Conquering The Game's World

Chapter 9: "Is my fiancee beautiful?"

After sending off the doctor and ensuring Luis was safe. Now Luis and Lumine were left alone inside the room. When Luis was eating, Lumine had sent a message to her father (Luis' maternal grandfather) to help in searching for Luis' assassins. After all, the Desmond family's information network is one of the best in this country. So she believed they will be able to find them.

Now focusing on Luis, she asked. "So, you aren't against the engagement?" Lumine just wanted to change the topic and let their minds focus on something else instead of the incident.

Luis didn't know why she asked this suddenly, but he calmly replied. "I haven't met her yet and I don't know anything about her. So I don't agree yet."

Lumine nodded her head slightly, and a mischievous smile formed across her face. "Ara, that's good news. I thought you had a girlfriend or something. It would have been a shame to let go of such a wonderful daughter-in-law."

Hearing this, Luis' interest was piqued. After all, he still doesn't know who his fiance is.

"By the way, who is my fiancee?"

"Are you curious?" Lumine asked with a raised eyebrow.

Luis nodded his head.

"Do you want to know if she is beautiful?" She asked again.

"Yes," Luis nodded his head in anticipation.

"Then listen..." she closed in near him and said. "I won't tell you."

Luis was dumbfounded. He wanted to scream. 'What the hell was all that build-up for?' But he knew his mother was enjoying this, so he could only smile bitterly.

Lumine was having fun seeing Luis' reaction. "If you want to know, you should just meet her."

Thinking of something, her face changed into a sigh as she said. "Well, you two were supposed to meet two days ago. But you weren't here. So the new appointment should be arranged soon."

Luis nodded his head in understanding. To be honest, it's fine by him if he gets a good wife arranged by his parents because he knows very well that with his experience of previous life, he could never woo a girl.

So it's better if his parents arrange for a good girl to be his future wife. He doesn't care about her beauty as long as she is pleasing to his eyes. It's fine by him.

At this moment, they heard the butler knocking outside the door.

"My lady. Young master. Master is awaiting your presence."

Lumine and Luis stood up wondering what does Ronald want to do. Coming back to the living room, they saw Ronald standing there with a black box in his arms.

The box was very well designed, but one can also notice its sturdiness at a glance. Though they were curious, they waited for Ronald to speak first.

Ronald gestured for them to follow him and took them out of the mansion toward the mana training room.

As the name suggests, it was a facility inside the estate to train the mana. Although the resources are very expensive so it's not used frequently. Also, after reaching a certain level of strength, it's not much effective. Inside the room is a mana-gathering magic formation that densely concentrates the mana energy from the mana cores and surroundings.

So training of mana is very effective in this room. But that's not all. This room can also be used for artificial awakening.

"Now that Luis had already awakened, there's no need to go through artificial awakening. So why are we here, dear?" Lumine was puzzled as she asked.

"I know," Ronald nodded in affirmation, then he glanced at Luis and said, "But his mana core is still not stable, so we should help him." He continued. "I have prepared an S-rank mana gem for his awakening. Now it can help to stabilize and strengthen his mana core."

As said, people may go through a Natural awakening or an Artificial awakening. When Luis died and Ethan's soul entered his body. It was at that moment he naturally awakened.

For artificial awakening, people use Mana gems in a place with high-density mana and use outside force, such as a strong awakened to guide the mana energy manually and open mana channels inside the body, helping it create a core. Natural awakening is not torturous or painful as artificial awakening is.

In Artificial awakening, there's a chance of deteriorating the individual's potential in case a low-quality gem is used or if there's a mistake in the process, it can very well be deadly.

Mana gems are not the same as mana stones. Mana stones are a mineral that can be mined from dungeons or places with highly concentrated mana. Mana gems are like a rare treasure that can only be found in and above the C-rank monster bosses.

The S-rank Mana gem which Ronald brought for Luis was the rarest, as finding a mana gem from a boss of the S-rank dungeon is no easy task.

When they arrived at the dome structured building. Ronald leads them inside a room. As soon as he entered the room, Luis could feel high-density mana there, making his body full of vigor.

"Take off your shirt and sit cross-leg at the center, Luis," Ronald instructed while pointing at the center of the magic circle.

Luis nodded his head with a solemn expression and took off his shirt, showing his chiseled body. He sat at the center of the magic circle as instructed by Ronald.

Ronald then opened the black box he was holding, taking out a purple gem half the size of his finger. It was the S-grade mana gem, a treasure so rare that people could die for.

'Is it the difference between the rich and the ordinary in the world?' Luis shook off unnecessary thoughts and focused on the gem which Ronald put in his palm.

"Swallow it and don't resist the energy." With those words, Ronald took a seat behind him and put his palms on his back.

Luis did what he was told and closed his eyes to concentrate on the flow of the mana energy inside him. As soon as he swallowed the gem, he felt as if a dam broke inside him.
