The Journey was going well or he would say if, The Carriage wasn't moving so slowly too slow the man looked out the window and saw that even he could walk faster. He began to tap his foot repeatedly, and the vibrations slightly shook the carriage. "Could you stop that it's annoying" The Voice sounded like it couldn't be bothered!
"Joker Better yet why are we moving so slow? I only tagged along cause you said it was important. But I Probably Would have run to Mercy By now!"
Joker's position didn't change he sat with his legs crossed staring out the window.
"When you're in a rush how much time do you think you save?"
Wraith rubbed his beard "A couple minutes?"
Joker chuckled "Nope 30 seconds" snapping his fingers and removing the spell he had placed on the carriage
Wraith started to fall over he felt like his body was being ripped apart before Joker snapped his fingers again "Time Dilution if we didn't move this slow we wouldn't be able to adjust to the environment changes Mercy puts on you."
Wraith was starting to understand, "Is that why, we are the only ones on this path?" the most popular path was currently the Vile Road, It was still one of the most unkempt paths. But still offered the highest success of actually arriving in Mercy. It wasn't because Mercy did not maintain them. Getting there was half the trick, The Paths to Mercy are tunnels. When entering A Giants body the Space always changes you are in between worlds
It was quite a strange experience when first arriving within Mercy you first had to be above a certain level to not experience the side effects many Nobel sons show up just to become victims to the many status ailments. This phenomenon was called the antibodies of Mercy was a city that you could say has a mind of its own. It wanted to reject you, people born within Mercy are usually anomalies.
This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
But the opposite effect happened when they left the confines of the city and the rules of the natural world
"You can say it's a secret path of sorts, Safer but you have to move slower to handle the effects"
"It's about time you tell me why you dragged me out here" Joker suddenly arrived and said they had something to show him. Wraith came out of respect but still wanted to know what could be so important,
"I think I have a way for you to fulfill your dream it will require a favor in exchange" Wraith instantly laughed,
"That's a bold statement" Wraith looked at Joker and his face was unchanged he was completely serious
"Once We arrive you will understand" Joker didn't budge in fact he had been saying this all along. Wraith took the bait but he was beyond curious.
His dream was not an easy one to accomplish at least with the power he currently had.
"Still this pace is exhausting couldn't you have provided any entertainment?"
Joker's face looked like it was thinking "I have a special trick for times like this" Snapping his fingers tiny orbs began to glow around him. The carriage glowed with a soft light.
Wraith has always been impressed with Joker's Magic Control but this was not what he meant
"I have the common spirits vibrate to various frequencies, it can be of use" Joker was nodding his head as he said this. "Have you heard the story of the First Human?"
Wraith Nodded it was a common fairy tale
"In face when i was young that was my favorite story, It was a different time back then all the tools and comforts didn't exist either."
"It all started with my exploration of Mercy. I had found a diary entry on one of the lower levels. But unfortunately, I couldn't find anyone to decipher them. Until recently I learned a language skill.
One of Joker's Natural abilities is to pick up other people's skills he can use them at a reduced efficiency.
"What I Discovered was quite interesting, It started with one Human "
Notes from $$$$$
People were tired of the Trial the difficulty suddenly spiked
This message was displayed in front of everyone's eyes
[The Trial will begin shortly]
People were confused This message was displayed in front of everyone's eyes
This world has never known peace Since anyone can remember they have been here. No recollection of where they came from before but they all remember the message
[Welcome to the Garden]
The land seemed endless there was enough food
At first, it was interesting exploring and learning the ways of the world. There was a sense of unity.
Suddenly Joker stopped Wraith and started to frown "What happened next?"
Joker laughed "The efficiency of the language skill decreases the longer I use it. Still, It is interesting the idea of a world unlike ours as an origin"
"We will be there eventually, I will fill you in more as we get closer"
