14 Contacting the old man.
Arthur POV
When I woke up/opened my eyes again I felt surprisingly...Incredible! Brimming with power and just loving life in general! I looked around my room and got my bearings fairly quick. I also noticed Nabe was stood next to my bed, probably already knowing that I was on my way back from the dungeon. 'thank you Nabe' I smiled.
"MMM" I stretched and stood up. I looked to Nabe "Well. I'd like to think that my progress made was good. What do you think Nabe?"
"I believe it went very well Arthur. If I was to compare you to those at your school now, especially after you receive the XP and such from completing your quests, those devils are nothing in comparison. Would you like to see what rewards you got from the dungeon?" Nabe said to me in her normal and pleasant, polite voice, even though what she said was a little frightening. "Yes please love, if you will" I replied back with a smile.

"Very nice! This is going to help in the long run when I'm talking to women. We don't do cheaters here! Fidelity is cool!". Nabe looked to me from what I could see in the corner of my eyes, with some sort of smirk and glint in her eyes. 'I wonder what that's about?'
[*XP NOT CLAIMED WILL NOW BE ADDED*]
{Level up x4!}
"Jesus Christ my stats are going to sky rocket! The aura moving within my body feels so dense!" I said out-loud. Nabe looked to me and said "That's probably because some of the mana of your different powers and your life force are mixing to create a new core Arthur".
"Is that good or bad Nabe?" I said to Nabe, slightly concerned. "It can be a bit of both Arthur. It depends if you are prepared or not. It wont happen for a little while yet. I will inform you when you need to prepare". I was relieved from what she had said and nodded in confirmation.
'Right then. I leveled up a total of 9 more times, lets get to adding my stats!'

"Ahhh, Its been a good day. Nabe what time is it?" I asked Nabe. She looked to me and said "Right now its 7:30 Arthur". I smiled at her reply "Okay cool, can you please look for some good places to eat in Kuoh and book a spot. We'll go there for dinner after I do something quick and get in shower. I smell horrible". Nabe smiled and turned away preparing to contact a restaurant "of course Arthur"
Once Nabe left the room, I decided to check and see if I could contact the old man. I opened my phone and went onto my contacts list 'Damn. My contacts list is empty as hell'. I called the old man.
My vision faded and when I reopened my eyes, I was back in the void. "Huh? Why am I here again? There's no way I died!" I said with frustration and a tinge of worry. I once again heard the booming voice of the old man "No child, I brought you here when I saw you were trying to contact me" Although I once again cringed at the volume of his voice, I sighed as the worry flew out of my body "Thank Rob. I thought I was dead again!" I said with relief and heard the old man chuckle "No problem!". I know I shouldn't, but I glared at him again which earned me another chuckle.
"So you came here to sort out your backstory in your new world?" I already knew the entity in front of me could know anything and everything but it was still incredibly weird to see it first hand. "Yeah, I am" I replied. "Hm, yeah. Its quite an easy thing to sort out." Rob confirmed.
"Cool. Would you mind helping a grandkid out then old man?" I asked the entity in front of me sincerely. "Sure, I'll give you a hand. I knew this would come at some point, considering your existence in that world is a basically a lie. Most of those devils, angels and fallen angels are a bunch of nosy pric-. Mhm excuse me, nosy people. You would need a legit backstory to cover your ass at some point". I was glad he chose to help me "So how are we going to do this then, should I just come up with a backstory? And if I do, will it affect my powers?" I asked the old man.
Rob looked at me thoughtfully before replying "Yes, they will effect your power. Damn, this is basically another wish all over again. Ugh just choose, before I change my mind!" he finished. I looked towards him and nodded, I continued to think for 30 seconds.
"Okay! I've thought of something! I am the son and heir of a well known noble family in London, the Liones house at the rank of duke. I am the son of William Liones and Elizabeth Liones. We own a large estate in Knightsbridge as well as a castle from medieval England that was renovated for me to use. We are descendants of Solomon, the king of mage-craft and we are in possession of all 10 rings of Solomon which were given to me when i came of age, thought the family don't know the true power of the rings and I am able to use his noble phantasms as well. Hmm as well, can I also change the colour of my hair and eyes when I'm exuding my aura to look like Solomon? This is just to prove I am who I say I am " I said with a huge smile on my face, aiming it directly towards the old man, he had a slight frown on his face and I thought he would decline so I continued " What do you think of that Grandpa? Super smart of me right?" I finished with a huge smile
He continued to look at me, though no longer with a frown, now replaced with a smile "Okay, grandson of mine, I'll allow it!" he said with sigh, but continued "However! You can only get one of his noble phantasms, think about it, you wont get another chance" he said while releasing a grin, probably thinking he won. 'My poor old man, you should've used your powers to read my mind! I actually feel bad. From this day forward, you! Old man, will be my grandpa!'
(A/n: Okay quick note from me. In Fate, the rings of solomon when put together can control and negate all magic. In my version he will only be able to negate it and control his own mana/magic perfectly. Hope that's fine!)
Even though I felt bad, it didn't stop me from instantly replying. "Okay! I want Ars Almadel Salomonis please" In a split second, the old mans shit eating grin disappeared. "I should've thought that through some more shouldn't I? You didn't even hesitate with your answer. That's not giving me a good vibe" The old mans eyes glinted for a second before his mouth opened wide in shock. " So that's the power I just gave you" He closed his mouth and sighed before shaking his head and continued "Thank.. Well me, that your not even close to having enough power to perform this yet"
Grandpa Rob looked at me once again, I was still smiling, almost unconsciously at this point. "Why are you still so happy? Ahh I wont think about it too much, I'll end up getting my first headache! Well I'll do what you ask of me. Go back to your world so I can go and curl up in the corner. The past events of your interactions wont have changed with people, though people may act different with you now. People will be able to get information from your background as well from now on!" Grandpa Rob stopped to sigh once again before continuing "Now go, foolish grandson of mine". I replied quickly before fading back to my world "See ya Grandpa!"
I woke up laying on the floor. I also saw the systems screen in my face giving me new information.

I finished reading the information from the system and grinned like a child. "*Sigh* im going to have to find a way to get A LOT of mana. Suppose its good I already have a plan"
