Chapter 35: Artifacts...

Year 18, Day 15

"Like I thought my magic was only mimicking what I assumed was magic on earth." The reason for me to reach that conclusion was because I experimented with it.

[Supreme Crown] doesn't possess the drawbacks of the magic on earth, which are bad luck and health problems, and I also do not pay any price for some major spells.

When I ask the system, Why is that?, it responds with, [Magic on Earth is a scarce resource due to the Universal Laws limiting its use, but the system is above those laws]

{Pretty cool response, not gonna lie}

[Thank you]

"....."

__________________________________________

Year 20, Day 5

I've been practicing using magic without chanting, and it had an interesting result.

{Move...move}

*Fiiiith*

*Crash*

(Sigh)

Apparently, without using any chant, it is like using raw, infinite, and uncontrollable energy to do something for you.

The result: either it gets destroyed or it gets erased from existence.

"I need to practice more..."

___________________________________

Year 24, Day 19

"Only six more years, huh?"

I've been enjoying my stay here; I woke up, hunted, ate, practiced magic, and crafted some things, and I will do that all over again tomorrow.

{I know this can't continue forever; I have people to care for, promises to honor, and a world to take care of}.

_______________________________________

Year 27, Day 267

*Crash*

*Giaghh*

An animal like Tiger was getting tossed here and there like he was made out of paper, crashing into trees and rocks; it doesn't matter where he couldn't stop it.

*Fiiith*

*Crash*

*Rawwrg*

Finally, after hitting the ground hard, he could no longer move; he was dead.

*Creack*

From the forest, a man wearing a blue robe with grey gloves, grey boots with golden runic inscriptions, and a dark mask with a blue hood with the same golden runic patters steps out.

"Finally, death, you cost me many sleepless nights."

You can't recognize his voice; it overlaps with the voices of many creatures, but you can still make sense of what he was saying.

He approached the animal, and with a flick of his hand, the creature separated itself—bones, skin, innards—it was grotesque, but he didn't even flinch.

"At least your body had good materials."

[Name: Isaac Kent (lvl. 56)]

"Hmm, I leveled up, right? I had a quest from you."

**********

In a clear part of the forest, an extraordinary camp was there; it had a studio, a kitchen, a bedroom, an anvil, and even an alchemy room. It looks like it doesn't belong here.

Coming back to my camp, I went directly to the kitchen. I put the meat on my homecrafted fridge, and the rest I put in some racks to dry.

{Hmm, I finally have more control over the system magic; it's still a little rough, but it will improve} I took a seat on one of the chairs in my studio.

"Two more years; I'm starting to miss them, hah."

[Arcane Cloak: Cover your hands in raw energy (increase spell damage by 30%) (last 10 minutes, cool down 5 minutes)]

{Interesting...}

~{I don't need Levitation, so thats out. Hmm, what is Arcane Ward?} ~

[Arcane Ward: Use raw magic to protect yourself (decrease spell damage by 50% and physical damage by 30%).

[Cooldown 1 second]

{Ok, is decided then, I choose Arcane Distortion, Arcane Cloak, and Arcane Ward}

[Confirmed]

"Lastly, the thing I was waiting for a long time, the artifacts..."

[Generating Available Artifacts]

 

[Wheel of Elements (Mythical)] (2,000,000

[Eye of Magnus (Mythical)] (3,000,000

[Solomon Ring(Mythical)] (4,000,000)

[Staff of Domination (Mythical)] (5,000,000)

"F**k"

{Those are some expensive pieces of equipment}

~{I guess they are worth the price.}~

"Let me see the stats of all of them."

[Solom Ring: The mythical ring of a king that managed to bind all the demons in hell. (Ancient Covenant: allows the user to ask for a hell assistant once per day without paying any price)]

[Eye of Magnus: The mythical globe-like eye of the first Mage God] [Magic Generator: The artifact generates raw magic that can be used once per day (empowers any spell by 1000%)]

[Wheel of Elements: A mythical artifact created by the Elemental King for his son (Elemental Buff: Once every hour you can spin the wheel, and depending where the arrow lands is the element that will buff) (Increase Elemental Damage by 200%)]

[Staff of Domination: The curse mythical artifact gifted to the most loyal of subjects (Blessings of Molag'Baal: Increase Spell, Physical, and Elemental Damage by 100%)] (Soul Eater: Can increase the effects permanently by consuming 10% of souls.)

"Wow, indeed worth the price, but I can see clear disadvantages too. The Solomon ring and the eye of Magnus are artifacts that even Gods will want, so be better prepared to be haunted all your life."

"As for the wheel of elements, if the arrow lands in an element that you don't have, the spin is wasted, but it also doesn't say that I need to spin every time I use it."

"As for the Staff, it is an evil artifact, and I don't want to have the Lords of Order and the Justice League dark up my ass."

"So the choice has been made; I would like to purchase the Wheel of Elements."

[Confirmed]

In front of me, a giant wheel appeared. It was made out of what I think is obsidian, and it was carved in detail. The carves represent the elements and their runic names.

In the middle of the wheel, it had a long arrow made out of the same material as the wheel.

[Would you like to bind the Wheel of Elements to you?]

"Huh? Ahm, yes?"

[Confirmed]

Suddenly the wheel started to shine, and little by little it began to transform into dust that was coming straight to me.

*Arrgggh*

I could feel my soul getting carved by something, then it stopped.

[Soul Binding Complete]

"F**k, thanks, I guess"


Chapter 36: I'm back...

In a private residence in Tampa, Florida, an interdimensional door was open, and from within, a man wearing a robe, a mask, and a hood walked out of it.

Immediately, his cellphone started to get notifications.

"Hmm? Ah, from mother and Clark."

Checking his messages, he replied to them with an apology for not communicating all these days, blaming the bad reception.

After that, he took off his outfit and took a long bath.

{I'm home...}

*******************

It took me three days to put everything in order, and like Matthew said, S.T.A.R. Labs was doing great, meaning he was making more profit, which he was reinvesting in some other businesses.

Now that I'm resting from all the training, I have also been thinking about one of the artifacts as an idea to make something that will make a negotiation easier.

******

{Nayru}

~Oh, Hi, Master~

{How are things in Azarath?}

~Everything is fine. Ah, Raven, ask if you're back on Earth already.~

{Yes, tell her that next week I will go to Azarath}

~Yey!, I mean, got it!~

{See you later}

~{Ha,ha,ha}~

~Yes, Master~

"Hmm, well, now I need a lab or a workshop."

*Ring* *Ring*

*Click*

"Oh, hello, sir, what can I do for you?"

"Mathew, I need a workshop; find me one; the more private, the better."

"Understood, time?"

"Two weeks"

"I got it; I will tell you, sir, when it is done."

"Thank you"

*Click*

{Now I need to visit a detective}

In the office of Detective Chimp

"Mister Isaac, what can I do for you?"

Now the office was a lot better than before; it had a better desk, chairs, and air conditioner.

"I need to find a place, but I want you to be very discreet about it; after all, their residents are dangerous people."

"Hmm, any references?"

"All I know is that they hide themselves somewhere in Turkey."

"They?"

"They called themselves [the hidden ones]..."

**********

At the end, he agreed to do the job for a hundred million, which is pretty cheap in my opinion, but according to him, it was "just poking around".

The death line is a month—enough time for me to find a workshop and make the machine.

For the next few days, I just read, practiced martial arts, went running, and ate.

*****

Today is the day of my visit to Azarath. I double-checked all my souvenirs and put my new set of equipment, minus the mask.

"[Kèter'elyon]"

"[En aquest lloc i en aquesta hora, invoco el Poder Antic, Obre la porta a través del temps i l'espai, Creo un camí cap a un altre lloc]"

A regal gold portal appeared in my living room.

When I passed through it, I saw some guardians, but I don't recognize them.

"Guardian Isaac?"

"Yes"

"Madam Azar is waiting for you in her studio."

"I see, thank you."

He just smiled and left.

I walked through the streets of Azarath to go to the Main Temple, where the studio of Arella resided.

{No matter how many times I see it, it's always surreal} As I'm walking, I also look at the sky and people around me.

*Giggle*

"Ha,ha,ha"

"Luke, come here..."

Seeing all the children playing peacefully and the adults without worry is relaxing, but I know that this peace will not last.

I hurried my pace to the main temple, trying not to have negative thoughts.

*Knock*

*Knock*

"Come in..."

*Creack*

*Click*

Like always, Arella was reading an arcane book.

"Hi, Arella, How are you doing?"

"..."

"How long did you spend there, Isaac?"

"What!, Why?"

~{Is something wrong?, I don't feel different}~

"That innocence of a little boy is gone."

{Huh?}

"You're a man now."

"Ahm, I was already a man."

(Giggle)That's not what I meant; it's in your eyes, in your voice. You fought and grew so much, I doubt it was only a couple of months, so how much?"

(Sigh)"...Thirty years"

"Isaac, why would you do that?" A trace of melancholy was in her voice.

"I needed time to understand my magic, my abilities, and myself."

(Sigh)Well, for what is worth, welcome back, Isaac."

"Thank you, Arella. "

*********

*Nom* *Nom* *Nom*

~Yummi~

I'm in Raven's room, and my companion is eating some of the souvenirs that I brought for her.

*Poke* *Poke* *Poke*

*Nom* *Nom*

Raven is poking the squirrel-like cheeks that Nayru had by shoving that much food in her tiny mouth.

"I'm glad that both of you are getting along pretty well."

"Why wouldn't we?"

"Ahm...good question"

*Stare*

"Look, I brought you this, little sister."

From my inventory, I pulled out a necklace. The chain was gold, and it also had a light red with some hues of yellow, black, white, and orange colored gems in the middle.

"It's called Twilight."

*Sparkle Eyes*

"Is.. beautiful.. I mean, thank you, Isaac."

"You're welcome"

*Gulp*

~Is pretty~

"Come on, put on."

*Stare*

She started to stare at my hands, and I understood.

{She wants me to do it. What a cute little sister!}

"Come here"

*Tap* *Tap* *Tap*

She shyly approached me while keeping her head down.

{I guess I'm the only male model for her, well, until she meets the titans}

When she came in front of me, I pulled his hood down, and with a single move, I turn her around gently with my hands.

"Hold your hair."

She did as I told her; with her hands, she held her medium-long, dark purple hair.

"There, hold still."

I unlocked the necklace, then put it on around her neck and immediately locked it afterwards.

"There you go."

She let her hair fall, then she started to touch the gem in the middle.

"I feel some kind of power from it."

"Correct, it's called the Blessing of the Twilight, thus the name of the necklace."

"What does it do?"

"In short, it amplifies your magic power and increases your mental defense."

"..!?"

"Where...did you find it?" She stammered her words.

"I made it for you."

"What!?" She screamed loudly.

*Tap* *Tap* *Tap*

"What happened, Raven!? Are you okay!?" Here comes her mother.

*Blush*

"I'm sorry, mom, I..."

(Sigh)Let me explain, Arella..."

After a couple of minutes of me explaining the current situation, she finally understood why Raven screamed.

"Well, indeed, I would also scream if I were in her place; what you made is something very valuable, Isaac."

"Nothing is more valuable than my sister's safety."

*Blush* "I...I..." She hid her face in her hood.

(sigh)Ok, I'm leaving."

"Wait, Arella. I had something for you too."

"Eh?"

*************

After my little visit to Azarath, I came back to my house in Florida, and a couple of days later I received a call from Matthew.

*Ring*

*Click*

"Sir, the workshop building has been bought and is in good condition for you."

"Very well, thank you, Mathew."

"No problem, sir."

"Where is it located?"

"Boston"

"Perfect"
