Omni-Mastery 223 Communication & Map

"The numbers of us player is just too little compared to the huge number of original game natives, so it's easy to let your guard down, but you really have to be careful…"

"So…"

"No need to worry, we are both lucky to have met each other as you don't seem to be the malicious time, neither do I, in fact we could use this chance to bring benefit to both of us, hey Long…"

Long appeared in my shoulder as he deactivated his 'Illusion', looking at Jean with deep interest...

"Hmmm, is that you, Six?"

A tiny sparrow suddenly showed its face out of Jean's sleeve as it looked a bit excited yet surprised.

"Oh! It's you Zero!"

"How have you been old friend…"

'Is it a nostalgic persona this time…?'

"Eh? Yellow, you know them?"

"Ah, yes, all AI were created at the same time so we can still recognize each other… but, Zero, you showing yourself, does that mean…"

"Yes, the user on my side plans to establish a connection with yours, of course that is if he is willing to."

"Connection?"

"It's something like a chat server that will be set between us, which we can use to contact each other through regardless of the distance."

"... you mean the 'Limited Communication System'?"

"Yes."

"..."

"I know you are still somewhat shocked about what happened lately, but you need to remember that this isn't pour reality, you can use it to cure your wounds but you can't get addicted to it, you will only fall deeper if you continue with that mindset…"

"I just don't know what to do now, I barely came to accept life in this game due to the support of the natives around me, but everything suddenly turned out to be lies, I just feel kind of lost now…"

Jean seemed to be quite the naive guy yet he was just being honest, in fact that was the greatest point about him that made me reveal myself to him that fast.

"I know how you feel, that's why I'm proposing this, as you may have noticed I'm quite close to both the Lightning Knight Brigade head and the Lightning Emperor, you can take your time till you finally get a hold of yourself, meanwhile I will make sure you will have an easy life within the Empire…"

"And?"

"You will just have to my eyes and ears here in the Light Domain, and possibly my messenger as well, which would barely pose any difficulty to you, in exchange once you finally decided to you are ready, the Empire will nurture you as one of its seeds."

"..."

"You can take-"

"No, I have decided… I accept your offer."

"Let's start then, old friend."

"Alright Zero bro."

'Does that bird suffer from the same syndrome…?'

[ 'Communication System (Player to Player)' has been activated. ]

[ Player #000 is now connected with Player #006. ]

Having finally realized my information channel in the Light Domain, I was no longer hesitant about leaving, I believed that Jean would recover very soon, and making use of his benefit he was sure to rise as a powerful helper for the Empire, and with the mysterious Ellona who seemed to have more than what she displays, and the already powerful 3rd stage powerhouses of the Empire, especially uncle Blue and head Klay, the Lightning Empire was more likely to survive even a similar disaster to the evil dragon's attack…

With that out of my mind, I was finally able to concentrate on making further preparations for my leave, starting with making use of my relation with the Emperor to double my food reserve, I thought of also collecting special swords using the same method for 'Lightning Cloud' but eventually decided against it…

After all, my current main interest was to develop its 'Elemental Constitution' skill, so instead of adding auxiliary special ranked skills without thinking about the possible limits of its absorption of swords since there were limited types that could be exploited, the treasury of the Lightning Empire was indeed full of wealth but it wasn't to the point of having spare elemental conducting weapons which were only made as personal weapons…

I did double my normal weapon reserve on the other hand, and finally returned back to the Imperial Library to fill the holes on my information about the general map of the 'Lost Realm'.

This time it took me a few days to finally resist the urge of reading more to leave the library after having done more that I wanted, but it wasn't bad to have more information anyway.

It turned out that the 'Lost Realm was a huge space filled with fragmented hemispheres that floated in fixed locations, which are referred to as 'Domains'.

The number of 'Domains' would be considered quite vast if it was defined to its truest sense, but in fact people only recognized 5 major domains that deserved to be called as true 'Domains'.

The Light Domain, The Nature Domain, the Fiery Domain, The Icy Domain, and finally the Dark Domain.

Every Domain had its own main element, so although all kinds of elements and attributes existed in every domain, in places like the Light Domain, light element and its closely related elements like lightning and shadow would be the most powerful ones and have a natural buff to their abilities.

The notif which I received the very first day I entered the 'Lost Realm' about choosing which domain to go to finally made sense as it was an obvious way to boost our own attributes, considering Jean was also sent here.

Of course that didn't mean that other domains would suppress my lightning element anyway, it would only give a bit of an edge for an elemental master that uses it main element over elemental masters of other elements at the same stage which was why Light, Lightning and Shadow elemental masters were revered in the light domain for…
