I was back at the library and armory.
[Thank you, seeker, for your contribution in this emergency. As promised, an additional reward will be given.]
"Thank you"
[Now, seeker, you can choose two skillbooks in the library to your right and two pieces of equipment from the armory to your left.]
"Ahm, what about the additional reward?"
[Originally, you would only be able to choose one from each side.]
"I understand." I moved to the library first.
On the bookshelves were many wierd skillbooks, for example, a skillbook called [Create Fogg]. As his name indicated, its only use was to create fogg.
So I searched for useful skills for me.
[Ghost Flame (Soul Damage, 3 Second Cooldown)]
[Grand me Strength (Buff Physical Strength by 50%, 10 minutes Cooldown, Duration: 5 minutes)]
[Solaris (Flame Damage, 4 Second Cooldown)]
[Aspect of the Dragon God (Buff Physical Damage, Magic Damage, and All Resistances by 40%, 5 Minute Cooldown, Duration: 3 Minutes)]
[Lighting Strike (Lighting Damage, 5-second Cooldown)]
[Dragons Roar (Stunn/Sound Damage, 5 Second Cooldown)]
[Blood Thorns (Physical Damage)]
{These are the ones that got my attention the most}
The most bizarre one was Blood Thorns with no cooldown whatsoever, but I suspect it has something to do with the name of the skill.
"I guess the first one I want to choose is going to be [Aspect of the Dragon God], and as for the second one, I'm torn between [Ghost Flame] and [Blood Thorns], hmm..."
~{I'm more intrigued by the zero cooldown skill}~
"Ok, [Blood Thorns], it is."
[Understood seeker, now please select the pieces of equipment]
"Got it." I grabbed the two skillbooks, and then I proceeded to the armory to the left.
Right away, I was blown away by the quality and design of the equipment here. As a fellow craftsman, I can quickly recognize really good work.
"Impressive collection you have here, tower..."
[Thank you, seeker].
{Hmm, what am I missing equipment-wise?}
I saw the racks filled with swords, wands, staffs, robes, and other stuff.
A few more rings and a pair of gloves will be good.
After a couple of minutes, I indeed found what I was looking for.
[Ring of the Lykan] (unique)
[Eternal Ring](Artifact)
[Ring of Shooting Stars] (artifact)
[Ring of Telekinesis] (unique)
{Hmm, I can't see a description, but I can imagine what their effects are.}
"Let me see the gloves too."
[Spellslinging Gloves](Unique)
[Sseeth's Gloves](Artifact)
[Gloves of Auras] (unique)
[Gloves of Subtle Casting] (Rare)
"Alright, let's pick the [Ring of Telekinesis] and the [Sseeth's Gloves]."
[Very well, seeker...]
The ring and gloves appeared before me, and suddenly I was transported somewhere else.
"Ugh, a little warning before doing that..."
I looked around me, and I noticed that I was in the previous room where that arch-mage was messing with something.
In the middle, I saw the purple crystal, but now it had little cracks all over the surface.
[I apologize, seeker, but there's something that needs your participation.]
{I know, after all, the last part of my quest isn't complete yet}
"Oh, and what could that be?"
[Due to the recent incident, the tower sustained serious damage. The dimensional anchor has been compromised, so I request your assistance]
"Hmm...sure, what can I do?" I looked at the purple crystal.
~{So that's the dimensional anchor}~.
[The tower has been left without a proper owner for about 2 thousand years, and without one, the tower relied on the dimensional anchor to not drift into the interdimensional planes, so please seeker become the owner, and you will be rewarded.]
{Good, this is better than what I imagined}
"Sure, tell me what I need to do."
[Approach the dimensional anchor in the middle and put your hands on it. After that, circle your magic through it.]
"Got it," I did as I was told.
The more I approached the crystal, the more I could feel the magic that this crystal contained.
{If this thing blows up, it could destroy an entire planet}
Finally, I reached the crystal, and slowly, I put my hand on it.
[Foreign object detected, analyzed...]
[Permission granted...]
[Bonding Tower of Knowledge to the User... complete]
I could feel something poking through my mind, and I saw the crystal being repaired quickly.
[Congratulations, Master, the link has been established.]
"So now I'm your master?"
[Correct]
{Good}
[Quest Complete: commencing transferring...]
From the ground, I saw the familiar door.
{Time to go home}

When my vision recovered, I was in my living room, and in front of me was the quest panel.

"Good, then I guess I need to buy a plot of land, maybe even an island."
Tampa, Florida, Primary Resident...

Me and Matthew were in my house discussing my plan to buy an island.
"Yes, yes, I can, sir.(Mathew)
"Good, now how's business?"
"Everything has been running smoothly since our deal with Lex Corp.; the constant harassment from the government has disappeared, and thanks to that, we are moving forward in our acquisition and investment of our targeted companies." (Mathew)

"Will do, sir..."(Mathew)
"Well, if nothing else..."
"Yes, sir, I will contact you when I get news." (Mathew) He stood up and left.
"Got it"
____________________________________________
The next day...
"Interesting development in Gotham; apparently crime rates have been dropping constantly each week. The commissioner said that is for the great police work, but others had something to say. More tonight at ten o'clock." (News Anchor)
"He really is working hard..."
I was in my living room watching TV when a preview of tonight's news was announced.
~{Batman is working fast in Gotham, catching criminals and busting drug deals}~
Suddenly...
*Rumble* *Rumble*
Everything began to shake a little, then it stopped.
{Hmm!?, earthquake?}
"Wierd, it was natural or..."
"Breaking news! Metropolis suffered a massive earthquake. The police and fire department have begged the people to stay calm." (News Anchor)
"Clark"
After a couple of hours, new developments were reported by the chief of police of Metropolis.
"Luckly, the damage was only material; there were no casualties." (Chief of Police)
"He helped in secret, why?, and more importantly, if this doesn't make him put up the costume, what will?"
********************
It's been a couple months since the incident in Metropolis, and as I expected rumors started to circulate on the internet.
"I'm a survivor of the earthquake in Metropolis, and let me tell you, the rumors are true. I was in my basement when all of that happened, and when my basement collapsed, I was transported outside my house along with my family. Someone or something saved us that day." (Anonymous)
I confronted Clark a couple of weeks ago.
"Did you do it?"
"You need to be more specific, Isaak" (Clark)
"Come on, Clark, Metropolis, earthquake, you need more?"
"I don't think that discussing this on the phone will be wise." (Clark)
"Oh, don't worry about it. I encrypted this line so no one can hear us."
"How?"(Clark)
"I own a lot of satellites and mobile companies, so did you do it?"
"Yes, yes, I did; don't tell mom and dad, please" (Clark)
"Sure thing, but be careful there, brother."
"Yeah, yeah"(Clark)
*Bep*
(Sigh)
"I'm willing to bet that he is already on the radar of a big, shiny, bald-headed genius."
_______________________________________________
Metropolis...
In a luxurious office on the top of a building, a bald, tall man and an old man were discussing something. The tall man was at a grand desk with a huge computer and chair. In front of him, the old man was sitting on a regular office chair.
"The miscalculations had been finally fixed, mister Luthor." (Head Scientist)
"What was the cause of the reactor malfunction?" (Lex)
The bald man interrupted.
(Gulp)
"Like I said, Mr. Luthor, there were some miscalculations in the formula that caused a chain reaction that made the reactor..." (Head Scientist)
"And who was the one who made the miscalculation?" (Lex)
He interrupted again.
"I...I.."(Head Scientist)
"Then the problem is not fixed, isn't it?" (Lex)
He stood up from his chair, overshadowing the old scientist.
"I want all the responsables fired today, understood?" (Lex)
"Yeah, sir(Head Scientist)
He made a leave motion with his left hand, which the old man obeyed, leaving the office.
*Thud*
Now alone, the bald man sat down again.
"Incompetent all of them..." (Lex)
He massaged his forehead with his left hand.
*Thud*
Suddenly, a six-foot-tall woman came through the door. She had brown hair and dark eyes, and she was wearing a blue suit.
"Mercy, any news?" (Lex)
"No, mister Luthor, I found the same thing, and some of the statements were questionable." (Mercy Graves) She stopped right in front of his desk.
"Hmm, truly fascinating..." He was watching something on the monitor of his computer.
On the monitor was a video playing on repeat of a building collapsing due to the recent earthquake, but before the building was completely destroyed, people started to disappear rapidly.
Only a blur can be seen of something moving extremely fast, and this thing was putting people on the streets.
"I want to know what this means." (Lex)
"Yes, mister Luthor(Mercy)
