The permit for the teleportation gate was divided into three categories, lowest bronze which required people to wait for several months depending on the availability of the portal.Silver permit, which was 50 times more expensive than the bronze permit but it guaranteed a teleportation pass within a month and lastly the gold permit which was 100 times more expensive than the silver permit.A gold permit holder does not have to wait and can be immediately teleported to any location within the continent.The countryside gate like the one I was about to use was programmed to be used only a few times a day but I didn't have to worry about such things.Genesis has reserved a gold permit for both of us and as we entered the teleportation tower an attendant took us directly to the teleportation portal through the VIP route.He verified our identities and the blue light shimmering in the gate turned purple.“Please enter the portal at the interval of 10 seconds esteemed guests.” The portal op
‘Merlin, do curses exist in this world?’It was an awkward question one would ask just after waking up from a comfortable sleep when at the same time his body was feeling better than ever before but nevertheless i asked it because…‘3 Hours’That is how long I was able to sleep forcefully and for the past 5 hours, I was just lying on the bed looking outside the window trying to fall asleep but my immortal physique hindered me from taking rest.‘They do, but the situation you are experiencing isn’t a curse I can assure you.’ Merlin said what I already knew.‘Do you have any switch through which I can turn on and off my immortal physique?’ I asked, knowing well enough how inapt I sounded.‘I can turn your consciousness off with your permission for as long as you want but let me assure you, that won’t help you experience the joy one would get after sleeping for real, my advice is for you to get used to this feeling as soon as you can.’ Merlin said.I would have loved to have this physiqu
“Who is Varon dragonheart to you?” Merlin asked.“He was my grandfather, do you know him my lord?” Luther said.“Only I will ask questions, do you understand?” Merlin said, releasing the dragon aura from his body which further intimidated Luther and confirmed his fake identity.“Yes my lord, I apologise.” Luther said with a creepy teary smile on his face.‘He is more weird than babel.’ Suddenly a thought came to my mind of the beast I had saved in the dimension pocket.“To answer your question, Varon Dragonheart was my grandfather. He was the person who unified our scattered family after demon king lucifer ascended the throne.” Luther replied truthfully.‘I knew that idiot wouldn't live long considering how reckless he was.’ From the memories Merlin has shared with me, I knew Varon was the dragon fanatic who followed demon king lucifer around but we didn’t know he was Luther’s grandfather.“How did Varon die?” Merlin asked, to which Luther's expressions hardened as if the topic was t
From the distance, we weren’t able to make out the appearance of our host but as our ship got near him, goosebumps arose from the depth of my core.As me and Merlin made eye contact with the figure, A never felt before the crisis enveloped my mind inside my sea of consciousness.I don’t know why I was so afraid of this person in front of me but every cell in my body was telling me to run away.‘Calm down.’ I heard Merlin's voice and realised that I was subconsciously affecting the movement of my body.My hands were shaking, sweat was accumulating on my palm and forehead but thankfully merlin hasn’t lost control of my body yet.Sensing our discomfort, Luther created a powerful shield of mana around both of us which somewhat lessened the effect of intimidation of the entity below.Merlin had already explained to Luther, why he, the all powerful and ancient dragon was hiding his power pretending to be weak and that fanatic bought all his crap without a second thought.Merlin moved his ga
“Welcome to our eastern continent headquarters Mr. Lightning emperor.” Calm lake said, turning her holographic figure toward us.“Thank you for having me.” Merlin replied courteously.“First let me introduce myself, I am the 2nd seat of the upper echelon of genesis, my alias is Calm Lake.” ‘Is she using some betwitching technique? Her voice is too sweet to be real.’ I said.‘No, I think it is just her usual self, this is her charisma.’ Merlin denied my opinion but I definitely felt some kind of attraction in her voice.“You might not know much about me and other upper echelon members so let me give you a brief about myself.” “As everyone might already be aware in this room, every upper echelon member specializes in one of the core fields and acts as a pillar of genesis and the core field that I represent is collecting information and improving the knowledge base of genesis.” Calm lake said.“That is good to hear, I would like to exchange few pointers with Ms. Calm lake and improve m
Four mana contracts flew toward four aura forgers but not one of them even flinched. The 5th clause was added by merlin because he genuinely wished for at least one of them to become a rune master in the future. It was devastating for him to know that rune masters were almost extinct on this planet and if his help can somehow increase their number he would gladly do so. The golden scroll which Bella signed broke down into golden particles and merged with both our bodies. Merlin stepped forward, the ether glove in his hand receded showing the rune master symbol. As he closed his eyes, various runes manifested in the air around us, merging with floor, ceiling while some floated in the air. Soon a 6 meter wide golden [Rune Domain] manifested itself on the floor changing the atmosphere inside the room. A strange phenomena happened as Merlin used [Rune Domain], Aura blade became restless, black gas started to leave his body opposing the pure mana in the atmosphere trying to harm the
“One more thing Mr. Blank Slate, did you really think that I needed your consent and mana contract to read your memories? If yes, then you are gravely mistaken, the contract was there to safeguard genesis interest and let me tell you a secret, the contract doesn’t apply to your other consciousness and I have already read through all his memories.” Blank slat’s eyes were wide open all this time and so were others as they realized how vulnerable they were against Merlin just a few moments ago.“There is something wrong with this truth orb, it is broken, yes that has to be it… I am the real one… It can't be…” Blank slate said touching the crystal with his hand but as he completed his sentence, the crystal lit up revealing he also knew he was a fake living in delusion.“It seemed you were always aware of your situation, just lacked the courage to accept the reality.” Merlin spoke.“Does this mean…” Blank slate struggled to complete his sentence but Merlin picked his intention and made him
As Merlin discussed further things with calm lake, Aura blade brought our attention toward one thing we didn’t pay much attention to earlier, the group of Advance Rune forger who had lots of question and praise for merlin in their mind but the time right now wasn’t the best to interrupt us and satisfy their curiosity.“I will give three of you 1 day to rest and another day to decipher at least 2% of the knowledge I had implanted inside your head. From the day after tomorrow, I expect you to be in your best condition because you have a mountain of forging left to do.” Merlin said and three of them looked at Merlin in confusion.“Sir, Didn’t Ms. Calm lake said we will observe and learn from you.” Ms. Gamma asked.“It would be 1% observation and 99% learning through practical, did you ascend to your current position just by observing?” Merlin cross questioned her.“We understand.” all three of them spoke in unison and left the meeting room.Merlin handed me the control of my body as we m
