The groups that got the information, they sent spies, who had hiding and tracking skills, first, they wanted to see what kind of creature was in place, where the jewel was first.
When they discovered that inside the cave inhabit level 950 and tier boss creatures, the groups were more frightened because there were not many members at that level to be able to fight these creatures.
The spies had to use their best cloaking skills to try to hide from the Cyclops. After following the path shown by the map, they found the secret entrance and fell.
When they reached the ground, the spies saw a beautiful blue sphere, the jewel so beautiful that it seemed to exist only in that darkness.
The eyes of the spies turned red after seeing that, they confirmed the authenticity of the information. At that moment, their minds filled with greed, each of them wanted the jewel and without realizing it, they walked toward the jewel without worrying about anything else.
The surroundings were dark, if anyone did not look closely, it would be difficult to see the skeleton dragon. Because of greed, the spies were killed, they approached the aggro of the skeleton dragon, with just one breath, all were killed instantly. None of them knew what had happened, they paid no attention to the cause of their deaths.
After the information was confirmed, the leaders of the big shots dispatched their troops, but before that, they also sold information about the location of the World Jewel to be able to recover some of the fortune spent buying the information at the auction.
At the same time, even if no one spoke, everyone who saw the images recorded by the spies knew that something extremely powerful was protecting the jewel. Many were curious as to how the first player got the gem.
So when the preparations were done, the kingdom of the dark elves began their journey to see who would be the player to get the second jewel, but it was not easy, even after thousands of attempts, the jewel was not achieved.
Liu Yang only got the first jewel because of the help of the developers, they made the first player find the jewel, the challenge to get the jewel would be much easier than the next ones. This was to make the jewelry information spread faster.
Another thing that helped other kingdoms find their jewelry was that after the information was released in the community, clues about the jewelry began to appear that appeared in thousands of rare quests, which was to speed up the process of jewelry discovery and increase the competitiveness between the great shots of each kingdom, and the competition between the kingdoms.
…
Returning to the throne room the tomb.
It had been a whole day after Liu Yang overcame the skeleton king's challenge, and it took him all this time to finish the golden throne puzzle.
As he suspected, when the puzzle was completed and the secret compartment opened, he found two skill books, Double Blade Ability, and Battle God Fury.
The dual blade ability was a passive ability that allows the player to use two swords but one-handed swords. When the skill reaches level 10, the player could use two two-handed swords.
The battle god fury ability was an active ability that allows the player to enter furious mode, the player gains immunity to any kind of negative effect, triple HP, double the movement speed, but loses seventy-five percent of physical and magic defense.
These two skills were rare treasures that many great shots dreamed of having, but would never achieve. And now, Liu Yang got two of these items, his luck was enviable by many, but he didn't know that.
After he got both items, and Little White didn't feel anything important with its ability. The group went to the skeleton king's treasure hall.
…
"Young master, we are rich !!!!" Nina shouted this was the first time she had seen a sea of gold coins. Sophie was the same way too. 
"Girls, let's take it all" Liu Yang said in an enthusiastic voice, he would get another big amount of gold. When he touched a gold coin, the coin was thrown into his inventory. This made him extremely happy because Liu Yang had thought these coins were part of the scenario and could not be used.
"Yes, young master !!" The two girls ran cheerfully, they started picking up the coins and storing them in the space bag.
"Girls, after putting the gold coins in the bags, give me the bags."
"Yes, young master"
"Auuu" While the trio were happily collecting the coins, Little White howled happily and began digging one of the small mountains made of gold coins.
"Little White, did you find anything?" Liu Yang was surprised when he heard the howl, he understood that Little White smelled something with the ability.
"Auuu" Little White just howled and kept digging.
"Girls, you keep getting the gold coins, I'll see what Little White found"
"Yes, young master"
Liu Yang went to the place where Little White was digging, but no matter how hard it tried, it couldn't finish digging a large number of gold coins.
"Little White, let me do this" Liu Yang asked, he plunged into the sea of ​​gold coins and threw it all into inventory. Quickly, the number of gold coins in his inventory began to increase, and the sea of ​​coins decreased.
When all the coins were collected, a wooden chest appeared, the chest was already completely worn out by the time.
Ancient Chest - The chest was used by the ancient king to store great treasures.
"Little White, is this the treasure you sniffed out?"
"Auuu" Little White confirmed with a howl.
"Let's see what's inside." Liu Yang spoke expectantly, he knew that the things Little White sniffed for were always rare and precious.
Little Blue was also looking around, its current size was no longer like a small cub, it looked like a young bear, but its size was like a car.
When Liu Yang touched the chest, a loading bar appeared.
1% ... 2% ... 3% ..., ..., 100%
It took a few seconds for the bar to complete.
"Let's see what's inside the chest." Liu Yang could only imagine what was inside.
The chest was opened a white egg appeared.
Blood Egg - An egg that contains a creature that likes to drink blood. To hatch the egg, you must feed the egg with blood.
(A creature that likes to drink blood ??? !!!!) Liu Yang was shocked when he saw this information, he never heard of this type of creature and imagined it would be another kind of strange beast.
"Young master, what is this egg?" Sophie asked, she was curious to know what was inside the chest, Nina was also behind.
"It's an egg of some creature that likes to drink blood. Do you know any? "
"Not"
"Auuu"
"Roar"
The four answered that they do not know this type of creature, each made their sound to answer.
"I see… It seems like the only way to know what kind of creature it can contain is by hatching the egg. Girls, do you want to hatch this egg? "
"Young master, I don't think so better. The young master should take this creature as a companion as Little White and Little Blue. "Sophie refused, Nina too, they wouldn't want a blood-drinking beast as a mate.
"Okay, you guys keep collecting the gold coins. Little White, Little Blue, you can keep looking for things in this great hall, I'll try to hatch this egg. "
"Yes, young master"
"Auuu"
"Roar"
The four parted and began searching for things in this great hall that was covered with gold coins and hidden treasures.
When the egg was touched by Liu Yang, an ear notification, the egg was linked to him, it left Liu Yang surprised. This notification proved that the egg was rare.
Liu Yang took a sword from his inventory and cut his hand, he felt no pain. Blood began to fall like rain on the egg and a loading bar appeared.
1% ... 2% ...

The dark skies conquerors as the ominous storm blow. Thunder clashed, the ocean raised. Riding the sea of blood, three motorboats excelling their way to the island. 

The seven-meter water giant standing, gathering water towards them and creating destructive storms across the oceans. 

"Captain, what is that?!" A female voice was heard inside the boat. Attaching attention towards the giant from the crew. 

The captain opened her eyes, altering colours from purple to blue to ocean green as if it could have been any colour. Her scarlet crimson hair dyed with beauty as if it was shinning with light. She stood up, with hair to her waist and charming voice. She spoke. "Full speed ahead." 

They approach a shore, only to find a group of three hiding in a small den from the weather. 

Stephanie jumped off the boat, with her 173 centimetres height, she approaches the group like a model. Wearing a female guardian outfit, mini-skirts revealing her legs and black lace-boots covering her feet. The crew followed her footsteps. 

The group of three notices her, charmed by her beauty, they all stared at her as if they were captivated by her eyes. 

Eric lifted himself up, with injury all over this body, he greets her. "Stephanie, long time no see." 

Stephanie gazed on the other two members of the group, a middle-aged man smiled at her and the young girl carrying a broken staff laying down unconscious. 

"Where is Kiva? I heard King was on this mission as well?" Stephanie questioned with her enchanting voice. 

"I don't know, but probably up there." He pointed to the seven-meter water giant. 

Stephanie turned her head back, directing her orders to her medical team, 12 members of her team entered the small den. Using their abilities to enlarge the cave, creating a small fire for warmth, sharing food with the injured as Stephanie listened to Eric's story. 

- Final Floor - 

Kiva, King, and Alice trapped in black threads, unable to access their powers. Struggling themselves to break these trends with brutal force. 

"What are these things?!" Alice asked with fearful thoughts in her tone. She had never seen these creatures before, there wasn't any in Verona, but she recognizes them, recognizes their figures, recognizes the fear that these tiny little creatures emit. 

"Spiders, these spiders are called Abyssiders. Straight from the abyss itself, they have the ability to defy divines." Kiva replied in a calm tone.  

"So what do we do now?" King asked, panicking. 

"Let the giant attack us." Kiva's cold voice reaches out. 

Both of them looking at him as if he was insane, but after all these times. They decided to trust him. 

The water giant crushes down with this fist, the three of them closed their eyes as the impact comes. The fist made of water surged them inside, creating a tense of pressure blasting them into the air, along with the spiders. 

Screaming to the pressure and carried by the winds, both King and Kiva grabbed Alice's hand, afraid of the girl flying out, as they dropped into the ocean of blood. 

The threads became loose instead of solid in the water, King and Kiva grab the nearby small creatures as they came close with the pressure. Crushing it as they become darkness. 

Pulling themselves above water, only to see Alice suffocating due to her inability to swim.

They swim to a nearby shore, reaching a den with a scarlet red girl waiting in front of them. 
"Kiva, King, and Alice the new join. Having fun?. Stephanie spoke. 

"Stephanie... Walker?" Kiva and King both replied. 

The three of them entered the den, surrounding themselves with the fire. Gathering warmth and drying their clothes. 

Noticing Eric, the middle-aged man and the young priest injured. Kiva figured the maze was too difficult for them. 

"Stephanie, why are you here?" Kiva spoke in a friendly tone. 

She stares at the Kiva with her altering eyes, looking back towards the water giant. "To stop that thing." She pointed. 

"That thing is not stoppable. Unless we manage to disable the origin of its powers." Kiva replied back becoming silent for a while.

Stephanie gazed at the monster, staring at the center of its heart. "The Jewel of The Sea, also known as Poseidon's stone." Stephanie's tone became fearful. 

"Poseidon..." Alice's voice flowed out. 

"The Poseidon Stone holds the power of the water god, able to cause disasters and create monsters that normal human beings cannot withstand." Stephanie mentions. 

She never heard of this name before, but somehow it comes to her mind with familiarity. 

"The spiders are in this as well, they figured out a way to prevent us to use divine powers," King added. 

"Divines..." Alice's voice flowed out again. This isn't the first time she heard out. The Spiders, Divines, Poseidon. All these words came with familiarity into her mind, but she cannot make anything out of it. 

Alice gazed her eyes over to Eric since Eric was the one who explained Guardians to her. She went over and asked as Stephanie and the others develop their strategies. 

"Divines are children of gods and goddess. You can call them demi-gods, but not all of them are born as demi-gods." Eric explained. 

"At this current moment, there are three generations. The first one, Bloodlines, those who are born with the blood of gods. The second generation, Awakens, which is those who had powers given to them by gods themselves as a contract to serve them. The last generation, DNA-Masters, warriors and elites trained for war underneath artificial data of the gods." Eric explained further. 

"These three over there are demi-gods. Kiva and Stephanie are bloodlines, while King is an Awaken." Eric spoke as Alice nods her head. 

Thinking to herself, she realizes the spider's thread prevented her powers are well and the fact that Athena is a goddess, she would be an Awaken since she never had the powers in the beginning. 

The land shook as if earthquakes were caused. The rain poured down heavy as the wind became stronger. The water giant started to move, his liquid form shouldn't be able to cause earthquakes but it did. The ocean rises, creating whirlpools and hurricanes as the giant walks across the waters.

Everyone gazed their attention towards the giant. "So we need to stop that thing?" The group questioned in a fearful way. 

Stephanie nodded. "You have a plan?" Kiva noticed Stephanie's expression.  

"Find the origin, disable it, and kill the spiders. Simple?" Stephanie smiled. 

Kiva sighed, placing his hands onto his face. 

"Alice located the origin of the giant, there has to be a core filled with massive mana. You can see it cannot it?" Kiva directs his eyes to Alice. 

"Eric, try to connect to the headquarters. The rest of the group stand clear, try to distract the giant from moving to human land. King and I will find The Spiders and Stephanie, just look pretty alright?." Kiva smiled as he explains the plan. 

"What!? I am coming too!" Stephanie argued back. "I don't belong to your sector. I do what I what." 

"Fine, Sector Seven move out." Kiva lifted himself up walking towards the giant as King and Alice followed. 

Eric taps his smartwatch, trying to find a signal, but it was very unlikely for him to do with his weather. - System Hack: Disassemble - He chanted. His watch breaks into pieces of gears, falling on the ground. - Blueprint Mode - The gears emits out blue lines, connecting to each other, creating a transparent paper of blue light, allowing Eric to draw on to it. 

Alice walks out as Kiva and King dissolve into purple particles of matters, while Stephanie commanded her group to cast spells attacking and distracting the giant. Staring at Alice, wondering how a 16-year-old girl could be useful. 

Alice gazed her eyes onto the water giant. - Wisdom Eye - White lines of data appears in her eyes. - Search: Origin - Massive data transmitted into her head. Allowing her eyes to filter in a source of divine powers unlike hers. Destructive blue mana overflowed the heart of the monster, enabling her to see the Jewel of the Sea covered with riptides of rain.

Alice closed her eyes, chanting - Athena - 

White dimension, flowing glass puzzle pieces. Searching Athena's memories for the Jewel of the Sea. Puzzle pieces disappearing one after another, only leaving one, single piece of memory. She taps into the puzzle piece, the white dimension changed, into the blue deep sea. 

A woman and a man appear in Alice's vision, battling against each other. One wearing blue amour of the scales of dragons, carrying this trident spear. The other, having a red Chinese dress as if she was royalty. Trident to imperial staff, magic to magic, and gods against gods. Each strike shook the waters, crumbling the royal palace surrounding them. 

As the battle continues on, Alice stands there watching the memory as a spirit. Until a majestic figure appears on to the scene. With her altering green, blue, grey, and gold eyes, she didn't walk toward the men, but instead, she turned her body towards Alice. 

"The Jewel of the Sea is at the throne room. It has the powers of Poseidon and the god he is fighting. There are always two sides to things, especially power. Like Ying and Yang, the Jewel also has its good side, the side of harmony and peace of the sea." Athena's voice spoke. 

"How do I stop that monster up there?" Alice asked. 

"The sea giant is the power that Poseidon engraved in, you will need to awaken the other side. The power of Mazu, the protector of the sea." Athena noted. 

Athena places her hand onto Alice's hips, dragging her so their body comes in contact. Athena's stares into Alice's eyes and pushes her lips onto hers. Alice captivated at the moment, as magic and mana flow into her mind and spirit. Their eyes shut down, as if time stopped, leaving an unforgettable image into her mind. 

Alice opens her eyes, seeing the water giant walking towards her. She directs her eyes onto the sky. As she chanted.

< Oh, Holy Empress of Twelve Heavens, The Goddess of the Sea. >
< Protect me from the harsh weathers created by thee > 
< Oh, Protector of the Sea, send me your blessings on to me > 
< Show me your powers of the Divine Being >

The skies opened up a small blue light shine upon Alice. Mana overflowed into her, forming a three meters spirit behind her. Alice lifts her hands, the spirit also does the same. 

The spirit sang, so does Alice, her beautiful voice calmed the seas. Thunder stop, the rising tides died and the storm disappeared. She transfers herself into Alice's body as if she was taking over hers. 

Alice walked towards the water giant, releasing an aura unlike her own. The water raised above, gathering around her beneath creating a vortex rising Alice above to the heart of the monster. 

Her sad emptiness eyes gazed at the water giant. "The Jewel of the Sea. How long have I wondered where you are." Her enchanting voice calmed the giant down as if she could talk to it.

Three thousand years ago, Athena was sealed. For love, for peace, for war, and for the human realm. Betrayed by the gods, humans, and demons. She promises to bring terror when she awakens. 

Three thousand years now. She rests her soul within a mana-less young woman, Alice.

-------- I will also be posting this on Royal Road ----

Southwest of this continent, going exactly west from Great Forest Sea, were two islands. One was vertically big and long while the other was ⅓ the size of the previous one, and both could be seen forming a line.

The larger island was called Igrand, and the smaller — Marlette. The two islands combined were called the Igrette Kingdom.

Map

The Igrette Kingdom didn't have any particular resource that was sticking out. It seemed to be a splendid country with a temperate climate and a beautiful unspoiled scenery due to it being surrounded by the sea.

This country appeared to be rural with a culture falling behind against the other countries, but even a country like this had something that couldn't be defeated by those other countries.

It is the existence the Sea Serpent, a sea dragon.

This dragon lived near the shores of Igrette and was being respected by its citizens as a guardian deity. Approximately 100 years ago when the Sandora Kingdom invaded them, it was passed on in a legend that this dragon only sank the ships of Sandora.

There's another legend being handed down on that island. It said that the day when the sea dragon was seen, they would be able to get a large catch.

「So, do you know the one they call the Sea Serpent?」(Touya)

『Yes. It's one of my dependants. It's a type that, by nature, likes to associate with humans, so perhaps he liked the humans living on those islands』(Ruli)

Having heard that there's a dragon, I then went to that Igrette kingdom in a company of Ruli. I sit on Ruli's back who had turned into a huge dragon, and we were heading towards those islands. It was quite comfortable, but I still put up a shield since the wind was intense.

「Oh, I can see it」(Touya)

The isolated islands were seen at the end of the horizon. Is that the Igrette Kingdom?

『Lord. The sea dragon has come to greet you』(Ruli)

「Eh?」(Touya)

Looking below per Ruli's voice, I saw the face of a dragon peeping from the surface of the sea. It raised the sea up and down, wiggling its body like a snake. It was really huge. It's even bigger than Ruli. There was buoyancy in the sea, so there were no big burdens on the body of large creatures. This was probably the reason why it's easier for large creatures to be born at the sea.

『Long time no see, Sea Dragon』(Ruli)

『It's good to be in the presence of the gracious Blue Emperor-sama. Also, Mochizuki Touya-sama, the Lord of the Blue Emperor-sama, welcome to Igrette』(Sea Serpent)

「Huh? You know who I am?」(Touya)

『Yes. The incident on Drachen island has been transmitted amongst the dragons』(Sea Serpent)

Huhuh. Surprisingly, it has become something similar to a rumor. Oh well. We did kill more than half of the dragons in that island after all. The reason why they aren't holding a grudge is thanks to Ruli's influence.

Dragons basically didn't try to oppose humans. If humans had seriously tried to defeat dragons, they would know how difficult it would be. However, the reckless rampage of the young dragons who didn't know something like that due to their long years of living caused the incident that time. It could be said though that the reason was pretty much because they hadn't been educated.

「Even so, you knew well that we would be coming, didn't you?」(Touya)

『I've heard about it from a bird familiar. As such, the ruins that Touya-sama has been searching for turned up to be in the depths of the cave where I myself have been roosting』(Sea Serpent)

「Ah. So that's how it is. Then I guess I can ask you to guide us there」(Touya)

『With pleasure』(Sea Serpent)

We followed the sea dragon that began swimming, moving from side to side.

The sea dragon headed to the small island of the Igrette kingdom. It then entered a thin cave between the rocks after we'd approached the quay of Marlette. We'd also followed suit and entered the cave. We then came out into a space that's considerably large.

It's like a secret base here. I got off from Ruli's back onto a rock inside the cave.

『The ruins you're aiming for are in the end of a cave located deeper that way』(Sea Dragon)

I, having followed the eyes of the sea dragon, could see the cave which led to more depths. I see. Is it in the end of that cave?

It seemed they had a great deal to talk about as well, so I left Ruli with the sea dragon and advanced alone to the depths of the cave.

The rock surface was indiscriminately and smoothly wet. Is it because the surface becomes submerged in the sea when the tide comes in? I advanced through the cave that looked like a pathway for awhile, and I finally reached the object inside of it soon afterward.

The shape was a genuine sphere. I could only see a black globe five meters or more in diameter at first glance, but there were magic stones resembling a marble embedded on its sides with thin slit-like geometric patterns running through.

「Let's see what will happen when I pour magic power in them, for now」(Touya)

I poured fire attribute magic into the red magic stone. Then, the red light started shining from the magic stone towards the slit extending along on the surface of the globe.

The light, while occasionally breaking and bending on its path, encircled the sphere and returned back to the red magic stone.

The blue, green, brown, yellow, and purple stones released lines of light the same way. Finally, when the white light of the no attribute magic run through the globe, it cluttered like a puzzle and its surface slid one by one, opening a small entrance.

The entrance silently closed as I set foot inside, and I saw a magic formation drawn on the floor, scattered in pieces, in the middle of a faint light.

「Wait, wait a moment. Say, is this…?」(Touya)

The pattern was drawn on what appears to be square tiles. Each one was disconnected from the others, allowing them to be moved.

A slide puzzle. The one where the digits were supposed to be lined up in the right order.

［01］［02］［03］［04］

［05］［06］［07］［08］

［09］［10］［11］［12］

［13］［14］［15］［16］

It's a puzzle where the part for the number [16] had been omitted and where assembling it back to its original form required the scattered pieces to be slid one by one using the vacant space.

This one was made of the magic formation laid down on the floor. The magic formation for transfer will probably activate when I line up the puzzle correctly.

The problem was the number of the panels. I'd counted them, and they were in a 10 x 10 matrix, making it a hundred pieces in total. No. Accurately speaking, there were 99 pieces with one piece being left out to allow the other parts to move. Furthermore, it would've been better if those panels were numbers since the difficulty of the slide puzzle jumped up if a picture had to be assembled.

「What an absolutely troublesome puzzle…」(Touya)

I muttered so while sliding the panels on the floor.

That reminds me, grandpa has said a long time ago that there's a slight trick for slide puzzles.

［01］［02］［03］［04］

［05］［06］［07］［08］

［09］［10］［11］［12］

［13］［14］［15］

In case they have to be lined up like this, the ones the should be aligned first are…

 
［01］［02］［03］［04］

［05］

［09］

［13］

The ones outside should be done first followed by aligning the inner side adjacent to it.

［06］［07］［08］

［10］

［14］

Like that, and finally,

［11］［12］

［15］

The panels had to be put together. The puzzle would be completed with this method no matter how large the number of panels it had.

The problem was that this was a panel of a picture. I couldn't move them if I didn't understand which part of the whole a certain panel was.

It would be quite helpful if the original picture was present but….

I spent some time silently moving the puzzle. Assembling it took too much time, so I'd decided to tell Ruli to head back via telepathy.

99 pieces was nonetheless a huge number… In addition to that, the puzzle wasn't a picture but a pattern. As such, this was…. I had no way of knowing if a panel was the correct one until they were properly aligned next to each other.

Nevertheless, I continued to repeat this plain tiresome work. Then, light overflew from the transfer formation on the floor when I'd managed to somehow complete the puzzle, and I'd been instantly transferred.

****************************************************************************************

I'd been swallowed in the usual whirlpool of light, and the familiar scenery of Babylon spread in front of my sight after my dazzled eyes got used to the blinding light.

I could see a white building in between the trees shaking in the wind. Is that [Laboratory]?

Then, somebody came walking to this place as I stepped out of the transfer formation to walk towards the building. Is that the [Laboratory] manager? She had brown hair with three braids placed together, and she's coming towards here in a brisk manner. Based on her appearance, she should be one or two years younger than me.

「Welcome to [Laboratory]. I am this [Laboratory] terminal and manager. My name is Atlantica. Please call me Tica」(Tica)

I faltered a little while looking at the girl who bent her waist politely and greeted me. Her movements were similar to the secretary of the president from a certain company. She seemed to be a diligent and proper girl. Her way of speaking was fluent as well. I guess I can say that she's difficult to deal with for the rough Monica in a certain sense.

「Tica, is it? Nice to meet you. I am──」(Touya)

「Mochizuki Touya-sama, right. I've heard about you from the professor」(Tica)

「From the professor?」(Touya)

「Yes. [The Jewel of Future Vision] that the professor had constructed allowed her to know that Touya-sama would at least come to [Garden] and [Laboratory]」(Tica)

Come to think of it, an artifact like that exists in [Warehouse]. Though it didn't activate even if I tried using it. According to Palshie, the [Warehouse] manager, someone with the same biological wavelength is required for the power of the jewel to reach the future. In other words, I couldn't use it because there's no one that has all the magic attributes in the future.

It, therefore, meant that there wouldn't be anyone that was born having all of the attributes for another 5000 years from now on as the worst case scenario. Unless the flow of the history changed.

I'd tried letting Linzie use it to test the theory, and an old man whom we didn't know of was reflected. As such, I didn't think it's broken. I felt strange thinking that maybe this old man was currently living in this era as a kid.

「Then, how many [Babylon] parts has Touya-sama managed to gather so far?」(Tica)

「This is the last one. I've already found the others and they are all docked together」(Touya)

「I see. This is sufficient enough for someone who's confirmed person. I will then transfer [Laboratory] and me, Atlantica, under master's contract」(Tica)

Having said so, Tica took out a small stick containing an object that looked like a round cotton from her chest pocket and handed it over to me.

「Please put this in your mouth」(Tica)

I held the stick in my mouth as I'd been told, and I was then instructed to take it out after a few minutes.

Tica, having received the cotton swab that I'd taken out, held all of it in her mouth.

「Registration compete. Master's genes have been memorized. From now on, the ownership of [Laboratory], and myself, Babylon number 22, Atlantica are transferred to master」(Tica)

「H-huh?」(Touya)

「Is there anything wrong?」(Tica)

「No, nothing in particular…」(Touya)

It wasn't a kiss like before. No, it's not like I was looking forward to it, right!? Or perhaps I should say it was a bit of a letdown.

Perhaps this girl had drawn a line on an act like that because she looked diligent.

「Then please, this way. There is one more job I want master to do before I explain about [Laboratory]」(Tica)

「Job?」(Touya)

I entered one of the [Laboratory] buildings while being led by Tica.

[Laboratory] was divided into several buildings, and it appeared that each one had a different purpose.

The place we'd entered was called the First Lab. Apparently, Shesca and the rest of the Babylon numbers were born here.

A whole lot of huge objects that appeared to be sleeping capsules similar to the ones in [Alchemy Building] had been installed into the walls. Some sort of luminescent fluid that's quite unknown to me was floating inside the transparent tubes. There were also some raw materials soaked in what looked like formalin floating inside the tubes. This was exactly what could be called as a suspicious [Laboratory].

This was somehow similar to a human experimental facility (It may exactly be like that though), so I was slightly uncomfortable. It even looks like it can remodel a human… Haven't they already made several of those? Though they are closer to cyborgs than remodeled humans.

Tica took me to the front of a cylindrical machine installed in the innermost part of the room and pointed at the part of that machine that acted like a window of a coffin.

The face of a young girl floating in a solution and shining in a light green light could be seen through the glass. Her seemingly long platinum blonde hair could be seen, but I couldn't quite recognize her since I could only see through the window the part from the forehead till the chin. It's difficult to understand because her eyes were closed, but she vaguely resembled Tica in front of my eyes. No, she was similar to all Babylon numbers.

「Say, is this child…」(Touya)

「Babylon number 29. The last number. She's our youngest sister」(Tica)

Has there been 10 people all in all?..... Was she abandoned in the middle of development, or was there some reason not to wake her up?

I was thinking of those things when Tica suddenly threw an extra large bomb at me.

「And at the same time, she's our biological parent, Professor Regina Babylon. I want master to assist with waking her up」(Tica)

.........Eh?

Fifteen-year-old Touya Mochizuki is accidentally killed by God. As an apology, God allows him to be resurrected, but since he cannot send him back to his old world, he instead reincarnates him into a fantasy world along with a single special request.

Two weeks after the felling of Mist Calf...
Around the time the effects of the Tide of Death had more or less subsided, a search party had been dispatched from Ronia. It consisted of five hundred or so convict soldiers.
They sifted through the collapsed ice castle and dug around the inert pile of mud that used to be the now-dead Mist Calf.
{Please recover the heart of Mist Calf, sir! The demonic energy contained within it began dissipating the moment it died, that's for certain, but a humongous amount of energy should still remain in it. It will provide a great help later down the line, sir!}
After listening to what Hans had to say, the Seventh Imperial Prince issued a direct command. He commanded the convicts to search for and recover all the data related to the warp magic, as well as the mud giant's heart.
One of the convicts rummaging through the debris of the castle brightened his face. "Found it!" he called out. He had stumbled across a large torn bag. It was filled with the data related to the warp magic.
"I also wanted to participate in the subjugation battle, though..." Gril muttered, smacking his lips in disappointment while performing his job as the member of the search party.
He recalled the face of his adopted daughter, Charlotte, before she set off for the decisive battle.
{It'll get dangerous, so stay behind and protect Ronia, please!}
She said those words while wagging her finger and massaging her forehead. Although her expression back then could be described as indifferent, Gril still found her attitude quite adorable anyway.
"Mm. Yes, one should definitely have a daughter."
Just as Gril began smiling like a content dad, he spotted a crimson jewel sparkling away within the mud. It was so large that it didn't fit in a man's palm.
Gril lifted it out of the mud. "I wonder, just where would something like this be of use?"
He placed the crimson jewel inside his bag. There were quite a few large shattered jewel shards inside already.
"Not enough..."
Gril turned his head after hearing someone muttering that out.
Harman, who was in charge of the search party, was currently standing on top of Mist Calf's corpse and looking around with a slightly concerned face.
"What do you mean, Sir Paladin?"
"According to Mister Hans, the jewel is supposed to be at least one metre in diameter. It shattered into pieces so its size might have gotten smaller than before, but still, it's too small."
They had been digging through the mud and under the fallen bedrock for the past few days. But all they had recovered so far had been shards of shattered jewels of varying sizes.
Harman thought that for a heart around one metre in diameter as Hans had described, the resulting pile of shards seemed a little inadequate overall.
"I can only pray that it's my mood affecting my judgement." Harman felt rueful about it, but he still shouted out at the convict soldiers, "We shall conclude the search!"

(TL: In 1st person POV.)
I climbed aboard the carriage headed to the capital of the empire, Laurensis. Our plan was to head back to the Imperial Palace with Count Jenald in tow, now that we were finished taking care of the aftermath of the defensive battles in Ronia.
The carriage provided by the Imperial Palace was quite large inside, but various items of luggage filled it up, making it seem rather cramped.
While I was sitting inside, a knock came from the door.
"Are you going to open the door, sir?" Hans asked while holding piles of documents in both of his hands. He was sitting near mountains of other documents.
"...Do you have to look at them here? Besides all that, why are you even riding in my carriage in the first place?"
Hans waved around the documents detailing the data on warp magic, which I had given him permission to look at, and giggled brightly. "How can I not take a gander when such amazing and wonderful pieces of information are now available to me, sir? And also, I was wondering if you've heard something from Count Timong, as well."
"Well, aren't you a dedicated Warp enthusiast."
"It's a long-held dream of every Alchemist after all, sir!"
I recalled the mug of Count Timong, then extracted a book from my item window and tossed it lightly to Hans. "Here, take it."
He caught the book in an awkward manner, and almost immediately, his brows shot up high.
Since his discerning eyes were so highly attuned, he probably latched onto the fact that the book's quality and the letters written on it were foreign to this world in a matter of seconds.
"The material quality is something I've never seen before, sir. How was this book manufactured in the first place? Not only that, the ink and the letters themselves are so precise and consistent, too..." Hans resting his chin on his hand and pondering this new quandary, suddenly hardened his expression. "...Wait a minute, which era did this book come from? W-what kind of a title is it, what material...? I, I don't recognise any of it. Oh my goodness...! An ancient language that even I don't recognise?!"
Knock, knock...
I reached out and grabbed the carriage's door handle. "That's not a book of this world."
Hans flinched and froze up when I said that. His gaze hurriedly locked on me, and I grinned mischievously while pointing at the novel in his hand. "It's a book that has crossed dimensions."
"Eh?"
"It's an item you Alchemists dream of acquiring. It's a gift, so take it."
Hans's eyes shook powerfully. But before he had a chance to say something, I opened the door.
Harman, riding on horseback, was right outside.
"Oh! Harman, you managed to join us."
I figured he'd arrive later due to him being in charge of the search operation up north, but he joined us on time in the end.
He seemed to have something to report, because after offering a short greeting, he turned his head to look behind him. A wagon carrying the data collected from the vampires, plus crimson jewel shards inside a large leather bag, could be found there.
"These are the data and the parts of Mist Calf's heart recovered during the search, Your Highness. We did our best to find them all, but some portion seems to be missing, my lord."
"Really?"
I signalled with my hand, and Harman had a portion of the data and the crimson jewel transferred to my carriage. Hans received them and laid them out on the floor, making the already-cramped carriage even more cramped.
Hans fidgeted around as if there was a seriously bad itch he wanted to scratch right now. He sneaked a glance in my direction. "Excuse me, sir, what were you saying earlier..."
Harman closed the carriage door.
I glanced back to Hans and replied, "That's what Count Timong said. I don't know all the details."
"..."
Hans's shoulders slumped visibly, as if all of his energy went flying out the window just now. It was probably because he knew that Count Timong was devoured by the mud giant Mist Calf.
He seemed to be trying to comfort his aching heart or something, because he began fidgeting around with the data and the shards of the crimson jewel Harman had brought over.
He put the data away in an orderly fashion before taking the shards of the jewel to piece them back together, like some kind of a jigsaw puzzle.
I asked him. "By the way, Harman said there's a portion of the heart missing. Will that be alright?"
"Ah, that. Yes, it should be fine, sir. I'm almost certain that some zombies or other undead took them away. As this is an item containing demonic energy, even those undead without functioning ego would still be attracted to them instinctively."
"And what are the odds of vampires taking them away?"
Hans continued to stack the jewel shards, while replying to my question in an unconcerned tone of voice. As a matter of fact, most of his attention seemed to be focused on carefully joining up all the shards at the moment. "They were most likely planning to use this Jötunn's heart to complete the Warp Gate, but with it shattered so completely, opening one up now would be next to impossible, sir."
"Impossible, you say?"
Hans nodded before looking back at me. "If that Count Timong or whatever his name was, was still around, then sure. But now that he's dead, it'll be exceedingly difficult to bring their Warp Gate to reality no matter how smart they are, sir."
"But, doesn't that mean it's still possible to make it happen?"
Hans froze up when I said that. A bitter grin floated up on his lips soon after as he stared at the crimson jewel-shards he had stacked together by then. "What those vampire bastards were trying to create isn't simple warp magic, sir. It was to create a pathway that leads to another dimension. A doorway that doesn't just lead to the Titan Realm, Spirit Realm, or Purgatory, but a completely new world beyond them, only accessible by boring a hole straight through space itself. That's what they must be aiming for."
He resumed stacking the shards while continuing on, "And its purpose isn't simply to summon souls or things similar in nature, but for them to directly travel there. I'm sure that is what they wish for, sir."
Wasn't that the ultimate dream of all Alchemists, though? An unknown, different world that none of them had seen nor heard before, and being able to travel there.
They saw that as seeing the truth of the world.

Except I am also a necromancer...

28th December, XXXX

I grilled Sally about her whereabouts when I finally met her at the ball a few hours later. She said she was detained in the 'queue' waiting to greet the prince. She was accompanying her diplomat father, but the prince was nowhere to be found. When her father finally gave her permission to leave, she could not find me next to the statue. 

She did not seem to be lying to me and I believed her. If even my best friend lies to me, I don't know who to trust. Then my life would truly be pathetic. 

When I told Aunt about the piece of jewel from the mysterious guy. She seemed extremely excited and happy that I had a 'mysterious suitor'. In the next few days, she tried to subtly brainwash me into believing 'there are many gentlemen that suit you in Zehan', 'living in Zehan is much more fun than in Arerin', 'Zehan boys are so well-mannered, look at your uncle and cousins'...

From her words, she did not think that's Sebastian, but a Zehan noble. So I believed she was not part of Sebastian's mysterious plan. She was so excited and kept talking about Zehan and the gentlemen in Zehan. 

Was that really Sebastian? I decided to not give any further thought. I just hope Sebastian would stop engaging me in his plans. I put that piece of jewel under lock and key.

That was an extremely curious piece. It looks like a pendant but that is not a pendant as there are hooks on both sides. It looks like a piece in a puzzle. 

The renowned Mask Festival is coming up in a few days. I am still considering if I should go or not. 

I am really looking forward to this festival when I first planned my trip. The most famous event for this festival is the Night Market. The things being sold in the night market are said to be 'magical'. There are paper dolls that dance on their own, candle drawings that emit light, paper butterflies fluttering around... They are all artworks by the famous artists of Zehan. They make use of their powers to create pretty things. 

Plus people wander around the magical Night Market in masks. 

Now that I think of it, is it worth it to give up something just because of Sebastian? Someone who might not even be Sebastian? Not at all.

With this thought in mind, I happily went to find Sally to plan our trip to the night market. 

After the night market, it's time I leave Zehan and visit other kingdoms and places. 

Where should I go next?

"You are leaving?" Sally gasped. "Don't leave me here! I am so lonely."

"Well you don't strike me as lonely. You are friend with the princess and daughter of the grand duke."

"Are you jealous, Liana? Don't be. You are my best friend, no doubt about it."

I rolled my eyes. "I just think you are surviving well in Zehan. Do you plan to stay here for the rest of your life? As aunt said Zehan was a great place with lots of well-mannered boys."

I smiled demurely and innocently at Sally.

Sally blushed. "What are you talking about?"

"Just teasing you." I shrug. "Anyway, I can't wait to visit the Night Market!"

"Same! Do you know there is a myth saying that if a couple is able to buy the Mirror of Hearts, they will end up together forever! Happily married!"

I pat Sally lightly on the head. "How old are you? Who would believe in this silly rumor aside from 5 years old kid? And it's very evidently just a way to boost sales."

"Of course, but many people still believe that! They said the artist that made those mirrors had the power to bless people! That's why only a few Mirrors of Hearts are made each year. The artist only sells them to couples she deems she is destined to bless."

"Wow. Then the mirror must be very expensive. What a way to sell her product. Really clever."

"Liana, don't be so practical! It's romantic!"

"Uh-huh. But why are we talking about mirrors? It has nothing to do with us!"

"Oh right. Let's talk about the food! And must buy items!"

By just discussing the Night Market, I felt excited already. Sally and I had already prepared masks for that day. I absolutely cannot wait for Night Market to come.

Red thread of fate draws them together...

Volume 1 Diary of a Reborn Queen
Introverted Queen × Ice King 
At twenty, I died as I watched my country burned to ashes. When I opened my eyes, I became 16 again.
The first thing I plan to do is breaking off my engagement with Prince Sebastian. 
"Let's break off our engagement. I don't want to be Queen anymore. You don't like me anyway." 
This is my life as a reborn queen.



 My mind is racing. 'What's going on?' The weird feeling I had has come back. 

 "Are you sure you didn't send a man to fetch us?" I ask Mother, but she just shakes her head. 

 "Couldn't that female servant have passed on the message to the man we talked to?" Landon asks. 

 "No," Mother says. "Jewel never passes on personal requests to other servants." 

 "Wait, Jewel?" 

 Mother looks at me with a determined look. "Yes, Jewel. This might sound weird to you, but I know most servants by name. I know more than you might think." 

 "I never said you didn't know anything about your servants or anything, but the question remains who was that man?" 

 Mother ignores my question and rings the little bell standing on the table. Not soon after, a servant appears. 

 "Please fetch Mrs. Adams, tell her it's urgent," Mother tells him. 

 Not soon after, the lady I've met yesterday appears. "You called for me?" The woman, Mrs. Adams, says. 

 "Have you seen Jewel?" Mother asks. "We told her to deliver a message, but she never did. Do you know what happened?" 

 Mrs. Adams turns a little whiter. "Actually, I've been looking for her myself, your majesty. She was busy doing some important jobs but she never finished them. I asked the other servants but they all don't remember seeing her." 

 Mother thinks for a while, before saying, "Then another thing, in the end, the message was delivered, but by a man. Maybe you know who it is." 

 "I will need a description to know, my lady." 

 Mother looks at me and Landon. "Do you think you can give a good description?" 

 I smile at her. "Positive." 

 The next few minutes, I'm busy trying to describe the man the best I can, Landon sometimes interrupting. After we're done talking the room stays quiet for a while as Mrs. Adams is in deep thought. In the end, she says, "I've personally employed every single person in my staff, but I know of no man who looks like that." 

 "Are you sure?" Mother asks her. 

 "I'm one hundred percent sure, your highness." 

 Suddenly the lights flash out and because the room doesn't have windows everything turns dark. I hear myself screaming. Quickly, I reach out to Landon's hand, only calming down as he grips mine and lightly squeezes it. 

 That's when it hits me. A dark room, I'm the only one there. A small door slowly opens and I hear a voice snarl, "did we have a nice little nap, princess?" I quickly walk over to the door and just before it closes I see a glimpse of a face, the face of a man, the man I saw in the hallway. 

 As sudden as the lights went out, so sudden the lights turn back on just as a group of guards runs through the door, swords at the ready. 

 "What's going on in here?" one of the soldiers asks. 

 Everyone turns to me as I start crying. 

 "What's the matter?" Landon asks, as he lightly pushes me into a chair. 

 "I-I rem-remember, I remember why I know th-that guy," I say between hiccups. "He-he's one of the guys who kidnapped me." 

 "You mean to say that the man who stole my daughter away from me, has come back again?" Mother calls out. "Find that man!" she practically screams at the guards. "Make sure he's brought to justice." 

 The guards look confused. "But we don't know what this man looks like, my lady," the guard says. 

 Landon quickly stands up. "I will tell you everything you need to know, just follow me." 

 All I can do is sit there while everyone else is totally panicked. Surprisingly, I feel completely calm, like some puzzle pieces just fell into place. 

 I don't notice anything outside my peaceful bubble until a hand grips my arm and pulls me upright. 

 "Wait what-?" 

 "Don't worry, my lady. We're going to take you to a safe place until this man is hunted down," a voice says. I look up and stare into the face of a guard. He seems to be in his thirties and has a nice but stern expression on his face. I instantly know that you shouldn't mess with him. 

 I let him and a group of guards lead me away from the dining room, but not before I pick up a piece of toast with something that looks like jam on it. 

 "Where are we going?" I ask between bites. 

 "We're taking you to your room," the guard answers. 

 "That's the safest place for me?" I ask, my voice drenched in sarcasm. 

 Suddenly we stop. The guard turns to me. "I'd rather take you somewhere outside the castle grounds, but your mother doesn't want to let you go out there. This is the second-best thing." 

 I nod. "I put my trust in you." 

 "I will not let you down." 

 We start walking again, sooner than I'd expected we reach my room. I walk towards the door but the guard stops me, nodding to two other guards to go. It takes a minute or two for them to scan through my whole room and the adjoining ones but they come back satisfied. 

 "What now?" I ask the guard. 

 "Now? Now, you just stay inside your room and we'll be guarding you from the outside. No one will get past us, I promise." 

 I send him a sad smile. "Don't make any promises you can't keep. Sooner or later you will have to rest." 

 "And then other guards come and take over. Every hour we will check on you to make sure you are still alright. Everything will be just fine as long as you stay here." 

 I turn around and go inside my room, closing the door behind me. The rest of the day seems to go by very slowly. When that guard said no one would get past them, he meant it. The only people I see are one or two guards checking up on me. The only time when someone else comes by, it's Mrs. Adams bringing me dinner. I get her to sit with me for a while and to tell me what's happening. 

 "The guards have been looking through the whole castle trying to find that man and that prince of yours, Landon, he's been helping them, he's probably been doing the most out of all the people searching. I'm telling you from one woman to the other, you could have gotten worse." 

 I laugh. "Thanks, it feels good to laugh instead of feeling afraid all the time." Before I stop myself I hug her and after only a slight hesitation she hugs me back. 

 "I know my dear. I know," she says, as she pats my back. 

 Too soon, she leaves again and because I can't think of anything else to do, I change into a nightgown and undo my braid, before climbing in bed. If it is the excitement or the fright, I don't know, but soon I fall asleep. 

 I suddenly wake up a few hours later when someone slaps a hand over my mouth. Startled, I open my eyes. There he is again, my kidnapper.

Em doesn't think herself special, sure she's had a hard life so far but everyone has that. When one day the queen visits her mistress, her world turns upside down. And as she finds out, the more important you are, the more dangerous the rest of the world is.

Yi Lan was troubled throughout the night he drank a bottle of wine to calm himself down but he couldn't take her off his mind.He has never loved any woman in his life before.He didn't know what this foreign feelings really means.He was afraid of getting hurt.Numerous ladies had tried to win his heart and some even had the effrontery to drug him just to have their way with him.Loving someone means that you are ready to get hurt or heartbroken.Maybe he was afraid of loving or maybe he hasn't found the right woman for him.After struggling to get a wink of sleep but to no avail,he finally dozed off.
Two days before the banquet,Lie Ruge and Xiao Bai were at home trying to sort out what they were gonna wear for the big occasion,from the variety of designer and limited editions clothes and jewelleries sent to her by different famous fashion house.Butler Fang entered the living room to deliver another special package.
"Not another one again",Xiao Bai exclaimed in surprise.She has witness this sight every year.It was either on Lie Ruge's birthday,company's anniversary or any other special occasion.Lie Ruge has always gave her majority of the clothes and she also distributed it to all her employees and Butler Fang was in charged of such task.
"Young Miss Xiao,this package was specifically delivered to Young Miss by a man who told me to give it to Young Miss personally.He also said that I should inform you that his boss really worked hard to be able to obtain the gifts inside this package.He said that Young Miss should keep the facts that he told you how his boss worked hard to obtain it a secret or he might really lose his life because of it",Butler Fang relayed the message.
"Taking another look at these boxes,it really looks expensive and special.I can't wait to see the kind of treasures buried inside this boxes",Xiao Bai said with enthusiasm.
"Did you ask for his name",Lie Ruge asked.
"I did Young Miss,but he refused to tell me his name saying that it was a surprise too",Butler Fang answered.
"Ge'er!I love surprises,let's open the boxes now,Ok?".
"All that glitters are not gold,so contend your happiness until you get a glimpse of what is actually inside these pretty looking boxes",
"I don't think so,I'm a pro in this kind of stuff so I can distinguish between what is real and what is imitated.I can assure you that the things inside these three boxes will be worth a few million dollars",
"Ok,since I'm sure it is not bombs that are hidden inside these boxes since the security guards have already scanned the packages,you can go ahead and open it but be careful in case it will be a package that needs to be returned to the sender",
"Yes her highness".Xiao Bai replied happily.Xiao Bai started opening the box,she started with the one with the smallest size.She opened it gently,Butler Fang even offered to assist her but she declined his offer.When she saw what was inside the box,she screamed,"Oh my gosh!Ge'er come and have a look at this priceless jewels.I didn't believe I would see this priceless treasures in this lifetime".
"BaiBai,what so special about this one?You are always excited whenever you see any clothes or piece of jewel",
"This one is different,I told you to have a  glimpse at it but you didn't,anyways let's open all this remaining two boxes together,it will be a lot fun if we do it together huh",
"Ok,stop whining I will assist you with it",
"That is my Ge'er!",
Lie Ruge moved closer to her to see what actually made her vest friend screamed erratically before.She was also marvelled.It was a set pack of diamond earrings,necklace and bracelets.After Xiao Bai had finished admiring the set pack of jewels she went for the second box.The second box was a bit bigger than the first one,it would have took her a longer time to open the box but with Lie Ruge's assistance she was able to open it within five minutes.Everything about the three packages was a mystery.The person who wrapped up the three boxes did it meticulously.It was wrapped in form of a puzzle,you can't get to the see the gifts inside until you have completed the puzzle.Lie Ruge and Xiao Bai were good at solving puzzles that is why it took them five minutes before they could solve the puzzle.
"Wow!Ge'er! I really want to see the shopping maniac who bought all this priceless gifts for you.Look at this particular gift.It is a pair of shoes decorated with the same diamond like that of the jewels.The person must have went through hell to have gotten this sets of gift for you",
"Yeah I can see that,the shoes looks very pretty",Lie Ruge remarked.
"I really want to have a glimpse at what treasure is buried inside the Third box",
"Same here",
"Let's go get it Ge'er",
