Chapter 144: The Dark Teritorry Part 2

< Location: Validur Woods. >

< The User had killed the Elven Slime Beast >

< Receiving EXPs >

< EXP Gained >

< EXP Gained >

...

< The User's [Vermillion Flame] had spread around the Woods, burning everything in its path. >

< User's Magic: [Vermillion Flame] -- LVL.3 >

" Better reach Level 4 then. " I said to myself as I unequips' my mask for a sec.

< Unequip [Aether Mask (A)] >

" Phew, being Draven is so goddamn hard. "

" To think the Aether Mask, really that suffocating, damn... " I said to myself for breathing inside the mask was torturous, especially in a fiery area, like now.

< Obtaining Rewards. >

" Phew, it's been so hard for me to keep the 'Draven' persona separated from mine, it really hurts my brain for I need to divide my existence into two Individuals at once. "

" Guess that's what happened if you choose to be a Vigilante-type guy... " I pat my head to ease up for a bit, I sit on the nearby rock, watching the Vermillion Flames, burn everything as its smoke evaporates into the skies.

" It's been so great, gaining all of these powers. "

" I've been so joyful living here, was it for three years that I live in the outer world, out from that Cave? " I ask myself, trying to remember my days in the 'Double Dungeon' where I came from.

" I remember now, the Black Shadows, the ones I stored inside the System Space. "

" They're waiting to be unlocked, waiting for me to be sufficient to withstand on summoning them out of the Shadows. " I recount it.

< " Yes, the rest of the [Black Shadows] are waiting to be unlocked by User Donovan. " > the System says to me, it replied to me for it then decides to accompany me this night.

" System. "

< " Yes, User Donovan. " >

" Do you have another Quest for me? "

< " No, User Donovan. " >

< " Currently, I'm processing for tomorrow's Quest. " >

< " So for now, User Donovan could rest for the day, or User Donovan could do an Open World Adventure if User Donovan likes to take a stroll. " > The System suggests which sounds like a great idea, but.

" Is it proper for me to do so, System? "

" After all, if I go on an Open World Adventure, then that means... "

" I would leave the Black Shadows behind, I can't do that, they need me... " I tell the System that, which it loads my answer.

< " Hmm... " >

< " User Donovan is right, about that... " >

< " ... " >

" System, whatever you want, say it! " I ordered this goddamn System, it always makes things difficult for whatever it wants from me.

"( Seriously, this System was meant as my Support or not? )" I wondered about the System, for a long, it's been helpful yet annoying at the same time.

I was wondering if I could do something to this System, it always acts like an annoying type of AI or some sort of whatever it actually was.

Based on what I know, this System was actually a part of the 'Original', the already advanced one (based on what it informed me back then, in some of our useless talks).

I don't know what the 'Original' means for the System, but it seems, I suspected, that it has something to do with <Vague Memory Voices>, those bastard voices inside my head.

"( Do I have a previous life or something? this time it really bugged me. )"

"( I know I haven't met anything that makes me remember something about my 'suspected' past life before I was born in that 'Dungeon', but I could tell that the voices in my head never gift me a clear hint about it. )"

"( Most of the voices only say some random conversations or some bullshit lines that make me wonder twice what the hell it means. )"

"( Like seriously, never in any circumstances, I've met a subject or an object that directly make me remember anything from a 'past life thingy' or something, like those in the fiction that always gets flashback whenever they see something. )" I think about this, for I really never had any flashback that regards what I 'suspected' to be my previous life's memories, I sincerely believed this, just plainly realizing the different things between me and the other kids.

For I am somehow smarter, faster, and stronger than the rest of them, except for some kids that always get their powers in a skyrocketed way, I was referring to Carlos, that guy has a lot of 'Plot Armor' blessed into his very veins.

No wonder he's the pinnacle of this era's kid mages. He's too unpredictable, from having his Star Magic and having that 'demon thing' inside him, that '#####' guy*.

" I wonder what else he had inside of him, he probably going to unleash more things that we couldn't gain in a short time. "

" Even my Leveling Progress at least needs some process *sigh* "

" Guess the elders of humanity were right, there are skies beyond the skies we know. "

"This actually means that beyond us, there always be someone who always gets ahead of us, no matter how ahead we try. " I realized this, after remembering my last fight against Carlos.

" Damn that guy, beating him at least once is not enough. " I say to myself, clenching my fists.

" But that had to be set aside. " I say to myself and get up, ending my rest.

< Rest Ended. >

" I'm beginning my journey, System. "

" Hope that I could obtain some things along the way. " I said to the System.

< " I see, so we're having an Open World Journey, are we? " >

" Yes, I think the Black Shadows are at least capable of dealing with things in my steed. "

" Besides, I only worried that the likes of Turok, Terra, and Torhn weren't here in this Realm. "

" Me tasking them to obtain things really gives me a setback in this adventure. "

" After all, those three are my powerful ones at the moment. "

" So I could tell that it will be a hard time for me to find another one, at this moment. " I say to the System, as I knew the more level I gained, the more the EXPs obtained won't be enough to fulfill all the EXP bar meters.

" But still, it'll be best for me to do something and perhaps find a new one in this Elf Realm Region, huh? " I stretch my hands while walking into the path ahead.

" Fine then, let's go! " I said to the System as I run to do some 'Farming'.

...

( Meanwhile. )

" Tusk, I just received from the young master that he's going to go for a stroll. " Tania says as Donovan tells her through their <Link>.

" I also heard it. " Doom says to Tania.

" After all, Young Master needs to gather more for our sake, shouldn't he? " Doom says to her.

" You were right, Doom. " Tania smiles after hearing that very answer.
