Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!-Chapter 400 - 177: Age of Embers (10K, please follow)
This journey through the Dungeon was far from pleasant.
This is probably why the history-echoing type of Dungeon is considered one of the most troublesome among all dungeons across the continent.
When the original inhabitants and players from the past spoke of their experiences in these dungeons, their faces always bore a slightly haunted expression. However, when players actually entered these Dungeons, they found it hard to understand the feeling described by the inhabitants as "having a moment where you don’t feel like yourself anymore."
When players entered such dungeons, at most they received a series of brief descriptions about past life experiences on their system panel. Besides that, there were no manipulations regarding their memories.
Kael watched the old goblin slowly fall before him, but he said nothing.
After suppressing his own memories, he reasoned well against letting his personality be influenced by the memories of this world... probably.
Kael sighed softly.
He knew very well that he was indeed affected.
Because after reawakening his memories, he distinctly had visuals of his life in Wandong City.
Perhaps it was because he had just activated his memories that even the very first glimpse he got upon entering this world washed over him like a tidal wave.
In that vision, there were many utterly foreign scenes, as if he could see the memories of his arrival at the Dungeon every time he closed his eyes.
...Fragments of memories...
In the central hospital of Wandong City, the cry of a newborn baby echoed.
Land, sea, sky... everything seemed flattened, the looming fear left Kael gasping for breath, his mind went blank, and when he came back to his senses, exhaustion hit him so hard he found himself involuntarily taking deep breaths, but realized the sounds coming from his throat were sobs.

In the brightly white room, a woman looked at him with a gentle gaze, and a man in a deep green crisp outfit held him with a tense and stiff expression on his face.
"Sibel, since it’s a boy, let’s stick with the original name," he said.
"Yes, as you wish."
"Good!" said the man, who looked just like Anthony from his memories, his voice trembling, "Let’s name him Kael... Kael D. Helois."
That day was Kael’s first day in the new world.

Afternoon tea, herbal tea, sweet soup, and seafood in Wandong City made up the scant memories of his childhood.
In Wandong City, there weren’t many intricate occupational systems to speak of; the profession known as Mechanical Mage was one of the most common.
However, the peaceful life did not last. It soon succumbed to the ravages of war.
However, this peaceful existence didn’t last long.
...Speeding through memories...
[Location: Wandong City - National University]
[Time: the sixth year since Kael replaced a new being in the "Remnants of Empire" Dungeon]
"In ’The Collapse of the Empire,’ the last book written by an unknown bard, it was said—
We always thought that goblins’ natural enemies would come from the Evil God, or those infinite terrors beyond our world, but we never imagined it would emerge from among us, past allies who sounded the empire’s doom, driving evil spirits and monsters to swarm in, thus turning the land outside the city into a forbidden zone for goblins."
In the classroom, the project crystal on the lectern projected videos on the wall, and the raspy male voice-over narrated age-old tales—
"In the year 100 of the God Era, a sighting of a water monster unexpectedly emerging at NS Lake and attacking tourists, causing 3 deaths and 11 injuries, caught the attention of a few goblins.
We had grown accustomed to it, knowing full well that whenever the number of visitors from various races at NS Lake significantly dropped, the water monster would diligently surface to work.
We treated it as a jest, but little did we foresee it was the beginning of divine retribution; within just half a year, the dead spirits, monsters, and the hooves of allied forces had overrun much of the goblin empire.
The Goblin Ecological Grand Park saw creatures over twenty meters long crawling; so-called peace-loving elves drove wild beasts of the supreme forest to attack our cities.
In the rivers, one of our kin caught a blue-shell lobster as thick as an adult’s arm, its venom causing a family of three to die from poisoning; that was the Holy Armored Dragon Louse from sacred Briania, silently releasing deadly toxins in our waters.
Surrounding the goblin empire capital, a horde of blood-eyed crows appeared, blotting out the sky and causing widespread panic. Someone saw the Dwarf King, Copper Beard, wielding the Divine Artifact ’Thunder Skull Shattering Hammer,’ facing off against the goblin empire’s ultimate weapon, the Celestial Demon Statue, from afar.
The Magic Furnace City suddenly witnessed a large number of evil spirits and dead spirits invade, causing an outbreak of the severe dead spirit curse infection, with infected individuals displaying high aggressiveness, attacking people around them furiously."
...
"We were like beings united together, stepping towards a future era, only to be kicked back to a forsaken era, surrounded by monsters and dead spirits."
The documentary flashed through blood-soaked images one after another, finally freezing on a newspaper headline as striking as blood—’Massive Coastal Evacuation, Gathering Strength for a Counterattack’
"On November 11, 101 in the God Era, major coastal cities of the goblin empire were increasingly attacked by monsters, forcing us to withdraw from the coast and march inland.
The following March, to slow the pace of the dead spirits and monsters, over 400 ’End Bombs’ were detonated along the borders of the goblin empire, turning many areas into disaster zones of the Alchemy Storm."
