2021-09-24 01:35:37As Manasi prepared to teleport to another world, he remembered his guard friend, Jorge, the one he was trying to save in the building.
"Spirit System, please check a person named Jorge at a place not far from where we merged."
"Contractor, you mean the guy who was lying by the side of the street in a blue suit with his legs broken?" Spirit System
"Yes, how did you know?" It mystified Manasi how precise the Spirit System is in recognizing a person.
"Contractor, when I came near you, he was watching in your direction until his last breath.' Spirit System
Manasi could only close his eyes and slowly accept Jorge's death.
"I met Jorge two years ago when I moved out of the church and stayed in the apartment. Jorge, who is in his thirties, has a wife. And their little kid is three years old this year."
"At that time, Jorge and I became brothers, because Jorge's wife often came to visit the apartment building and gave her husband a homemade lunch box with their young child following her around."
"Sometimes Jorge's wife gives me launch boxes." Manasi said as if telling a story.
Memories of his friend Jorge came to his mind and he remembered them one by one.
"All flesh is like grass, and all the glory of man is like the flower of the grass. The grass withers and its flowers fall." He closed his eyes.
"Sorry Jorge at the end, I couldn't save you." He said as he smiled with sadness.
'Sigh'
"Do not worry about your children and your wife, I will meet them in the future and help them. It is my promise to you as my friend."
"Spirit System tell me what kind of planet we are heading to?"
'Contractor, first, I will give you two options. Among the inhabited and desolate planets, the inhabited planet is much more difficult to enter than a desolate planet.'
'The inhabited planet you can enter is the middle-rank planet. While the desolate planet, on the other hand, has a much higher rank, a high-ranked planet.' Spirit System
'So what would be your choice, Contractor?' Spirit System.
Manasi did not agree immediately but thought for a moment.
"What are the advantages and disadvantages between the desolate planet and the inhabited planet?"
Manasi said he considers the pros and the cons.
'Contractor, compared to the desolate planet, the inhabited plane still has a lot to do. Inhabited planets can communicate and trade.'
'While desolate planets are not suitable for habitability, they have one advantage as the legacy of their past inhabitants.
'But keep in mind that the desolate planet you are heading to is a high-rank planet. It had greater danger, but its benefits are bountiful.' Spirit System
"Spirit System, I decided to enter the desolate upper planet!" He said with resolve.
'Of course, contractor.' Spirit system
Manasi knew that he had to take his chances on a planet of higher rank.
The Earth is in trouble and he needs to get stronger.
He must make a bet, even if the risk is much higher.
Manasis' eyes become sharp. "Spirit System, [Teleport] upper planet, and using [Guide] for a favorable planet"
'Yes! Contractor.' Spirit System
A space vortex suddenly appeared on Manasi's legs and engulfed him.
When he first appears in space, he notices a nebula-like cloud covering the Earth. Manasi felt the terrifying presence.
"I can see it, its deep darkness that covers the earth. Even from afar, I can tell it is death itself." Manasi said slowly,
He passed by the other planets and could see the Earth in its entirety as he traveled.
The Earth's view becomes smaller and smaller as he travels further and further away from his home planet.
"I always thought, how beautiful the world was, and if I could see it much nearer, it could be considered to have fulfilled one of my dreams."
"That planet that I pass by is quite beautiful; it has a crystal-like appearance. Planets that are covered with different colors and textures." Manasi said longingly.
'I am now traveling toward a higher planet, but I have not even managed to get out of the East Country.' He thought sarcastically.
"Spirit System, can I ask something?"
'Yes, Contractor' Spirit System
"Spirit system, teleport, and travel are not the same thing, right?" Manasi said this while he felt spacious about the Spirit System.
'Yes, contractor, why do you ask?' Spirit System
"Spirit System, what we are doing now is not teleporting, we are simply traveling." Manasi said calmly
'.....' Spirit system
"..." Manasi
'....Contractor, I'm saving energy, so we can only.' Spirit System
"Spirit system, perhaps you have a taunt skill right? and it automatically activates to taunt me, right?"
"..." Spirit System
Manasi slaps his forehead while massaging it. Finally, he could see the planet that they were heading to.
"Spirit System, so this is how huge a high planet is?" Manasi said with amazement.
"I never thought a high-ranking planet was a thousand times larger than Earth. This planet is light brown."
"Maybe this planet is a desert. There are four miniature suns and four moons? Wow. These four miniature suns and moons did not have the same color."
"Some were deeper in color, while the other miniature suns and moons were much lighter." Manasi said while he pondered over it all.
"Spirit System, please use [Observer] on this planet."
'Contractor I cannot as it requires direct contact to cast [Observer] on the planet.' Spirit System
'Contractor, this is the best higher planet the ability [Guild] can find and the most suitable planet to find energy.' Spirit System
He was about to arrive on the planet, but without any warning, he felt the space being twisted and Manasi disappeared from his location.
He reappears in a desert place on this desolate planet.
"Arg!"
He holds his stomach while groaning.
It was his first time traveling to another planet and he did great at holding his stomach, trying not to throw up.
But without anyone's warning, the Spirit system suddenly teleported him.
Causing his stomach to become upset as he vomited on the desert ground. He finishes vomiting. His face looks pale.
He then scans the surrounding scenery.
Gravel rocks, over humps and trenches, potholes and pebbles, far as the eye could see atop the brown earthen crust, a surface that looked as hard as a boulder and somehow even less attractingThe clouds have hidden in the dusty air, as it swings back and forth, reflecting the very breath of men, the unforgiving suns that burn the flesh of men. It is not a desirable place.
He thought for a moment that since this planet has four suns from the east, west, north, and south, it meant that this planet would never get dark.
Even if it got dark, it would be just a couple of minutes.
He took a deep breath to calm himself down.
"So I'm teleported to a desert place."
"The situation is disadvantageous for me, as the heat from the sun is twenty-four-seven, around the clock."
'Is there even a clock here? How can they calculate time here when they don't have a concept of day and night?'
He ignored such thoughts and focused on the urgent situation.
'If I don't find a cover... It will cause me to have heat stroke or even dehydration.' He thought while gritting his teeth.
"In this place, the earlier I find a water source, the better. Even though the breathable air is limited, if this continues, I won't last long in this kind of harsh environment."
"It is simply not meant for humans to be here...I'm starting to lose moisture.... This is bad." Manasi said as he gritted his teeth.
"Spirit System, why did you teleport me to a desert place?"
'Contractor, this whole world is a desert.' Spirit System
Manasi is still angry even though the system explains it to him, so he asks again. Just to confirm.
"Spirit System, why did you not teleport me to a favorable place?"
"Contractor, this is a favorable situation." Spirit System
"..." Manasi stares blankly ahead.
"I thought using the [Guide] ability would help me pick the best and most suitable planet for myself." Manasi
'Yes, Contractor, this is the most suitable planet for you. As for the other higher planets, they will kill you in a matter of seconds the moment you arrive.'
'This is the only desolate high-rank planet that is breathable.' Spirit System.
He could not reply to this answer.
He did not continue to argue with the system, as he would not be able to win and his situation is still critical.
'This place smells like sulfur.' Manasi thought.
"Spirit System, is there water in this desert?" He is thirsty and his throat is already dry.
'Contractor, according to my calculations, even without using the [Observer], the water is already dry. The chances of the contractor finding water are nil.' Spirit System
When Manasi heard what the system was saying.
He stood there unmoving and staring into space in silence as if his soul had just escaped from his body.
Manasi suddenly thought of something.
'The spirit system surely anticipated that the desolate planet had no water.'
As if the spirit system heard what he was thinking, the system suddenly started displaying words.
'Contractor, the system has already prepared potable water to last five days and rations.' Spirit System
Manasi gritted his teeth as he clenched his fist. The system is surely doing it on purpose.
He felt nervous about not knowing anything about this planet.
He needed to know the details about this planet or he would die without knowing why.
"Spirit System Is there any danger on this desolate planet?"
'Yes, Contractor.' Spirit System
"Spirit System, What are the dangers?"
'Dehydration, hunger, heatstroke, and, finally deadly monsters.' Spirit System
"Monsters? It's an uninhabited planet, right?" He was dumbfounded that there are still living creatures on this planet.
'Are you trying to pull my leg back, spirit system?' He thought bitterly
'Contractor, it is a non-living monster, a bio-creature of a past civilization, the technique of alchemy that created the homunculus.'
'It doesn't need food to eat, and they're like the undead, with excellent fighting instinct and unimaginable power.' Spirit System
'Gulp!'
"Undead monsters? I'll be instantly killed!" He said nervously.
'Yes you are, contractor, the homunculus has an average strength of ten advanced tanks from your home planet.' Spirit System
"...." Manasi blankly stares ahead.
These monsters can practically destroy a city on their own!

Chapter 206 End Of Book 1
After that great battle against the Calamity Tortoise and the Leviathan, Manasi suggested using the shell of the Calamity Tortoise as material to reconstruct the Amber City.As Ben had found out, the shell of the Calamity Tortoise was the hardest material he had seen.Even the materials on his home planet paled in comparison.When Empress Shenna and Princess Anna heard the decision, they also suggested changing the name of the Amber City, and to Manasi's dismay, the new city would be called by his surname, "Shalom City."The Shalom City would be the very center and safest stronghold of humanity.Hence, he planned to expand the Shalom City ten times more than the Amber City, and the walls would reach a hundred meters tall.A wall that would be purely made from the Deity stage Calamity Tortoise.It had to be mentioned that Ben had used the combination of the Leviathan's thick skin and the shell of the Calamity Tortoise
Chapter 205
They had used everything they had. They had run out of options to stop the Leviathan from wreaking havoc on Amber City.Despair could be written on the faces of the civilians."Manasi, where are you..." Blossom could be seen with a pale face as she uttered that while clenching her fist.When everything seemed so hopeless, there was always a light that shone in the darkness.From the carcass of the Calamity Tortoise, its back abruptly erupted, then there was a flash as a silhouette of a man arrived right before the Leviathan charge connected to the Amber City defenses.Little Autumn and Blossom were the first to recognize Manasi, as they were the ones with the highest level in the group.Then, at almost the same time, they shouted."Manasi!""Brother!"......Manasi had just finished absorbing the Calamity Tortoise
Chapter 204
Seeing the pitiful action of the second enormous being that was pushing its head toward the huge tortoise creature.As if waking it up, made Ben and the others understand that the battle was far from over."Ben, how many more charges can the Sky Arc fire?" Don Alfonso asked solemnly.He could predict what the octopus-fish like creature would do next.Hearing that, Ben gritted his teeth."Three... No, at most four charges... before the weapon system shuts down."At this very moment....."Rwwrrrr!!!!!"The Leviathan let out an earth shattering roar, filled with rage as it discovered the Calamity Tortoise was dead.The Leviathan's green eyes gazed at the Amber City with animosity.Then the surrounding waters start to rise, wave after wave coming bashing at the walls of the Amber City, crumbling it apart.Seeing that the Amber City was about to be submerged by the waves, Little Autumn, in her
Chapter 203
"Hmmm?"Manasi saw the sky blue and brownish clouds of what seemed to be elemental energy that was gathering.Because of its density, it was about to liquify.[Contractor, hurry up and absorb that energy before it disperses, as it came from the final heart of the Calamity Tortoise.]With that being explained, Manasi deactivated his buffs.As his body strength returned to normal, he could then start absorbing the elemental energy with peace of mind.Although that elemental energy was not suitable for him.However, because of the Spirit System that was filtering that elemental energy and converting it into a non-elemental form of energy.Manasi could now easily absorb that energy into his pours.He then took a meditative position, as he had to concentrate and, at the same time, he was submerged by the cloud of energy.His power was noticeable, being raised to its full potential. He could even sense
Chapter 202
From the birds' eye, a shockwave that was way bigger than the mountains that were stacked together could be seen heading toward the Amber City that was enveloped by the lightning barrier.At the same time, Ben had positioned the Sky Arc in hopes of preventing the shockwave from passing through, and Little Autumn was already ready to give her all to defend the Amber City.Ultimately, the shockwave arrived as the banging sound of the impact as it struck the lightning barrier, as cracks emerged like glass and scattered into the air.At that very moment, no one knew that a miracle would happen when the lightning barrier collapsed.While the parents were covering their children in their arms while foreseeing their impending doom.However, there was only silence, as the second enormous shockwave that they expected did not come.The little girl in her father's arm peeks out her head."Father, there's no more "waves"..." She
Chapter 201
The Calamity Tortoise had no more options left. It had to quickly restore its life essence before the being that was destroying his insides found his heart.With that, the Calamity Tortoise charged at the lightning barrier of the Amber City, at the same time being bombarded by projectiles.However, it did not stop the Calamity Tortoise's desperate charge.Seeing that, the people of Amber City gasped nervously. Even the Empress that was watching from her palace couldn't help but crush the armchair she was sitting on.At that moment, the Calamity Tortoise head connected to the lightning barrier.'Boom!'The impact almost shocked the foundation of the Amber City, but fortunately, the Calamity Tortoise's second attempt was futile, as there was no apparent damage to the barrier.The Calamity Tortoise staggered backward while shaking its head from the impact.It was confusing how the thin barrier was abl
