last update2022-11-20 18:22:06

In a few minutes, I reached Golden Dragon Café and saw my friend’s car without change parked with a crowd around it. When I went to the café I saw tom waiting near the entrance. I called him by shouting “Tom, I am here. How long have you been waiting.”

“Not long actually, I cannot believe you’ve changed so much. What have you been eating these days, you’ve become so thin. You are no longer the handsome Gerald of our university.” Tom said. His words made me remember how we had to go from 3 rich meals to 2 middle-class meals to save money.

“It’s nothing much to talk about, come let’s go in” I replied while smoothly dodging his question. We both went into the VIP room booked by tom.

“So what did you need the 5 million for? You should not have so many expenses right” Tom questioned. I knew he would ask me this question after I came to the café.

“I needed it for an important investment of mine” I replied immediately. So after successfully convincing tom why I needed 5 million, we both had our drinks and food that tasted luxuriously fantastic. Then I bid farewell to tom but he insisted on him driving me home. I agreed since it would be a burden to get another taxi back home.

[Ding…  A new mission is issued]

[Mission: Win a lottery]

[Rewards: Increasing your authority and hiding your information from being revealed easily in the future]

[Punishment: You will lose 5 million from your bank account]

[Mission Time Limit: 2 Days]        

I was happy to see that I could increase my authority through missions but angry that I could lose 5 million if I did not win the lottery, I thought ‘I vividly remember the no that would be winning tomorrow’. I quickly wrote the no that will win tomorrow on a piece of paper and after Tom dropped me near my house, I went to the nearby lottery house and asked how much can I pay for a lottery no of my choice.

He had a look of surprise and doubt but replied “You have to pay 100 Yuan for a ticket and you can buy 10 of the same lottery ticket no.”I gave him the paper with the winning no written on it and told him to give me 10 lottery tickets for that no. He gave me the tickets with a hint of ridicule on his face. After checking that the tickets had the no written on the paper, I walked home and slept.

The next day

[Ding…. Mission completed successfully]

[Ding…. Mission reward allocated]

I woke up hearing those 2 messages and realized that I had won the lottery as expected and I thought “I also felt stronger for some reason.”

[When your authority increases your strength increases with it. You can your stats by saying status in your mind]

‘So I can also see my status using Kronos. The only stats I could see before was my game character’s stats’ I thought. I said the word ‘status’ in my mind

Name: - Gerald Crawford

Race: - Human

Level: - 10(average of a non-cultivator is 5)

Title: -The Formidable One

Hp: -200(average of a non-cultivator is 50)

Str: - 250(average of a non-cultivator is 50)

Agi: - 150(average of a non-cultivator is 50)

Def: -100(average of a non-cultivator is 50)

Mana: - 0[locked] (average of a non-cultivator is 0)

Int: - 20(average of a non-cultivator is 10)

Charm: - 50(average of a non-cultivator is 10)

Info- This human Has traveled through time and has died more than once which has earned him the title “The Formidable One”. Parents are Jessica Crawford and Jack Crawford and Gerald is the actual heir to the Group of the $%$#$’$@$

‘It seems my stats are higher  than an average non-cultivator and I got a title due to dying several times but what surprised me the most is the last part in my info which said that I was the actual heir of a group and that the group’s name was most hidden with the money symbol.’ I thought

[With time you will get to know everything]

That’s true, when I have enough authority I can get to know more about this. For now, it’s time to go and get my lottery money.

I finally reached the lottery house after managing to get a cab to go there. When I went to the lottery house and showed the 10 lottery Numbers that had the same winning no, the receptionist was shocked but took me to the boss.

When I showed him the 10 cards, he was shocked for a moment but still asked by account no. Then I received the notification of 5 million being deposited to my account and while I was going the man said to me “Sorry, 1 million of the lottery price was charged as tax.”So the lottery prize was not 5 million but 6 million. I nodded and got another cab before heading out to the lottery.

While I was going home I sent 5 million to tom’s account with my name written in it. After I reached home I decided to take a rest till the date of the release of the game.

On the date of the release of The GATE

I woke up with the sound of a notification near me, but it was not from Kronos. When I finally found the source of the notification, I was shocked to realize that today was the date of the release of the game that will shake the world and it was the notification of the reminder I put on my phone in case I forgot it like I did today.

I got ready and ran to the nearest store that would be selling the game pod today and found that the line was shorter than I had expected but it was not surprising since the game still was not famous enough for several people to line up to buy the pod. When it was finally my turn the receptionist looked at me with surprise since I looked too young to afford to be able to pay 5 million.

 The receptionist asked me “ Are you sure you are here to buy the game ‘The GATE’, you do know you have to pay 5 million upfront to buy it. I nodded and brought my phone near the code to pay the money. She then gave me the look that knew I was going to make a fool of myself but she was wrong today since the notification of 5 million transferred was heard sharply. The receptionist looked at me in shock while I told my address to the people who would be transporting it to my house.

[Ding… Mission completed successfully]

[Transferring some knowledge regarding The GATE]

After the notification and before I could brace myself I was hit by a torrent/flood of information regarding the game. I somehow managed to sit on top of a bench till I managed to absorb all the information and I was shocked by the information I received

  • Chapter 20- A new Job, 2 New Titles, and a Rare Monster Drop

    After deciding the monster that I would be fighting, I focused on creating the strongest Magic we were taught “Fire Tornado”. It was a 3rd rank Spell but with the help of the Pure Magic Affinity I have, its strength was increased to a 4th Rank Spell which I call “Pure Fire Tornado”.By the way, the ranks signify the level of the stats. An example of this means to use a Rank 1 spell a person should have 100 Mana and 100 Int while to use a Rank 3 Spell-like Fire Tornado a person should have 300 Mana and 300 Int but my spell had the power of a Rank 4 spell while it required the stats needed for a Rank 3 Spell. Since I had 7000 Mana and Int, I should theoretically be able to use Rank 70 Magic but according to the NPC Richard’s Memory, the highest Rank spell is 10. This Rank 10 Spell is a one of kind Magic that was developed by a Sage( who didn’t have the Sage job but was called a Sage due to his strength and knowledge ) and had gathered dust in the treasury of some country since nobody

    I looked at the time of the watch I was wearing and noticed that I could make it in time to attend the last class that would be done by Kakashi Sensei. I ran as fast as possible with the help of wind magic that I had learned from Ms. Arabelle who was teaching us Wind Magic. Due to the speed at which I was traveling, I could not stop in time to prevent bumping into Kakashi Sensei who was about to enter the class.Kakashi Sensei was quite surprised to be bumped by somebody. He was also even more surprised to see that it was me who had bumped into him. He asked me “Why were you not present in the morning when I called your name, Richard.” I showed him the dean’s note, after which he sighed and said “Come in, Richard.” I nodded and followed him inside the class; the students seemed surprised to see me. Jack asked me “I thought something happened to you or your family since you did not attend the class. I was really worried you know.” So that’s why everybody was surprised to see me today.

    [Ding…. Mission reward is being allocated][Do you want to absorb the technique of Augustus (Warning! A great amount of information will enter your brain which might result in you losing your conscience for several days)][Yes or No][You could also absorb this information later]This was the first time that Kronos gave me a warning regarding the reward, so I must pay heed to its warning. Since I have another mission that must be completed by me in a month, I must complete it before absorbing this technique. I asked Twilight “Can you give me 90 good books in the library? It would be best if you could also give me books with names that start with ‘The History of.’” Twilight was surprised by this strange request but she still did what she was requested to do. Twilight said some more words in the Spirit Language which was translated to come here followed by various book names. After a few minutes had passed exactly 90 books were laid down neatly on the floor, they emitted various a

According to my calculations, I should read at least 3 books a day plus extra 10 books to read 100 books but I think I have already read 10 books. The problem is whether It would be counted by Kronos. While I was contemplating the mission I had received, Twilight got the book and said to me while handing book to me “Here is the book you were searching for. You are full of surprises Richard. Not even a normal Primordial Being can withstand this little fellow’s aura but you were able to stand straight. You even know the

  • Chapter 16- Twinkle

    The Owl started to speak with a strong voice that seemed to remember him of somebody “You look so much like Augustus. You must be the new king since you look so much like him and normally only the king and his trusted confidants are allowed inside.” I did not know that I looked so much like my ancestor/ more specifically this NPC’s ancestor. It seemed to have mistaken me to be king, So I shook my head and said “I am the crown Prince Richard Tiamat who has come here in search of a book that might be in your possession somewhere in this library.”The Owl seemed surprised to see a prince allowed to enter the library by the king. The Owl said “My name is Twinkle and I am one of the few pets of Augustus, I am one of a long extinct sub-race with the Spirit Race and my sub-race which should be extinct is the ‘Primordial Spirit Owl.’ I sense that you too are a primordial being born to 2 dragons. Which is indeed impossible but miracles do happen once every ∞ Year. So what book exactly are you

He seemed puzzled to see me come to the palace for a book! But when I asked him to permit me to enter the ruined library of legends, his face completely change and he asked me “Who told you about the existence of the ruined library of legends.” I replied that the Dean was the person who informed me of that library. He nodded and said, “I will allow you to enter since you are the crown prince but you can only enter the library if you cannot find that book in our royal library.” I nodded and proceeded towards the royal library.After I started to thoroughly search the library, I found some interesting books on various sectors. I put them in my inventory.[It’s Kronos’s inventory, Host]Okay, Okay it’s Kronos’s inventory, Happy now Kronos. Kronos went silent after I thought of the inventory as something that belonged to Kronos.A few minut
