Misty World: Start with SSS skill



At this moment, a voice suddenly resounded: "You seem to have a difficult problem to solve, right?"

Hikaru was startled upon hearing that, he then saw Narita sitting on the sofa, holding a cup of hot tea.

Narita took a sip of the tea, and the two sparks in his eyes suddenly weakened as if he were closing his eyes to savor the taste of the tea.

"It's delicious! I didn't think there would come a day when I would enjoy a drink as delicious as this."

Hikaru saw Narita return and let out a sigh of relief. Even though he knew that Narita wouldn't run away, he still felt a little nervous in his heart.

Now seeing Narita, Hikaru was completely free of worries.

"You lived in ancient times, right? Could it be that there was no tea when you lived?"

"Ah!" Narita tilted his head: "So this drink is called tea?"

He looked into the glass of water, the cup of tea also reflected his face. The two sparks in his eyes suddenly swayed as if he was thinking about something.

"In ancient times, I didn't have time to enjoy things like this. No, to be more precise, I don't notice things like this."

"Is that so..." Hikaru said with a smile, "Then life won't be fun anymore."

"Hm? What kind of life is called fun?" Narita looked at Hikaru and asked.

Hikaru shrugged his shoulders and said, "Of course I can do what I like, get a good night's sleep until I wake up without anyone calling me, and eat delicious food."

"Of course there are many other things that make people happy, but for me, that is more than enough."

"Ah! One more thing, I can live with the people we love."

"It seems that you really have no ambition at all." Narita mused, he didn't seem to think that there was a person with no ambition to be the king of a kingdom like Hikaru.

Hikaru smiled and said, "No, I still have ambitions. My ambition is to develop this kingdom, to be able to live to 1 million years, to be able to sleep well without worrying about any problems, to be able to eat delicious food..etc. "

"It's not ambition, it's the normal wish of ordinary people." Narita said.

Hikaru shook his head: "What about normal wishes? But aren't you also unable to fulfill such ordinary wishes?"

Hearing that, Narita looked at Hikaru, then at the tea cup in his hand, and said nothing.

"Narita, my wish is simple, but it is the wish of billions of people. But how many of the billions of people can fulfill that wish?"

"Just like you are now. I think in ancient times, you were also a person of extremely high status, right? But since you've never had a cup of tea, I feel you're pitiful."

"I'm pitiful…?" Narita muttered.

Narita remembered what happened in the past, indeed he did many great things… but… until now, how many people remembered him?

Or have they all forgotten his existence?

Narita shook his head and said, "The tea is delicious..."

Then, he took another sip of the tea, and tasted it carefully.

Hikaru frowned and said, "You… you're a Skeleton, right? How can you drink tea? I mean… you don't have any senses or taste, do you?"

"Ah… I can use magic, no, to be precise I can use Runes to simulate the senses and then transmit them to my brain."

"Although this method is very mana consuming because I have to keep the runes active all the time, for me this waste of mana is not worth worrying about."

Hearing that, Hikaru nodded.

"So… what problem are you having?"

Hikaru then explained the problems he was facing right now. Hearing that, Narita took another sip of tea, savored it, and said, "Hm… I think the only thing that can help you right now is Rune."

"Runes?"

"That's right." Narita explains: "Even though a Builder can build special buildings, he alone cannot do much."

"That's why he needs more runes. There are a few types of runes that help Builders work faster, such as moving and arranging materials."

"However, if you let the Runes work on their own, you need a huge amount of energy to operate. However, this is the best way to meet your requirements."

Hikaru fell into deep thought after hearing that. He knew what Narita was talking about.

Narita's intention was to turn Runes into automatic construction machines that could replace humans. However, the energy to keep those machines running was enormous.

He suddenly asked Narita: "So... what if those Runes were controlled by humans?"

Narita now felt extremely strange, he asked: "Why are you asking like that?"

"If there is a controller, the energy used for those Runes would be quite low. However, it also depends on what kind of work those runes take on."

Hikaru continued: "So… Can ordinary people use it?"

Narita shook her head and explained, "Impossible! In order to use a Rune, the user needs to continuously channel energy into the Rune for it to work."

"But if an ordinary person uses it, it is extremely troublesome. First there needs to be a fulcrum to attach the Rune to, or in other words something that can hold the Rune inside of it."

"After that, you have to install another Rune that will power the Rune to use."

"However, this method is extremely troublesome because the Runes that provide energy also do not possess an infinite source of energy. We also need to constantly recharge the runes that provide energy."

Hearing that, Hikaru sighed, it seemed that things didn't turn out the way he thought.

If it could only be used by people with magical abilities, then ordinary people seem useless in his domain.

Hikaru didn't want that to happen. Although there was a disparity between magic holders and ordinary people, Hikaru wanted ordinary people to also be able to contribute to the construction of the territory.

Only in this way could everyone unite and discrimination or racism could be minimized.

Narita heard this and said, "I know your thoughts, however, it is very difficult to do."

"The first problem is that this requires a vessel and a power supply sufficient for all the external runes to function."

"The second problem is that people who can use magic are arrogant and they won't accept their role and status to be dragged down to that of ordinary people."

"Third, ordinary people who can use runes will be very dangerous and this will cause a lot of problems."

Hikaru knew that Narita was talking about the matter of policing within the territory. Yes, just like on earth, it would be very dangerous for an ordinary person to possess a gun.

However… Hikaru was thinking from another angle.

He said: "If… I had one Rune as the core, it would control and power all the other runes. With that, I can control other runes to my liking, right?"

Narita rubbed his chin for a moment, then set the teacup on the table and said, "Basically it's possible. However, you need to have a secret place and a large enough source of energy to create a nucleus."

"The material that can help you create the core is probably the Elemental Stone, especially the Space Stone. If you have a 5-color Elemental Stone it would be even better because it is the best for transmitting energy."

"However, this way has also been thought of but to do it is a very difficult thing."

"The materials used to make the core are extremely rare, and the energy to maintain the core is also extremely large."

"And the most important thing is that someone could infiltrate and take control of the core, which would be extremely dangerous."

Hikaru nodded. He felt like he was preparing to build the internet.

The core was just the host and the intruder was like a Hacker. So… if he had a core, what would ordinary people use to store the necessary runes?

Another question was asked that made his head hurt.

[Master, you can use the ID card.]

"ID card?" Rika's voice surprised Hikaru.

[That's right. We can improve the ID card into an item like a phone on Earth. That way, everyone who registers in your territory will get an ID card with Runes inside.]

[If you leave the territory, that rune will lose its effect. This can help increase the security of Runes.]

"That's right. Just like a phone, if people want to use a rune for work purposes, they just need to install that rune on the ID card."

"So… we just need to limit the number of runes they can install. Besides, you can also use the Core Rune to manage all active IDs."

Hikaru was overjoyed, as if he had found a way to solve the current problems.

Although he had yet to find the materials and the place to build the core, he did, however, find the path that needed to be taken.

Hikaru said, "Narita, is it difficult to make runes?"

"Hm… actually it's not difficult, as long as you're an Enchanter you can learn it easily. Of course, the higher the Enchanter's Tier, the easier it is for them to learn about Runes and develop Runes."

Hikaru nodded, he felt like he was training programmers in the Fantasy world. Although he didn't know anything about programming, he thought that Enchanters could learn like Narita just said.

Hikaru told Narita his idea that he just discussed with Rika.

Hearing this, Narita was startled, he was also very surprised, he did not think that there was a way to use Runes like this.

So… maybe this will be a revolution that will change the whole world. Even if this world is covered in fog, it wouldn't affect its development.

And of course, the development would probably only lie in this kingdom, in Hikaru's hands.

The other kingdoms will be like cave-dwellers, and his kingdom will be the future of this world.

"Narita, I will take care of the matter of finding materials and building the core. You will be in charge of instructing the others how to create and develop runes."

Narita also felt extremely excited. He didn't know how long he had been excited to do something like this.

He stood up and smiled: "Hahaha… of course. Don't worry, I know Runes better than anyone else."
