Reliving The Past ~ Mage Of The Abyss 46 Chapter 41 ~ Monitoring Magi 3/4

For the past few days, Siola has been experimenting with her new power that has been given by the divine. Not only she can give her avatar instructions, she can also control her for brief moments at somewhat limited freedom.

"There are many things you can do with that power, I'm sure you can learn them all. Once you've gotten bored by it, just tell me. I will remove it then" said Konig.

Siola nodded. Many would fight to keep such power, but she's not feeling anything remotely satisfying having it.

it is a power that's necessary to keep in touch with her avatar and help her when she's in trouble. It's not a power that she would like to have personally.

"Uhm, Lady Konig."

"Call me K."

"Ah yes, Lady K. This um… do you know, like… that travelers are um… from a different world?"

Tilting her brows at the face of her question, "Hm, isn't it obvious? You're from that world, right? Planet Earth or something."

To her surprise, Siola didn't expect this. She wants to probe for more, but afraid of offending her.

"Hmm… it seems you're still confused by all of this. I suppose I can give a.s.sistance one more time."

Snapping her fingers up, green electrical sparks wrapped her arms and then pulsed to the surrounding area. She moves it, pointing to the side. Raising her fingers as if she's raising the dead, a large building appeared.

"There, you will find all the answers you need. Now, back to the topic of your purpose here. Like I said before, I want you to fill this empty void, but I'm not necessarily talking about the stores there on the menu."

"I want you to go outside and collect all kinds of items there and then bring them here. In this case, the world of Ekolia will be the first you visit."

"…" Siola quickly understood what Konig is saying. Even though it seems complicated, but she speaks in a very simple way, not only that, her instruction and such were also easy to understand.

Fundamentally, this empty void is like a player home to Siola.

Konig tasked her to fill just means that she has to go on an adventure outside and any artifacts she found, she should bring them here and not using or selling them instead.

A Hub Area, basically.

"Lady Konig, there is something I want to ask you."

"And you go back calling me Konig again…" sighing, "What is it?"

Scratching the back of her head, Siola felt really uncomfortable asking it, "Um… why did you choose me?"

"…" shrugging, "Cause I have no other choice?"

"Huh?"

"n.o.body in your world plays the mode I made, so… yeah. Congrats."

"Err… huh, wait what?"

She tapped her shoulder. As she cleaned the dust on top of it, Konig said, "Don't worry about it too much, what's important is that you have been chosen. It's been so long since a ruler of this empty void appears you know, last time it was a boy that is going on about something… Hmm… 'become a hero in another world' he said."

"The kid was so sparkling…. Like, very excited when he got the opportunity to serve me. I kinda like him, but oh well."

After blinking her eyes a few times, Siola asked, "What happened to him?"

"He's dead."

"…" tilting her head, she was confused. What Siola saw on the menu was all sorts of powerful things, how could such a thing have happened? Not many monsters can defeat something with that has such immense power in their hands, so… how?

Konig's lips hardened, obviously, she knows what Siola is thinking.

Sighing as she turned around, "You see, it is good to tamper your excitement and expectation before you go into a place where you haven't set a foot on. Be extremely careful. Well, that fool just goes merrily here and there, going to a dungeon unprepared…"

"… What did he expect, of course, he'd die on the first level. Not only that, but he also killed by his own companions."

Siola wants to laugh, but at the same time, she felt sad. The tone Konig did, is somewhat unsettling. Siola can't tell whether she wants her to laugh or mourn.

"Don't worry though, he's still alive. A Traveler never actually dies, they just go back to life at a temple or something. Not that I care where they can resurrect, but I hate those kinds of places. I wish they can just die, you know. I don't like seeing a hunted dear suffers."

Konig went to walk even further away, as she turned, slightly glancing at Siola, saying, "Make sure you don't let your guard down out there… okay?"

"…" Siola nodded.

Soon after, she disappeared out of trace.

"Haa…" sighed Siola, 'Good thing she left, I don't know how to respond to that. Well, at least I know what to expect. Whoever that guy is, I hope he's okay.'

Glancing at the large building, the library, she wonders whether or not she continues to monitor her avatar. There are many things that she would like to learn, but doing it now, for sure she will miss something of what her avatar is doing.

"Well, a sacrifice is needed I suppose. G.o.d, I hate this."

She decided to go to the library.

There is much more gain than losses if she goes there instead of wasting time waiting for her avatar to encounter or finding something.

…

Inside the multi-layered grand library, Siola is still sitting crossed leg at the center of it. Reading from one book to another, she spent all of her time completely absorbed in the reading.

She has learned many things, all things about the world.

Regardless of what people are saying, there are only 3 factions. The Holy Faction, the Evil Faction, and the Neutral Faction.

All these three have a sub-faction and further divided by the creation of its leaders. Sitting at the top would be the G.o.ds and their prayers for the Holy Faction, the Dark Lords for the Neutral Faction, and the Calamity Dragon and their priest for the Evil Faction.

As for the Divine herself, she has complete authority of what she wants to do. She can join any of them or neither.

All that there is to know about the divine in these papers are mostly invalid due to Konig is not actually the one that is writing them. So, it's not completely legit and Siola had to take it as a grain of salt.

She also learned more about the administrators and developers of the game. With the help of the divine, they have created a link for people to connect to the real world of Ekolia via Realism Mode. The purpose of it is still unknown.

In the Ancestral Beings Record, there are 37 G.o.ds and G.o.ddesses. However, only a few portions of them are known. At least, recorded. Oddly enough, Konig is also on the list despite being a Divine and not a G.o.d.

In the second place of both power and influence on the mortal realm, there is Armalia, the ruler of the Holy Divine Order. Which is Konig's former army. She ditched them for unknown reason and Armalia took them in.

Not to be confused with Ludtleth… Lehdrith, Ruler of Purgatory, is sitting in third place. He is also the one that Ludwig served temporarily because of a pact, making his faction connect to his. It is needed because Ludwig has not yet achieved complete G.o.dhood.

Dolemn, the War G.o.d, ruler of Halls of Valhalla. His seat is on the 6th place with Mary, the G.o.ddess of purity sitting alongside him at 7th place. There is also a witch known as Soline Arlond that has ascended to G.o.dhood and she climbed the ladder rapidly, sitting at the 9th place.

The Ancestral Beings Record updated at the same time Siola learned a new term about them, but this is all that she knows right now. There are many things that are still yet known, however, just as many as the unknown, there are many that the library knows.

It holds many things, that include all kinds of spells, items, artifacts that exist, and where they are located. Their story and everything is all here. Not only that, Siola learned more about spells that are… hidden from the world.

It is all added to the few % of her knowledge about this world.

Returning to her room

*Fwooosh*

As the machine has pumped out its last air, Siola got out and went limp on the bed the mere second she hit it. "Bah, my eyes… I don't want to see a word ever again! Book, get out of my life!! I don't want to see you!"

"…"

Because of how exhausted she is, Siola didn't notice that Sadrin is standing there. She was waiting for her to come out so that she can deliver her good news, but Siola has already fallen asleep.

Sighing in disbelief, she decided to just let her rest and then leave the room after she changed Siola's outfit to her pajamas.
