"You don't need to be surprised. It's exactly what you are thinking"Temporal stasis was more or less a fancy way of saying time stop. Someone had frozen him in time and left all his nerves to work as normal.You could imagine how hard it was to accomplish this feat when you considered that the human body had billions of nerves and that he had frozen everything else, isolating only a few required to keep the brain running, long enough to wake him up."Thank you""You're welcome""To answer your question now, this is The Great Capital City of The Halyziar Empire"This answer was like another bomb to Fraser. He had left Nethilor City at the farthest edge of the Kaelan Empire and was now in Halyziar Empire. These two places were in no way close, so what was going on?"You seem to have no idea how you got here as well. I imagined that it was the outcome of a spell of yours but apparently I was wrong..."Fraser now understood a few things clearly as well. Things made a bit more sense now
Luckily the man was fine with the apology and went on his way quickly.Aiden felt relieved after the encounter and quickly followed the boy who was showing him the directions.It was mission accomplished so he returned to the residential area quickly. The whole trip took less than two hours to complete and now he had all the ingredients that Darwyn asked him to find.---"Good afternoon, Old man Kang""You came as I said... You should have met him already"The man, Aiden bumped into not too long ago, greeted Old man Kang after picking out one of the many items in the pile."Met who?""Aiden Tarren. You saw his name tag. You know where he will be. Your fate has crossed his and you will need the discovery of its ramifications""I still don't understand what this requires of me""Duffel..., Do not forget who you are. You will understand that which is required of you in due time. Go quickly"The man whose name was Duffel nodded and bowed to the old man, a bow filled with utmost respect be
"Thank you, Your Majesty""There is no need for that. I only need your answer to my question...""I will need to leave some time in the future. Either to find my son or to see what has become of Nethilor and to protect it if the need calls for it""You have yourself a promise"The moment she said this, a scroll appeared out of thin air, surprising Fraser. The scroll had a quill writing on it rapidly and a few seconds later, a drop of blood was seen floating onto the scroll and merging with it. With this done, the scroll folded itself and floated down into Fraser's hand."Then I am grateful for your benevolence", he said. He was very surprised at what she had just done. He knew that if she wished to deceive him, she could but his instincts told him that this was not the case. You could imagine what kind of General he'd be if he did not know when to trust his instincts.Another reason apart from his instincts was how shaken Rina was she saw the Queen carry out this act."Rina, lead him
There was a knock on the door and when Fraser opened it, he found that it was Kyllan who was standing outside the door. He opened the door wide to let him enter as he walked back into the living room. He had gone through the whole house since he got there and he found that there were two rooms in the house for some reason. It was such a weird design unless he would share it with someone else.Seeing the nature of this place, it was a possibility so he did not write off the possibility of something like that happening."Please have a seat", he invited Kyllan to take a seat on one of the chairs.Kyllan smiled and took a seat. Fraser also took a seat just opposite him. As soon as he sat down, Kyllan started the conversation by asking a question."What do you think of this house?""It's very nice. I am grateful for it. I'll thank the Queen when I see her""That's nice to hear. You can rest at ease, the house is all yours. I am sure you saw the second room; that design is the standard tha
Aiden was very annoyed but he kept his face stoic, with no expression whatsoever."You have yourself a ten-minute break before we start sparring"Aiden did not make a sound. All he did was walk over to a bench and took a seat. His muscles were aching and his face so desperately wanted to twist due to the annoyance but he managed to keep himself under control.He watched as Princess Diane walked up to the weapons rack, picked up a bow and quiver filled with arrows before walking up to the shooting range not too far away. Aiden had not gotten enough time to check how the training area was designed earlier but now, he began noticing the very different things this training area had that the general training ground did not.First off was the weapons. The quality of them in the general training ground was nowhere near the level of fidelity that the ones here had.Aiden could not observe the differences because Princess Diane had started shooting. Her targets were the marks, a distance tha
Later that day, Aiden woke up from a long and deep sleep. He had spent the whole time after he returned from the royal training area, asleep.What he went through with Princess Diane was no simple routine. He had pushed his body to the limit.It also gave him the drive to do things on his own terms. What better way would he get to survive this torture than to become a 1st order Arcana like everyone else?That was the event and he had made a plan to bring it all to reality; starting with a quick visit to the healer in the infirmary.He'd gotten breakfast at the very least, so he still had something in him to fuel his body.Being a place he had been to already, Aiden quickly arrived at the infirmary. He met a nurse there who was tending to someone else. He waited for her to finish that before he asked her, "good afternoon miss, I was told to ask for the general healer's office"The woman looked at him for a few seconds before she pointed to a hallway he found familiar. "Last office on
The old man looked around some more, getting up to his feet a few moments later and returning the halberd to its proper position. He walked up to the arch that Aiden had just jumped through, taking a close look at it.Behind that wall, Aiden could see what was happening on the other side and the sight of the old man's face in real life terrified him quite a bit. It felt like the old man could see through the wall at him and he was given a huge fright when the old man stretched out his hand to the wall just like he did a few moments prior.His heart had leaped into his throat when he saw the old man's hand hit a solid wall.[” Why are you scared? Did you forget who the spirit of this building is?"]Aiden was jolted awake from his reverie by a snarky comment from Darwyn."You have been living with him for centuries, I have not. Don't judge me"["Fine, I'll find him something else to do"]Aiden did not understand what this meant until he saw the old sage pause as if he was frozen in pl
He hurried over to check when he heard Darwyn's voice.["Congratulations. You're off to a smashing start, Arcana of Chaos and Void"]Aiden did not understand or more importantly his mind chose not to believe the gravity of that statement until he was staring straight into the cauldron."Isn't it supposed to be just a light grey-colored liquid when it's complete?", Aiden asked.["Don't forget your choice of ingredients. The one I showed you used normal ingredients. I have not seen a potion show up in this form before"]"Then how do you know it's good!?!"["I can feel it. My deductions don't tell me that it is anything bad..."]What Aiden was looking at was not a potion. It looked more like a pill with its round shape. Its color was a dark grey with little sparkling things in it."Tarren... Is that what you tried to make?", Miss Riordan asked.Aiden had forgotten that he had a person beside him while he was screaming at Darwyn."I'm not sure but it should be the one"Unexpectedly, what c
