"..... Those 64 years have been counted too...." I muttered and walked towards the black throne because one of the questions I had was answered by that.
"Then my experience of those years have definitely affected me, so I need time for myself....." I mumbled and sat on the black throne.
"Hmm.... I have be active in the uncharted because they would have announced our return because of me, I have to get stronger, keep an eye out and be ready for any new changes because I know that many things will change, gods and goddesses, nuisances and new nonsenses..... damn, there are so many things." I mumbled with a nonchalant expression as I counted my fingers.
"And..... Isha." With a sigh, I leaned back and noticed that my heart had calmed down. As soon as I realized this, I sat straight in the lotus position, while still on the throne, to get my mind back on track because my time sense appeared to be messed up, which could be a major problem in the future.

Few hours later.
"...."
*
A few more hours later.
"...."
*
Again, a few more hours later.
"Huu...." I took a deep breath and breathed out a white translucent smoke, which was enough to notice many differences, the most noticeable of which was that 'mana' had merged with my breathing, mana was circulating in my body with just me breathing.
Though it wasn't anything 'noticeable' like, but it was a tremendous change because everything I did as 'The Eye' could now be done by me as 'Eshwar,' meaning....
I got stronger.
"Though I don't know where I'll use all this strength, haa..." I muttered and instantly killed all of my excitement of getting stronger than I previously was, sh*t!
"I have to do something about all the God-things, so that I can at least fight against them! It doesn't matter if I lose..... I guess, I don't want to lose...." I corrected myself because I felt repulsive as soon as those words got out of my mouth.
"I want to fight using full strength." I flapped my crossed legs, excitedly.
"That space I was sealed in..... If I had known anything about myself, I would have definitely trained in there because nothing was happening to that cursed space and not much time seemed to have passed in the real world...." I mumbled.
"Ah! Now that I think about it..... there was something I really wanted to do when I was 'The Eye,' and when I was 'Eshwar.'" I grinned savagely.
I uncrossed my legs, stretched them while sitting on the throne and took a step forward, the domain I was in disappeared and I was back in the frozen and former, Orc warrior's village and it was already night.
SWISH
"Fuuuu...." I took a deep breath as chilled air trickled across my face, and a significant amount of mana cruised through my body as a result; it was almost unbelievable that mana was being filtered just by breathing, not that I had any complaints.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
SWISH
"Nothing, I was just letting you have your moment, all ok?" Henry appeared next to me like a wind and placed his right arm over my shoulder.
"I definitely was having my moment and I'm alright now." I smiled slightly and started to walk like that.
"Well, it seems like you got stronger....so get ready to get your a*s kicked." Henry grinned from ear to ear and I abruptly halted as soon as he said those words and shuddered.
"Hobgoblin?" I mumbled as I imagined Core who was replaced by an image of a hobgoblin.
"Hmm, I'll tell her that you called her that!" Henry grinned, removed his hand over my shoulder and disappeared in an instant.
"No! Don't, You damn traitor!" I yelled and started to think whether I should go back or not.

VROOOM
I rode back to the inner edge of sector two on my bike, opened the subspace which moved forward as if wanted devour the bike, and walked towards the vent as the bike disappeared into the subspace, employed mana to the vent through my foot and jumped in as soon as it opened, I cautiously walked down on the stairs and somehow it seemed like a stairway that led to hell.
CLUNK
CREAK
"I'm back." I whispered and peeked in to the hall.
It was a 50-foot-wide, 10-foot-tall room with three small staircases in the front: one on the left corner led to Louie's room, which was also connected to his workspace, one on the right corner led to Arngrim's room, that too was connected to his ominous lab, and the one in the middle...I flinched as soon as my gaze fell on the middle stairway.... though Arngrim's lab was ominous, it couldn't match the ominousness of the room in the middle! The one in the middle was Core's room, no, it was her workspace; there was no room for Core because she had moved to Henry's room a long time ago, and her workspace was connected to a huge sleek white training room.
Henry's room was on the left corner, right above Louie's room, mine was on the right corner opposite to Arngrim's room, and right next to the door I was taking a peek from was the washroom and the other side was the kitchen. This underground facility was filled with many ventilators, this was the best hideout and base one could ever wish for!
'Let's ignore everything and run to Arngrim's lab first! She definitely won't come there to search me." I half thought and half mumbled, involuntarily.
I stepped in like a cat with extreme cautiousness and silence, slowly closed the door behind me and clenched my teeth as it creaked.
CREEEEEEKKK
CLUNK
'Sh*t!' I cursed at the door, inwardly and tip toed around.
"Heiikk!" I shrieked because 'Core!' Core was standing behind me, smiling, with her hands crossed and a frown.
"Got anything to say?" She asked slowly as an eerie feeling enveloped me and before I could even open my mouth, she continued just as slowly as before.
"Or anything to do?" She 'said' while pointing at the ground next to the kitchen.
"Ha, haha, ha...." I laughed drily, scratched the back of my head and glared at Henry who was taking a peek at me behind the staircase leading to Core's workspace.
".... Damn traitor...." I grumbled, walked towards the kitchen and before I knelt, Louie climbed up the stairs in front of his room as soon as my eyes fell on him, my eyes twinkled.
"Big brother!" I called out with a bright smile hoping that he would save me, of course, he was big brother for a reason! but....
"Ahem!" he cleared his throat and returned to his room as soon as he saw Core in front of me.
'Big brother!!!' I screamed for help, inwardly.
"This is unfair!" I grumbled.
"Unfair?" Core said with a frown and a smile.
"You got stronger, again! You crazy basta*d!" Core roared and dashed towards me.
"Aaaaa!" I screamed and dashed around in the hall.
"Come here! Stop! Hey! Stop!" she roared while doing everything she can to catch me, I , of course, didn't get caught.
WHOOOSH
Because she was chasing me without mana, I too responded without using mana, but because I was a bit stronger than her in terms of speed, I sidestepped on the wall and jumped towards the stairs leading to Core's room where Henry was peeking with a wide grin.
PAK
"Ack!" Henry groaned as I jumped behind him, kicked his a*s and dashed towards the training room which was connected to Core's workspace.
"Come here!!"
