Everyone has their own story.
Whether it's a story full of happiness, an interesting story, or a story full of tragedy.
Erick is one of those whose life is filled with tragedy. A hero from another world who had such an unfortunate fate. A failed hero who lost everything.
As soon as he stabbed the dagger into his heart, Niki and Rose felt Erick's connection with Austin Farmland being forcibly severed.
Even so, the two were not too surprised. That crazy guy from before also had the same method. As long as they paid, Austin Farmland didn't need to bother taking care of unimportant matters.
"Your name is Erick, right?"
"Correct. That is the name I have.”
Leon thought about it for a while before looking at Niki and Rose. “Can you give us some time? There is something I want to say to this person and this Pixie in my arms.”
“Of course, Mr. Leon.” Niki and Rose said at the same time while taking Leon to a special room.
Inside there, there were only Leon, Erick, and a little pixie in his arms.
“Interesting, are you sure that you are a hero?” Leon asked while looking at Erick.
“That's what people call me. Although I'm not sure if the title matters anymore after coming to Austin Farmland.”
“This is interesting. How interesting.” Leon couldn't remove the gaze he had from Austin.
Erick, who felt Leon's gaze, didn't dare raise his head. For some reason, he didn't want to know what Leon was thinking right now.
“People who have the Great Destiny trait will mostly have terrifying talents. But what you have… is truly unique.”
It's really unique. With this, everything will become a little easier. The trip to this place really yielded a lot of results.
Leon couldn't take his eyes off the system screen in front of him.
[Name: Erick (Human)
Level: Ordinary Human
Talent: Spectator, Light and Dark Dual Constitution, Path of Victory.
Status: an ordinary member of the Magic Tower of Babel
Traits: Great Destiny. (a human who carved his way to invincibility. He was a terrifying cosmic destroyer in the far future.)
Credits: 0
Note: A pathetic hero who failed to save his world. Owner of the Talent Path of Victory, a person who always carves his way to victory. Without realizing it, Erick always uses this talent to survive as a hero which causes the death of his girlfriend, his parents, and his friends. In the end, he failed due to the intervention of a Cosmic entity who saw the uniqueness of his talent and decided to sell it to Austin Farmland and gain extraordinary wealth.]
Hearing Leon's words, Erick couldn't help but look at Leon who was still looking at him with a mysterious look and a smile on his face.
“Get up. You are now a member of the magic tower of Babel. Lowering your head like that is not something appropriate to do.”
"I understand." Erick slowly got up while watching Leon hand over a 7-colored Pixie in his hand.
Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.
“Take this and take care of this little creature. Make this your familiar and develop him as best you can.” Leon said lightly.
Erick looked at it and nodded. “I will carry out Tower leader's orders.”
“You know what you can access and what you can't, right?”
Erick nodded and understood what Leon meant. After he thrust the dagger, a stream of information regarding the magic tower of Babel and what he needed to know immediately flowed inside his head.
“Then spare yourself. I still have a lot of things I need to do.” After saying that, Leon went outside to meet Niki and Rose.
“This time, I won't fail again,” Erick said in his heart and brought out the same system as Zaratul. White light flashed and he immediately disappeared from there.
***
“This place seems so vast and endless.” Zaratul looked towards the vast fields and dense forests filled with endless trees.
This reminded him of the dimension he lived in before. It's just that, the atmosphere and atmosphere here is more lively and there are no massacres taking place.
“Have you found the final option you wanted?” A human appeared beside Zaratul carrying a book and recording what the guests who came had chosen.
4 humans with genetic mutations that make their bodies unstable and in a constant state between physical form and astral form. The man accompanying Zaratul looked at the 4 humans who were following them obediently and didn't say much.
“If you want talent superior to these guys, we have something that might interest you. Are you interested?" The man offered Zaratul several other recommendations, but he did not pay any attention to them.
“You don't need to say anything. I've wanted the last person since I first came here.” Zaratul smiled horribly.
He looked towards the big fight that was taking place near the forest area between two Beastmen and a Harpie. Even so, his gaze was not focused on them, but on a small transparent Orb that was almost ignored by everyone here.
Even though it was very small, he could feel a very strong sense of consciousness from the Orb. The small ball of energy that didn't even have a body, released the consciousness he had ever so subtly.
“That little orb, I want it.”
“Understood.” The man smiled and snapped his fingers. A small orb appeared in front of Zaratul and slowly landed in his hand.
“By this, you have chosen the items you want to buy. I will report it to my superiors and if you change your mind, then don't hesitate to call me again.” The moment he closed the book, the man immediately disappeared without a trace.
"Who are you? Do you have any food?” The small orb revolved around Zaratul.
“I'm hungry… I'm hungry… I'm hungry…”
A strange, gentle aura flowed out of the Orb that gave off an ominous feeling. Even though the language coming from the orb was quite strange, he could somehow understand it.
“This…” The five people behind Zaratul held their heads as if they were feeling terrible pain. They immediately transformed into astral form and released the magic energy they possessed.
“This is useless!!!”
“What the hell is that Thing?”
“Attacking Consciousness directly? This is even better than I expected.” Zaratul laughed and took out a piece of black energy ball from his body.
Orb saw the black energy ball in Zaratul's hand, he immediately flew there and devoured all the black energy there. Once it was full, it flew around Zaratul as if he were the most precious person he had.
"Again! Again! Again!"
Zaratul released some more black energy and let the Orb eat hungrily. “Eat lots of my Little Orbs. You will be a very good Asset for master.”
Once full, the Orb seemed to revolve around Zaratul and seemed to recognize him as the person it trusted most.
Seeing this, Zaratul showed a big smile.
Seeing Zaratul Smiling, the orb looked happier and radiated the gentle aura he had more of.
But in the eyes of the others, the smile of the black shadow looked like a horror that they should not see. The red eye that just looked like a light gave the illusion that it was always looking at them.
“What the hell is that creature???”
The four people behind Zaratul were thinking the same thing. Even though they had seen many humans and creatures bred and reared here, Zaratul looked different from all of them.
“We will meet the Master I serve. A master you will serve even when death comes to you.”
Zaratul raised his magic power and suppressed the aura that the small orb was releasing. The torturous feeling that the four humans felt immediately disappeared and they could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
They immediately got up and followed Zaratul towards a large palace in the distance.
It was a forbidden place that they could not enter. No, just imagining entering it is impossible. They could only live outside and build some simple huts while struggling to survive.
Inside the Palace, Zaratul bowed towards Leon who was looking at the Fruit given by Caihong's Father.
“I have completed your orders, Master.”
Leon saw the 5 entities brought by Zaratul and looked at them carefully. Even though his death wasn't anything special, the changes brought about by the magical techniques he was practicing had shown rapid progress during his time here.
"Good. You can go back now.”
“As you wish, master.” Zaratul got up and looked for a moment at the system notification showing that his task was complete. After watching for a moment, he closed the system and returned to Leon's shadow.
