Chapter 63

The mood is tense. Because Fay dropped by and she is commanding an army of one thousand men.

She was going to subjugate the monster I just killed for dinner. Who knew that monster would be so dangerous?

I just killed it because it looked tasty. And now she is suspicious of me. True that no human being alive is as strong as me. I often forget about that.

A mistake on my part. But now Hazel and Eden are also suspicious of me.

What should I do? I ponder while Aura is preparing the dinner.

I taught her how to cook after all. She has gotten better at cooking.

(Clive….)

I heard a familiar voice. This voice can only mean one thing.

(Master?)

(Why are you calling me master?)

(Because it would be easier for others to understand. You are the one who taught me everything I know. Hence master.)

(I am coming there.)

(Eh…. I thought you wouldn't come.)

(I have to. Be prepared.)

And she cut it off. But why is System or master coming here?

"Honey, why are you so pale?" (Aura)

"Well, master contacted me. She is coming here."

Aura temporarily froze. But soon composed herself and kept preparing dinner.

"Is your master coming?" (Fay)

"Yes. Though she doesn't go out much, she is coming here. That's a big surprise."

I was talking to Fay while Eden was staring at Aura.

Probably still confused. Hazel is looking at me for some reason.

I have to play it cool. This dream should be over once we have dinner.

"Clive, you've become sloppy."

A cold voice. It almost froze my soul. I didn't even turn to see who it was as I already know.

Fay and the others are frozen still. Aura is trembling.

"Master, don't drop in so suddenly. My heart almost stopped."

This is not funny. If she hadn't informed me beforehand, I would have done something weird.

I turn around. And I got the same feeling as I did the first time I met her.

"Master, why are you here?"

"Can't I come to check on my disciple? I came here to inform you about something but first, get your real body here." (Master)

"My real body? But what about my job?"

"Don't ask too many questions. I told you to come out here so do that. I have everything under control." (Master)

I guess it'll be fine. But Aura seems to be wary of her.

"Don't be so on guard. I told you, as long as he lives, he is yours. But after he perishes, he will be mine." (Master)

"What kind of agreement is that master? Did you have an agreement with Aura about something?"

I rather not poke that bee hive. It'll only sting. Aura gave me a good glare and heaved a sigh.

As for Hazel, Eden and Fay, they are utterly confused. Something weird is happening but they can't describe it well.

But I do as master said. I go to the basement of the cave. Well, it is a cave but it is still a house. So I should call the lowest floor the basement.

Now I transfer my consciousness into my real body and absorb my body double.

And I unhinge the links. These are mana links which are so concentrated that you can touch it.

Normally, it should be impossible to do that unless I have permission from the administrator. Which is currently master. And the planet is still alive.

So I think I have nothing to worry about. I go outside and Aura gave a me a concerned look.

"Why that look? Is something wrong?"

"No. It's just that you are even more powerful than before." (Aura)

"Really? I don't feel anything different."

Honestly, I don't feel anything different. But when I look at Hazel and Eden and Fay, it became clear.

They are clearly terrified. So I lowered my power output. I put a lid on my power.

"Master, why are you here?"

"Because this stupid disciple of mine is doing something weirdly wrong. I sent you here to experience one of the possible futures. But here you are, totally making it your own." (Master)

"Eh…. I was just living like I normally would."

"And that's your problem. Your adaptability is so high that nothing seems to surprise you. Let's just force you out of this." (Master)

"Eh…my dream is already over?"

"Yes. It is one of the infinite possibilities. You can't just dwell in this one. Where everyone settles down is no fun. You need to stay indifferent or it won't be fun." (Master)

"Hey mast….."

And that was it. I could move. But I couldn't speak and I was thrown into a pitch black darkness. This is reminiscent of the first time I met System.

"Clive, get up."

I heard that cold voice. But I wasn't intimidating like before. I normally looked up and I found her. As beautiful as always but why does she look a little bit more charming than before.

"Clive, you have grown. You can think straight and you can even have those kinds of thoughts while looking at me. I see. You are almost there. After this, no one in this world will be able to stand in your way." (System)

"So just by dreaming, I got stronger. But what exactly is <Spirit >?"

"Just know that this is nigh omnipotence. You can do anything. Bending the natural laws is just a side effect of your being too powerful." (System)

"So can I know your name?"

"That comes even later. Don't let it get to your head. I said that in this world you are invincible. That doesn't mean you are totally invincible. After this, you will be thrown into a new world where you will be the same as a newborn." (System)

"That's pretty harsh. So can I wake up now?"

This is getting too long. I need to wake up and finish my tasks and move on.

"I know. Just know that they will also get stronger. And I mean all of them." (System)

"Even Fay?"

"She has already accepted that she is a part of your team. So she will be considered a member of your genealogy as well." (System)

"Genealogy? Am I making my own race or something?"

"You are. Now chop chop. (System)

She shooed me away and next thing I know is that I am looking at my ceiling.

So it all ended so let's begin. The annihilation of Duke Martin and leaving this planet. But I would love a vacation as well.
