Versatile: Alternate World Chapter 166
Advertisement
The Inn became bustling after I left for Sandurk after Lina work hard to maintain many aspects of the business to make it a bit more successful but I guess she managed to use the knowledge I gave her before I left and used it to get the store's condition improved.
Since I have no work for Lina just yet, I didn't disturb her since she is still working. We just talk for a bit and decided to leave after our reunion. We will meet again if I needed her help later on.
First, I have to go back to my mansion. I entrusted my mansion to the siblings and they report to me occasionally about the happenings in my mansion and the surrounding area. Thankfully, it seems everything is fine and dandy. In fact, the darkness that seems to linger around the mansion has lessened quite a lot that I can barely notice if I didn't try to look for it.
When I arrived, I noticed the two people currently sweeping the courtyard of the mansion. This time, I didn't need to ask who these two are. Even just by looking at their in-game avatar, I can already tell that they are the mercenary siblings. Their faces are identical to their face configuration in the past timeline. The only different thing from them is their clothes and items they are currently wearing. Since it is still in the early game, their iconic looks that made them famous in the past timeline are still missing.
"Hey, guys. Looks like you two are cleaning up diligently."
The two who have not seen my in-game avatar yet immediately sprang up and take arms.
"Who are you?! What are you doing here!?" Akira asked while using the broom as his weapon. Sora is also using her broom but it was like she was going to use it as a staff, not a weapon to bonk other people.
"Chill guys, it is me," I said and pull out my wolf head mask. Since I didn't alter my face, there is no way they won't recognize me.
"AH!" Akira dropped the broom the moment he saw my face. Sora who has not seen my face yet her entire life was confused about why her brother suddenly dropped his broom.
"Brother Manato! You are finally here!" Akira immediately heads towards me with an excited look on his mature face in the game.

"Brother Manato?!" Sora who just realized who I was, also dropped her broom and headed towards me.
"Why you didn't say anything that you would already be back home? We would have prepared something for your arrival," Akira said.
"Haha, no worries. This is my mansion and you guys don't need to do that just so you can welcome me. Taking care of the mansion while I'm gone is already enough. You guys even cleared up some of the dark remnants of the undead in this area too."
"Yeah, we did. It was a good hunt since some areas around the mansion still have those lairs of undead that spawns undead monsters. We used some of our gold to buy materials to make a small entrance in these lairs so that we can use them as a place we can farm things since they drop some [Dark Essence], [Bone of Darkness], and a few others that can be used to craft Dark Mist Bombs!" Sora said.
"You guys already got the recipe to create Dark Mist Bomb?" I asked. The recipe is one of the most sought recipes by some players since they can create Dark Mist Bomb which is a consumable item that once used against an enemy with Light Attribute, can create a weakening and poisoning effect on them. If used against a neutral element or any element that is not associated with the light element, they will get a debuff [Curse(Minor)] which lasts for 30 seconds.
"Yeah. We got lucky when it dropped from a Skeleton General that spawned in one of the lairs. We used your crafting table inside the mansion to create the bombs and used them on the Wisps dungeon. They were pretty effective and we managed to clear it in just a few minutes after entering. From what I remember, we were the record holder of the fastest clear of the Wisp Dungeon," Akira explained.
"You guys are really good at this. Since you guys are always trying to clear some dungeons, how about you guys come with me later? I will be taking care of the dungeons and try to clear them and get their fastest clears too. What do you guys think?"
"Of course we would be accepting that! Having an extra hand to help us in dungeon clearing will also help us gain more levels!" Sora said and was very excited by this notion.

"What are your levels by the way? We can find some dungeons that suited your levels and we can all enter there without being barred by the level restriction."
"I am level 80 while my brother is level 79," Sora answered.
Their levels are very high and I was not expecting them to get to that level in just a few weeks of playing. But I can understand why they are not barred by the extra EXP needed to level like the Versatile Class. They only have the neutral exp gain so even if I farm experience in the same level as them and started similarly with them even in solo, they will win in the race since they will level up first compared to me who has that penalty of the extra amount of EXP needed to level up. They also played almost the whole day, every day that makes their exp levels very high is understandable.
"So around Level 80 then. If Akira is about to level up, I have a dungeon in mind that will allow Akira to level up to 80 after clearing it. Are you guys up for that?"
"Of course! By the way, Brother. We didn't use our names as our in-game names so please use them while we are inside the game. Is that alright?" Akira asked.
"That is alright. It is natural we use our in-game names to call each other while we are here in the game. It helps us hide our real identities in real life. You guys should also call me by my in-game name too which is Bladeheart. Don't call me brother while we are in the game. We are all comrades in arms here."
"Hehe, alright Bladeheart, nice to meet you! We will introduce ourselves! I am Iron and this is Topaz, my little sister. We are glad to be working with you!"
"Iron and Topaz?" I didn't expect them to use those names since they are no longer using their previous names in the past timeline. But that didn't matter much. If they didn't use those names, then let's forget about those names and use their current ones.
"I call myself Iron because I wanted to be as hard as an Iron that will allow me to defend my sister against anything. As for my sister, she used Topaz as her name since she was born in November and since Topaz was the associated birthstone in November, that is what she calls herself," Akira explained which I will now call Iron. I will also call Sora as Topaz too.
"Oh, that is fine. I will be counting on you two. Since we will be working out together, this is my first gift to you guys," I said before pulling out the scrolls I made back in the Sandurk Continent.
I didn't get to use the scrolls during the battle since that was the last resort item I wanted to use if the players during the subjugation are all bad at fighting the enemy. Thankfully, I never got to use it because everyone in the raid is all good players that I didn't need to forcefully use them.
"Aren't these things that are sold in the auction with a hefty amount of price for one single paper?!" Topaz couldn't believe her eyes on what she was seeing.
"You mean those 2,000,000 million gold as the starting bet? Are you kidding?! How come you have so many of these Bladeheart?" Iron asked with the incredulity on his face shown.
"Yep, that is the one. The reason why they are so expensive is that the recipe to make them is not yet available to the players and it is one of the useful things you can use during a fight especially if you run out of mana to cast spells. Even players who are not using magic skills can use them if they have these scrolls. You guys won't go wrong with this."
"And you are giving us these for free?! Isn't this pretty expensive? You can sell this at a very hefty price and you will never get hungry again!" Iron exclaimed.
"You guys can do whatever you want with those. However, I won't be trying to hold them right now. Since Sandurk's borders have finally been open to everyone, this thing will become a common thing in the future too. However, this will still fetch quite a good price so if you guys wanted to sell this, you will earn quite a hefty amount too. However, I want you guys to use them, we will need them in this specific dungeon to clear it as fast as possible."

Techno-Heretic
Eli is an ancient man sentenced to death for the crime of surpassing the sacred number of 32.8, which is the allowed percentage of increased mental ability from the use of AI chips. As he journeys through death and into a world of fantasy and magic, he finds himself approaching never before seen heights of magical power and ability. Powers that will shape the world and would see him go down in legends for generations ever after. But just because someone acquires magical abilities, that doesn't mean magic is suddenly the most important thing in their life. Some people aren't looking to be all-powerful gods, have the world bow at their feet, or spend their days obsessing over accumulating ever more power. Some people just want acceptance, stability, and the warmth of their loved ones to drive away the cold loneliness of the night. And in a world where magic is the bedrock of society, where magic is what determines who is preferred for siring children, where people with high magical ability are destined to live in great luxury and those without magic simply live to make due, this difference in values and perspective could not have a starker contrast. As Eli and the people around him navigate the misconceptions and deceptions of this world, he will represent a great and magnificent future for the human race. One where humanity will stand above the elves, dwarves, orcs, fairies, and all the horrors of the world. Sadly, men's tools are as fallible as the people who make them, and in a society where the potential of an individual is determined solely through their magical level, this seed of promise may yet turn venomous.
