in an other world

odin open his eyes ,stands up feeling dizzy he touches his head trying to steady his vision ,to see a bare land with only a white castle in the horizon .

'system alert :you preformed too many rituals without having a foundation ,getting your soul exposed to ghostly radiant in a dangerous quantity ,the system issues a warning punishment "

"you are now vulnerable to any spiritual attack until you finish the issued task from this holographic dimension "

" warning added :the faster you finish your task the safer you are in the real world "

"tip: times goes differently ,5 hours here is 1hour in the original world"

"i didn't know about this" he lifted one brow quizzically

"that because you didn't read the rules "

i can only blame myself for this 'sigh',i'll make it a rule to always listen to the system, wait a minute i never heard the system voice before why now?!"

" all i can tell you that my presence will alert the power responsible of this world's balance and it will destroy me so i hid myself in this dimension "

he stands and start observing the surrounding and to simply describe everything is crimson both sky and land ,there was no moon nor stars nor sun but you can see clearly .only one place got a different color , and it was obvious that the white castle is my next destination .on his journey he decided to check the rules in the system while striding forward.

"Rules"

1.never expose the system no matter what/ penalty:death

2 .your body needs to be purified once a year using variety of suitable methods / penalty :depends

3 .cultivating is necessary performing rituals above the capacity you can manage with your cultivation / penalty: exposed to spiritual attacks and soul summoned to this dimension

'warning' the more you get summoned to the dimension the more danger you will be put under.

" such a gruesome mistake it would have cost my life' sigh' ,i shouldn't had treated this world as a game" .

the protagonist drew closer then he stopped as still as any statue when the castle was in full view .

it was glowing like a crystal had a bailey with a perimeter of sixty meters on all sides enclosed by towers, the parapets along the walls seemingly went on for infinitude and the massive door was embroidered with two dragon patterns and exquisite jewels and crystals.

the castle was beautiful beyond human creation,it stood to inspire awe in a realm. Odin's mind fell without notice in a bewitched state,yet his legs moved by themselves and walked toward it.

he's now standing in front of the door that an elephant can fit through before he reaches his hand to the door it opened by itself to show an empty town, walking through he notices that the shops and merchandise are available without their owner.

" initiate quest: the famous snow-white city got annihilated by a certain curse , find informations that belong to it so you can activate the main quest "

" and i'm supposed to search the whole city?? forget it let's head toward the castle first "

after 4 hours of walking he reaches the castle door panting , he tries to breach the gate open not to avail

" i guess i can' t get in unless i found the information , let's find a map first " finding it is so easy since i passed many book shops on the way

he went toward the most expensive looking store ,searching the reception counter he found it among a bunch of scrolls put in a basket .

"now where can i possibly find it, nobles district ?! Underworld headquarters ?! the only place stated in the map is the noble district i only need to find the most influential household "

"Crowley household "

a military family who's members are vicious and merciless ,getting many awards for the best contribution in wars for 10 generations .

following the maps coordination he set foot on the Crowley mansion .

in the other side , Odin's dad decided to beg help from the only guy in village who knows magic 'the healer' for that they might have to reveal the truth .

'knock knock' the healer who was about to put his head in the pillow heard an urgent knock at the door ,he stands up ,wears a coat then he went to open it

" that's you Fali what's the rush for ?! did something happen to Odin ?" he can't help but admit the peculiarity of that boy, he got a healthy body a kind courageous soul but fells into a coma that he can't pinpoint it cause or source behind it.

Fali nods

" come in , let me first prepare myself first"

"you don't have to ,i apologize but i don't know anyone who can help except you ,what i will tell you today i wish you can keep it a secret "

"do tell my friend i shall keep it a secret"

" my son Odin he's in grave danger , i got some magic artifacts from a great man when the first scarlet night odin went through came , you remember the prolonged 4 days ??!"

the old healer lifted his eyebrows at Fali in silent query .

"it's true , if it weren't for the facts that he was busy he would have took my son as a disciple right away ,but this is not important ,after the recent accident Odin didn't just not wake up yet but he's also targeted by ghosts ,me and my wife can't take it anymore ,the artifact can protect us but each day the attacks and the devilish whispers gets fiercer and clearer ,what if it breaks ?! i'm afraid that when the scarlet night comes it won't take it any longer"

"even if you say so ,how can i possibly be able to help my rank is too low to cast anything other then healing and some harmless light magic"

"you're a mage you must know someone who can help"

" i do indeed if i can ask the Monastery for help they would be able to help or hurt him if they deemed him evil , i can also send it to a friend of mine he might or might not accept but to send a message you'll have to pay for the scroll's price "

"i'll pay it"

a smile played at the corner of the healers mouth " oh dear ,i'm afraid you can't afford it "

" i'll pay it even if i had to exchange my soul" his voice held resolve , still a hint of worry sat on his brows , clenching his fist while taking a breath he continues " how much is it??"

" 50 gold coin ,even if you work your whole life you won't be able to obtain such amount , sorry my friend but i can't give it to you for free"

" how about this ,the artifact that man gave us i'll exchange it for the scroll ,it just you have to wait until the man comes back since it's the only thing that can keep Odin safe at the scarlet night .

" indeed ,obtaining such artifact is worth the wait ,ok i accept "
