When he looked up, he saw the looks of fear on the crew members. A wizard who magically appeared and killed a beast at this level in just one move was not just anyone. Fortunately, Kayden didn’t have any hostile aura.
"Hello, Stranger. I am Captain Yuma. To whom do I owe the honor of meeting?" The captain, who was the strongest wizard on the boat, stood out.
"I’m known as the Unknown, that’s all." Kayden didn’t want to share his name and risk losing this opportunity.
"I understand. Thanks for the help. If you want, we can show you the way to the next habitable planet." Kayden readily accepted the offer and was placed in a room on the ship.
It was a very luxurious room that met all your needs. There were even maids of different races at his disposal. He only needed a little probing to see that this entire ship offered accommodations like this.
He was on a real slave ship ... but this detail wasn’t very important to him and was automatically disregarded in his mind. Other people’s problems weren’t real problems for him.
"The journey should take about another half a year and you are free to roam the upper floors. Just don’t go down to the lower one, Mr. Unknown." One of the women informed Kayden.
The boy just nodded and sat down on the bed. He set up some protective and warning runes after expelling the maids. It wasn’t anything too elaborate, but it would buy him at least 1 second, and that was enough time for him to run away from any attack from mere six-ray weaklings.
Time passed in the blink of an eye; There were no other abnormalities on the trip. Kayden woke up when he felt the plane start to stop. Instantly, he threw his spiritual sense everywhere discreetly and...
They were on a huge rock tens of millions of kilometers long. Kayden could only feel a very strange city around him; the buildings and houses were just big empty spaces without any kind of bathroom or sleeping space.
This was normal considering that most of the beings in this place were in the sixth realm. Their bodies no longer needed to perform these basic physiological activities; They could easily go their entire lives without sleeping, but Kayden didn’t think that was the reason.

In his books about the Void, it was made very clear that, regardless of the strength of a city or organization... in the Void, it was temporary and could easily be swallowed by a random attack of abominations.
Mages of higher realms could easily kill tens or hundreds of thousands of abominations, but what about when that number reached billions or trillions? At that moment, the easiest thing was to abandon everything and try to follow another path.
"Sir?" One of the maids tried to talk to Kayden but found an empty room. Kayden disappeared from the ship within seconds, leaving no trace; he didn’t want to be linked to that group.
The city showed strong signs of mages in the eighth and ninth realms. Kayden could feel a few hundred of them; this was unbelievable in a way, but at the same time, he felt that the majority in this place were just ordinary people.
Reaching high realms was possible with a little talent and opportunity in the universe. The hardest part of it all was overcoming the huge barriers between some kingdoms; It was at this level that most were trapped for the rest of their lives.
"It has always been like that? Pretty busy around here?" Kayden was sitting in some sort of bar, drinking a purple-style drink made from pure mana. It was deliciously cheap and tasty.
"No, since the confusion began in the universe, mages began to move into the Void. Those with great strength can survive here much better than out there at the moment." Kayden was surprised by the bartender’s response.
"What can you tell me about the Void?" Kayden pushed out a small sixth realm mana stone. Their spatial compartments were filled to the brim with these little treasures, but to the inhabitants of the Void, they were an extremely rare delicacy.
The sixth realm mana stone was valuable enough for the bartender not to tell anyone for fear of losing his treasure. In the Void, any source of pure mana was rare and valued to the extreme.
In this environment, most used a kind of stained mana stone, where only a percentage of less than 40% could be used; the rest was Void mana and became useless in most people’s hands.
"Most planets are ruled by an abomination, but almost all of them answer to a specific god. It is difficult to obtain this information for each planet, so you must be careful if you have any enemies." Kayden already expected something along those lines. "But there is no law in that place; Only on developed planets will you find this type of organization."
"How can I find them?"
"You will have to buy maps in one of the markets on this planet, but doing so openly while in the sixth kingdom is suicide. The best option is to be part of a crew and fight for them until you reach the location."
Kayden truly understood that it would be suicidal for him to display any sign of wealth openly. Probably all the merchants were under the direct control of the abomination responsible for this place.
"Do you have any news on the Lichs ?" Kayden got straight to the point and...
"No, actually, I’ve never seen one in my entire life." The answer was a bucket of cold water for him. Kayden asked a few more questions without any other clear intention and, after a few minutes, left the bar towards the ship entry and exit control point.
A huge structure with dozens of metal bubbles and robots programmed to load and unload items was located in this environment. The metal bubbles surrounded the ships and functioned as both a protection and a prison.
In this environment, there were several different levels, from mages in the sixth realm to mages in the ninth realm. Each recruited different people and also sold different items. The higher the wizard’s level, the more dangerous his journey.
