Cosmic Editor

Chapter 48: Tier 1



[And I offered you all the information you needed at the time, this is completely unrelated to what you asked] Nous said to defend itself

"Yeah but it would have definitely helped me to break through" David countered

[Still not my fault]

"It's definitely your fault,"

Hearing Nous defend itself, David only got angrier. Even if he had problems sensing his internal bio-energy, he was definitely an expert at sensing life force or life energy.

In fact, he was constantly sensing it despite its ethereal existence. Creating the domain and Nous had drained his life force so he had long since developed some sort of sensitivity towards it.

It was so much to the extent he could even feel the metaphysical energy flowing through his entire body. Choosing not to think about Nous and it's annoying behavior.

David immediately crossed his legs again and immediately began meditating or at least he did what he thought meditation was.

[If you can't calm yourself enough then I would advice you follow the prepared training manual, it will help you focus] Nous suddenly said

"What?!".

[I said that in order to increase your chances, it will be best if you follow the training routine I crafted for you.] Nous replied as David got even more speechless

"Is it more effective than the meditation?" David asked

[No, however for someone like you, it helps you focus, which means an easier and shorter time to break through.]

"Okay then, let's do that"

[Madam Fadila is home] Nous suddenly announced

"How's my car?" David asked almost instantaneously

[Its fine sir, however you should start looking into getting her a car of her own] Nous said "I'll think about it"

Due to the distance between his home and the location of the company's building, it made sense that Fadils would need a car of her own.

Something that would allow her to go back and forth between the two places, but for some reason, he didn't want to buy it.

It's not that he didn't trust her, he did. However, this was his money they were talking about; it was something he held dear even before he actually had it.

The entire Editor stuff was too big to actually be held as dear as money. It was a title and a state of being not something he could say that he actually owned but his money was actually his.

[Sir no matter what thoughts you have of the situation, you will end up buying a new car for her or you simply give her yours since you never actually leave here] Nous commented

"You don't need to tell me, it's just the Igbo man in me that refuses" David replied

He stood up and turned towards the house. He had no more use of being here; he had figured out the secret to Tier One and could quite literally break through anything he wanted.

Thinking that. David smiled as he walked happily into the house. As soon as he did so, he saw Fadila lying on the couch in the living room.

"Ah, you're back...." David said it as though he didn't know, but soon closed his mouth as the excitement died.

Fadila could be seen on the couch, still with her clothes still on but already fast asleep.

....

Unknown city

A middle-aged man could be seen standing at the edge of a tall building. The man wore a simple suit with a coat over it to mitigate the coat.

"Why don't you move a bit further, i believe the view is better there" a voice said from behind him

"Ah, Stroy never thought you would come" The man said as he turned to look at the newcomer behind him.

The newcomer could be seen wearing almost similar clothing; however, he wore a black suit. In his hand was a cane which he used to support himself as he walked.

"You did say that it was necessary" the newcomer, Stroy said

"That is indeed true, i come with blessed news"

"The last time you told me that, Japan nearly ceased to exist" Stroy replied in an emotionless tone

"Not this time, this will favour both of us" The man said as a devilish grin appeared on his face.

Despite their clear showing of familiarity, their stance and the distance between them suggested otherwise. Stroy stood and watched the man as he considered his options

"Go ahead, i'm listening" Stroy finally said after a brief moment of thinking

"I knew you'd come around... You all can leave." The man suddenly spoke as his expression changed, turning the whole atmosphere into a serious one.

Silence reigned as the two stared at each other, both sides considering their options if things didn't go well.

*Sighs*

"You can leave," Stroy said

As soon as his voice fell, it was as though some sort of veil was lifted from the surface of the earth as several men in black suits appeared out of thin air. Each one could be seen holding one weapon or the other; however, all weapons were pointed at the man.

"As you wish, sire" one of them said before they all vanished

"Ever so vigilant, huh?... I don't remember when I last saw a strigoi" the man said

"Lycoan, go straight to the point, I do not have all day" Stroy said impatient.

"What?, I thought we were getting to know each other better"

"Lycoan, if you do not have any important information then let me leave"

"You can leave but you will come to regret it" Lycoan said

"then tell me what it is?"

"It's come back to Earth" Lycoan said with a joyous smile on his face

"Huh?"

"It is back and Earth"

"What exactly are you talking about?"

"The title dumbass. Four hundred thousand years ago we were forced to become servants to

these meatbags but now things will change" Lycoan said

"The Editor?" Stroy asked as realization dawned on him.

"Now you're talking, he's back and guess what?"

"Lycoan we are not friends nor do I understand your ways of thinking, speak now or forever

hold your piece" Stroy siad in frustration.

He was getting tired of the overly friendly act, no matter how things looked. He was busy and dealing with an old dog wasn't on the list of things he had to do.

"He is but a human child, we can train him in our ways and bring ourselves to the top as we

were meant to be" Lycoan said.

"Below Stone realm?" Stroy asked

"If there is anything we know, it's how difficult it is for humanity to break the first barrier, we

can convert him and make him ours"

Listening to the old dog before him, a similar smile began to appear on Stroy's face. He

understood what Lucian was implying and just like the old dog, he wanted it just as badly.

"It seems it's finally time for our kind to see the sun" Stroy said with a toothy grin that displayed the sharp fang-like canines underneath.

All around the world, several meetings similar to this one too place. People with hidden agendas rose up with different aims to achieve.

However the cause of it all could be seen happily sleeping David saw no use to forcing a break

through, at night.

It was best to attempt such a life altering thing in the morning with a rested mind and body.

....

The next day, Fadila left to continue recruiting. Though her presence wasn't truly required or needed for the interviews itself to proceed.

She believed that it was better that way after all, without any human presence. The entire process will feel off and people would think its just a scam.

Meanwhile David could be seen happily going through his morning routine. He brushed his

teeth, took his bath and all with a giant smile on his face.

It was clear that he was happier than ever. However before he began, David entered the kitchen and immediately began to prepare as much food as possible.

It was common sense that after his break through, he would require much nutrients to replace

the energy spent. If after a normal session, he would normally be left famished then it made sense that this result this time could possibly kill him.

"Okay then that's the last of it. Most are burnt but who cares" David announced to himself as he placed the last plate of food on the table.

After that, David prepared a makeshift outdoor bath. He had read too many xianxia novels to know that after one's first break through, there will be a lot of impurities coming out of him.

Of course, like most of the world, he had absolutely no idea what said impruties were but it

was commonly known to be black and smelled like sewage. He didn't plan to carry that into

his home.

Who knew if it also carried acidic properties. With all his preparations done, David finally began his training and unlike before, he felt heavenly
