Everybody saw the World Essence Pulse Bracers flash with light in agreement with Arran’s question. Immediately, they knew what this meant.Everybody here was aware of the abilities of the sacred artifact, World Essence Pulse Bracers. It was able to gather the world's pulse or, in order words, the power of not only worlds but also any planetary body in the universe.The World's Essence Pulse Bracers was a supreme space artifact. Not only could it gather the power of planetary bodies to infuse in its user, but it also had the added powers of space manipulation and position shifting. One of its abilities was to lock onto any coordinate in space and open a space gate directly to the location.Think of it as a small abyss gate that you could use to go anywhere in the universe. Naturally, prince his ability works best if you’ve been there with the bracers before. But if you wanted to go to a place you I’ve never been before, it would take a long time for the bracers to scan for the coordina
Arran led Eris and Charmy back to the auction, where he introduced them to Trapp and the others.The introduction was very brief. Both Brianna and Vanna were already acquainted with the two princesses, so they only greeted each other simply.When Arran introduced Trapp, Sadie, and Jon, their interaction was pretty neutral. Of the three, only Trapp piqued the princesses' interest, but because he covered himself from head to toe, they quickly lost interest.Not every girl liked a guy who acted mysteriously.“And finally, this is Elena. She’s been our guide since we arrived here and she’s been a lot of help.”The last person Arran introduced was Elena, but as soon as he did so, he felt that something was wrong.As soon as Charmy set her eyes on Elena, her pupils turned into slits, and Charmy’s brows furrowed into a frown. A sinister smile appeared on her lips and her expression was overall frighteningly frosty.With a sugary drawl that dripped with venom, Charmy said, “Oh, I’ve heard abo
“Ahhhh!”“Finally, this blasted auction is over. The boredom was killing me.”Charmy was the one who spoke just now, complaining about the auction.“Hey, how can you say that?” Arran rebuked her quickly.“You were not even here from the beginning, so why’d you say it was boring?”Faced with Arran's rebuke, Charmy snorted in response.“Humph! So o have to start from the beginning to know the auction is very boring. It’s always the same, anyway. No matter what shows up, those other guys are the ones who will end up getting all the fun.”“For little kids like us, there’s nowhere for us to butt in. Don’t think everybody’s like you who gets to crash the party and strut around for a few minutes.”“Hey, you can’t blame that on me. How was I to know that I would get something when I came here?” Arran defended himself.“I didn’t even know there was going to be a secret auction. A coincidence... everything is just a coincidence.”With a look of disdain, Charmy said to Arran, “Yeah, you are very
With Arran taking the lead, the group reached Ladon.The cat was sitting on the bar counter with a bowl of milk placed in front of it. Occasionally, she would drink from the bowl, and when she wasn’t, Ladon seemed to be playing with something in her hands.Stopping in front of the cat, Arran was silent for a moment. After not seeing this lazy creature for some time, she seems to have become even more lazy. She also completely ignored Arran’s presence like she hadn’t noticed him at all, despite him standing right in front of her.Arran didn’t know what to say to her. But before he could open his mouth, other people had already beaten him to it.“Wow, what a beautiful cat! Where did she come from?”Seeing the cat on the counter, Charmy’s eyes glazed in excitement and she hurried past Arran to lift her up.Seeing this, Arran’s face paled in terror.Remembering how this was not an ordinary cat but a colossal and powerful creature, Arran hurriedly tried to stop Charmy. But he was still too
Arran lost face In front of all his friends.At first, Arran was bothered by this. But later, he didn’t care anymore.Anyway, he’d already lost face twice, so what?Activating the skill, “Strong Thick Skin”, Arran was immune to damage from losing face.Ignoring everybody else, Arran finally turned to the other person in the room.When Arran and his group had entered the lounge, Ladon had not been the only one inside.All this time, there had been another person watching everything that had happened from a stool close to Ladon.Turning to this man, Arran addressed him.“Captain Chavis, why are you here? Shouldn’t you be with the old man?”As Arran asked, the others finally focused on the middle-aged captain. Everybody recognizes him as the person who had accompanied Eris and Charmy to come to the station.Clearing his throat, the captain answered Arran’s question.“The councilman has finished what he went to do, and we returned here to wait for you all when we met this cat in the loung
Trapp was the first to speak.“So you’ll be leaving soon?”“Yeah,” Arran answered.“Then have a safe journey,” Trapp wished him.“Thanks,” Arran responded. Then he asked in turn, “What will you do after I leave?”“I came here searching for something,” Trapp said.“I’ve yet to find it, so I’ll keep on searching.”“I had fun while it lasted. Let’s meet again if fate wills it,” Trapp suddenly said.“Of course,” Arran agreed.“If you don’t mind, can you tell me what it is you’re looking for?” Arran suddenly asked.“I’d like to see if there’s anything I can do to find it before I leave.”While Trapp and Brianna were both looking for something, unlike Brianna, who didn’t know what she wanted to find in particular, Trapp seemed to be after something in particular. Arran felt he could get Madame Veera to help Trapp look for it.“There’s no need to bother. I’ve already got someone searching, so it won’t take long before...”Shaking his head, Trapp was just about to refuse when suddenly, he pau
“The reason why the Sha are considered the wealthiest race in the universe is because each of them is born with two very powerful racial abilities, [Piggy Bank] and [Remote Control].”Piggy Bank!Remote Control!What kind of abilities were these?Just hearing the first, one could imagine what kind of ability piggy bank was. As for the second, it was a little hard to imagine what kind of ability this was, as it could refer to a lot of things.Nobody tried to guess, and they waited for Trapp to explain the two abilities to them.Indeed, without hesitation, Trapp started explaining everything to them.“The first ability, [Piggy Bank] as you might guess, allows the Sha to store any form of wealth inside a personal storage space which they are born with. I’m not just talking about hard currency here. I mean, anything that could be considered as having any form of value in this universe. It doesn’t matter if some things are considered worthless to some people, as long as others see value in
“Have you ever heard the expression blink and you’ll miss it?” Trapp suddenly asked.Everybody nodded in agreement. It was a very common expression used when one didn’t want to miss something exciting. But what did it have to do with the abilities of the Sha?Trapp explained, “this expression was first derived from the third racial ability of the Sha, [Blink].”“The ability, [Blink] is a powerful escape ability that allows a captured Sha to elude the perception of their captors when they are least attentive. Using this ability, as long as you remove your attention from a Sha for even a second, they will disappear. The only way to counter this ability is to monitor them constantly without removing your attention from them. And it has to be personal individual monitoring. Using cameras and other technological monitoring devices cannot stop this ability."“In the instance where you can afford round-the-clock monitoring on a captured Sha for a long period, it will still be impossible to f
