Single Wish: Rise Of The Omniscient Paragon

Anyway. Let me introduce you to my group. The Big Five."

"The Big Five?"

Corey had a confused expression after hearing iiuminox's words.

Iiuminox seeing his confused expression pointed at The Founder.

"That's The Founder. When the apocalypse happened, he was the one that found all of us and decided to form our group and because of that, he calls himself The Founder."

iiuminox then pointed at Zelanous who was walking towards them.

"That's Zelanous. He's the Knight and Guardian of our group."

Corey looked at Zelanous and the more he looked at him, the more he realized that he had a… 'heroic'? expression.

Despite what Corey thought, iiuminox continued. He pointed at Friedhellm Rochze who had stopped flying and was walking towards them.

""That's Friedhellm Rochze. You can just call him Rochze, he's our eyes in the sky and also our archer."

Corey looked at Rochze and Rochze nodded at him causing Rochze to nod back.

'I wish I had the ability to fly.'

Corey thought then heard iiuminox speak.

"The fourth person is… Huh? Where is he?"

Corey looked at iiuminox and found him looking around with slight confusion for a few seconds before he gave up and spoke with a frustrated tone and expression.

"Hey Blank blank, where are you?!"

Just as Corey was wondering who Blank blank was, he heard a soft voice beside him that spooked the shit out of him.

"I'm here."

"AHHH!!"

Corey jumped back in fright and looked to his right where he saw a short boy with white hair and dead eyes.

He realized the boy the moment he saw him. He was the boy who he could not keep track of no matter how much he tried.

"Where the fuck did you come from?"

Corey asked and the boy looked at him with dead eyes and spoke softly.

"Sorry."

He then looked away and turned to iiuminox and spoke.

"You called?

iiuminox looked at him with twitching lips then looked at Corey.

"Sorry about that. Blank blank does that a lot."

Iiuminox said and Blank blank argued with a soft tone.

"I didn't do anything. I was always here, you didn't just see me."

iiuminox turned towards him but after thinking about it, he decided not to reply. He turned towards Corey and spoke.

"This are all the members of The Big Five including me."

After iiuminox spoke, Corey looked at the five members of the weird group once again and although he had questions to ask.

Like why did they have weird names?

And how come he never heard of them before in the academy?

But knowing that whether he knew the answers to those questions or not, it would have no effect on him.

Realizing that he had nothing else to do with this group, Corey decided to take his leave.

"It was nice meeting you guys but I have to leave."

Corey said and was about to leave but then he stopped after hearing iiuminox words.

"Oh no problem. Are you going to meet the merchant?"

Corey turned back and looked at iiuminox with a confused expression.

"Who?" He asked.

iiuminox seeing Corey's confused expression had a surprised expression.

"You don't know the merchant?" He questioned with surprise and Corey shook his head.

"Wow... Well, it's possible that you don't know him since it's not everybody that would have met him."

iiuminox muttered before he looked at Corey and explained, causing Corey to no longer be ignorant.

"The merchant is a trader that stays in front of the auditorium at the center of the academy. He sells a lot of stuff and also information.

That's where you can get information on so many things like your status window and even the apocalypse, but you will have to pay to get those Information. Nothing is free with that bastard. Also make sure you get a contract so that he won't cheat you.

The Founder figured that out and always uses a contract whenever he wants to buy stuff from him. Most don't know, it's only cause you saved my life I'm telling you this."

Corey looked at iiuminox with surprise. He could not believe there was a place like that where he could get information that had been on his mind ever since the apocalypse started.

'Did Kyle know about the merchant?'

Corey thought but later shrugged it off, it didn't matter to him whether Kyle did or not since he never asked him.

"Thank you." Corey thanked iiuminox cause he might have been ignorant about the existence of the merchant even after he left the academy.

In fact when he thought about leaving the academy, a thought came to his mind.

'Why didn't I ever think of leaving the academy immediately?'

Corey looked at iiuminox and thought about asking him whether he knew if people have left the academy.

"Hey iiuminox." He decided to ask.

"Hmm?" iiuminox who thought Corey was about to leave, was surprised that Corey called him.

"Do you know if anybody has left the academy? Or if it's safe to leave the academy?" Corey asked and waited for iiuminox reply with his heart beating faster than normal.

His answer determined how long or if he would be able to go back home.

Meanwhile iiuminox gaze darkened slightly when he heard Corey's question and despair flashed in his eyes for a second before he spoke.

"I'm not sure if anybody was able to leave the academy but leaving the academy is not safe at all. In fact the academy gate is the most dangerous place I know of in the academy." iiuminox paused then continued.

"All of us at one point in time tried to go to the academy gates but when we went there, we felt fear just when were at least 200m away from the gate.

We had never felt like that before and we felt that if we moved closer to the gate, we would definitely die, so we had to run away.

All of us has seen a tier 1 being but we were not that afraid, this one, we think is higher than tier 1.

We asked the merchant about how strong the thing at the gate was but the price he wanted was too high for us so we could not pay for it."

Corey shook slightly hearing that and his mind could not help but wonder what kind of fucked up situation they were in.

He took in deep breaths to calm himself down and then looked up with determination in his eyes.

'No matter what, I'm going home. Nothing, absolutely nothing will stop me.'

Corey thought, then bowed his head slightly at iiuminox.

"Thanks for all the information you've given me."

Iiuminox was surprised since to him he didn't do much but not wanting to waste a man's thanks he replied.

"No problem. If you get to the merchant you can also get this information."

Iiuminox said and Corey nodded once again. He was about to say his goodbye and leave but iiuminox stopped him once again.

"Wait Corey. I want to give you something."

iiuminox said then ran to the black smiley which almost killed him.

Corey was confused and curious about what iiuminox wanted to do especially when he saw him dissecting the body of the black smiley.

Although he took longer than Corey in dissecting the black smiley, he didn't spend too long. Running back towards Corey, he stretched out his hand which had the black smiley's soul stone and spoke.

"Take the soul stone. I would have given you the skill crystal but I need it. It's beneficial for me."

Corey looked at iiuminox in surprise and slight shock.

"Won't the soul stone be beneficial for you?" Corey asked.

"It would, but not that much. The level is around mine so it wouldn't give me much stats besides if not because you warned all of us, I would be dead. So take it."

iiuminox said then placed the soul stone in Corey's right hand not giving him a chance to refuse.

Corey looked at the soul stone which was in his right hand before looking at iiuminox.

"Thanks a lot. I wouldn't forget this favour."

Corey thanked him once again and iiuminox smiled.

"Don't mention it. Besides when you hear our name, The Big Five, come visit us when you're free."

Iiuminox said with a smile causing Corey to smile in response.

"Later."

Corey gave his goodbye then his body swayed and he ran opposite the building he was staying at.

Although he didn't sense any malicious intent from iiuminox and the remaining members of the group, he didn't want people to know he was staying there since it was much safer for him the less people knew about his hideout.

After running for a few minutes while taking a few twists and turns, Corey found a broken down building and jumped into it through the window.

Landing perfectly inside the room. He checked the room to see if it was safe. Finding nothing, he sat on the floor and brought out the soul stone of the black smiley.

When he brought it out, he held it on his right hand and three seconds later, a translucent screen hovered over his right hand and Corey looked at it to see the level of the black smiley.

[SOUL STONE OF A LEVEL 55 TIER 0 DARK REVENANT IDENTIFIED

DO YOU WANT TO ABSORB?]

"Absorb."

Corey gave the order and an orange glow spread out from his right hand unto the soul stone. The next moment, he felt more energy rush into him than he had ever felt before.

He also felt something different in this energy, he could not explain it but it just felt magical

He tried to focus on it and observe this feeling in his body. He closed his eyes and just as felt that he was on the cusp on feeling that sensation better, he felt pain in his body.

He ignored the pain since this was nothing to him considering his high level of pain resistance and also the number of times he had died painful deaths in The Library Of Records.

But a few seconds later, the pain became much and almost unbearable. He had a feeling that if he continued, he might get into an extremely bad situation which he would eventually regret so stopped.

After he stopped, he opened his eyes and looked at his body. But the moment he did, his eyes opened wide and he exclaimed.

"What the fuck happened to me?"

He could see minute amounts of blood seeping out from different parts of his body. His mind then went to the time he was feeling the pain he wanted to ignore even though he felt that something was wrong.

Now seeing his body, he realized that he made the right decision in not ignoring the pain.

'Is it because of what I was feeling?'

Corey thought then looked at his body once again. He noticed that his body was healing, although at a slow speed, due to his superhuman constitution.

Seeing the speed of his healing, Corey guessed that it would take him maybe two or three days to fully heal since the injury was not serious at least from what he could see.

Corey then decided to pull up his status window and see how much stronger he had become since he felt a lot stronger.

IMPORTANT INFO. PLEASE READ AND DON'T SKIP

[A/N: This bonus chapter is for dropping up to twenty power stones in the previous book, Single Wish.

Thanks a lot guys for your support on the book, I hope this one gets the same support.

First: I want to thank every reader from my previous book, Single Wish for taking their time to add this one to their library. Thanks a lot.

Second: Due to reasons which I would explain, I'm going to increase the number of power stones required for daily bonus chapters.

The power stone requirement would now be: 10 POWER STONES FOR 1 BONUS CHAPTER, which means:

10 POWER STONES = 1 BONUS CHAPTER

20 POWER STONES = 2 BONUS CHAPTERS

30 POWER STONES = 3 BONUS CHAPTERS

And so on...

The reason for me increasing the requirements is because of one of Webnovel requirements to get an exclusive contract which is:

A novel must have at least twice the number of collections than the number of released chapters.

I have suffered from this in my previous book and I don't want to suffer from it again.

So why I'm increasing the power stone requirement is so that even though I release a lot of chapters a day because you guys reach the power stones requirement, the number of power stones on this book would increase a lot which would place the book on a higher ranking in the power stone ranking list.

I believe if our rank is high enough, we might get Webnovel's attention eventually and get us an exclusive contract.

So please guys, I know you can't vote now but when we can. PLEASE VOTE.

You know I'll provide the chapters.

I'll also keep on reminding you guys, so thanks even just for reading my book. Means a lot to me.

Have a nice day/night.
