27 Chapter 26 - Back home

I came back to class and after hearing the news that my sister was in the Empire, I directly asked for a plane to pick me up.

I left Dan all the equipment he needs and left college. I got in a car and it drove straight to the airport. I didn't even take the time to thank anyone and I headed to the boarding docks. My armor attracted too much attention so everyone was looking at me, it was extremely annoying but I kept moving. Arriving in front of the wharf, I flew to the 8th Continent.

I got off the plane and an armoured cars was already on the side. I got in there and she ran straight to the palace.

Arriving at the Palace, I saw a lot of things change but I didn't take care of it yet. I rushed into the elevator and went straight to my office. The door opened and a familiar silhouette appeared in my vision.

"If-Sister, are you alive?"

Agatha turned and looked at the individual with the armor with total confusion.

"Sorry, but who are you?"

Ash froze for a few moments before removing his helmet. Her head appeared, but no reaction from Agatha made her understand that she did not recognize him.

"I'm Tim, your little brother."

"Tim, but you died decades ago, it's impossible!" Agatha cried with shock.

"But I am Tim Agatha, and I am the emperor of this nation, which makes you a member of the royal family."

Agatha looked at Ash under shock, trying to understand. They chatted for several hours, until nightfall, talking about everything and nothing.

Ash awoke and asked Corta for the usual report.

| Hello Your Highness. Since your departure, the empire has advanced considerably. We have surpassed a population of 2M in the Empire and the entire south of the island and under our control. The army has made great strides, especially on equipment. We were able to equip all our soldiers in standard armor and with a weapon named XR-1. It is completely grey with a viewfinder directly integrated into the soldiers' helmet. We also set up the Pterodactyl Air Imperial. It consists of pterodactyls with metal armor and soldiers controlling them. Not to be underestimated because of their mobility. We also had a disturbing new asses of a hole appearing in a mine. There would be an infinite number of red dots resembling eyes inside. For more information please see JK-3389560032|

"Thanks Corta"

I thought long and hard about what I had to do next and then a system announcement interrupted my thoughts.

'Ding! The usual training will start again'

Wait what? But it's not at all -

< Training Room>

'First training, resistance to mental corruption'

After the last words of the system, a kind of presence tried to penetrate my mind. An excruciating pain made me tremble.

I woke up in the same place. A few seconds had just passed but decades passed in the training space.

I quickly got out of the palace and headed for the mysterious hole. When I arrived on site after 15 minutes of travel, I immediately noticed that the hole had black smoke all around. I got closer and found that countless red dots were staring at me.

Suddenly, a mechanical and organic voice uttered something.

¦The owner of a detected system....Opening procedure for the Saint Hole....System holder, please make good use of it to resist against.¦

The voice cut instantly, unable to continue his sentence. I quickly think of the last party that the voice just said.

Resisting something? Is there any connection to the temple?

While I was thinking, the inside of the hole could finally be discovered.
