Chapter 2462: The Next Destination

Mount Takao, huh?

As I investigated more about it online, I discovered it had been historically a nest of Tengu, a type of Japanese Demon or Yokai.

I don't know if they have something to do with this, but there might be some correlations, most likely...

Father has the intentions of overtaking whatever shows up there anyways, as our family specializes on farming resources from Domains and Realms we forcefully take over from others.

Is it illegal? Technically no, there's no law protecting anybody in the Underworld, is it dishonest? Maybe, but that's how we work.

We are pretty much a Yakuza family, but on steroids now that I think about it... Although dad is not that traditional of a yakuza, and more of a modern gangster from a mafia family.

It's a weird mix, but it somehow works.

Ismena was gone by now, I kind of wanted her to stay so we could cuddle in bed, but I bet that would've been awkward for her if I asked her that...

Nonetheless, I enjoyed the rice crackers and the soda with ice cream, it was really nice.

"And done... Phew, so annoying."

I finished the damned homework and quickly rested over the bed. Everyone was safe for now, and those that weren't, I was going to save quickly.

"Kyuuh!"

Suddenly, I heard a cute turtle sound, as I noticed a little black turtle climbing the bed and walking to my side.

"Ah, Wall! You were sleeping under the bed again?"

"Kyaaww!"

She rubbed her black scaled face over my hand, as I caressed her gently.

After entering this world even Wall was transformed and given a background, becoming a Magic Black Turtle of some sort.

Apparently, she's a pet my father gifted to me on my tenth birthday, a member of an ancient mythical divine bloodline of divine beasts related to the Ancient Black Tortoise.

They have incredible defensive abilities, and once they bond with a master and create a familiar contract with them, they will always protect them.

He gifted Wall to me as a way to protect me from danger, what an overprotective father he is.

Right now, although her true form and powers were kind of sealed, she also gained new powers and abilities of her own.

The people inside of her were safe inside the castle, although I've moved them to my Divine Realm for the time being anyways through portals inside the castle of Wall.

The saddest part is that she couldn't talk in here...

"Waaauuuhh!"

"Are you hungry? Have you eaten anything so far?"

"Waah!"

She nodded; it seems Ismena kept her well-fed.

I ended falling asleep shortly after, thinking about many things I needed to do.

For some reason I was just tired and wanted to sleep, rarely enough.

This human body comes with its annoying downsides...

...

Amiphossia, Ryo...

Please be alright.

Mama is coming for you.

Frank slowly woke up from his rest, opening his eyes to face a little, adorable wyvern with red scales resting over his face.

"Guh?! R-Ruby!"

He quickly moved Ruby away, as the little Wyvern complained by giving him a playful bite on his hand, riddled with sharp fangs, it still hurt even though it didn't leave any wound.

"Rarr!"

"Ouch! Hey, that hurt..."

"Raawr!"

Then Ruby, to apologize, licked the hand again, using her Licking Wounds Skill to heal the pain away, a weird way of doing things, but it worked.

"I guess its just another morning for us, huh? How are you feeling?"

Frank patted her head gently.

"Raarr!"

Ruby waged her tail cute; she looked a bit bigger, slenderer, and perhaps more mature than before, but he knew that was still his Ruby.

"Good? Alright then, let's begin a new day..."

Frank did his morning stretches before going to take a warm shower, and then dressed up.

This time he had finally woken up early today, so nobody was annoying him about having to wake up.

In fact, his mother was still cooking downstairs, so he was on perfect time.

"Might as well check what I got yesterday..."

Frank glanced at his status, finding a couple of new skills.

These were Spells or Technique Books and Scrolls he had purchased from Hinata's shop in the

Sun Clan Territory Shop.

They were the strongest ones she had available, which ended with Frank spending mostly all his points purchasing them because he needed the power.

They were three: [Heavenly Clone of Light Creation Art], [Mana Recycle Spell], and [Lesser Mountain Dragon Physique Technique].

All three of them helped Frank deal with certain weaknesses he had.

Thanks to his System, Frank could instantly learn anything within these grimoires, scrolls, or technique books by touching them, as they would be instantly identified as Skill Books!

This gave him an incredible edge above others, and helped Frank learn several techniques into skills he could level up rapidly.

To simply and instantly learn a technique or art by touching it was simply insane, yet it worked wonders with him.

Even techniques or spells that shouldn't be compatible with him, ended working at the end,

surprisingly enough.

He was able to purchase all three powerful techniques and books using ten thousand contribution points, which according to Hinata was an offer he wouldn't get anymore.

[Heavenly Clone of Light Creation Art: Level 1]

A powerful Magic and Holy Technique created by the Ancient Sorcerers and Magicians of Light and Sunlight, creating illusions of themselves with the light of the sun, and then materializing them using Mana.

By channeling such energies, and the heaven's light, you can create up to 2 additional Heavenly Clones of Light, with an additional number with each Skill Level.

Their Stats also increase based on the Skill Level by 10%.

[Mana Recycle: Level 1]

A powerful Spell created by ancient Archwizards to preserve their Mana at all costs, as it often

ran out way too quickly.

By channeling your internal energies, whenever you use a spell or any sort of magic or technique that uses Mana, the leftover Mana or residual Mana will be instantly absorbed by

your body and recovered instead of being lost.

The rate in which you recover this mana increases by twenty percent with each skill level.

[Lesser Mountain Dragon Physique Technique: Level 1]

The Monks have practiced this powerful technique through many generations, absorbing the essence of the mountain dragon to reinforce their bodies and transform them into mountains

themselves.

By activating this technique, you can rapidly reinforce your body and make it a hundred percent tougher, with a twenty percent additional increase with each skill level.

Wounds regeneration speed and stamina quantity also increases proportionally to the

durability gained.

Additionally, there's a small chance to survive lethal blows.

"They're perfect..."

With this, Frank gained the power to divide himself and help in battles much better, regain

his mana quickly and not waste it, reducing the quantity of mana required for everything, and then reinforce his body even further, becoming tough enough to take on foes' attacks.

It was indeed a different route than what he remembered, as he had never learned any of these Skills before back then, and what he had chosen had been much different.
