Instead, he muttered to himself again and again, "Where's my cheat ability? Why did it disappear? Why can't I see the future anymore?! What's going on?!" His expression was twisted with madness, like a rabid dog gone out of control. [That skill was a limited-time quirk for the newbie male lead, and it was bound to be retracted after a week.] [Even if he stocked the wrong supplies, he should've at least gotten food too. But this guy stocked only ice?] [Another brain-dead male lead, abandoned by the system.] At that moment, the signal cut off. I shrugged again, before continuing to eat my grilled meat.

"Woah, were you Minnie, the birthday girl?" Minerva hastily looked at her right when she heard another voice asked. It was a little girl that was around four to five years old. Her light pink hair was in pigtails and her green jeweled eyes shone with curiosity. As for Minerva, although it was also a child who was in front of her, she was still a bit nervous. Especially that strange Marcus was here. She gripped on Julia's skirt as she nodded her head to the little girl. "Wow! Hello, Minnie! I'm Zinnia Soleil Zielony! I'm four years old! My father's Raphael Sol Zielony! And he was the youngest first-generation Saint Archmage!" The little girl, who was Zinnia, proudly said.

He said. I wasted no time. “There’s a lot of things that I do not know how to start explaining but let me start with the one where your expertise is needed.” I brought the map we had found and laid it on the table. “We found this near a rogue outpost. It's enchanted with Zerathos’s magic. We suspect that it leads to either their main stronghold— or one of them, or the forge where they make their weapons.” “Who’s Zerathos?” He asked.

After the Inferno Guild, the next announcement came from the capital's physician's office, Arcane Sanctum. They had sent various precious medicinal herbs, including a century-old rare herb and snow lily. Following Arcane Sanctum was the Tideborn Guild, which also sent rare treasures. Among them, Mystic Pearls were the most prized. They seemed determined to outdo the Inferno Guild, delivering three jars of Mystic Pearls, along with a variety of gemstones. Their offerings filled three entire boxes.

It was the Father’s personal anti-virus, designed to scrub anything that shouldn't exist in the hidden partition. "UNAUTHORIZED PROCESS DETECTED," the Daemon’s voice was a distorted screech of static. "INITIALIZING PURGE." "Zane, front and center!" Elara commanded. Zane stepped onto the hull, his obsidian skin absorbing the dim light of the vault. He didn't just grow; he densified. He tapped into the "Mass" of the deleted files around him, pulling the weight of a thousand forgotten cities into his fists. The Daemon struck with a beam of Binary Acid. Where it hit the Spire, the iridium plates turned into meaningless lines of text.

Zara's blood turned entirely to ice. "They didn't come for the babies, Zara," Silas reported grimly. "Darius Thorne knew exactly what you left inside the open wall safe when you grabbed the bearer bonds this morning. The mercenaries just successfully extracted the physical Master Decryption Cylinder. The Archangel now holds the absolute, undeniable keys to the entire global shadow network."

"This is a threshold now. We have to finish the rite or we won’t be able to contain her magic." Kael's brow furrowed. "Then do it. Fast." Runes around the terrace pulsed red. One of them—the oldest, the one etched with the name of the Firstborn Luna—cracked. The sound echoed like a scream through the stone. Zara arched as power surged up from the ground beneath her. Blood ran from her nose. Her lips trembled, whispering names she didn’t know—languages older than any still spoken. She wasn’t just channeling power. She was remembering it.

The Priestess’s form and her grace in battle were enough to catch his gaze upon her yet his attention was directed towards the mage. “Hmm, I read in the archives that the Zerrohnians long ago were able to use life essence as a means to fight the darkness. I cannot remember the name of what art it was but I believe it was forbidden as it uses the planet's life energy?” “It is magic child, Requiem differs from Ren’veil as this world is somewhat close to the main tendril of the Sea of Stars while Requiem was considerably far and surrounded by many singularities making it very difficult to traverse.”
