Chapter 144 [Prophecy!]
What does it mean to be the Admin of the Tutorial? It means that you hold the utmost authority of the tutorial. If there are any problems within the tutorial, you can easily fix it, and even if you wish, you can remove a couple of players and NPCs.
The singular being that no one can stand against.
Quiet ironic that 'high authority' also prevents the Admin from interfering with how the tutorial proceeds. If the end was defined to be as 'destruction of the planet' by the tower, then that's how it was going to be. Even if the admin wants to prevent the destruction or change the fate of the planet, being at such a position of the [Admin], he can't do it.
And thus…
"It's Ironic that the power that I received, the one who would let me go one step ahead into the divine realm, were also the shackles that prevented me from saving the world that I was born in," the dragon king spoke with a lonely expression.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"I guess so. I was wondering why the Admin didn't come to warn me or anything. Or to be honest, I thought I would go unnoticed by everyone as long as I don't do anything abnormal," I spoke my thoughts to him. I guess, I was on his mark from the moment I entered into this world. The only reason he didn't bother coming to me or removing me from the scenario was because he wanted to observe me.
'Though I doubt he would be able to,' I thought as I somewhat understood that the powers of [The Game Master System] were far above the Admins or the players. As for how high it was, I didn't know.
"You were easy to notice since I was looking at every aspect of the players in this world. As soon as you came in contact with those players, I understood that you were far different from everyone on this planet. And when I traced back your energy signatures, they came from above, far above in the sky. So I had an inkling that you might be someone from another world," He chuckled at my honesty before adding,
Stay connected with empire
"Especially the magic that you used to defeat those foes. That is surely not from this world."
An awkward smile appeared on my face. I guess, I didn't take a lot of factors into account. Even though I didn't really care about them given my own skill set, I still think it was a bad idea to ignore those aspects.
A silence ensued as the dragon king stopped speaking. We both looked at the empty lake in front of us, before we began walking across the edge of the lake. We both put our hands behind our back as we walked one step at a time. And then the dragon king asked,
"Would you like to hear a story from me?"
"Sure," I answered.
"It's not directly related but there was a guy named Avarius. A fire dragon that loved adventuring. He soared the skies, freely flew as high as he could, without any fears of any sort. Back then, dragons dominated this world and there were many, black dragons, wind dragons, fire dragons, as many as you can name."
"But you see, the reproductive capabilities of the dragons were low. Far lower than any species. Perhaps it was due to our strong structure or perhaps our long lives? Well, in anycase, as time passed the dragons dwindled. By the time we all noticed that, there were no female dragons left for us to reproduce."
"At those times, Avarius, he used to talk about another world. A place where he enters during his dreams. A place which allows him to use his powers freely as much as he could. We used to think that he was going insane, but with all the things in front of us, I guess, he wasn't?"
"In any case, Avarius, called that place as Zarraf. And there he was known as the King of Dragons, the Fate Weaver of Absolute, the 3rd Fate Weaver. He said that he had lived at least twice as he lives in this world, and when he will die, he will truly be reborn there."
A Fate Weaver? Weren't they…
"Now why am I telling you all this? Well that's because of two reasons. One was that he told me about a prophecy. It goes something like this," he looked at me as he narrated,
"A man from another world. A blind wanderer will come to save you. He will change the fate of the world, and bring you to the world of Zarraf. He can see what others can't, and knows what nobody does. So guide him when he asks you to, and he will guide you when he will need to."
A cold chill ran down my spine. The prophecy was about me, wasn't it? The heck… It wasn't a random encounter on a random planet?
I felt like I was about to get pulled into some random main character shit. Nope. I am getting out of here.
"And the second reason was the fact that, about a month ago, another wanderer appeared in this world. He looked rather shady, but somehow dependable. He told me about your visit, or to be honest he said and I quote, 'That guy, the one who loves to get involved with other people's wives, the guy from the prophecy. He will definitely come here in the next few months. When you meet him, tell him everything. Especially about the [Hidden Scenario] of this planet. He will definitely save you all.' "
"…"
"…Cough…" the dragon king coughed before continuing," anyways, when I saw you with that half elf girl who got reincarnated in the new world and came back as a player, I knew it was you."
Even though I didn't want to know, I still asked," exactly how?"
"I mean, isn't she the late wife of The God, the one who is fighting for the most authority in this world?"
"…"
I wasn't… surrounded by that many wives… Do I?
What do you think?
