Chapter 2

-————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

3rd POV*

Lawrence stared at the being infront of him, that being screams nothing but power. He is shrouded with aura of omnipotence, Lawrence is even wondering how he can stand infront of such being. 

The being slowly turned its attention to Lawrence who got alarmed by it. It seemed to be aware that it was called making Lawrence's assumption correct. This being is indeed what he thought of.

Zet, one of the three primordials created during the Great Schift along with Radinthul and Diruulth. It was so insanely strong that it managed to seal both of his siblings while they were at their peak.

"Zet is intrigued. How you come to know of my existence is a mystery. It does not matter, Zet will now upheld the purpose for the being who created me" Zet talked calling itself by its name. 

"Son of Chaos, a being descended within the Ranvil Family, you will now obtain what is rightfully yours" Zet spoke mysteriously making Lawrence put his guard up. He doesn't understand most of what Zet is speaking.

He gave him a wary gaze before asking, "I know my father was an anomaly, however I didn't expect that the whole family is part of it. Can I know more about this?" Lawrence asked. He is seeking knowledge about this matter as it is too dangerous.

"Ranvil Family, a group of abomination hidden under the guise of a normal family. This group is 2nd party living in the Dark Tapestry alongside with Azathoth Family. Their strength is on par with them creating a natural balance within the Dimension of Understanding" Zet explained.

Lawrence was shocked hearing that, he was aware of things like Eldritch Beings as he read some Lovecraft story in his previous life. He just didn't expect that his family would be one of those abominations. He took a breath calming himself. "Am I the only one unaware of our true identity?" he asked.

"Negative for your brother has already unleashed his true capability. He is now doing carnage on his own. Only you two within your family has knowledge of your true state aside from your parents." Zet denied his question.

Lawrence could now somehow understand why he is still adamant on using his previous surname when he has a new one right now. He previously thought that he just dispised his new surname making him averse from using it but it seems like that wasn't the case.

He thought about his older brother Xander Ranvil, he used to think that he was a weird person but now his thoughts were confirmed. He is really an unstable being, a bomb threatening to explode any moment. 

Lawrence widened his eyes when he sensed a discomfort coming towards him, it was as if his heart was being clenched by something and is ready to pluck it off. Zet noticed his difficulties but chose not to interfere. The discomfort lasted for a whole minute.

"Huff.. huff.. huff, what was that?" He asked. He wasn't scared of it and was just annoyed. He has a feeling that he can destroy something like that in the future. 

"Avoid thinking of something of your brother, his true self just took a peek at this dimension. That was the cause of your discomfort" Zet explained controlling his mind state. He is already lucky that he is the personification of mind which is the reason why he didn't turn insane just now.

That phenomenon was already universe destructive. Lawrence feeling only discomfort was already amazing for him as Zet really felt like he was about to be destroyed just right now. He is aware that any person on Ranvil family is immune to madness as they are that concept itself.

"Tch, that damn bastard took the headstart" Lawrence cursed thinking of the smug face of his brother. Now he is getting irritated for even thinking about it. "Now let's proceed to the business at hand. How come you are here Zet?" Lawrence asked.

He is now adapting to being in the presence of Zet. Any of the awe he felt before vanished, he is now treating it as if it was a normal occurence. 

"All of the person within Ranvil family gained their powers because of their will. Your brother took upon it for himself to assume the existence of Takatou Yogiri for he admire his instant death ability and for you.." Zet stopped because it sensed that Lawrence already has an idea of it.

"Shit... I was obsessed of it in the previous life, is this the reason why you are the one handling me right now?" He shook his head cursing his obsession. When he thought about Takatou Yogiri, he couldn't help but envy his brother's choice.

Zet didn't mind Lawrence underestimating their world because he is aware that Takatou Yogiri is stronger than any of them in its world. "You will now obtain abilities within my world, it will be slow but you will eventually accumulate all of it. Zet is merely here to explain as that power is already inside you" Zet said.

Before Lawrence could even ask further, he blacked out waking up from his dream. He scratched the back of his head pretty pissed about the way things went. "Bea, hand me a glass of water" he ordered the maid homunculus.

Bea did what he ordered bringing a glass which he drank swiftly. He checked his body for anything unusual and when he saw nothing he began to be doubtful. He is wondering whether that dream was just merely a dream.

While he was thinking, his maid was confused to what those balls circling all around Lawrence. "Master" she called out to him. Lawrence snapped from his thoughts staring at Bea, "What's the matter?" He asked curious about what she wanted.

Bea didn't say anything and just pointed at something. Lawrence tilted his head before following her finger, he looked down and couldn't help but twitch his lips at what he saw. "Really now?" He muttered.

He touched the 3 yellow balls and felt comfortable touching them. He thought of the invoke ability on mind and somehow his body glinted before a certain spells entered his mind. 

The crazy thing is that he can now view the whole world within his mind. He was taken aback by such phenomenon, although he saw the whole globe right on his eyes, most of them are covered with dark layer hindering his sight on them.

Still that didn't stop him from using the spell. "Let's see, the mansion is visible so let's try it here" he said controlling his feeble mana and casting the spell. 

After a whole 1.7 seconds, the sound of something breaking entered Lawrence's ears. It was a high pitch sound that immediately took his attention. It didn't take long before the ground started shaking, probably from a thing hitting the ground with high speed.

Lawrence swiftly took a look at the window and was baffled at what he saw, half of the mansion was burned to cinders. Even the barrier couldn't protect the mansion from the intense force that hit it. "Shit.." he muttered as his body slowly dropped to the ground..

His mana was spent, he can't even stand anymore. Bea on his side quickly went to him and helped him return to the bed. The process was fast showing that this occurence is normal for them. 

Lawrence laid on the bed, even though he was exhausted from that action, the grin on his face still couldn't be hidden. This was probably the most satisfying thing he has ever done on his life. Breaking the treasured mansion of the Ruphas Family.

"That was great.. I want to do it more" he muttered before hearing a loud scream from outside. "Who dares to attack my house!!?" The angered voice of his father somehow soothed his heart, it was pretty calming seeing him raging like that. 

Lawrence is also confident that he won't be judge for the action because.. first, he is crippled, there is no way a cripple can do such huge magecraft like that. And second, he didn't use prana on casting that one. He instead use mana.

His mana and prana became one, he can control which one to use. He shook his head and decided that it was time to leave this house. Watching the world earlier made Lawrence intrigued to what it could give him, he is now excited about the thought of exploring it. "Game on, I'll surpass my brother" he grinned saying that.
