Re: Player

[Adam's POV!]

Standing at the side of the huge boat, I looked at the Holy City once again. It was about time that I should leave this city.

"It was a 'short' but good time," I spoke with a smile on my face as I observed the temple from a distance at the top of the mountain.

"You really are leaving, huh?" beside me was one of the most beautiful women in this city… no in the entire Aurelian Empire. The Goddess of Light, Alepsia, herself.

"I will return sometime in the future. Though we could meet in the Great City of Light a few years later," I answered her and she nodded with a calm look.

"Thank you for the gift, too. I don't know if I really deserved it though," I spoke as I recalled the gift which I got protecting the city from the Dark Mages.

"Glad you like it. Anyways, you are heading to the Border Town in the East, right?" She changed the topic and not pursuing it further, I too answered her question,

"Yeah. Ellisville. The one that reaches the Nirvana Empire."

"Is that so? Well. I bet you already have something from that place to take too… though be careful. Despite being under a Goddess, the nation of Life is ruled by the 12 Saints."

"I will be careful," I looked at her with a reassuring smile. I already knew what kind of place that nation is, but as long as I don't create any big waves, I doubt there would be any problems at all.

"That smile again, huh? Why do I feel you are going to stir another storm there?" She made an awkward smile before she shook her head as she vanished from there.

"Good luck on your journey. Let's meet later," I heard her voice in the air as I answered her," sure."

-HONK!!!!

A loud siren signaled the deeparture of the ship, and my travel journey began once again.

It was unfortunate that the teleporter was still not built in the holy city due to presence of Dark Energy within the air from the demon continent, otherwise that could have saved about 2 weeks worth of time.

[Author's note: I am putting up the geography and history of the area together. Then I will send the images as well as the information of all the visited areas in the discord group. Be sure to check it out when it's done. While it would enhance the experience, it won't cause any problem not knowing them.]

"So what should we do in this 2 weeks time?" I thought as I first looked at my system at the new things that I got from the mission.

[Grimoire of Truth(Unique)!]

[Description: Created by the world's best mana spiritualist, this Grimoire contains his essence in it. This was created in order to rectify the taboo done against the High Saint of Goddess of Light, and was given as a gift to her. Though it also contains a minor curse that has never been touched upon.

Restrictions: Level 400+

Effects: ???

Skills: ???

Curse effects: ???

Remarks: Why do you even have this?]

When I first saw this, it was hard to explain my emotions. I did not know whether to be happy or sad about it. Though Alepsia said that this Grimoire has a strange curse.

It decreases the life force of the person over time and gives it to the original owner. Instantly reminded me of the Chalice of Equilibrium.

Alepsia said that she doesn't have any use of it. Neither she can risk anything with her saints with this book. She was waiting for a chance to remove the curse somehow but nothing came up for quite long.

In the end, she decided that perhaps I would be able to do something with it. It's not like she was planning to scam me since she asked me if I wanted something else instead of it. But after giving it a little thought, I decided to keep it.

At worst, I could use it in the Chalice and geet something else.

Other than this, I got a gift from System as well,

[Protector of Light (Unique Title)!]

[When fighting against forces of Darkness, while protecting any creature of light, the effect of all abilities increased by 10%!]

It was the reward of the mission that Alepsia gave me, and since I didn't have any title right now, I welcomed it with open arms.

Title.

It's as it sounds. An added effect to your system that gives rewards based on specific situations. You can only have one Title at a time, but you can store multiple titles, so in the end it's upon the user on how many titles he has and how he uses them.

Also, only one user can have a specific title, meaning nobody else would have the title [Protector of Light], other than me… probably.

"Now what shall we do?" I wondered, as I had to spend the time somehow. Training and reading can be done with the help of the [Extras] so I need not to worry about it. As for increasing my mana concentration by meditation, I guess I can do that here.

"Well. I have been doing this and that continuously, I guess i should take a break too," I decided that overworking too much won't be good either. So for a change, let's talk to the passengers.

'I am not hoping for any valuable information, but let's see if we can get something from them,' I thought as I finally decided on it.

Giving one last look at the system, I entered into the boat where the rest of the passengers were present.
