《Ancient Adventurer Return》Greed is incredible
Advertisement
Since Bora still had to wait for Katarea to come back, he had decided into a place where he could be alone so that he could test his powers.
‘ So you told me that this power had no limit other than the fact that it couldn’t do anything to an unwilling target. But items don’t have minds do they ?’Asked Bora as he entered a parking lot.
‘ Well most don’t but some can have minds of their own, and those are the most powerful items. So that’s why I’m telling you this, the items you will want to possess the most will be the most difficult to get. Oh and also, if you were to copy an item that already recognized a master, the copy will still recognize you as it’s master.´ Said Aria, while Bora sat on the ground.
‘ But wait can I copy like really anything I want ? Or steal, or multiply everything ? Because if I can, then I’m pretty much invincible aren’t I ?’ Asked Bora with a wide smile on his face. Maybe getting trapped in that statue for thousand of years wasn’t all that bad in the end.
´ Well yes and no. Yes because you can indeed use your power on anyone and anything, however it’s also no because some things would be impossible for you to even control. Per example if you tried to steal the powers of another God, well you wouldn’t be able to. Because you need said god’s energy to wield them and if you stole his energy it would try to fight against your own energy and would ultimately destroy you.’ Said Aria with a grave voice. But Bora still continued to smile.
´Meh, I’m already overpowered enough. So let’s start using those powers shall we ?´ Asked Bora as he rubbed his hands.
‘ Indeed Master, but do not forget that I have a limited amount of energy. We can only use it on things that are worth it, like that necklace you got. And also your coins. Given how ancient they are they can get you a lot of money. Though we should sell them to a rich foreign collector. Most collectors in Japan are not interested in stuff like this, they like artifacts more.´ Said Aria.

‘ Well the other versions of the necklace that I created with this power should fetch a huge price on their own. I should maybe sell them to Magicians since they are Magical Shields.’ Though Bora tilting his head as he glance at his necklace.
´ You should definitely find someone to help you sell those. It would be dangerous for you if you sold everything on your own, you would attract too much attention on yourself. I know you like attention, but it’s a bad one you would get by selling all those high tiers accessories, especially if they are unique accessories you can only get in a dungeon that wasn’t even discovered yet.’ Said Aria.
´ Yeah, yeah I get it. So what should I do ? Do I just touch it like I did with Katarea ?´ Asked Bora.
‘ Yup, just touch it and I’ll do the rest.’ Said Aria. Bora nodded and grabbed his necklace. His eyes widened when he saw the purple energy getting out of his arm like it was smoke and then entering the necklace. And then under the awestruck eyes of Bora, the purple mist began to ooze from the necklace and formed a copy of it. The energy than went back to his body and the other necklace became solid and hit the ground.
Bora picked it up, his jaw dropping as he examined it and didn’t see a single difference. It was a perfect multiplication.
‘ Hmm, so.....Since it’s multiplication, it means that if I use my power on the two necklace I should get four necklaces right ?’ Asked Bora, his voice filled with excitement. However before Aria could answer, Bora heard footsteps behind him. He got up and looked behind him, only to see a surprised Katarea who was staring at the second necklace in his hand. She then kneeled in front of him, which greatly surprised Bora.

« You are truly incredibly my Lord. To use your power so easily just after your reincarnation, you are really the most magnificient god of all. » Said Katarea. Hearing this, Bora began to panic.
‘ What am I gonna do ? She’s never gonna believe us now, she look like a goddamn fanatic.’ Though Bora.
‘ Master do not panic, for now just ignore that. She should’ve returned with the money so go and book a hotel room in a cheap hotel.´ Said Aria. Bora sighed and then nodded. He asked Katarea for the money and when he got it, he began to search for a cheap hotel.
Asking the passerbys, Bora couldn’t get an answer out of them. They either got scared when they saw Katarea, or they immediately fled when they saw the necklace he had.
‘ Why do people get scared of us so easily ?!’ Asked Bora.
‘ Katarea is a Djinn, and they are not very common in Japan. Your necklace is clearly a really high tier accessory so people get scared of you. Normal citizens usually don’t get mixed up with the ones with powers. Try to ask someone who has atleast a little bit of mana. Katarea should be able to locate one.’ Said Aria.
« Katarea, find someone who has atleast a little bit of mana. » Said Bora and Katarea nodded. Ignoring the pleasure he felt at being able to command someone so powerful, Bora waited for Katarea to spot someone. And she did quite easily. A bulky man, a mountain of muscles, dressed in a plain white shirt and black pants. He had nothing on him that could prove he was a magician, a hunter, a knight or whatever he was.
« Him Master. He is around the Tier 6 I think. » Said Katarea. Bora nodded and then stepped in front of the man, who looked stunned for a second. The man was about to insult Bora but when he saw Katarea he immediately smiled.
« Haha, what can I do for you little man ? » Asked the giant.
« Well me and my friend wanted to know where we could find a cheap hotel. » Said Bora not looking intimidated at all by the Giant man, which seemed to please the man. Before the man even answered, Katarea stepped in front of him too and stared at him. As if they had a mental discussion, they both went for a hand shake. The giant of man used his entire strengh to pressure Katarea but she countered with her own strengh. They glared at each other for a few seconds before Yama removed his hand and smiled.
« There is a cheap hotel down the road. You can find it easily the name’s is in english. I think it’s called the Sunshine or something like that. I’m Yama by the way, Chimamire Yama, the Vice President of the Hunter’s Guild of Japan. Nice to meet you. » Said Yama.
« I’m Bora and my friend here is Katarea. It was a pleasure to meet you Yama. » Said Bora as he and Katarea walked in the direction of the hotel. Yama stared at his hand before chuckling and continuing on his way.
‘ Master.’ Said Aria as Bora and Katarea arrived in front of the hotel.
‘ Yeah what is it ?’ Asked Bora.
´ It’s time for me to talk to Katarea.’

I had the same nightmare again. The loss of my first life continues to haunt me, but now it aches like an old wound. A more grievous injury to my psyche was the losses yet to come and the inevitable hellscape I would return to again and again. Reincarnation is my curse. The lives themselves weren't all that bad. Losing people you cared about hurt and all, but even that pain was preferable to experiencing the nothingness between lives for months at a time. It was enough to drive anyone mad. Now I have to focus on breaking this horrible cycle. Thankfully I have all the time in the world. Trace is an average man driven by extraordinary circumstances in an indifferent and cruel world. His reincarnations give him a few key advantages but also take a heavy toll on him. He lives in a world where magic is uncommon and underpowered compared to the limitless physical adaptations you can acquire by getting your hands a little bloody. This story is one of hardship and terrible lows, but also monumental achievements and grand heights. The main character has flaws. While some of these flaws will fade with time, others will worsen. Thank you for taking the time to read my synopsis. I plan to release 2-3 chapters a week. Cover art is 'The Siege and Destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans Under the Command of Titus, A.D. 70' by David Roberts.This art is in the public domain.
