"So…about the organization, or Arm that you are facing right now is much dangerous than you think. It has more forces and allies around the continent. They conquer the whole Eastern Continent's Underworld."
"Mogoru Empire are allies if these organization. They also made an ally to the north, Bear Tribes, Lion Tribes, Flame Dwarf Tribes, Black Mages, Alchemist, some Dark Elves and Vampires. There are many I could count on."
"In fact, Alchemist Tower is owned by Arm and is actually a dead man a facility where they produces dead man a using people like those who live from the slums or slaves that secretly sold from the tower. Actually…the empire involves about it."
Crack!
Cale suddenly stop when he heard something cracking. He look at the source, Choi Han was holding the table so hard that is almost destroying it.
Then Choi Han suddenly flinched and let go the cracked table. Cale confuse to his sudden change of mood that he didn't know that Geno look at him in threatening gaze.
He sigh, "Please do not destroy the furniture."
Then continue where he stop, "Anyway, Arm is just a small forces unlike the main one which is inside the gate of the Demon World, found in one of the forbidden region of the Eastern Continent."
"Inside is a kingdom called Enable Kingdom, which ruled by the leader of the organization named White Star. That damn bastard planned to conquer the Western Continent. To do that, he will create a war to weakened or destroy the other kingdoms."
He look at everyone and they look grim to such revelation. Then he smile but what he say next never match his smile,
"Now, let's talk about that White Shit's real purpose as well as his bullshitting past and how everything came to be."
Cale swear as he smile. The words he is speaking does not match the sweet smiling face he was making. Meanwhile, everyone we're surprise to such ridiculous information.
Then he start continue again, "Well, White Star, or should I say Cale Barrow, is a reincarnator. Someone who died and reincarnate many times with memories intact for about a thousand years."
"Well…he was originally a Dragon Slayer, but cursed by the former Dragon Lord by broking the vow that the first Dragon Slayer made with the Dragon Lord. I will not explain about that. I don't know the full details about it. But I know that he wants to be like the Ancient White Star, becoming a God."
"That bastard has only 4 out of 5 natural attributes of ancient powers thus his plate is not balance, unlike mine. Some of my forces make a small mess in the small forces of Arm around the two continents, while planting spies in his base."
"So I got a lot of information about them." He tap the table, "Unlike you guys who's throwing your own lives without knowing the enemies' strength, I am much more prepared."
The room went silent. Throughout the whole time, Cale explain everything. Everyone was feeling kinds of things.
Those who are aware like Geno, Eruhaben, the kids, and Hans who was just accidentally involve Cale's works was not very surprise but for others is not the same.
They didn't even know a lot of things that Cale just said. Choi Han was both mad and sad. He was mad to hear what Arm was doing and he was sad because he was almost dragging them through death to fight Arm without knowing anything about them.
Ron and Beacrox was amused at how Cale know and was worried for him. They didn't want Cale to be involve such danger and that's the reason why they left him for his goodwill. But they would've never guess that he was involve to such situation.
Rosalyn was surprise at how much Cale knew and she suspecting him as he seems to know too much. Pendrick was just looking at Eruhaben, thinking of questions to ask him later.
Lock was mad that he can't just kill the enemies that kill his family and destroy his village.
Cale was observing all of their reactions. When he was looking at Choi Han's frowning, he was kind of scared that Choi Han will beat him again. The impression of being beaten fears him a lot.
Rosalyn seems stop suspecting him. Lock seems angry. Pendrick seems lost. As for Ron and Beacrox…
Cale didn't want to talk about them.
"Young master Cale…about your string ability. What's so special about it?" Rosalyn was curious about it.
When he first use the string ability, she feel something different to it's power. It's different to mana, aura, and ancient powers she knows. The power seems very…unique.
Cale look at them as they eagerly want to know about the strings. He sigh, explain,
"As you see last time when I use my string ability, it was an ability inherited to my maternal family, the Thames family's bloodline."
Ron flinched when hearing it. Ron knows about his biological mother's family but he never knows about the family bloodline's abilities.
Cale continues, "Thames family are the forgotten fallen family who secretly research the concept of 'Time and Life' for generations to generations. My mother, Jur Thames, is the last direct blood line before me."
"Now, I am the last blood line and my ability awakened last year. The Thames' abilities categorize in fate, time, and space. But my ability is a rare one where all categories found."
"It has 5 stages, and I'm about to reach the 5th stage right now but I need to take a test from someone. I can freely change one's fate, stop time, and controls space but not much."
"Because of hy ability, I have a special presence which attracts to those higher existence like Gods and can affects the world's fate. That's why I need to wear the veil or stay in the house or Villa's vicinity to suppress the leakage of my presence."
'But it's quite half-truth. In my first life, none of this happened. And the voice told me the reason.' Cale thought. Because of his reincarnation and regression, his presence attracts Gods and change the world's fate. That also affects his string ability.
He is thankful to the unknown God that it prepare everything to hide his presence, 'I need to solidify my awakening.'
"Kid. You never told me about this." Eruhaben said, then he clicked his tongue, "No wonder, misfortunes always follows you."
'What do you mean about that?' Cale confuse but also suddenly he shudders in nonexistence cold.
"Anyway, I use the 2nd stage of the string ability to full extent to change Pendrick's dying fate. But the downside is I'll be weakened for a few days before I could use it."
"But because of a certain punk who pulled out the veil before my presence completely disappear, now all the Gods are all eyes on me." He look at the perpetrator who is flinching on his seat.
Well, it was Choi Han's fault that instead he weakened for days, he fell to coma for a week. He don't know what kind of punishment did Geno give him. He won't ask for that, or he will haunted by nightmares at night for days.
"There are some that I still not confirm yet about Arms and unknown powers of my ability so…"
He suddenly slap the table. Everyone can see that slap is not simple as it contains unknown strength. The whole Villa shaken slightly and the stardust that lingering around seems to understood his intention.
The stardust disappear. He left to his seat and the children reacted, running towards him as they big his waist.
"You can explain about the Arm at the Crown Prince." Then he gesture them to hush, "But once you told him about my 'secret' without any protection in the God's eyes, they will targeted you."
"And where are you going?" Eruhaben suddenly asked. He knows that after his explanation, he will run away for a time being.
"Somewhere to take the test." He said, "Geno, stay here. Eruhaben, come with me with the children. I need you to take care of them." Then he approach the children and tuck Raon up while the cat children hugging his waist rubs their heads.
'…Am I a babysitter?' Eruhaben suddenly questioning his own existence.
"Young master."
"Hmm?"
"Why?"
Geno asked Cale with a gentle smile. Well…actually…a 'gentle' smile.
Cale knows Geno hate Choi Han for bringing his lord in danger. But his assistance for troublesome works is needed to this situation.
"Because of a sudden attack from the sky, problem arose. And they needed some assistance. So take care of them."
"…You mean bumping all troublesome works on me."
"Exactly."
Geno got speechless to his response. Cold mist envelops around Cale and his group before disappearing.
Geno sigh before looking at Choi Han's group. His expression change from gentleness to coldness, "So…is there something you need?"
____________________________________________________________________________
Cale's group teleported somewhere. The mist disappear as astound to the scenery they seen.
They we're in the floating island surrounded with darkness and endless found of stars. The floating island was protected by barrier made of transparent tunic words.
And at their front is a tree with no leaves, like a dead tree. But it's bark is glowing white, gives the feeling as if stars connected to each branches as leaves.
"Human, where are we?" Raon question his guardian with face filled with amazement and curiosity. He seen this in their secret base but not as enchanting as this place.
"A temporary domain of a God." He answer in normal way, "Do you still have my veil in your spatial dimension?"
"Here!" He already took out and gave it to Cale.
"I can feel the power of a God in this place." Eruhaben said while scanning the surroundings, especially the tree. "Have you gone in this place every time you took the test?"
Cale nod in his question. He didn't wear the veil, only properly fold it.
"Judging in the kids' expression, you come here by yourself." He look at the average 9-year-old kids with face filled with curiosity to the unknown place they are now. Then look back at Cale, "Why did you bring us here?"
[[For safety measure.]]
The voice that is not a man or a woman echoes through the surrounding space. They look at the source, and they as a being under the tree not far from them.
[[Welcome to my temporary domain: Stallaris.]]
