Chapter 37: Arrogance Or Ignorance

A majority of the players stood shocked

"Isn't Valmus being too arrogant, just a few first clears and he thinks he's king of this Game!" A player complained audibly.

"Well... he's kinda not wrong you know, the high level guilds are usually aggressive during recruits, more so to players who don't want to join them." Another defeated pointing out an obvious flaw in the behavior of major guilds.

"True I remember Raava vanishing from the Gaming world after constantly refusing the advances of the Behemoths." Another pointed out a much darker side of the high level guilds.

As they discussed the High Guilds aggressive approach Valmus had long since entered the Forest and was currently reading the system notifications .

Valmus waved off the systems rewards and focused on his new Energy Source description.

"So it's higher than mana, refined Mana that is a level 400 reserve, Enhanced Mana is for level 200's while basic mana is used down untill level 100. So everything below level 400 will face increases damage," he grinned devilishly.

He pulled up the Information about the new item he had received.

"Well aren't you an interesting piece, but to have only five it would seem the system only wants me to experience at least one of each effect." He smiled as he stored it away.

He briefly took a calming walk as he cooled himself after the encounter woth Baldur, it wasn't time for him and them to clash not yet after all the stage wasn't ready yet.

He curiously pulled out information about his former Inventory the one that had evolved into a Stable Pocket world and was bound to him.

Currently Bound to Valmus.]

Valmus was dumb founded by the stats, mostly due to the broken abilities the Realm had that backed with it's over the top stats.

He stopped and opened the passage to the Pocket Realm and entered into his personal realm.

|Welcome Master Valmus.|

A sweet childish voice greeted him as soon as he stepped into the swirling portal of Gold.

The Will Of his Pocket Realm manifested in the form of an Ethereal spirit, it's humanoid form was neither male nor female, had no face and was to put it bluntly plain and weird.

"Do you have a name? Most realms and worlds have names?" Valmus questioned the youthful spirit that answered shortly after he asked.

|I do not have one since master has yet to give me one. I am master's possession nothing more nothing less.|

Valmus paused upon hearing the spirits reply, he felt a mix of pride to own such a construct but also a bittersweet feeling for it not having it's own free will.

"Tell you what, I'll name you but you'll have to express yourself a bit more. And as much as I am your master I can be so much more, a friend, a brother or a father. Do you agree?"

|Are you sure giving me so much free will is a smart choice?|

The will asked unsure of it's masters choice.

"I am, it's only fair for a sentient being to have free will. Besides I trust you Vitalis." He named a name that had a myriad of meanings depending on whoch spectrum you were viewing it from.

To some it meant life, to others it meant creation while to others ot meant beginnings. Valmus however saw it at it's full spectrum and hoped his young realm would experience the full spectrum of life as a sentinent being and not as a tool.

[[You have Named Your Bound Pocket Realm.

Your Pocket Realm has gained it's Individuality.

Your Pocket Realm has Evolved into a Peak Grade Realm.]]

Valmus smiled at the Notification as he watched the ethereal mass of white energy curl into a foetal position as ot was wrapped into a cocoon made of Divine Blood.

'Well isn't this a bit too extravagant! Even if I have a near endless supply of Divine Blood weren't there better alternatives? Who am I kidding what can top Divine Blood.' Valmus Lamented inwardly but on his face was a fulfilled smile.

After a few minutes the Cocoon of Gold begun shimmering before ultimately breaking apart and falling into threads of gold.

"Master!" The Will Of Vitalis called out. The Will now had a physical body which lost it's neutrality as it now had long locks of Golden hair with star shaped eyes, she was tiny standing at a height of five foot one.

She was adorable and dressed in a ruffled dress which was a mix of black, red and a dash of Gold.

"Hey Alice." Valmus greeted back opting to call her with a nickname.

"Is that my nickname? Alice. It's sound nice." She smiled timidly as everything was a new experience for the young Will of the Realm.

Valmus patted her head as he looked around, he was currently standing in the middle of space. He hadn't noticed before due to his mind being preoccupied but now, how the hell was he breathing?

"I wasn't sure where you wanted to land so I had you spawn in the Void of Space." Alice explained after she noticed his furrowing expression.

"Not sure? How big is your Realm?" Valmus asked curiously.

"As big as any Peak Grade Realm." Alice replied with a small smile.

"Take me inside." Valmus sighed as Alice nodded frantically.

He appeared in what many would call a paradise. Towering trees that reminded him of the Primal Forest Amazon, a large Expansive Ocean along with equally large mountains and ranges.

Deep valleys and lowland plains, ot was truly a paradise, that was if you ignored the Towering Corpses at the horizon which spewed fountains of Golden Blood.

"The Blood never ends, I've been absorbing it for a while now until I was saturated. I've even spread it out the realm but it still flows. I'm worried it might drown me." Alice voiced out her thoughts while fearfully staring at the Divine Corpses of Gods.

"Due to their overabundance of vitality, the excessive energy along with the seed of the world Tree Flora and Fauna naturally came to be.

This Realm right now has a lot of beasts descent from the Various Bloodlines of the Beast Gods and Immortal Beast Corpses you stored within me." She revealed to the dumb founded Valmus.

"How many beasts are we talking here?" He asked as his voice trembled.

"Millions." Alice smiled cutely.
