't stupid. He had a guess—one likely close to the truth.
"Now, let's see what this guild is about," he muttered, fiddling with the floating screen to distract himself. If he kept dwelling on Nagisa's state, he'd lose control and probably kill that bastard father of his.
"Huh..." Kojou exhaled as he tapped [Retrieve], feeling a cooling sensation in his mind. A card resembling an ID appeared in his hand, along with a simple black ring. "So this is the Guild Card."
He toyed with the card, made of an unknown material, before examining it. Though written in a foreign script, he could understand it—likely thanks to the [Language] ability he'd just acquired.

"No stats for strength or endurance...?" Kojou muttered, slightly disappointed. He'd expected numerical attributes like in games, but the guild apparently didn't operate that way.
"As for this ring... It's already bound to me. No one else can use it without my permission." A small screen appeared when he stared at the ring, and usage instructions flooded his mind. "All I have to do is imagine an object vanishing, and it's stored inside. The Guild Card really disappeared."
"..." Kojou could only stare in awe at the unassuming ring. He hadn't expected such a simple item to have such incredible functions—let alone infinite storage, timeless stasis, and the ability to store living beings.
"Now, let's check the new adventurer guide." He tapped the icon on the screen's left side, bracing as the guild's foundational knowledge was transmitted directly into his mind.
"..." Kojou closed his eyes, absorbing the information. This bizarre system would change his life even more than his power as The Fourth Primogenitor.
