It was too much to hope that the Survivalists never figured out that Ves had technically become a phase lord.
He didn't even know how he was supposed to explain how he ended up this way.
Should he tell them that he stole and adapted an orven ritual to transform himself?
How would he be able to avoid mentioning the System's role in vastly increasing the success rate of this sketchy procedure?
Then there was the tribulation lightning that rained down upon him for an awfully long time. It undoubtedly contributed to his successful transformation, but he did not have the faintest clue why that was the case.
Unfortunately for Ves, Master Goldstein's tone made it clear that there was no way he could reject this 'invitation'.
"Oh well. At least it is scheduled on the sixth day. I don't have to worry about it for a while." He shrugged.
Ves was confident that the Survivalists valued him enough to prevent him from getting arbitrarily detained.
