Single Wish: Rise Of The Omniscient Paragon



"It's done"

Rosa turned around with a small smile on her face as she informed the group of the spy's death.

Although her face was pale and a little bit of blood was dripping from her nose, she had an expression of satisfaction on her face, her eyes briefly glancing at Anon who was also staring back at her, his eyes having a glint of intrigue.

'He's staring at me.'

A slight blush appeared on her face as she noticed Anon's stare.

Meanwhile Anon not noticing the blush continued gazing at her with intrigue due to his interest in her abilities.

"Uhm, Rosa."

Disrupting him from his thoughts was the voice of Divine. He turned towards Divine and he noticed Divine rubbing his forehead with a frustrated expression.

"Yes Captain?"

Rosa turned towards Divine, her eyes having an innocent light in them and Divine seeing her expression had twitching lips.

"You know what you did right?"

Divine asked and Rosa blinked twice, her head tilted to the side lightly and a confused and innocent expression appeared on her face.

"What do you mean captain? What did I do?"

Divine's forehead throbbed and an expression of constrained anger could be seen on his face.

"Who is going to pay for the damage that you caused? You know the rules of the Underworld."

"Hmm."

Despite Divine's words, Rosa only made a 'hmm' sound, her eyes blinking innocently and no extra word escaped her lips.

Flames spewed out of Divine's eyes as he stared at Rosa with anger.

"What rule are you talking about?"

Anon questioned, disrupting Divine's increasing anger.

Divine turned towards Anon, his teeth ground against each other, and with barely restrained anger he looked at Rosa.

"You know that in the Outer Area, only tier 0 to tier 3 are allowed?"

Divine questioned and Anon nodded. He had read about that in one of the recorded books.

Not only did he know about what Divine said, but he also knew there was a way people at higher tiers could go around that rule.

Value points.

If a person at higher tiers was willing to pay a high price, he or she could then stay in the Outer Area.

"Have you also heard about the Underworld Lords?"

Divine asked once again and Anon nodded. He had also read about it in one of the recorded books, though the information on the Underworld Lords was extremely minute.

The Underworld Lords were Underworld officials that were the leaders of the three areas of the city of sin.

There is the Lord of the Outer Area, the Lord of the Inner Area, and the Lord of the Central Area.

No other information was given on the responsibilities, duties, or purpose of the Underworld Lords. He also had no idea of their strengths or their identities.

It was one of the things Anon decided to find out later in the future when he had the time, though it seemed he didn't have to wait for a much longer time.

"Since you know of the Underworld Lords, do you know of their purpose? Why they're called the Underworld Lords?"

Divine asked and Anon shook his head.

"The reason why there is a tier limit for the three areas of the city of sin is to prevent excessive damage to the areas."

"And this is where the Underworld Lords come into place. When there is a lawbreaker, the Underworld Lords come to arrest the individual or individuals, giving them an appropriate punishment as a result."

"Basically, it's when somebody who is a tier 4 or higher attacks. Or when an ability that is above the capabilities of a tier 3 is used."

"In other words, when a skill containing mystic mana is used! And a certain person decided to use a mystic arrow to kill a damn tier 2!"

Divine glared at Rosa who still maintained an innocent expression despite the accusation thrown at her.

"I had to make sure the spy would die. Besides, can't you pay for the damages? You're rich aren't you?"

Divine stared at Rosa, his expression showing no emotion but deep within his eyes hid a well of rage and pain.

Rosa moved closer to Divine and Divine stared at her, his expression showing not a single emotion as he stared at her.

Rosa reached Divine and with a smile, she bent, her lips extremely close to the ears of Divine.

"It would be good if you activate your noise cancelation skill.

"You already know what I would do if you don't pay for the damages. Apart from breaking your balls once again, something you're already used to, I'll tell everybody in the group your secret.'

Hearing the evil whisper of Rosa, Divine's clenched his fist and his eyes briefly glanced at Melissa.

Without waiting for Divine's response, Rosa walked towards her chair with a chuckle, her lips having a mischievous smile.

As Divine stared at the departing figure of Rosa, a tear threatened to spill out of his eye and his heart felt broken.

'My money.'

Divine thought with immense emotional pain. His eyes then shifted towards Anon and a glint appeared in his eyes.

"Hey kid."

He called out and Anon looked at him with a frown.

"How much are you owing me?

Without waiting for Anon to respond, he asked, his eyes having a strange glint in them.

Anon had furrowed brows as he looked at Divine. He noticed the strangeness in his gaze but he couldn't figure out the reason for the strangeness.

"I'm owing you fifty thousand value points."

Anon replied after he decided to dismiss his thoughts on the strangeness of Divine's gaze.

Meanwhile, as soon as he replied Divine's question, the strangeness in Divine's gaze did not decrease but instead increased.

"Are you sure it's fifty thousand? I thought it was one hundred thousand value points."

Anon blinked as he looked at Divine with baffled light in his eyes.

'Is he... trying to rob me?'

Anon had this baffled thought as he looked at Divine with his head tilted.

Divine blinked repeatedly with an innocent expression, his eyes emitting innocence.

Anon also blinked back at Divine, his eyes containing zero emotions.

After a few seconds, Anon turned away from Divine, shifting his gaze towards Melissa.

"You can tell your pet to change back."

"He has a name and his name is Ouroboros."

Melissa corrected as she shook her finger toward Anon. She then shifted her gaze toward the seventh member of the group.

Anon also shifted his gaze towards the seventh member of the group, a replica of his original identity.

"Boros. You can change back now."

Melissa spoke and Boros turned his head towards Melissa and nodded.

In the next instant, his body changed, twisting in an inhumane manner. His body became shorter, then slimmer. Cracking sounds resounded as his bone structure changed.

A few seconds later, the figure of a male human was nowhere to be seen, and in its place was a white snake that was twenty five inches long.

The snake hissed then it moved towards Melissa, slithering up her arms, eventually reaching her neck.

Melissa gazed at Boros with affection as she rubbed his head. 

Anon gave a short glance at Boros then he placed his finger on a silver ring on his pinky finger which had engravings on it.

He removed the ring and his appearance changed.

His totally black eyes changed to their previous appearance, having black pupils and white sclera. His snow-white hair became black and his face which previously had a feminine beauty in it, changed, becoming more masculine, granting him a different type of beauty.

Anon glanced at the silver ring and as he did, flashbacks of the past appeared in his mind.

Things had worked out much better than he expected in terms of him finding a business partner.

His original plan was to create a different identity, one that was mainly associated with his future narcotic business.

But there was a problem.

He already knew the storm his narcotic, Neon, would produce in the future. 

And to at least keep himself safe from unknown dangers, he decided to create a different identity, which was Anon.

Anon, meaning Anonymous.

But once again, there was a problem with his plan.

In his plans, he would need to associate with Divine's group and if somebody decided to look into it, they would eventually notice that Divine's group decided to start a narcotic business when he joined their group.

And 'coincidentally', an unknown figure from nowhere created a drug that increased the stats of its consumers.

And the unknown figure decided to join Divine's group.

All suspicions would go towards him at the end of the day, which is something he would definitely not want.

But fortunately, Boros, Melissa's pet snake, had a shape-shifting ability. Boros could shape-shift to 'Corey', while he became Anon, using the face-changing ring he bought with Divine's money.

So now, all Corey had to do, was wait for Neon to be in circulation, giving him and the group, value points.

And from there, he could purchase elemental stones so as to practice the Elemental Breathing Technique.
