"Wh- What the fu*k?! " Dante was caught offguarded by the last book so much that he almost fell from the bed!
This! Who is this?! That guy from the Solar Square was a subordinate and not a normal Person?! Whose subordinate is he? And what does he want with me?
Does he know about Aetherius Scribe?! Or worse, my Transmigration secret?!... Either way, I am really screwed...
Dante didn't believed the words of the man that he meant no harm. This was a foreign world that he was totally unfamiliar with! This world may be like those Xianxia world's from the books he read in his previous life— Full of Schemes and hidden powershouses and those evil maniacs ! And believing in a word of someone who you don't know and who possibly knows your secret is a retarded thing!
A Seer... He also gave a prophecy... When the day and night converges, he will awaken from his ancient slumber.... Who is ' He ' ?
... When he meets me, it will be the end of 'it' and beginning of 'Him' ... What does this phrase mean and what does that have do with him meeting me?
Wait.... Blue scarf... Blue eyes... Are they related?!.... No.. You are overthinking Dante... .. But what if it's related? Is he related to that silhouette from the dream?.... I don't know..
What the hell is happening to me?! First, I got Transmigrated and then an Old grandpa gets in my mind... Secondly, I got caught in a clash between Dieties in my dream... And thirdly, I have caught attention of a leader of an Organization or a hidden powerhouse.... All of this in span of almost 3 days!! My luck is really bad.... It's good that I am in Solarionis Kingdom,Otherwise the outcome wouldn't have been a simple message... Maybe.
Dante state of mind was in mess. He was just a normal person before and now in just 3 days, he is caught in schemes of Powerhouses in an another World!
What should I do? Should I tell someone? No.. I would surely be questioned by the Nodesmiths. They might even know that I possess Aetherius scribe, which is an artifact related to a Fallen Diety, if one of them has mind reading powers...
After a long time of straining his mind, Dante finally arrived at a decision.
I will be in Solarionis atleast till I become a Nodesmith. If nothing happens, then I may extend my stay...
Solarionis Kingdom is a strong kingdom... King Aldric is definitely not someone who is weak.. They wouldn't dare to do anything careless in this kingdom...
I am also entering an Academy... I will try to gather all the information I can about this world, Organization, Gods and Famous Individuals and maybe become friend with a prominent arrogant young master..... Maybe not that...
Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.
I would atleast make some friends with potential of becoming Nodesmiths... This way I can have someone to rely on in future... This would take some time...
Ugh! My mind is in total mess with all these incidents! Give me a break, You hidden powerhouses!!
Sigh, I am already a puppet that is being controlled... But what can I even do... I am nothing but fly in front of them.
My only choice is just to play along.....
Dante sighed again in frustration.
All of my next courses of action should be related to getting benefits and getting strong....
Dante eyes glowed a little as he remembered the information from the Notebook.
Spiritual trials... Chaos Period.. Will of Origin...Nothing creating Something... Weakening of Will of Origin and the Ruins of the Lost Ones...
The Ruins of the Lost Ones is a thing that is full of mysteries . First, it gave humanity a way to open Nodes, which was changed in the future and Secondly, it contained records about the Chaos period.... 'Lost Ones'.... An ancient civilizations that somehow got wiped from Celestia? That might be the case....
The Nodes have Spiritual trials that are based on their Concept.. The Ignifer Nexus' Concept is Flames... Aqua Maelstrom's Concept is Water and so on...
I-i have to purify atleast a single Node of its Will of Origin before tomorrow's entrance exam... But my soul Will get injured.. What should I do? Should I go and buy something beforehand to prevent any mishaps... Yeah, I should go.
Dante slowly got up from the bed and left the Area. Shortly after, he arrived in Solar Square.
As expected, he isn't here anymore..
Dante remarked in his mind as he saw the seller who gave him the Notebook had left the area.
He slowly moved in the Solar square to find something to heal his soul incase of any mishaps.
After some time, he arrived at a shop that was selling milky stones that were brightly glowing.
Dante gazed at the seller who was a middle aged man, wearing a monocle on his right eye. He had several wrinkles in his cheeks with a small scar on his forehead.
"Do you have anything that can heal the soul after failing a spiritual trial? "
" I do. These milky white stones are the Soul Replenishing Stones. They are especially brought from the Death Valley. Crushing a single rock would heal all the damages to your Soul. They are 60 Luminal Shards each. "
Dante thought for a moment before calmly replying,
" I want 3 of them, but the price is too high. 40 Luminal Shards each for a total of 120 Luminal Shards. "
The old man wasn't budged at Dante's Negotiation.
" Ahem. These Soul Replenishing stones are of very high quality as they are from the Death Valley. The danger of Death Valley along with the cost of Transportation has made it this expensive. The last I can do is 55 Luminal Shards each. "
Dante wasn't disappointed by this. He calmly replied,
"I know of the reasons. But 55 Luminal Shards is still too high.... How about 50 Luminal Shards each? This is a very good price and you will also earn quite a bit. The total would be 150 Luminal Shards. This is the price I can afford. "
The shopkeeper thought for a moment before agreeing.
Dante then handed 30 Radiant Shards and 30 Luminal Shards to the Seller and left the area.
I still have the spirit ring of the subordinate of that Seer.. I can't neglect the thought of it being contaminated by him or it being a tracking device... If I manage to enter the academy, I will ask someone to inspect it for me. If for some reasons, I failed the entrance exam then I would be screwed and I would have to reformulate my future plans. In the case of Latter, the spirit ring would of course be sold to someone else....
Dante thought for a moment before heading to the inn. After some time, he arrived at his room and sat down on the bed with a milky stone in front of him.
This is my first spiritual trial... These spiritual trials are most likely random just like the punishment of the Will of Origin... The Will of Origin really likes Randomness...
Anyway, I have to be extremely confident and careful to not make any mistake.
Dante then closed his eyes and focused on the Ignifer Nexus Node. Suddenly, the Ignifer Nexus seemed to shake a little and in the next moment, it completely engulfed Dante!
And So, The Spiritual Trial of the Ignifer Nexus began!
