I Sign In, You Bow Down

Ch 6: Violet Tempest Battle Armor

"Then… Dean Emrys, we are leaving!"

A man who didn’t seem to be more than 28 years old looked at an extremely handsome young man and spoke respectfully. There was no arrogance in his voice. There was only a deep sense of caution and reverence.

It has been three days since Max and others came to Base 12. By now, they've become slightly familiar with Emrys. At least, they now know Emrys's name and the fact that he was brought to Base 12 by Jace, the previous Dean of Base 12.

Now, Emrys was the Dean here. 

Emrys glanced at Max and the seven students who stood quietly behind him. Their eyes occasionally flickered toward the young man under the tree, filled with awe and lingering fear. Although they didn’t fully understand what kind of person Emrys was, they instinctively knew that he was not someone they could afford to provoke.

"Hmm."

Emrys gave a light nod. His tone was indifferent.

He leaned back slightly in his wooden chair beneath the towering tree with an unreadable expression. The dappled sunlight falling through the leaves highlighted his handsome features, making him look ethereal and detached from the world.

Max bowed slightly and gestured for the students to follow him. "Let’s go."

The seven students didn't say a word. One after another, they lowered their heads and walked away, not daring to even look back. The atmosphere around Emrys was too oppressive. Just being near him made their skin crawl.

As they disappeared beyond the trees, silence returned to Base 12.

Emrys opened his eyes slowly and looked at the spot where they vanished. His gaze was calm, but his mind was already working.

"They've improved a lot in just three days. Is the Virtual Training Hall truly that marvelous?" Emrys muttered in a low voice.

He looked down at his own hands and then toward the sky above the canopy. The breeze rustled the leaves overhead.

After a few seconds, Emrys smiled faintly. "Let’s see what today's Sign-in brings."

.....

That evening...

_Silent Order Academy, Base 8_

It was a vast plane with extremely dense Mystic Energy.

An entire city was built deep underground in this vast plane. This city had every facility available. There was even a fake sky above.

Inside one of the core building in this city, a middle-aged man with a majestic aura was sitting cross-legged, absorbing the surrounding mystic energy. From time to time, strands of terrifying energy would erupt on his body.

The surrounding space seemed to be slightly distorted due to the existence of this middle-aged man.

"Dean, a major change has occurred at Base 12!"

A panicked voice suddenly echoed, breaking the original silence.

Immediately afterward, Max and the others quickly entered the room. Their expressions were flustered as they hurriedly arrived beneath the middle-aged man.

It turned out that this middle-aged man was the Dean of Base 8.

After Max and the others entered, the middle-aged man slowly opened his eyes.

"Speak, what happened!" Dean of Base 8 said indifferently. His voice carried an extremely ethereal aura, giving people a very strong sense of oppression.

"Reporting to the Dean, after we entered Base 12..."

Max then slowly told Dean what happened after they entered Base 12. The seven students next to him also supplemented the details.

From entering Base 12, encountering the bizarre situation, the incredibly powerful Moon Spirit Cat, the changes in Base 12, and Emrys's strength, they told the Dean of Base 8 everything in detail.

After they finished speaking, the middle-aged man frowned slightly. A hint of doubt appeared in his eyes.

"Alright, I understand. You may leave!"

After listening, he dismissed Max and the others and fell into deep thought.

Moon Spirit Cat...

Emrys Solstice...

"Jace... Is this your backup plan? Why are you so stubborn? Even in death, you don't want us to obtain that thing!"

The middle-aged man murmured as a flash of light in his eyes. Then he stood up silently and disappeared, leaving a series of words.

"I'm going to the academy to report an important matter to our Principal. You take care of everything in our base for the time being."

No one knows who spoke, but a different voice soon echoed in the air. "Yes, Dean!"

.....

Early morning the next day...

_Base 12_

Emrys stretched lazily and slowly got up from the bed. A powerful energy burst out of Emrys's body. Then, Emrys walked out of the wooden hut.

Not far away, Luna quickly climbed onto Emrys's shoulder and gently rubbed against Emrys's body.

Emrys stroked Luna in his arms with a smile, and said, "Luna, let's go down the mountain today! Let's see if there is anything interesting nearby."

Truth be told, Emrys really didn't want to go down the mountain. The days lying here were too comfortable. Lying down and Signing in, slowly improving his cultivation. Such a life was something even immortals wouldn't want to trade.

At the same time, Emrys silently recited in his heart.

"System, I want to Sign in!"

【Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully signing in!】

【Reward: Sixth-rank armor, the Violet Tempest Battle Armor!】

With a flash, an armor emitting a gentle glow appeared in Emrys's hand.

'A sixth-rank armor, not bad, not bad.'

Emrys looked at the Violet Tempest Battle Armor in his hand, feeling a burst of joy in his heart.

Basic treasures in Duskmoor are divided into nine ranks, Rank 1 being the weakest and Rank 9 being the strongest treasures. These ranks also correspond to each cultivation realm. In other words, Rank 9 Treasures or Weapons could be used by a War Emperor. Rank 6 Battle Armor like the Violet Tempest Battle Armor can be used by a War Lord.

It is said that there are treasures above Rank 9. They are called Royal Treasures. Royal Treasures are divided into three ranks: Royal Silver, Royal Gold, and Royal Supreme.

But, whether the rumors about Royal Treasure are true or not, no one knows.

As Emrys held the armor in his hand, a detailed explanation appeared in front of his eyes.

【Violet Tempest Battle Armor: A Sixth-Rank Armor, forged using Tri-phase Stellar Reactor and Adaptive Nano-Spirit Array. It draws ambient mystic energy and converts it into high-density battle energy. When synchronized with the warrior's aura, it unlocks the armor's full offensive potential. Its nano-spirit array reacts to the user's spiritual intent. It dynamically reshapes armor plating, strengthens defensive areas mid-combat, and can even analyze enemy attack patterns to provide real-time defensive adaptations.】
