Chapter 8: Mystery of teleportation[2]
"Did you go to e*dmy?"
"No, jsghi but it nwmr feditly-"
"Ksjiirj fpkzai for which I z#**"
"This jss tjkrmt but dont worrry xkz will kdn dbt anfbuy scymfrom wonf c#"
This is what their conversation is sounding to me right now.
I can clearly hear their voices, but as they are seated in front of me, I am unable to comprehend their words.
Despite this, their tone of questioning, exclaiming and expressing emotions is evident.
Understandably, it\'s difficult to fully comprehend the conversation. The train I\'m on now emits a slight, distinct noise as it moves, likely due to its outdated design, which contrasts with my previous world.
However, despite it being considered old-fashioned by me, here, it\'s actually quite modern for this world - an electric train capable of reaching speeds of up to 300 km/h. It\'s a stark contrast to the Hydrozen fuel cell trains which runs on magnetic levitation tech in my own world, yet compared to what I\'m used to, it still feels relatively out-dated.
Despite my efforts to eavesdrop on their conversation, I was unable to comprehend what they were saying due to the cacophony and commotion resonating throughout the train.
Although generally frowned upon, I felt justified in attempting to eavesdrop on the conversation between these two individuals.
After all, they were significant figures in this world, second only to the protagonist himself.
"I wish I could hear them properly," I blurted out in frustration.
Nano interjected with a solution, [That can be done.]
Surprised and intrigued, I asked, "How?"
Nano explained, [With the advanced nano technology of the 23rd century, as a Nanite, I have the ability to enhance the hearing and other senses of the user.]
I nodded in understanding and agreement.
[Affirmative. Improving auditory input abilities]Nano confirmed.
All of a sudden, every sound in the train became audible to me - from the faintest breaths of the passengers to the clinking of chains.
The sensory overload was overwhelming and I found it impossible to concentrate on any one thing.
[Adjusting...]
[Task completed]
Nano confirmed that the task of adjusting audio was complete.
As a result, I could solely concentrate on Aurora and Aoi\'s discussion, and all other distractions in the train were filtered out.
"Soft as always." Aurora giggled and played with Takahasi\'s cheeks.
"Stop," he replied in an irritated manner. It appeared as though he despised it when Aurora acted like that, but I knew better that he actually enjoyed it.
Being the author of the novel, I had quite a comprehension of the characters.
After sometimes, Aurora fidgeted in her seat, stealing glances at Takahasi who was sitting next to her. "So, what\'s new? We agreed to go to the arcade today, right?" she asked, trying to sound casual.
Takahasi put down his phone and looked at Aurora. "Yes, we did. I\'m looking forward to it," he replied in his usual calm voice.
Aurora, intrigued by his sudden agreement, couldn\'t help but ask, "Hey, what brought on this change of heart? You usually shoot down all my ideas."
Aoi chuckled softly. "Well...today is different"
Before She could ask further he continued ,"My parents know about my fierce personality and, as a result, they usually do not allow me to venture near the outskirts of the city."
It\'s apparent that the reason for this restriction is due to his desire to fight monsters, which puts him in danger and leads to him doing foolish things.
He continued "When I\'m with you, they trust that you\'ll stop me from doing anything dangerous. We\'ve known each other since childhood, so it\'s kind of funny to think that as the stronger one, I should have been the one looking after you."
Aurora narrowed her eyes, as if trying to swat away an annoying mosquito. "I\'m going to report you to Uncle Takahasi. I won\'t let you do something so foolish and dangerous," she scolded him.
"But it won\'t be dangerous if we go together," he interrupted her.
"And besides, it\'s just goblins."
I was taken aback by his naive comments. The Takahasi Aoi I knew was far too calculating to become reckless and put himself in harm\'s way.
Although goblins were considered to be rank G monsters, I had designed them to be astute and shrewd.
Even though their physical strength may not be much, they had intelligence and cunning that could rival even a rank B monster.
It would take at least three rank E individuals to handle a group of goblins because of their tactical nature and ability to outsmart their opponents.
In other novels and manhwa\'s they always show the goblin as the cannon fodder and weakest monster but while creating the world of the novel I created the world in a very realistic manner.
If a monster is slow than I gave it toxic venom which can paralyze the enemy easily.
If the monster is weak as goblins then they are going to work together like a team intelligently.
If a monster is strong I gave it tough skin for defence.
If a monster flies in the air than I gave it good eye sights.
As I pondered to myself, "Perhaps his character hasn\'t fully evolved yet,"
A pleasant voice interrupted my thoughts.
"Attention passengers, we have now arrived at Avalonia Village," the human announcer declared through the intercom.
Unexpectedly, a grin formed on my face as I realized this was a departure from the usual mechanical voice I was used to hearing.
After briefly glancing at the two, I eventually went my separate way.
The Avalonia Forest is located on the outskirts of Avalonia Village.
Due to its tall trees that constantly cast shadows on the ground, it is also known as the Dark Forest.
Avalonia is situated on the outskirts of Krenada City, which is located in the central region of the human domain.
"This Earth" is 1.2 times larger than the original Earth, providing more land for human habitation.
The planet is divided into five continents, each the size of Asia, with a massive ice volcano located at the South Pole. Yes an \'Ice Volcano\'.
While these continents are populated by humans, there are also Elvish, Orcish, Rulers\', and Dwarven domains within each of them.
Currently, I am in the continent of Tressia, and the human domain is located in the center, surrounded by the kingdoms of Elves, Dwarves, Rulers, and Orcs.
Rulers are basically half human and half animals. lso known as beastmen.
There is a good relation between humans and rulers. Whereas Orc,and Elves tends to look down on humans. Orcs have good relationship with Beastmen and Elves.
Humans being at the very middle of them are mostly protected by demon invasion, and the complex relationship between all the races, creates a structure which creates peace on the planet.
Of course, one must also take into account the existence of Dragons, a powerful and mysterious race whose presence remains unknown to most.
With their immense strength and formidable abilities, even a combined effort from the Orcs, Dwarves, Rulers, and humans would likely fail in an attack against the Dragon King, Zephyr.
However, there\'s a reason why Zephyr has yet to make a move.\'The Demon King, Azaezel\'.
Azazel keeps Zephyr in check, creating a delicate standoff between the two powerful entities.
But the unsealing of the Demon God will soon mark the commencement of the 4th cataclysm.
It makes me wonder, why did I named to it as the 4th instead of the 3rd cataclysm? Strangely enough, the reason why I excluded the 1st cataclysm from my novel eludes me.
Well whatever, it does not matter.
...
"Huff..fuck.."
The terrain was rougher than I expected, making it hard to collect my breath as I went deeper inside the forest. I have to stop my bearing, as there was no path for me to directly follow.
Two hours has already past since my journey and my breathing was a bit rough.
Right now I was making my way towards the deepest region of the forest where there supposedly is a huge stone below a giant banyan tree.
That\'s where the [mystery of teleportation]resided.
The reason why no one was able to find it till now is because you have to do a ritual for it to show itself.
Banyan tree particularly grow in forest clearings. That\'s where I was headed to right now.
There is a huge forest clearing at the northern part of Dark Forest.
After some more minutes I finally saw it.
"Haaah..."Letting out a long breath I dazedly stared at the scenary presented before me.
"I expected something out of the norm but this..."
A huge towering tree stood before me. The Banyan tree.
I retrieved a knife from my bag and sliced open my palm; blood immediately began to flow out.
"Time to level up," I said.
Nano\'s robotic voice interrupted my thoughts.
[Injury detected. Initiating healing process.]
To my surprise, I watched as the tissue in my hand began to reform, like a spider spinning a web, until my wound was entirely healed, leaving only the blood.
"Remarkable," I muttered without realizing it.
I held up my left hand and began to chant in a language unknown to any human. It was a mantra I wrote in the novel for the mystery of teleportation.
My voice grew louder and...louder, as I chanted:"Om ignis Lux. Invictus Mentis!Lux et Spes!"
The words echoing off the trees and bouncing back at me.
The wind began to pick up, causing the leaves to rustle and dance around.
Suddenly, the rock beneath the banyan tree began to vibrate with \'hum\'
And then... it happened.
The large rock under the banyan tree started breaking as if glass is shattering, and a chunk of it was now hovering in the air, a few feet off the ground.
At first, I thought it might have been held up by some kind of invisible support, but as I watched, it became clear that it was floating on its own, almost as if it was alive.
As I observed with astonishment, the boulder fragment crept languidly along, as though controlled by an invisible power, eventually settling upon my left hand.
Gradually, it proceeded to absorb the blood from my left palm like a sponge.
To my bewilderment, the rock began to alter in both color and configuration, gradually morphing into a red bracelet encircling my left wrist. But I only expected it.
[Acquired The mystery of teleportation! You have acquired a mystery! A legendary achievment !]
A message popped up in the system infront of me. A small smile slowly formed in my lips.
