2022-05-18 00:12:05At night, Rowan met Alex again.
"It appears that our meeting was predestined," Alex said.
"Yes, it's a fate for us. Is there any news regarding the thing I asked?". Rowan was Impatient.
"Although it cost me 2 of my soldier's life, we managed to secure the posters and there is indeed one for a man named Henry. I don't know if he is the same person you are looking for but he is an old man with white hair and a Mark on his neck" Alex responded calmly."Yes, that's uncle Henry. I'm so glad that he managed to survive." Rowan was really happy about it. He almost started jumping in happiness, but then he remembered Ali told him to keep calm always, else the other party will take advantage of him." Thank you for your help. I don't know how, but I'll repay you for the sacrifice of the two soldiers". Rowan said calmly.
Alex became surprised because he can see Rowan forcefully suppressing his emotions rather quickly. "There must be someone behind him," Alex thought.
"So, my friend did you try to use your locket?." Alex wanted to know the answer because it is the most important thing for his plans.
"Yes but I couldn't find anything. It's just a locket with a mirror. I can't find any abnormalities about it.". Rowan felt helpless. Because it's also something he needs for returning to his planet.
"Why don't we try this inside the dream world?" Alex suggested.
When Rowan open the locket, there was suddenly a mirror appeared in the dream world. It was giant and the images kept changing but it gave them their reflection. It was like their background keep changing. Rowan slowly touched the mirror and his hand went inside. He quickly pulled it back. But when Alex tried to enter, he couldn't.
They have done a lot of experiments but Alex couldn't make his hands go inside."Give me your hand, let's try to enter together". Alex finally came up with a plan.
When they tried together, they both managed to enter.
"It looks like I need your help to enter. Let's go.".
The world inside the mirror was almost same the as the dream world. Except there were only 3 mirrors with an image.
Suddenly a warning sound can be heard."ALERT!!!"
"Presence of another system detected"
"Entering defence mode"
"System managed to isolate the unknown system"
The warning signals stopped and the entire mirror world lighted up.
Suddenly Alex's locket can be seen covered in lights. It almost looked like the locket got sealed by light.
While Alex was wondering what happened to his locket. Something strange happened to Rowan. He got to see a window with little information about him. And the same voice can be heard.
"System restarting"
"Host detected"
"Scanning for host level."
"Scanning completed"
Status:
Hostname: Rowan
Race: Human
Host level: 0
Achievement unlocked: 0
Title unlocked: 0
System function Unlocked: 1
Mirrors unlocked: 3"
Rowan became amazed. He never thought there would be an AI inside the mirror world.
"Can you tell me what this locket is?"
Rowan asked the system
"Unauthorised to answer. For answering this question, the host should be at least level 1. The host doesn't meet the requirement."
Rowan became a little disappointed.
Suddenly system issued a mission.
Alert: a new mission has been issued.
Mission: Help Alex to reboot his system.
Mission hint: Due to system intervention, Alex's system will automatically reboot once you leave the mirror world.
Reward: 100exp
"What?. It's that simple?" Rowan didn't think it was too easy to complete the first mission.
"Hey Rowan what are you doing there?. Come here and check the mirrors".
Alex called Rowan towards a mirror.Inside the mirror, an image of earth can be seen. But it was blurry.
"It's earth, I saw the pictures on the internet. Does it mean, this mirror can take as to earth?".
But when Rowan touched it, he couldn't go inside.
"Warning. Unauthorised access.
Required level: level 1 ""Hey Rowan what with the face, why are you absent-minded. Is there something wrong?. Alex became worried.
But Rowan simply smiled "Alex do you want to see magic ?. Just come with me outside and I'll show you" Rowan forcefully took Alex put.
When they came to the dream world. The light on Alex locked removed and Alex showed a weird face.
After some time Alex showed an excited face.
"Haha Alex, how is it ?. Did you also get a system. And what is your first mission?".
Rowan was really happy.Alex smiled and said "It's better than I expected. I only thought I will somehow be able to teleport to your planet. But it looks like I also gained a lot. I'm level 2. I passed 2 missions.
The first one is for helping you to reboot your system. The second one is a hidden mission.
The system said I managed to use the locket without the help of the system, it considered it as completing the hidden mission. There is also an achievement unlocked. It's a kinda weird name but it said by completing the hidden mission, I managed to unlock the achievement "the detective: there is nothing as a secret for the detective".And Rowan please accept the request I'm sending you".Suddenly Rowan's system gives a pop-up message
"The Dream mirror asked your permission to set a gateway. Do you accept the request?".
"What is it ?. How can Alex have so much power?. He only manages to reboot the system after me. It's not fair. Locket, please tell me why Alex has more options ?.
Rowan was rather unhappy.But the system didn't give any reply. only repeated the same message.
"The Dream mirror asked you permission to give it to set one gateway. Do you accept the request?".
"Yes, I accept" Rowan accepted the request.
But nothing happened after that.But Alex can be seen as really happy.
"Hey, Alex what was that ?. How can your system request something to mine?.
Why I'm still level 0?. While you are level 2 already. And what is that request for".Rowan was a little angry.Alex smiled and said "It's just a gateway. I got this as a reward for unlocking an achievement. From now I can go to your planet and mine as I please. I can even bring people with me."
Rowan became even angrier
"System, I'm asking where is my reward?. I completed the reward, why I didn't get any reward?.""Host doesn't have authority to get the reward in dream space. System recommend the host to exit the world.".
Finally, rowan became calm. It looks like he needs to go wake up to get his rewards.
Alex suddenly walked near Rowan and patted his shoulder.
"Friend its looks like time is almost up, let's meet the other side" Alex smiled as the world started to fade.Rowan finally opened his eyes.

The 7th System Chapter 12 - Into the Mirror World
"Hello, Rowan."When they turned around, they spotted a happy Alex near the entryway. Ali's face was drenched in cold sweat. Both Jasmin and Ali were on the verge of attacking him. Ali had not expected something like this to happen so quickly. Ali chastised Rowan mainly because he wanted Rowan to be more cautious, not because he anticipated any danger from coming. The room wasn't that big, but there was a table in the corner. Ali desired to be as near to the table as possible. He knew, despite his nervousness. Only he has the ability to act.Jasmin has a frail physique. As a result of her disease, she lacks combat ability. Rowan, on the other hand, is virtually paralysed. He was not unwilling to do anything, but he couldn't move his legs at all. Rowan wanted to go to the table and grab the gun, but terror gripped him. He began to sweat profusely. His legs couldn't support his body anymore, and he was on the verge of collapsing, but luckily, he was near the wall. The wall could withst
The 7th System Chapter 13 - The Mirror World
They entered the mirror world. The Dream World was nothing like what they had heard from Rowan. It was brimming with vitality. Several trees and a waterfall were cascading from a cliff. The cliff wasn't too big and terrifying or small and cute, but the size made people comfortable looking at it. Some rather small animals and birds can be seen. It was a lovely, vibrant environment. A little cabin stood near the lake. Small animals, such as rabbits, will run around and play with their mates. It was a lovely and tranquil sight to behold. People are warmed by the sounds of birds chirping and just looking at little animals playing. Ali was the one with the most complicated face. Although the new home has similar things, it was his first time seeing those things. His old home was in a desert destroyed by war. Something like this was his dream home even before the war. So he looked at everything with an interesting face. But Ali didn't forget the important thing. While others lost time
The 7th System Chapter 14 - Alex's World
Ali slowly opened his eyes. The pain forced him to wake. With a blurry vision, he was able to see Alex, slowly walking toward him. His vision slowly returned. Ali started to look around worryingly, but Rowan or Jasmin couldn't be seen anywhere. He was sure he was in the same place, but there seemed to be some changes. He wasn't able to find what changed or, more to the point, he didn't have time to look at it. When he saw Alex walking toward him while wearing a smile on his face, Ali became really angry."Where did you take them?" Ali exclaimed. "You should release them without injuring them." You may not realise it, but when I'm upset, I'm really dangerous. It's not something people want to witness. No one managed to stay alive after making me angry. You should choose vice. " Ali right now is extremely odd. Rowan and Jasmin would never believe it if they were here. Since he is a wholly different individual, a small flame started to take over his body.Sometimes there are tiny fla

"What are you saying? What is this secret power? ""What exactly are you saying? What exactly is this mysterious power? "Rowan gave them a glance. Ali avoided him by making excuses and changing the subject."So, what happened when you both became Alex? I expected you to be shocked and upset, but I see no change in your emotional state. " Ali was relieved to see that both of them were in good health, but he was also perplexed. Why didn't such a heinous experience cause them to change? How can they maintain their innocence and naivety after going through this?Ali had many questions, but he needed to confront reality. It wasn't that Ali didn't want to hear about Alex's narrative or legends; he, like Rowan, wanted to know more about Alex. But first, he must learn more about the locket and teach Rowan how to use it properly. Rowan and Jasmin may not have seen it, but Ali senses a big threat approaching them, and time is not on their side. He had to get everything necessary in his hands b

Rowan was watching everything. He witnessed how Alex manufactured the illusion and how they duped and killed that person. Rowan was at a loss for what to do. He was terrified of them at first, but as he remembered how those individuals murdered Alex's parents and friends, he realised it was not irrational for Alex to kill them. But what bothered him was that Ali was with Alex, and Ali even possessed some unusual power that he never informed him or his sister about this power. Rowan was not pleased with the sensation. Why wouldn't Ali tell him about it but choose to tell Alex? He couldn't understand it at all.Suddenly, the system made a beep sound, and a notification popped up.[ Congratulations.

The 7th System Chapter 18 - Attacking the enemy
They barely moved away for a short time when Alex stopped them. Both Ali and Rowan looked to Alex for an explanation."You mentioned having firearms. Do you have any weapons that can be fired across long distances? "Alex leaned in closer to Rowan. Rowan thought it was strange, but he responded positively."That's great. Give me a long-range weapon and instructions on how to use it. I'll be right behind you. " Alex's strategy was straightforward. When the adversary arrives at M-32 in search of answers, he intends to utilise foreign weapons to kill several opponents and flee. It will lead foes to believe that some foreign adversaries have also arrived on Planet Green, causing them to scale down their efforts. It will also provide justification for Alex's subsequent attacks on the Chain.Alex described his intentions to them, and Ali saw nothing wrong with them. Rowan, though, was not convinced."What are your thoughts on my weapons? They are technically complicated and difficult to ope

The person was Mark, Rowan's father.Everyone thought he was long dead until the Chain issued a reward for his head.He quickly walked towards the hologram projection.It didn't take much time before the hologram showed the news."Hello everyone. It's Miya from G-news. Today we have a guest from the Gama family, Johnson. "The reporter from G-news was a famous person. Her cute face and voice helped her to gain a lot of fans."It's Miya.

Mr X remained silent for a long time. His cigarette burnt slowly to ash."White Mask, what are your thoughts about the Mercks arriving here?"White Mask was taken aback. He needed a few minutes to recover from his astonishment."How is that possible, sir? Even if any of them did come here, how could they avoid our notice?"Mr X lighted a new cigarette and began smoking."I deduced that Ali or Rowan were not locals based on the details. They had to have appeared lately, or otherwise, the slaves would have recognised them. And based on the current attack pace, I'm convinced they'd just arrived."Mr X inhaled deeply and proceeded."It appeared to be some Mercks managed to come here. If our intelligence were right, Mark had a son named Little Mark, but what most people don't know is his real name is Rowan. From what I can see, it must be Mark's son."The white mask was at a loss and didn't know what to say."But even if it's Mark's son, what use do we have?"From Mr X's excited expression

"The Mercks are alive?" Mr X couldn't believe it. He started to replay the video again and again.The white-masked man became worried. He never saw Mr X act in this manner."Sir, there is no evidence at all. It's just random talk. Please don't take it in mind. We saw how the planet Merck was blown. There was no one there. Everything turned to ash. We saw it with our own eyes. It's just some random guy's assumptions.

But his companion was shaking, and his face almost lost colour. He was terrified.Before the soldier could know why his friend was so scared, he heard a voice."A cursed place? Hmm. That's a reasonable point. If people started to disappear without any trace, there must be something similar to a curse. White mask, note it down. It may come in handy.""Noted, sir," the white-masked man replied, and they both went inside the camp."Hey, who is that black-masked man, and why is he acting mysterious and weirdly?"The soldier asked his friend."Shh.

I took notice of your contribution. You are free to relax. " John nodded and went away.The village was entirely transformed. If Alex returned suddenly, he would believe he had entered another world. There have been several revisions.People were initially lazy, but as they ran out of food, they were compelled to follow John's new lifestyle. They gradually began to appreciate their new way of life as well.The nicest part was the construction.

Everyone stared at Ali with shock. How is he still joking around? But Ali continued to act as if nothing significant had occurred."What's the matter with you? Why are you staring at me as if I were a ghost? Our village is close to the country of the fairies, and we've heard from passing demons. Is there nothing else to say? What? Do you believe we're fairies? Look at our appearance before passing judgement."They became convinced after seeing Ali's appearance. By look, he is obviously a demon. He is not a fairy in any manner.What Ali and his pals didn't realise was that they were viewed as riches rather than foes."Please accept my sincere apologies. It's simply that my staff are particularly sensitive to the subject today. "Carlo swiftly shifted the subject.Ali also became more at ease.Finally, Angela took a breath. She was too concerned.

"I'm not great at physical labour, but I'm fantastic in math and accounting." For example, I counted over a hundred carts here, with the majority of them carrying at least five people. All of those carts were drawn by horses. You also have some other animals, such as those utilised in agriculture. "Ali stopped for a second and acted like he was calculating something. He then acted like he was finally done calculating and continued his conversation."If my calculations are correct, you have a hundred carts with at least five men in them. Adding the other animals, it's five hundred men and two hundred and ten horses. Two hundred horses mean it requests at least fifty gold coins to manage them on a daily basis. If we reduce the food cost since we are travelling through the jungle, it still costs ten gold coins a day."Ali suddenly stopped, gave a meaningful gaze to Carlo, and continued."Those men seemed to be combat-trained. You need at least 500 gold coins every day to transport 500 s
