"Thank you for all your help!"
I wave at the people who decide to escort us into the sea. To not make them panic about us disappearing, we decide to take a ship to Nirva Island and take a bigger ship to the Northern Continent.
The entire people of Sol-Falena watch as our ship departs from the capital city.
"Let's meet again!"
"Take care of my aunt, Gerrald!"
"Make sure to bring babies when you return!"
I can only smile at the last one. Haswar is a blunt person and will say anything she wants to say. I laugh a little when I see Freyjadour and Lymseia try to talk to their oldest aunt about decency.
"Ah, I am going to miss them."
I look to the side and see Sialeeds, wearing the modern clothes that the company provides me after admitting them as my companions, and lean over my shoulder.
"Me too. Freyjadour is a great kid, and I will also miss the others."
"Yeah. While it was hectic, we still had a great time together. Drinking, eating, and laughing together is something that I will miss."
"Don't worry. You can see them once again, you know? We only need to stay away for a month or two before returning."
Nikea walks between us and puts her arms around our shoulders.
"Gerrald is right, sister! We can visit them whenever we want!"
Ah, right. Nikea starts to call Sialeed's sister because, I quote, 'We are sharing one man! That means we are Pole Sisters!'.
Pole Sisters is a term from the New Armes Kingdom where two or more women share one man. The opposite, called Pole Brothers, can also happen where two men share one woman. It looks like the New Armes Kingdom did not care about this kind of relationship as long as the people involved can stay in harmony.
"You are right, Nikea." Sialeeds smiles a little and nods her head. "It is not like we cannot visit them."
I shake my head and look at Chiyome, who is bringing us some food. Seeing her, the three of us walk back to our room to enjoy the food. As we take a seat on the chair, Sialeeds looks at me and says.
"What kind of world do we visit?"
I look at her and say.
"Truthfully, I don't know. I have yet to get to the world we need to go to. Do you want to see what kind of world we get?"
I take out my phone and open the World Jumping app. Sialeeds, Nikea, and Chiyome walk toward me to look at my phone. I press the roll button, but instead of getting a list of worlds, we appear in the middle of a room.
I blink for a second before looking at the woman in front of me, who looks at us with a small smile. She is wearing what looks like a nun outfit but a revealing kind of nun outfit.
"Welcome! It is nice to finally see you, Agent RY-245-J. My name is Da'ar Vu'ur, and your manager."
I blink for a second and say.
"It is nice to meet you."
"Please take a seat and let me explain the reason why I call you here."
I nod and take a seat in front of her while my companion stands behind me.
"Usually, I don't call an agent to my workplace, but you have the perfect thing for a mission I have in mind."
"A mission?"
"That's right. Before you go to your next world, I want to give you a mission."
She took out a piece of paper, and I read it.
"The mission is to heal a planet in a familiar world. This world is where one of your companions comes from."
I look at Chiyome and let her continue.
"Gaia and Alaya contact this company in desperation. Usually, Gaia contacts nearby Celestial Bodies like Mercury or Mars. However, in their desperation, they manage to contact one of the Patrons of our Company."
"Patron… I remember reading that. Who is it?"
She smiles and says.
"One of the traveling Great Old One."
"If I know correctly, Gaia and Alaya hate an outsider, right?"
"And that is why I said that it was a desperation. They are willing to make a deal with an outsider."
She took another piece of paper for me to read and continue.
"As you know, Nasuverse is one of the most profitable worlds in our company. They have many resources that we want. They might not have the strongest power output in the company, but they have something that makes them dangerous. They dwell in concept. You cannot kill Superman with brute force, but you can kill him using the conceptual attack."
"I understand the reason why the company wants to clear this mission, but why me? I did not think that I had anything to heal a freaking planet."
She smiles and touches my forehead.
"You have one here."
"The Sun Rune?"
"That's right. Sun Rune is one of the twenty-seven True Runes. They are the ones that create the universe of Suikoden, the world where you are coming from. Sun Rune has the power over Life and Destruction. Use that rune to heal the planet, and the reward is yours. Usually, we give this kind of mission to someone with more experience, but you have something that can easily complete this mission."
Her smile gets bigger, and she says.
"The reward of healing the planet is one hundred points, and you will get a bonus of one IMG ticket that lets you buy something powerful."
She extends her hand and says.
"What do you think? Will you take this mission?"
I look at her hand for a second before grabbing it.
"I will take the mission."
"Great! You will be teleported there in fifteen minutes from now on. You can spend your points to buy power or something to prepare. You can do it here and ask me anything you want to ask while you are preparing."
I nod and turn on my phone. I quickly go to the talent section and buy another template stacking, costing me forty points. It hurts, but it is good enough for me to buy Orsted the Dragon God.
After I pressed confirm, my surroundings disappeared, and I was standing in the middle of a void. I am the strongest. I am the Dragon God. I am the sworn enemy of Hitogami, the usurper. I am Orsted, the Dragon God.
However, I am also Gerrald, the Core, and Chrodechild, the Knight Leader of Blades of Night's Veil. Orsted is a new part of me; Gerrald, same as Chrodechild, is part of me.
When I opened my eyes, I released a small frown as the Orsted part of me did not like the state of my being. I am the shadow of him as my body is weak, and my mana is small. The only upside that makes Orsted happy is that I can regenerate mana faster than him.
"How is it? Experiencing your first-time template stacking."
I look at my manager and say.
"It was something else. I cannot put it into words."
"That it is. Go ahead. You still have time and points to spend."
I nod and look at my phone once again. I think for a second before taking another template stacking and spending sixty points, and this time, I take Satoru Gojo. Once again, I appeared in the void, but this time, I could see a black hole in the distance.
Who am I? Oh, right. I am the strongest. I am the one standing on top of this world. I have no limit. I can be outsmarted. I can be defeated. But I cannot be surpassed. My name is Satoru Gojo, the greatest sorcerer that ever lived.
However, Satoru Gojo is not only me. It is a part of me. He is a piece of my being.
I open my eyes, but before I can do that, a hand and not a hand closes my eyes.
"Deactivate your Six Eyes. You will die if you see this room."
Satoru Gojo tells me not to obey her word, but I know better and push that voice away. I deactivate my eyes, and the hand releases me.
"Good. Anything else? You have a minute."
I nod and buy one last thing. With only nineteen points left, I decided to buy [Communication Talent] perk for ten points. With that being done, I look at her and say.
"I am ready."
"Good. Good luck, and have fun."
A second later, a white color engulfed my vision.
