Chapter 3 : Nightmare of the past 

A year passed, since the Creator talk to Linus. Now, his plan is set; only waiting for the right time to execute it. 

Being a royalty is both blessing and curse. 

Blessing because  royalty have security, wealth, not spending your own money, fame, titles; while the curse, royalty have life dedicated to duty, never having  own privacy, never being free, have to wear designated clothes, and lastly, target of hypocrites.That is if a person don't have the power to be one. 

At the particular room. A boy at the age of 3 finished reading all the book that scattered in his room.

"Now that I am finished all this. It is time for cleaning. Anny, come in. Please clean this room. " Linus said pointing all the booka in his room. 

"After this, you can retire the night. " he said 

"Don't worry about me, I'm just in the library " 

Linus added stopping his feet at the door, before leaving the room. Heading to the town. He spent his one year sneaking out; going to the town to learn things like smiting, alchemy and eavesdropping to the people in the taverns and trade district with the help of his new Complete inexistence technique. Completely hiding his presence like he didn't exist at all. Thus, making it easy for him to sneak out. 

There are times that he encountered some thugs doing evil things. The people in the slum are always the victims. 

At that night. He firstly visit the OldVolt Tavern. He entered but nobody noticed him.  There are people. Drinking, chatting, arm wrestling, and adventurers from different Empire. Gathering information about their quest. 

He continue onwards to his usual place. Some conversation caught his attention. 

"Hey, senior Liam. You're already at the peak of mortal domain in just 5 years. Some take 7-10 yrs to be a GrandMaster. Your a genius of our clan. " Alik said praising his senior 

"Alik. You praise me too much. I'm still at GrandMaster rank, wait Until that ancient tomb appears. I will definitely be able to breakthrough to crystallization stage and be a warlord rank." Liam smugly said 

"Senior Liam. I'm Master rank, Is there also an opportunity for me to breakthrough faster? By the help of that ancient Tomb?." Alik asked politely 

"Of course, only few know about this certain tomb. But the treasure in that tomb can cause experts to go war over it. The fewer people know bout this the better. So, don't speak about this to anyone. " he added pointedly 

"There are many treasures like technique, profound pills, herbs, elixir even mystic and legendary rank weapon and relic that can help to you cultivation. When the moon appear it's light will tell us the location of the tomb. Let's go, we will unite with the others."Liam said immediately getting ready. Leaving the tavern, heading to the alley.

Linus followed them, But when they arrived at the alley Alik summoned his Qi and stab Liam at the back. Liam reacted but it's too late. The rapier already buried to his limb. Liam winced and grimace can be seen in his face.

"Alik!! You.. do you think this can kill me? I'm at the peak of mortal realm. And your sneak attack can be healed by my Qi. " Jumping away from Alik. Healing his wound but he did not expecting  something.

"What's this!? Alik... you're an agent of Dark Croak.!? Only their agent have this poison. Ugh... " paralyzed when he activated his Qi. The poison also activated. Leaving him no way to escape. Dropping his dagger. 

"As expected of my senior. That poison is the Crimson gel from a Dark Croak demonic spirit beast. When Qi made a contact with it. The effect will kick in. It will convert your  Qi into Crimson gel poison, thus killing you slowly. Sorry senior but I'm the only one will get the treasure. The young master will reward me for this also,  Hehehe... good bye.. " Alik said smiling evilly. Walking closer to Liam. Stopping in front of him ready to deliver him to afterlife. 

This is the right moment for Linus to interfere. With his complete inexistence technique, Alik didn't even notice that a dagger is going to kill him. 

Killing a Master rank is an easy feat for Linus, because of his divine body. He can rival a unique rank weapon. 

"Ugh.. wh-what's this?... ugh... how did this happen. You I w-" 

His sentence stop. Alik's head rolling in front of dying Liam. He revealed himself to Liam. 

"Haha.. tha-thanks kid... Now, I don't need to think of revenge... here take this. This is the map of the location of the Ancient tomb. I didn't even sense you, even your cultivation. But it looks like your following us from quite sometime...although I didn't expect Alik would do this. I lied to him about the moon light... Everything about the Tomb is in that scroll kid, my advice don't even think of going there until you are strong enough.... ugh.. please burn my remain after I die.... "  giving his last breath and words.

Linus notice their ring a silver ring and a gold ring. This ring are Space ring. Binded with the owners blood. The rings can store items even foods, but not living things. 

There are Silver, Gold, Platinum Space ring.  The platinum ring  have infinite space and can also store a living thing. The Gold rings space is three times the silver ring that can store even a house. 

He takes the ring and all their belongings, and burned their corpses. He wants to go to the smithy but after what happened. He immediately head back to the Palace. To his room and sleep. 

He can't sleep thinking of what he just did. Killing someone can inflict traumatic effect, especially for a 3yrs old. But he's mind is not of a toddler. 

He closes his eyes and drift off to sleep. At that night he dreamed of his past life. The time he got his first kill. One of his colleagues want to kill him. After their exploration in the Egypt.

 He discover the largest pyramid at the center of the dessert. There, written how the ancient civilizations built the pyramids and the encounter of beings from outer space. That aliens from the neighboring galaxy visit the earth millions and billions of years ago. Because of Linus's discovery at that time many questions have answered and Linus is hailed as the Wise Archaeologist. 

His colleagues also help, but Linus is the one who depicted the hieroglyphics, Greek and Ancient language that led him to his fame. Greed and Envy drives his colleagues to kill him. It's also the reason why Alik kill Liam his senior. 

He wakes up early. He go towards the dining hall. He spotted Celest his mother. 

"Linus, you spending your time in the library so much. Come on let's eat. " Celest said. Linus joining her. 

"Linus what do you do when we're away? Just reading books? "Celest asked glancing at Linus 

"Yeah, reading about the worlds history and stuff " Linus answered putting a smile on his face.

"Mom, when will big bro, and sis will be back? " Linus asked changing the topic about what he do. If his mom discovered that he just an expert last night. She will be shocked. Killing an expert is easy as pie for Celest, but for Linus a kid that didn't even gone to his potential test is extremely astonishing. 

"They'll be back months before your potential test " Celest said. 

"Is that so? Hmm... Mom what rank are you? " 

This question make her stare at Linus figuring his cultivation level but she sense nothing. Her son is a normal person who didn't cultivated yet. 

This is the 2 stage of complete inexistence technique, completely erasing ones cultivation but not literally erasing. 

Concluding that her son didn't cultivated yet. She answered the question. 

"Your mom is at the transcendent domain. I'm a level 8 Warlord rank, while your father is King rank. You will know the rankings after your potential test. " Celest chuckle and smile at her son who also chuckle. 

By spending most of his time in the library. Linus already know of the ranking system. He also know how powerful a Warlord is. 

After their bonding, Celest needed to leave and help her husband manage the province of Flovus. Her presence there will stabilize some noble extreme hypocrisy and dispute 

Linus return to his room after her mother leave. Putting all the loot he got from last night's encounter, staring at it, thinking of Liam's word before he died. 

Don't even think of going there until you are strong enough 

Deciding that he won't go the the ancient tomb until he reach GrandMaster rank himself. He got 12,000 gold coins from the silver space ring and some cultivation pills, while the gold space ring have 1,000 platinum coins , the mystic rank dagger and the map. 

Currency :

100 Cooper = 10 silver coins 

1000 silver = 1 gold coins 

1000 gold = 1 platinum 

He concluded, that Liam is a rich person. Sweating from excitement. The dagger he got have a high level piercing enchantment. 

He read the books in the library and cultivated every night. Years passed, the potential test day is approaching.
