The Mysterious Black Magician Chapter 322
Advertisement
Yman noticed the change in Keremi's countenance. The benign smile he usually has could not be found anymore.
"Are you familiar with the name ARENHU?" He suddenly asked him, which made Yman's eyes shake and widen the second upon hearing it.
It seemed as though there was a lapse in time the moment Keremi mentioned it. Yman blinks his eyes twice, seemingly absorbing what he just heard. Did he hear it right? Did Keremi just mention that forsaken word?
Out of the blue, "What did you say?!" Yman threw his own question in a slightly raised voice. His voice had a tinge of surprise. However, instead of a reply, he noticed a frown from Keremi.
The atmosphere between them turned serious suddenly after Keremi mentioned the word, wafting the calm and relaxed ambiance inside the room.
"ARENHU…" After Keremi repeated the word, there was an awkward silence visiting the two.
After a slight pause, Yman finally opened his mouth, "Could it be… you are one of them?" he threw another question again. But this time, his voice was not his usual calm voice. It was tense and threatening.
Even Keremi could feel the pressure from it. This surprised him. His close eyes even made noticeable movements. He had no clue how far Yman had improved after he disappeared for a month in the academy. But the person in front of him now was very different from the person last month.
Keremi suddenly came into a deep pondering. He was puzzled by Yman's sudden increase in power.
Yman knitted his brows. How can he forget that name? ARENHU… The ARENHU Facility where he was raised and became a lab rat for many years. Yman thought with a hidden frustration.
Could it be Keremi was one of them? Dammit! So they already knew where he was? Yman subconsciously balled his fists that were resting on his thighs under the table.

Noticing the threatening aura from Yman, Keremi raised his head, "It's not what you think, my prince," he said while raising both his hands in front of him.
Gesturing a surrender stance. Yman stared at him with narrowed eyes. "What do you mean?"
Keremi's corner of his mouth extended to both sides. He thought that this conversation would never advance if they kept asking each other.
"The truth is…" Keremi said as he slowly opened his eyes.
When Yman saw it, his eyes widened as he was looking at Keremi.
When Keremi completely opened his eyes, it seemed the world stopped at them.
Yman was stunned for a couple of seconds before he was able to summon his voice again.
'No wonder…' What he meant was, No wonder Keremi could see even though he was closing his eyes. He already suspected his eyes. But just now that his suspicion got proven right. They really aren't ordinary eyes.
"Are you one of the enhanced?" He asked.
He noticed a slight nod from Keremi.
ARENHU, or Artificial Enhanced Human. Based on the name alone, everyone could probably guess what kind of facility it was.
After that, Keremi told him everything.
Yman came back with loads of thoughts in his mind. It was still hard for him to believe all that Keremi told him. No, it was unbelievable. But it also makes sense.
Yman stopped in the girls' room, where his sister and Rea were probably sleeping.
It was already about 10 pm. It was a time in which most people were probably in deep slumber. He wanted to check them. But Yman realized that it was inappropriate to intrude in a girl's room this time of night.
He closed his eyes and increased his perception, he could sense two familiar presence breathing soundlessly. He breathed a sigh of relief.

After hearing Keremi's words, he was bugged by something. Even though his scout fire dolls were guarding the whole house, Yman was still attacked by anxiety.
He turned around and pushed the door opposite from theirs. His room was just in front of the girl's room.
Unbeknown to Yman, when he left, Rea opened her eyes. She sighed in relief. She could not sleep for some reason. It wasn't like she was scared of something. It's just hard to describe her feelings at the moment. Regardless, she felt relieved when he came back, finally. She wanted to come with him, but that guy refused her. He said he was meeting a male friend.
However, it was rather suspicious!
This thought lingered in Rea's mind and prevented her from sleeping. In Rea's mind... C-could it be he was cheating on her?! How despicable! Wait, they were not even in a relationship!
On the other hand, Yman laid his back on the bed after changing his clothes. "I have to get a lot stronger," he muttered while he was gazing at the ceiling. However, his mind was beyond it.
Before he left, he made sure the house was surrounded by enhanced fire dolls. It would not put him at ease knowing that only his sister and Rea were left here.
Sistela was in hibernation mode when he left, so he left her in his sister's care.
Tomorrow was the 4th elimination round of the competition, so he needed Sistela to be in a good condition. Also, he had many bodyguards with him, so it wasn't a problem if he found himself in trouble. He was confident that he could escape if something was going to happen.
However, after hearing Keremi's words, Yman realized that he was so naive. He became so confident in himself. This is bad. Yman knew that he made a big error in his decision.
He needed to stop this kind of thinking. He needed to be on high alert every time. Although he had many ways to escape from his enemies, it was still better if he had extra cards up his sleeve.
Yman pondered until he fell asleep.
The next time he opened his eyes, he was greeted by the sunbeam that came through the gap in the window.
The 4th elimination round started at the same time as yesterday. There were fewer participants left. And most of the remaining participants were the stronger ones.
Most of the remaining participants were students from section A and the elite class. So most of the onlookers were looking forward to this round.
There were noticeably more onlookers today than yesterday.
The remaining participants were full of energy. Each one of them was looking forward to their match. They wanted to win. No, they must win against their opponent!
Yman also arrived right before the round started. As expected, he could not find Keremi around.
Keremi's revelation stunned him for good. Even until now, it was still hard for him to believe.
"An artificial human, huh," Yman muttered.
"Yman!" While Yman was in deep thought, he suddenly heard a familiar voice calling his name. When he glanced, he saw Almina and Maena moving towards him along with their friends.
"What?" Maena asked him when she noticed his eyes were on her. She also noticed the look in his eyes looked different from before.

Epoch: An NPC's Tale
Epoch is a slow-burn LitRPG/Gamelit novel that tells the story of Luke, later named Lucius—a natural inhabitant of the game-like realm of Elyssia where thousands upon thousands of detached, virtually unkillable entities known as the Players were suddenly introduced right after the dusk of the magnificent Age of Heroes. Shortly after the Players arrived, the balance of power in Elyssia instantly shifted. Kingdoms fell, wars were waged, alliances between races were made, and Lucius, after ten years of training in captivity, found himself being used as a pawn in a prophecy that he had no intention to fulfill. With aspirations and desires of his own, Lucius must find a way to cautiously adapt to the drastic changes in the very foundations of the realm after being sent 300 years into a future that was forever altered by the outcome of the war that his captors had lost and the Players won in a victory that resounded throughout the ages, all for a terrible price. Author's Note As an avid fan of the LitRPG genre myself, I wrote this novel with character progression, heavy Gamelit elements, and some degree of world-building in mind. If you like these, please feel free to give this novel a try. Oh, and the MC is also an NPC, in a sense. And wait, isn't this also an isekai story? Well, it's all a bit complicated to explain here. Maybe you should start reading now?
