2023-01-23 18:41:40Min-yin stared at Evangelist with wide eyes. Awakening just like Argus? That was something big, on top the Thunder Goddess, Evangelist entertained a child's requests? What was the world coming to?
“You offered him a fight?”
Min-yin watched as Evangelist nodded.
“So what was the outcome of the fight?”
Evangelist looked at her nearly empty cup and looked back at Min-yin. “I lost, he managed to make me use my left hand to block his attack after I said I won't.”
The latter was stupefied beyond belief, an A-ranked hunter lost to a mere child? No matter what kind of prodigy he is, it should've been a squash match. She found herself licking her lips subconsciously, a strong man. Arthur was indeed becoming a strong man, Min-yin had to keep her fangirlish side under control.
However, her gestures weren't missed by Evangelist, she just shook her head. She knew how her friend could be once she starts her fantasies about her knights in shining armor rescuing her, the damsel in distress. “Min-yin, He is still a child you know that right? Here's barely 18.”
Min-yin was flastered, she poked her fingers together before it clicked. “Wasn't he turning 18 in 3 months? To me he is 18.” she smirked and decided to tease Evangelist more. “Or are you saying that because I showed interest in your source of interest?”
Evangelist resisted the urge to face-palm, what on earth is wrong with this woman? Was the thought flowing through her mind. She cleared her throat, intentionally changing the topic because she knew how her friend could be like. “ Anyway, since tomorrow is the preliminaries. Which hunting guild do you think will accept newbies? Cause I saw that multitude of talents from all over South Korea are participating.”
Min-yin just shrugged, she had no interest in the hunters exams but remembered that Arthur was going to take part in the exams as well. She propped her face inside her palm, looking way unimpressed. “Dunno, but I do know that the Crimson guild will be accepting, they always hog all the strong newbies around. No wonder they are number one in the whole of Korea.”Evangelist nodded, it was indeed true. The Crimson Guild was one power hungry guild, having one World-ranker as their guildmaster. They had powerful rankers in their midst and their gate clearing score was unparalleled. “Well it might be fun to watch.”
Having said her piece, Evangelist stood up and walked to the door, lingering behind her, Min-yin. They stopped outside, just a few feet away from the crosswalks waiting for the light to become green for pedestrians to cross.
“So are you going to retire from the Orphanage and resume active duty as a hunter?” Min-yin asked, looking straight at the traffic lights.
“Yeah, the chairman said that, the government is going to hire a new matriarch to take care of the children. They said that, the number of gates that had opened are too many and the other hunters are thinned out trying to clear them.”
Silence lingered afterward, the two headed their separate ways after the light turned green. Evangelist heading to her guild while Min-yin headed home.
.
Arthur sat on the top branches of the Sakura tree in the courtyard. It had been a while since he had discovered his innate ability. He was still giddy about everything that had happened, even if Aether tried to suppress those charms about Arthur he couldn't do it whole. The boy's quirks stuck.
『Requirement met: Used Blood Orchid One Time.
Stacked Blood Orchid twice. + 20 points allocated New class unlocked: CultivatorCultivating stage: 1.Black feather rewarded.
+ 1,000 gold coins allocated Tear of the fallen one rewardedLeveled up: Level 2Extra-skill, Cultivation scripture call of nature. 』Arthur watched as the pop up messages notified him of the changes that had occurred, he did not know, that if he used Blood Orchid he would get these rewards, and to tell the truth he was excited.
“Gold coins? I wonder what those do.” He mused to himself and pressed the cart icon opening the system shop.
『Arodis System store.
Amount: 1,000 gold coins
Healing drink: 100 coins
Anti-paralysis drink: 150 coins
Oars dagger : 500 coins
First aid kit: 450 coins
Healing ornaments : 300 coins
Featherine Ring: 700 coins 』
Arthur's eyes scanned through the shop list. He had tried to cash out the coins but for some reason the system didn't allow that. He settled for buying with them. His fingers clicked on the Featherine Ring and the healing drinks.
He watched as the message informing him of his successful purchase dinged and the items moved to his inventory. Opening the inventory, Arthur clicked on the Featherine ring and opened the information tab.
『Featherine Ring: a ring blessed by the fowls roamind the heavenly mountains. When activated, a fowl feather bracelet encase the wearers hand giving them a shield of wind for ten minutes and allows them increase their evasiveness and reaction speed.
Cannot be traded or sold』Arthur scoffed, but everything was good. He stood up from the branch and clicked the ring. It appeared in his palm and he wore it on his middle finger besides the Ring Of Archeon.
“Cultivation huh? It seems like my past life abilities are slowly getting integrated into this one, interesting. I wonder.” Arthur mused to himself yet again,
He jumped from the tree top and gracefully landed on the courtyard, the Moons luminosity beaming down on him making him appear more majestic.
It was at this point, that Evangelist had returned from her guild and she was struck in her place. The boy... No teenager to be young adult standing there under the moonlight as if commanding it. Min-yin's words rang in her head, she shook her head and slapped her cheeks before scarrying away to reflect on what she had seen.
Arthur turned around having felt a pair of eyes watching him, he didn't see anything out of the ordinary aside from the silhouette made by the large building behind him. He shrugged and headed inside, skipping bed all together opting to rest and preserve his energy for tomorrow.
.
Evangelist stood in front of the mirror in her room. She had her black lacy nightware on, in her hand she had a ribbon which she used to tie her hair into a bun. She stared at her reflection on the mirror.
“Am I truly starting to like him?”
“But that's absurd is it not?”
“Maybe, Min-yin was right.”
Evangelist shook her head and headed off to bed. Her mind tumultuous from what she had sighted. Tomorrow was going to be a spectacle, as such she needed all the energy she could gain.

Chapter 88: The True King Foreshadowing
Linux and Arthur froze in their tracks when they heard the voice—they were not just married, but they were parents in this universe and hearing the croaking voice of the little girl with white hair, wide blue eyes talk to them made Linux jump into action—her motherly instincts kicking in despite the foreign nature to her and she crossed the distance from the foot of the bed to Anastacia in a blink of an eye showing that her powers weren't fully gone. Linux wrapped her hands around Anastacia and tears fell freely from her eyes—she was not certain about why she was crying but she felt the need to and she subconsciously ran a hand through Anastacia’s hair. “My baby.” She whispered, the memories of the her existing within this universe flooding into her mind—painting a clear picture of how her family looked like. Aside from Anastacia, there was another child. A boy the age of 8 with striking resemblance to Arthur—Linux released Anastacia, the tears on her face drying up by themselves th
Update on my life
Hey lovely readers, I haven't been in the bestest of conditions that's why I had to temporarily pause the story and my other stories. But now I am back, and ready to dazzle with the conclusion to Arthur's story to being the strongest in modern day world, I'll start updating regularly from tomorrow onward ^^Thank You For your patience
87: IN THIS WORLD WE ARE A COUPLE?
As the explosion died down, a bruised Arthur and Linux stood near the edge roots of energy. They held their breaths, anticipating to see the product of their combined effort to defeat the adversary before them. “Insolent fools,” Arodis's voice pierced through the dimensional rift as the last bit of energy circulating where he was dissipated. Arthur and Linux were astounded at the resilience the mechanical monster before them had, the attacks were enough to shake the void realm they were in and cause destruction on a greater scale and yet the target of their attacks only suffered getting his right side blown away. Their shock did not last long as the Qi levels started to rapidly rise, skyrocketing to a point the dimensional rift showed cracks in its edges. “Something is coming” Arthur informed his new comrade. Linux nodded, she could feel the foul Qi resonating around them. Having been connected to the Source, it made it easier for her to detect presences linked to Oblivion. Arod
86. COMMON ENEMY
Arthur spectated the interaction until the towering mechanical being hit Linux, he tightened his grip around his sword. Even if the woman was a menace and a thorn in his side, Arthur was not going to stand by and watch her get hurt. He dashes over to Linux and caught her. His gesture startled the woman who was unsure of what to do. She had been trying to ruin him at every chance she got and yet he was there to rescue her when she needed help. Why? Why was he so selfless? Everything was because of her, he lost everything. His friends, his reality, and his home world all because she was following a fool's goal. Linux looked at Arthur, “Why did you help me?” Arthur acknowledged her question but never paid attention to her. His eyes were focused on Arodis, the speed the latter had struck Linux with was something they had yet to deal with. His vision could not track the hand movement of Arodis until Linux was hit and Arthur was positive that he could track even light moving through
85. THE TRUE ORIGIN OF HUMANITY'S SUFFERING
Linux dashed forward and delivered a roundhouse kick to Arthur, the latter blocked the attack with his right forearm and used his left hand to grab Linux's ankle. Arthur twisted his body around generating enough momentum to send Linux flying but instead of releasing his grasp, he smashed the latter on the ground creating a large crater with Linux's body. He was not done, he stabbed his sword near Linux's face and chuckled. The woman was as fast as ever, she managed to narrowly avoid his attack by just an inch when she moved her head. But it did not matter to Arthur, he still had a hold on her ankle. Or so he thought. Linux kicked Arthur on the chin making the latter stagger backward, slightly disoriented from the power behind the blow. Arthur regained his bearing and launched his attack; the black sword in his hand acting as an extension of his reach as he swung it in an attempt to slice through the woman. Linux was nimble on her feet, she easily evaded a majority of the attack
84. BIRTH OF CREATION
[Where am I?] [You are locked in the subconscious of your mind by Linux, right now the person using our body is not you.][I... See. So what are we going to do Aether?] [The only thing we had been doing ever since, we fight! With all our strength, I have a feeling that our salvation is coming.] Arthur nodded as he looked at Aether, the main conscience behind his actions. It had been a couple of months, maybe a year, since they last, sat down and had a conversation. [So what's going to happen once you complete your goal? Are you going to return to your home world?] Aether shook his head. There's no world to return to, everything was destroyed by Linux's wrath. He clutched his fists tightly and bit his lip. He was useless. He could not protect what his forefathers gave their lives to protect. He did not deserve to be a sorcerer Supreme. Sanz was better suited for the role but his lack of magical prowess got in the way. Aether has to admit something he had been running from. He
