From Human to Skeleton: Revived with Infinite System Crystals

Chapter 312: Diving into the History



Ty's gaze was fixed on the old man as he saw him smiling at the broadcast before it ended, leaving Ty enveloped in his thoughts. "50 on 50… I see," he murmured to himself, the gears in his mind turning.

Goey, breaking the silence, stood up. "Well, let's get you back, alright? I'll let you know when to expect another visit, but I imagine your mentor will be with you tomorrow. Besides, he'll probably fill you in on sponsor betting."

Ty, looking towards the guard while his hands remained shackled to the dark stone, asked, "Sure, do you mind if I get the books given to me from the Lt so I can study up on some stuff?"

"Suppose there's no getting out of this fight, right? Even if I proved I wasn't some Demon?"

The guard, casting a confused glance at Ty, responded, "Yeah, it's likely at this point, with how much you've been hyped up and your live fight, it wouldn't matter. But out of curiosity, how could you even prove that?"

"Well, I guess it doesn't matter much, but these black stones are designed specifically to stop a demon from using his ability—I mean skill, right?" Ty pondered aloud, his question hanging in the air.

Goey, intrigued, nodded and leaned back a bit, his interest piqued.

"If I was able to still use my skill, would that prove I wasn't a demon?" Ty proposed, looking for some loophole in his grim situation.

Goey, placing a finger under his chin, mused, "Well, kinda. But maybe you're just that strong to cancel it out, or there's some other factor at play. But it would definitely be something I've never seen someone do."

Ty closed his eyes, delving deep within himself, searching for that inner spark. A warmth began to envelop him, and a visible sheen of sweat emerged, evidencing the strain of his effort.

Just as flames started to flicker to life in his hands, Ty ceased his attempt and took a deep breath, resigning with a soft sigh, "I guess, I can't do it then."

Goey, his expression tinged with surprise, remarked, "I really thought you were going to do it for a second. It seemed like energy was about to come gushing forward, but I suppose those cuffs really work well, huh?"

Ty nodded in agreement. "Well, let's get me back so I can start studying. There hasn't been a 50 on 50 before, right?"

Shaking his head, Goey replied, "No, but they usually try to reinvent the wheel often to keep the excitement up. Just focus on getting to the individual Arenas, and you'll be golden for a while."

Ty, with little left to say, delved into his thoughts, occasionally glancing at his pocket where the fairy wore a look of confusion. She remained silent until they returned to the prison cell.

Goey announced, "I'll come to bring you food when I can and provide you with a light to read your books. It's quite dim, though, so try to manage."

"Thank you. I'm sure my fairy friend will help out with that as well," Ty mentioned, acknowledging the fairy's potential assistance.

Excitedly jumping from his pocket, the fairy exclaimed, "Haha, so you finally need me, aye! Well, I will light up the room as best I can so you may read the books!"

Observing this, Goey couldn't hide his surprise. "She sure is always full of energy, or doing nothing but sleeping, huh?"

Ty responded, appreciating the fairy's enthusiasm, "I guess so. Thanks, fairy."

Goey returned with three books for Ty, each offering a different slice of their world's rich history and lore:

1:History of The Heian Kingdom,

2:The Hero Who Slayed the Demons,

3: The History of the Arena.

"Neat books for sure," Ty remarked loudly, his interest clearly piqued, as the fairy buzzed excitedly around him, eager to dive into the stories themselves.

"We have a bit of time," Ty mused, acknowledging the importance of understanding the context in which they existed, a lesson he attributed to the Demon King's teachings.

As he delved into the books, Ty sought insights that could aid his performance in the upcoming challenges. Hours passed in what felt like moments as he absorbed the written words, seeking any edge he could find.

"This is interesting," Ty remarked, pausing his reading of The History of The Heian Kingdom. "So, the Heian Kingdom didn't achieve total control over the world until the Fiyun Era, some 200 years ago. Before that, the land was divided among five kingdoms, each ruled by one of the families who extinguished the internal flame that once ravaged the planet. It's odd that there's no exact date mentioned."

The fairy, floating near, agreed, "Yeah, that is a bit weird, huh?"

"What's even stranger," Ty continued, "is the lack of detail on why the other four kingdoms fell. The descriptions here are vague. But the characters mentioned in this book—truly interesting figures."

The fairy's question prompted Ty to delve deeper into his thoughts. "Well, like the Daemon mentioned about unique skills, there are mentions of people possessing incredible abilities, such as decaying objects with a touch and others with base skills like X-ray vision. It's fascinating."

He paused, considering the broader implications. "I'm just surprised and curious about how many crystals this planet has. Also, considering the 12 realms or universes—we're in, I'm not exactly sure what to call it, but this might be the Titan Realm."

The concept seemed to expand in his mind as he listed, "So, we have the Angelic Realm, Demon Realm, the Vampire Realm? I guess that's where Erebos comes from. I'm also unsure if the Human or mortal realm is separate from these." Discover more content at мѵʟ

Ty's musings painted a picture of a universe teeming with diversity and complexity, a tapestry of realms each with its unique inhabitants and deities. "But it seems so, from the conversations I've had. Then there's the Titan Realm, as Daemon mentioned—a Titan Goddess, which could have been similar to the Goddess on the current planet Nana and Todd are on."

He sighed, running a hand through his hair, a gesture of both frustration and fascination. "Well, that's at least as much as I have come up with."

The fairy, her expression a mix of wonder and confusion, admitted, "I-is that so… well, I will try to remember all of that. I'm still struggling with the fact we're on another planet. I always thought we were the only life forms."
