Chapter 256: Find him!

’It’s been 3 days since I slaughtered the army of A-class spiders. It was Yir’s fault those rushed out of the forest but it did give me an unexpected opportunity to unlock a big seal on my core.’

’How did I manage to achieve that? Well, that’s because...’

3 days earlier...

’At first, I thought the system 009 isn’t programmed to unlock those seals on my divine qi or give rewards. I thought I was unable to level up so I jumped in front of those monsters and killed them just for fun, venting my anger on those innocent creatures who didn’t have any intention of harming me. I just went all out and unknowingly, I killed multiple SS-rank monsters with simple wind magic.

The old man from some guild came and nagged behind my back so he could have some share. But I don’t think people have ever been able to eat something from my plate until now. What’s mine, is mine and forever will be mine so I just took every monster corpse and sold only one S-rank core.

After selling it, I left Polmar and went to the very corner of the continent to take shelter. It was showing, there was no sign of colonization. It was just plain land covered in snow. Luckily, I found a mountain and decided to camp on its side because the wind was calmer than on empty land.

I was preparing to make a tent and at that moment, system 009 popped up.

[You made a great achievement right after coming to Arcadia.]

[For killing multiple SS-Class monsters, a big portion of your seal will be lifted.]

[You’ve levelled up!]

[Current level: ¿¿¿+

Title: The demigod of all living records, Demon Lord, Key Searcher, Trickster, The creator of 4 new system, Protector of the demon race, The caretaker of heavenly herbs, Taboo magician, Holder of the time key]

[For levelling up, System 009 will reward you.]

[Reward: 1 stage Nectar potion, Book: Introduction to Infinite Math Formulas]

Viktor stared at his screen while thinking about what just happened. He was sure after reaching his guardian-level strength, he won’t be able to level up. But seeing his stats made him think that the tower system was scamming him and playing with him.

"No wonder the death rate was so high... they just killed greedy gods and demigods to decrease the population in the realm of the heavens..."

He sighed and immediately took the nectar potion. He couldn’t feel any power increase in his body but it vanished. "It must’ve gone to my real body. My divine qi was near the 4th stage so I think it’s near the 5th stage since that’s what it says. One small bottle of nectar and I will finally become a god. Then I won’t have any restrictions on going below any realms I want."

’ But what’s up with all those titles? Caretaker of heavenly herbs? Is it perhaps talking about those plants I stole from Name’s garden? And the creator of 4 systems? Why is that even showing here? I’m not some sort of a genius...’

’But wait... why do I feel like this body is way stronger than before? Is it because of the monsters I killed yesterday?’

Viktor looked at his phone and saw the amount of money piled up in his bank account. With this, he could easily enter his past self’s dream school but now, he had a different goal.

Viktor took out his record book and turned to those pages where he could see his future. He was looking for a person in the distant future. After looking for a few dozen future paths, he finally found him but disappointment painted his face blue when he read the ending.

Yes, the end of his life.

Since his future predicting skills were back, he could finally see his future. But he was frustrated as f*ck.

Why?

The person who was supposed to hold the key to the tower system was a small kid, an elf at that. A small toddler who sucks a pacifier in an orphanage.

’Am I supposed to take care of a kid now? And it will take at least 100 years to take out the key from his body? And 50 years to regain his past life memories because the file is too big? What are you? Windows XP?’

Viktor rubbed his face and looked at the horizon of the sea. The sun was setting right behind those mountains of the northern continent.

The eastern continent was the closest to the northern continent so it was possible to see its high-rise mountains even though there was about 900 miles wide deep sea separating them. The reason why Feo wasn’t able to cross the sea was because it was cold, filled with mysterious monsters and it was too big. But Viktor knew what those monsters were capable of so he knew it was just a matter of time before they learn how to build ships and start to cross the sea for more human meat.

With a frustrated smile, he mumbled,

’ But I have something else to worry about.’

Right after the sun had set, the temperature dropped to -36°C. His tent started to form ice crystals and his fire went out. He could’ve just stayed inside his dimension room but he wanted to see the snowfall. He wanted to feel the calm nature around him.

"Hah...It’s been so long since I saw clouds of frozen smoke coming out of my lungs. How many years has it been? A few thousand?"

He then wore a thick jacket and sat on the edge of a glacier crack. It was dark but he could see clearly. It was deep, deeper than any glacier crack he had seen before and it was emitting mana out of it.

"A dungeon..." he said. "It looks like a big undiscovered dungeon is under the ice. An old but powerful one."

He flew a few meters below and noticed the path began to expand. Its entrance was a long drop and the only way to enter was to fly.

In conclusion, it was an SS-rank dungeon and only S-class and above-class holders could enter through the entrance. But it was getting late. He wanted to go further and check what kind of dungeon it was but he needed sleep. A short 15 hours of sleep.

Hunter association, Polmar, West continent.

"We have to find him out. No matter what it takes." A hunter stood up and yelled at the director. The room was filled with hunters, politicians and association employers, holding a meeting.

He made a point. In history, there is no record of a 14-year-old child reaching A class when he was tested as normal. There were several cases where a child become awakened late. But Viktor’s case was a little odd.

He never had any plasma or any superhuman strength a pre-awakened person holds. He was just an ordinary kid with no arms.

An old man projected his photos on the big screen and said, "Look here. In an accident, Viktor lost both of his arms at the age of 4. Due to his low family status, his father had to buy some low-quality arms from the junk market. But when he entered the black market, see? His hands were alright. They aren’t highly advanced prosthetic parts. They are real arms built with blood and fresh. In conclusion, he is a "Protector" type and "Enchanter" type awakened."

"What nonsense are you speaking! How can a person hold two types of plasma in his body?"

"Then how do you explain his dungeon raids? Have you seen the recording? He killed multiple SS-rank monsters with magic. Wind magic at that!! You’re saying that those are his "Protector" core’s properties? Use your head, Van!"

"I AM using my head."

"Okay, let’s just discuss the main topic. The reason why we’ve gathered there. From what my men have collected, his father said he kicked his son out of the house because he failed to enter school. And he was almost 15, the minimum age requirement for earning money in a legal way. He has no idea about his whereabouts. Here are Viktor’s recent activities. He entered an illegal dungeon with a party of 5. But he stayed behind when the siren went out. After killing all those monsters single-handedly, he came out of the dungeon, sold only one core, took about 4 million U and vanished. Yes, he just vanished in thin air."

After all of the members saw the footage of him suddenly vanishing, they were shocked. He was strong, stronger than any person at his age. Also, he was a dual plasma user.

The director of the hunter association stood up, gathered everyone’s attention and said, "No matter what it takes. We will make him work for us. To protect our nation, all four races, and the continents, we need him. So, go and find him!"

"I am sure someone is talking about me somewhere..." Viktor looked at the stars and scratched his ear.
