2024-10-29 19:42:56Five days had passed, Nysh could finally move a finger.
"Fuck, I'm starving..." Nysh couldn't help but utter as he sighed, he's feeding himself mana, but it's totally different from having a decent meal.
"Roasted Gordon Monkey or Behemonster Rinocerous would probably be able to fill me in quite nicely." He sighed, but since he could move his finger, it was time to do his magic.
"Greater Healing!"
"Muscle Training!"
"Body Enhancement."
"Stamina Recovery."
"etc. etc. etc."
He used thirty spells in a second.
[Name: Kaiser Nysh Ragus
Level: 1 (9,999)
Title: Gods Slayer, Empyrean Arcanist Regalia Magus
Str: 12 (2,115)
Agi: 8 (4,524)
Vit: 200 (12,345)
Int: 98,188
Status: Normal.]
With his status returning to normal, his attributes did so as well.
He scanned his surrounding, it almost looked like a mausoleum, but there are still lights around it.
He looked at the parchments left behind by people, well, most likely his six friends.
He looked at them and couldn't help but smile: "Why would they need to write a letter when I just slept a single night... And why would they place me here when they can just return me to my shack... Ha, these people, really."
He picked a parchment made out of monster skin and read it.
[My friend, it's been a year since I've last visited you, as you can see, I learned how to write from Rae, I needed to beg for a month to actually learn it.
But you see, nah, I just missed you, you know, after the seven of us, no one had ever risen to greater strength, it's probably due to lack of danger.
We're slowly building ourselves some more decent houses you see, I even made a massive house made out of elven wood, well, Ygdrassil got mad at me for it.
Well, I seriously can't wait for you to wake up, I have tons of stories to tell yah! -Bihyoho.]
"A year?!" Nysh couldn't help but be bewildered.
He picked another parchment and read it.
[This is Valkyrae, I hope that you're doing fine and well, you see, it's been twenty years since you entered your sleep, but seriously, who would have known that Nikikoi actually like me, after he confessed and I rejected it, it became awkward for the seven of us.]
He picked another one.
[Nysh, you know, I really like to get your blessing for our wedding, seriously, Nikikoi is just wild, but somehow, that's just how I came to like him.]
Nysh looked at all the parchments, there are even these weird thin things that looked like it'll break easily, he picked it up and read.
[Aye brat, you humans definitely invent good pieces of stuff, this is called 'paper' it can easily be stored and written into, but it's quite delicate, unlike parchments we've used, oh right, we've invented a few things.
Damn it, if we had this, we could've won the war much better with your strength increasing by folds!
It's called an armament, I've created it myself! Try it when you wake up, it's been a hundred years already, Valkyrae had already become old, yet, you still look like a child.]
"A hundred..." He couldn't help but utter.
He picked another one.
[Hello friend, I am Nikikoi, a hundred years already since Valkyrae passed away, I just want to drink this bottle with you, I actually hoped you'd be awake just this once, hahaha, but I guess I was hoping too much.
My friend, it's been five hundred years since you slept... why are human lives so short... half of a beastkin's life... couldn't you all have at least a dwarf's life?
Anyway, I was here to be sad, be with you in these lonely times. My people are pushing me to get married, but can they really blame me for loving a single woman all my life?
I think I should pass my throne now.]
He picked one more.
[Hey, Valkyrae and I couldn't stand this racism thing, the beastkin actually kept pressuring me to marry a beastkin! Do you know that? We saved the world and couldn't even do whatever we want? Isn't this too much?
Anyway, my visit to you would probably become lesser and lesser, Valkyrae and I had decided to leave, I wanted to just destroy this so-called council bullshit they invented, but Valkyrae said that we should and just let things go on, develop each race, so yeah, we've decided to separate, bring most of the people that wish to join us, establish a place where any race can live as they please.
So that's for now, I'll see you again.]
Nysh slumps on the ground and sighs, all of these letters...
He looked at the mountainous piles of letters divided into six, which were probably, each of his friends' letters.
Nysh looked at it and smiled: "I'd probably finish this novel just from reading all of these..."
He then started chanting: "Aid Magic: Timestamp!"
All of the letters started to be get stacked depending on the time they were left.
But what he wanted to know the most is, how long had he slept, and if that's the case, the number of letters meant the time that his friends had lived...
Seeing how Valkyrae's was around 300 to 400 letters, made his heartache.
Next his Argus who had 500 or so letters, followed by Nikikoi and Bihyoho's letters with as many letters as his.
Suparna's letters were a mountain as well, but looking at the right, it's almost negligible, and if he wants to know how long he had lived, the last letter from this bunch is what he needed to look at.
And as expected.
[I know, that once you wake up, you'd probably want to know how long you've been sleeping, I probably won't be able to answer it right now, but... as of writing this last letter, you've been asleep for 500,000 years, I've also reached the limit a high elf's lifespan... Nysh, I wanted to know the answer at least for once... do you...] A liquid had clearly fallen beside this paper, he then looked below for the continuation and sighed.
[I've had the dwarves make a few special chests, I call them Time Chests, it represents time, I probably wouldn't know how long you've been asleep, but at the very least, this could answer some of your worries.
There are ten boxes stacked together, opening one, which means, you've slept for a hundred thousand years after this letter, each box signifies a hundred thousand years.
Nysh, this is my last letter, I hope that you could live the rest of your years in peace... but as I've said before, the world had already become chaotic, I just wish... that it'll be peaceful once you've awoken once more.
Nysh, I love you, and goodbye.]
Nysh felt heartache, he dearly wished that it was only a day after he received this letter, at the very least, he could see his last friend's funeral, at least one of them!
He immediately opened the box indicated by Ygdrassil.
"Please don't open..." Nysh uttered, but soon as he tried to open the box, it did so itself!
One!
Tears fell from his eyes, he may have lived for millions of years, but he's still an 18-year-old child! He started to sob a little.
Two!
Each box he opened, his heart ached in pain, memories of his friends fighting together appeared in his mind, he couldn't help but sob loudly as he tried to open the 3rd one.
Three!
Four!
Five!
Nysh tried the sixth, but it didn't budge an inch, he cried, for the first time in his life, he cried tears of sorrow and regret, why couldn't he have died instead of sleeping!
Why?! His chest tightened much harder, remembering his friends' time together with him, he couldn't help but weep.

1,291,281 letters, it took Nysh around a year to finish all of it, he could probably finish it in two or three months, but he... he savored every bit of information, affection, and stories his friends had shared.Also, for one more reason, his friend had never failed to send him a letter once every year, so, if he waited for a year, he hoped that he could see one of his friends, just a glimpse of them.A year, he had waited, and it had become useless.He had learned more things reading their letters than he had studied his whole life, he walked close to the door, then, he saw the figures of his friends just beside it, all six of them lined up when they were in their prime fighting the Gods, his statue was also in the middle, which all of them were made of gold, he smiled and placed all six of them in his inventory, although he wanted to leave them, he heard that there are many treasure hunters now, and if those hunters were to see these, they'd definitely steal

Nysh went and lined together with the other people lining up to enter the city, he kept monitoring the situation and noticed that they are handing some sort of bronze-looking thing. 'Must be the thing needed to enter the city...' Now, that's the sad part, he doesn't have any of those things. He used some sort of magic and enhanced his hearing to know more about it, at a bit, his hearing reached all the way to the marketplace. [Hey, hey, look here, fresh fishes caught from the Balur Lake! Only for 8 bronze!] [Smayu, I'd like to have a sword made, how much does it cost? I want a level 40 sword, what? 3 silvers?! Are you kidding me?!] [.......] [.......] [.......] He heard so much that he immediately got the gist of it, he inwardly thought: 'I don't have that... what was it? Money?' As a person that had slept for a million years, what would he know about the currency? At the very least, he

Nysh went out of his room and went to the first floor of the Inn, he ate first to fill his stomach for a bit, he didn't even expect to eat so much, he gulped down ten servings of meat and five massive mugs of bears, he couldn't believe how much humanity developed with making food. After all, the only food they ate are either roasted or fresh meat, that's how dark that era was. After eating, he went outside to buy some good sets of clothes, he actually bought twenty sets of clothing, used water magic to clean his body, and wore one of the new clothes he had purchased. He felt quite astounded at their craftsmanship, but for the stats... [Blue Thread ShirtLevel: 1Defense: +1] "......." To Nysh, it felt really... really weak, but the benefit is, it's actually rather comfortable: "Well, it's somewhat a good trade, since there isn't much chaos, it's good to let loose once in a while." A million years ago, you can't even pee safely, l

After arriving back, he ate his dinner and lay in his bed. He developed this habit of sleeping whenever he can. It's when he got his comrades, he can sleep when one of them is guarding the rest to sleep. Sleeping is as easy as taking candy from a baby, and he can also wake up whenever he wanted, the benefits of living within the chaotic dark age. After waking up, Nysh freshened himself with his water magic before making his way out. The first thing he did was of course, to start the mission. He wanted to just teleport away, but he knew it's gonna be annoying if he does. "With peace comes a lot of restrictions..." When it was chaotic, they could do whatever they pleased, but now, it's really different, in order for every being to be safe, they needed order, rules, and other things. Before going out, he went to the adventurer's guild to take his adventurer's card. As soon as he arrived, he noticed that the clerk is rather differe
Return of the Empyrean Arcanist Regalia Magus Chapter 8: Slaughtering Goblins
With just a single move, Kaiser Nysh Ragus felt quite satisfied, he looked at the goblins once more and knew they were scared and stifled by fear. Since Nysh didn't know any other skill, he posed once again, this time, the goblins trembled and started fleeing from all directions or going down to their holes hidden by bushes. "Too late." Nysh uttered as he dashed this time, not by pouncing. He swung his sword and now, a rather powerful wave was unleashed from his sword's edges. Before, he killed 14 goblins just by his sword's range, this time, he killed 18 even though the goblins were out of his sword's range. The energy wave from his sword reached about two meters wide. Nysh puckered his lips: "It's quite different, but I guess that's normal since I'm only beginning to learn it." After all, Bihyoho's same slash produced a wave of at least a kilometer at minimum, even cutting mountains in the process. Looking at his surroundings

Then Nysh noticed their silence, it seemed he had done something that was not normal, he just sighed and shrugged his shoulder: "Well, if you can't pay for it, just say so, I don't take hands for payments."As he spoke of it, he just moved in the direction of the Black Ridge City.Nysh moved quite fast, no less than 10 seconds, he was already gone.Myrtle's face was extremely flushed, seeing her face, guard captain Amrut spoke: "Nobody heard a thing. We better hurry and leave before those goblins come back."As they rode away, the maids looked at Myrtle holding their laughter. Seeing this, she couldn't help but sigh: "I know, but... we completely forgot to reward him after he said those words.""Princess, they are adventurers, you shouldn't have extended your hands forward." One of the maids spoke.Another one added: "Yes, they are known to be mannerless beasts in terms of how they handle women.""Yes, actually, they also do not know

Nysh was brought to the backyard of the guild which is quite spacious. Myrndok looked back at him and asked: "There are two ways for us to fight, one is for real but not dealing critical injury, while the other is using fighting safely through training equipments. Nysh looked at Myrndok and asked: "If I defeat you through with the use of training equipments, it's going to be detrimental to my promotion?" Myrndok hearing him say those words felt quite a bit of anger, but he still smiled: "Not by much." Nysh nodded and replied: "Well, fighting seriously it is." Myrndok smiled: "Suit yourself." As soon as he spoke, his body was covered with light as it was covered by a red and silver armor that looked much like a snake or lizard, a massive axe appeared as Myrndok held it with his two hands: "I'm ready." Nysh nodded his head and checked Myrndok's status. [Myrndok Lv. 399Class: GladiatorRank: 6-stars C-rank.Attr.

Nysh and Myrndok reappeared extremely far away, the latter's vision was assaulted by a bright light and couldn't help but close his eyes, soon, as he grew accustomed to it, he opened his eyes and noticed that he was in the middle of the forest, a wide space within it!"How did we get here?" Myrndok couldn't help but be confused.Nysh smiled: "This is close to where I used to live, so I used teleportation to bring the both of us to this place.""Teleportation..." Myrndok couldn't help but look at Nysh like he's a monster: "That's a grade 10 grand spell right?"Nysh looked at Myrndok and smiled.Myrndok looked at him in confusion.Nysh still looked at him and still smiled.Myrndok: ".............."Nysh smiled at him.Myrndok "Oh!" It finally struck him: "You don't know what grade, tiers, and other things are as well?"Nysh nodded and smiled at him.Myrndok: ".............. What the hell did your grandfather

Nysh waited in the guest room near the gates."The place is actually quite nice." He looked around and seemed rather pleased.After entering the gate, it's quite different, every decoration would probably cost an average house at most.Especially the courtyards not far away from him.Soon, Weir returned."Sir L, my liege wishes to meet you." He slightly bowed with their own gesture of respect.He was asked by the king to treat him with the utmost respect.He also heard that even Aersky, the prince of the Epheleon Empire couldn't do anything to him, although it may have been exaggerated by the prince of Navias Nir Kingdom himself, but the fact that they returned even with Aersky's intervention is an undisputable proof."Lead the way."

After Suga left, Nysh sighed as he looked at the vast sky."There's too much restriction now." He uttered in a solemn tone, before, he could do whatever he wanted, but now, his every move that could be considered normal to him may bare great consequences for the greater population.After a while of pondering, he just shook his head and went inside.At the very least, if he did something, he'll just fix it himself.He went to his bed and rested for a while.The next morning came rather fast.He just sat on his bed and couldn't really believe how comfortable it turned out to be.Just as he was pondering for something, a knock came to."Guild master?" "Come in." He replied.One of the women under Yame entered and brought some food in: "Yame asked me to bring you breakfast."Nysh chuckled and nodded his head: "Leave it there then.""Okay."But just as she was about to leave, Nysh asked: "Ah, hey, do we have any place that stores knowledge here?"The lady looked at her slightly confused b

"Master, you know, when two almost comparable forces clashed, what will happen?"

A week passed rather quickly as Nysh had stayed in his base to observe the progress.As he was resting on top of his base, Yame arrived."Is there anything you need?" Nysh asked.Yame smiled and moved forward: "Guild leader, just to report, these are all of the things I'm rushing to complete." as she finished speaking, she extended her hand with a single piece of paper.Nysh grabbed and looked at it: "You don't really need to call me guild leader when no stranger is around.""It's fine." Yame chuckled and stood there silently."How are Dari and the others settling in?" Nysh asked as he reviewed the paper Yame handed over.Yame smiled: "Oh them, they had settled quite well, also, all of those that were injured are about to recover completely, another week and all of them are probably going to be completely healed.""All of the abled men had already started working, they even wanted to have their salary halved and have it be paid as the territory's tax, but I said that they only need to

"So, in turn, you either all die and not get exiled, or all of you get exiled but live?" Nysh smiled.Seeing Nysh smile, the bandit leader knew that this person is entertaining himself.But so long as his people survive, he doesn't mind being a noble's passing time and dying, so long as the people that had followed him through thick and thin survive.Nysh then asked: "How did your land die?"The bandit leader shook his head: "We don't know, it just happened."Nysh smiled and nodded his head: "So, what are you planning now?""We... we'd accept your punishment, but please, I beg of you, please, let those innocent people go." Since his hands are tied, he knelt using his knees and head, banging his head down on the ground.Hearing their story, Yame finally understood, after all, it's also something that had confused her.Before Z arrived to this place, he was all the way down the southern territory due to assisting in clearing some monsters, it was a whole hour of fighting, the guards nev

Ranko dragged Nysh to the farther northern side of their territory."Oh right, had there been anything that happened that I should know of?" Nysh asked.Ranko shook her head: "Nothing really, oh, the administrator had visited for a few times offering their congratulations, but Yame thought that they're just buttering up to the guild to form connections.""Hence, she said that, other than important matters, no one is permitted to enter.""Oh, so that's the reason I couldn't go in?" Nysh asked."P-probably..." Ranko smiled awkwardly as she turned her gaze to the far side avoiding Nysh's gaze.Nysh could only chuckle as he stared at her, and with her avoiding his gaze, it felt ten times funnier than ever.Soon, the two of them arrived.Yame and Z are both in front of two dozens of people."So, what will we do with you all." Yame pondered as she sat in front of these people."Oh, Yame seemed to be busy." Nysh chuckled as he uttered those words.Hearing these words, Yame's haughty expressi

It's been a while since he last visited this place. Princess Yuki wouldn't be able to return here till she graduates, after all, there is no teleportation gate in the capital, Navias Nir Kingdom is too poor for that.Their whole wealth wouldn't even be able to cover half of the costs of having one constructed.Since he'll be waiting for two weeks or more till the accessories are finished, it wouldn't hurt to stay in his guild for a while and savor its development.As he went out of the capital's gates, he found a spot where nobody could see him and immediately vanished.He then appeared a few hundred meters away from his territory.He looked left and right, although where the walls are designed to be placed are only filled with wooden fences, there are people patrolling it already to ensure of everyone's safety.There are thousands of thousands of people walking here and there doing their work.Nysh smiled as he continued forward.He was immediately stopped by one of the patrols: "Ha

Nysh went back to the mansion that Suga had prepared for him."Master." One of the servants greeted him.Nysh smiled and nodded his head: "Oh, Suga helped me earlier, say thanks for me.""As you wish." The subordinate smiled and nodded."I'll be gone for a while then." As he spoke, he used [Instant Teleportation] and immediately vanished from his spot.Seeing this, the demon glanced at where Nysh was for a while before sighing: "No matter what, I can't get used to it, using skills like he's breathing."She then glanced at the sky and sighed: "I wonder how strong he really is."At this point, all of the subordinates really want to see how strong Nysh is to make even Suga pledge his loyalty to him.Meanwhile, Nysh appeared back at the capital of the Navias Nir Kingdom.He went straight through the gates and paid the toll fee and immediately went to the smithy.After asking for the clerk, a burly man immediately rushed out of his smithy and was all excited at seeing Nysh: "Oh, if it isn'
