The Mapping Function

[Spiritual Sense (Rank 1) mastered. Mapping has been added to the system.]

Yale smiled after hearing the system's notification; he had spent more than a year practicing with his Spiritual Sense before being able to master it.

Yale went to check how his recently awakened Mapping function worked and found that it showed the information of all the maps he had seen, but only the area he had covered with his Spiritual Sense was shown clearly.

There was a clear difference between the information in a written map and the information he collected himself; the precision was utterly different. The Mapping only used the written maps information to have an approximation; the most trustful information was always the one obtained personally.

Furthermore, Mapping worked as a passive Spiritual Sense, in the area near him he was able to detect people, even discerning between allies and enemies. People who Yale had met before and who didn't have any conflict with him were marked as allies, others as unknown, and anyone with murder intent as an enemy, disregarding if Yale knew or not that person.

However, he wasn't able to know the exact identity without using the Spiritual Sense actively to check it.

The Mapping function was an excellent radar for traveling as Yale would be able to know any surprise attack without the need to continually use the Spiritual Sense.

After looking at how Mapping worked, Yale went to the Quest Menu to check the new sub-quest that had appeared after finishing the previous one.

[Reach 7-star Novice Rank. Reward: Legacy Skill.]

Yale didn't know how to feel looking at the new sub-quest, the reward was incredible, and the condition was something that he would do someday, but Yale felt that he would need too much time to accomplish it while looking at his current stats in the Stats Menu.

[Name: Yale| Age: 13| Origin Level: 12|Origin Points: 172/172]

[Vitality: 163| Strength: 175| Agility: 175| Intelligence: 200| Wisdom: 200| Dexterity: 188]

Yale had only managed to increase one star in the time he spent practicing to master his Spiritual Sense.

At the moment he had advanced, Intelligence and Wisdom maxed again due to his soul power, but the other stats turned more difficult to increase. In the end, Dexterity which was his lowest stat before, turned into the third-best stat thanks to the constant practice of Spiritual Sense.

Yale decided to stop thinking about the sub-quest. He would obtain it someday, but that day was still far away. 

At that moment, Yale just wanted to start his travel back to the Revgen Empire. He had been in an unknown location for Ange, Swordmad, and the others for an extremely long time.

When Yale told Oscro and Julie about his intentions to leave, both had totally different reactions.

Julie simply smiled and wished for a good trip to Yale, but Oscro was shocked. He wasn't expecting that someday Yale would leave; the company wasn't like when it was founded and needed to rely on Yale. Even if he left Trade City there wouldn't be too much impact, but Oscro had assumed that Yale would still there enjoying the good life of being a founder of a diamond-ranked company.

After speaking with both of them, Yale used his badge to contact Tar because he didn't plan to cross the whole Zuatania Republic. Yale would use a portal to the city nearest to the border with the Anpaes Kingdom. 

There was still some distance until the border from there, but Yale would save a lot of time since Trade City was at the opposite extreme of the Zuatania Republic.

Yale went to the teleportation portal inside the merchant's association headquarters that same day, he didn't plan to inform anyone else about his departure nor delay it more.

The only ones who went to say goodbye to him were Tar, Oscro, Julie, and the elder who Yale had met in the port and had taught him the fundamentals of forging.

"Thank you for all. I hope we will meet again someday."

Yale really hoped to meet with them again in the future. He liked Trade City a lot, but he couldn't be away from the Revgen Empire any longer. After all, the journey back would be long and his status in the eyes of everyone there was that of a disappeared person.

"You must return. At that time our company will already be the best of Trade City. We started the company together, so you must return to celebrate it."

Oscro was serious with his words, his meeting with Yale changed his future, and he was dedicated to making the company reach the highest position in the city.

"Don't worry Yale. Even if Oscro can't do it, I will turn the company into the best one. Furthermore, I will ensure that no one will forget you and Wyba until your return to Trade City."

When Oscro said it, it seemed a normal promise with high expectations that wouldn't be fulfilled. The company was already at the top, but turning the best company in the city wasn't easy to accomplish even for them. However, when Julie said it, Yale felt that probably the Thousand Frost Wolves Company would really reach the number one position in Trade City before he returned.

"Yale, you must return after becoming stronger. I will ensure that you will have a chance to use our precious ship to go to the other side of the ocean. Once you return from there, I want to hear the stories about your adventures."

The elder himself had only dreamed about what existed on the other side of the ocean, but he had never felt confident in his battle prowess to survive, it was far too dangerous after all, but he thought that Yale would return to Trade City with enough power to go to the other side of the sea and return.

"That isn't something you can promise alone, but well if Yale wants to use the ship after returning, I will let him use it."

Tar laughed after finishing speaking; he was certain that Yale would be strong enough to travel to the other side of the ocean in the future. The elder's authority alone wasn't enough to let someone use the ship, but Tar's authority was more than enough.

"Don't forget that thing I asked you before."

Yale had asked Tar to give some things to the kid in the village where he awakened some memories. Yale didn't forget that he wanted to help that little kid, but the kid was still too young, and Yale didn't know when will return, so he entrusted Tar with the work.

"Don't worry; I won't forget it."

To Tar that was a small matter and he didn't even need to do it personally, there were a lot of people in the association to handle those small matters.

After hearing Tar's words, Yale turned and entered the portal without saying anything more.

After Yale disappeared into the portal, everyone returned to their normal activities.

Julie returned to her room and sighed.

"This is all I can help you with. I am not strong enough to travel together with you. I am sorry,  master, but I know my limits, and I can't help him more. At least I will ensure that Yale will have a place to return."

Julie was surprised when she saw Yale's sword for the first time although she hadn't shown it on her face.

She also knew very well that sword, and she also knew Yale's true identity since that moment.

Before becoming famous in Trade City, Julie had traveled in order to make money and improve her life, but in the end, she didn't live any merchant life at that time as everyone thought.

Julie just found a legacy, and there she obtained a lot of knowledge and abilities. Those abilities weren't only for battle, they were also for business, and how to use words to control people, that part suited very well her personality.

The legacy she had found while traveling was Zuatania's legacy. Thus, she was Zuatania's legacy disciple and could be considered Tar's younger apprentice sister due to it, but she made that fact remain a secret by Zuatania's orders.

Zuatania had also told her that by accepting the legacy, she had also accepted helping the owner of that sword, so she had told her a bit about Yale's past life. However, all that knowledge was impossible to transmit to others, even a mere remnant of Zuatania was able to force a contract into someone as weak as Julie.

Zuatania wanted that her legacy disciple was someone who would help Yale in his new life in her place, that was the main reason she left a legacy and used the same method as Tofesh to seal it until Yale's soul reappeared in the world.

A soul-bound item was the only way to determine if someone had reincarnated or not, as the item would react when the soul reappeared.

Zuatania had asked Tofesh for a synchronized token to activate when the Space-time Judgment Sword reacted. She asked for it before her soul started to dissipate, her original intention was to look for Yale immediately disregarding where he was, but she had to change her plans after her soul began to dissipate.

Julie liked Yale's personality and wanted to help him since before knowing he was the one her master told her to help. Her personality was similar to Zuatania's, and that was the reason she was able to obtain the legacy.
