[Bonus chapter] Hatching The Egg

[The previous chapter has been edited. I'm a little bit late on the bonus chapter so I'll upload them tomorrow together with the regular chapter. Thanks for reading],

[Ace POV],

After looking around for a few minutes for a place to test the last explosive I had—the one with the explode rune engraved on it—I was finally able to see another clearing down the mountain range. Since I didn't need to descend there to test the explosive up close, I simply decided to throw the explosive a little closer to the area so I could watch it from where I was.

As I contemplated this, I moved a little bit nearer to the clearing I had discovered. I stopped when I realised that the location I was in was ideal for observation before looking at the final metallic ball in my hand.
