Chapter 213: Diary moments and A new term
- As I saw many days and nights pass by, I decided to write a diary, it was a write call to always have a note in my inventory, It was quite late when it dawned on me that I will be staying here until i can defeat the bone dragon, yet it’s been five weeks and I can’t seem to even scratch it, the daily routine training Huemac is making me do are crazy, I mean he tells me to use my flashspeed skill to fasten my rate of pushups, since he wanted me to do seven hundred thousand pushups in one hour, the result... I ran out of stamina on getting to around nine thousand, but he didn’t let me stop, I spent the whole day doing pushups and I finally completed seven hundred thousand pushups after 31 long hours, then he tells me to jump a million times within a circle while applying my speed, at first I thought they were unreasonable trainings but i changed my mind when i began to see the results, then Huemac explained to me about my body, I’ve been devoted to the trainings but Huemac says we are just getting started.
- Its really weird talking to a book, but it feels a bit fun, I miss my friends, I miss Ariel, but I think this is for the better, I still have nightmares about the lesser deity Levon, most time I can’t sleep after waking, I would usually go and fight the bone dragon, it’s been seven weeks, i’ve not been able to land a clean hit but i am now able to keep up with its speed, I am now able to complete seven hundred thousand pushups in three hours without using flashspeed and Huemac complimented me for the first time. when fighting with the bone dragon it’s like my body moves on it’s own so I almost don’t need to worry about avoiding attacks, but the bone dragon is still a ferocious monster with crazy speed. And things seem to be cooling off between my deiti-self and I, though he is still much angry and I wonder where he got that personality from, but I’m still scared, if I merge with him, is will I still remain me, or my personality, attitude, everything i am will change, I’m scared of changing. Another bother is some weird dreams I keep having since last two days, being in places I’ve never seen... though it bothers me, but I don’t have the time to care about those stuff, I have series of training ahead of him, godeye will also be training me, but he said he will be involved with my mental state so the training will be more of a meditation and inward establishment training, and he also plans to train me how to use the abyssal flames, yes those flames I used on Zolin when we were on the ship and going to the academy. I miss them alot... my friends.
- I don’t know if I’m getting weaker or the bone dragon seems to be just too strong, everytime I feel I have improved, my hope gets shattered by the dragon’s enormous power, I’m beginning to get scared will i really be able to leave here.
- I’ve lost count, many days and many nights have passed, and I have started with Godeye’s training, I don’t particularly know what it’s about but it feels relaxing compared to how strenuous Huemac’s training was, and the dragon speed is getting bearable now plus I’m still not done with Huemac’s speed. I don’t know if I’ll continue to keep a diary of everything because things has started getting tough, after being able to land good hits on the bone dragon it is suddenly able to use five spells at a time, I’ve never seen anything like it, so it’s more like I’m starting again but Godeye says he will teach me something amazing regarding that.
- life is hard, I miss my friends and I miss good food too, I only get to eat these strange fruits since I’ve exhausted a year’s worth of emergency resources... is it perhaps a year already.
- I’m writing this after my thirtieth near-deathe experience, I passed out and was stuck with one of the bone dragon’s bone sword in my belly for a long time, pisses me off to carry this around.
- Damn death is not a cool thing but I must admit after almost dying close to over a hundred times by an enemy I can’t defeat, I care less.
- This fucking bastard is so strong but I won’t give up, I will defeat it, this is my resolve, I will see my friends again, the thought of staying here for the rest of my life is scarier than death itself.
- My deiti-self had found the fragment for all this while but now he wants a bargain, if I don’t accept him, he won’t show me the fragment... that bastard.
- I don’t seem to be myself anymore...
**************
Potram’s adventurer’s guild did not give up on the search for Rein, the bounty on his head kept increasing over years and after the arrival of the new guild master the case was abandon but it didn’t mean the bounty had been taken away, less importance had just been paid to it.
Every holiday, Thurber pleaded to visit Rein but all Chief Letra could give him was excuses that Rein had gone to the Western continent after the incident he reached out to the Duke, he was surprised by how calm and collected the Duke was about the matter so he chose to trust the Duke and hope that one day Reinard would be back after two long years alot have changed, in the central artic, the western continent a lot have changed and things were entering a new age.
The gods were already beginning to get involved and chose what they call Avatars, after the two long years of playing with the players they were beginning to bestow their powers on those they found worthy and using the opportunity to build influence in the world, gather followers, be important, some even prepared a place for their descending through their avatars, a day they believe they will finally be able to leave heaven which for many ages have been like a prison to them, as many constantly warned against the accepting of the offer from the gods, humanity began to enter a new Era of crisis between those avatar and players.
****************
Duke Erin’s manor in Artiok city.
Amelia served a man who was white skinned and wearing a silver armor.
"When did you fall?"
"..." Amelia refused to respond and left.
"You must have a lot of servants like her since that’s what you do, collecting treasures around the earth" the man said to the duke.
"What do you want again? And are you tired of using the skin of an elf" Duke Erin said.
"I had to revert to my original form, that kid Lewis would not let me be, I don’t know how but he keeps locating minglewitch every single time, at this rate he is even more trouble than the bastard that is trailing me"
"Have you found that one?"
"No"
"Tsk, incompetent"
"Says the man who can’t find his adopted son"
"Meryon you have a nerve for getting me angry, I can kill you"
"Can you...I’ve been since the beginning of time, you were birthed maybe about seven thousand years ago"
"The beginning of time my foot, you are just a leftover of the real thing... get out of my house"
Meryon stood up, "Anyways, I moved to this city, since I am a 17th rank silver knight now" Meryon grinned.
"...you decided to get involved?"
"Yes... I can’t bet everything on that your creator son, even if he does awaken, who knows maybe Tiamat’s apostle will take him first, kids like that are always passionate towards their mother you know"
"That’s stupid of you to think...but talking about Tiamat’s apostles their sudden emergence is shocking me."
"I’m surprised too, we must have been to engrossed in this Reinard that we missed many other things, with the white dragon constantly helping them, if the ancient red dragon joins them, they will be really powerful.... to the point that we might not be able to ignore anymore" Meryon said.
The Duke smiled.
"Why are you smiling?"
"I don’t think Zaldres is a type to pick sides"
"Hmph, you trust people too much, perhaps I shouldn’t have joined you on this boy, even though he might be the most oldest person in all the universe, he has no memory of it, perhaps it was a bad idea to join hands with you-"
Duke Erin suddenly jumped to his feet from his seat, his hand shivered and he began to sweat.
"What...what is wrong with you?" Meryon asked.
"... I just felt, my creator’s presence..."
"Huh...Bahamot?" Meryon asked.
"It was brief but I’m very certain"
"...what does that mean?"
Duke Erin grinned at Meryon. "It means braze yourself for whatever is about to happen.
Duke Erin transformed into his dragon form and smashed out of his manor.
Amelia and the others ran out. They were all surprised,
’it’s been over hundred years I’ve been serving him... not once, not even a one time, have I ever seen him transform...what is going on?’ She asked herself.
