As it got brighter and brighter I opened my eyes to see that I was falling at an increasing speed. Although the view was nice, I was scared of falling to my death.
As I was falling I saw a mountain range pocking out of the water. It looked like small islands composed of mountains surrounded by an endless ocean.
I don''t know how but as I hit the ground, I was able to leave a small crater from the impact.
"Darn... why couldn''t I have fallen into water? It would have been a softer landing." I murmurred to myself.
It actually hurt quite a bit. Though I was amazed that I did not die from the impact, guess it¡¯s what the welcome screen calls it "placed". Perhaps this was also a wakup call so people try to avoid getting hurt.
"Now that I think about it these islands in total don''t seem to be more than 400 kilometers across." "Just great seems I am marooned on this large island by myself for sure."
As I got up from my soft landing, "Are you for real"?
To my surprise I landed not far from an apple tree and not only that there seems to be a small water spring next to it. I also noticed a bag next to my landing. Since I was hungry I ate an apple of the tree and tried to drink the water to test if it was salty or not. Luckily it was fresh water.
Then I decide to open the bag to see what¡¯s in it and a window in midair popped up.
"Rope, axe, and huge waterproof sleeping bag." It was weired that I chose that as if by instinct since I could not remeber anything.
|
You have received:
*Strong Rope
*Strong Axe
*Waterproof Sleeping Bag.
|
As I was still looking in to the bag, I now saw the items I asked for perfectly compacted within the large backpack.
The current Island I landed on was no more than 200 meters in diameter. Barely outside the massive mountain range bordering the ocean.
I took out the sleeping bag since it was taking most of the space in the bag and placed it under the tree.
I had decided to go exploring, I gathered 35 apples that now took the place of the sleeping bag.
As I was leaving the island by means of swimming from one island to another with a full bag of apples, a rope, and an axe, A sudden gust picked up and I saw the sleeping bag near the tree fly off, due to the strong gust.
"aaaaaaaa..... Darn there goes my essential item...."
"Stupid sleeping bag...."
"stupid"
"stupid"
"This world is way too realistic."
As the sleeping bag flew I was able to see it get caught in the branches of a tree on another island.
"I better go get it. I don''t want it to be lost forever since I bet I¡¯ll need it to sleep on."
Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
Trying to swim the best I could with a full bag was not easy. After I swam for about 30 minutes I was able to take a breather on a small island of no more than 5 meters wide. There was another 3 tiny islands between me and the sleeping bag.
"I better hurry!"
It took me 4 hours just to get to the sleeping bag. Luckily there were no more strong winds in that duration.
This time I took the rope out and tied the sleeping bag to the tree on this island since I didn''t want to chase after it again.
As I sat and ate one of my apples I got up and explored the new Island I was on. This island was no bigger than 1 kilometer in diameter. Since there were no monsters on this island I decided to make it my home. It had more room with many trees. Some trees had bananas on them although they were pretty high up I was not able to reach them.
I tried climbing the tree, but wasn''t able to climb even close enough to reach the bananas.
I then realized that even though there was a fresh water spring on this island too, this island didn''t have food I can access to just yet. So I decided to head back so that I could once again swim and go get more apples.
Being in a hurry to retrieve my bag, in the beginning I didn''t notice the word "information" with an exclamation mark flashing on the upper right side of my vision.

*Currently you are able to hold your breath for 25 seconds. |
"Wow so I can raise my stats mainly by swimming. Wonder how many stats I need in order to force my level to increase."
"Well it¡¯s time to get swimming."
As I swam this time I focused on different styles to make it easier to swim.
After another 4 hours I was on the island with the apples. It also seemed my stats and skill experience had doubled.
Since the sun was past the midpoint and going down soon, I had to hurry back before sundown I assumed. However, this time I stuffed as many apples in the bag as I could. 30 apples fit inside the bag with no rope and axe in the way, which I left near the sleeping bag.
By the time I swam back it was getting darker and darker. Luckily I knew the rough direction in which to swim towards. The information window was so irritating while I was swimming that when I got back I turned off the notifications until I became LVL 5. After shuffling in the dark I was able to find my sleeping bag which I unfold and went to sleep, since I was so exhausted. I hung my clothes to dry as well, while I slept.

Volume 1 Ch.2 The Raging Waters
"mmmmm..."
"Why is there hair in my mouth?"
"I was sure to completely close of the sleeping bag."
"What¡¯s all this hair I feel pricking me?"
"This has to be a dream."
"I know I''m naked but what up with this hair?"
"A girl?"
"A monster?"
"This is probably a dream after all?"
"Must be a dream."
-----"Frrrrrrrr, Frrrrrrr, Frrrrrr, Awrrrrr."-------
"aaaaaaaaaaaa, that hurt, something really did scratch me"
"I better open the sleeping bag so i can see inside. I know for sure something is in my sleeping bag with me."
As I opened the sleeping I became motionless.
The only thing I could see is a Bluish/Silver tail.
I became paralyzed from the fear of a monster in my sleeping bag.
What made it worse was that my scream seemed to wake it up. As it slowly turned towards me, I was terrified.
A moment later everything went out the window, it was a small fox like creature with an enormously long tail.
I was no longer afraid of it since it was so small. However I was astonished that it had what seemed like a meter long tail. Whereas this creature''s body was only 1/4 of a meter.
As the little monster got up it walked over to my bag with apples which for some reason lay almost empty even though it was supposed to be nearly full. It started to eat the last apple which was in the bag. I couldn''t just sit by and watch so I snatched the apple from the creature.
"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr"
Its threatening tone was so loud and obnoxious that I felt fear all over again.
So I took the ax and split the apple in half and tossed the other peace to the growling creature.
It stopped growling and started to munch away at the apple.
I was out of food once again.
"Information Window" I called out.
| Alert |
| You may not view any information, since you turned off all of the information services until you are LVL.1. |
"aaaaaaaaa"
"What¡¯s all this all of a sudden."
"I don''t remember what I even said."
"All I remember is being bothered by so much information pings that I turned all of them off until LVL.1. Now I must reach my goal of LVL.1."
That is where I decided to train my character so that I would reach LVL.1. I could try and kill this little monster but that doesn''t guarantee me getting to LVL.1 if I do that, then it would have been boring.
"Well guess I need to swim to get my breakfast."
As I started swimming towards the apple tree with only by bag I noticed it was much easier to swim. Especially without as many clothes dragging the water along.
This time it seemed like I was able to reach the apple tree in 3.5 hours instead of 4. What was surprising was that little monster followed me all the way to the apple tree. Even though I was swimming with effort it was making circles around me as I swam.
I really became irritated, although let the thought go since it was keeping me company.
Once we got to the island the little monster staring at me with pleading eyes in order for me to feed it some of the apples, since the little creature couldn''t reach the apples. I assume all of the other apples on the floor were either eaten by crabs or other creatures since there weren''t any on the floor.
That is when I started to swim back. With the extra weight it still took me roughly 4 hours to get back to where my things were at.
That is when I came up with a plan to gather as many apples as I could and bring them to bigger island. Therefore I used my axe to cut down a small tree.
By cutting the small tree in three pieces, I made it into a small raft that was the length of a sleeping bag. So I took my sleeping bag and the newly made raft which was 3 logs tied together with the rope and I swam back to the island. Since the logs were heavy, I could not lift the raft from the water, which made me go around the small islands on the way.
The sleeping bag was taken with me by tying it with the excess of the rope to the little raft. Since it was waterproof I didn''t need to worry about it getting wet too much after I closed it up.
The little mongrel of a fox who seemed to be cunning, didn''t want to swim this time and instead lay on the raft as I pushed it while swimming.
It took me nearly half of the day just to swim to the apple tree with the little raft in tow, and the little rascal was comfortably sleeping on it.
It was dark when I got there, therefore I camped there that night.
----------------------------------- 6 months later -----------------------------------
Nothing out of the ordinary has happened. I still haven''t level up so I could not see my stats until I was LVL.1. In addition I was working on a longer term project of building a small house where I can sleep comfortably without being rained on.
I guess the rain season started so I assumed winter was coming, therefor I was in a hurry to gather as much food as possible.
The little house on the kilometer long island was small but cozy. The little mongrel continued to grow and eat a lot. Some months ago I stopped calling it mongrel and gave it a name, Fricks.... The reason I named it that was because it would always creep up on me without me realizing it. It would jump onto my face, which would creep me out.
I was able to explore around 1/4 of the islands in that time.
----------------------------------- 3 months later -----------------------------------
The snow arrived. I was able to store up: apples, bananas, grapes, papayas and other fruits for the winter.
The little cabin was built and I''ve even stocked up a bunch of wood inside the cabin for the fire. The cabin itself was dug in to the ground 3 feet deep in order to apply the ground warmth, while I was sleeping.
From building to carrying logs I felt much stronger. Although I still had no access to my stats, I really didn''t care anymore. I was enjoying my life. The snow was so severe that it covered the entire cabin I built and it seemed to have another meter on top of that. So in order to access the trees since I was running out, I built a snow tunnel to the trees where I would cut them for firewood.
---------------------------------- 1 month later -----------------------------------
Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
The snow melted due to it getting extremely hot all of a sudden. How very interesting...
During that one month I slept on the cabin since it was flooded inside. Luckily it didn''t rain. Weird......
As soon as everything pretty much dried up, I, for the sake of it swam to the apple tree to see if any fruits were on it. Amazingly it only took me approximately 1 hour to reach the tree now while towing the small raft I had built.
When chopping a tree I was able to cut it down with only one swing now. During the winter since I was so bored I used the axe to carve different objects out of the wood, small stones, and shells I found on the ground.
Other than just carving I did many different exercises in the cabin, from 1000 pushups, to 1000 sit-ups, and other exercises in the increments of 1000 repetitions.
I still don''t know why I am not LVL.1....... Darn... Right...
------------ 2 months later----------- 1 year since arrival-----------
Fricks had grown in to the height of a pony. Although much more muscular and bulkier, his tail 2 meter in length.
I still haven''t leveled up, although I did explore every corner of the islands I was on.
I had built a small boat in the last two months and was getting ready to leave the islands behind. Even though it was my home it would still remain a place I would seek refuge if I didn''t like something on what seemed like the main Island. During the past year I could see ships far away pass by, but never did my fire signals catch the eyes of those ships.
With a boat full of fruits, crabs, oysters, pearls, gems, and shiny metals which I assumed to be either copper, tin or even iron. Those things I would gather every time I dived to retrieve crabs and oysters from the bottom of the ocean near the island.
Since the boat was so heavy with everything I stored in it. It seemed to be almost drowning. Since I now had intuition and could judge fairly well I set out on the voyage across the ocean where you could slightly see tall mountains rise.
I made Fricks swim since I was also going to swim in order to push the boat. With all my things gathered we set out.
From my ability to hold my breath I now was able to hold it for around an hour without a problem. So with my strength and agility in the water and with the support of Frick¡¯s strength we both pushed the little boat. To my surprise the speed that both of us were able to push it made the boat propel like a jet ski.
"Wow was the only thing I could say."
....... 1 day past....... Not there yet
...........2 day''s past....... Not there yet
...............3 day''s past........ Not there yet
Fricks and I were still going at out full strength trying to get to the other side as soon as possible.
After 3 days I noticed the water getting cooler and cooler and from time to time I would look back to the island which was getting smaller and smaller until I noticed that now I couldn''t even see it. As if it was covered in an illusion.
| !!! Alert !!!
You are now leaving the Vanishing Islands!
note. Danger Alerts will be displayed only once and never again!! |
"No wonder the ships couldn¡¯t see my fire signal."
| !!! Alert !!!
You are now entering the Raging Waters of the Equator!
Note:
!!!! Your traveling speed will be reduced by 50% !!! |
.........................4 day''s past.......... Not there yet however we did get a lot closer
----------------------------------------2 weeks had past-----------------------------------------------
I was finally getting tired from going full strength without stopping day and night!
After two weeks of swimming while pushing the little boat and eating it became much lighter. Only 1/4 of the food was left in the boat.
However we have finally arrived!!!!
"YAY we have arrived." I yelled
"!!!!!NOT!!!!!." I was not happy
What stood before us was a cliff that I could see no end to it from left to right...
"Now what?"
With the strength I gained while on the little islands I could measure my strength by picking up the little boat from 1/4 full of rocks. Since I still had no way of measuring my strength, due to my strict training which by the end of winter consisted of 100,000 repetitions of each exercise.
"Since I am here there is no way around these wide cliffs so I might as well as climb them."
Making Fricks sit in the boat as I tied the infinitely strong rope around the both ends of the boat and my waist and started to climb.
The weight of the boat was now negligible that I couldn¡¯t feel it.
The difficult part was holding on to the slippery small rocks and cracks on the side of the cliff. I was not tired however battling with balance issues I was able to reach the top after climbing day and night.
It was surely a victory for me......
Authors note:
Guys sorry for this boringly long chapter.... However after this chapter is when the real fun and exciting adventure begins.

Volume 1 Ch.3 Death and Death Again
| !!! Attention !!! You have entered Brik''s Mountain Range
Note: Category 50 danger creatures. Boss Monster Present: Category Undetermined. |
I still don''t know how dangerous those little creatures/ monsters are.
"Fricks stay here while I take a look around."
After walking for about 1 hour, I finally heard the sound of monsters scouring around. Trying to locate one I move closer and closer.
"Grrrrrrrrrrrrr" I heard from behind me.
Without looking behind me I said.
"Fricks didn''t I tell you to stay behind?"
As I turned around to look at him.
!!!!!Crunch. A big chunk of my right side got ripped off!!!!
| You have taken 11,350 points of damage.
- You are fatally wounded and will die within seconds. |
Everything went pitch black as I woke up. I was lying in a very familiar cabin without a furry animal who would lie beside me.
| You have Died |
| - Do not fret you didn''t lose your main level since there was nothing to lose.
- You have respawned at your last rest area.
- All your skills are unaffected since you''re under noob protection until reaching level 5.
- However, you did lose the clothes you were wearing except your undergarments. |
"Argggggaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!"
"That monster will regret for what it has done."
As I was so infuriated I started to swim back to the main island this time with no regard to food.
I was swimming so fast without the extra luggage. The experience I gained from towing the boat has probably increased my speed dramatically.
After a full day of swimming at such speed I realized the trick to propel myself faster, and was practically running on my fours on the water.
That is when I mastered the technique to rapidly hit the water with my feet and it made me be able to completely run on water.
After another half a day of running on water I reached roughly the same place where I had initially entered the Raging Waters of the Equator.
This time there were no messages that came up that would suggest I was penalized with 50% speed decrease. Instead because I was out of the water, I was running at such a speed that instead of crossing the Raging Waters of the Equator in 2 weeks and one day. I crossed them in 2.5 days.
I could see that Fricks was obedient and waited at the top of the cliff.
If only I knew then..... :are_you_for_real:
Since I was going so fast and could not stop, even when I tried to dive into the water I only skipped like a slippery rock with no signs of stopping. Even though I was able to slow down I still crashed in to the cliff with the full might of my speed.
............... [th_093.gif] .................
Sob... Sob... Sob...
I was back at my little hut again.
| You have Died |
| - Do not fret you didn''t lose your main level since there was nothing to lose.
- You have respawned at your last rest area.
- All your skills are unaffected since you''re under noob protection until reaching level 5.
- However, you did lose the clothes you were wearing except your undergarments. |
"I really hate this."
"Grawwwwwr rororraaarrrr heeaarrr truaaaaaar...."
"reeeeeeeeraaaakiuuuuioiueh"
"tringuaaaaaaaa"
"plleeettereteee"
"groteeeeneeaaaaaaaa"
"aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"
"I am so frustrated... I will have to kill that monster more cruelly now since I¡¯m in this situation because of it."
| !!! Attention !!!
If there were any animals nearby. They are no longer here since you scared them away. |
I started to run back, while running on the water again I started practicing turning sharply on the water in order to be able to either stop or change direction of my momentum within less than a second.
Even with a Zigzag pattern I was still able to reach the Raging Waters of the Equator in a day, due to running on the water rather than swimming.
After 2 more days of Zigzag patterns through the Raging Waters of the Equator. I was faced with the same cliff. In that instance I calculated that even though I was proficient and could make a 90 degree turn. I thought ¡®what if instead of right or left turn I try and run up the cliff.¡¯
Well either way there shouldn''t be too big of a difference.
The moment I hit the wall and changed the direction vertically I was able to run up the tall cliff within seconds with my momentum. Although changing directions horizontally again was the problem...
I really did prepare to die again from the fall since I pretty much flew up twice the height of the cliff.
As I was falling down I saw a huge tree appear in front of me out of nowhere.
It was Fricks who bent the entire tree. More like he snapped its trunk however, it was still attached.
Instead of crashing in to the branches I used my newly acquired trick with my feet work and at a very fast pace ran towards the cliff top.
"Yay luck is on my side I was able to get on the cliff." looking around I realized the tree was gone.
As I looked at Fricks who was looking somewhere off the cliff I noticed the tree flying hundreds of meters away from the cliff.
"Ha ha ha ha ha"
"heee hee he he"
"hoooo hoo hoo"
"I guess I am strong."
"Now to find that little creature that took a bite out of me."
"Hee hee hee hee hee"
"Let the hunt begin."
"But before that let me rest here so that I can respawn here in case I die."
zzzzzzzzzzzz....
I slept for about an hour. When I got up a window popped up.
| Alert Respawn Point Failed to be Established. |
| - You are not allowed to make this area a respawn point since your level is 0.
- You need to be LVL.150 or higher in order to make this area your respawn area.
- Therefore, your respawn point still remains at your previous location.
- To bypass this, build a small Hut here which would waive the level restriction.
Warning: If you build a hut here all of the animals within 1 kilometer will be attracted to it in order to take up residency in the hut or destroy it. |
"Well whatever."
"Now I want my long awaited revenge..."
"Just what should be the punishment...?¡±
So I set off. At first walking around hoping it would attack me since I thought I was now much quicker. I told Fricks not to dare to sneak up on me today since the first strike I was going to do could may very well kill him.
After walking for a bit I found no creatures at all. It was like they either were sleeping or could feel my killing intent.
Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel.
"That must be it. My killing intent is too great."
"Guess I will build that small Hut after all."
"It took me two hours to make a decent log cabin."
| !!! Alert!!! |
| - Your hut has attracted all of the monsters in the area of one kilometer.
- Must protect the hut for one hour in order to establish the respawn point.
Note: If you die or the hut is destroyed the respawn point establishment will fail. |
"Hee hee hee hee."
"You didn''t come when I called you for revenge."
"But now you don''t have a choice."
"ha ha ha ha ha ha ha."
"ha ha ha ha ha ha h ah aha ha h aha ha a "
"kuk kha kha kha."
"Never thought I could choke from a laugh."
"he he he he."
"It¡¯s still funny."
"ha ha ha."
"It also means its ambush effort is out the window."
I was laughing so hysterically that didn''t realize there were a dozen monsters that have already surrounded us.
Fricks was growling very loud.
"Fricks do not let any monster touch the cabin."
"I¡¯ll be the one eliminating these monsters."
I didn''t wait for them to start. Instead using my quick feet with all my strength poured into them, I quickly moved around doing karate chop with one hand and slicing the monsters with the axe in the other hand. The fight ended fairly quickly to my surprise.
That is when I heard the sound of my long awaited revenge.
"Grrrrrrrrrrrr."
Without delay I swung the axe at the monster which appeared out of nowhere behind me. Even Fricks was cowering on the roof of the Hut, who also killed quite a few monsters during the fight.
The axe was stopped by the teeth of the monster not leaving even a single scratch.
It grabbed the axe and with all its might and pulled it out of my hand then tossed it aside.
I then activated my newly learned footwork. After gaining my maximum speed I planned on ramming it which might also kill me. So instead I decided to run near it punching it with all my might as I changed direction to punch it again and again.
The monster didn¡¯t stay in one place it tried to avoid my punches and attack me. However, I already knew that one punch or bite could kill me instantly so I decided to wear it out instead. Therefore, I slowed down so that it could see me and continue to run after me. As I ran around I would pick fruit off the trees I passed by in order to eat since I was very hungry.
As I ran around in a 10 kilometer square block the monster wouldn''t leave me behind and when it seemed not interested I taunted by punching it and punching it whenever it wasn''t paying attention.
_------- Lame method I know. -------_
An hour later...
| Ting |
| - Respawn point established in the Hut. |
However I knew I could run many weeks without stopping so I continued this for about 3 weeks.
For some reason I got confused of my current location and as I was running past my little cabin that I could only glance at it. What followed was a huge tiger with mithril and silver-like stripes on its back, they were beautiful.
The sad part that made Fricks jump off the hut and run in the opposite direction of the monster was what the huge monster was about to do. Although tired, it crashed into the cabin from the sudden turn which sent the cabin flying off the cliff.
"AAAAAAAAArrrr I knew I should have not built it on the cliff."
| !!! Alert!!! |
| - Respawn point destroyed. You will respawn at your previous location. |
This incident made me remember what I went through and all that angered stored inside me.
"This has taken long enough." I yelled
I sped up until it appeared as if I was teleporting. Never before had I run so quickly. Perhaps the constant running and eating for the past 3 weeks helped me achieve this level of running.
I started to pick up stones and rocks off the ground and throw them at the tiger like monster.
Running + Throwing = Faster than bullet speeds.
Due to the monsters tough fur it did not penetrate. The stones crushed on impact with the monster into pure dust. I decided to take something sturdier and started to use the ore that I planned to collect on the island.
Only this time the ore would turn into pancakes and fall on the ground. I guess it was cheap ore since it didn''t even hold its form after the impact.
This time though you could see the effect due to the several dozen ores that hit the hind leg of the monster it started to limp while chasing me.
Another week passed by and only then was the results visible. The monster lied down and covered its face while it squealed like a little dog.
I didn''t stop my attacks for another week.
That was the moment I noticed that an Information Mark that was flashing in the upper corner of my vision. It led me to believe I was at least level one with the restriction lifted.
I then felt bad for the continuous harassment of the creature. That is when I stopped throwing faster than bullet like projectiles.
Instead, I ran out and caught some rabbits in the area and placed them in front of the monster as an apology for overdoing the punishment that lasted more than 5 weeks.
As I walked off I saw the monster tear up and chew the rabbits I brought it.
With the help of Fricks I picked up all pancake-like ore and placed them bag into the boat.
I found the axe and also placed it in the boat then I started to drag the boat with all my stuff.
I was finally leaving this area. I was craving to find a city or a small village since it was still lonely with just Fricks.
I decided that I would sort through the Information Window when I found a small village or a town since it wouldn''t be of any benefit as of right now.
Authors note: I really don''t know how to make a chapter roughly the same length. I only stop when it feels like a good place to stop.
- I will cover all the stats and the likes in the next chapter.

Volume 1 Ch.4 Zanil
I was walking due to being tired of running for the past few days.
I then asked Fricks if he would be so kind as to pull the boat while I lay in it and got a bit of rest.
In truth I wasn''t asking more like telling him.
He didn''t mind since he, without hesitation, took the rope out of my hands and started pulling the boat, that actually looked more like a big sled.
Before going to sleep I told him if he came across any paths to stick to it until it reached a village and not enter the village until I woke up.
I doze off.
"zzzzz....zzzz....z..z..z.zz...zzz.zzz....."
"What is this? Is that being alive?"
"Grrrrrrr...."
"Why is it growling like that?"
"hhhhhhrrrrrrrruuuuuu" I snore
"It seems like he¡¯s alive. Just sound asleep."
"Mister, wake up please."
"GrrrRRR...GRRRR...."
"I bet it doesn''t want us to wake its Master up."
---- 13 hours later----
"Is he sleeping still?"
"That beautiful creature hasn''t even moved an inch out of the way ever since it came."
"Yaaaaawwnnn"
As I woke up, I was still in my sleeping bag. Aside from hearing the voices near me, I didn''t hurry to open up the sleeping bag. I guess I just wanted to sleep more but due to the increasing conversations near me, made me irritated a bit.
Well, might as well as check my stats.
Even though I said that I wanted to check my stats, in my mind the window opened up automatically.
| You must choose your race, appearance, and name. Before being able to proceeding to view any other information. |
"I want to be the race I am in real life as well as appearance, and my name likewise."

| Zanil
Not much is known about this race other then they resemble humans. Do not worry you are not the last Zanil. You are the only current Zanil in this Virtual World.
Note: You may find more information about Zanil hidden in clues around the world. |
"Whoever is in that bag seems to be talking to himself."
"Wonder who it is."
Agh almost forgot there are people chatting around me. I guess might as well as get up and find some food.
Oh, right, better put clothes on before I get out. There could be kids out there.
As I opened the sleeping bag, the morning sunlight was blinding me. I even forgot that I was irritated since I was happy to learn my name and race.
"Woaahhhh." Every stranger around me said that at the same time when I came out of the sleeping bag.
If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
"Hey Fricks you actually dragged me right to the front gates of a village?"
"Didn''t I tell you to stop before even getting it close to the village?"
"Perhaps I dozed off before I finished giving you instructions."
"You even scared of the guards."
"Wonder why they ran away and are now crowding us."
"Fricks get on the boat. It¡¯s your time to sleep. I¡¯ll wake you up when I find us some grub."
........
"Excuse me young man. Is that your companion?" asked an elderly man.
"Yes, it is. Oh, where are my manners. It¡¯s been so long since I even talked to anyone other than my companion. My name is Salim."
"Nice to meet you, young man, and my name is Trint. I am the Elder of this town."
-----Conversation-------
Trint: I can see that your companion is quite the peaceful one isn''t he?
Salim: No... Not really... I just asked him not to cause me trouble while I slept.
Trint: I see.
Trint: Say... May I ask why you are here?
Salim: I am on a path of self-discovery.
Salim: Since you know everything around this are, mind telling me where my companion Fricks and I could eat?
Salim: Although I don''t have your kind of currency. I do have different things I could trade in order to obtain your currency.
Trint: Well there is an inn with amazing restaurant menu in this village.
Trint: As well as a corner market where you can trade in your goods for currency.
Trint: I would like to escort you if you don''t mind. Do you need help pooling that sled or perhaps I should bring a cart.
Salim: There is no need for any of that. Just point the way.
Trint: Then follow me.
Salim: OK
------Conversation end------
Instead of dragging the sled which would make too much noise as well as already braking apart with barely any bottom left, I lifted it up off the ground and carried it as I was following the elderly man.
Trint: "So young man should we get a cart?" he asked without turning around.
He was assuming I couldn''t even budge the sled since no sound was made while I picked it up and as I walked.
As soon as he turned around he was startled that even his jaw dropped when he saw me carrying the sled over my head with one arm. I was right behind him.
"So where is the market?" I asked Trint.
"It¡¯s this way." he said as he started to move a bit faster.
His astonished face regained its sense faster than everyone else around. They were still standing with their slacked jaws and surprised faces.
After I sold all my minerals and ores to the market I asked the market owner how I could learn to identify those things. He said because I sold such a quantity he gave me a book that had a lot of information on different things such as ores and minerals as well as gems.
Even though I had many more jewels and colorful rocks still with me, the market owner said he doesn''t have enough money in order to buy such expensive items. He said I would need to go to a bigger city to exchange those.
After selling as much as the market owner could afford to buy I had a total of 21 gold, 33 silver, and 95 copper coins. At that time I bought a pair of semi-good looking clothes with no stats. I bought a much larger bag, sturdier rope since the rope holding together the boat was now tattered and about to rip. I was no longer under noob protection. So the beginning items I had, had begun to deteriorate. When purchasing in the market I paid with ores and minerals instead of money, since it was equivalent.
The bag I bought was able to fit all of the remaining jewels a new rope, a new axe, and an extra pair of clothes. It was a good accomplishment, I was really satisfied. Since the boat was now a piece of junk the market owner said he can dispose it for me so I agreed and left. The Elder(Trint) had left earlier because on the way here he showed me where the Inn was located.
Even though Fricks was sleeping at first, he got up as we passed the Inn which smelled great with all of the food. We headed towards the Inn even though there was a sign no pets allowed we still entered. I asked the lady for a table where Fricks and I could eat privately. She showed me the way toward the private room where I sat down and ordered one of everything on the menu with double portions for everything. And quadruple the portions for Fricks.
Since the order was so large they asked for me to pay in advance with a total being of 90 Silver for the extra, extra large meals we ordered. I went ahead and paid for a room to stay there that night. The night stay was only 10 silvers for the both of us.
We ate like Kings and Emperors that night. Most of the staff where cooking only for us, as we ate more and more, and in the end the total came out to be one gold coin.
I went to sleep and was very satisfied that night.

Volume 1 Ch.5 Tio the Majestic Bear
[th_009_v2.gif] ¡°WAAAAAAAAA¡±
¡°Run. Run. Run. To the forest and abandon the town.¡±
This was like an alarm that sounded outside.
¡°Knock¡± ¡°Knock¡± ¡°KNOCK!!!¡±
¡°Who is it?¡± I asked.
¡°It¡¯s the Innkeeper. Sir you must run to the forest. I am leaving right away myself.¡± said the Innkeeper through the closed door.
¡°Why?¡±
¡°The reason is because the scout spotted a Dragon Category 15 flying in this direction. It is said it annihilates any settlement in its path. I am sorry Sir. I am not brave enough to stay. I have warned you.¡±
| Monster Categories
Scale 100 ¨C 1
The lower the number, the higher level of danger and the rarer the monster.
Note: There are special categories:
- S class: Extremely Rare: Undetermined species and a little is known about them. (Avoid completely.)
- X class: Very Rare: Dangerously aggressive. Hunted and protected against.
- Z class: Quite Rare: Very friendly and helpful. Develop close attachment with first people they meet. |
¡°I am quite happy here and don''t want to leave. Thank you for the warning.¡±
¡°Take care.¡± Said the Innkeeper.
As I continue to struggle getting up since I was awake, another message appeared.
| !!! Attention!!!
5 Million Players have been prepared and have now joined the Virtual World of Trinpik. |
This message really got my attention. So I rushed outside since I was curious if they would start out the same way I did, by falling down from the sky.
A very funny thing happened then, as I was looking around I noticed a dragon not far from the village. As it was looking at ground it didn¡¯t notice a person falling from above who was also screaming at the top of her lungs.
"Ehhhhhhhhh..... Whaaaaaaaaaa.......A draaaaaaagooooonnnnn?" [th_001_-v2.gif]
¡°BAMMMMMMMM!¡±
The falling person crashed into the dragon''s head.
As they fell I could only hear a few words and see only a few motions.
The little girl falling down at the same speed as the dragon was hitting the dragon straight in its eyes over and over again. "OUCH"
"You Pervert! Pervert of a dragon."
"Stupid.... Stupid..... Stupid..."
"Stupid..... VR... Pervert dragon trying to sneak a peek under a girl¡¯s skirt."
The girl and the dragon fell near the forest leading to the Brik¡¯s Mountain Range.
¡°Ha ha ha ha ¡°
¡°He he he he¡±
¡°Stupid dragon for not seeing that coming.¡±
I was eager to see who fell down like that so I rushed over, even Fricks followed me.
¡°RwoaaaaaaaaaaaaR¡± screamed the dragon.
The poor defenseless girl staring into the mouth of the dragon, elegantly yet gracefully with as much power as she could muster.
"Slaaaaaaaaaap."
"Do not spit on strangers or get in their way when they are falling."
Since the dragon was so much taller than the girl it stood up not to be slapped again.
However, the little girl came to one of the dragons legs.
"Bam, Bam, BAMMM"
She was now kicking the dragon¡¯s legs. Then turned around went to a tiny bush and started kicking the bush.
"Stupid broken game....... To meet a dragon on the first day...... Defiantly a broken game..... Stupid Stupid. [th_015_orz-v2.gif]
The dragon was very angry now, as if someone had just insulted its majestic appearance.
I was laughing this entire time, including the time I ran towards them.
"ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haha ha ha"
"whoaaaaaaa ha ha ha ha"
"he he hee hee he he"
"hwua hwua"
"Got to say that was extremely funny."
Before it could attack the little girl which just slapped it I used my skill to throw a rock faster than the speed of a bullet, let¡¯s just call it Bullet Toss.
The rock smashed turning into ash on impact.
You could see that the dragon immediately realized the real threat. So it turned its hostility away from the person standing near the bushes and looked at me.
¡°Gush¡¡ BAMMMMMMM¡±
As I looked at the dragon that was rammed from the side at full speed by Fricks, away from the little girl, I was surprised. I have never seen Fricks fight so I just let him play around with the dragon as I approached the girl who flopped down on the ground from Frick''s Impact.
¡°Well hello there.¡±
¡°I got to say it was a very funny scene the way you crashed into the dragon.¡±
-------Conversation-------
Stranger: Where am I?
Salim: I myself do not know that.
Salim: Since I too came here the same exact same way you did only a year earlier, minus crashing into a Category 15 Monster.
Stranger: What¡¯s going to happen to me? Shouldn¡¯t we run?
Salim: Why don¡¯t you first that welcome screen you should see in front of you.
Stranger: I see¡ mmmm¡ I see¡
Salim: Do you have a name?
Stranger: It¡¯s Vionia.
Salim: So you know your name already? Then do you also know your race or anything else before falling down from the sky?
Vionia: Yes I know my own race and where I am from originally.
Salim: Mind sharing that with me since I only found out my real name yesterday, as well as my race. However, I don¡¯t know anything else about myself or my past, even how I got here.
Vionia: Give me a minute to collect my thoughts since all of this is so sudden and overwhelming.
Salim: Take your time. We have more urgent things to do, such as dealing with this dragon.
-------- Conversation End----------
At first, the battle between Fricks and the dragon seemed on par. However, since Fricks was still so young I knew he would be at a disadvantage. That is precisely when the dragon with its tail landed a full hit on Fricks nearly crushing him into the dragon. Fricks was in no shape to continue fighting.
I have to hand it to the dragon, he is powerful being if he¡¯s able to do that to Fricks with one successful hit.
| !!! Alert!!!
If your companion Fricks dies, then he will not respawn.
Note: You can view your companions¡¯ stats through the pet status window. |
¡°Oh, what¡¯s this?¡±
¡°I will check that later.¡±
I knew that I could defeat the dragon with my strength alone, so I tried throwing several more rocks, which it completely ignored since it deemed Fricks to be the greater threat.
Just when the finishing blow was about to land on Fricks, another astonishing scene happened as if in slow motion.
The huge monster that I had previously fought with an undetermined category, had jumped out of the forest with full speed and rammed into the dragon.
The dragon was sent skipping roughly 50 meters on the ground until it stopped, making a large crater.
¡°Whoaaaaa¡±
My jaw and Vionia¡¯s jaw dropped simultaneously.
The dragon stood up as quickly as it could while trying to fly up. When it was rammed several more time as they both roared with tremendous voices, I could see Vionia paralyzed on the spot. I clapped loudly which apparently woke her up from her dazed expression. I was amazed it worked.
| Skill ¡°Tremendous Clap¡± Acquired |
| - Counteracts Confusion
- Wakeup Call
- Dispels Sleep Spells
- Shockwave
- With higher level may be controlled in to a specific location instead of dispersed.
Note: Can be further increased with practice. Irritates people when done too often. |
At this time the dragon was being a smart creature, realizing the amount of danger and killing intent it faced.
Unknown tiger like Creature + Fricks + Me = Death to the dragon.
It hurriedly got up and flew to the sky. Without looking back it flew at a rapid speed back the way it came from.
The huge tiger-like creature disappeared in to the woods momentarily bringing several rabbits and laid them down before Fricks, who in turn started eating them.
Then it slowly approached me. I was curious what it was going to do. I knew I could react in time since it wasn¡¯t hiding, as for Vionia, I wasn¡¯t concerned about since she was under noob protection.
¡°Thank you for not killing me about a week ago.¡±
¡°Whaaa¡± I said. ¡°You can speak?¡±
¡°Yes as you can see. You should know the Divine creature that accompanies you would also be able to speak as he grows older.¡±
¡°Really, Fricks is a Divine creature?¡±
¡°Yes, his species is what¡¯s called Trifoy Veruseus. Not even I know much about him.¡±
| *** Attention ***
Acquired new information in regard to a S class species. |
¡°Your friend, that you call Fricks, is much more capable then even I am. I can tell you that his current form isn¡¯t his actual form. Let me show you my true form then you¡¯ll understand.¡±
After a second of bright light, there stood a big bear.
He continued to explain. That since Fricks is so young he doesn¡¯t want to reveal his true form or perhaps he doesn¡¯t even know his true form and just stays in his current form. He explained that if I wanted I could help him reveal his true form however, Fricks might not want to since they are a very proud species. If the time comes when Fricks does want to show his true form and power he will need the help of a moonstone in order to dispel the strong enchant that was placed on him by his mother.
I was amazed. What really amazed me even further was the next thing this creature said.
¡°My name is Tio. I feel that I owe you my life for not killing me. So to that extent, let me accompany you on your journey so that I may be able to repay you for your mercy!¡±
¡°Ha ha ha ha. Are you sure there isn¡¯t an alternative reason for accompanying me?¡± I asked.
¡°I can see you¡¯re quite smart. Truthfully, there is an alternate reason for this.¡±
¡°So what is it?¡± I asked.
¡°For a creature like me, I can only grow stronger if there are not only stronger foes but smarter as well. Thus I want to grow even stronger, learning from you as we go on our journey. I will not only sit idling around and waiting, but also engage in everything you ask me to do, so please take me with you.¡±
| !!! Attention!!!
- You do not have the Tamer¡¯s profession.
- You¡¯re not allowed to have a lower-class species be your companion until the higher-class species that is currently accompanying you leaves you. |
Salim: ¡°It seems I can¡¯t have more than one companion, and I am not replacing my current companion.¡±
Tio: ¡°I cannot let myself take place of your Divine companion and wouldn¡¯t dare too.¡±
If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it.
Salim: ¡°Then, I guess you will have to settle for Vionia.¡±
Tio: ¡°Isn¡¯t she weaker than even a squirrel?¡±
Salim: ¡°Yes she is. However, look at her as your cub.¡±
Tio: ¡°I¡¯ll tell you another reason why I am eager for a companion. About 2 weeks ago my Cub was stolen out of my cave. This is why attacked you without warning, I must find him and free him from his captors. Since monsters are attacked on sight in villages, towns and cities, I cannot approach a city without a so called Tamer.¡±
Salim: ¡°Now everything is falling into place, but why the transformation in to a huge tiger?¡±
Tio: ¡°It¡¯s a well known fact that poachers go after tigers less frequently than after bears.¡±
Salim: ¡°Vionia hurry up and accept him as your companion.¡±
While stuttering, Vionia was almost paralyzed due to the conversation and everything else that has transpired before her.
Vionia: ¡°I.I¡.I..II¡.I.I ,,,,,,, Aa.ccc..cc¡..ee.pttt¡¡±
Tio: ¡°Thank you. You should know ahead of time that I will not speak in front of anyone else besides you two. Vionia if you choose the Tamers profession, which I can bestow, the Legendary Tamer Profession, I can give it to you right now. You and I will be able to communicate telepathically. Do you, Vionia, want to become a Tamer?¡±
Vionia: ¡°Yes, I accept the Legendary Tamer Profession. Yay I got it, it even says to have the class Legendary Tamer I needed the title to be bestowed on me by a special class monster.¡±
Salim: ¡°Now that this is over, let¡¯s go eat.¡±
As we turned around to leave, I could see faces peeking out of the forest trembling. That is when the elder came out and greeted us with a very happy smile on his face. As he shouted that everything was over and everyone could go back home I placed Vionia upon Tio since she was still in shock and started to walk towards the villages Inn. By this time Fricks recovered some of its health and strength and was also able to walk by himself. I whispered to him.
¡°Thank You Fricks.¡±
A pony sized Fricks, a polar bear size Tio, a human size me, and Vionia, who was much shorter than me, headed back towards the village. Well technically she was what they call fun size.
¡°He he he he.¡±
As we sat and ate I began to ask questions of Vionia, to see how much I could learn. To my surprise this was what I discovered.
She is:
Race: Zanil (Just like me)
Before she was put in into a hibernation chamber, she heard her parents say ¡°Have a good journey.¡± She could only remember spending most of her time in a light filled room playing with her toys and going to Virtual Reality classrooms, where many different subjects were covered besides their own history. The window in her room showed an infinite amount of stars as they were moving at a tremendous speed. The last thing she remembers is hearing an announcement. ¡®All of the citizen will need to enter hibernation sleep.¡¯ That put their mind into the Virtual Reality Simulator, which would randomly scatter their consciousness amongst the entire galaxy compiling the same-age groups in the same categories and planets.
It seems that she has met other Zanil folks during the few times she was taken to markets, which she said had no sky and where interconnected by halls in-between rooms, houses, gardens and the rest of the buildings. She said it wasn¡¯t rare to see grown-ups come and tells us that they were outside however, hiding the details of the outside from us. They only said it wasn¡¯t time for them to tell us everything.
Before she completely went in to hibernation her parents said, ¡°You will once again come out of the hibernation sleep when the time is right, and by then you will know the entire truth.¡±
I can¡¯t dwell on the past too much so I decided to move forward, I decided to check stats / info window of Frick¡¯s and mine while I was eating.

As the day was turning into night, Fricks rested while Tio and Vionia roamed around the small village.
What I found entertaining was reading that identification book I received from the Market. After I finished the book I gave the Market NPC his book back.
| !!! Identification Skill Acquired!!!
- The ability to appraise and identify Items.
Note: The higher the level of this skill, the more information will be revealed for that item. |
The only attractions, if you could even call them attractions, in this village were: the blacksmiths shop, a market, architectures/ engineering and the center plaza. The one thing that I thought stood out the most in this village was something that looked like a mithril carriage in the blacksmiths shops which had a very beautiful trim of silver, gold, and onyx stones. He even dared me to try and lift it up, to my surprise; I wasn''t able to move it at all. It must have been really heavy.
It looked like something that is used for long distances travels. However, just who could afford such an item, apparently the blacksmith only sells through the market and in recent years was only working on his order for the carriage, thus there were no weapons or armors being sold since all of the ore went in to make the carriage. It really did look like a portable house with even several rooms inside, it even had windows made out of colorful river stones that could only be seen inside. It was truly magnificent for a medieval setting.
The blacksmith said it could only be pulled by a being with strength of at least 550 and stamina of no less than 3000. Even at those stats it will only be able to be pulled for about 12 hours at max.
When I asked who this is for, he only shook his head and said he didn''t know however, the elder knew who it was for and the details behind it. The blacksmith also said that it was perhaps one of the princes from the Azitium Kingdom who are known for their wealth.

Volume 1 Ch.6 Blind Acceptance of a Quest!
Salim: ¡°My, my, my, look at those fine legs¡¡¡±
¡°He heee he hee he¡±
¡°I wonder if those lumps are soft¡¡.¡±
¡°He he hee hee¡±
Kapoooooow¡. Kaboom¡. Kataaaak¡..
Salim: ¡°Ow, my head¡..¡±
As I woke up I saw Vionia holding a broken chair over her head.
Salim: ¡°Why are you in my room?¡±
Kratuooosh¡..
The chair in her hand was completely broken on the impact of face¡.
Salim: ¡°Are you standing guard to shoo the flies away?¡±
¡°If so could you please you a broom instead of a chair!¡±
Slaaaaaaaaaaap
Salim: ¡°Whhhaaaaaaat has gotten in to you?¡±
Vionia: ¡°I was sleeping peacefully then in my dream you came up and picked up my skirt and started staring all of a sudden and when I tried beating you up in my dream you disappeared. So that¡¯s why I left my dream to come here and beat you up.¡±
Salim: ¡°Well that actually also happened in my dream.¡±
Brishhhhhh¡ Kadiiish¡ Griiiiiiit¡.
Salim: ¡°I hope you have money to pay for those vases you just broke against my face.¡±
Baaam¡. Biiissssshhhh
"What are you doing now?" I asked Vionia
Vionia: ¡°Pervert, pervert, pervert."
As she left I whispered to myself. ¡°I was not in control of my dream.¡± ¡°How interesting¡ ¡ Awww my face really does hurt.¡±
zzZ.zzZzz. zzz. ZzZz .zZz Zzzz.
As I got up when morning came, I was quite found of the peaceful morning for once.
BAAAAAM!
My door swung open. It was Vionia yelling as she and Tio came in. ¡°get up sleepy pervert.¡±
Her shouts even woke up Fricks, who is a heavy sleeper.
The mess still being there¡ The room went in to a mysterious silence¡
¡°Breakfast time¡± I said and got up and left the room with the co. in tow.
After breakfast and paying for all the damage, we went outside to walk around.
As soon as we stepped outside we saw we were standing in the town square with a small flower garden in the middle with a water-well. I could describe this village as a one street village. Across from the hotel stood the supposed town center that was slightly bigger than any other building except the Inn. The Elder who not only lived there, also worked there, all of the building were one story building other than the Inn which was two stories and acted as a restaurant as well.
The gate we came in was the North gate, which happened to be right next to the Elders dwelling.
From the North gate to the town center was the market place that consisted of a market building next to the gate. Next to the market building was the blacksmiths shop, across from there were two small warehouses that stored food and excess supplies, such as ores if there were any at that time. Next to the blacksmiths shop was a small library and across from that was a kids playground with a small school.
As I stood on the porch of the Inn, observing everything as if for the first time the Elder approached and said that he wanted to talk with me. As I told the rest of my co. to go look around I went with the Elder to the town center to see what he wanted to ask me.
To sum up the conversation I had with the Elder it went something like this. This town was a new frontier opened roughly 5 years ago. Only the bravest came here being especially grateful, that the Grandmaster blacksmith came along and the engineering/ architect Scholar as well. He said that about two years ago the youngest prince stopped here by the name of Prince Jeffry Thule, the Elder personally knew the prince and trusted him greatly. So the village made a deal with the Prince that if he is able to convince the King to build a Wizards tower in this frontier village. The local blacksmith and the residents of this village will pull their resources together to build a carriage the like never seen before. The problem arose about a year ago when everything seemed to go smoothly. The King declared that the village was way too far, and said he didn¡¯t want to invest in the construction of a Wizards tower in a dying village, that happens to be surrounded by some fierce monsters. The Prince wrote us a letter of apology for not coming through he also said that being the youngest prince out of 12 older brothers sometimes has a down side to it, we didn¡¯t blame him.
We have even spoken to the Wizards Guild, as we asked that they send some Wizards to study here as soon as the tower was built. The tower itself acts as a defense against attacks of monsters and as a means to transport goods long distances. Even though the teleportation was not yet ready to send people from one place to another it was able to transport lifeless objects.
The Elder then went in to detail of what their plan is. It¡¯s to build a Wizards tower; The Elder said that the architect has already made plans detailing everything about the tower, It would act as a storage and protection incase hordes of monsters ran across the plains that they tend to do once in a while destroying everything in their path. The only structure to survive was the blacksmith¡¯s shop made of stone. We all hid in our fallout shelters underneath our homes in order not to be killed by the monsters.
After he continued to tell me different stories I got tired and said. ¡°So what do you want from me?¡±
He said since you¡¯re so strong I want you to lend us a hand in transporting the stones from the quarry. Then help us stack the stones once we start building the tower.
¡°How tall is this so called Wizards Tower?¡± I asked.
The Elder frowned and said. ¡°It should be around 25 stories high.¡±
My jaw dropped¡. ¡°What¡¯s in it for me?¡± I asked.
¡°Well we don¡¯t have money but will pay you by giving you the carriage that was supposed to be made for the Prince; it could be sold in the Capital over 1,000,000 gold.
The Elder spoke up and said. ¡°According to the calculations the architect said it would take us 5-7 years of hard labor to finish the tower. He also calculated the next horde attack to be around 7.5 years from today. What do you say? Will you help us? During the time of construction you won¡¯t have to pay for your stay at the Inn or the food.¡±

¡°When they perfect the Teleportation Spell for Humans, let me have unlimited free access to use this service, and any other services this tower will provide in the future free of cost.¡± Is what I immediately replied.
The Elder pondered for a little while and said ¡°We will even include a small property where you can build your dwelling if you want. 2000x2000 meters right outside the North gates toward the Brik¡¯s Mountain range.¡±
¡°I accept¡± Is what I said without even reading the full contents of the quest.

¡°RRRRRRRRRSSRrsrsrsrsrlsjrlrhjsoedroshoie.¡±

¡°Pazoooon¡ Katuk¡ Kabam¡ ¡± This time it was the broom smashing my groin. ¡°My man¡¯s pride¡ Awwwwwwww¡±
Vionia: You stupid idiot how could you accept such a quest without talking with me. It seems you don¡¯t know anything about VR games.
Salim: Weeellllll iiiitttt isn¡¯tttt exactlyyyy a gammmmeee for meeee. Siiinccee iiii woke upppp hereeee wwwwitthouttt annny experiennnce in the realllll world.
Salim: Plussss ittt seemed aaa gooood oppurtuniiity since it take nearly aaa year just tttooo reach the next village froomm hereeee. Onnn foot that issss. Sinnnce immm in noo hurryyy I decided to help the villagers.
Vionia: Eh whatever, nothing can be done now since I don¡¯t want to be a LVL. -30 character with negative stats. So I guess I will have to help you so that we can get out of this mess. I don¡¯t want to spend more than 5 years here. You hear me?
Salim: Yessss. Ass you wisshh youurr highnesss.
¡°Kaboooon¡± there goes the frying pan in my face again.
After the mid-day the Elder took the co. and I to the Quarry through the south gates. The male villagers ran the quarry with a roughly 15-man crew. They have already cut a lot of stone that made the stockpile look like a mountain of bricks. I asked the Elder if there are any horse carriage¡¯s not in use so that I can make the two animal companions pull one each full of stone bricks.
The Elder gave us special backpacks in order to carry the stone bricks, a special one was made for me that was nearly 5 times bigger. Vionia received a regular size one even then she was given only one brick to carry so that she can build up her stats since she couldn¡¯t even lift two stones.
I made arrangements with the elder that we would only stop to work when either our stamina was gone or when we were hungry.
Whenever our stamina was gone I would force them to sleep either by knocking them out, in this case only Vionia. So that she can regain her stamina faster and get back to work. I would wake her up by dumping water on her.
I told everyone that this would be our training regimen for the next year. The villagers themselves were quite weak. Once they saw the little Vionia, even though she was probably the same age as me work hard, the younger kids as tall as Vionia would also carry a brick each.
Every time I went to sleep what woke me up was not a bucket of water poured on me but a brick hitting my face. I even got two skills one called Stone Face and another Earth Resistance.
That is how our first week went by. Working day and night due to the quest category being almost impossible itself we did not want to face the failures.
Thus started the stockpiling of recourses on the empty lot next to the Elders house next to the site where the Wizards Tower was going to be built.

Volume 1 Ch.7 Epidemic
As the weeks went by I have been able to carry more at the same time move a little faster. Since my STR wasn''t all that good, I knew that is what was lacking the most. Even then I didn¡¯t forget to work on my speed at the mean time. From day to day my STR, AGI, DEX and Stamina continued to increase by 1-3 Stat points daily. As my strength increased and other stats it began to level up slower and slower.
Vzooooooom. PZZZZzzZzZZZzzzzZzZzZzzzzz¡¡. Dimpakodu. ¡. BammmM.
As I woke up, I noticed that I was literally buried under a foot of dirt.
Caughh¡ caugh¡ caughh..
Well it seems it¡¯s my wake up call.
Apparently since Vionia could not wake me up with just a brick to the face anymore she started to use new methods, such as using a simple catapult that she was able to devise.
However, Vionia¡¯s wake up was also a new one. Since I was able to discover a large lake due south from the mine, I would take her and toss her just like a skipping stone across the lake to the middle of the lake. She would skip across around 100 meters before starting to drown thus making her wake up and swim like crazy.
Every 4 hours of sleep we would work for 5 hours and eat that time since we would run out of stamina quite fast.
According to the Architect/ Scholar/ Engineer NPC, we were ahead of schedule. After 1 months of work we moved enough brick that were to be used for the towers property wall, so going at this rate we would be able to take a day or two off.
The day we decided to take off was as normal as any, it was our own way of saying things are looking up.
That night when all of us were sleeping, at the very morning¡
Rumbleeee Rumble Rumble¡
The buildings and even the ground was shaking like nothing ever before. We all ran outside and stood away from the building since they could collapse from the tremendous shaking.
The shaking continued without stop, many building have already collapsed in the area. To our surprise the Inn was actually acting as if it was rubber and shook like a jelly. Later, we came to learn a traveling wizard enchanted it, since they allowed him to stay for free.
In the midst of the shaking that lasted the entire day, Co. and I were all busy running around the entire village saving people from collapsing buildings.

| ** Skill Rarity**
- Evolved Skill from Common Grade into Rare Grade.
- This evolution will reset the running skill down to one. |
By the time we finished rescuing everyone the shaking continued and we could not sleep that night, so we just all stayed together at the center garden plaza.
It even seemed like the morning itself came around pretty late. From what was around almost 10 o''clock it was still dark. 12 o¡¯clock we finally understood what had happened. The sun at 12 o''clock was barely peeking through the sky from time to time. When it reveal the entire sky covered in ash.

As you could guess, my Stone Face skill had to go. I had to choose what seemed to be the best and rarest.
¡°Brick-to-the-face wakeup call is back. Nah I''ll just continue to catapult you. I know I''ll due both of them at the same time as I Catapult you.¡± said Vionia.
I did feel weaker but due to my inflated stats it didn''t feel any discomforting.
So I decided to keep: Phase Running, Inertial Turning, and Respawn Point.
Fricks kept his Shadow Run, Transformation, and Inertial Turning.

Vionia: My skills could be used to either protect or fight for the weak.
Salim: Are you saying you have a human side to you? It seems you¡¯re innovating different ways of torture.
Vionia: This is my latest gadget, I came up with it last night.

Salim: ¡°Phantom Running¡±
Salim: Seems it was the right choice for me to keep this skill. Heee he he he.
Kssssssooomish.
Salim: AAAAAAaaaaaaa. Guess I can''t keep running like that forever. Better work on it until I can.
Vionia: I¡¯ll just have to get faster as well, so that I may catch up to your Phantom Run.
Darn Darn Darn.
We got back to work. This time villagers were rebuilding their dwellings while we still carried those bricks from the quarry. There were enough bricks left there to keep us busy for 1 or 2 years for sure. However, for the actual tower they were much bigger, it would be something like if stacking 5x3x7 small brick squares into a bigger square. The bigger bricks were much heavier; rather the 125 small bricks were quite light in comparison to what roughly 1 large stone brick was.
Vionia proved her usefulness in the fact that she took the two wagons that were pulled by Tio and Fricks and made one huge wagon. With the help of the blacksmith he fussed Mithril into the huge wagon to keep it from breaking apart. Wheels were made out of Titanium so that they would not break in case of a bump in the road.
With our reduced stats all four of us had to either push or pull the wagon that carried roughly 40 stones altogether. I was amazed how sturdy the wagon was thanks to the blacksmith and Vionia¡¯s innovation.
Since before her innovation the wagons only carried 13 stones each, that often times would rollover due to sudden bumps.
As the week went by we were falling behind big time. At the current rate it seemed that when our stats recovered after 3 more weeks we would have to work non-stop until we caught up to what our quota was to be for this month.
-------------------1 month after the Epidemic--------------------
| !!! Epidemic Ends!!!
- New Skills may not be learned for the next 23 months.

Volume 1 Ch.8 Catapult
| Ting |
| - Diligent and steady work during the Epidemic pays off.
- You have earned 5 stat points in every stat field. |
As I sat there I was slightly offended by the message. I assumed I worked much harder than that; even my proficiency in the skills didn¡¯t rise during that 1 month of Epidemic. Guess I''ll have to work harder now.
Fricks and Tio where now able to pull that cart by themselves and so I started to carry the stones using that special backpack which at most could carry 4 rocks. Instead of focusing on the quantity I focused on my speed to transport these stones.
Vionia was now moving one big stone using a wheelbarrow she constructed and could barely move. I encouraged her every time I passed by. It seems she was growing faster than me was in the beginning of her journey.
I decided to train up my strength and speed rather than other things so I didn''t use the other wheelbarrow that she made.
The other thing that changed was our sleeping habits. We would now work for a full week without stop and would only sleep once all together. Since her Catapult now supported a clock mechanism we would all be tossed into the lake after sleeping for 12 hours.
It was surprising that it tossed us quite a fair distance. She continued to improve the catapults range so that it could reach the city from the quarry. As three months went by she completed the newly innovated catapult.
The first attempts to launch the stone bricks to town ended up in it being destroyed upon impact.
After a day of practice, Vionia said she couldn''t make the catapult hit the same target at such a distance without further developing the catapult. So this time around I stayed at the city and was trying to catch the stones so that they didn¡¯t break.
I was able to catch one after a few tries and noticed I had to use the Phantom Running skill in order to catch them without the stone crushing me into the ground, creating a crater while shattering the stones.
With Vionia¡¯s support we were able to understand the physics and redirect the momentum of the stone in our favor when I was catching them using my Phantom Running skill.
Phantom Running was the answer. Since Phantom Running would slightly protect the stone and me from the physical forces therefore not breaking the stones and making the landing much smoother without creating a crater.
As the stones rained down from the sky, it became harder and harder to keep sight of them since it was getting dark. She stopped the rain of stones from the quarry for about an hour.
All of a sudden the entire sky lit up as if broad daylight. What I saw was flying stones lightly on fire. When I caught them now they really were burning. Some crude black stuff was smudged on them. As I receive barely any damage since my regeneration rate was greater than the damage taken I didn''t mind the fire.
Stacking the entire night our transfer rate increased. What I was now looking at was a stockpile of nearly 20-meter long, that was now on fire. Even though the fire was dying out it helped me see better and seemed not to harm the stones. It was a totally win-win situation.
| Ting |
| - Phantom Running LVL 1. |

| Ting |
| - Phantom Running LVL 5.
- Mana and stamina consumption rate reduced by 5 points. |
| Ting |
| - STR, AGI, Vitality and DEX all increased by 10. |
In one night, I leveled faster than ever before. I wondered why. Perhaps it¡¯ was the use of Phantom Running. It became as if it was ordinary running for me, without doubting myself, who knows though!
After another pause of falling stones what I noticed then. Frick¡¯s and Tio came running at full speed without the wagon. I didn''t like the look of that. Before I could say anything they ran past me and started to dig near the area where the tower would be build. It was already marked with rope.
After that I realized that the newly flying stones were faster and much more frequent. I don''t know how she was loading them so fast all I could tell is they increased in speed and quantity. It was around 60 stones an hour. If you tell me it quadrupled in quantity.
Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings.
I could really not keep up with the flow and some even smashed upon impact with the ground.
How was all this possible I kept thinking and then realized she must of used the wagon to create something even more superb.
| Ting |
| - Phantom Running LVL 6. |
| Ting |
| - Phantom Running LVL 7. |
| Ting |
| - Phantom Running LVL 8. |
| Ting |
| - Phantom Running LVL 9. |
| Ting |
| - Phantom Running LVL 10. |
| Ting |
| - STR, AGI, Vitality and DEX all increased by 20. |
Around every 80-100 stones I leveled up my skill in Phantom Running... I even yelled at Tio to go tell her to stop since I was low on Mana.
I even changed the setting to notify me of skill level ups every 5 levels since it got annoying; likewise with stats to only notify me when the stats accumulated increased by 100.
Once they stopped I really wanted to see what was going on. How was all this possible. To cause a rain of stones whose flights time itself was around 2 minutes through the sky from quarry. The quarry was a little far, but with the catapults trajectory it made the stones fly high before coming down causing the flight time to last 2 minutes.
Within 5 minutes of running I was at the quarry looking at the strange catapult with a conveyor belt that brought in the rocks at a steady pace and launched them automatically. All she had to do was place a stone from the pile on the conveyor system which was only a meter away from the quarry stockpile.
¡°What¡¯s your aim?¡± I asked her.
She muttered ¡°100 per minute.¡± Currently we are tossing roughly 1.5 stones per minute.
I was shocked when I heard 100 per minute. It meant more running for me.
Kapammmm. She pushed me in to the net.
Swazooooom bish. I was sent flying, hearing her faint voice in the air.
¡°Stop slacking and get back to work!¡±
In 2 minutes I was using Phantom Running to avoid from crashing.
Unfortunately, my descent was too fast so I crashed making a small creator.
Right after getting my bearings, the stones that were right on my tail started falling. So I started catching them once again.
One week later¡¡¡
| Ting |
| - STR, AGI, Vitality and DEX all increased by 100. |
| Ting |
| - Phantom Running LVL 15. |
| Ting |
| - Phantom Running LVL 20. |
In just one weeks time I was now catching 2 stones per minute, 120 stones in an hour.
We have been able to catch up to half the months¡¯ work that was supposed to be done last month.

Volume 1 Ch.9 The Parachute
Week after week the speed of the tossing rocks increased. Sometime during that period I got this message.
| !!!Attention!!! |
| ? - Your Stamina Stat points have stopped at 1500 points.
? - You may not gain any more stat points in Stamina until gaining a profession.
? - If you continue to train your stamina stat, it will not increase, but it will redirect its stat bonus towards a random stat.
Note: You have discovered 1/10 secrets regarding stats. |
I was eager now since I could help my other stats rise through the means of endurance and just running around. I was set on making all my stats 1500 now. It even became that much easier.
Currently we were at 6 months since the start of the big project. 4 months after the epidemic.
I am now catching 6 stones per minute. With the new rate increased from the catapult itself. The support of the architect, Vionia and the blacksmith, they were able to constantly innovate; the now more accurate catapult and much faster one at that.
It¡¯s been 4 months since I last saw Tio and Frick¡¯s. I have no idea where they are, they are free animals after all.
This entire time I had an inclining that they were still digging the towers basement. On the surface of the supposed basement the only thing I saw change was the huge mounds of dirt increase, although it only had two holes on the surface from where a constant pour of dirt would be flying out. I guess it¡¯s not easy digging around 15 meters below the surface.
The elder asked us to increase the basement from 5 meters to 15 meters deep and from 10 meters wide to 20 wide. The size of the tower being built was now not 25 stories high but 30 stories high.
I really feel cheated since even the quest didn''t upgrade, thus the rewards and failure cost were still the same. It made me angry, but I just continued to catch stones since Vionia wouldn''t give me time off. Only when the stones stopped for an hour would I quickly shove food down my throat. Everyone was eating and looking out for themselves was the golden rule agreed upon this time of building the tower.
| Phase Running LVL 50 |
| - Rare Skill
- This running with higher level can manipulate spiritual plane in order to avoid any detrimental effects of the physical world.
- With higher level, skill may even use air as a stepping-stone when running. (Can currently can make 150 steps in the air.)
- Consumes mana and stamina at 200/second.
-!!!!!! New discovered effect!!!!! Slows down time were 1 min passes as if 2 min.
Note: Higher levels of skill will lower the consumption of mana and stamina. |
| Inertial Turning LVL 67 |
| ? - A super rare skill.
? - Uses mana and stamina to produce rapid turns.
? - Currently can withstand up to 65 g-forces while turning.
? - May accelerate any extremity of the body to 65 g-forces instantaneously from a stop.
? !!!!! New Effect Uncovered!!!!! Can move in any space without any restrictions.
Note: Sharper than 65 g-force turns will result in blacking out. If STR is low may result in tearing body parts off the body. |
During the process of catching stones, I became irritated and set the preferences to only show me accumulative stats when I asked. Never to display things I have seen before without my approval.
¡°Shiiiiiiiiiiiishhiiiiiiii¡± I smelt a burning sensation. It was truly horrifying. It was my skin being cooked by the stone. It flew very fast, faster than any other; however it was as red as the sun. I think Vionia was torturing me at this point. I will get her back for this one day.
To my surprise no more stones flew. Even after my quick lunch, no stones flew.
I raced over to see what has happened. When I arrived the huge stone pile that was supposed to be there that should of taken us 2 years to transport was nowhere to be seen.
Then I heard it.
Vionia: It really worked. Did the last stone make it without breaking?
Salim: Why you little witch, why did you send me such a hot stone? All the skin on my palm nearly burned off!
Vionia: Stop being a baby you healed, didn''t you?
¡°Choooo chooo choo chooo¡± my head and anger was on fire. I really had to teach her a lesson.
I quickly disappeared in front of her eyes. The next thing she noticed was being dragged up in to the air with my Phantom Running. I am going to take her as high as possible and be it so that I fall with her. It¡¯s going to hurt her more, I thought to myself.
As soon as I reached 100 meters in the air, over the lake. I ran out of mana. Enjoying the fall with her.
Then I started laughing really, really hard.
¡°ha ha ha ha h ah ah ah ah a ah ah ha ha¡± Choking while laughing all the while.
¡°I finally got my revenge on you.¡± I said.
All she replied was ¡°Really? I don¡¯t think so.¡±
I stopped laughing and realized she was smiling.
I then noticed something on her back open up, as if it was a big back above her head. I think it was called a parachute, but what its purpose was, I was not sure. After crashing into the lake, I got out, waiting for her to swim out.
Did you know this story is from Royal Road? Read the official version for free and support the author.
Vionia: Finally you got out.
As I turned around I saw this little girl. (Vionia gliding gracefully down.)
Vionia: Try harder next time.
I had lines going down my face. Ingenious, she truly is.
Vionia: We should go check to see if Tio and Frick¡¯s aren''t lazing around.
Since she was as slow as always, she got on my back and I ran to the towers supposed basement.
It was as if it was perfectly timed. Tio and Frick¡¯s were waiting for us just outside the newly marked rope.
HE he he. I knew that they too were smart, and I was going to see something good.
Vionia: What kind of garbage is this?
Since there was no one around Tio spoke up.
Tio: We are finished.
Frick¡¯s: It was my idea.
Vionia & Salim: Since when did you learn how to speak?
Frick¡¯s: Since I reached 1800 Stat points in each...
Salim: Whaaaa? How come you get to go that far and I''m only at 1500 each?
Vionia: What? I am barely at 800 in each Stat.
Frick¡¯s: It said I¡¯m sealed and can¡¯t grow further without the Moonstone.
Salim: I see, so all that bonus stat went in to your speech Stat right?
Frick¡¯s: Yep
Salim: Just because you know how to speak you shouldn''t just because you want to. The people will assume you''re a demon and try to kill you.
Frick¡¯s: Yeah, I know I know.
¡°Kapowbooom¡±
Salim: Don¡¯t get smart with me.
Vionia: Well what was your idea Fricks? It better had not been chasing butterflies while we were working our butts off.
Tio: Take a stone and throw it in the middle of that supposed basement center, with all your strength please, make it go at least 50 meters high.
I took a stone, ran up using Phantom Running, and at about 60 meters high with my full power tossed the stone.
The ground shook for a bit then the ground within the ropes began to collapse as if floors in a building falling on top of each other till the depth reached 15 meters.
Truly a magnificent sight, even I was amazed.
Salim & Vionia: Impressive.
Even all of the villagers ran up to see what that shaking was.
Elder: Amazing. It seemed like you were behind for some time but having all of the currently mined stones here and even the basement dug out. We can start building the basement while they mine more rocks.
With Vionia¡¯s conveyer that dropped rocks from the stockpile into the hugely dug out basement, I at the bottom of the basement laying out as much stone as I could around the walls the architect showed me, in order to prevent the collapse of the sides.
With my speed and Phantom Running we did not require any ladders or scaffolds I just used my running to do all of it. The invisible like platforms made by my running didn''t last long, but long enough for me to place the rocks properly.
In a weeks¡¯ time the outer foundation was finished.

Volume 1 Ch.10 Moonstone
As I placed the last stone from the stockpile near the tower the basement was now complete. It was 6 stories deep. Each floor was 2.5 meters tall. Fair enough I said. There was a 2-meter wide staircase following the outer wall all the way to the first basement floor. What we stood on now was a platform just above ground level, with a mithril ground door that enclosed the stairway access. I made sure to secure a key. You never know when you might need it.
During the quarry operation there seemed to be many deposits full of ore. So they decided to use the best of it for the purpose of the tower as well as to do some finishing touches to the Carriage I was promised.
However the key was something I could not forget to get and thus hid it.
It took us nearly 2 months to complete the interior of the basement as well as the stair. I even too a copy of the sketches since I notice there where a few hidden compartments that we build as well as an escape round that was made from the tower in to the Brik¡¯s Mountain range. I made the escape tunnel pass underneath the promised land of mine after the quest was complete. The architect didn¡¯t mind that either. So he kept quiet. The exit was made with mithril in order to prevent anyone from trying to melt it using low or high magic since magic was not good against the mithril metal.
The following morning as we where heading to the quarry. The Blacksmith tagged along carrying what he called his grandfathers pride in a form of a black sword. He was actually carrying it as if it where paper weight.
When we go to the mine we notice that the people were sitting down. One of them came up and said that they have cleared up most of the easy rocks and stock piled them again although not as many as the first time we came. They told us they hit a huge bolder that nearly took all there efforts to chip away at it. It was nearly 20 meters high. They had no idea how wide it went. He then said ideal thing is to cut it nicely but at this pace its really preventing them from their work.
That is when the blacksmith turned to me held out and said try to cut that bolder from top to bottom. I instantly took it to realize it was indeed heavy even for me. It was no easy task even to fake it being light. I was then scared of the blacksmith¡¯s strength.
As I used Phantom Running I was now 50 meters above the big boulder and with moment of gravity and using Phantom Running towards the ground I sliced the entire boulder with a clean cut. It didn¡¯t explode or anything. I sliced the boulder many times vertically then horizontally. That is when I reached my limit.
The blacksmith took over and finished cutting the huge bolder from the remaining topside. He did that so quick that I was really amazed.
That is when the blacksmith approached and asked me if I wanted to become a swords man?
I without hesitation said ¡°NO.¡±
All he said was if you change you mind come see me. He then left.
After the workers at the mine cleared up and we saw that the boulder was nearly 50 meters wide I frowned. I knew it was just as deep. Now there where stones even more then we initially started and with nicer cut then the previous stones.
As I was walking away I realized something caught my leg. I took a look It was a small chain tide to me. The other end you can guess where it ended up. At the new and developed catapult now propelled by steam power.
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Kachuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuummiii
Viiiiioooniiiiiaaaa iiiiiii wiiiiilll gettttt youuuu for thiiis.
Vionia: I can¡¯t hear youuuuuu.
Since the power of her newly made catapult was so great. We decided not to transport them to the newly made pile of stones and then start building.
While Vionia was catapulting rocks over Tio and Fricks helped the locals with different tasks that were meant for the completion of the tower.
Exactly one year after the start of the project. Even though there were many setbacks. We showed phenomenal progress even to the extent that all the villagers were surprised. During that year all holidays even got cancelled. It showed how much this village needed this tower.
At that one year mark stood the first floor of the tower.
Salim: ¡°Check Skills and Stats.¡±

I am satisfied. I better not get a class until all my stats are 1500. Certain stats such as INT and WIS especially from what Vionia said. Are the hardest to raise.
Frick¡¯s Stats where all 1800 except speech that was 500 points. His Shadow Step skill was the only other skill raised to LVL 92 with an additional effect: Rider will also be able to disappear completely while riding Frick¡¯s and will consume no extra mana/ stamina.
From the looks of it everything was on track.
I even put en effort in to Vionia¡¯s wake up calls. That when I realized how though it must have been to wake me up. Hence making her innovate new ways of torturing me.
I guess I was slightly proud for being so durable. Her three beginner Items where 3 different types of clothes. How funny, they literally were indestructible. Even when I ripped them up they would repair automatically when no one was looking.
If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement.
-------- It took us 2 months in order to two use that entire boulder that was cut up in to stones. At the same time with the first floor we were around 7 meters of the ground. I was building and assembling the interior at the same time since it was easier to do so.-------
The moment the stones stop falling from the sky I ran to the catapult only to see everyone staring at a meter size boulder that would not budge with all of the villagers and Vionia trying to pic it up. I tried to lift if up with them only to find out it barely moved.
So we decided to call the blacksmith. As soon as he came he understood why we couldn¡¯t. He simply said that is a black asteroid. The same metal the sword was made from. He took out his black sword and with tremendous swings started to chip it away while collecting the heavy chips off and transported them to his shop. When it was about the size of the fist he stopped.
It was a different color in the center made out of transparent stone slightly bluish.
Blacksmith: I guess you deserve that stone for all the hard work until now. It¡¯s a moonstone and is supposedly as light as a feather.
I had a big grin on my face for I knew what I could do with it. However I wanted Fricks to also reach 1800 stats in each category before I even offered him the stone.
So I hid it away in the same place as that key to the mithril doors.
Before he left he took a couple swings at another boulder near by and we again had enough stone to last us a couple months.
30 stories were really high. Since everything above the basement was agreed upon to be at least 3 meters tall for each floor.
Making it 90-meter tall tower. (Over 270 feet tall.)
Currently at 7 meter of the ground it seemed like a long way to go.
This time I tried a new approach. I got in the catapult and was shot out like a boulder. I then used my Phantom Running and within seconds was at the tower. I amaze my self sometimes.
As I was still amazed at my self:
Badoinggggggggg. A hot stone landed straight in to my face as I turned around.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Since I was so angry due to the stone that hit me had to be hot I destroyed a few dozen incoming stones with my bare fists after landing 2 -3 punches they were nearly turned to dust.
I was wondering how did her aim get so good. Well I¡¯ll just have to put a note in my mind to get back at her once again.
Her aim was no longer the bottom of the tower but more to the top of the tower. After 4 more months, I was working now around 59 meters high in the air. So as soon as the small rainstorm started I met a very frizzy friend.
KAZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM!
I was charred and falling of the tower. At the same time the stones stopped being catapulted up. Vionia was able to install a makeshift telescope to the catapult and clearly saw what happened stopped from firing in order not to destroy the tower.
| You have been severely paralyzed! | - You will be un able to move for a duration of one week.
- Due to the nature of this paralysis normal methods will not work to break you free from it.
- You are also unable to talk; fortunately you are able to feel pleasure or pain. |
Vionia was really mad; that I was so careless and didn¡¯t side step or something.
So she started to innovate different methods of how to make me talk and wanted to see if she can cause enough damage to me to cause me to die so that I could get back to work. All her efforts seem to go in vain.
She finally got so mad after trying all her torture methods I still didn¡¯t move. She brought a knife and struck me in to the heart I could feel I was dyeing. She took it out and literally bled me till I was half dead and passed out.
When I woke up the next morning she was sleeping besides me.

I continued to rest that day to recover my strength.

Volume 2 Ch. 1 Iliana the Guardian
The sun shone brightly through the window that morning. I was glad I was able to fully recover and get a good night sleep without interruptions. As I was lying there the door opened slowly Vionia came in.
Seeing me awake she was really relieved.
Vionia: I am sorry I for all those torturous things I have done in the past.
Vionia: You know when it seemed that you have completely recovered and lay there for the rest of the day. You fell in too what I though a deep sleep.
Vionia: You know I was so worried that you would never wake up.
Salim: How long have I been asleep?
Vionia: Share information screen.
| !!! World Class Message !!! |
| - The Skill Eraser Cold has passed.
- It has been 2 years from the Global Epidemic.
- You may now learn new skills. |
Salim: Perhaps it would off bin better for me to respawn.
Salim: Well I have rested way too much. Time to get to work and finish the Tower.
Vionia: About that! We have tried to continue building the Tower to finish it. We have ran in too a slight problem. The Lightning hasn¡¯t stopped hitting the top of the Tower. No one dares to continue building it. We didn¡¯t just sit around. We even tried lighting rods made out of titanium but to no success. They would just melt entire rod on contact. There is a small cloud over the perimeter of the tower only striking there and the cloud didn¡¯t leave once.
After a while of silence Vionia continued with her story on everything they had tried. Then she said that they after the whole town was looking through all the books they have gathered in order to find some clue to its solution.
Vionia: It was found. The clue was found. It is written that buildings could only be built up to 60 meters in the sky. The architect actually even measured the tower. It seems the last stone you placed completed 60 meters in to the air.
Salim: Does that mean our quest is a failure. Did that old geezer know about this? Darn it¡
Vionia: There is one solution although it would seem quite impossible at this moment.
Salim: Well don¡¯t keep me in suspense! What is it?
Vionia: We need an expressed permission from one of the Guardians of this world.
Salim: Who, how and where do we find them.
Vionia: Where they are no one knows. How we find them is either circle the globe to find them or go screaming so that they reveal themselves to us.
Vionia: As for their names, we don¡¯t know. However we uncovered a myth that mentioned a few places most likely related to the guardian. Those places are: Lava Tempest of the Equator, Flying Dragon City, Vanishing Island, and Gravitational Verum.
Vionia: No one has stepped foot to either of these places in one thousand years or at least that¡¯s what the Elder claims. He even mentioned that he hid the truth from us. The truth is that there are only 6 places in this world that have a building that is more then thousands of years old. Which is said to also be 90 meters high. Elder told me he would let us know all the details behind his intentions when you woke up.
Salim: I am actually hungry so lets call over the Elder and hear his story.
As we waited for the Elder I kept quiet even towards Vionia. Since I actually knew where the Vanishing Island was. I was just always curious why it was called Vanishing Island instead of Vanishing Islands. Until I knew the full mystery about it I was not going to share my knowledge with the villagers. I was going to tell Vionia later on though.
When the Elder came and sat down. With a frown he started the conversation.
Elder: It has been 2 years since I met you eager bunch. I at first was worried you might be spies or people sent here to undermine our work to make this frontier village work. So I even went as far as to as you to build us a Wizards Tower.
Elder: If you would of built it. All my suspicions of you would completely disappear. I never imagined in to running in to this type of situation. In order for the teleportation spell in the other 6 Towers around this world to actually work, they needed to be at least 70 meters high. All of the 6 Towers are from 70-80 meters not a meter higher.
Elder: I am basically an exiled prince. The story I told you about the carriage ordered by a prince was actually made for me. Since I am the youngest prince. I no longer go by that old name of mine. Since I was set up and blamed for the attempt to take the over the throne by force. My father the King exiled me never to set foot again in his Citadel. Who only allows the Nobel¡¯s to enter!
Elder: Please from today I would like you to address me by my new name that the peasants across all of the kingdoms gave me. ¡°Fin¡¡± I really liked it the name since I tried to influence the Global environment to treat everyone equal. That is were all my brothers disagreed and even set me up, in order not to be ashamed by their youngest brother in front of every Nobel. Thus I was exiled.
Fin: I told my brothers and my father the King. That I was still going to establish a start of the Strongest Kingdom in the World. Where every person from peasant to noble would be able to use the Wizards Tower for anything they would like. I said that I was going to lay a foundation of the most significant place on this World.
Fin: I have lived 420 years already and my time is coming to an end. I don¡¯t even have a successor for my Kingdom. I have laid a small foundation for a village from scratch but not even a foundation of a small citadel or Kingdom. When you guys showed up I decided to test you and see if you can help me obtain my dream. Now I clearly understand why they laughed at me even more when I stated I was going to build the highest Wizards Tower on the Planet. My original goal was 120 meters high. Over time I decreased my ambition to that of being only 10 meters taller then the current tallest tower. Even the current plans that the architect has are the plans to be able to build the tower. However he only showed you up to 90 meters high. I always look up in to the sky and ask my self will I live to see that day when the tower I have dreamt of. You deserved to know the truth. Ever since I saw how diligently and hard you worked to fulfill an old mans dream. Thank You
Fin: As I now understand my mistake I would like to take back the quest. All that I have promised is your with no penalties. You may do what ever you want from now on. Thank You once again.
Fin then fell silent.
Just as he was about to get up and leave¡¡..
Salim: Elder Fin! We didn¡¯t finish the quest yet so we will not stop here just because its gotten a little difficult. I would like to use the entire sketches of the 120-meter Tower so that we may accomplish your real dream and not some halfhearted dream of 90-meter tower.
The elder had a very big smile on his face.
Fin: Then when you finish I have something extra for all of you.
| !!! Quest Update !!!
- Finish the full 120 meters of the Wizards Tower.
- Time limit is still the same.
- Quest Difficulty increased from A to SSS.
- Additional rewards are unknown.
note: You will still receive the previous awards. |
That is when I told everyone that we were going on a journey to find one of the guardians. Everyone was shocked but said nothing in complaint and even gave us supplies for the journey.
When we got out of town. Frick¡¯s, Tio, Vionia all yelled in unison: ¡°we will be back soon.¡±
Frick¡¯s: I say within 1 month we shall be back.
Salim: It seems they don¡¯t mind you speaking when did all of this happen?
Vionia: The thing is there were some Adventures passing by with talking tamed beasts. It seems everyone was expecting them to start speaking eventually. It also seems that many animals can learn how to speak according to the Architect/ Scholar/ Engineer guy.
Salim: I see.
Vionia: Why did Frick¡¯s say will be back in a month?
Salim: Oh that. Well that¡¯s because we know where the Vanishing Island is.
Vionia: Whaaaaaat? You know where they are? How are we supposed to cross the ocean though since it is an Island?
Salim: I bet with Frick¡¯s ability he can run on water by now, same with me. When it comes to you either I can carry you or Tio can transform in to a whale and carry you on his back while he follows me. I think there was a mysterious feeling to it last time I crossed it implying that one can only enter through the sea.
Vionia: Well then why a month?
Salim: I don¡¯t think the guardian will just hand something that precious which will help us build the Tower up to the height of 120 meters.
Vionia: How long is it to get there?
Salim: Hmm running at my current full speed is roughly a day. Since Frick¡¯s is even faster then me and I assume Tio isn¡¯t lacking behind roughly half a day. Well then shall we learn how to ride our companions as they run there?
Vionia: Sure
Tio & Frick¡¯s: Well then friends hold on tight we are going to go full speed.
| You have learned a new skill. Riding. | | - As your level increases in this skill the easier it will be for you to ride with less effort.
- The faster the speed the faster you will learn to ride.
- The higher level in this skill also means it will increase the speed of the Monster you are riding.
Note: Depending on the monster you are riding the higher the stats of the monster the easier it is to ride them. In the event the monster is above 1000 Stat points in agility. It is said that even a child will be able to ride without falling off even in tremendous speed. Since the monster will protect you with their aura manifested using their mana and stamina. |
As Frick¡¯s and Tio took of running I looked at my Riding Skill to see if it would level up. To my surprise This is what I saw.

We stopped at the cliff were we first came up for a brief moment.
Tio Transformed in to a large bird in order to descend from the cliff with Vionia.
I got off picked Frick¡¯s up and used my Phantom Running in order to get to the bottom of the cliff. I than ran since it would still be hard for Frick¡¯s to carry me and run on water. Tio also turned in to a whale and carried Vionia upon his back we crossed the Raging Waters of the Equator.
Another hour passed and we arrived at my little cabin. ? I was having all sorts of memories come up in my mind.
There was a big difference I saw a small island that was not there before. It was bigger then the rest. So when we approached it we saw a bigger hut then mine. There sat 5 people on chairs fishing. As my co. came closer and were now on the same island as them they continued to lightly talk.
Salim: Excuse me would you tell me who you are and what are you doing here?
Strangers: SHHHHHHHHHH you¡¯ll spook the fish away. Come have a seat and we can talk.
Co.: Ah yes. Thank You.
Female Stranger: I see you Salim and Frick¡¯s have really grown quite powerful.
Salim: Do we know you?
Frick¡¯s: Itttttttt¡¯ssss Maaaaamaaaaa
Everyone was stunned, even Tio who knew slightly more about monsters then us.
Salim: Is this your true form? I asked.
Frick¡¯s Mom: Call me Iliana.
Salim: Ok Mrs. Iliana.
Iliana: Just Iliana since to tell you the truth its not my natural appearance. However its almost like asking a girls age. So don¡¯t ask for my true appearance.
Iliana: I am sorry my friends do not wish for their names to be revealed. The only reason I told you was because you became very good friends with my boy who I even let you name, which I took licking towards. Frick¡¯s
Iliana: Well we pretty much know everything about you and your circumstances since 4 of us here are the Guardians of this planet.
Salim: Aren¡¯t there 5 of you?
Iliana: Yes but we have a rotating schedule. 4 active and 1 usually rest until it is time to rotate. You must keep that a secret though. Today happens to be the day I go in to slumber. I am happy to see Frick¡¯s again before I go to sleep 1000 years. I can also release his seal with the help of a moonstone if you have one now would be the only time to use it.
Salim: Yes I have one here.
Iliana: What a rare sight for such a young one to find one so quickly. Ok here I go¡. Its done.
Salim: Kind of anti climatic
Iliana: Ha ha ha ha. Yes indeed the effect takes time and the continuation of growth to show any signs.
Salim: Well that one thing down. However you know the other reasons we are here.
Iliana: Yes I do! All you have to do is get an Emperor Class Profession. Since I am sure the Emperor of closest empire wont bestow such a Profession on a no body or in other words a commoner. I will allow you to choose your profession. If you choose wisely It could even be an Emperor Class Profession.
Salim: A while back when the polar Mountains Erupted I ran around trying to save villagers. Seeing that many got hurt since I wasn¡¯t fast enough to reach them. I don¡¯t want to see poor people that are trying to survive get hurt ever again.
Iliana: The Polar Eruptions was actually a wake up call for one of the guardians. It also signifies the change of one of the guardians. ¡¡¡¡.. As per what you have experienced. ¡¡. It definetly is hard to see people get hurt and you want to prevent that by having sufficient time on your hands¡¡
Iliana walked away and talked about something with the other strangers in an unknown language. After that she returned.
Iliana: You are from a race called Zanil are you not?
Salim: Yes I am.
Iliana: Then it is decided. With the approval of the other 4 guardians we bestow a Title on you that will also act as your profession. This has never happened before where all 5 guardians are present and will bestow you with a title of this magnitude to a worth person that is not only kind but courage¡¯s and brave. We the guardians know your every deed up to this point and unanimously agreed to bestow you with this Title that will be your Profession as well. Do you accept even if you do not know what it is?
Salim: I accept.
As a Lighting Strike came down and hit me so did a Fire pillar, Wind pillar, Dirt pillar and an Ice pillar that pierced my heart. Then Ice pillar also pierced the heart of all my companions. We where dying. However none of us did.
Iliana: It is done. You have received what you asked for and may never be changed. Your companions also received an ultimate profession that suits their characteristics better then the one they currently hold.
Iliana: It is time. You need to leave the Great Elder Sea Turtle or what you call the Vanishing Island is now leaving to the coldest place in this world where I will slumber. Since I am the Water Affinity Guardian. I will be able to sleep better when it¡¯s colder around me. By the way sorry for the snowstorm I caused when you were still on the island. If you don¡¯t hurry and leave now you will loose your way to that struggling village. Just a little hint, there is a massive army headed for the little village. It will probably take them 2 years to reach that village. It seems they really don¡¯t want that poor Fin to build his empire. Even though I believe something will happen in his favor this time. Well off you go.
We left immediately without checking our classes or professions. Since we just heard of the new threat that was headed towards our beloved village.
Salim: I think that went too smoothly.
Vionia: I guess the guardians really don¡¯t need anything at all.
Salim: We will have to wait and see. I have a feeling that they are going to request something of us sooner or later.
Vionia: Perhaps.
Fricks: Bye Bye mother.. See you soon I hope.
Iliana: Take care and I will see you soon.
Tio: I thought I was going to die. The moment I met her eyes I knew who she was. Even the other Guardians were there. It feels I just escaped sudden death.
In just another day we reached the town and everyone was surprised. They all asked if we gave up on finding the guardians. Once we said we have already received what was necessary from the guardians. The moments of silence lasted about a minute then the entire village exploded in shouts of joy.

Volume 2 Ch. 2 Wizards Tower
Everyone in the town didn¡¯t believe us at all. So to prove it I went up to the tower and started Phantom Running up to the top. As soon as I got up there, the lighling stoped and a message appeared.
| !!! Tower !!! |
| - Would you like to authorize this tower to exceed the high of 60 meters?
- If there is an Onyx stone at the top of the tower. You may imbue the powers bestowed on you by the guardians into the Onyx stone. Which will utilize that power to protect from invading armies or monsters.
- The height of the tower enables the tower to protect more land. For every meter it can protect 1 kilometer in radius. |
| With all the authority invested in me I authorize this tower to be built up too 130 meters. |
I then was able to stack a few stones to show everyone that we could now continue building. Everyone gathered and made a huge party. Since I my self was still confused of what was happening. I said nothing else to anyone.
Then I remembered why we were in such of a hurry so I told everyone what the guardian warned me about. I then told them what the guardian warned me about. It seems that there is an army heading to annihilate the small village.
Everyone turned pale when I mentioned that. I then told them It would take them around 2 years. So we still had time to prepare. I even told them that if we find a big Onyx stone I can place it upon the top of the tower which would protect us from any army with the bigger the stone the more power I can infuse it with.
That is when everyone¡¯s eyes lit up. I wasn¡¯t sure why. That¡¯s one when someone yelled out. We found the biggest Onyx stone as of 3 years ago. Elder Fin continued the story of how they found it. It size after shaping it in to a required shape was 1 meter height ? meter wide.
Salim: So all we need to do is finish building the Tower correct?
Fin: Yes that is correct.
Salim: Then let¡¯s get started after I eat a good meal.

Salim: Oh thanks.

| Time Stop Permanent Stat
- The limit a Time Lord can allow a lower Time Series Title/ Profession to be in a Time Dilation Field.
- The Limit of how many companions can enter a permanent Time Dilation Field. Has to be accompanied by a Time Lord. |
Vionia mentioned that all her stats after the guardians boost where at 1000 each. Nothing special was noted about her New Profession other then the words. Discover on your own, since you are now an inventor and Time is the limit, which belongs to the Time Lords. With their permission you may use time dilation field as well as trinkets with time ability but they would only last as long as the Time Lord who permitted it, appropriate to their Rank and Stat.
Frick¡¯s stats were locked at 1800 and reached that level in all stats. All that changed is the cap total was taken off. He also gained a profession of Guardian in Training (Affinity not yet bestowed upon the Guardian by a C Rank Time Lord.
Salim: Elder Fin I have a big request.
Fin: What is it young one?
Salim: May we ask that the food be prepared every minute from now on. Since we will be going in into a time Dilation field that will slow down time from 1 hour to being equivalent to one day. We would like to finish the tower as soon as possible. I will also ask to borrow the Blacksmiths sword for cutting up the quarry boulders.
The elder was once again stunned of the request but only waved his head in agreement.
I took two small onyx chips¡¯ that were carved from the 1 meter Onyx stone and enchanted on with fire attack power and the other with water attack power. Gave them to Vionia and told her they will activate if taped 3 times in quick succession.
She altered the catapult to support these stones so that the catapult would not require a constant wood to burn in the furnace or water to be poured in order to run the steam engine that launched the stones.
As soon as she tried the stones after the installation of the stones the proficiency in steam developed was tremendous. As soon as I realized that I took the stones and imbued a restriction in to them only permitting this villages current residents to use as well as my companions. Since there were no players in this village I didn¡¯t need to fret that they could get a hold of this machine when we were doing something else.
We even sent word to the Wizards to send at least one person who would like to manage a Wizards Tower. We however only mentioned the height of the Wizards tower at its current State of 60 meters high. It seems there were hundred of these 60 meter high towers. So the wizards simply returned the reply that they will send they¡¯re youngest and could not afford to send anyone more experienced or willing to go. It seems the word of the exiled prince has reached them so they sent the youngest and most trouble making little wizard they could find. With wizards enchants and buffs that he could bestow on a carriage. It was going to take him about 10 months without stop to travel the distance in a carriage. His name was something like Wizard Trill.
So co. and me started to build the tower once again. After about a month the trajectory of the catapult could no longer exceed 65 meters at such of a distance. Where its peak of the trajectory was well over 120 meters. I now had to pretty much in the air most of the time. All of this was happening in the permanent time dilation field. Which resulted in roughly the tower being built about 5 meters high in real world. What took us the most since we where not used to was gathering and stockpiling ore. Since the Time dilation field could only support 4 very active people working in it. Other people passing through the dilation field didn¡¯t even know that they were in one. Since no one could enter the field without my permission.
So our time in the field was about a month where in the real world it was only 30 hours. They where cooking non-stop. As soon as they placed the food on the table without being able to see what happened it would disappear. The reason why they where not frightened was because I explained to them what would be occurring till the tower was built.
In real life what they saw was that the tower rose 5 meters higher every 2.5 hours. That¡¯s all the stockpiling and gathering of stones.
In real time: As it came to 30 hours real time we finished the tower. With all the benefits of moving fast even using phantom running in the dilation field it made time even slower. I could of completely stop time but what would we eat then. That is why we had to work in a slowed environment. That way the food was always fresh. To my surprise never even once was I tortured or catapulted by Vionia. I wonder what has happened to her to change so drastically. Elder once told me that she took care of me day and night when I was recovering from the paralysis that ended in one day but recovery was slowed to almost non-existent.
When we stopped working everyone saw the amazement of the tower.

In the mean time we went to sleep as the blacksmith and the architect prepared the necessary Onyx Holder.
When I woke up I saw people that gathered around a shiny circle that held the Onyx store, as if pondering what to do.
So when they saw Vionia and me they ran to see if we could solve this predicament.
After a brief story it pretty much said that it was extremely light but bulky stand to rise all the way to the tower. I asked what that plate was. The blacksmith said it¡¯s a secret however ill tell you this its lighter then Titanium but 10x Stronger then one. It encompassed the Onyx so that no one would be able to take it out or break it free. It even had a Cover that would completely close of the Onyx stone so that there was no access to it. He said after we place this upon the top of the tower we would close it off so that no one will be able to destroy the Onyx stone since it was rather fragile to blunt force.
He was right it was fairly easy to lift the entire mount which had strange chains made out of the same metal were hanging down in 8 different points.
I then used phantom running and got up the tower instantly. After placing the Onyx with its pedestal a window popped up.
| !!!Wizards Tower is now Complete!!! |
| - Would you like to enchant the Onyx stone? The current stone can only support 4 basic elemental affinities: Wind, Water, Fire, Earth.
- With the current High of the tower. The range under the towers protection will be 120 kilometers all around the tower.
- With earth affinity tower will be able to cast stones from the ground within the towers range as well as never degrade or be destroyed.
- With Fire affinity tower will be able to cast fireballs/ fire streams as well as never be affected by fire. Could be used as a source of warmth during winter.
- With water affinity the water in the towers range will always have water underground near the surface. The tower will be able to attack using water streams underground. The tower will never be destroyed by the means of water.
- Wind affinity would provide flying animals, windmill and so forth with favorable winds. The tower can attack using wind at its disposal limits to only the range of the tower. Cannot be destroyed by any type of winds and it can neutralize hostel winds. |
| I bestow all of the 4 affinities that this Onyx can support. |
| Authorization Excepted.
Initializing the procedure. |
The Onyx that is black by nature light up like a sun in the sky. The 8 chains started to dance wildly and melted in to thin little strings that stretched around the entire tower locking the tower like a spider web.
As I was thinking out loud I said the following that appeared in a window.
| I would like a nice roof for this tower that would hold the following rooms for: Vionia, Tio, Tio¡¯s Cub, Frick¡¯s, Towers Wizard, 2 additional empty rooms for later usage determination and mine.
It would be nice if we could have balconies in each of the rooms as well as the bathrooms. |
Eh as the tower interlocked with the strings. The strings that danced wildly stopped and the entire tower glowed brightly for a brief moment. I then felt a slight shaking and then I saw stones of all sized started to gather and start building what I had said out loud. I saw gold bits, mithril bits, titanium bits, and even other ores I have never seen combine in to small stones that build the towers top rooms with a roof that seemed like it could change colors from clear to black just by touching it. As it was being built automatically I understood that the ceiling really did change from crystal clear in to black only from the inside of the room. Thus not being manipulated on no matter what touched it on the outside.
The box that was supposed to protect the Onyx Stone suddenly was torn apart and shaped in the air using different element to shape it, as soon as it was shaped two doors where made and on placed as the door to lower levels and the other to the upper rooms. The remaining pieces made an intricate round case for the outside of the crystal that now had 4 elements rotating around it. I assumed that who ever try to touch it. It would destroy them if they didn¡¯t have the proper authorization.

| All authorizations accepted. Tower is now active and currently is engaging, monsters and a foreign army 110 kilometers away who seem to be pursuing someone. |
Sweet this seems to be even better then the rewards initially promised.
The tower was now complete.
The floor the Onyx was on was completely open to wind. I saw the intense wind barrier, flying rocks, water streams and fireballs surrounding the room with the onyx. It only made a way once I approached it to let me through. I then used Phantom Running to get down the tower.
Everyone was waiting for me there. I mean everyone. As they looked at this enormous tower that was built I knew they had a look full of pride and joy. The blacksmith was surprised as was the architect.
I asked them both for their names so that I could authorize them to access the tower.
Blacksmith: Let me reintroduce my self. I am Gin. It was a pleasure to construct this tower with you and thank you for all you have done for us.
Architect: I am called Jun.
Trinpik Wizard Tower I authorize these two people with full access except access to the Onyx Stone.
| Additional personnel authorized. |
I immediately turned to Frick¡¯s.
Salim: Frick¡¯s the tower has detected someone running away from an army please go bring the person here. As for the army the tower will take care of them. The tower will guide you using a water arrow.
Frick¡¯s immediately disappeared as he took off at full speed.
As the elder approached and tried to say something I said why not talk over the other things during a meal. I am still hungry.
This entire spectacle for some reason took us 10 hours ever since I ate in the morning.
The stone no longer shone as brightly but did look something like this.

volume 2 Ch. 3 Wizard Trill
It was a good dinner and as dinners go we had a conversation with the elder in the mean time.
Fin: I would like to offer you a new proposition. Rather then the old rewards that I have promised you.
Salim: What ever your about to tell me you know I will accept either way. So what is it?
Fin: Well then if that¡¯s how it¡¯s going to be then how about we do a little ceremony tomorrow for you and your co.
Salim: Very well, like I said I accept and accept on behalf of my co.
As we where drinking tea. We heard Frick¡¯s footsteps. As he came in through the front door, in his teeth he had a person that he had picked him up by his robes belt. So he was sort of dangling down. As soon as the person was dropped to the ground he vomited as if he was full to begin with. That¡¯s when everyone broke out in to laughter.
He seemed to realize that people were laughing at him. As soon as he stood up he realized the monster Frick¡¯s who was standing behind him was still there. Frick¡¯s height was now about as tall as a horse.
Fin: It seems that Frick¡¯s almost gave you a heart attack.
Salim: Yes we asked him to go pick up the person who was being chased by the army.
Stranger: Excuse me may I have some water. I just experienced what one could say as two death encounters.
As the stranger drank the water he looked around the place.
Frick¡¯s: Elder Fin and Salim this person seems to be a wizard.
Stranger freaked even more out when he heard the monster speak.
Fin: What is your name?
Stranger: Trill. Apprentice Wizard Trill currently in training. I am on assignment to go to a small village with a small tower to begin my training there.
Fin & Salim: He he he he he he he he he he. Small tower ha. Do you really want to go to a small tower.
Trill: I don¡¯t mind the seclusion. What made me go is because I have no one in my life! I was raised upon the streets. I always wanted to be a Wizard so that I may help those unfortunate street boys so when I somehow applied and passed the wizard aptitude test I was happy. Even then I faced oppression however I never gave up. Since I became such a nuisance they got rid of me. Sent me to a small village, who knows where? I don¡¯t want to be of any burden to anyone. So perhaps I should leave since the army is chasing me who know why.
Fin: You don¡¯t have to go anywhere since we were expecting you.
Salim: How did you get here so fast?
Trill: Thank goodness I have arrived at the right place. I though you were going to kick me out as well. I got here so fast since I disobeyed my elders and continued to practice the teleportation spell on my self for short distances. I got used to using them fast enough to be able to teleport as far as I could see in a second. As soon as I got closer to the village I saw an army like camp and since I was out of mana and darkness surrounded me so I could not teleport far. Its cuz I didn¡¯t know where I would teleport to and get stuck in a tree or something. After eating at the army camp and sleeping till morning. A messenger came from the City I was dispatched saying to catch me a traitor who disobeyed a direct order from the Elder Wizard.
[th_084_.gif]
Thats why I started to run, and since it was foggy I could not tell where I was going and not a moment to soon I started running being chased. I ran for the entire day. I really though I was going to die. I was happy they didn¡¯t bring horses to the camp and just ran after me. Just as it was getting dark, I was completely surrounded. As they were about to take my head the rocks near me began to fly up in the air and launch at the soldiers who were trying to kill me. After a while water from nearby rivers also began to attack my pursuers. That is when a huge monster that appeared in the circle. I for sure though I was going to die only to see it grab me by the belt and started to disappeared from the soldiers eyes along with me.
Salim: That is no monster his name is Frick¡¯s. He can speak and understand everything you say so don¡¯t get him angry. Since he is no ones pet.
Oh by the way the tower you are talking about that you were meant to take care of is the one right across from this in.
Trill: I see. Frick¡¯s thank you for saving me. I owe you my life.
Fin: Are you not eager to see the tower? [th_093.gif]
Trill: Although I did not see it. I already know its only 60 meters tall. So it¡¯s nothing special. I have seen thousands of building at that high in the city.
Fin: Ho ho ho, Yes the city has many of those 60 meter towers. I sure haven¡¯t seen anything like it. The tower I mean. The one that¡¯s just across the in from here.
Trill: Thank You sir. For everything but there is no one in this world who would trust a tower taller then 60 meters to me.
Fin: My boy. You will learn we are a different bunch then those form a city. Now why wont you go take a peak at the tower. We even granted access to you. So when you approach the tower it will recognize you.
Trill: Sir or sir 60-meter tall towers don¡¯t need authorization to access it. In the city they have guards that regulate that. I also doubt a small village like this was able to build one higher then that.
Salim: I suggest you don¡¯t insult our efforts before you even had a look.
Trill: I apologize. I try to be realistic. I will go take a look.
As soon as Trill stepped out side. He shouted WHAAAAAA ISSSS this? :?:
Salim & Fin: Yep just as expected. He he he he h eh e
We could hear all sort of changing. Like dispel illusion and stuff. Nothing worked then a small stone hit him in the face. Aww who did that.
I stepped out to see what was happening. As I though the tower got a bit annoyed with him trying to dispel the illusion tower.
Salim: Trinpik Tower give him a tour will you? I mean of the outside. Upside down is preferable.
Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
The tower as if reaching out to him with a high volume of air and a wip made out of water grabbed him by the lake and swirled him around the tower top and to the ground.
When the tour was over it placed him back on the ground and he yet again vomited.
Salim: Welcome to our little village. This is the tallest tower in the entire world. I will let you get acquainted with it.
Trill: I guess this really isn¡¯t an illusion. I am surprised to the size of the tower. I noticed it uses wind and water. Are those its affinities?
Salim: O no do not limit it to 2 affinities, since it has 4 affinities: water, wind, earth and fire.
Trill: I have studied all about the towers and there are no records of towers even possessing 3 affinities yet alone 4.
Salim: Well I wanted to bestow 5 affinities on it, but that Onyx could only support 4.
As I was explaining thing to him his jaw remained open for nearly 30 minutes.
Salim: Why not try it out your self. Go ahead ask for fire or water or something.
Trill: Ahh yess right away.. Tower please make a tornado followed by water ball tossed in to the tornado and earth stone in to the tornado as well. Followed by an extremely heated fireball at the tornadoes base projected in to the sky.
By the time he finished saying it the fireball was already launched. At the impact of all 4 elements with the tornado propelling them upward they flew and exploded as if they were fire works on crack.
At the same time there was no damage done to anyone or anything around.
Trill: I don¡¯t know how this is all possible but it is true, that this tower can manipulate 4 elements. But I will I will use it to the best of my ability everyone in this region.
Fin: I suggest you eat up and go to sleep early. Since tomorrow you will also partake in the ceremony since you are here.
Salim: Since I have my own room now in the tower I will be sleeping there. Elder! You and Trill also have rooms on the uppermost level. So go check them out. The tower when it made those rooms it made beds using water element and stone element that totally feels like the softest bed ever made. I even checked it durability it was indestructible waterbed since its part of the tower. I noticed it even furbished the rooms with wardrobes and tables as well as couches.
As I came up to the tower, I decided to try something and said please take me to my room. Then the earth beneath me like a platform rose me all the way to where my supposedly balcony should be. There was nothing. No mater I took a step in to the blank space and I noticed under my foot I felt as if I was standing on wind. The balcony too form as I looked around It was really made out of air.
Impressive I though to myself, and continued to enter my room the door opened automatically and when I entered I saw Vionia in my room cooking. I was stupefied.
Salim: I didn¡¯t order a kitchen to be made in my room.
Vionia: All done dinner snack Kebab is ready to eat.
As she lifted the plates of the stove the stove melted in to the floor of the tower as if nothing was there. I was again stupefied.
Vionia: I hope you like Kebab. It took me 2 hours to make them just right. You and Elder Fin sure did talk a lot so I helped my self around the tower even asked the tower to park my catapult that I want to drastically improve in to my room. So I am sorry we will have to share a bed tonight.
Salim: ¡¡. (Lines across his face.) Ok I will try your Kebab.
Vionia: Yay you will finally eat something I made while being conscious.
Salim: Wait what???
Vionia: Oh the maids at the inn though me how to cook.
Salim: oh Ok.
The meat was actually delicious. Even though it was a snack supposedly it was more like a dinner for 10 people. I guess I didn¡¯t realize how hungry I was so I pretty much ate everything.
I then realized that she was actually very nice and quite beautiful: extremely dark natural hair, blue eyes, olive skin and a bright smile.
Anyway lets not get carried away here.
Salim: We have to go to a ceremony tomorrow. Elder Fin said he will send someone up with our attire in the morning.
Vionia: What¡¯s the ceremony about?
Salim: I don¡¯t know I accepted it without even hearing him out.
Vionia: Well if it goes as well as the last time I will probably kill you. Just kidding.
Salim: What counts is we had fun don¡¯t you think?
Vionia: I just want to travel for a bit. You know.
Salim: I have a feeling that we will have to.
authors note: Sorry that this chapter was long and mainly conversation. Next will be adventure.. Keep Reading.

Volume 2 Ch. 4 Royalty
That morning the ceremony was not small since everyone from the village attended the banquet hall in the Wizards Tower on the First Floor. The first Floor had a large open area with only a reception desk with stairs going up. The trap door was hidden underneath the big reception desk.
During the banquet Elder Fin announced the new Wizard who was to maintain and be in charge of the Wizard Tower. He then announced co. and me. He made a great speech about our heroic deeds in taking charge and completing the tower.
Then he continued to say that we have accepted to found a country of Trinpik where Vionia and I will rule as Empress and Emperor. The current village would fall under the New Empire of Trinpik.

I had a huge grin on my face. We even go to keep the attire we wore that seemed to cost a fortune in it self.
After a full day of party, Trill and Elder Fin approached.
Trill: Salim it is time for you to go to Azitium Kingdom. The ruler of Azitium sent out private messages to every major kingdom calling for a summit. The summit is going to be used to confirm every major kingdom on this planet. He is trying to use this to unite and eradicate the small empires scattered around the planet naming them terrorist/ rebel groups. If this happens one Tower will not be able to protect even this small village from such a combined force. We are sure of only around 10 major kingdoms around the globe and as you can tell there are many others unknown to us. However there are currently only seven towers including Trinpik.
Elder Fin: This is a great opportunity to direct some of the smaller empires to join our growing one. Since I believe my Eldest brother who is the leader of Azitium Kingdom will want to eradicate those small kingdom regardless of the outcome of the summit. It will enable him to identify those smaller kingdoms faking to acknowledge them as kingdoms.
As Vionia saw us talking approached.
Vionia: Yay I smell adventure. I got to say I am taking my catapult with us.
Salim: Elder Fin & Wizard Trill. I see what you are saying and I say. When do we head out?
Elder Fin: Everything is prepared you may go tonight. However who is going to pull your carriage? I think it would take you years to pull that thing at such a slow pace. If you find a way to move it faster it would be wise to use it. Since the summit is in one week from now. It usually takes 8 months without cheating like the Wizard we know.
Salim: I have a feeling we wont need the carriage to be pulled at all.
Trill: Ehhhh. How so?
Salim: The DragonStones I received as an additional reward are the reason. Since they are so small I can only bestow one affinity on them each. So in both them I am going to put gravity affinity. That way they can make the carriage either lighter or heavier. The onyx stones that are imbedded all around the carriage I will bestow the other 4 affinities in to them. They should be able to support some power if not much.
Trill: Ehhhhhh. You can control Gravity Affinity as well?
Salim: No not control it but bestow special stones with the power. I still have a long way to go before I my self can manifest this power.
Trill: Just how many guardians¡¯ blessings did you get?
Salim: That¡¯s a secret I was asked to keep by the guardian.
Trill: Never mind then.
Salim: It time to put my theory to the test.
After infusing two DragonStones with gravity affinity and placing one near the front of the sculpture it entered the sculpture. The second one floated up from my hands and entered in somewhere in the rear of the carriage.
I then went around the carriage and bestowed a total of 20 small onyx stones 5 of each affinity except gravity since they could not support that. A little while later the carriage color changed as if it was made out of gold. Even the mithril changed it¡¯s color. It now looked golden with transparent rock clear as the sky for windows.
It looked almost like this.
I then had to establish certain programed rules for all the stones. It basically came down to If the Emperor or the Empress allowed someone to use it only then would the carriage be moveable. After it was parked it would make it self 50 times heavier. Not being able to move by anyone¡¯s choice or opinion. It was like an anti theft system.
Ha ha ha I again had a grin on my face.
After getting our food supplies we set out. The others already knew that the two monster companions could also transform. I guess when they were trying to learn about the guardians in the books they had also discovered all of the information on Frick¡¯s and Tio. So from time to time they would even practice transforming in to: humans, elves, dwarfs, and even eagles.
As soon as we departed we all agreed to play our roles. Frick¡¯s was the one to suggest that he will transform in to an elf and act as if his steering the carriage sitting on the front seat.
I personally think he like the wind in his face. Tio also agreed to act and sat at the rear of the carriage as a bodyguard in a human form. They all wore royalties¡¯ courts attire received from Elder Fin.
That man has prepared a lot for this moment.
As we left the village the Carriage was so light it didn¡¯t even touch the ground.
| Time Stop |
| - In the company of a Time Lord the time has stopped indefinitely until the Time Lord releases the time. |
As soon as we entered the Time Dilation Field everything stopped moving except us.
| Carriage Full Speed towards Azitium Kingdom |
| - The carriage sped up to nearly 260 kilometers per hour.
- At this pace you will reach the Azitium Kingdom in 5 days Real Time.
Note: If you continue to leave the time as is you will arrive there with no time being passed at all. |
Well I thought about going full speed and then slow down right as we entered Azitium Kingdom. It would take us about 1 day to go through the city before we even reached the palace.
As we have traveled for 4 days straight. We ate and slept most of the time. With 4 of us in the carriage it was big enough and confortable enough for us to sleep, without any worry.
Right before we could enter the borders of Azitium Kingdom. We saw fire in a city that was not burning just there because of the Time Stop. We decided to stop and see what was happening. Oh I forgot to say we convinced Vionia not to bring the catapult along or else our speed would be slower.
Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel.
As we entered the little burning village we saw a small army just out side the village.
Shooting fire arrows at the village, luckily they all hid in the sturdiest building.
Since I could support a couple more people to freely enter the Time Dilation field. I took a person who looked like the town elder. As I touched him and said permit him to enter this field. He all of a sudden became alive. To see me standing right there holding his shoulder.
He was lost. He no longer heard any screams or sounds. He could smell the burning particles already in the air. He then said.
Elder Stranger: Have you come to kill me personally?
Salim: No I was on the way to the summit in Azitium Kingdom. When I saw an army attacking this village I decided to help you all. I can¡¯t have everyone come in to this space that we are currently in. As you can see the time has stopped and is not moving in this space. It would be nice if I could take everyone through this space. However I cannot. I can give you refuge in my Kingdom of Trinpik if you would like. It is far from here but well worth it. Since it will be the strongest Empire on this Planet. You will have to leave everything behind if you decide to go. Once you enter the range of my small Kingdom the land will guide you to the village and protect you from any harm.
Elder Stanger: I heard there was a small village there. Although I assumed they were wiped out with the army who was returning decided to pillage this small village.
Salim: It was not even approached by the army. They ran with tails in between their own legs.
Salim: Where are my manners I am called Salim.
Elder Stranger: I am called Boris.
Boris: I will take you up on your offer.
Salim: Great it will take you about 1 year if you walk in that direction. Don¡¯t worry though. We will be returning the same way we came so we will give you a ride then.
What I tell you next is important. When everything unfreezes there won¡¯t be any army pursuing you. They will be unconscious. So you will have to escape with everyone here in a hurry.
Boris: Sir Salim. May I ask you to take a child with you? He lost his parents at a very young age and has no one who will take care of him. Especially during the escape he will be lost if not taken by you now.
Salim: Sure will take him with us to the summit and return with him back to our village.
Boris: I am happy to hear that.
Salim: I have to go now. So the next thing you will notice is waking up as if from a dream with the little child gone. Does he have a name by the way?
Boris: Its Ruben.
Salim: See you soon.
As I expelled the man from the time dilation field I took Ruben without making him enter the dilation field. Since it would most likely be trouble. Laid him down in the carriage. Then the other 3 came back from around the village tying up and knocking them out; every soldier they could find.
The elder did not see the carriage as we talked in the building so we decided to leave. A day later we where getting close to the boarder of the Azitium Kingdom. I released the Time Dilation Field.
The boy Ruben suddenly was stunned to the sudden scenery change. He did not say a word. After Vionia offered him some food he immediately gulped it done. One portion after another, as she began to slightly take care of him. He then said thank you. He also started to ask about his friends and all we could do is tell them they are going to be safe and he will see them soon enough.
He wore a please smile.
As we approached the boarder of the Azitium Kingdom It had huge walls with many gate guards. I realized along the way that the stone used for windows was the same as the Towers ceiling. By taping it turned Black without the ability to see through from the outside. However from the inside we could see everything.
As we approached we could see that the soldiers were stunned to see a carriage not being pulled by anything. It was a fairytale for the soldiers come alive. Then you could hear Frick¡¯s voice saying loudly.
Frick¡¯s: Well open up the gates.
Guard: Everyone needs to be searched. Carriages also.
Frick¡¯s: HOW DARE YOU ADRESS ME IN THAT MANNER. PERHAPS YOU WOULD LIKE TO EXPLAIN TO YOUR EMPEROR WHY YOU HAVE STOPPED A FOREIGN EMPORERS CARRIAGE?
Suddenly many guards appeared out from the walls.
Guard: Captain what shall we do?
Captain: I¡¯ll take care of this.
Captain: Who are you and what kingdom do you hail from?
Frick¡¯s: I don¡¯t feel like explaining my self to a mere Captain! I suggest you open up the gates or else we might be late for the summit. I am sure your Emperor would also kill you if you don¡¯t let us through. Since it was by his request that all Empires come to the summit.
Captain: HURRY UP OPEN THE GATES. I also apologize for acting out of line.
Frick¡¯s: tcccchhhh!!
As soon as we crossed the gates we saw many street stalls. It was still going to take us a full day to get to the palace since now we were going at a snail pace. On the way to the palace we even bough fashionable clothes for Ruben.
Vionia: Ahhh isn¡¯t this too cute we actually look like a family.
Well its kind of true since Ruben was around 5 years old. We did look like a young couple.
The entire way to the palace everyone was in a daze seeing such a carriage make its way through the palace. No one dared to stop us. Since we were headed in a big street leading to the palace. Everyone knew it must be someone important.
The next morning we finally arrived the palace. Here the guards were different. Did not let anyone enter without an invitation. Not to mention Tio caught the scent of his cub coming from within the palace. Tio yelled at the guards. Apparently he¡¯s roar never disappeared since he mastered it.
Tio: GET OUT OF THE WAY! BEFORE I SHRED YOU TO PIECES. DON¡¯T YOU KNOW YOU HAVE STOPPED AN EMPORER FROM TRINPIK?
As he yelled the guards became like statues. Not able to speak or move. Soon we heard the sound. OPEN the gates for the Prince Eliot of Azitium Kingdom.
There was a well-dressed man sitting on a white horse coming from within the palace.
Prince Elliot: I apologize dear honored guest for our guard¡¯s rudeness. They will be disciplined at a later time. Please follow me.
The guards stepped aside still dazed from the Yell.
As we approached the main castle that was accompanied by a tall building that had to be the Wizards Tower.
As we came to the stairs.
Frick''s: Is this where we can leave our carriage? Since no one will be able to move it once the Emperor and Empress step out side of it.
Prince Elliot: Yes this should be fine. No one will be able to complain if they have to go around.
Frick''s: Very well.
He then got of the seat and tapped on the door. Then Vionia, Ruben and me came out of the Carriage.
Salim: So we have finally arrived.
Vionia: I wonder what kinda clothes they sell near by.
Ruben just stood there silently.
Salim: Well Frick''s you can do anything you like. Just be back when the summit is over. Tio may I ask you to look after Ruben. Don''t let him out of your sight. Me and the Empress will be just fine. Oh and Ruben go see if you can find an animal to play with.
Rube: Can I? Really?
Salim: Yes!
Authors Note: I wonder will they find someone who Tio is looking for?

volume 2 Ch. 5 Humiliation of Zarr
The prince stopped at the front double doors.
Prince Elliot: There is a requirement to enter your personal level and a title, before interring. It is also going to be used to group you if you decide to enter a small competition we have here.
Salim: Show only level to the prince & secondary Title.
| Second Title & Level Share Screen |
| Level 5
Emperor of Trinpik |
Vionia: Share my Level & third Title.
| Third Title & Level Share Screen |
| Level 1
Empress of Tanis |
Prince Elliot: Let me formally welcome you two World Leaders. Do you mind if I ask why you came together if you two are from different Empires?
Vionia: We are of the same alliance and traveled in the same direction. So we decided to enjoy each other¡¯s company.
Salim: Khmmmmm. Can we proceed? You also mention a small competition.
Prince Elliot: Ah yes although may advise you not to enter with such a low level. It would be to compete in a small match and a reward is a Legendary Cub.
Salim: Agh. I see.
Vionia: I will enter on behalf of Ruben. Is that acceptable?
Prince Elliot: That is! Just a tip though, we have many mighty adventures competing in this. They are honored guest with at least a title of ¡°Lords ¡° who are part of our Azitium Empire. Their levels are around 100-140 and there are about 15 of them. They will pair you with the lowest level. If you win you will compete against tougher opponents. Shouldn¡¯t you reconsider?
Salim: She won¡¯t I know that much. I can tell you a title of an Emperor or Empress should not be regarded as nothing even at level one. I heard many people refer to it as a Kingdom of Azitium? So which one is it?
Prince Elliot: I cannot object a Emperor or Empress. So be it as you wish. It was a Kingdom before, however as of last year the vastness of land controlled is now considered to be an Empire.
Salim: How much land is that?
Prince Elliot: Around 420 Kilometers around the palace. Well then lets proceed. I have entered Empress Vionia in to the tournament as well.
Prince Elliot: The competition will begin as soon as all the leaders are seated in the conference hall designed for this occasion. There are seated in a circle around the competition arena. The competition is simple either make your opponent either submit or step out of the battle circle.
Salim: Very well. Now what do we do?
Prince Elliot: I don¡¯t know if you received the secondary letters that pushed the summit to start right now actually and probably has already started. Everyone is here already you where the last to arrive. Let us proceed to the summit hall immediately.
As we entered to what seemed like a dance hall for grand parties that was now reconfigured in to a summit hall with a battle circle in the middle. We could hear the speaker inside already doing the introduction who was explaining the summit to all whom where present. The door guard approached by the prince whispered who whispered in his ear say our names to him.
Prince Elliot: This as far as I can guide you. Beyond this point only Leaders of different nations, kingdom, and empires are allowed to enter.
The guard opened the double doors and with his heavy stomped at the ground. Said in a loud voice so that the entire Summit of Leaders could hear it. This even interrupted the introductory speaker.
Elite Guard: NOW PRESENTING EMPORER OF TRINPIK AND EMPRESS OF TANIS.
Whispers could be heard between everyone present.
Elite Guard: Servants please bring 2 addition chairs and a table.
The servant¡¯s ran around quickly and within seconds everything was prepared. A separate round table was placed around the big arena at the center. The speaker was on a podium in the center of the battle arena. The guard left with the servants closing the door behind him.
As the host who was doing introductions had now continued with his welcome speech. The servants brought out huge meals to each table that had about 2-3 people at each table.
Host: We should not continue any further discussions on empty stomach let us enjoy and converse a little. We will do individual introductions afterwards. After that we will hold a small tournament. At the end of that we will vote on certain matters.
We ate the nice meals in front of us that were very delicious like I have never eaten before.
As we where eating different rulers started their introductions in a hurry to get to the tournament, where they can show a glimpse of their power.
There were roughly 21 rulers present. The rulers boasted about their kingdom either by mentioning that they had one of the 7 towers or mentioned their supremacy through military strength. It seems that everyone received the Global Message that a Tallest Tower was built. They¡¯re where roughly 8 kingdoms or empires that did not mention on introduce them selves as eagerly as the previous ones. It seems that the ones with rapid introductions seemed to be all Players and not NPC¡¯s. I calculated that there was roughly7 (including our 2 that didn¡¯t really exist yet.) Player owned empires/kingdoms and the other 14 belonged to NPC¡¯s. There was a clear difference in size of the Kingdoms/ Empires. Player one¡¯s where small while NPC one¡¯s where on a totally new level in the size and military strengths. One could say most with exception of 4 player owned empires/ kingdoms that could survive constant attacks. Vionia and mine were one of them because of the tower. The other player hasn¡¯t introduced him self.
It seems the Azitium Empires Emperor wanted to see one of the lords mention whom the Seventh Tower belonged to. However the 8 that sat silently decided to not say in hopes that it was not revealed in order to avoid being threatened by the major powers. It seems that I read the situation correctly and decided not to say much.
After the Azitium Emperor introduced himself. He then went around the circle asking for introductions from the people who did not introduce themselves just yet.
Although the introductions now just consisted of Title, Level and Name. It was left at that. You could tell everyone ruled us out immediately.
One of the players even spoke out. That we two should just leave. Since after this summit he was going to come conquer our little Empires. We sat silently. It was a clear aggressive stance before us. Our facials expressions remained that of NPC¡¯s. So he though we were NPC¡¯s and didn¡¯t press the issue to kick us out.
Host: It has come time to announce the little tournament. We have held preliminaries outside as we were enjoying the little chats and food provided. The four exemptions that entered this tournament are King Alex of Alexandria Kingdom Level 110, Empress Vionia of Tanis LVL1, King Zarr of Gar Kingdom LVL 175, and finally Emperor Vin of the Glacier Empire LVL 15. These three were exempt from preliminaries due to their Title privileges.
Zarr was the one who told us to leave the summit.
Vin was one that remained quiet all this time. Who also only introduced his: name, empire, and level.
Zarr being high and mighty stood up and said we should conduct a preliminary match privately for the Leaders.
Salim: If that¡¯s the case lets also vote that 2 winners from the leaders won¡¯t have fight in the competition tree and will join in the semifinals.
Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.
No one objected and everyone unanimously agreed.
Host: Well since the preliminaries have finished out side lets us conduct the closed-door match between the 4 Rulers.
They drew lots and it ended up that Zarr vs. Vionia and Alex vs.Vin. Zarr & Vionia would start off.
I whispered in Vionia¡¯s ear. Since I am present here you may use Time Dilation as long as you want.
As they got in to the rink Zarr he continuously said things like ¡°This is way to easy. A LVL 175 against a LVL 1 is just unfair for the LVL 1. HA HA HA HA
Host: Ready! Set! Begin!
Vionia whispered: Time Dilation Field.
As you could guess everything stopped. She took her sweet time and since she wanted to pay him back for the insults by completely embarrass him. She didn¡¯t feel like fighting him in her elegant clothes. Striped him down to just his undergarments. She pushed him out of the circle. Took his expensive armor and after a while long time of shredded it to pieces through it at him. So they fell around him as if he was attacked not leaving a scar on him but having his armor shredded in such a manner that looked like an extreme skill.
Then she went back to her original position and said release time.
The next few seconds everyone was paralyzed and stood up immediately to see why was Zarr lying on the ground with shredded armor around him.
Vionia: It seems I am the winner.
Zarr: I don¡¯t know what you did but I won¡¯t let you off unscarred.
Salim: I suggest you take the failure as a man and admit defeat. If you try to do anything more I will make you regret even more for the insults that you directed at us from the beginning.
Host: Vionia is in the rink and you are out of the rink after I announced it therefore you are out.
Zarr: Shut up. I don¡¯t care about the tournament I want revenge. No one better try stopping me, or you will be sorry.
As he charged at Vionia I used the apple that was on my plate and tossed it at him with inertial turning. Making the apple collide with him in the chest. That attack sent him flying to the other side of the hall. Were he crashed in full force against the wall.
He nearly died from that. Since all of his stats combined he was able to survive that one attack with only 5% of his health left that appeared above him for everyone to see.
The entire summit was so silent that you could hear a fly I the northwest corner flying around which also ceased to exists with a grape toss from my hand.
Salim: I think we have one more round to enjoy. Let us continue shall we?
Emperor of Azitium: Yes lets continue.
The servants took Zarr out to get him some medical help and give him some clothes to cover up. Since the Apple toss shredded his remaining clothing.
As the second battle started it was clear to see that the Vin LVL15 had the upper hand the entire time. So Alex who realized that submitted and recognized Vin as the winner.
Alex: I can now see that level doesn¡¯t measure Emperors or Empresses true strength. I therefore admit defeat.
Host: This is an unexpected outcome. I¡¯ve never seen such an event were LVL¡¯s meant nothing.
As Zarr came back he announced: I apologize for my earlier behavior.
Vionia: Apology accepted.
Host: Now then since we did not announce the prize yet let us show you.
The brought it a sturdy cage that held a bear cub now the size of a dog. It seems bears do grow slower then Frick¡¯s perhaps its all the training or lack of it.
Vionia and I looked at each other.
Host: We will now allow the spectators to enter and stand behind their represented kingdoms/ empires.
Tio and Ruben entered and stood behind our table. Tio whispered.
Tio: That is my cub.
Vionia: Tio don¡¯t worry will get him back; don¡¯t do anything rash until then. We don¡¯t want everyone here to go against us. I actually want to see everyone fight.
The battles started since there where not many people competing in this exclusive event. Even after the semifinals there now stood two people.
Emperor Vin vs. Empress Vionia
The battle was really over right after it began. Since we had no grudge against him. Vionia was only able to call out Time Dilation. When she saw him standing right in front of him. His reaction was much faster then anyone we have ever seen. So we assumed his charge slowed down time as well. She walked behind him and slightly pushed him in the direction of the ground out side the rink. The momentum would do the rest. As she released the time he did not hit the ground and used air steps to run back in to the rink. Vionia immediately stopped time again. He was again in front of her almost to hitting her. Well this time around I asked her to leave a note in his pocket. As I handed her the letter, since she didn¡¯t want to step down from the rink. After placing the letter in his inside pocket. She ripped of one of his sleeves and this time tied his legs together. She pushed him so hard that now he was literally a few centimeters of the ground outside the rink. He really was like a falling person suspended in the air.
After releasing the time. He crashed into the ground outside the rink.
Vin: I have never seen anyone faster then me. It seems I was wrong. I have been defeated.
Prince Elliot shouted out: we cannot have some stranger take our pride and possession.
Salim: It was never yours to begin with. You stole it from the Birk¡¯s Mountain Range that is under the control of My Trinpik Empire. So that makes you the aggressors. I suggest instead of an apology you just hand over the little cub. Since its mother is restless to get it back. Tio who is its caretaker was not around when you took the cub and had no opportunity to warn you not to take it. Therefore we made this large journey to retrieve a member of my Empire.
Prince Elliot: There were no boarders to suggest your claim.
Vionia: Our boarders don¡¯t need walls to keep people out. Since everyone is welcome. Are you not going to hand over the price I have won?
Prince Elliot: FATHER!!!!
Emperor of Azitium: SILENCE!!!! THE WINNER IS DETERMINED! PLEASE GIVE THE KEY AND CAGED CUB TO THEM IMMEDIATELY.
As they handed the cub that until now was fighting the cage stopped and looked at Vionia then at Tio.
Prince Elliot: I suggest you don¡¯t release it here so that it doesn¡¯t cause a ruckus in the palace.
Vionia opened the cage and let the cub out who ran and was picked up by Tio.
Everyone realized that it was there was truth in what they said. No one said anything else.
Host: Now will the rulers follow me please! Since the contestant will be treated to food. We will take you to another room so that you may discuss the main topic of this Summit.
We all stood up and left. Leaving Tio and Ruben with the new cub at the table to eat.

volume 2 Ch. 6 15,000,000 gold
The Host was not permitted to attend the major event. That was the conversation between the leaders.
Emperor of Azitium: Lets get to the point. There are too many small villages spurring up. I don¡¯t like that they are trying to break up bigger cities. They follow little standards thus providing an increase in crime. I wanted us to draw up a map and divide it in to sections. To establish which Kingdom/ Empire will be in charge of what section. This will give us an idea how far apart each kingdom/ empire is. Roughly one year ago there were only 10 big cities and now there are many big villages/ cities.
Emperor of Azitium: Let¡¯s examine this map I had my cartographers put together. It¡¯s not complete and marks the only cities we know of. Emperor Salim we are not aware where you¡¯re Trinpik Empire is or where Empresses Vionia¡¯s Empire of Tanos is.
Click on picture to see a bigger and better one!
Vionia: I have no intent to disclose where my Kingdom is located.
Salim: I too am not ready to reveal that. Since I really don¡¯t know your to intentions Emperor.
Salim: To be frank. I would like to as you the Emperor of Azitium why your troops were destroying a town on the boarders of your country? I saw it myself. Since I was also the one to stop them form killing the civilians.
Emperor of Azitium: Those soldiers will be punished to the full extant.
Salim: Where were they coming from?
Emperor of Azitium: There is an Exiled prince from this Empire. Since he was plotting to assassinate me we dispatched soldiers to take care of the problem from the root.
Salim: How do you know he was after you?
Emperor of Azitium: The assassins guild brought the agreement that was signed by the exiled prince. I didn¡¯t believe them at first however they had a convincing story. So I paid them for the information.
Salim: I see. So the assassin¡¯s guild sold you false information for the reward money.
Emperor of Azitium: How dare you talk bad about my friend?
Salim: Or perhaps you are just blaming so called the assassins guild to get away with sending the army. You know I don¡¯t have the right to judge you. I don¡¯t blame you either. However if I ever see another village destroyed by your army. I won¡¯t hesitate to make war with you.
Vin: Everyone please take a moment of silence and listen to me. Truth is told no one here is going to trust anyone else here. So lets set that aside. We have gathered here perhaps of a different reason the Emperor hasn¡¯t told us about just yet.
Salim: Very well, I withdraw my accusations. Please proceed Emperor.
Emperor of Azitium: The main thing is we are trying to solve the current rising cities within the vicinity of Towers Influence even beyond the reach or towers. I am trying a new method rather then what my ancestors did. That was to conquer.
Zarr: Do you really think we would hand over our kingdoms or empires just because you ask?
Alex: I will be willing to become part of Azitium for a hefty price.
Emperor of Azitium: I am able to give hundreds of thousands of gold. There is one small detail. My first priority of business would be to seize the new built Tower. It is said that the exiled prince built north of Azitium.
Alex: My price to join your Empire and your crusade is 1,000,000 gold.
Emperor of Azitium: Done!
Salim: May interrupt your little engagement. I would like you to know the Tallest Tower belongs to my Kingdom. I know of the exiled Prince as well. I let their village join my Empire, so in return for them joining my Empire I built them a small tower.
Emperor of Azitium: Whaaaaat? GUARDS!! GUARDS!! SIEZE EMPEROR SALIM.
As the elite guards ran in they grabbed me and held me there.
Vin: Wait!!! Now I have seen your true intentions.
Emperor of Azitium: Guards don¡¯t let him go. We still have questions for him.
Emperor of Fen: Salim I would like to see what you have to say.
Salim: Everyone before they take me away. Now is the only time I will give you the choice to choose a side. What will you choose?
Alex: I am already part of Azitium. So yep I go with them.
King of Katik: Azitium
King of Tuni: Azitium
Zarr: I wish to stay neutral but as you heard the other way is force. Might as well get some money. Azitium
Emporer of Zital: Through out the ages we were and always will be neutral.
Emperor of Betok: Neutral
King of Alem: I will join Betok.
King of Tett: Then I will join Ginba.
King of Zif: I too with Ginba.
Emperor of Ginba: Neutral
King of Drikas: I with Fen.
King of Kesuni: I with Zenith
King of Pilanok: I will remain neutral.
Emperor Vin: I with Salim:
Empress Vionia: I too with Salim:
Salim: May I ask why you are arresting me Emperor of Azitium?
Emperor of Azitium: You saved me the trouble of finding you. Can¡¯t you see this was my plan all along?
Salim: Yes I did know. Thus is what I proclaim. Since you allowed your self as to disrespect me in front of the other leaders. My empire is now in war with yours.
Emperor of Azitium: Ha ha ha ha. Ill have your empire pay ransom for you before I destroy it, although you¡¯re actually going to die here. GIVE ME A SWORD! I will take his life here and now.
Vionia: Ignorant Emperor. If I were you I would be pleading for forgiveness right about now.
Emperor of Azitium: Do you really think my tower that listens to me wont be able to take care of him?
Vionia: I know it won¡¯t be able to do anything to him. Vin suggest you just watch and don¡¯t do anything hassle worth.
Elite Guard: Here is your sword.
Emperor of Azitium: Do you have any last words?
Salim: Get on with it the suspense is killing me.
Emperor of Azitium: Diiiieeeeeee
The sword was just an inch near his neck.
Salim: Time Stop.
Everyone has stopped.
Vin couldn¡¯t sit still he was about one foot away trying to stop the emperor.
I turned Vin around since his charge was so intense that there was no way to stop him other then redirect him once the time was release.
Salim: Vin and Vionia may enter this field.
Vin¡¯s sword impaled in to the wall, Vionia was now laughing at Vin. As Vin turned around he only saw Vionia moving and Salim.
Vin: Why are they all frozen?
Salim: Let me reintroduce my self. My name is Salim I am building an Empire of Trinpik. Currently we have only one village. The village that now has the tallest Wizards Tower. Emperor is my secondary title my primary one is Time Lord.
Vin: Are you an NPC? How did you get such a title?
Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
Salim: No I am not an NPC. How I got this title is a secret.
Vin: Oh. So it¡¯s a Wizards Tower. I know there are a few but the other ones are like Ranger Towers since they have wind affinities.
Salim: Don¡¯t compare those towers with Trinpik Wizards Tower. It has 4 affinities. So I am sure that it will be no easy task for any empire of alliance to merely destroy it.
Vin: It is still possible as long as they protect their armies with the elemental affinity wizards.
Salim: Yes but they will still have to go through me.
Vin: So how long does this space last?
Salim: Until I release it. Now your turn, tells us about you?
Vin: We are in process of building 4 towers however stuck at 60 meters. We are a player town. Will not bow down before any king or emperor. I received the title after I made a group of the newly arrived adventurers. We improved the town so much that the elder asked me to become a king. Not long after more people started to find refuge within the wall we built. Since Players didn¡¯t completely die they felt obligated to protect the villagers. Thus the villagers and elder recognized me as an Emperor due to my influence with players. We are currently looking for guardian in order to get permission to continue building the towers. 4 towers = 4 affinities that will protect the village. The elder said that the small onyx stones we have will be weak and only support a limited range with only one affinity each. That¡¯s why we built 4 towers.
Salim: Well now that introductions are over. I was thinking that I would not humiliate the emperor the same way I humiliated Zarr. However I believe 5,000,000 gold for each one of us will suffice.
Vin: Do you know how heavy that is? Even I with 200 points in STR will not lift 1/5 of that.
Salim: Na I am not planning to carry it. Vionia shall we proceed?
Salim: Tio, Tios Cub, Frick¡¯s, Ruben authorized. TIO AND FRICK¡¯S COME HERE!
Vin was standing watching what was happening. As the four walked in they knew exactly what was happening other then the Cub and Ruben.
Tio: Have I told you my cub¡¯s name? It¡¯s Zet.
Salim: Anyone know where the vault is?
Tio: I believe I know where it is. There was one place that was extremely guarded during this time. It must be there.
Salim: Vionia will you please bring the carriage inside all the way to the vault will move everyone out of the way for you in the mean time.
Vionia: Sure thing.
Vin: How is she going to bring the carriage inside? Doesn¡¯t this place have like a lot of steps?
Salim: She can carry it here or perhaps even sit in it and fly it here.
Vin: Fly?
Salim: Well we haven¡¯t tried anything like that. However I am sure its possible. Well then lets get going.
We located the vault quite quickly. Then moved the guards out of the way and even locked some in rooms. We took the Emperor of Azitium and placed him in his room. Swinging his sword towards his bed. After hours of smashing the doors we found it hopeless to strike at them even with all of our combined strength. So we all went around the castle to see if we could find something that would be strong enough to open the doors. In one of the castle rooms we found a training rooms. Heavy dumbbells all around the room and one of them caught my eye. It looked like the smallest of them all yet I could not lift it up. I then realized that they were gravity stones. That would only listen to the one who infused them, since I was sure no one else had the gravity affinity in this generation. The way they laid near the corner of the room. Have long been forgotten even had dust on them. It was two circles connected with what looked like a titanium pole. Since the owner was probably long dead and I had a gravity affinity maybe they would react with my affinity. After first trying to pick them up I was unable to move it.
Salim: Negative ? gravity.
That¡¯s when they began to float up. I then quickly adjusted them to the appropriate weight so they don¡¯t fly off in to space. I brought them to the door put it between the window bars that barely had space. These little stones were only about 5 cm each. So after putting one small ballpoint on one side and then the other on the other side.
Salim: X10 gravity
The door stood.
Salim: X40 gravity
The door squeaked.
Salim: X100 gravity
The door was smashed in to the ground. I then immediately said: X1 gravity and lifted it and put it in to my pocket. Perhaps I can do something with this.
The invincible door that was smashed in to the ground looked week. Since I remembered how though it was I also decided to take it with me.
Not long after everyone ran up saying what happened and how I opened it. Even Vionia with the carriage came in carrying it with one hand.
Salim: Where were you all this time?
Vionia: Sightseeing around the castle while flying on the carriage.
Vin: Whattt? How are you holding the entire carriage with one arm?
Vionia: Oh this I¡¯m holding it so it doesn¡¯t fly away. It has what called gravity stones. We don¡¯t know how much it can manipulate but it really handy.
Vin: I can see that.
Salim: lets load the entire carriage with the treasure that should be enough as an apology from the Emperor who tried to kill me. Ill even not hold a grudge against him.
Roughly 15,000,000 gold fitted in to the carriage, an unknown metal door. One large chest that we had no Idea what was inside but it was the best crafted in the room. Finally we took a couple sets of amazing clothes. A letter addressed to the youngest prince. Since I knew Fin I knew he would want to read it.
To bad we couldn¡¯t take more. With the current wealth it was good enough for us. The vault was still 7/8 full. We just said we could come back and get some more whenever we really needed it. So let them guard it for us in the mean time.
That¡¯s how we left. I did not plan on releasing the Time until we caught up with the villagers that headed towards Trinpik.
Salim: Vin did you come here by your self?
Vin: Yes. Since my respawn point is still in my village I knew if I died, I at least would not have to walk all the way back.
Vionia: Smart thinking just like a player.

As we were walking out the front gates, Vionia reminded me that there were many villagers we promised a ride for, she then said that the king might want to go on a pursuit after we release the time.
Vin: You said you promised villagers a ride? Then why not take the wagons that belong to Azitium. Let¡¯s not touch the other Emperors carriages since we don¡¯t want to make them our enemy.
Salim: That¡¯s a great Idea.
I could currently support only 10 beings including me in the Time Dilation. So I asked that Tio, Frick¡¯s, Zet and Ruben sit on the wagon since I was going to take them out of the Time Dilation field. After they sat I did just as I said. Now there where 3 people and so we could support at least 7 horses. After rounding up 6 horses we connected them to the wagons, two horses per wagon and we led them out side the Palace. I then got the idea that I should take all of the wagons and horses. Talk about being greedy. Just how was I supposed to do that though?
I continued to expel them form time dilation. The horses that now were lined up one after another. The three of us where able to get nearly 24 horses that where now connected to 12 wagons that we found. Now comes the most interesting part.
I then brought everyone in on my plan. I was going release the time and we where going to try to ride out of town before the Emperors realized what has happened.
Since we were just out side the gates now. I even closed the gates then scaled the walls using their tall ladders.
Salim: Time Release.
You could hear a lot of shouts coming from the palace. I know the Emperors surprise would not end there. It was going to be even better when he discovers the vault open. I only had a grin the entire time we were leaving. Laughing loudly. I also forgot to mention that after loading the entire carriage with gold and other treasures. It was so heavy that even the gravity stones could no longer make it float. Instead it was so heavy that it left tracks in the ground. Even the ground affinity onyx stones made little blocks that pushed the carriage behind the wheels. Didn¡¯t use wind since it blew everything that was around us. It also would mess up my hair so I didn¡¯t bother.
Looking back on the stairs of the palace they had long lines that smashed the stairs to make a ramp down wards. From that momentum alone the carriage sped up. Don¡¯t know why but it took them around 4 hours to sound the alarm to shut all the gates.
It seems only during the shift change did they discover that all guards where tightly locked away in walls and rooms barricaded with stones.
After getting away from the palace around 80 kilometers but still within the range of the tower, nearly 10 kilometers to go so that we would be out of the range of the tower. That¡¯s when we saw many fireballs coming towards us from every place that had a fire going. It seems the Tower¡¯s one of the affinity is a Fire affinity.
Seems the Emperor himself could not control the tower directly. He probably had to go see the main Wizard. So that he can alter some rules to the tower in order to pursue us the thieves. Even though I took it as payment for insults so technically we did not steal anything.
However our money carriage that was the last in line, was no ordinary carriage either. It had every type of affinity I knew of as of now. So the water lashed out to conquer the fire, although that did not stop the fireballs. It seems the Towers second affinity was water.
That did not stop me. I then told the Carriage to exert as much wind affinity as it could up wards making a wind wall as the wagons in front continued on. The fireballs that hit the wind wall increased the Fireballs size 10 fold. Now the direction of the fire balls when skyward. With their constant increasing in size the little onyx stones could only do so much.
Since it seemed the wagons left the towers range now. I redirected the flow of wind to propel the carriage forward as we sped away. I wanted conduct a little experiment to see if the fireballs would still go in a straight line after us as soon as towers control over them would seize. However as soon as we where out of the range to my surprise the fireball was still chasing us. It now hovered above the carriage being controlled by the carriage. I thought it would be a perfect ball of light during the approaching night or if we have to bust the gates open to avoid the hassle of opening them our selves. After a while since no new fire was added to the fireball above us it dispensed in the air.
At this time we entered the Central Market place and decide to stop with the wagons and buy up supplies.
Merchant Player: "Selling a god slaying sword for only five thousand gold" said some random merchant.
Salim: "No thanks I have an apple."
Merchant: "..."
Vionia: *Hits Salim in the head* "YOUR MAKING US SEEM LIKE MONSTERS!"
Salim * [th_093.gif] * *mutters* "We kinda are..."
We bought: 1 wagon full with food, 1 wagon full of different fabrics and leathers. 4 wagons full of ore, 1 wagon full of books and writing utensils, 1 wagon full of hay, 1 wagon of crafting tools and smiting tools, 1 wagon full of farming equipment and other 2 wagons were empty left to carry young and weak people, so we bough a few big furs to lie on the floor of the wagon.
We where now done in the Market square ready to leave. We had roughly used up 5,000 gold. The most expensive were used to buy rare metals, and ancient books.
| Skill Acquired Merchant
- Will higher level will be able to receive goods at a lower price.
- Will be able to sell goods at a higher price.
- Can open a store. |
By this time we heard a loud commotion approaching the Market Square. It was the Emperor with his knights.
Azitium Emperor: I don¡¯t know how you were able to get this far.
As he looked over and saw my carriage he was in rage!
Azitium Emperor: You being able to afford such a carriage and even at that stole from me? Why?
Salim: I took money for all the insult and for the attempt on my life.
Azitium Emperor: I wont let you get away. You will die for this. KILL THEM ALL
EMPEROR=
Salim: I forgave you. If you make any more attempt on my companions or me. I will pronounce war against you and your Empire and bring shame upon your Royalty Reputation. So choose.
Azitium Emperor: I have heard enough insults from you. Kill them all.
As the guards started to rush us, I once again stopped time. We round everyone up and striped them all naked.
Vionia: Ahh they look all so lovely with hearts shining in their eyes
Salim: Actually is more like this.
Vin: I think it''s more like this. This is what they want to do to us.
Vin, Salim & Vionia: Ha ha ha ha
Salim:
Vin:
Vionia:
Took all their armor in the process and their horses. The near by wagons were now taken and pulled by the newly arrived horses that wore padded armor that I though was pretty cool.
I then loaded all of their clothes and armor on the wagons. We now had 3 additional wagons. With around 2-3 horses tied to the back of each wagon. I stopped counting them, due to the shear number.
I took almost all the rope I found in the merchants shop leaving him 10 gold pieces. Tied up all of the king¡¯s escorts around the stone pillars in the Merchants Square. The Emperor was tied to the most middle part of the square where there were the most amount of people. Even shut his mouth to prevent him from yelling.
Then released the time and moved forward to the outside walls.
When we reached the gates they were locked and barricaded by the stone blocks. I was amazed at what I saw.
Vin: This is going to take a while I assume.
Salim: I have a feeling our Timeless Inventor was already making something this entire time ever since the market.
Vionia: HA ha ha. You know me, too well now. Yep I have made an explosive. Don¡¯t know how good it is but lets see.
Salim: Don¡¯t quite use them let me test my strength that I have not yet tested fully. Vin go hit the stone head on with all of your strength and what your strength Stat at?
Vin: Sure let me try I to am interested. Oh it at 878 currently.
As Vin hit the boulders and stones that barricaded the gates. In the time Dilation field out of 10 stones 4 Shattered.
Then I came and hit the remaining boulders that destroyed the remaining cracked stones and even sent the gates flying out. After releasing the time all the soldiers present were petrified from what they saw. The gate and the boulders were broken to little bits and the gates split in several part laid around 30 meters from the gate.
Vin: My my my. It seems I really did underestimate you¡¯re power. How long did you train?
Salim: I trained nearly 1.5 years without stopping and Vionia about a year.
Vin: Snap. That¡¯s powerful and shows dedications but why? :;^^:
Salim: Just because I want too.
Vin: What a great reason. NOT!!!
Vionia: Ahh don¡¯t listen to him. He has no memories from before entering the VR. So he is trying to solve everything from scratch.
Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.
Vin: I hear that many players that were the first to come here have no memories at all of their previous or real life.
Then I remembered I forgot the most important thing back at the palace. There was no way I was leaving without it either. I then permitted Vionia to create her own Time Dilation. Since I was going back to the palace. I really needed to get the one important thing I forgot. I then decided to stretch my feet and ran.
With my Phantom Running I ran so quickly it took me only 1 hour to get to the palace. I even passed the Emperor on the way back to his palace.
The gates were sealed but since I could use phantom running I ran over them and entered the meeting room where we gathered for the main discussion. I then released time. Everyone in the room was stunned again at seeing me.
Salim: I will give each one of you a warning before I leave. If any of you ever, and I mean ever attack an innocent village ever again. I will take away their positions as rulers over their land and people. By any means necessary.
I then approached the table and rolled up the map.
[th_096_K.gif]
Emperor of Fen: We would like a copy of that map.
Salim: Then send an envoy to Trinpik Wizard Tower that is located about 300-400 kilometers north. It isn¡¯t an easy journey since the mountains start on the out skirts of the mountains. The village is near the Birk¡¯s Mountain Range. I suggest you send no more then 5 people or else the tower will recognize you as a threat and remove you. It takes nearly 4 months just traveling through the mountains constantly moving.
Emperor of Fen: I will send someone as soon as I get back to my Kingdom.
Salim: By the way so everyone knows. The Emperor of Azitium had to pay dearly for his insults and attempt on my life. I spared his life. We took more then 15,000,000 gold for his attempt on my life. So don¡¯t think for a second that each attempt that any of you try will cost you any less.
I then initiated Time Stop and ran to catch up with everyone else. Passing the market again I stopped and got the materials necessary to make many maps from. The merchant approached me and called me in to the back room.
Merchant: I would like to thank you for embarrassing the Emperor the way you did. It surely though him what it feels like to be humiliated. I understand you¡¯re an Emperor from the north right?
Salim: That is correct.
Merchant: Please call me Fill. I would like to make a business proposal. Since I have special permission as a Merchant I can use the Wizards Tower here to trade good with other Towers. Does your Empire have a Tower?
Salim: Yes it does. So let me guess a secret trade agreement? Correct?
Merchant Fill: Yes. Since I am a merchant I can use the teleportation portal to send items to anywhere I like. No one can see where an I them was sent to other then me. So we could trade. All you need to do is use this small chest to send the list of what you need. Please don¡¯t label anything that comes from your tower or else I would be found out.
Salim: Ok that easy enough. Our Wizard will be in charge of teleporting things so its ok if he knows. I trust him and he wont cause you trouble.
| You have received a small chest. |
Salim: I would like to order something now. For this agreement you have to agree to do something. You will buy every single DragonStones or better quality stones no matter the price and sell it to me exclusively.
Merchant Fill: You do know a small dragon stone goes for 1,000 gold. I currently have 10 would you like them?
Salim: Yes. I wont be able to pay you until I get back to my Empire. However I can promise I will pay you.
Merchant Fill: I saw that you kept your word when you threatened the Emperor so I know you will keep this one. I will send them via teleportation tower. I can also send all those papers you have that you bought from me for map making. What the name of the Tower I am to teleport these too?
Salim: Perfect. Its called Trinpik Wizards Tower. I will keep the map and one roll of map-making paper as well as some ink. Everything else please teleport them away. I will reimburse you on the cost of teleporting goods.
Merchant Fill: Since this is a secret agreement there will not be a paper trail. So I have your word and you have mine.
Salim: Thanks and take care.
Merchant Fill: Oh right there is one more thing. I have this old map. I have no use for it. It has been collecting dust for the past 10 generations in our family. I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s any good. Many adventures went to the place marked on this map however the only thing they found where big mountains and more mountains. So I don¡¯t know what is so important about this. However every time it was passed on the elders would say that the appropriate person would understand the meaning of these maps and the things found in there. They always repeated 4-5 times ¡°It takes gravity to reject gravity. A city rejected by gravity would be the most protected city in the entire world.¡±
Salim: This already makes sense. Thank you. I can say now for certain. I know where I should build the Capital of Trinpik Empire. Are there perhaps more of these maps.
Merchant Fill: Let me take a look. Ah there is one similar to this, much newer but in a different location. However the person who brought this same that he saw the two place and both were alike. However he could do nothing other then stare at everything that happened. Not sure what happened though.
Salim: I thank you I too will take this and I will pay you extremely well for these two maps. I can say for certain I will give you 10,000 gold for each. Since I know that these maps is just what I need.
I then did time stop and ran again after the carriage. It took me 3 hours to catch up. They now at the outskirts of the burning village we passed by. I after catching up to them told everyone to slow down. Since no one was pursuing us.
I than sat in one of the wagon that was empty rolled out the current map and started to copy it to another map. I even added things to the map such as mountains that I knew about. The path we took to get to our destination. Since it wasn¡¯t exactly a straight line since the wagons could not go over: boulders, ravines and dense forests.

Two days latter we caught up with the group of villagers. At first they were hiding in the tree line. However when Tio mentioned that he sense some people in the woods. I told everyone to stop. When the kids saw Ruben they yelled out to him and he ran in to the woods. After that the Elder with everyone else came out. All worn out, starving and very tired.
Boris the Elder: Sir Salim. I am glad you are safe.
Salim: Elder Boris please call me by my name only. We have food, clothes and many wagons that should be able to fit all of you in there. It seems that the Emperor was not a good man. He tried killing us a few times. Even though he physically was not able to touch us we punished him in a few way. So he might even come after my Empire with war. So I would like your people to choose. They may take anything they would like and either leave us or join us. It is their choice.
Boris: They have already decided to follow the one who saved them.
Salim: Then eat, get dressed and make your selves as comfortable as possible since it will take us nearly 4 months from here on out to get to our empire. I will be leaving roughly in a day with one other person. However I will leave you my most trusted people. They will take you all the way to the village. The Village elder is smart and will think of something.
Boris: I can¡¯t portray out gratitude for such hospitality and for all your help. Thank You.
Salim: Now, now elder. The journey is not at the end. So please speak to your people and organize the distribution of the essentials and food. You may use all the fabrics to cover yourselves in the wagons for warmth during night travels since we will not be stopping. There are enough food to last us the entire trip. If something the people I leave behind will catch more food so you will have to cook it since none of them know how to.
Boris: That is easy enough. I shall go then.
The next two days went by quick. The color returned to the faces of the villagers and they all became more lively especially the kids. We only stopped to let the horses rest and then just switched them off with the ones walking behind each wagon. I didn¡¯t realize that it turned out great to have extra horses not pulling anything to be such a big help. However it was true they were a big help.

Volume 2 Ch.8 2 Meter Flower Stone
Two days later when I finished copying the map. I was debating if I should start looking for the newly acquired city or perhaps prepare more. I then decided it would be better to continue enjoy the peaceful convoy especially when surrounded by such soft fabrics and read the books we acquired. Now my goal was to finish reading all of them. So I created a Time Dilation field around only me not to stop time but to slow down time to 1 day = 3 days. I made it so that even though it would take us 4 months to get to the village it would take me 1 whole year.

At central Azitium Market. I bought a book for identifying things. After reading it since it was the first book I read not only did I get the Reading Skill but also Deciphering Skill and regained my Identification Skill. That¡¯s what made me make up my mind to read them all.

Intelligence increased roughly 270 Stat points. Wisdom increased by 330 Stat points. Mana Regen Rate also increased by 17 points. The best part my Time Stop Stat also increase by 50 points enabling me to take 15 people in to my Time Dilation Field. I thought that was really nice. It all came from just reading books for 6 months. I was nearly 1/3 finished with the books. With my Advance Reading I am sure ill be able to finish them all by the time we get to the village.
So I continued speed-reading. I also noticed while everyone except Vionia were moving quite slowly. So I assumed she also made her self a Time Dilation Field. She was tinkering with all the crafting materials I had bought. She even had a huge book she was reading from as well. A book I have actually already finished that had schematics and all sorts of drawings that I could not understand.
Every time someone wanted to tell us something, it would sound so slow we could not make it out of what they wanted to say. So I asked them to write it out. By the time they wrote it I would finish a book. Even Vin wasn¡¯t sitting around, you could see him sneaking around, I only assumed he was working on his stealth.
Every time he would sneak around I found it fun to walk behind him. Even when he ran at full speed it was fast but still too slow for me. He was so annoyed I could tell. Since he knew I was behind him although every time he would turn around I would move behind his head. I think he started to feel the pressure changes that constantly followed him. Thanks to him and doing that as a regular exercise every evening I even acquired a skill. After following him around for the past 6 months it even leveled more then a few times.

Sweet they cannot be erased any longer no matter what. I was really happy.
As we entered the small town the entire town welcomed us with open arms. I was not expecting that.
The changes that happened in the village where: all of the buildings were now made out of stone, I came to find out that every building had a toilet that had an underground disposal service. There stood 15 new 2 story-housing buildings. It seems they all were quite busy to even fully furnish the buildings.
Elder Fin: Welcome! Welcome! Please all gather in the tower. We will have a celebration for the new arrivals to this town. We knew you were all coming this way to settle here so when the Tower detected you 2 months ago when you entered its range we began building you houses where you may live as long as you wish. Salim I hope you brought us some supplies. Did you?
Salim: I brought you more then supplies. I assume you got the first teleportation delivery. Yes however we don¡¯t know where it¡¯s from or who to send a reply too. Here take this chest it has instruction on how to proceed his name is Merchant Fill. Would you also send a payment of 100,000 gold even though I owe him only 30,000 gold! I asked him to buy up every high quality stone he gets his hands on.
Elder Fin: ******jaw drops open****** We don¡¯t have that kind of money.
Salim: Oh right you haven¡¯t seen it yet have you? Tower will you please raise the carriage up to the top level of the tower.
| Failure
- The carriage is to heavy for the tower to raise it off the ground.
- Suggestion to store it in the lowest part of the basement due to the weight of it. |
Salim: Tower can you make a gold deposit box at next to the entrance in to the tower accessible only by me and everyone I have authorized on my personal list. You can use this metallic door I acquired. Apparently I could identify it to be Duralumin. It was tougher and lighter then Titanium.
I brought out the broken door and tossed it when it was caught mid air by the tower. It shred the door and with extremely high heat like never before it melted it. Then shaped it using the dirt and rocks. It looked like a drop box only big enough to fit a hand in too. However the length was extremely long. Long enough to reach the bottom level. The wall made a small tunnel in the tower that was then REPLACEed with the deposit box.
I didn¡¯t forget that there was a path that led out from the basement. However when the tower only controlled the access it was impenetrable. The making of deposit box did not phase elder Fin, however he kept on staring at the carriage filled to the brim with gold coins. Since the windows were black from outside so no one saw what¡¯s inside.
This tale has been unlawfully lifted without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.
I then directed the carriage near the deposit box and asked the tower to deposit every coin in to the new vault. It was literally like a rail gun firing instead of actual firing it was being dropped in to the box. The deposit took some time.
| Message from the Tower
- You have deposited 21,897,945 gold. |
Everyone who had the administrator privileges to the tower yelled at once in unison.
Whaaaaaaaaaaa
Vionia: I though you said we only took 15,000,000.
Elder: Where and how did you acquire so much?
Trill: Whoooah we are really rich.
Vin: What is everyone whaling for?
Salim: Well it seems we took more money then 15,000,000. It seems since we only focused on stuffing the carriage we did not actually count. The amount we took.
Vin: Ha ha ha ha. So how much?
Salim: 21,897,945 gold.
Vin: Whaaaaat?
Salim: Yep yep. Oh that reminds me. Since we are allies and you accompanied us this far you may take 5,000,000 whenever you go back to your village. Honestly I suggest we go build you at least one tower so we could just teleport it. Instead of risking transporting it.
Vin: Ya though I need to find a guardian, to get the authorization.
Salim: There is another method actually. If we sign a formal Alliance contract I can authorize the towers to be built up to 100 meters. I can also make the authorization from here.
Vin: Ok then lets sign one.
Salim: Its not a paper contract though. According to the old books I read it has to be signed by your blood. If you break the Alliance contract the towers will fall instantly. That¡¯s the catch.
Vin: I have no wish to go against you and if I can benefit from it then why not. I am already benefiting more from you then anyone else in this world. So I am ready to sing it.
Salim: Very well. Tower take us up to the Tower Stone.
We both floated up to the stone. When we came to the stone.
Salim: Now I need to kill you over the stone.
Vin: Ok it does beat going back by foot.
Salim: *****GRRAAAAA***** k ah k aka HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
Vin: What?
Salim: I was just joking.
Vin: Whattttt? So you can¡¯t authorize?
Salim: I already have authorized it about 8 months ago when we where still coming here. I just forgot to tell you that. I read it in a book I could authorize it no matter the distance. Even a window came up and asked me how many towers I wanted to authorize. It seems while you where gone they built the 5th tower in the center from what the message told me. I authorized the 4 outer towers to be built to 90 meters Tall and the center one to 105 meters tall. I even got a message that one tower was complete. You will have to install the onyx stones that I personally touch and give them the affinity powers. If you want since we have 10 stones that the merchant has sent me. I can bestow 5 stones with affinities that you can take with you to put up on the towers.
Vin: I would really like that.
Tril: SALIM, SALIM, SALIM, COME QUICK LOOK AT WHAT THAT MERCHAT JUST TELEPORTED IN.
Salim: Lets go see.
When we got there in front of us stood a huge egg like silverfish thing. I came close to it and tried to identify it.
| Unable to identify. However will you like to bestow an affinity? |
Trill: There is a message that came with it. ¡°I bought this from an adventure that I constantly bough items from. He said he would sell me a stone when I have enough money to buy it for. Since no one else would buy this stone not knowing what it was he sold it to me for a pretty cheap price considering I have a skill of Master Identifier LVL 80. I still can¡¯t identify it. The adventurer said he was lucky to find one since he was close to the volcano. That erupted more then 2 years go. I paid him 100,000 for that one stone.¡±
Another message suddenly teleported into the room, just as we finished reading this one.
¡°Merchant Fill: The adventure said he has another one, about half the size. He says he will sell it for 50,000 gold half the price.¡±
Salim: Send him 150,000 gold. For the stone and for further purchases he makes in regard to the stones. We need the other stone like this.
I then remembered a story from the book more like a myth of a person talking to a stone. Everyone assumed he was crazy. However one day that stone opened like a flower that lifted the young man and carried him away. No one knew where.
A few moments later the other stone just like the earlier one teleported in to the room as well. The big stone was nearly 2 meters in diameter and the other smaller stone was 1 meter just like the stone in the Trinpik Tower.
Instead of trying to identify it just by looking, I touched it.
| City Stone Qintaz. (2 meter stone) |
| - If you have an affinity of Gravity, Wind, Earth, Fire, Water and Energy. You may activate this stone by bestowing those six affinities.
- This stone can be used to make a floating city.
- That will be protected by wind affinity.
- People will not be able to spot the city even after looking very hard. Since Fire affinity and Water affinity will make an illusion using mist and energy as reflection. (like a mirage in a desert)
- Access to this floating city will be a moving platform.
- The size of the stone will be the determining factor of how large a city could be in order to float up. This particular stone can accommodate 320 kilometers of land.
- The stone will not lift a city of the ground until the real threat that is not bound by time is eliminated in the vicinity of the city. If there are no threats the city will rise with no problem. Once it takes a place in the sky it will stop moving. Will not be able to change locations. The temperature of the city will slightly increase so not recommended to rise a city near the equator.
- Cannot manipulate time. However requires energy affinity for anti-gravity.
- Can control the weather.
- Loyalty is bound to the creator who bestows the a5 affinities on to it for eternity, even if they die.
- The height that the city will flow up to is 2 kilometers in to the air. The atmospheric pressure and supply of oxygen will be regulated by the stone. |
I then bestowed it the 5 affinities. I then touched the smaller stone; the only difference I found was that its range was half, so 160 kilometers instead of 320 kilometers.
Salim: Vin would you like to make your city a flying city?
Vin: Is that possible?
Salim: How big is your current city in diameter?
Vin: Its actually only 5 kilometers wide.
Salim: Great.
| I Salim authorize new people to all the stones I created, to include Ruben and Vin with full access except direct contact with stones. |
As we were talking the stones that I bestowed powers on suddenly opened up like a flower and were now floating in the air.
Salim: It looks like you can fly to your village now.
Salim: Here take these smaller stones that I have also bestowed 4 basic affinities that you should put on the other 4 towers. You can have the smaller stone flower to make a floating city. Place it in the middle tower of your city. This stone is Qintaz. Once you place it there and if there is no threat to the city from a Time Monster the city will float up in to the sky.
Vin: Are you sure I can have this? There might not be another one like this.
Salim: I have this one bigger one so yes I¡¯m sure.
Vionia: I see now. Making deals behind my back. I heard everything. Salim I don¡¯t know why but that bigger stone is mine.
Vin: See what I mean?
Salim: Ok then, you two can have those and I will have to find something else in order to build my Capital City.
Vionia sat on the large stone flower and floated away.
Vionia: I got to go search where to start the city.
Salim: Vin you have everything you need. Get going now. You can sleep just instruct the stone where to take you. Trust me I have a feeling this stone power is huge so the travel will be easy since it¡¯s carrying a puny human.
Vin: Thank You.
Salim: When the Towers are complete Trill will send you 5 million gold to further develop your city. I too will be leaving for a place I wanted to visit and read so much about. Trill you and Elder Fin have this place under control. I leave the development of this village to you and the tower as well. I will be leaving with Frick¡¯s shortly.
Vionia: So you weren¡¯t going to say good-bye?
Salim: I thought you already left?
Vionia: I did but came back to get Tio. I will also leave you the carriage since I have this beautiful stone, so very colorful.
Salim: Well goodbye then. Please take do something with the nobles clothing you have in the carriage.
Vionia: I will leave it here in the tower in my room then.
Salim: Well time for my adventure. See everyone soon enough.
I then got in to the carriage with Frick''s. I only noticed then that it was so spacious and the chest that was still in the carriage was still on the floor covered in expensive fabrics and noble clothes. As for the rest of the wagons full of stuff and horses I told the elder to take care of them. I even took about 1,000 gold for the travel.
We headed towards the ocean that I saw on the map. It was the same one I was technically born at. Our destination was the mountains around the ocean that interested me. Since I read so many mysteries about them as well as the fact it was filled with tunnels. I wanted to explore and adventure for a little nothing political.
I was still amazed that Vionia didn''t take it. She probably already tried opening it and couldn''t. Wonder what it has inside.
When I touched it with the intent to open it. It opened by it self with this inside.

Volume 2 Ch.9 Ell-Su
When I started the journey I figured it was better to return and leave the carriage since I wanted to explore the woods on the mountains. I didn¡¯t want to just fly everywhere in the carriage. So after leaving it I took the key that was in the chest and left everything behind. I also didn¡¯t want ride Frick¡¯s since I saw him more then just a companion but a true friend. We had conversations about many different stories I read in the books. I even discovered that he him self was very special. Even though most of the things I read about Frick¡¯s nature were very vague.
Weeks went by and even monsters would not approach us, I blamed Frick¡¯s presence to that fact. Even after three weeks we had yet to find one cavern. The mountains started to get taller and we moved northeast. Finally after three weeks we saw small caverns all over the place. Most of them that we checked out were very small and with dead ends, it probably was a nest to some monster.
Using just a map without any extra measuring devices it was hard to follow and after another 1 week I finally got the hang of it.
| Navigation Skill Acquired LVL.0 |
| - Ability to use maps and gadgets to navigate your way through out the world.
- Ability to understand navigational equipment.
- Quick mastery possible through use of high tech locators. |
Well I guess that had a positive effect. The entire time we only ate fruits that we found. Since we saw no monsters in the area wonder why?
It took us one month to arrive to the closest map marker. Since I knew the other place would probably be just another entrance in to the same place underground I preceded.
After proceeding for about one week through the cavern we arrived where two paths came to. Assuming the other path is the other entrance location. I could see that two paths converge at a waterfront. Well I wasn¡¯t going to take the path and instead I got in to the water and it was only waste deep. So I walked to see where this water would lead. Frick¡¯s was jumping around and swimming while trying out different transformation forms. I think he is enjoying him self. The weird this is there is no fish just crystal clear water. No monsters around either.
Walking in this water felt nice and even after another week of just walking in such a beautiful place. It felt as we where being watched the entire time.
After another week of walking underground with our food gone now. We were quite hungry. That is when we came up to what looked as a stone face.
As we approached it.
| Notice of an Advance Dimensional Field |
| - Extremely difficult to pass.
- Suggest turning back.
- Using Time Dimensional Fields Highly advise not to.
- Dimensional Monster Present.
- Accessible only to Time Manipulators or Dimensional Manipulators. |
I ignored the warning and continued on and stepping just a 3 meters away from the stone face when it began to speak.
Stone Face: Welcome Time Lord! I am the gatekeeper of the secrets that are kept here. If you want to pass you will have to pass a simple test.
Salim: What is the test?
Stone Face: I am indestructible Guardian. However there is an annoying monster always harassing me. Get rid of it and I will let you enter. If you accept you should use your time manipulation of dimension manipulation in order to make it visible to yourself. Then fight it. In exchange I will award you with the entrance however I cannot guarantee that you will be able to unlock the secrets stored beyond.
Salim: Time Stop.
Surprisingly the stone face entered my time dilation field without permission. And continued to speak.
Stone Face: I see your eager to get this going aren¡¯t you? Well then you¡¯ll have to wait here since that little rascal is eating every monster in this area.
Salim: So now I know why I had to suffer without food. I guess I have my own reason to beat some sense in to him.
Stone Face: I see that you don¡¯t have a weapon. By the way I am not asking you to kill it just beat some sense it to it. I still enjoy its company. If you promise me that you wont kill him I will reward you with an additional reward.
Salim: Sure. I wasn¡¯t planning on killing it either way since I don¡¯t want my level to go up.
Stone Face: Oh so you have also discovered that secret. You are very interesting person may I say. The last time I have seen a Time Lord at that is more then 5 thousand years ago. That Time Lord¡¯s name I still remember since he was the one that made me.
Salim: Since I am waiting want to tell me his name?
Stone Face: I only remember his name and nothing more but it was. Emperor of Time Kenaz Sunti-Salim.
Salim: So what do you think is my name is? It¡¯s Salim!
Stone Face: Young Time Lord the name Salim is not a name. It is a family name so you must be a descendant of some sort from to the previous Emperor.
Salim: So he could be my father or grandfather or great-grandfather?
Stone Face: That I do not know. Oh looky here the little rascal is back.
Salim: I think you need your eyes checked since that doesn¡¯t look like a little rascal but more like enormous giant monster. You sure I shouldn¡¯t kill it?
Stone Face: Please don¡¯t although beat it up until it is almost dead, the previous Emperor also brought it here.
To my surprise this monster was covered in white bats from head to toe. I assume that was the safest place for them to hide since it didn¡¯t want to bite it self.
Salim: Can¡¯t it just swallow you whole Stone Face?
Stone Face: It tried however I am also immovable.
Salim: Convenient.
Stone Face: If I where you I would get on with the beating before it is completely enraged that we are casually talking.
Salim: Might as well as get it over with.

This was the perfect opportunity to see how strong I was. Thus the battle commenced. At first started to use Phantom Running to run close to it and hit with everything I had including full inertial power. The impact was fierce yet no whole was made in its body?
Salim: Frick¡¯s mind giving a hand?
That¡¯s when both of us started hitting it one after another with our full force unimaginable impact all around. Yet the cavern we were in didn¡¯t phase even a bit. After a week of constant fighting and avoiding its bite it still seemed unfazed.
Stone Face: Seems your attacks are pretty weak.
Salim: Shut up. I haven¡¯t shown you everything just yet. Frick¡¯s do you want to let me ride you and use shadow running with my full power to see if anything happens?
Frick¡¯s: Sure I was waiting for you to ask.
That¡¯s when the thunder like punches ended and transformed in to earth shaking punches. With all of the techniques engaged in battle, the impact this time around showed progress. We struck the monster with everything we had. It took us 3 more weeks to get it to the point were the monster was panting really hard and not attacking us anymore.
Stone Face: I think that¡¯s enough.
Salim: Not yet.
Stone Face: I think the little mongrel realized his mistake.
Monster: Forgive me Time Lord. I submit to your will and will obey your orders just don¡¯t kill me.
I felt sad to see it in that state. I then walked up and patted it.
Monster: I am your father¡¯s animal. It¡¯s been so long that I didn¡¯t realize that you are his son. You have a similar scent. These 5 thousand years have made me loose the sense of what I promised him to do. That was to only protect this place from dangerous people and your father¡¯s enemies. Forgive me.
Salim: So the previous emperor is my father after all.
Stone Face: Well in my defense I can¡¯t smell anything even though I supposedly have a nose.
Salim: So what are you?
Monster: My name is Aegis. I am a dimensional rift guardian. We usually can take care of any opponent up to an Emperor Class. However it is only possible when the Stone Face uses his Time Stop and I use my Dimensional Rift to conquer any opponent. The Stone Face was always called Stone Face he did not forget about our mission and job down here. So he used you to beat sense in to me.
The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.
Stone Face: I thank you for that. I am happy that you are a descendant to the previous Emperor of Time. Since my promise was not to let anyone else other then his descendants enter this gate. I was willing to make an exception as long as Aegis got his senses back.
Salim: Well its nice to officially meet you two.
Aegis & Stone Face: Likewise.
Stone Face: Ahg right you beat the sense in to Aegis without killing it. What weapon would you like?
Salim: I want an object that can take any from that would return to me no matter what even if I threw it far away.
Stone Face: Easy enough. I am actually happy you didn¡¯t say an anti-matter weapon.
Salim: What¡¯s that?
Stone Face: You don¡¯t know?
Salim: No
Stone Face: Then I will give you the promised reward.
Aegis: I also want to impart you with a gift.

I was glad in coming here this far. I wonder what¡¯s beyond the gate. By the way I don¡¯t see any gate so where is it?
Salim: Umm where is the gate?
Stone Face: Ummm you have to enter through my mouth.
Salim: I guess you should open up then.
The stones mouth dropped to the ground. It was nearly 10-meter tall and 4-meter wide-open mouth. It was pitch black but I entered regardless. The jaw shut behind Frick¡¯s and me. It then illuminated a wide path that went forward and curved. As we turned the curve we could see a huge cliff to the left. As we progressed further about a half of a days walk in the dark we saw light coming from a cave further on.
That¡¯s when I felt the key start to glow and warmth came off of it. The little gears on it started turning and even ripped through my pocket and flew towards the round shaped dome. I came close to the dome like thing and at that the key cut me.
| Welcom the son of Kenaz Sunti-Salim. |
A blue like force field that covered the door dissipated. I was very curious what was inside, so I hurried in. Frick¡¯s also followed. In the next instance I was teleported in to a chair and Frick¡¯s was forcefully transformed in to a human and also teleported in to a chair next to me. The chairs suddenly strapped us to the chairs. Even with all my strength I was unable to break free.
Suddenly a transparent person appeared in front of us.
Hologram: Please don¡¯t struggle since you won¡¯t be able to get free. These two chairs will now commence brain wave and biometric scans. After identity is checked the telepathy machine will bestow on you the entire knowledge of the universe. Even though you are bestowed with these memories you will only remember them in a similar event. Once you remembered something, you will not forget them.
| Transfer of ownership to Ell KenSu-Salim complete |
Hologram: Time Lord Ell. May I advise you too keep your full name a secret, for it holds many secrets of its own. You should just go by what you go by currently. That is Salim.
Salim: Aha I got it! Now release the straps on the chair.
Hologram: I am what called a Hologram that is part of this spaceship left by the previous emperor for his descendant you. I have transferred all of the ships data to your mind and how to control it.
Hologram: Even though all the history has been transferred in to your memory you still won¡¯t remember what happened and why you are here. So let me tell you the events that transpired and forced you to come here. This ship is named KenSu short for Kenaz Sunti. Now it will be renamed in to Ell-Su that way if someone find out about your name you can tell them another reason why your named how your named. It is a living ship and transcends every space/ time/ and logic that exists in the known universes. The reason being is it was passed down in the family for generations. Even though a ship can die however before dyeing it will pass all of its knowledge to the born offspring. This current living ship has another 1000 years before it dies and its offspring will be born about 800 years from now.
Hologram: Now as for the story of events that have transpired:...

Volume 2 Ch.10 The Long History
The past:*********
Zanil race had encountered a race called Kedron. They entered out space through several black holes scattered around the universe. At first we though they were peaceful however we were wrong. They started to disassemble the galaxy they were in. How they did it only the emperor knows. He has left something in the lab of this ship. Please be sure to visit it before you leave. Everything was literally eaten away. The assumption was that they have an unfathomable amount of their species on the other side of the black hole. In order to stop this the Emperor used his Time Stop in order to forcefully cease them, however when he used time stop it did not stop them and instead they even ate away faster when Time Stop was used. He used to speed time up and it too didn¡¯t slow them down and only made them even faster at harvesting and killing different creatures. It was then know not to use time stop.
That is when the Emperor of Time asked the Emperor of Dimensional Rift to help the universe. Even though the Emperor of Dimensional Rift was not part of this universe he agreed to help them. He sent Kedron in to different dimensions, however they found their way back somehow and continued to harvest. The Emperor used all his power to make a repeating rift that summoned it self to suck in the Kedron race that entered through the 7/8 black holes. The process has been slowed down however the emperor no longer has the power to make another one of those repeating rifts.
The things we know is the Kedron Race cannot navigate the Black Holes. Just use them or else they would have re-routed and all come in through the open Black Hole. He stepped down as the Emperor of Time in order to concentrate on the Repeating Rifts. Even though the Emperor of Rift also retreated due to the threat to prepare his universe. He gave your father a gift the ability to control rifts. That¡¯s how he has managed to make those repeating rifts.
You are currently in a space ship traveling from this universe to the next. This area is called the Dark Void since there is nothing for quadrillions of miles. This areas vastness is incalculable. Everyone is in stasis pods. You entered the stasis pod when you where born. Since your ship is the first one that set off through the Dark Void. You only entered this virtual reality that was designed by the Overseer with both of the Emperors help. Some say it really is a living world in a different time and space were your mind manifested in flesh. So many things you learn here will be taken with you as you wake up. The time or around the ship was not stopped since Time cannot exits in this Dark Void.
From the time you have entered the virtual reality game your body has aged 18 years. The fact is everyone is in a virtual reality. Even the ones that you meet who say they remember their parents and ship outline. The reason being is they were in a different virtual reality program. Since about two years ago we have sent everyone in to the same virtual reality to conserve the power. I want to mention again that certain skill will carry over to real world. The guardians in this Virtual reality are all real however their form is different in the real world. The guardians in this virtual world have the duty to protect its system to function well, to teach the young generations and guide them to learning about them selves and the real world. They are the administrators who are currently awake on the ship and are monitoring all the systems. Since all of them are pretty much immortal they wanted to be the ones not to go in to hibernation sleep. You even met 5 of them that enjoy this virtual reality and rotate every game year with the outside. A year in the game is about 4 months in the real time.
Even though I know much about what¡¯s happening that is only because I am a toy size computer core that was connected to your hibernation chamber by your father when he sent us both out. However I am a computer who can learn and already know your races entire history. This is an image of where you and many of your comrades rest.
I have been monitoring you ever since. I am also here to tell and explain to you why your father and mother are the only ones that stayed in the other universe to try to slow the Kedron¡¯s as much as they could. Overseer has implemented skill he himself has in to this game so it is possible to learn them. There is a skill in this that your father used all his wealth to buy from an unknown being. He himself was to weak to learn it so I believe that¡¯s what he left you in the lab.
When the people unite in this game and accomplish in controlling the entire world with the major empires the game will seize. Everyone will be taken out of the capsules in order to train further with their real bodies and skills that they obtained here. The reason for that is to battle the Kedron¡¯s on individual level and force them back in to the black wholes. Emperor of Rift could cross the Dark Void however he is limited to the number of people he will be able to take and that number is only 1000, against millions that have already entered the Universe. So please hurry.
Now go to the lab and in fact ill just teleport you there.
*******_____LAB____******
Hologram stopped telling the story and teleported me in to the lab inside a cylinder that was barely wide or tall enough to fit me. The crystal clear cylinder began to light up and an intense pressure filled the cylinder that I was in.
Hologram: I forgot to mention this would be excruciatingly painful. Please do not pass out under any circumstance or we will have to repeat the process. The benefits do out way everything else though.
As I was barely conscious hours and hours passed by as I was counting numbers in my head. Days, weeks, months, years, decades and I was still in the tube. Not knowing why I had to go at it so long. I for an instance wanted just to die.
After what seemed like an eternity the pain subsided. I regained my full consciousness, only to find my self-lying in a bed. I was confused what happened and said "hologram you still here?¡±
Hologram: Yes Master.
Salim: How long was I here and when did the lab finish and what happened and tell me everything from the moment I went in, in too that thing.
Hologram: As you wish master. When we started you have passed out nearly 7,300,000 times. However the time around the cylinder was slowed down to nearly a stop. However this slow pace in the virtual reality lasted only 6 months. The Computer has calculated that the time you experienced to have been 20,000 years.
Salim: I am going to kill you now do you know that.
Hologram: You won¡¯t need to since the seemingly short process took the full power of the ship just to hold out the power in your chamber. The computer is now going in to Hibernation. After the power is regenerated it will boot up again. Next time you want to come here use this pin. The pin won¡¯t work until the ship is at full power. Sooooo ooo oo.. pppppplleeeasse cccoommmeee aagggaiiinn whheen wwweeee arrreee worrrkkiing. Itttt willllll tttttakeeee abbbbooutttt 60 yeaaaarssss tttoooo rrreeeaaaachhhaaarrrgggeeee. Ggggooodddddd bbbbyyyeeee.
The entire ship went pitch black and only small LED lights shown from point to point making the surroundings easier to see. As I was walking out of the ship I saw Frick¡¯s fighting Aegis. I was confused and as soon as I stepped out both of them stopped.
Frick¡¯s: Salim I see you have finished the lab thing. I got bored so I asked Aegis to spar with me until you were done. They even fed me great meals.
Aegis: Salim. I see that you have experience something horrific if the entire ship lost power in order to protect your life. Don¡¯t worry it will be back on-line. This ship can even support a city on its power for thousands of years. So how is it that it depleted of power? Even though you know now I am a real person. I know that core your father connected to your hibernation chamber that is also an AI disguised as this ship in this game and its real power in real life could support a real city for thousands of years nearly depleted 100% of its energy. I am really confused. Why it depleted though only being plugged in to your hibernation stasis pod.
Salim: I can tell you one thing, I have now outlived everyone and every moment of that time I suffered. Still do not know what has happened to me.
Aegis: As we where speaking the other guardian ran a DNA test and full biometric scan on your hibernation stasis pod. For reasons unknown to us your DNA has changed you are half Zanil and half of unknown DNA. I would like to teleport you and Frick¡¯s out of this cave above ground to see if the Virtual system that was built by the awesome three recognize anything and tell us about you anything at all.
Salim: Why not here?
Aegis: This place is in a different dimension so it¡¯s not really synced with the game world. However everything does carry over and the Game World will be able to adapt to the change you bring. I will not go with you however I will leave this world to go see what changes are implemented to your character once you synced with the Virtual World again.
Salim: Sure please do teleport us out of here then.
As I was saying that we were instantly teleported to the Virtual World. I was standing in front of a huge lake. Fricks even had a smile that became as wide as it could be. I knew he was tired of being in that cave more then six months. The walk there, the fight, and even when I was in that cylinder shaped thing. Even though seeing this was more then I could of wished for. I really wanted to die countless of times. I then figured out what it was being alive and seeing and experiencing a new feeling that I have forgotten over 20,000 years that I was experiencing through suffering.
| You have discovered a new race altogether.
There has never been a race such as your self. |
| System has to do preliminary test of this new race. We apologies the pain sensors will completely be turned off for this portion. |
I was then teleported and dropped in various places. The places I was dropped in are: Lava Lake, Acid Lake, Water Lake, Core of the Planet, Space, The Sun, various Gas Fields, I was placed at the Center of a Supernova, and Dark Void. All this time I was only able to feel nothing.
Supernova
| Would you like to name your Race? |
Salim: Sure Liod. Since I was alone in solitude and void.
Salim: Stat window.

Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on the original website.As I walked around I found my favorite fruit a strawberry. After eating them all since they were so tasty, it even seems I had forgotten the taste of it. After eating all of them I went one to find more fruits and even nuts that I ate, which only tasted like dust in my mouth. Perhaps its because I was chewing them with the shell it self.
I ate everything I saw and eating a certain fruit I remembered it was called something like an apple. Imagine a tree full of apples in an instant gone. I still felt as if I was hungry. I was eating my last apple and half way done when the stat appeared before me.

¡°Whatttttt¡± LVL.1? Stats are at LVL one as well and no skills?
I threw that apple without looking as hard a I could. I was so disappointed. I suddenly heard someone shivering loudly. As I looked Frick¡¯s looked at me with terrified eyes. ¡°As he said when did you become this strong?¡±
Salim: Are you making fun of me? I am supper weak.
Frick¡¯s: Look at the direction that you threw that apple towards.
As I turned around I saw a mountain that was behind us with a huge hole in it.
Salim: What about it? I see a mountain with a hole in the middle. Of it that spans about 20 meters in diameter.
Frick¡¯s: That hole only appeared after you threw that apple. Could I ask you never to throw things around so much any more?
Salim: Are you saying I did that? No way. My Stats are at 1.
Fricks: Your Strength is at 1?
Salim: No it says Physical Force at 1.
Frick¡¯s: Are they the same thing?
Salim: I don¡¯t know. I don¡¯t know. Well we should find more fruits cuz I am hungry.
Frick¡¯s: Ok I am up for that.
We ate every little bit of fruit we could find in the area. Then we sat down and both said at the same time. This really sucks there isn¡¯t enough fruits in the area. Hmmm what shall we do? As I talking to my self I was dreaming about the fruits that I ate.
¡°AAAAA¡± Fricks looked at me very puzzled.
I snapped back to reality to find a huge pile of my favorite strawberries in front of me. Should I say, it was a meter tall pile.

Well I was happy then and started to eat so much and only after a while did I realize that the trees around, their bark was like completely gone. I see so it uses atoms of nearby things in order to make what I want. Let me see if I can focus at take atoms only from a single tree and repair the rest of the trees that surrounded me, in order for them not to die in the winter. As I focused all my mental capacity to take apart a tree it actually happened before my mind and as I pictured bark growing rapidly on all of the surrounding trees it did just that.
| Atom Control |
| - Ability to control Atoms
- Can make anything with the correct Atom combination and necessary ingredients.
- Higher level in this skill will allow you to control more Atoms at ones.
- Bound to Mental Force Stat, meaning with higher Stat in Mental Force it will be easier to control the Atoms and progress the Skills Level faster.
-!!!!!NEW!!!!!Can focus on the certain Atoms in order to use for a certain or multiple objects.!!!!!
note: Unlimited uses use wisely. |
Wow now instead of getting a whole bunch of skills. They seem to expand the existing one that is related to it. I wonder if the system changed across the entire world.
| Message from the Guardian Aegis.
- Hey Salim so we have confirmed it seems you can manipulate atoms in the game after running a scan we found out that your actual body in the stasis pod has the same ability. Though we still don¡¯t know what race your second part of the DNA comes from. We know one thing for sure though. You are the first being we ever saw who is able to control Atoms in every matter. |
| We will continue to monitor you and won¡¯t contact you unless it¡¯s a critical situation. Enjoy the Virtual World. |
Salim: Eh? Well what ever. I am really board I don¡¯t even know what to do!
Frick¡¯s: I think we set out a long time ago on an adventure to found an Empire.
Salim: Why would I do that?
Frick¡¯s: In order to beat the game and get out of this Virtual World.
Salim: That seems pointless.
Frick¡¯s: Well how about you point in a direction and we just go that way until we find something interesting. By the way would you bestow an affinity on me?
Salim: What¡¯s that?
Frick¡¯s: Its only been 6 months how could you forget already?
Salim: For you it has been 6 months perhaps for me it was more then 20,000 years and all of I was in severe suffering. I remember I would momentarily faint from pain around 2 times a day. The rest of the time I was constricted without being able to move. It was like a living Death no perhaps worse then Death.
Frick¡¯s: I am sorry for my insensitivity. Take your time and do what you like.
Salim: Well I don¡¯t know how but let me try perhaps it will make things funnier. What affinity would you like?
Frick¡¯s: Please any affinity would be great.
Salim: I have no clue which one. I don¡¯t know if its going to work so let me try this.
****** Bestow on Frick¡¯s the Wind Affinity!******
Frick¡¯s: Hmmm nothing.
Salim: ****** Bestow on Frick¡¯s the Fire Affinity!******
Frick¡¯s: Hmmm nothing.
Salim: ****** Bestow on Frick¡¯s the Electric Affinity!******
Frick¡¯s: nope nada
Salim: ****** Bestow on Frick¡¯s the Water Affinity!******
Frick¡¯s: net nepoluchilosi
Salim: ****** Bestow on Frick¡¯s the Earth Affinity!******
Frick¡¯s: Nothing
Salim: ****** Bestow on Frick¡¯s the Space Affinity!******
Frick¡¯s: Hmmm nothing.
Salim: ****** Bestow on Frick¡¯s the Nature Affinity!******
Frick¡¯s: Hmmm nothing.
After about an hour just saying phrases over and over. Frick¡¯s became a little disappointed. I then started to list everything I remembered. I also remembered the test of the Supernova. It was so beautiful and as I pictured it in my mind I said.
****** Bestow on Frick¡¯s the Supernova Affinity!******
All of a sudden Frick¡¯s became like a person on fire since he was in his human form. He went from red to orange and finally some bluish light color. Since by this time we were walking on the beach. The water next to him started to boil and the sand melt in to hot molten mixture of some sort. I then walked up and gave him a good smack on the head. I didn¡¯t feel the heat what so ever. Perhaps after the test they forgot to turn the pain affect back on or something like that. I still didn¡¯t know what.
As soon as I gave him that tud on the rear of his head he came back to a normal color and everything around him started to cool of.
Salim: So did you get it?
Frick¡¯s: Yes I did. Look.
His stat & skills windows popped open in front of me.

Frick¡¯s: So point the way so we can already wonder off. I also want to say thank you for that Primary Job it seems it¡¯s also my affinity.
We where what seemed like heading further northeast around the lake or you could say just walking on the longest beach that I have ever seen in my life.f

[th_096_K.gif]
We have walked along the shore line for about 24 hours and in the morning we saw a lot of smoke rising in the distance. As we approached the town with a hastened pace we saw a terrible scene.
The soldiers walking around dragging kids and women around as if some play things. We saw that most of the men except the elder who were already dead piled up outside of the little town. As we entered the town we didn¡¯t get spotted by any one for some reason. So as soon as Frick¡¯s(human form) and me in stepped in to the central block we saw that the soldiers were using their swords to torture and so forth everyone including little kids.
Me remembering the horrendous torture from my recent past swelled up so much that I was going to obliterate this entire town. I also noticed Frick¡¯s who has suddenly become enraged when he also saw this to a point that he blew up.
Frick¡¯s: UNFORGIVABLE.
Every soldier stopped and looked at as. As they all charged at us Frick¡¯s Completely turned in to the light bluish color that I once saw when watching the supernova. As the energy around him expanded and suddenly went out of control with a such of a rapid expansion of energy the surrounding area was wiped of the map. Not a single living thing survived. Even I felt the pain of standing next to him.
| You have taken -1 point of Damage. |
Everything that seemed to be in the vicinity of 100 kilometers was obliterated and we were floating in air at the center of a 100 kilometer deep creator.
Salim: Frick¡¯s I am also quite angry and want to take out my anger. However you just destroyed all of the living innocent people here as well. I will turn back time for this case. Just please don¡¯t blow up any more towns. Use your fist and get physical if you want.
Frick¡¯s: Can you please turn back time to the point before the attack?
Salim: Let me try.
As I concentrated extremely hard like never before since I was so angry still that everything in front of with the exception of Frick¡¯s who I permitted to come with me slowly came to a stop and slowly reversed. I could see that we didn¡¯t have duplicates that ran backwards. It seems our timeline continued forward where everyone¡¯s else slowly reversed. We could see the horrible pictures unfolding before us. All the gruesome things that happened before we arrived. I could not make it go fast the time reversal that is. About 4 days that have been reversed we could see that the soldiers that were going to attack where now on the hill 1 kilometer away from town.
That¡¯s when I resumed the real time and let my concentration take a bit of rest.
| New Skill Acquired Time Reverse LVL.1 |
| - Turn back time.
- The proficiency in this skill will allow for a faster movement through time be made.
- Your timeline will progress as is without making a duplicate of yourself. If you happen to go back in time. So potentially you can make a lot of problems for your self or other if certain events are interrupted.
- You can turn back time about 100 years however at a very slow pace. |
There was panic in the streets it made everyone scared since this town didn¡¯t have gates or walls. It was chaos. We saw men started organize and take up arm to defend and even one person saw us asked as to hid away since we were strangers.
We took this opportunity and walked toward the hill were the soldiers stood at. As we approached I told Frick¡¯s not to attack them. Since I wanted to know what Empire their from. As we approached many archers and warriors surrounded us.
Salim: I would like to speak to whomever is in charge.
There was a small path made and a man nearly 2 meters tall came forth.
Soldier : Look at this it seems they sent out sacrificial lambs.
Captain: Have they now. Well I guess I will be the one to take their heads and go back to sleeping with those women we caught earlier.
Salim: Where do you come from. Since what you say we are already going to die. Would you tells us at least this before you kill us?
Captain: I guess I could. Since you¡¯ll be dead either way. Fen Emperor joined the Azitium Emperor with the little kingdoms that surround the countries to obliterate every village on the way to Trinpik Tower. Thus we will kill you as well. We have direct orders to do what we want as long as we destroy the Trinpik Tower that in these past 6 moths has grown in to a small city. They are currently building walls so we want to attack them before the finish building them.
If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
Salim: Thank you for the information. Now I shall give you one and only one warning. If you raise a hand against any civilian me and my friend will obliterate all of you.
Captain: Bring those women here.
The soldiers brought the women they caught earlier.
Captain: You said if I even lay a hand on them. Well then ill let you watch this.
He took his arm and slapped one really hard that she started to bleed from her nose.
Salim: I did warn you! Frick¡¯s do what ever you like except supernova please.
Captain: Ha ha ha ha¡. AAakkk kuuuuk.
Blood gashed out of his mouth and nose there was now a huge hole in his body that ignored all of his armor.
As I and Fricks lashed out in anger at every single soldier the battle only lasted about 1 min before the army camp of nearly 5 thousand soldiers died instantly.
Since I didn¡¯t have Phantom Running anymore I could however control atoms. So I stood on the same spot and concentrated. On as many of the soldier signatures I could find through atom communication. They were disassembled to the point where not even a drop of blood was left. The only thing I didn¡¯t destroy where their items such as armor and weapons I thought the little town could use.
| New Skill Acquired Disintegration LVL.1 |
| - Take apart subject or objects in to atoms.
- Taking apart atoms that are automatically stored in a different dimension for later use. With each level in the skill the capacity to store the lone atoms is increased.
- Each level capacity is increased by 10 cubic meters.
- You do not need to use your stockpile of atoms if you use the surrounding objects or subjects to make what you will.
- Currently stored. 1/10 cubic meters. |
I think that will become very useful.
I think I was only able to concentrate roughly on 25 people at most doing that. Seems to be directly related to Mental Force.
The women that were captured. Stared in a Daze since Frick¡¯s ran around with lightning speed punching holes in soldiers. I disintegrated their shackles and even made basic clothes for them that appeared on them in an instant.
| Atom Control increased LVL. 2 |
I then told the women to go tell the villagers to come out here and pick all the remaining armor and other things that did not disintegrate.
Frick¡¯s: My anger has subsided slightly. However I bet there are many more small armies that took different routes.
Salim: He said Trinpik. I have a small vague feeling I should know what it is.
Frick¡¯s: Ahh right you built it pretty much and left it for Elder Fin to take care of. You want to go check up on it? I want to beat anyone we find on the way there though. Still kind of angry.
Salim: Sure but first lets pay a visit to Emperor Fin.
I then refocused on making some sort of transportation. I though long and hard but no Ideas came to mind.
Frick¡¯s: Hey Salim. I can transform in to something flying to make it faster to travel there.
Salim: Sure that would be nice of you.
Fricks: Here we go haven¡¯t tired this yet.
As Frick¡¯s concentrated he had huge wings form and his entire body to the shape similar to a dragon we saw a long time ago. The difference was it was nearly 5 times bigger.
Frick¡¯s: How do you like it? I practiced this form for 4 months when you were in the lab.
Salim: Where do I sit or stand.
Frick¡¯s: With your power thing I think you can make a seat confortable as in that carriage of ours.
That¡¯s when I remembered the carriage and imagined the very comfy seats it had. Then they appeared in front of me.
| .001 cubic meters of atoms used. |
Now there was a huge couch like seat on Frick¡¯s back.
Frick¡¯s: Seems you got the size wrong; however that seat looks more comfortable. Well enjoy the ride.
As he flew up at an incredible speed I enjoyed the environment around me. Around half an hour later we could see a huge tower in the distance rising up.
Frick¡¯s: Let us enter the town undetected by walking by foot.
So we went down to the ground I then disintegrated the couch.
We walked for about 3 hours and that is when we had arrived at the gates to the city. The city guard yelled at people as we approached.
Guard: Gates are locked no one in.
Villagers: We seek shelter from the armies that are raiding the nearby villages.
Guard: We will not let anyone through by the order of the Emperor.
The gates started to slowly open and there we saw a small army trying to leave through the gates that were full of villagers flocking to the doors.
Since we were in the back we saw nothing. Then we saw a man with spurting blood fly from near the gate.
Captain: Kill everyone in our path they are our enemies obstructing our orders.
As the soldiers screamed with ATTACK.
Frick¡¯s launched himself and as he shredded them and their armor he paid no attention to preserving their armor or items.
I though I would let the scene set in, in to everyone¡¯s eyes. Even though none of them saw who was doing all this massacre. As soon as he killed every soldier part of that army he retreated and stood by my side as if he was always there. I saw everything happening in front of me so I used unconsciously used the water and fire affinity to create an illusion in front of the kids eyes so that they would not be traumatized by this event.
| New Skill Acquired Illusion LVL.1 |
| - Create effective Illusion either for all to see or certain individuals.
- Lasting effect is based on circumstances.
- Higher level in this skill can make people actually feel, taste, smell and talk too; the illusions they see. |
I even made the illusions in a way that they lured the kids further away from the scene. Frick¡¯s in the process kill the guards in the process. After a minute or two everyone scattered. I then used the disintegration skill to clean up the street as well as gather the substances.
| Level increase for Disintegration LVL.2 |
| - Currently stored. !!!!! 1/20 !!!! cubic meters. |
| Stored Atoms are now 2/20. |
The streets became quiet as if a ghost town only Frick¡¯s and I continued to walk to the center of this Empire. It was a long walk since the first tower was the Empires Range for control. After another 24 hours of walking we arrived at the outer wall for the Towers Control.
Guard: Hold it right there. Who are you and state your business or you can also pay 1 platinum for entrance.
As I quickly made two platinum coins behind my back I replied. ¡°Here take two platinum coins for the entrance of me and my friend.¡±
Guard: You must be nobles to poses such amount. (1 platinum = 1000 gold.)
Now when I think about it. The vault we robed at Azitium Empire had no platinum in the Vault. It seems they must have a secondary more important vault.
Thus we entered Empire of Fen.
| Previous Chapter | Trinpik Table of Contents | Next Chapter |
Volume 3 Ch.2 Impostor
As we entered the gate there stood a carriage service that would offer rides to nobles. We paid 1 gold and asked them to take us to the place gate, professional service indeed since they did not ask any questions. It took us around 3 hours to maneuver through the city not as crowded as the outside but still faster then walking.
After 3 hours the carriage stopped 200 meters from the gate. ¡°This is as close we are allowed to come near the palace.¡±
We got off and walked toward the palace. As soon as we were standing in front of the gates, we knocked. The elite guard that was guarding the gate began to speak.
Elite Guard: You are not allowed in. Please leave and don¡¯t cause me trouble. By your clothes you don¡¯t look more then commoners. So leave.
Salim: I must see the emperor.
Elite Guard: Whaaaat. Ha ha h ah a such a funny man. We have orders to arrest anyone requesting to see the Emperor or behead them on the spot.
Salim: For telling us this we see you¡¯re a good man. However we are going in and no one will be able to stop us.
Elite Guard: Those are Titanium gates. If you can open them with your power I will not oppose you. However the entire area will swarm with every Elite Guard on duty that will most likely kill you on sight.
Salim: I have decided to spare you but anyone who opposes me will die.
As I said that I intended to strike the gate with my right fist with a light tap to see its sturdiness. As I though that and swung at it. The ring on my right middle finger transformed in to a metallic gauntlet that barely covered my skin. I didn¡¯t really care and proceeded with the punch.
The elite guard was about to laugh at the sight of me trying to smash the door when my fist hit the gate.
KA POWWWWWWWWWW GRAushhh
The gate from the impact of my fist tore off the walls that it was secured to and flew 3 stories high and crashed in, in to the palace that was another 300 meters away from the wall.
The exact thing happened what the Elite Guard said, who was now standing near the gate with his jaw in awe. Over 200 Elite Guards ran out and circled us. An amazed scene struck every one of them. Since the event was so loud it gathered a huge crowed out side the gate and inside the gate.
The guards actually felt something like this:
No guard made a move though. Until a sound resounded make way for the Emperor.
As the Emperor made his way I saw that I did not recognize him.
Emperor of Fen: Who are you? Where do you hail from and why did you break my gate down?
Salim: I am who I am. I came to see you however they would not open the gates so I opened it forcefully.
Emperor of Fen: Well now I am here. What do you want?
Salim: Where is the Emperor that was at the summit around 6 months ago?
Emperor of Fen: I was the one that was there.
Salim: Impossible since I was there and you wouldn¡¯t forget my warning.
Emperor of Fen: Who did you say you are again?
Salim: I have no need to explain my self to an imposter such as your self.
Emperor of Fen: You made a grave mistake young man. I don¡¯t know who you are but you should know I control the tower and thus the Emperor of Fen.
I concentrated really hard on my surrounding as I close my eyes I could see hear and feel different presences.
| New Skill Acquired!!! Mind''s Eye''s LVL.1 !!!Passive Skill |
| - Can see through illusions.
- Can sense different presences in the area.
- Every level the distance you can feel the presence increases by 1 kilometer.
- Can size up powerful or weak opponents.
- Can detect magical forces active or inactive.
- Can see the names of being above their heads. |
I opened my eyes to see the so-called Emperor was a person who now looked nothing like before.
Salim: So your name is ¡°Sebastian.¡±
That person was startled.
Elite Guards: Did not make a move or else it would insult the so-called Emperor since they could not see through his illusion magic.
The Elite Guard who saw the entire thing being blow away by my fist. Ran towards the Emperor and kneed on one knee in front of the Emperor. Emperor a little startled didn¡¯t back away and only said how dared you lowly guard approach me in this situation.
What followed was a huge fist coming from the Elite Guard that punched the Emperor in the stomach.
Elite Guard: DON¡¯T MOVE ANYONE OR HE DIE¡¯s.
Captain Elite Guard: HOW DARE YOU RAZE YOUR HANDS ON THE EMPEROR.
Salim: Like I said he is a fake emperor.
I then started to walk towards the palace.
Salim: If you want to know the truth, come with me.
Captain Elite Guard: Everyone stays here I will be the only one to go with him.
As we made our way to a secret tunnel that I sensed to lead to what I figure who was out of place in the furthest part of the dungeon. The Captain made his move.
Captain Elite Guard: I don¡¯t know how you saw through Sebastian¡¯s perfect disguise that only he and I knew about. You know die.
As he tried to do a sneak attack while muttering he had already unsheathe his sword and thrust it at me as I put my left palm to block him.
The sword broke from impact with my bare palm not leaving a scratch on it. I only used a light finger tap to his head and knocked him out. Even though the my light tap made a huge imprint on the metal helmet he was wearing.
I then dragged him by the leg down the huge staircase that led to the lone dungeon cell.
The person in the cell spoke up through the enclosed door.
Prisoner: I don¡¯t know whom it is but you should leave before the guard takes your life, worse yet if the captain finds you.
Salim: Old man step away from the door and not in its path.
Prisoner moved away from the door as he said. Its made out of Titanium.
Prisoner: They have tried multiple times to break me out of here all were slaughtered, so please leave.
As I hit the door the door also broke off and flew and imbedded in the walls digging a 10-meter hole. I then used disintegrate to store up on atoms. I wanted that dramatic entrance since I was still testing my strength.
There sat a man shackled to the sidewall of the dungeon. It was completely dark so he barely saw what happened.
Prisoner: I am still shackled to the wall.
As he was saying that his shackles disintegrated.
| 2 sqm/20 sqm atoms stored. |
Prisoner: Who are you?
Salim: I am happy you did not go against my warning that I said during the summit. Emperor of Fen!
Emperor of Fen: Is it really you Emperor Salim?
Salim: Call me just Salim.
As he could barely move due to the wounds on his body I sent pure oxygen molecules around his body instead of his mouth so that he doesn¡¯t pass out from the magnitude of oxygen he would inhale. I even placed small time field around body except his mind and perception. The healing rate was exponentially fast. His wounds all healed in just mere seconds. I even used different molecules that made up what could be called food for the body directly injecting them in to the veins. So overall he healed completely within seconds.
The only thing he saw was that a light with warm feeling surrounded him. He stood there enjoying the feeling and when the he was healed he stepped outside the prison since it was not a bar prison but a completely closed of dungeon. He then saw a soldier lying there since he didn¡¯t see his face he didn¡¯t recognize him.
Emperor of Fen: Where are my manners, my name is Zeer. Please don¡¯t address me by my title though; you are my savior after all. Poor soldier he was probably innocent and just following his superiors in guarding me.
Salim: Oh that guy he is the superior you are talking about.
As the emperor looked closer at the soldiers face that was sideway, he indeed recognize him as the Captain.
Salim: Close your eyes Zeer.
As he closed his eyes, I disintegrated the captain¡¯s armor and clothes down to his underpants and a pair of clothes for the emperor. Fit for an emperor. The outfit I made was made out of titanium interwoven with comfortable fabric inside.
Salim: Zeer put that on. The people can¡¯t see you in that clothing.
I than chained the captain with shackle¡¯s to the ground where he lay and gave the key to the emperor.
Salim: Lets go greet your Elite Guards with your presence.
When we came out side. Everyone but a few he tried to attack seemed to be knocked out. All the people asked me whom the person was that was standing besides me. So I figured the illusion the fake emperor who has placed it on the entire town somehow was still active. As he woke up I asked that no one know him out. Even asked that the Elite Guard who knocked him out come stand by the person next to me. Frick¡¯s did the same thing.
As the Fake Emperor got his bearings back he saw the four of us standing near each other.
Fake Emperor: I am the one that control this tower. So I hence command the tower to destroy those 4 people in front of us.
As four huge streams of red fire launched at us in a stream from the tower; the Fake Emperor started laughing he suddenly stopped to see a certain scene.
Frick¡¯s with his palm extended towards the incoming fire started to draw all 4 streams that aimed at us to be collected in the front of his palm as it condensed and turned in to a bluish fire. He shot back at the top of the tower where the fire came from.
It seems the stone in the Tower could not control the bluish flame. As the bluish ball hit the tower to destroyed it to the point as if nothing was there in the first place.
Everyone stood in awe and everyone saw the true nature of things. The illusion broke. It seems the tower was a water and fire tower able to control mist and make illusions in the process.
The Elite Guards seeing the scenario that now the real Emperor stood with us. All froze and then came to their senses and tried to rush and arrest the Wizard.
The wizard activated his magic and struck the attacking guards with lightning bolts that nearly killed some of the weaker guards. Since there were so many he activated a force shield as he stood and laughed. Many guards were now striking his force shield that stood there unfazed.
Zeer: Wizard Ken you were once the most loyal and the most powerful Wizard within all the land. What happened to you to change sides and join the Azitium Empire?
Wizard Ken: I hated the tower that stood above the rest with nearly 30 meters higher.
As I heard that I started to laugh uncontrollably.
Salim: So your angry that there was a tower that was around 120 meters tall? Ha ha ha ha
Wizard Ken: It means a lot to this world. You would understand.
Salim: That¡¯s not true.
I recalled the scenery that floated from the history in my head that the Zanil race built towers that extended in to space, over thousands of meter tall.
Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
Salim: I have seen towers that reached in to the Space over thousands of meters tall and you tell me you are jealous of towers that are only around 30 meters taller?
Everyone¡¯s jaws dropped, as they stood frozen.
Wizard Ken: Either way you will not arrest me because for the deeds I have done I will be executed. I will not let this force field down and I can also move around while it surrounds me. You might not know this, but this ring that activated this force field is indestructible by even all the forces combined in this world.
The soldiers continued to the attack on his force field that only made them bounce back and become tired after a while.
Salim: Zeer I allow you to do what ever you want with him. I just want to punch him really hard because the things I had to do because of him make me angry. So please call your soldiers back so that I may attack him. That way no one else would get hurt.
Zeer: STAND BACK MY SOLDIER AND LET EMPEROR SALIM TRHOUGH.
Wizard Ken: So you¡¯re Emperor Salim. I have heard how strong you were although I still don¡¯t think you can break this force field.
Salim: I will not use weapons just my bare left hand to attack you. So I hope you force field provides you with an adequate protection not to be destroyed.
Frick¡¯s took several steps back, everyone seeing him do that took backed away even further.
The impact of bare left fist was so intense that the ground shook so violently that the tower that still stood with cracks all the way down to the ground completely collapsed. That was when the shield cracked and smashed to bits even though the ring was still intact the markings on the ring disappeared. As the fist went through the shield I took back most of my power and stopped an inch away from his face. The Wind force that accompanied that punch sent him flying 50 meters before smashing in to the wall of the palace.
Luckily he did not die. As I cam up to him I took of the ring and saw the power in it has completely left though the material used was a bit strange.
| New Skill Acquired!!!Master Identification Skill LVL.1 !!! |
| - Due to your immense memory bank you can Identify pretty much any element on this world.
- With higher Level in this Skill you will be able to identify more objects or subjects in this universe. |
Wizard Ken: I don¡¯t regret killing those scum peasants.
I touched the ring and enchanted it. With a few enchantment¡¯s that came to mind. You will never be able to cause harm to anyone. You are only allowed to use your magic to help people. You will never be able to get rid of this ring not even by cutting your body part. Instead it will take place for another finger or limb as a band.
Salim: Zeer I am done with him. You may do what ever you want with him.
Zeer: Take him away and place him in the dungeon until I figure out what his punishment will be.
Salim: Soldier the one that guarded the gate when we came come here please and what is your name?
Elite Guard: That was I Emperor Salim and I am called Bert.
He kneeled about 2 meters away.
Salim: Emperor Zeer.
Zeer: Yes Emperor Salim.
Salim: I recommend Bert to be the captain of your personal guard.
Zeer: There is one already though.
Salim: If there is one then let that one retire or take another position. Bert here was the only one to judge the situation correctly when I identified the imposter as Sebastian he didn¡¯t hesitate to judge what was the truth and what wasn¡¯t.
**************
As all of this was happening in a nearby galaxy not visible to Salim or any of the people on their planet an event occurred.
A complete destruction of a planet.
**************
Zeer: I will accept anything that you recommend Emperor Salim. The rest of the Elite Guards that are present I hear give two orders. One is Bert from now is the highest military rank in this Empire. Two all of you scatter and bring back every army this Empire has sent out. It is time for us too clean the ranks.
Salim: Wise decision, I was about to ask you do that. So here are my two presents for you since I kind of destroyed two of your armies that attacked civilians and peasants.
Zeer: I trust your judgment in that and won¡¯t hold anything against you.
Salim: Present one.
I approached Bert and placed my hand on his shoulder and focused on his armor. His armor began to shine with all types of colors. When it was settled his armor that has gone from a steel color to a pitch-black color with different patterns imbedded in it. Fire, Water, Earth, Electric, and Nature; were the affinities that I was able to bestow on his armor.
| New Skill Acquired!!!Enchantment Skill LVL.1 !!! |
| - Can bestow objects or subjects without relying on the stones.
- With higher level the enchantments get stronger. (like using a bigger or better stone.) |
Salim: Present two.
As I concentrated the once collapsed tower that lay in ruin on the floor it began to rise up as rocks and different materials stacked up. It was a little wider and when it got to about 60 meters in the air. Nothing stopped its construction and so I continued building it higher. I even took apart the entire wall to make the tower reach 110 meters in to the air. It was taller and even had two smaller towers to the north and south of the tower. As soon as it was complete a window popped up.
| Atom Control level increase to LVL. 3 |
Salim: Zeer I feel that in your vault there are a few ? meters sized onyx stones. Can I use them?
Zeer: Sure.
As he said that through the walls came out 3 onyx stones as if they went through the wall. When I touched one it felt a bit weird so I disintegrated one to see what happens.
| Learned the Onyx Stone Composition |
| - You can now use Atom Control to make Onyx stones provided you have similar minerals and components.
- Can combine stones to make them bigger. |
| New Skill Acquired Blueprint Memorization LVL.1 |
| - Can create objects from memorized blueprints.
- Using Disintegration of high quality objects will allow you to understand the blueprints of certain objects.
- With more blueprints memorized and a higher level. You will be able to combine blueprints in order to make new objects. |
As soon as I learned these two facts I disintegrated another ? meters onyx stone with only one ? meters onyx stone left I merged the components and kept the rest only to make an onyx stone a ? meters size onyx stone. I then bestowed the Water, Earth, and Wind in to the onyx stone. It again shone extremely brightly as it took its position in the top level of the tower.
I only put two commands in to it: Never harm civilians and Emperor has full access and authority over the stone, who can change any command other then these two.
Everyone was in awe. I then decided I did not want to stick around this place anymore now that the fun was over. I was eager to go see the Azitium Emperor but first a stop at Trinpik Tower.
Salim: Zeer I must go now. There are things I need to catch up on and do. So I will leave now.
Zeer: You can¡¯t just leave like that we have to make a ceremony.
Salim: You need to do repairs and Bert you need to continue training. Also you have to weed out the traitors in your army. I promised that if Azitium Emperor ever harms civilians ever again he would have to answer dearly. Goodbye I really want to go now. Perhaps after the World unites would we have a tea between u, until then goodbye!
I wanted to try something new so I materialized the couch again and asked Frick¡¯s to sit on the couch with me. As soon as we sat there the couch took of at a lightning speed. The time we were around 140 meters in the air we spotted a tiny tower in the distance. So we headed that way. We headed now west and slightly south. Apparently I got a hang of controlling my affinities a little.
| New Skill Acquired Affinity Control LVL.1 |
| - You can use affinities that you know as if they were part of your body.
- Distance is based on the level in the Skill. Every level, distance is increases by 1 kilometer; however can be multiplied by the Spiritual Force.
- You don''t have to concentrate to do something using affinities any longer. Just by wanting something will activate the necessary affinities to provide the results as long as you have those affinities that need to be utilized. |
We were traveling at an incredible speed. Even though the scenery didn¡¯t change much since we were so high up. So we got to enjoy the flight as I made the semi-real strawberries that I even started to notice the difference vs. the real ones.
The Trinpik Design of the tower could be made out by now; thus I identified it easily, since I was the one who built it.
Frick¡¯s: I wonder what awaits us. Here!
As we were approaching it and only about 600 kilometers away from Trinpik Tower when we noticed that many perfectly round metal balls flew at us from a higher place in the sky. They rained down like nothing I have seen before. All aimed at us. They had a familiar feel to them though. So I changed our heading to see what was shooting those balls at us from above a huge cloud. Even though the rocks were certainly precise and only aimed at me I just simply disintegrated them as I collected many atoms from them.
I really had a weird familiar feeling that was making me very angry now.

Volume 3 Ch.3 Infinite Energy
| Disintegration Skill level increased LVL.5 |
| -Storage space for atoms is now 50 cubic meters.
-47/50 Full. |
Flying upwards trying to find a city in a sky full of clouds made it easy by the constant falling metal balls that rained only upon me leaving Frick¡¯s out of it.
Since I haven¡¯t seen these types of weapons I couldn''t guess who would be using them. I only remembered flying rocks that a person named Vionia fired at me or was its something else? While getting closer and closer I could feel the force of those projectiles get stronger and stronger. I wonder how painful it would be from point blank range?
Around 3 hours of flying upwards through the clouds we came out of the clouds to see this view above the clouds.
¡°Vionia¡¯s Empire¡± I immediately said to my self unconsciously. As soon as we appeared above the cloud the projectiles stopped their pursuit after us.
We headed towards the highest point of the city. It was like a naturally formed tower surrounded by high cliffs. When we approached it we could make out a figure standing on the very top.
Frick¡¯s: My my my look at how Vionia who¡¯s all grown up now.
Salim: ******Did a Karate chop on Frick¡¯s Head.*******
To our surprise as big as this place was it was fairly quiet with only a handful of people visible down below. Must be hard for people to settle in this area.
Were Vionia stood. Stood what reminded me of the Catapult except with belt like system that fed round metallic balls in to the contraption.
Vionia: So you finally decide to come out of hiding. Ha? Now that your here this is payback time. ¡°She was yelling as we approached from a distance.¡±
Then the fully automatic contraption started firing even faster and with heavier metal that took me effort to disintegrate before focusing on the other incoming fire. I even tried Time Stop and they still kept shooting at the same pace. I was confused and then decided to eliminate the source altogether. I asked Frick¡¯s to toss me at the contraption as fast as he could.
I got to say I never broke the sound barrier until today. ::::VERRY FAST::::
Now I can say been there done that. Here is an illustration.
As I flew at that speed I kept receiving messages in front of me but decided to ignore them. As I nearly rammed the contraption I was able to activate my disintegration skill and made it vanish within seconds of ramming it.
Vionia: You idiot what are you doing again? What is all this supposed to be? How am I supposed to, not only protect your stupid village, with that weak tower, of yours but also my flying city? I programmed it to shoot at anything that approached the city via flying and not by the official gates down below on the ground. That would of brought you up if you didn''t try to fly up.
I walked up to her and did karate chop on her head. She started to complain again and I just did more karate chops until she sat quietly on ground. I then only realized that I had not fully restrained my karate chop. Since a simple finger made an indent on steel I was curious how she even stood the 3 that I gave her.
I then looked at the windows messages I received.
| New Skill Acquired Flying LVL.1 |
| - Skill Requirement having flown more then 10 kilometers while breaking the sound barrier.
- Can now fly at any speed up to the speed of sound.
- Higher level in this skill will allow you to fly faster.
- No profession/class/race restrictions as long as the subject break the sound barrier and flies/ falls more then 10 kilometers. |
| Disintegration Skill level increased LVL.11 |
| - Storage space for atoms is now 110 cubic meters.
- 99/110 Full. |
| Blueprint Memorization level increased to LVL. 7 |
| - Memorized Vionia''s Fire Cannon.
- With your passed down knowledge can improve the cannon 10 fold increasing it efficiency in: speed, accuracy and range. |
I then walked up to Vionia and said. ¡°That lake that I can see from here how far is it from here?¡±
Vionia: About 40 kilometers why?
Salim: I want to go for a swim. Would you like to come with?
Vionia: No. I just took a bath earlier today and now I have to make a new fully automatic cannon defense system.
Salim: I am sorry for not holding back with the karate chop. Here let me heal it.
I then activated my skills to modify the time around her body as well as atomic supplements that would help her heal faster.
After around 30 minutes I was finished. For some reason it took longer then the Emperor Zeer took.
| New Skill acquired Atomic Healing LVL.1 |
| - Requirement in receiving this skill: Heal over 12,500 health points while healing the subject in less then 3 hours. Must have Spiritual Force Stat.
- Can now heal any subject.
- Can guide the bodies¡¯ cells to be able to regenerate body parts.
- With higher level the healing rate or body part regeneration rate will increase depending on the severity rate.
- With higher level can heal multiple subjects. Every level you can heal an extra subject simultaneously. |
I guess Zeer didn''t have over 12,500 points that I would heal.
Salim: Vionia I feel obligated to repay you for giving me a skill. It¡¯s a healing skill.
Vionia: O ya? How are you going to repay me?
Salim: I will also teach you a skill.
As I said that I grabbed her leg and threw her with 1/10 of my strength. I could see that she definitely broke the sound barrier. Since the sound barrier was playing catch up nearly 10 meters behind her. Well I was somewhat considerate since I threw her straight towards the lake.
As she flew towards the lake I activated my Atomic Control skill and rebuilt her cannon in almost an instance using my stored atoms. I used all of it per say. However the cannon not only looked better but sturdier and even gave me the chills.
This is about how the cannon looked like after I was complete.
Guess it took more atoms to create then what I received from it. Perhaps its because of the upgrade.
I then wanted to try out my new flying skill and jumped off the cliff. To be exact even though it was only seconds after I threw her off. She already reached the lake and make most of the tower in the like explode upwards from the lake.
When I arrived she barely moved around. I assumed she was badly hurt from the impact. So I activated my skill and about 1 hour later only when I finished she spoke up.
| Atomic Healing level increased LVL.10 |
| - You have healed 18530 health points.
- You are now able to treat critical situation patients.
- You healing rate increase substantially.
- You can now heal 10 subjects simultaneously. |
Vionia: You lied to me.
Salim: How so?
Vionia: You said I would learn one skill; however I had learned two skills.
Salim: Even better right?
Vionia: No not exactly. It really sucked to be helpless when you treated me.
Salim: What skill did you get then?
Vionia: Survivalist and Flying. Here let me show you. I assume you were talking about flying speed when you tossed me so here is the survival skill I got.
| Survivalist Skill |
| - Requirement: Within 1/2 a day loose and regain more then 25,000 health points.
- You will survive any strike no matter the magnitude. However if the strike is strong enough you will loose all health points except your last health point.
- With each level in this skill your saved health points will increase by 5.
- This skill has a cool down of 24 hours. Can decrease with each level by 15 mins/per level however cannot become lower than a 10 minute cool down. |
Vionia: Wow that¡¯s a unique skill and probably one of a kind on this planet.
As she looked at me her mouth dropped as now she was looking past me. I wonder what she noticed that was so Eye Popping. As I looked at the same direction I saw that cannon.
Salim: Oh that. I rebuilt your cannon as a sign of apology for treating you harshly.
Vionia: BUT But How?
I then constructed a simple chair with an umbrella on the lakeside. She was even more stunned as she looked how the chair with the umbrella came together in front of her.
Vionia: That¡¯s a skill I would like to get.
Salim: No you wouldn''t.
Vionia: Why not?
Salim: I wasn''t given a choice but it took me around 20,000 years in a time dilation field of suffering constantly from something that even changed my race. The entire time I was restricted from moving around. So it was a living death kindly saying. I just recently came out of the horrible experiment conducted on me by my father. However it wasn''t him directly but his machines.
Vionia: Your more then 20,000 years old now?
Salim: I guess.
Vionia: Stupid stupid stupid stupiiiiid me!!! Aaaaaa!
Salim: Whats wrong with you?
Vionia: *******pow pow pow pow*********(Vionia slapping Salim)
Vionia: So let me guess you haven¡¯t even built an Empire have you?
Salim: Was I supposed too?
Viona: *****Kappowwwwww********
Vionia: Yes. We have to unite this world to get out of here.
Salim: Oh that. I want to build a city I just don¡¯t know were to start.
Vionia: Hmm. Good question. I got it how about you get off your lazy but and build one anywhere.
Salim: Oh right now that I recall something a name Tio was it?
Vionia: Oh his hanging around Trinpik with his cub taking care of ¡°that place¡± since the raids keep getting bigger. Seems the towers stones can only manage a certain amount before it initiates a cool down. I even used my precious cannon with the hard work that I put in to make those cannon balls. We took out an army of 100,000 people sent by the Azitium Empire. They attacked when the tower was on cool down. It seems they know a lot about the towers. No wonder they don¡¯t use it constantly in their Empires.
Salim: That reminds me. I need to see that Emperor from that Empire I promised him he would regret if he did something like that.
Vionia: Can we rob him as well? Our funds are going down at a faster pace since I made this floating city. Your order to buy up all types of stones is also the cause of the funds almost disappearing.
Salim: Stones? Why do I need that?
Vionia: How should I know you just bough em up either way? There are thousands of small stones and nearly a hundreds of big ones.
Salim: Hmmm OK. Well I will be robbing him again I suppose and also bill it as an apology from him or should I just make him a peasant or something.
We then stayed at the city for approximately 5 days before we made up our minds that Fricks and I would go to the village where Fricks would stay behind and help the villagers and the city grow by protecting it.
Vionia: Since you are going to the Trinpik tower would you like a faster lift then your flying chair, which is actually pretty slow. It might even help your new flying skill.
Salim: How so and by what means?
Vionia: How about we use that newly modified cannon of yours to shoot you to Trinpik? Think you¡¯ll survive? Who knows maybe Frick¡¯s can modify himself to look like a big spear and also be launched. He can transform why not try transforming in to a big spear or something?
Salim: Hmmmmmmm¡. Well I am up for that¡ However I remember one thing you will have to do. Since I decided not to give out free stuff. I would like to hire you to build something my empire for me. I''ll pay handsomely.
Vionia: Hmmmmmm. So you want to lazy out again? Is that it?
Salim: There is another matter I have to focus on. So are you up for a challenge? I will provide with all the necessary materials. That will connect your flying city to my city.
Vionia: Where is it you want to build your city at?
Salim: Well you will build it on a huge platform on the ground however I will then lift it to space.
Vionia: WHAAAAAA SPACE? YOU CAN DO THAT?
Salim: Sure. I can..
Vionia: Only on one condition! The entrance to your city will have to be exclusive only through my city.
Salim: NO, NO, NO, I can only accept that one of the five entrances be through your city.
Vionia: I will settle only if there are three total entrances and one being mine.
Salim: I knew you¡¯d say that. That¡¯s why I said five even though I only wanted three in total. So then its settled.
Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.
Vionia: YOUUUUU! FINE!
Salim: Do you know anything about building such a city?
Vionia: Of course I know I grew up on a spaceship remember? So what will you be doing all this time?
Salim: Procuring funds and people for this venture.
Vionia: Sucks for you! I hate politics.
Salim: Well then lets launch us in to Trinpik village. Oh by the way. Why didn''t the time stop work on it earlier?
Vionia: I am able to make a portable time dilation field around it. It has to fire faster somehow.
Salim: Ah now I remember you can use that with my permission. OK lets launch us. Frick¡¯s you ready to try a new transformation?
Frick¡¯s: Sure. Always ready.
Then we flown up to where the new cannon that shot metal balls bigger then a person in size stood at. Somehow Frick¡¯s was able to transform in to a spear that really looked more like a rocket. He was fired after me since Vionia was strong enough to load him in. I then again broke the sound barrier. Never expected to fly so fast.
In just around 16 minutes we were able to reach the Trinpik Tower. I didn''t believe my eyes when I now saw a city with walls that has grown around 5 times their size since I left. I even saw there now stood the perimeter walls for the range of the towers reach. I even saw what looked like soldiers patrolling the area.
| Flying level increased to LVL.25 |
| - Can fly up to an altitude of 5 miles high.
- Decreased in oxygen is less of a factor. (May use atomic skill to supply the need for oxygen using atoms in storage.)
- Can fly at the speed of sound while maintaining vigilance to the surround area.
- Can also turn to any angle. However a backlash effect and momentum will carry over in nature. |
As we landed at the top of the tower no one even noticed our arrival. Frick¡¯s changed shape so that he would not crash and became an eagle. I then approached onyx stone and inspected it.
| Onyx Stone |
| - 4 affinities: Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water.
- An added effect of tower and stone size range is 120.
- !!! With Atom Profession you have detected impurities and fractures within the stone. !!!
note: With your Atom Profession you can repair these fractures within a stone. You can compress this stone making it smaller but better quality stone. It takes 10 cubic meters of compressed stone to make a better quality stone. |
I left it as it was and went to look at that stockpile of stones. When I entered the floor just below were I was at. I could barely see a path through that level since it was packed from the ceiling to the floor with all types of stone. I continued down another 2 floors and realized there were 3 floors filled with stones to the point where it was barely passable. I then made up my mind and disintegrated the stones and examined what would happen. As soon as I finished disintegrating all of the stones, I examined the alert messages that popped up.
| Disintegration Skill level increased LVL.45 |
| - Storage space for atoms is now 450 cubic meters.
- 400/450 Full. |
| Blueprint Memorization level increased to LVL. 37 |
| ***Memorized the Mineral Composition of the following stones.
- Onyx stone *1
- Moonstone *1
- Dragonstone *2
- Obsidian*2
- Targon *3
- Ruizon *5
note: *# means the rarity level. *0 = common stones. |
I then went back up and touched onyx stone as I focused trying to upgrade the stone. That¡¯s when it started to crack. I then stopped and this time instead of trying to repair it I decided it was probably easier to build a new stone all together. By using my knowledge that I suddenly remembered all about minerals from the ship. I thought I could compress all of the atoms stored up in to a small size stone. So I put my theory to the test.
Focusing at my palm I started to see a speck that started to grow bigger and bigger. I then pushed further to compress it so that it would not grow so rapidly. As soon as it got to a size of a small ball I would focus harder to make it compress in to a size of a ballpoint of a pen. The process continued for around 3 hours and then the little size stone began to shine brighter then any source I have ever seen before. The entire top floor of the tower was shining so bright that everyone saw that something was happening at the top of the tower that made every leader of the village rush over to the top floor of the tower. However they could not see what was happening.
I even made special goggles for my self with extremely dark lenses so that I could see what was happening in front of me, all this time avoiding all of the alert messages popping up. I could see the stone becoming very unstable and lash out many different rings out of it. Didn''t quite know if it was a stone anymore and even then I continued to work on it. With so many ring like things that were now surrounding this small stone the size of an apple I thought to my self how is one supposed to hold it?
While the stone was floating above my right hand, with my left hand I concentrated on the ground and build a box about a cubic meter in size. I then made Ruizon stones that could support a large quantity of different types of affinities. However for now I only applied gravity affinity and place 14 stones in every corner and centers of the cubic meter box. I then lowered the newly crafted stone that had rings that moved at a rapid speed. The stone looked something like this.
After putting it in to the box it floated naturally at the center without going out of control. I was really happy. All this time everyone was shouting and asking what is happening. The box was made with dark materials to prevent the light from escaping and even then the entire box just shown very brightly. After adding more compressed layers to the box the light dimmed to the point were you could now make out shades in the room.
I took off the goggles and saw that it was still exceptionally bright where I could see nothing. I then added a few more condensed layers to the box and the that when it was enough to make out people in the room even though it was still very bright. I left it at that. Since now it was bright but manageable to get by to either the top floor or bottom floor.
Elder Fin: Welcome back Salim:
Salim: Hello everybody!
There stood everyone who had access to this level except Vionia.
Elder Fin: May I ask what that is?
Salim: I don¡¯t know yet haven¡¯t checked it yet. Let me take a look.
I opened my alert windows to check all of them. I was shocked to discover what I had created.
| Blueprint Memorization level increased to LVL. 77 |
| - Memorized how to make Controlled Supernova.
- Learned gravity Shielding.
note: The gravity shield can control atoms from going out of control as well as redirect the radiation back in to the source. |
| Mastered skill Atom Control |
| - You have made a miniature Supernova.
- You can harness the infinite energy created by the miniature Supernova.
- Can control or neutralize radiation of any object or subject. |
I then bestowed the affinity to the 14 stones with additional affinities such as: Earth, Fire, Wind, Electricity, and Rift. I then set guidelines on who can command the stone. ¡°Only Me¡±. Energy isn''t free after all.
Since I was a master at controlling atoms now. I came up to the Onyx stone in the center and compressed in a way that it now looked like an onyx pedestal were I placed the box on top of. Doing that made the box also integrate with the onyx stone and also integrated with the Tower. The Onyx stone also became to shine brightly and a window popped up.
| Onyx stone has been supplied with intense energy. The tower''s range has increased to encompass the entire world. |
| Due to the cumulative affinities and other Ruizon stones nearby has given the stones artificial consciousness. Please give a name to this collective of Ruizon stones that now have consciousness. |
Salim: Sally AI Collective. I''ll call you Sally for short.
| Name Accepted. Sally AI collective |
| Sally AI Collective. |
| - Central Power Supply Unit, Complex Artificial Intelligence & Memory Core
- Memory Storage Space = 100 Terabytes
note: Many upgrades can be made to this unit. |
| Atom Storage
100/450 cubic meter. |
As soon as I did that the entire tower started to shake. Even though nothing broke off but soon I saw rocks from far away started to fly towards us. As they approached the tower they began to integrate with it.
| Please imagine what you would like this tower to evolve in to. |
I started to see images that I once saw from my homeland. Then I chose one and concentrated on it. After I thought about it a window came up.
| New skill acquired Thought Imprint |
| - Imparting an image that is created in ones mind on to a subject or object.
- Advanced version of Telepathy
- With higher level in this skill one can Imprint or transmit a thought that is more realistic. |
Sally: I have received the image you imprinted in to my memory. It has taken up 1 terabyte of space. I will begin immediately.
Sally: It will take me roughly 6 months to build this structure since I will have to keep in mind the citizen¡¯s safety during the construction. We also either need to relocate this tower to a wider area or move all the buildings farther away from the tower. What would you like me to do?
Salim: Just move everything else away but don¡¯t destroy anything in the process. One more thing, make sure that every place has light either by artificial means or just sunlight. The last thing is, since your range encompasses the entire world make sure to also protect the helpless people and do not kill.
Sally: Easy enough. However those tasks will be the limit. Until they are complete I will not be able to do anything else. Are you fine with that?
Salim: Yes that¡¯s fine.
The sky became almost dark in the middle of the day due to the sheer amount of materials flying through the air. It was unimaginable. So the AI made street lamps with illuminating stones in order to compensate for the darkness.
Salim: Sally please slow down your process and only work on construction during the night but make sure to be as quiet as possible. Since this way the people won''t see daylight for the next 6 months.
Sally: Very well the construction will take 1 year then.
Salim: That¡¯s also fine.
As soon as I finished setting the parameters the sky brightened up and the rocks were no longer flying. I then realized the leaders were all waiting to talk to me. With me being so busy and everything that happened they just stood there in awe.
Salim: Elder Fin would you please gather all the important people on the plot of land that¡¯s strictly mine.
Elder Fin: Oh yes that is quite possible. But it¡¯s bare even though the village expands further then your land. You haven¡¯t built anything there yet.
Salim: Just gather them. Ill go build something quickly.
I then left the tower and arrived at my little plot of land. It took me only a few seconds to construct a house on it that I also remembered from my memory.

Volume 3 Ch.4 The Change
It was around evening time when everyone showed up after being summoned by me. When I entered a room, there were many unknown people in the room, with only 4-5 that I had already known from my previous visit and stay in this village. The elder made a hierarchical system to govern the inflow of people.
Salim: Welcome! The reason I summoned everyone here is to set some ground work for the rapidly developing village.
Some of the strangers began to mumble between themselves and one of them who I had not yet met said out loud.
Stranger: Who are you to summon people such as us?
Salim: I am your Emperor!
Stranger: I am not going to listen to this ignorant brat. Who thinks he¡¯s an Emperor.
Elder Fin: But he is the Emperor.
Stranger: Senile old fool, he can¡¯t be and I won''t ever listen to him.
Salim: I suggest you at least apologize to Elder Fin. I will give you 5 seconds.
Stranger: OR WHAT?
Salim: Let me all introduce a very important being who will punish you for every deed you do wrong. Her name is Sally. Sally, would you please take a form so that everyone can see you.
The life like illusion appeared in front of everyone. It was that of a beautiful girl.
Sally: Hello Everyone. I am an Artificial Intelligence that governs the New Trinpik Tower.
Salim: Sally, what will you do when you have ignorant people such as this insulting stranger who has no respect towards elders.
Sally: With the given parameters by you, Salim, I cannot kill him. However, if you would like I can put him on an uninhabited island.
Salim: No, that won''t do. However, let¡¯s bring his ego down a bit. Strip him to his underpants and fly him around the town for a bit.
Sally: Easy enough.
The strangers staring at all of the things happening, suddenly realized his clothes down to his underpants tore and he was nearly naked as he began to fly out of the house and across the town.

Salim: Don¡¯t bring him back here Sally and drop him off at some other Empires doorsteps.
Everyone else at the meeting never objected after that incident, it showed who¡¯s really in charge. The meeting continued until morning. Different rules and regulations were decided upon. In the end we came up with a system that would properly govern this world.
A three-ring system, where Sally is the OVERSEER OF EQUALITY amongst everyone, then Elder who was chosen by the people, was in charge of LEGAL MATTERS and finally the person chosen by chance THE PROTECTOR. The term for their position would be different. Sally was the constant, Elder was appointed for 20 years and the person who was chosen at random had 10 years in position.
All of them could be re elected earlier if ever there was a death of one of the members. I, as the Emperor, would not meddle in their affairs as the supreme ruler unless I deemed it absolutely necessary or if they became corrupt, since I had more important things to worry about than just this world.
For starters, Elder Fin would be the Elder who was already appointed by the people to be the Elder. The Random seat would be chose across the entire world with a restriction on a minimum age of being at least 22 years old, and be a person who would want to protect everyone and despise wars.
The way the random seat would be chosen was by, the use of the towers ability to pinpoint people all over the world, although that was as much as the tower would do. It would then make dots on a globe the size of a human, which then was spun in any direction by a random person. Then Elder of the town would be blindfolded in the presence of the village leaders and anyone who wants to see this ceremony can, for fairness purposes. The blindfolded Elder would take a needle and stick it into the globe and at that time the tower would pick up the person that was at that given place at that moment, if no one was there then the nearest person/ being to that location.
There had to be a 100% agreement between the three leaders in order for a major decision to occur, like waging war. However, saving a life did not need the consensus of all three leaders, just one was enough.
So we asked Sally to create a world like globe almost 2 meters in diameter. It appeared right before us and even had every single detail on it. We then blindfolded the Elder and spun the world that floated in front of us. Naturally, it would probably spin forever however we all agreed to add around 5 mph wind resistance in the opposite until the globe stopped. The globe would be spun in any direction desired: north ¨C south, east ¨C west, etc. After the Globe was spun and had stopped the Elder was then told to place the needle. As the needle was placed, Sally acted accordingly.
Salim: Sally! Take any means to transport the target to this location safely and willingly. He may stay there if he wishes. Take form and approach the person. Tell him you need his help and ask if he is willing to help. If he refuses immediately go on to the next closes person/ being. However, tell them that you only have a few silver coins to pay them. If they agree make sure you first travel around 5 kilometers to confirm their intentions. When they accompany you for 5 kilometers find a private area and tell them what has transpired and offer them the position of one of the leaders of the World.
Sally: I will then begin immediately. I have to note that there is what seems like a large-scale battle going on in that area. What would you like me to do?
Salim: Man. Well drastic measures do need to be taken sometimes. So make 3 meter tall Golems and stop the battle. Protect the candidate and ask him what he would like the outcome of that battle to be. If he says he wants peace and end of fighting then he will be the leader.
Sally: I have constructed 15, three-meter tall golems with swords 2 meters long.
----------- The Battlefield ----------
As I was catching my breath while standing in a circle of my dead friends and family, there were about 400 of us completely surrounded by enemy forces. As I stood there I, in my mind, was also battling with myself. ¡°This is it. This is the end for me. I am going to die. Our side is at a big disadvantage and we are losing. I wonder what will happen next. We are completely surrounded. There is nowhere to run. We have already lost our leaders. Everyone is in despair. I know only a miracle could save us. Why? Why? Why did they attack us? What did we ever do to them?¡±
:gyaha:
Enemy Captain: Listen you lot. We said before the fight ever began. We want you to be our slaves. Either you come willingly or we will destroy you all. So I want to extend one last opportunity to you all. Will you give in to our demands or will you face annihilation? We have killed roughly 1.5 people already. Do you want to also die?
There was silence. After about 30 minutes the Enemy Captain came forward again and saw that no one wavered, ordered our complete annihilation. As the enemy charged at us at that moment the ground shook and in between us and the enemy rose 15 golems around 3 meters tall. With different types of weapons that are roughly 2 meters long.
Hope and even more despair filled our eyes. I did not know if they were enemy golems or what. However, we watched in anticipation for a quick death or salvation.
Enemy Captain: Destroy them with magic, hurry!
When we heard him yell that, hope filled the air around us. It would seem like it was possible to defeat the enemy.
As the magic came down upon the golems, fire, water and other elements, the magic was being completely absorbed by them. The attacks still continued without stop. Then the golems began to strike upon the enemy. Hundreds were flown into the air as the golems struck with their swords. The slaughter to the enemy continued roughly for 1 hour until the retreat sound was heard. However, now there stood 5 golems that were around us and the other 10 golems all completely unscathed that started to run as the ground shook and surrounded all of the enemy soldiers from escaping. All of the enemy forces now fell into despair and all of the golems yelled.
Golems: EVERYONE!!!! DROP YOUR WEAPONS AND CEASE YOUR HOSTILITY.
It was completely in unison. Amazement filled my eyes. As soon as everyone, including us, dropped our weapons one of the golems started to approach me.
The golem then pointed a figure at me.
Golem: Young man, what is your name?
:noei:
I think he is going to kill me for sure.
Me: I, I, I, I, I, I (stutter) ammmm caaaalleeeed Leeeeeo.
Golem: Leo! What would you like to do with the enemy?
Leo: I don''t know. I don''t want any more bloodshed. I want to put a stop to slavery and free all the enslaved.
Golem: I have deemed your request noble. This will be done as you wish. Just one more question though, will you lead the free people or even other people?
Leo: If that¡¯s what it takes I will.
Golem: Then it is agreed.
The golems then rounded up the enemy in cages that appeared out of the ground as if they were summoned. I got stormed with question from my friends. Who are these? Why do they talk to you and not us? Why? Why? Why? One of the older people told everyone to cease their question since I myself didn''t know. Then again straight out of the ground a girls shape came out just like golems although she was as tall as me and approached our group.
Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.
Sally: Hello Leo. I am glad you chose to be the leader. I was sent here to explain the situation to you further. I am one of the leaders of Trinpik Empire. You are also one of those leaders now. The other one is Elder Fin who is currently at Trinpik. Elder Fin, you and I will be the ones guiding this world to a better path from this point on. You will be one of the leaders for the next 10 years. So you can offer the survivors and the now free people that have been release from captivity, a new home or you can also rebuild here if you would like.
Leo: Why me?
Sally: It is a system that is part of our Empire to choose a random individual and as luck would have it. You are that random person chosen to lead. So you may choose to make a living anywhere you want with your people.
Leo: How far is the kingdom that you are from?
As a globe rose from the ground it floated and details appeared on it.
Sally: We are currently standing right here and the empire is right over here.
As I looked at the globe I could make out major empires and kingdoms.
Leo: You are nearly ? of the planet away? How are you able to have influence all the way here? I have seen the range of towers and none have this type of reach.
Sally: Oh that. Well to be exact I am that tower''s intelligence system. I was built roughly a day ago. As we speak, Emperor Salim is setting the groundwork for this newly made Empire. The tower actually completely covers the Earth. So the reach is unlimited around the globe.
Leo: Are there battles like this one going on right now?
Sally: Quite a few actually.
Leo: Could you stop them all?
Sally: Yes. Do you want me to?
Leo: Yes and please hurry.
Sally: Easy enough and Done. I made 15 golems just like the ones you see here at every battlefield around the globe. What would you like me to do at those battlefields? Will you determine the victor?
Leo: No, no. No victor. Make them all go home and cease hostility.
Sally: If they don''t listen then what?
Leo: Force them. Use cages such as these.
Sally: Will do. Now back to the topic are you going to rebuild or move to the empire?
Leo: I would like to rebuild what the armies have destroyed. We live 3 kilometers away from here. They burned everything down.
Sally: I see. Very well then, I will leave you to guide your people and I left you a little present for when you return back to the village. One thing you should know, you now have the authority to command the elements under the tower''s control to help you.
Leo: I can command elements?
Sally: Yes. In fact I am going to make an illusionary birdy that everyone will see including you, which you can command as you wish. The Emperor will be going to create something soon so the likelihood that you¡¯ll meet him soon is slim.
As the remaining survivors, including me, came back to the village I saw it was burnt completely to the ground. We all gathered in the center of the town to decide what we were going to do. After a short discussion everyone decided on rebuilding. As soon as the decision to rebuild was made, the ground began to shake. We saw the old and ruined building being torn apart further, as it began stockpiling right outside of town as if making a huge bonfire. Then stones and wood flew in all from different directions, whole trees were being trimmed with sharp stones into planks and other shapes. It was not long however, before we stood at the center of town to see our homes rebuilt and even to a degree that made it look like nobles homes. Everything was rebuilt with more space in-between each lot. It made the village expand by nearly 200 meters. Each house was now at least two stories. With the town hall a single story which was as tall as 2 stories. The only other building was a 4-story inn that now stood in the center of the town. The illusionary birdy sat on my shoulders the entire time. Then it spoke.
Birdy: This is my present to you. Also where would you like to live?
Leo: Anywhere is fine.
Birdy: That won¡¯t do you are the leader of Trinpik after all. Here this will be for you.
Immediately, more stones flew through the sky making it seems like night. However, the new light poles all over the village illuminating everything. Then we saw a huge Castle being made as we watched. Everything including the castle was built within 4 hours. It was a sight to see. Everyone, in amazement, looked and even noticed that there were now golems that were 2 meters tall around the entire tower just standing there. A few seemed to patrol the perimeter of the town itself. Everyone was dazzled in disbelief that such an event occurred in front of them.
Villagers: Why is everything happening like this? We were about to be annihilated.
Birdy: It seems luck is on your side. At the time of your battle it was literally pinpointed on Leo as one of the Leaders of Trinpik. Trinpik is a new Empire however its reach extends to and covers the entire planet. So the Leo you now know is actually one of the leaders of this new World.
We then went about to pick the houses we wanted to live in. Since currently everyone agreed that, the castle was indeed only built for me as its owner, since the golems did not let anyone else in except me and people whom I''d permitted to come along. I then told everyone that I was not going to be their leader but a friend. For everyone else who would come to live in the village they would then have to see me as the leader of the village or town at that point. No one objected and agreed to the terms. There were many empty homes and we agreed to give them to new settlers that would come to this town.
As I lay in my new bed in the castle I could hear how quiet it was and then it hit me, we still needed to bury our dead and mourn them. Well I guess that will come tomorrow.
************** Back at Trinpik Village **************
Sally: The new leader''s name is Leo. He didn''t say his last name. He has stopped the war and even spared the enemies'' lives. He is worthy to be a leader. He also stayed behind to help the villagers. They do live on the other side of this world, even if he wanted to come here with no way to teleport him here it would take him years, even with my help.
Salim: Well done. It is settled then. I did my part and now leave everything to the new leaders of this town. One last thing Sally, the wizard that is working at the tower, I truly forgot his name already, help him out; he wants to develop that teleportation network.
Sally: I will do as you say.
Salim: Well I have to go and I will leave everything in your hands Elder Fin, Sally and that new leader Leo. I promised a certain Emperor a visit if he ever abused his power. So do not worry about Azitium Kingdom. I will take care of it. Farewell.
Elder Fin: Hope to see you soon, and are you taking anyone with you?
Salim: Everyone has free will after all, and there are few that can keep up with me.
Sally: Salim, before you go. I feel some being ripping this planet apart. I don''t know how to describe it but it would seem the things it digs up and eats are completely disappearing. As if its mouth is a portal to some other place.
Salim: How big is it and where is it?
Sally: It''s the size of a dog and it''s currently at the South Pole.
Salim: I guess I''ll go there after my brief visit to the Azitium Empire. I''m off.
My journey had started again. It was as if a new sun rose into the sky. Fricks joined me and I sat in my carriage, the one I was awarded with and rode of towards Azitium with Fricks lounging on the roof. Even Sally decided to accompany us in her new found form. It was made up of thick mist but looked very life like.
(This chapter I decided to experiment and see how many readers prefer this method to the ones I used earlier with pictures and stuff like that.)

Thank You!
Volume 3 Ch.5: Say What?
I have to admit the hurdle I faced. Was pretty tough with Trinpik. I finally found a way to resolve the story with a unique solution.
I was enjoying the ride in the carriage when we came upon the Azitium Empire Gates that were unmanned. So, Fricks and I continued in the carriage to the castle. Some time ago during the trip Sally decided to go take a stroll on her own. Even though her consciousness covered the entire planet. She said it felt better to focus on a specific point rather then everywhere at once.
I came to the Castle to find it completely abandoned. Even though there were still people living in the city and even the market place started booming. With no one to take control, the sudden collapse of power created a power vacuum. The crime rate increased and sanitation decreased and so forth everything was going down hill.
It seemed the emperor escaped to an Ally country with all of his belongings, including his soldiers. I got angry with them since after making contact with Sally. She said that the route they took left ruin and despair. I personally had enough playing games with that ex-emperor.
I then asked about the Kingdom that they were in. As it turns out the Emperor of Orelius, the one that took him in, seized his wealth and imprisoned him and his soldiers. However I still want to go check myself. Perhaps he too is a greedy one and perhaps doesn''t care about his people.
I told Sally to take care of this City and set it straight. Meaning, build watchtowers to illuminate the dark streets and place golems as guards to prevent crime. Then install irrigation systems and sanitation pipes for toilets, as well as garbage sites that should be enforced by Golems. Punishment for evildoers is spanking until they either faint or beg for mercy.
Fricks decided to stay back and help out within the city.
When I sat in the carriage to head of across the sea. I made the carriage fly high so that there would be no obstacles in the way and applied full speed to it. Then asked Sally to give me as much boost as she could while still being able to control the other activities she was doing.
Ok so, if I broke the sound barrier earlier. Now I don¡¯t even know how fast I was going because it only took 3 seconds to speed up and 3 seconds to stop. I was now on the outer perimeter of the Kingdom of Orelius. I landed and activated an illusion screen to pose as a tattered person. It seems that right on the outskirt before the gates, was a city completely burnt down. Could not even see a soul that would''ve survived.
So I pretended to limp all the way to the gate in tattered clothes. The illusion, that I created showed everyone an image as if I had cuts and someone tried to heal it, would look like it was being healed. I also made myself look as if I was drenched in blood.
As soon as I was about 30 meters from the gate, they opened and a few people came running. There were, two soldiers carrying a stretcher and a person who looked like a priest who held a staff. I was asked to lie down on the stretcher and while running back inside the city the priest started to chant. My illusion began to change and I could see the slight wounds closing. Then the priest told me he was a novice and could only do that much. I thanked him and pretended to fall asleep. Once my illusion showed everyone I was sleeping, they left.
After a while another man came in with two guards. This one looked like he was a captain of sort. He then spoke to one of the guards. ¡°Soldier Zack Neves, I hear you are new. Here is your first assignment: wait till he wakes up, then: the emperor has sent us money to give out to beggars and even people like him. Give him these 10 gold coins and this cloak. Tell him this cloak will give him access to the rest of the Kingdom (minus restricted areas). It will also provide him with 30 nights of free stay at an INN, with food included. By then hopefully he resolves himself and gets a steady job.¡± The solder didn''t reply and just saluted as if understood, everything that was said.
He stayed in the room until I made the illusion wake up after 10 minutes. The soldier handed over 10 gold coins and repeated the words of the captain. I took the money, bowed thanking them, put on the cloak and headed further into the city.
10 minutes later I stopped between two houses with no one in the area. Turned my Time Bubble on and proceeded to the castle. Oh yes I did use my time distortion field so that no one could see that I moved exceptionally fast.
I appeared out of the corner and headed towards the gate. Once I reached the gate a guard spoke up to ask me to halt. Then said, ¡°I know the hardships you must have gotten through and are probably here to speak with the Emperor or his servants to see if they can help you further. I can only tell you this the Gates will open in an hour so please come back then and you will be received by one of the administrators." I thanked him and walked off.
59 minutes later I was again in front of the gates, then it opened. The person I was behind the gates sitting behind a desk was some young man and since the guards did not object I came close him and then we began to speak.
Stranger: Hello there elder. I am Pete, one of the aids to the Senior Chief Officer. I do apologies for any loss you have incurred because of that Azitium Emperor. We will try to compensate further, shall you need it. We are also ashamed that we did not stop him. We also did not know what was happening since he was destroying everything faster than anything could reach us. Don¡¯t be afraid, he and his soldiers are now imprisoned and will live the rest of their lives in the prison. So please tell me how can I accommodate you further. You are, by the way perhaps one of the last to hear of this, if you didn''t already hear this.
Salim: I am Sal. I want to see him. That he truly is imprisoned. Then since I lost all of my livestock and farm near the city of Azitium, will you perhaps donate more money to me, so that I can rebuild my wealth?
Pete: How much was it all worth?
Salim: Roughly 2 platinum.
Pete: With so many people I don¡¯t think we can give you that much.
As he was still talking I can see a figure escorted with nearly 10 royal guards approach him.
Emperor Orelius: Pete I do believe we can give him at least 1 platinum and a guard to help him start over since he seems, to know how to manage such funds.
Pete: Your majesty!!! Yes you are correct.
He then called a guard over assigned him to me and took out one platinum that he then handed it to me.
Emperor of Orelius: Regarding the prisoner, I can have guards escort you and show you him, if you want.
I thought that it might be a trap, so I went along and saw that he really was imprisoned and even my senses verified that it was no illusion or any other sort of magic. We then reached out side of the prison where we, were greeted by the Emperor himself.
Emperor Orelius: I am curious who you really are though. Not many people know about me, but the ones that do are the royal guards and my family including the servants. I have a special ability that can show me bits and pieces of the past in particular the person I am looking at. Though I see nothing within you, hence I came here to see if you''re not here to help the prison escape. Care to explain?
Salim: No.
Everyone was now slightly more cautious and he then said. "You have what you came for and now you may leave in peace. You can stay here in this Empire or return to your ruined home and rebuild your choice. This guard will guard you for 4 days and then return here."
Salim: I am not quite done here yet. Show me the platinum you seized from that Emperor.
Everyone took swords out, excluding the Emperor. He told everyone to sheath them.
Emperor Orelius: I apologize. It is in the royal vault and no one, with 3 exceptions, is allowed in it. Most of the money that we seized has already been distributed to the victims and for their stay and food. Thus, much is already gone.
Salim: Will you not split some of it and send it to aid the crumbling city of Azitium?
Emperor Orelius: There is an expedition leaving tomorrow to aid them, funds included. Will you not reveal who you truly are?
Salim: You bring out the Emperor so that he can have my punishment on him. Don¡¯t worry I won''t kill him.
Emperor Orelius: I can¡¯t do that. You might be a spy here to help; however without evidence I can¡¯t detain you either.
We left the prison and arrived at the Castle Gate.
Salim: The Guard can stay here. I won¡¯t need him.
Emperor Orelius: Very well. You have a safe trip and bless your new start.
I walked out and the gates closed behind me. For an instant I forgot why I came there and since the gate was closed and I did not want to wait till tomorrow to punish the Emperor, I turned around and ran in to the gates. I used my atom perception to know that no one was in the way and jumping up, with a kick downwards I obliterated the gates. There was now a gaping hole of nearly 10 meters wide with a small crater in the ground.
The emperor was just on the other side of the gates when he saw them disappear with minimum earthquake. Everyone was stunned and could not even move. Only the Emperor Orelius spoke. ¡°So why are you here for again?¡±
Salim: I almost forgot, I was here because of your kindness and generosity. I want you to bring the Emperor of Azitium out here.
Pete: Whom do you think you are Sal and whom do you think you are talking to peasant? Have respect towards a person whom has shown you so much love and favor.
Emperor Orelius: SHUT UP PETE AND BRING THAT EX-EMPEROR OF AZITIUM HERE.
Few minutes later he was here with the prisoner escorted with nearly 50 more royal guards.
Emperor Orelius: He is yours just don¡¯t kill anyone here. They are all dear to me.
Salim: Bring a wheel barrel of horse manure.
Emperor Orelius: PETE, you heard the man.
The items were brought within minutes since the stables were right next to the gate. After they brought them. Just by looking at both I made them levitate and then started to paint that old Emperor with the manure. I then had a big banner materialize above his head that said. "This will be done to those who kill the innocent and destroy families and lives. They will also be imprisoned for life."
Everyone seeing this was in complete shock. The emperor then floated off around the entire city.
Salim: You should leave the doors unlocked all the way to his cell. He will float around this way till sunset and then return to his prison cell at night. This was the revenge I promised him, should he continue to harm the innocent.
Emperor Orelius: Then if I am not being to blunt. You are Salim, the Trinpik Emperor.
Everyone who heard that knelt immediately.
I dispelled the illusion and was standing in nice silky threads.
Salim: Emperor Orelius, I have deemed you just and thus will not do anything to you and your empire. I am no longer the Emperor of Trinpik. Trinpik has a new system. From what I know, the new Emperor is named Leo. He should be living not be too far from your Empire. I handed down my position as the Emperor since I have more pressing matters to attend to.
Emperor Orelius: Is he as powerful as you?
Salim: No, he is an ordinary person. However he is still the most powerful Emperor on this planet. I know for certain he can crush your tower within a second or two even though he has no power of his own. The system that I set up gives him power of this scale. Oh, I know, let me introduce you one of the Rulers of Trinpik, Sally make your self know.
Ground and other elements immediately came together and there was a very beautiful attractive Sally standing.
Sally: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Salim: Sally?
Sally: Sorry Salim. I can¡¯t stop laughing that you so calmly punished that stupid ex-Emperor. Forgive me for being a bit rude. I am Sally one of the Governing powers of Trinpik.
This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.
Emperor Orelius: It is a pleasure to meet you. However why can''t I sense any life within you?
Sally: I am here but also no here. I am everywhere and yet I am here.
Salim: You won¡¯t understand. Any way, since you¡¯re the only one that knows what Leo looks like please show us an image of him, so that Emperor Orelius knows who he is.
Then an illusion appeared in front of us of a young man.
Salim: A nice fella don¡¯t you think Orelius?
Emperor Orelius: Indeed, however is he hot blooded, seeking war?
Sally: No, instead he even stopped your war a few months back if I recall. Didn''t you see the huge Golems? It was by his order they came and went.
Emperor Orelius: It seems I am actually indebted to this young man.
Sally: If you want to repay him open a trade route with his home city where he resides. It is 360 miles southwest from our current position.
Emperor Orelius: That area is heavily infested with monsters and bandits. That will take time to secure.
Sally: Don¡¯t worry it''s already secure. As we speak I even placed night-lamps on the route to his town with golems spread out every 10 meters, it even has walls that rise nearly 2 meters on either side of the road. So don¡¯t worry very safe. Perhaps the safest route in the entire world.
Emperor Orelius: I don¡¯t remember such routes.
Sally: Silly that cuz I just made them as we were speaking.
Emperor Orelius: I will send trade immediately.
Salim: Ok I am done here. Got to go. By the way make sure to promote a soldier of yours who I think has a great sense of justice and fairness. His name is Zack Neves and he''s at the south end gate as a guard. If you don¡¯t give him a high position Sally here will take him off your hands.
Emperor Orelius: I will test him and do as you instructed.
Salim: I hate long good byes so here is a small present.
As I left the tower next to the Castle not only became 20 meters taller, reaching a height of 100 meters but also 10 meters wider and the smashed gates rose again from the ground as if nothing has happened. I even upped the quality of the front gates.
I traveled around for a bit and discovered, the wars are all stopped and the countries progress to strive. Further and further, I have even seen signs of modernization on this world. Since there were so many people that started to play this game, with the vast knowledge of our extremely civilized nations in our real realities. Thus it made the planet boom with technologies. It seemed to skip thousands of years in its progression.
After 3 moths or so I decided to recharge the crystal in my father''s ship. I started practicing the rift portal power I never really used. So for the next 60 years I became proficient with it. It now had a range of one universe.
Using my rift ability I teleported to a dark spot in the universe that I sensed with my perception, which now reached that far. I wanted to try to absorb a Supernova so that I may recharge the ship. I tried recharging it using small bits and pieces of condensed energy, they weren''t effecting it at all or too small to tell.
I opened a small rift the size of a hand in a place near the Supernova. The rift was forced to open even further by the Supernova, it seems I still don¡¯t have enough control. However instead of trying to stop it I focused all my attention on absorbing as much power as I could.
Messages were popping up again, which I only ignored further. The rift had completely teleported the supernova to this dark space of the universe. I was now completely focused on my protection by making the most atomicly dense shield I could muster with layers and layers upon themselves.
If this were on a planet, this shield would be indestructible and so black that it would swallow the light around it immediately. However due to the intense light from the Supernova, especially this one, since its size was out of the ordinary, I stayed like that absorbing as much as I could. I even noticed that for some reason it was being absorbed as if there was no limit to my storage. Perhaps due to the intensity of the Nova and the quality of the atoms it probably leveled my atom storage every second. I also had to use a lot of my atoms to regenerate the shield in front of me.
One year had passed in this state. For some reason I did not go hungry nor need to drink any water. There was still about half the Supernova to go, when I stopped and retreated.
The elements were stable with me near it absorbing the power. However since I stopped, the regular sized nova exploded sending me - protected in my shield - at a speed unlike before. Definitely faster than light though.
The rogue elements went everywhere. And spread out through the dark space of this part of the universe illuminating it. I concentrated on the atoms of this universe and stopped the atoms escaping the Nova. This caused the area to be born again and illuminated with new stars. I should say one more thing. I could only perceive everything that happened through my perception that was now at a level, as if I was bigger than the universe itself.
Well now was the time to go back. I teleported back to the ship and started to channel the atoms to the ship to produce the energy it needed, which was pretty much the same composition as the shield I used when facing the supernova. What supposed to take 60 years for it to recharge, recharged the ship within seconds.
Thus the ship started and every part of the ship began working and reinitializing itself.
Then all of a sudden Red and Blue lights turned on and the alarm was going off.
Ship: Enemy is headed for this Galaxy. Assessing power level of threat and locals. Alert this Planet and all of the inhabitants must relocate or face destruction. Even you Salim are not strong enough to face them head on.
Salim: Say what?
Ship: Alert!!! Suggestion!! Teleport this World to another Universe or further into the universe, Enemies will reach us within three months.
Salim: I thought we are on the ship, in stasis pods?
Ship: You are correct. However both are connected through a special portal. If you die there you will die here or vice versa.
Salim: Is there a place that I can teleport this world to that will never be reached by those enemies of ours?
Ship: The two emperors finished the theory of this and it will work. However getting back from that place is still unknown, if it¡¯s possible.
Salim: How do we do it?
Ship: You must enter the medical center and undergo a small change. This will provide you with the power to transport this world and its inhabitants who are actually real and existing people to this new plane of existence, this planet including. I am not aware of the destination though. The real bodies will also be transformed and taken with you to the next plane. The real bodies will then merge with your current bodies leaving you with your strongest mastered skills. This ship will determine which skills stay and which stay.
Salim: It''s better than dying I guess. What about that other ship, what will happen with those operating passengers?
Ship: They will be all teleported and the ship will stay adrift in its current destination. Until it reaches its destination no one will be able to teleport onto it.
Salim: "Lets do it." I ran into the medical center and it floated me into the cylindrical shape and encased me with a maximum time warp bubble.
5000 thousand years went by, however this was time without pain and I was unconscious the whole time.
Salim: What happened?
Ship: Real time only 2 months have passed and the enemy is now 1 week away. As for you, you have been unconscious for nearly 5000 thousand years. The only reason you did not feel pain was because you supplied so much power to this ship that it is still capable to function for hundreds more years. Even then, its power regenerated at a faster rate than it consumed.
Salim: 1 week?
Ship: They were able to speed up somehow. They also probably sensed the amount of power I transferred into you.
Salim: What do I do now?
As soon as I asked that I saw a clear process in my head and thus I got into a meditation stance and began to concentrate.
3 and a half days passed. I now had the full picture in my mind and while mixing time manipulation with rift I began to pull it to an unfamiliar location. I could not tell what it was or where it was. Once I opened my eyes I saw that I was on a green grass. My perception did not help nor any of my powers. I thought perhaps I was out of energy and tried to absorb something to no avail. I was absolutely powerless here.
Ship: I am glad I was able to reach through your brainwave pattern. Most of my scan are down and I can only do simple function such as communicate and display a hologram of my surroundings and the location of this seemingly new world. Would you like to see?
Salim: I am glad I can still communicate with you. Are you able to repair your self?
Ship: Yes.
Salim: Good. Please show me where we are.
Ship: I was teleported into space and currently approaching the planet you are on. Here is the image from the probe I left behind at the location I was teleported to.
Ship: O wow is that me flying so fast? I haven flown in a while. What a feeling. :)
Salim: Seems like a nice looking world.
Ship: Indeed it is. Seems to me that other then the two worlds somehow merged together, this one, which is original to this location, is more dominant. However the Magical element that came from our world will now work on this world. I sense that the density of this world was not the only thing to be affected. The gravity has increased 10 fold to previous origin. Hence you should experience an adjustment in your Stats as well. If a beginner level one person''s basic stats were around 10 in each category, on this planet it is 1 point in each category. So you will see a huge reduction in your stat window. It doesn''t mean you have become weaker, it just means you are in a plane were it will be more difficult to see a powerful effect of your power.
Salim: Make it short. I don''t like long speeches.
Ship: Very well, simply said: your power and all stats minus the skill mastery has decreased 10 fold as well.
Salim: Seems it will promote my further growth better that way. Perhaps this will bring me closer to beat that enemy. I know I asked you this before but are we on the correct plane were the enemies can''t reach us?
Ship: I was about to tell you. That I mapped the star systems and noticed that we botched up a little. Instead of teleporting to another plane you teleported us to the other side of our universe. This will give us more time, however we can expect them to reach us soon.
PREVIOUS CHAPTER
++++++++++++++++
Sorry guys at first I thought merging would be great. Since most of the readers hated that Idea I changed my mind on merging them. Even though I thought it would give me a new edge. So I changed the ending in order to address this issue and it will no be merged.

MERGER CANCELLED
I have to apologize to the readers that I said, I will merge the stories. Due to your feedback, I felt like I betrayed you all. So hence the I changed the ending of the previous chapter and there will no longer be a merger.
As for the quick pace of events. I had to do it. In order to avoid writing more detailed about boring events. Thus this gives me sort of a skip forward option to better parts that await Trinpik Story.
The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

I SAY AGAIN. SORRY AND IT WONT HAPPEN AGAIN.
