Chapter 998  The Changes in the Same World

As Rudy left the school building and made his way towards the school gates, he felt the weight of the day's events on his shoulders. His thoughts were consumed by the mysteries of time travel, his interaction with Rize, and the revelations that had unfolded.

Suddenly, a strong grip on his shoulder jolted him from his reverie. Rudy turned around to find Eric standing there. "Where are you headed?" Eric asked, his face filled with curiosity.

Rudy, still processing everything that had transpired, replied, "I'm going home, Eric."

Eric's eyes lit up with enthusiasm as he asked, "Want to play some soccer? The guys are getting a game together."

Rudy thought for a moment, tempted by the idea of joining in the fun. However, he shook his head and said, "I appreciate the offer, but I've got something I need to take care of at home."

With that, Rudy continued on his way. He was so lost in his thoughts that he paid little attention to his surroundings. His focus was solely on the path ahead as he walked through the familiar streets of his town. The town had changed in many ways over the years, and Rudy couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia as he took in the sights and sounds.

When he was near his house, he finally allowed himself to glance around, taking a good look at the town he had left behind. It was a bittersweet moment, filled with memories of the past and a renewed appreciation for the present. Rudy realized that despite the mysteries and challenges he faced, he was grateful for the chance to experience his hometown once again after all those years.

As Rudy continued his walk through the village, something caught his eye that left him shocked and disbelieving. In the heart of the village, where there had been nothing but open space in the future he remembered, now stood a tall tower. It was an unexpected sight, and Rudy couldn't help but stare in astonishment.

As he got closer and closer to his house, he realized that the tower was actually situated just a few feet away from his home. It had taken the place of the forest that had once thrived behind his house. The forest of his childhood memories had been replaced by this ancient and unique tower, filled with intricate inscriptions and adorned with ancient architectural details.

Rudy couldn't tear his gaze away from the tower, its presence filling him with a sense of wonder and intrigue. It didn't appear to be a modern structure; it felt like a relic of a distant past, a time that Rudy had never experienced in his original timeline.

Despite the tower's mysterious and perplexing appearance, Rudy had one burning desire at the forefront of his mind. He needed to go home and reunite with his mother, Rebecca. It had been years since he had last seen her, and now, thanks to the enigma of time travel, he had a chance to be with her again in the past. With his heart full of anticipation and curiosity, Rudy quickened his pace, heading toward the place he had once called home.

Rudy's hands trembled with anticipation as he approached the front door of his home. Opening the door felt like the realization of a long-held dream, a moment he had been yearning to live again. With a deep breath, he turned the doorknob and pushed the door open.

"Mom, I'm home!" he called out, his voice filled with excitement and a touch of anxiety. The echoes of his announcement reverberated through the empty house, but there was no response.

Rudy kicked off his shoes by the entrance and began to search the house, room by room. He moved through the familiar spaces, but the house was devoid of life. He couldn't find any sign of his mother, Rebecca.

Slightly disappointed but understanding that Rebecca might be out at work, he let out a weary sigh. He decided to head upstairs to his room, the room where he had spent countless hours of his life

As he entered his room, a rush of memories flooded over him. The room was just as he remembered it, filled with his old books, stuff, and the familiar scent of home. Rudy took a moment to relish the nostalgia before deciding to head to the bathroom for a nice, warm bath.

The soothing water helped calm his trembling hands and racing thoughts. As he relaxed in the bath, Rudy couldn't help but marvel at the strange journey he had embarked upon. He was back in the past, in his childhood home, and the mysteries of time travel still hung in the air, waiting to be unraveled.

Rudy emerged from the warm bath, a sense of relaxation washing over him. He reached for his school bag and rummaged inside, eventually retrieving his phone. He chuckled as he gazed at the cracked screen. "My first phone," he muttered with a fond smile, reminiscing about the times he had used it in his past.

Dialing his mother's number, he waited anxiously for her to pick up. After a few rings, Rebecca's voice came through the other end of the line. The sound of her voice tugged at Rudy's heartstrings, and he felt a surge of emotion.

"Rudy? Can you hear me?" she asked, concern in her voice.

Rudy cleared his throat, feeling overwhelmed by the unexpected connection. "Yes, Mom, it's me. Can you tell me where you are?"

Rebecca, still puzzled, answered, "I'm at work, sweetie. Is something wrong?"

Rudy needed to see her, to be with her, to make sure this wasn't a dream. His heart skipped a beat with the realization that he was closer to reuniting with his mother than he had ever been in years. He couldn't contain his excitement as he responded, "Tell me where exactly, Mom"

Rebecca, growing more worried by the second, inquired, "Rudy, what's going on?"

Rebecca, still puzzled by the sudden urgency in Rudy's voice, gave in and said, "I'm at Eleanor's convenience store."

Rudy wasted no time. He thanked his mother and hastily hung up the phone. With his heart pounding, he quickly got dressed and left his house, eager to finally meet with the woman he had missed so dearly over the years.

As Rudy left his house to meet his mother, he was completely unaware of the peculiar and mysterious observer who watched from a distance. A young boy, resembling Rudy, stood in the shadows, his gaze fixed on the departing figure.

With the same glowing, bright white orb in his hand, the enigmatic child murmured softly to himself, "I will give it to you once you have met all your harem members."
