1935: No Meaning

No Meaning

Obviously, such a place would be great for the twins. But there wasn't much of a need for it since the twins had their own fragments in the Dimensional Realm. In the end, the only thing that interested them there was the fragment itself, wherever it may be.1

In any case, things worked out pretty well on the twins' side. The sect members were allowed to come and go to their training and used the demon beast territories in the surroundings to the fullest. Another thing was that the twins gradually captured more demon beasts for the Dimensional Realm. They even got some aquatic ones for the ocean.

As mentioned before, a few of the demon beasts were in the Transition Realm. That's because Celis wanted a few more of them to help keep the rest under control. With Kentucky and Celis's Divine Bloodline, it wasn't hard to get them to agree to become part of the System Sect in the Dimensional Realm. It's just that they were all in the Initial Stage of the Transition Realm since the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm only accepted beings at that level or below.

And just like that, several months went by as Calina's belly grew. 

Qia got the same wish as well. So she and Rean did the same thing, quickly making both the twins fathers-to-be. Well, if one looked at the System Sect as a whole, there were many couples and kids that were born since its creation. The twins were far from being the only ones there. Kentucky and Celis were out of the question, though. Neither of them wanted anything to do with kids. 

For a cultivator, the period for pregnancy really meant nothing. Nine months passed in a blink of an eye. Or, better yet, twelve months since Qia only got pregnant three months after Calina. Yes, Roan's kid ended up being three months older than Rean's.

Their only problem was deciding on a name. "What do you mean by Roan Junior? That's absolutely unacceptable," Roan complained with a dark expression.

Calina didn't see a problem, though. "Why? He's your son, so it should be normal, no?"

"The lack of individuality," Roan answered. "He has to become someone who can stand on his own feet. But what will that be? When they think about 'Roan,' they'll think about me first. Besides, I've never liked my name."

That was true. Roan hated the day that Turen and Hamarlia found out they would have twins. Due to fate or whatever, they had decided that Rean would have the same name as his previous life, obviously Rean again. That caused the couple to give the second boy a similar name, which was obviously Roan. Rean used that fact to annoy Roan countless times during their first years on Sunkan Planet.

"Tch... then what name do you want to give him?" Calina could only give up on the idea.

Roan pondered over it for a bit before saying, "It has to be something that won't remind you about someone else. Giving a known name to your child will definitely make you think about that person. I don't like that. Once you hear your child's name, he has to be the only one that comes to your mind."

"That's quite selfish." Rean suddenly appeared as he patted Roan's shoulder.

Roan glared at him and brushed his hand away. "Have you ever seen me not be selfish? If not because I would die as a result, I would have left you to die many times already."

"Hmph!" Rean snorted in response. "You talk like I was the only one to get close to Roaning(dying). Don't forget that it was our joint effort, me included, that allowed you to escape alive many times."

Roan didn't seem to be listening, though. "It can be anything new. Let's see... how about Orgeo?"

"Or... Orgy?" Rean asked back.

*Clang!*

Suddenly, Roan attacked Rean with his scythe, just for Rean to react quickly enough and block it with his sword. "Hey, you're the one who came up with the name, not me."

"Fuck you!" Roan was fuming. "Who the hell said orgy? Orgeo, I said Orgeo! It's a completely different name!"

Calina used her Divine Energy to protect her and the child while the twins bickered. "You see, that's how your uncle and father always act. Make sure not to grow up like them."

Roan heard that and finally put his scythe away. "Just get out of here, all of you."

Kentucky, who was also there looking at the kid, immediately complained. "Why? I didn't say anything."

"But you were thinking about it," Roan answered straight away.

"T-That's not true..." Kentucky's expression completely betrayed his real intentions. 

"First of all, who the hell thought about this Roaning thing? I ignored it at first, but it's truly getting on my nerves." Roan looked around, showing a terrifying expression.

"It's such a nice day outside, don't you think?" Rean looked through the window, pretending he didn't hear anything. It was nighttime...

Calina giggled a little after that. It wasn't Rean who had thought of the idea but herself. It's just that she 'accidentally' let Rean hear about it once. Roan, of course, knew that. But he couldn't possibly pass up on the chance to shift the blame for something Roan hated.

Celis ignored the Roaning thing and gave his opinion. "Leaving orgy aside, how about Alen?"

"The orgy remark was unnecessary," Roan still complained. "However, Alen..."

Calina looked at the boy and nodded with a smile. "Celis, you're quite good at it. Alen fits him very well. Does it have any meaning?"

Celis was puzzled as he replied, "I didn't know it had to have a meaning. Rean insisted that I should be here, so I just thought, whatever. Well, if you like it, can I head back to the Dimensional Realm and cultivate again?" Sure enough, that was the reason why Celis even bothered saying anything at all.

Yet, Roan liked exactly that. "If we look into it, we probably can find countless meanings across the universe for the name Alen. Yet, Celis gave it without thinking about such bullshit, so I'll accept it."
