Chương 197: Roar of the Dragons (V)
Special announcement New Update Dawn of Mythic Beginning
Legends have been reborn, and creatures of dark and light have been stirring since ancient times. Since the reappearance of Dragons, an old stirring of darkness has been appearing one by one. The blessing of the God of Infinity has bestowed all Adventurers and NPC with the second gift of power. This power pushes the limit of Adventurer and NPC to their second awakening unlocking hidden potential. All Player's level cap has risen to level 500.
Bishop Anglo has completed his blessing around the Draconis Village. A safe sanctuary has been created for the living. Malicious spirits can't enter Draconis Village as long as Bishop Anglo and the Disciples of Infinity are in place.
The Draconis Village shook, and once again, it lifted back into the sky and made its way toward the City of Elements.

The days passed quickly, and soon it was already a month at the Psychic Academy. Kiyro had been going in and out of the Embryo Type II machine. Playing and working out in the game daily, taking short classes during the late afternoon, and finally having free time and rest. Honestly, being provided a good quality meal, clean clothes, and a shower was pretty good, in his opinion. He had all the necessities to survive without lifting a single finger.
It has been a day since the fight with Russ and the escape of the black Dragon into the physical world. By the end of tomorrow night, Draconis Village was going to arrive at Elven city. He hoped there wouldn't be more war, but he knew that wasn't possible. Russ had escaped back to the Kingdom of Terra, and already news was spreading that a large-scale army was underway.
Kiyro walked out of the room and headed towards the cafeteria. His hair was still a bird's nest from sleeping on his bed funny. Luckily, he didn't roll out of bed like last time, causing him to hit his head hard on the floor. That was not an experience he would like to go through ever again.
The cafeteria was partially filled with people getting breakfast. He still did not understand how he couldn't find or meet with Eve anywhere in the building for the past month. The only time was online. He walked over and took a tray of omelets.
Walking over to Kiyro's usual seat, he sat next to Silvia, Daulton, and Ken. They were eating their food and chatting about their daily game life.
"Well, if it isn't Mr. Sleepyhead," said Silvia. "Welcome to the living world. We thought you were dead."
"Not yet," Kiyro replied. He had begun to eat his omelet with his fork.
"How's your mission coming along in Noriene?"
"Decent. We just had a skirmish."
"Really? That sounds fun."
"It is." Kiyro paused to take a bit of the crunchy bacon. It was crisp enough the way he usually liked it. "By the way, what's with this heavy air? Did someone die?" He chuckled at his joke.
Everyone nervously glanced over toward Kiyro and stared.
"Yes."
"Wait?" Kiyro dropped his fork on the plate, startled that his half-assed guess was true. "I was joking, you know."
"Rumors are going around that they will start doing some kind of dangerous experiment on people who don't have strong psychic abilities. Some said that is why Jules died today." Ken replied. He was picking at his food, discouraged.
"Ken's ability hasn't increased for the past three months. So he's worried he might be next." Sylvia replied.
"This isn't even humane. How does the government not know about this? It should've slipped through the net by now." Ken replied with worry.
"You'd be surprised how much of the internet is being watched. Plus, this threat on our neck is the real issue here." Daulton pointed at his neck.
The death collar. Kiyro knew that right now, they didn't have anything in their hands as of now to take it off manually. But, so far, he was so busy with the game that he completely forgot about it.
"You better succeed in all your tests with flying colors. The one coming up is very serious; it's not like the regular check-ups, you know, and it is coming up tomorrow," said Silvia as she waved her fork.
"Damn." Daulton's eyes furrowed.
"You seriously think they won't resort to such actions?"
"I did. It's just..." Ken slumped his shoulder in defeat.
"It doesn't matter. We just need to succeed, and that's all that matters." Silvia cheerfully replied.
She slapped his shoulders to boost his mood.
"I should have seen this coming."
"You don't have clairvoyance, and if you did, I would personally like to know how to get out of here."
"I'm slowly starting to agree with you."
"Really? It took you this long?"
"Well, it was always fun, you know, playing games most of my life."
"I'm going to take a walk for a bit." Kiyro finished his food. He got up to throw it away. "I'll see you guys later."
Daulton got up and followed behind Kiyro. "Hey, Kiyro!"
Kiyro stopped in the middle of the hallway and turned around.
"I want to ask you something."
"Yea?"
"Are you Zero?"
Kiyro stood silent, and his eyes narrowed. "Why do you ask?"
"I thought so." Daulton chirpily replied. "I'm M2."
"What? You're the cat?" Flabbergasted, Kiyro felt weird. It was like a bus ran him over and made him freeze. He had to reel in his shocked mind momentarily. "Your personality is completely different in-game."
"Yea, about that...huh. Anyways, I had a gut feeling that you were Zero for a long time. I just didn't know if I should ask or not."
"I am."
"Don't worry; I won't tell anyone. Plus, I uphold my end of the bargain. One last thing, if you see Syren, it's me, okay? So it's a fair deal for trade secrets."
"Syren?"
"It's another persona that I go by. But, don't get me wrong, I do it because I need another way to gather information." Daulton smiled. "You'll know what I mean when I show you later."
"Why did you suddenly ask if I'm Zero?"
"Well, I thought it would be nice to have a friend in real life. Plus, I was hoping you could introduce Agnes and her female friends to me. I wanted to talk to her and maybe get a date or two with either her or someone else. I want a girlfriend." Daulton smiled cheerfully.
