The Game Rune System

Chapter 109: Angels

Tetsuya barely could look into the sky as he was exhausted from overusing his runes and strength. He just went full out two times and nothing happened, even if his slash was backed by many people's techniques.

But the world continued to surprise him and his understanding of the top yet again got broken.

The man with nothing, but robes appeared out of nowhere and stood in the air. 

His eyes were glued to Tetsuya as if the monster before him meant nothing. Every bystander thought like that as the power of the sphere was merciless and unbeatable.

An unknown technique continued to absorb the monster and it completely had no word whether it wanted to negotiate or beseech the unknown entity.

The whole event broke common sense and soon the monster became another part of the unidentified sphere.

The silence descended onto the southern province and the moon returned to lighten the area. As if chosen by destiny, Tetsuya became the primary target of this light, his body in hands of the beautiful lady.

"Tetsuya It's bad If this guy holds deep enmity with demons, then we are done," Ashley whispered from the inside, her voice laced in a worry. She wanted to scream 'RUN!' before, but the man quickly locked down Tetsuya.

This made her feel even more worried and sadness bloomed within her eyes.

Tetsuya wanted Yara Yu to take a step back, but she refused and held him tighter. He got slightly annoyed by that, but it was her will. A will that wanted to be with the man her heart had chosen!

"Let's see" The same, domineering voice rang out from the side. The man appeared in the blink of an eye next to Tetsuya and his eyes probed through his body. Not only did he see through Tetsuya's bloodline, but his eyes even spotted Ashley's soul within!

He whispered, "The same bloodline Rosie was ordered to erase Haha, so are you survivors without guidance?"

"We are," Tetsuya replied. The man appeared to be filled with curiosity and even laughed at Red Rose Woman's failure, so Tetsuya decided to take a safer and proper approach. He didn't speak with any ego and respect could be felt within his tone.

It made the man believe that Tetsuya had yet to become closer with his bloodline and turn more naughty. However, the men had it easier when it came to this bloodline! It was demon women who were stronger and more liable towards it.

He said, "Since you can use this bloodline on a mass scale like that, then you aren't half-bad. Let's go to my house for further talks," The man waved his hand and Yara Yu got forced to give up on Tetsuya.

She looked at him deeply, but Tetsuya thanked for everything and told her to begin the proper measures as his moderator.

At the same time, the man introduced himself, "Call me Graf."

"Tetsuya and Ashley," Tetsuya replied with his and Ashley's name as she was far from hidden to these experienced eyes.

Two of them went up to the sky, pulled by enigmatic power that Tetsuya believed to be the gravity control. This power made him lighter and it further confirmed his thoughts.

But the man stopped and said, "Do you know someone who can use this rune?" The original rune that belonged to Verdia Master was now floating above Graf's hand. It reeked off the darkness and resentment, but Tetsuya had different thoughts.

Why would this man ask him this?

"Do you think he wants to find a successor or erase everyone that used this rune?" Tetsuya asked Ashley for her opinion. She had the same thoughts, so both of them could either expose Thera Wojte or not.

If Graf would look for the successor, then it would be Thera Wojte's biggest lucky chance! If not, then it could completely reverse and be his doom.

Ashley knew that nothing was free in this world and that one had to properly work for it. All of this was associated with enough risk.

Risks had to be taken and since Thera Wojte was close to Tetsuya, her beloved had been leaning towards the route where he would deny the master.

However, the original rune was just too tempting and Thera Wojte himself would risk it. It would also be a chance for him to bring back his beloved, so Ashley decided, "He wants a successor. Agree with him, Tetsuya."

The words Ashley chose were wrong because Tetsuya instantly understood she wanted him to risk. Nonetheless, Ashley was his first woman and beloved, so no way she would work against his heart.

Tetsuya replied, "I know."

"Let's bring him with us, then. Who is it?" After Thera Wojte had been highlighted by Tetsuya's eyes, he got pulled up to the sky, then the group of three plus one soul instantly swept through the sky.

In less than ten minutes, they appeared in the northern part.

It was a wasteland and nothing could be seen here. The withered ground seemed like a stone with cracks and upon touching it, one wouldn't even dream of digging here. The air felt polluted and dirty and the whole sky seemed to be also different in this area.

There was a house here, though.

In this house, Graf had been doing his work, but what exactly was this work, Tetsuya could only imagine.

"This rune can belong to you," After everyone took seats in the house, Graf flicked the rune that gently floated to the middle of the table. It stopped exactly here and tempted Thera Wojte who had been eager to get it ever since seeing it.

He turned his eyes to the man and asked, "What should I do to receive it?"

"World is vast and many lands are left unexplored. Their inhabitants hold even more mysteries, then their progenitors are one secret troves Our mission is to see through the whole world and its secrets. In a nutshell, you will join us and explore the world, ready to take any mission to see through it."

"I am willing It was already confined in this household, so I will finally spread my wings in the whole world." Thera Wojte accepted and joined one of the factions that imposed their principles and ideas to the world.

With the rune assimilated in his body, Thera Wojte learned a lot more about death spectres, then could even summon it out of his body. By summoning it out, Thera Wojte could feed it its energy and summon something like a mini Grim Reaper.

The worst thing was that the original rune would be lost if this grim reaper died. Thera Wojte was not skilled like Graf, so he couldn't stop it nor play with such high runes like that.

Nonetheless, he was ready for harsh training and once Graf told him to leave the house, Thera Wojte went outside to study the new knowledge.

Alone with the master, Tetsuya asked, "Since you know Red Rose Woman, what's your stance on demons?"

"I and the majority of people in our Truth Seeking Globe are nerds." Graf began with another important piece of information. The word 'nerd' piqued Ashley's interest and her ears twitched from ecstasy.

She was a bookworm and many people looked down on it, but there were actually bookworms so strong like that!

Graf continued, "I can't stand lack of knowledge  If I feel something unidentified, then I get itchy all around my body. A faint sense of fear also creeps its way towards my heart and I can't stand this shit. You can tell that I am friends with a lot of people just because I wanted to see through them."

"Are you friends with demons then?" Tetsuya asked while Ashley shook her head to the man's words. He wasn't like her at all! And it seemed like Truth Seeking Globe people were the same!

Graf laughed, "No Our leader had spoken with them a few times and that's it They don't go against us and we have the same stance. But since we have the same strength level, I know what happened in neighboring provinces. Thus, I know what Rosie's mission was and about her organization."

"I see If you want to learn about myself" Tetsuya just said about his playful demon abilities, mainly moba game and mmorpg game. It wasn't stupid choice and he asked Ashley about it beforehand.

It was fair to share this with this man.

If he became their player then Tetsuya would get so strong just by spending time with him and cultivating all his stats.

"That's so nice MMORPG? MOBA? Show me!" The nerd wanted to see everything.

-

A few days later.

"Did you know that demons were actually angels?" Graf said the words that left Tetsuya and Ashley frozen. They just blinked their eyes and looked at the man with pupils so big it was kinda scary.

"Come again?" Tetsuya managed to reply!

"It's just a theory, though! Haha!"
