Arran was relieved to know that the people he called his parents were his actual biological parents. He didn't know how he would have taken it otherwise. But while Arran was dwelling on his feelings, he suddenly remembered his mother's exact words.
Specifically, Arran focused on the words she said towards the end of her speech.
'I carried you for four hundred years!!!'
These were the words Arran focused on. He could distinctly remember her saying these exact same words.
Immediately, Arran shockingly said to his mother, "Mom, you said that you actually carried me for four hundred years before you conceived me. That's not true, right?"
"It can't be. The longest pregnancy period for an Aeth is at most two years and even a Kingsman who has the longest birth time takes at most ten years before they are born. How could I stay in your womb for four hundred years before being born?
Arran's words were really shocking enough, but this was the truth. A
Arran was in a daze... He kept on thinking of a single thought... that the terrifying cat outside whom his mother called Ladon was a pet. A pet! How insane was that... Just thinking about it alone was enough to make Arran doubt his life. Arran did not know exactly how powerful the Primordial Startreading Tabby, Ladon was. The only thing he was able to guess was that it was more powerful than any of the Shade Lords and Councilmen he had come across recently. The reason Arran thought so what because of the unfathomable aura given to him. Ladon's aura was much deeper and more intense than what he had felt from Shade Lord Scholler and Shade Lord Kremlin as well as Councilmen Homer and Floyd. Of course, granted, Shade Lord Scholler was only a projection with just a bit of the original's power, and Shade Lord Kremlin was being suppressed by Councilman Homer so they did not seem too powerful. But something just told Arran that the Pri
Arran felt like this day was one filled with endless surprises coming at him to bash him in the head. He had just been receiving one shocking news after the other.Forget the fact that his mother had a seemingly powerful pet lying outside. What he had just heard from his mother's own lips was even more shocking.Crown prince!These words denoted a person who was in line to inherit the throne of a kingdom. In a monarchy, the crown prince was usually the one with the most authority after the emperor and the prime minister and his status was the highest under the emperor and empress.This kind of person could be said to be the most envious son of heaven in the world and he enjoyed the envy and worship of all. Arran could not see himself associating with this kind of identity. But here he was... where exactly Arran was, he was still not sure... Arran's parents were right in front of him and they were telling him that he was the crown prince of the Aeth.<
From the time of the hegemon war until now, there have been countless generations of rulers who have ruled over the Aeth. Each of these rulers had ruled for long terms which can go from thousands of years to tens of thousands of years the only difference being that no matter how long these rulers had been on seats for every generation of new rulers would be crowned together and they will also abdicate the seats of authority together leaving it for new rulers to take over.From the time of the first rulers till now, there have been exactly 82 rulers who have held control of over the seven seats of authority. This cycle had been broken four hundred years ago when the 83rd ruler of the air seat of authority had crowned and had taken control over the air seat of authority after the disappearance of the previous ruler who was the 82nd ruler of the air seat of authority.This was only known to all the current rulers because each ruler was linked together. If a single ruler s
Ever since Arran found himself inside this strange place filled with purple clouds and met his parents, it had felt like more than thirty minutes had passed. But Arran could not be sure if that was really true or if his senses were just playing tricks on him.For a while now, Arran had been feeling that his perception of time inside this strange space was skewed. He could not tell if one minute spent in here was actually a minute outside of if it was called differently. Worst of all, Arran had no way to get out of here. He could only turn to his parents to help him out of here.As much as Arran wanted to spend more time here with his parents, he knew that it was not possible to do so. As it was now, Arran could already see his parent's bodies slowly fading and becoming transparent. He knew that he didn't have much longer to spend with them.Their time was almost up.Looking at his parents awkwardly, Arran was surprised by their reaction and what happened
Arran spent some time giving his parents an in-depth explanation of the reality dungeon he had awakened and made sure that they knew about how it worked as well as how it had contributed to raising Arran's current strength. When this was done, both of Arran's parents had pondering expressions on their faces. Arran's father even muttered softly, "So that's how it is... this is quite nifty, if you ask me. How I wish I had something like this myself growing up. It would have been very helpful to me when I was still growing up. At least it would have cut the time I needed to become stronger by more than half the original time. But now, this ability is mostly useless to me." Arran listened to his father's mumblings and looked at him weirdly. Hearing the kind of words Jeremiah spoke, Arran started to wonder exactly how strong his father was. For that matter, Arran was wondering how powerful his mother actually was. For her to be the 83rd ruler of th
Arran had already understood the importance of his reality dungeon, but he was still puzzled about something.What exactly did his reality dungeon have to do with this space?Arran already had a suspicion of his own, but he did not voice it out. Instead, Arran asked his parents this question.When Azalea and Jeremiah heard Arran's question, she shook their heads before Azalea replied, "I don't know if you're really too slow on the upkeep but you should already have a guess as to how this place is related to your reality dungeon. Never the less, let me clarify for you.""This space is exactly a dreamscape space inside your reality gate, the same as your reality dungeon.""Actually, I would say that this space is actually your reality dungeon, only a new area that has been recently unlocked. for some reason, something must have happened to you recently that led to this space being unlocked and you having access to it. As for why I said, it is your re
"First of all, let me say this." Arran's mother, Azalea, started."Your father and I do not have a lot of time left and we will soon disappear from your dreamscape, so there is something we cannot say to you in time. Like right now, you asked us what an information singularity is. but to explain this in-depth so that you will understand clearly would take too much time, so we can't do that for you. Fortunately, you don't really need us to explain it to you before you can understand what an information singularity is.""There are plenty of records in the Kingsman Academy. That is where you are currently studying at, right?" Azalea asked Arran as an afterthought.Arran nodded in the affirmative."That's good." Azalea was relieved."Since that's the case, then it's even better. You just have to tell your unit instructor that you want to read up on the available information regarding information singularities. All you have to tell her is that you've al
Arran slowly digested the fact that there was a group of people who were born to be chosen as guardians for the seven artifacts of the Aeth known as apostles, and he was one of them.As apostles, their authority was naturally above that of ordinary chosen and they were more powerful than they were. Being able to use the full power of the seven artifacts, one can imagine the level of power they can achieve with this privilege.Arran could now understand how he was able to borrow the powers of the World Essence Pulse Bracers, even if he had not been chosen. It was because he was already an apostle of the bracers, so naturally; he had the qualifications to do so.Arran no longer dwelled on this topic and simply accepted it as it was. This was not the most bizarre thing he had learned lately, so he was able to quickly accept such things. Besides, this discovery was good for him in all accepts, so what was there not to like.After accepting his identity as an
