Capítulo 22: Everheart's Manor

After buying the dagger for Aiden, they decided to leave the shop. Aiden now wanted to leave right away and sleep in the place he called, but he didn't even know how to go back to the slums.

"So, um, how can I leave this place?" Aiden asked, looking around, not seeing any exits.

"Oh well, it's simple. You just need to find an exit door, which can be found almost everywhere around here, and you will be teleported back to the place where you entered the Otherworld Underground Shop," Maelis said, looking as if she wanted to ask something.

"Like a wooden door?"

"Yeah, you'll see they're easy to spot."

Then, after a moment of silence, Maelis once again opened her mouth.

"Hmm... Aiden, when is your next trial?"

"In about two days, why?"

"Well, I was thinking about some things today, and I decided that I wanted to invite you to visit my family manor. If you like our infrastructure and our family, I thought that we could try to recruit you. What do you say?" Maelis asked, nervous as to what Aiden would respond.

"If I go over there and think about joining it, will it count as the favor I owe you?"

Aiden wanted to get rid of that favor as soon as possible because he didn't want Maelis to ask anything too important from him.

"Sure, if that's what it takes," Maelis muttered. She looked desperate for him to come to try and convince him.

She wanted him to come because if she was able to recruit him, maybe he could help her family become even stronger with the appearance of a special class, which was what she thought he was.

Maelis was convinced Aiden had a special class, but she hadn't asked him yet. She decided to wait until he came to their mansion to ask.

One thing to know was that if she ever learned about his connection with the Nightshade family, she would never try to poach Aiden even a little, scared of the reaction of the Nightshade.

"Then, where's your family manor located, and how do I go there?"

"Don't worry about it. We'll find you and pick you up. How does 10 in the morning sound like?" Maelis asked back.

"Sure, I'll be ready by then."

After exchanging their goodbyes, Aiden was now in search of an exit door that would allow him to go back to the slums, wanting to find his bed as quickly as possible.

Maelis, on the other hand, didn't have the luxury of relaxing. She needed to prepare everything for the next day so that everything would be perfect. She also needed to find where Aiden lived in the slums. To find out where he lived, she hurried to the information center where she had met Aiden and quickly asked an elf to find all the information possible on Aiden.

Meanwhile, after a couple of minutes, Aiden finally found an exit door and quickly opened it wanting to be teleported back.

A message from the system appeared once again, telling him he was going to get teleported.

[You are being teleported to the Slums Otherworld Underground Entrance.]

After returning to the slums, Aiden went back to his home and slept like he never did before. His eyes closed by themselves, and he slept instantly. It seemed that all the actions he had gone through recently were hard on him and that he at least needed some rest.

However, before going to bed, he quickly checked how much time was left until he would get summoned to his second trial.

[You will be summoned to the Otherworld in one day.]

The next day, Aiden woke up because he started hearing the sounds of someone knocking on his half-broken door.

Knock! Knock!

Walking up to the door, he kinda knew who was on the other side, and it was exactly what he had thought.

There was someone wearing all black that resembled an elf knocking on his door. She was probably here to take him to Everheart's family.

"Are you ready to go?" The elf asked as she showed the black limousine behind her.

"One second, I'll go change. It won't take long," Aiden said as he quickly went back to his room and changed clothes.

He came back and was now ready to leave.

He followed the elf dressed in black and entered the black limousine that was parked in front of his shed. The luxurious car being parked outside of his house was weird when looking at the environment that was surrounded by people who had barely enough to survive.

Twenty minutes later, Aiden finally arrived at the manor of the Everheart where all their operations seemed to take place.

At the entrance gate of the manor, were two maids, one on each side of the gate, that looked exactly like Emily. The maid, however, clearly didn't have the same power as Emily. That was probably normal since they were not one of the founding families and only a medium-level one.

"Welcome to the Everheart Manor," both of the maids said at the entrance gate while bowing toward him.

It was now time for Aiden to enter the manor and he got greeted like he was an important guest for the first time in his life, the maids acted as if he was already their master, treating him with more respect than Emily ever did.

It felt good being respected for the first time. His mentor never once truly respected him and only used Aiden for his own goal.

His mentor complimented him after finishing his missions but he never respected him one bit, the proof of this was him when he felt that Aiden was becoming too powerful and that he would soon surpass him.

Not wanting to remember anything else about his mentor, he quickly dismissed those thoughts.

He entered the manor and it was beautiful, he had never seen a building that was this luxurious, he was in a place where they liked to show their wealth, to say the least, with their furniture that seemed to be made out of gold. Everyone inside the manor seemed to be wearing armor that cost at least twenty times the value of his dagger.

'Can I get equipment like this if I join this family?' Aiden thought.

The equipment he was seeing was really tempting and was clearly tilting positively the chances of accepting the deal that Maelis would propose to him later.

'Maybe it wouldn't be so bad to live here?' He thought, looking at the interior of the manor.


Capítulo 23: Training Ground

Interrupting his thoughts about joining the Everheart Family, Maelis was going down the stairs that were right in front of Aiden, welcoming him.

"Aiden, you're here!" Maelis exclaimed, happy that he was finally here after she had prepared all night for his arrival.

She took care of everything, and it was all part of her plan; the two maids in front of the manor were her plan to show him that he could have one of those maids just by joining her family. She also asked for the highest-ranked members to come to the lobby at around 10 in the morning to impress him and to show him their equipment and wealth.

"Hey, now that I'm here what should are we doing? What did you want to show me?" Aiden asked, wanting to know more about what she had prepared for him.

"Well, what do you say that we start with a tour of this place? I'll show you our training grounds, storage room, sparring grounds, and many other things."

"Alright then, I'll follow you," Aiden said, as he indicated to her that he was going to follow right behind her.

The maids from the entrance also followed right behind them, making sure that Aiden had everything he needed.

As they were walking, Maelis started talking about the history of her family and how it formed.

"Well, I don't know if you have noticed, but most of the people that live here are actually elves. That's because the person who founded the family at the start was an elf, and he only recruited elves into the family, which caused a large number of elves to be part of this family."

"Are you a descendant of the one who created this family?" Aiden asked, curious about what she would say.

"Yes, I am. That's why I'm currently the matriarch of the family. But that's not the only reason. I'm also the strongest if we take into account all the members of the family," Maelis said, making sure that he knew she was the best in her family.

"Then, does your family have any type of specialty for techniques like the founding families?"

"Well, the technique we use is one for archers and long-ranges classes, which probably doesn't correspond to you since you bought a dagger for assassins yesterday. But don't worry about the technique we use, as it is not even a high-tier one and won't have much impact if you decide to join this family."

This was actually a lie. Practicing even the lowest-tier technique given to you is important and helps you develop yourself and get stronger faster.

Because a technique is stronger than a skill since it doesn't require any mana points to activate. Also, a technique has a wide range of abilities, so it is basically a combination of many skills which is why it makes it so strong, it also doesn't count in the limited skill slots.

"Are techniques not important? Because when you were talking about medium-level families and higher ranked ones, the main point you pointed out was the techniques they possessed and the difference in strength they had," Aiden said, doubting the information Maelis had just told him.

Hearing this question, Maelis knew she couldn't lie, but she still tried to hide some elements from him.

"I mean, they are important, but you would still be able to be strong even without one."

"Hmm... Sure, I guess." He responded.

He knew that she answered his question to make it seem like he didn't need a technique, but what she just said meant that not having one would decelerate his growth. Basically, having good techniques was better than having good skills.

After walking for some time, they finally arrived at the training grounds.

"Alright, here we are. This is the training ground. As you can see, members of the guild practice here every day to improve their skills," Maelis said as she showed the training ground to Aiden.

The training ground was quite big, and it wasn't anything like Aiden had expected. There seemed to be small challenges that focused on certain stats like agility, strength, dexterity, and other stats all around the training ground with a ranking written right beside it, which indicated who was the best at those challenges.

Seeing those challenges, Aiden decided to ask Maelis if he could try one.

"Can I try one of the challenges?"

"Of course, you can even try them all," Maelis answered, pleased that she was finally going to see the strength of Aiden, she was starting to get excited.

As he obtained the right to do the challenges, Aiden decided to do the trial that seemed to be a little parkour which interested him. The parkour seemed to be composed of five platforms that were each different from one another separated from each other which would force Aiden to jump from one another, also the ground under the platforms was riddled with little spikes that would surely hurt if he did fall.

Before doing it, he checked the rankings right beside it, and some names and times were written on it.

[Rankings - Parkour]

[1st: Emma Everheart (1:32)]

[2nd: Benjamin Everheart (1:43)]

[3rd: Matthew Walker (2:01)]

Looking at it, he noticed that the person who was first had quite the advantage over the second, and the second had an even bigger gap with the third.

He found it weird that Maelis wasn't on the rankings.

"Why are you not on here?"

"Well, the rankings for the challenges in the training grounds are reserved for awakeners that have not completed their fifth trial yet, which means I can't put my name up there," Maelis explained to Aiden.

"Oh, and I almost forgot, but when doing the challenges, all of your stats are limited to one; it was decided like this because we train our basics in those challenges."

Learning that his stats would be limited to one didn't affect much Aiden since he knew that his movement techniques were already much better than what others would use.

He was sure that would absolutely destroy the rankings placing first. If he didn't, it would be disappointing for Aiden since he takes pride in his movement.

[You are entering a zone with a stat restriction.]

[All of your stats are being limited to one.]
