“What is that?” Adam almost dropped the magic mirror when he saw the massive blue ball rotating in the dark. There were countless small light spots surrounding it, and he thought those were stars. “That…? Isn’t it the world you were resting in, master?” “The world?” Adam walked to the giant window in a daze. All this time, he only heard the name world, but now he was looking at it. “Wait! The world is supposed to be in the universe. Then… Where am I?” “You are in your palace, master. It is just outside this world. I brought it here as you commanded.” “I commanded? When did I command that?” “Time? It is a weird concept, master. To be exact… It was about two years ago from that world’s time. I wonder why you wanted me to bring it here after such a long time.” ‘Two years? Isn’t that the time I got the system? Was it something done by the system?’ He thought it was the only possibility. The system was the one that gave him the ability to summon the spirit wolf. ‘But why?’ He l
Adam opened his eyes after an unknown amount of time. He didn’t expect such pain at a time like this. It was as if something was trying to drill out of his head. ‘These memories… They aren’t mine.’He remembered the so-called memory fragments he saw when he almost died in the north. However, these were of use to him, especially since he was in an unknown place. Still, he realised something. Something inside his head was preventing him from getting all these memories. The pain he had to endure was because of this. He felt like he was squeezing these memories out of a tunnel full of sharp thorns. “Master… Are you alright?”“Yeah.”Adam felt Mahisha standing near him.He slowly stood up and waved his hand. The memories he got were enough for him to understand this place. Not everything, but some basic idea about what he could do. With a wave of his hand, a white couch rose from the ground. It gave him a slight pain inside, but it wasn’t much. He realised what happened earlier had da
“Master.”“Hm?”Adam took his eyes off the book.He was reading a book about the history of the galaxy while his fingers continuously controlled the power of the Abyss. Even though he wasn’t proficient in it, the advancement he had during the past couple of days was indeed satisfying.“They are all gathered, master.”“You are done preparing them?”“Yes, master.”“Let’s go and see.”Adam didn’t mind Mahisha’s emotionless tone. It was the same as the first day he came here. This manifestation was the will of the Abyss itself. It had enough intelligence and power. As for human emotions, Adam didn’t mind Mahisha not having it much. However, he felt it would be intimidating to someone else if they considered Mahisha’s rough voice, yet he never felt like that. ‘Maybe because of these strange memories.’Every knowledge he had in his mind gave him a sense of familiarity and belonging to the Abyss.He saw the faint image of the wolf vanish from the castle library. ‘Sigh.’Adam looked at the
‘Sigh. I guess I have no other option for now.’Until he was strong enough to find the memories buried in his mind, he couldn’t do anything about the situation. Besides, he was looking at the scene below him. The West Coast was already below the Abyss. If he wanted to leave, he had to go now. “Mahisha. I’ll be leaving.”“Yes, Master.”Adam looked at this gloomy castle once more before jumping out of the window.…“Master, the portal is ready….”Mahisha felt his master moving away from the Abyss as he spoke. “Huh?”It looked at the vertical yellow circle in front of him in confusion before feeling its master falling toward the planet.It tilted its head in confusion before reaching out.“Master.”“Yes, Mahisha?”“Master. What about the portal?”“Eh… What portal?”“The one I opened for you to go to the place you were on that planet.”…Adam choked on his words when he heard that.“Did the master forget that?”‘What forget? I didn’t even know there was one like that.’He wondered if it
The defining blast echoed through the air. Elena looked up at the sky, feeling an unspeakable fear. The clouds started to disappear, and a ball of flame pierced through the blue sky.“Ah….”Pressure at a level she never felt before filled the air.“What… What did you do?”She heard Helen’s stuttering voice. “This is not… Ah….”The apostles failed to answer her as they fell to the ground with painful screams. The surrounding air started to vibrate and her vision became blurry. “Your… Majesty. It… Is coming here.”“I know….”Elena felt her throat getting dry.“Human… Ruler… Let us take you to safety.”Elena turned toward the dragons. “Even you can’t do anything?”“This power is… It is….”“What about it?”She gritted her teeth, realising the gravity of the situation. “It is… As powerful as the chaos at its prime.”Her scalpel went numb when she heard this. “Prepare for battle.”“Your Majesty….”“I am not going to abandon my people.”“But… Your Majesty….”Elena ignored Helen, tr
‘Adam?’Elena felt the sudden gentleness wrapping around her. It was warm and safe as if she was in his embrace. Her body became light and the aura helped her to stand up. “Sorry, I am late.”She looked at him in a daze.He wore a shirt and pants made of red and black material. It wasn’t the same clothes he wore when he disappeared. His body was on fire but he looked fine. Elena felt her vision become blurry with emotions. He was here, smiling at her once more. She wanted to ask so many things and rush up to him. To be in his embrace. Maybe even punch him a few times for leaving her behind, but she tried her best to hold back her tears. She could have all the time she needed with him, but first, she stayed there watching him clumsily putting out fire with his hands.“You are late.”She watched him finally walking toward her. Everyone else was simply kneeling around them.“I am sorry, Your Majesty. Eh… Why are they kneeling? I felt even you and Amy kneeling. What happened?”“Isn’t
“Brother.” “Amy.” Adam moved and picked up his little sister off the ground. Amy was already close to the 7th tier at the age of ten. In the Empress’s own words, Amy was far ahead compared to her, but Adam knew better. Amy had much more resources compared to what the Empress had at the time. Even though the Empress was from the royal family, there was a big difference between the available resources. The body tempering arts were much more advanced. Also, Amy received the best medicine, food, and environment for improvement. In comparison, Adam always felt there was no one he could compare with the Empress. As for him, he relied on the system until a couple of weeks ago. “Bad brother. You didn’t contact me for days. I am angry.” Adam felt happy and lost when Amy started pouting. She looked adorable with her gesture. He also felt a bit relieved. Compared to the last time he disappeared, her reaction was much better. He slowly gave a grateful look to the Empress. “What are
“Your Majesty.”Adam caught the Empress’ hands in a hurry.“What? You are getting too bold. Catching my hands.”He knew she was just scolding him, and she wasn’t truly angry. “That is not it. Someone is here.”“Huh? Here? I can’t feel anyone.”She was looking around in confusion.“Not here, Your Majesty. Someone just entered our world.”“World? Are you saying someone like you?”“Maybe….”He lifted his head up from his comfortable pillow with a frow. Casually coming into this world even without alerting Mahisha. ‘This person wanted me to know that he is here.’He knew this presence was announcing its arrival.“Huh? But there are no drastic changes. Is he also falling from the sky? Well, it is very silent.”Adam froze when he heard the Empress. He instantly looked away.“What? Don’t tell me you did that on purpose?”“It was a mistake.”“What do you mean it is a mistake?”“Well. I didn’t know there were other ways to travel. So I just jumped down.”“Pfft… Hahaha….”‘This is why I didn
