Cosmic Ruler

Chapter 36 Shock

After gathering all of the rewards, Jake logged out.

Following removing the gear, he headed to the restroom.

After washing up, Jake decided to summon Liliac Morto Vivo. As he extended his right hand, a purple magic circle materialized on the back of it, its intricate patterns glowing with arcane energy. The circle expanded gradually, creating a portal-like effect.

From within the expanding magic circle emerged Liliac Morto Vivo, stepping gracefully into the real world.

'Cute' Jake thought, looking at the child size skeleton.

"Jake, What was that?" Suddenly Tom barged in and asked worriedly.

"Eh??, What a cute Skelly, Anyway, I sensed a powerful presence just now, What was that?" Tom looked at the small Skeleton and then asked Jake worriedly.

"It might been due to portal from where Liliac appeared" Jake said pointing at the little skeleton.

"This small thing?" Tom looked at the small skeleton carefully.

Liliac crossed her skeletal arms, and an unexpected fiery determination sparked in her spectral eyes. "Who are you looking at, imbecile?" she retorted, her small stature though dampening her commanding presence.

Tom, Jake, and Mark, who also came with Tom collectively responded, "Cute."

Liliac, frustrated by the comments on her appearance, exclaimed, "This cursed body!!"

And yet again

Tom: "Cute"

Jake : "Cute"

Mark : "Cute"

Liliac : "This damm body!!".

Jake chuckled and then told them about her, except She is a Monarch, She just told them he got her after completing a Trial, along with other benefits.

"You really have Diamond Village order Now?" Mark asked.

""yes, not only that but 10 Platinum too" Jake smiled and said.

"Are we playing the same game even?" Mark muttered.

"Ehh?, did you say anything?" Jake asked.

"Nothing" Mark shook his head and then asked " So you will build a Village using the Diamond order?"

"Yes and NO, My two avatars are linked to me, and If I use them to use the Diamond order, It will definitely attract unwanted and Deadly attention" Jake shook his head and said.

"So How will use it?" Mark nodded and then asked.

"Liliac has, one more treasure, that allows one to get a Third Avatar, I will be using that" Jake replied while showing him the detail of the said Treaure.

[Artifact : New Life

"hmm, This is good, this way, you won't have to worry about anything," Mark nodded and said.

"Hmm, I wonder what are the benefits of Diamond class order" Mark said.

"What are other orders, effect anyway?" Jake asked.

"You really didn't read the manual" Mark sighed and then showed him the details.

"As you can see, there are great benefits just for the Platinum Order, I can't even imagine, what kind of benefit Diamond order has" he remarked.

Jake nodded, thinking, 'This is like a kingdom building game from my former life, interesting'.

"Let's meet inside, and I'll send you the Platinum Order," Jake remarked, preparing to dive back in after eating.

"Don't play too much today; we'll get to Academy City in the evening, and the Selection Test will be the next day," Mark reminded Jake as he rose up.

"Hmm, then I'll just create my third avatar and set up a village for the time being," Jake replied, nodding.

Mark nodded and went back.

"I wonder what Emily and Jimmy are doing?" Jake grumbled as he prepared to plunge back in.

Wearing the Soul Gear 5 He logged back in .

{Welcome Back , User Dusk}

{......}

{Detected Special Artifact - New Life, Would you like to use it?}

"Hmm, This is different, well ,Yes" Jake mumbled and then replied.

{Acknowledged....Creating...Third Avatar creation Complete}

"Ehh? But I didn't even choose anything" Jake said.

{Special Artifact have their own character setting}

"No wonder" Jake nodded.

And then the white space changed and Jake found himself standing at the Center of the forest.

"Status" Jake checked his status to take a look at his new Avatar as his hands looked like those of skeleton.

With Status screen opened Jake first checked out the image of his Avatar and saw a Frail Skeleton, wearing Tattered Robe.

"Huh? Seriously" Jake mumbled and noticed no sound came out, he looked at his hands, or bony hand and sighed 'Now I am a skeleton" and proceeded to check out rest of the status.

"umm, what is this?" Jake asked

[As the name suggest-New Life]

"haah, But it wasn't written there?" Jake asked

[It was written-Creating a different avatar, from original Two, and those two avatars, also reflect your original body abilities]

"What a word play" Jake muttered.

Jake then summoned Liliac.

"Hmm, you used it, now use the Diamond Order" She said the moment she appeared.

Jake nodded and then brought out the Diamond Order

{Will you use the Diamond Village Order?}

Jake replied Yes and then the order broke and then a portal appeared in front of Jake, stepping inside Jake found himself in a wooden house.

"This is?" Jake asked.

"Leader House" Liliac replied.

Jake then proceeded to step outside of the house.

Coming out he saw some buildings and a light Dome covering around 10km of the area near his house.

Jake then inspected each of the building

{Hero's Altar :

Random Summon : 0/2

Legendary Summon : 0/2

Daily Common Summon : 0/10}

"Diamond benefits, I guess" Jake then checked other buildings which were, Ware house, Trading House, Royal House, Crafter House and lastly Death Knight's Training Hall.

"Hmm, this Death Knight's training hall is probably Random Special building" Jake muttered and then opened the Village interface.

Villagers : None

Heroes : None

Special Building : Death Knight's Hall

"Hmm, Sky Island" Jake asked

"Another benefit of Monarch's Inheritors, but still there are already 9 inheritors" Liliac said.

"Hmm, that's why I got Number 10 Island" Jake nodded and then said " Also I will directly obtain a class, No need for Trial like in Platinum Grade"

"Inheritors became a Inheritor after passing Trials, what's need of another Trial then?" Liliac remarked.

"Hmm, That's True" Jake nodded and then logged out.

Logging out , he summoned Liliac, " Why did you Log out suddenly?" She asked.

"Tomorrow is Academy Entrance test, I am going to rest and meditate for tomorrow, gotta be prepared for it" Jake replied.

"Is it necessary? You are already strong enough, this little test means nothing to you, Right?" Liliac shook her head and asked.

"I am strong, no doubt, but still that doesn't mean I am Omnipotent, you never know what might happen, therefore you should always be prepared" Jake smiled and said.

"I am going to grab something to eat , wanna come?" Jake asked.

"no, " Liliac replied and then Jake nodded and left the room.

Liliac standing there thought 'To think I will be taught by an youngster,' She smiled and then thought with a sad smile 'Maybe If I had that mentality, none of you would have died'.
