"Humm, I explored this whole place. It's practically a complete castle that's also a temple, for the Transcender I mean me" he exhaled as he got down the stairs.
"I still haven't checked the outside I mean it's glowing red that must mean danger or something probably should bring a weapon" he walked up to one of the wall mounted weapons
He picked up the Silver saber that was mounted on the wall "Humm this will do for the unexpected"
As he stepped closer to the huge redwood doors of the Critical his foot steps clicked on the glassy quartz floor,he stepped in front the huge doors and he sighed "did they really have to be huge" he pushed against the door using his back.
It didn't move for some time until a creek reassured its movement. It opened slowly and loudly and the metallic scent grew dense.
The red glow emanating from outside filled the citadel as the doors opened. Cairo eyes fall on the outside and the anticipation that was expected never came .
He came inside the air was metallic,rotten and dead, a graveyard plagued the ground it stretched as far as the eye can see a village destroyed on his left the dirt seemed to be blood red reflective of the crimson sky.
The only sound was from a raven that flew past to regroup with the rest of its murder. It was quite and dead "what happened here" he said as he approached one of the tombstone that was nearest to him, half cracked
""Here lies migratar sounji she lived for 56 years before the war over control of the cryptic zone claimed her she was a believer of the Transcender until death so his soul rests in belief of his occurrence" " he read the gravity tag
"Huh? War of control i know those but this one devastated this world " as he got up something captured his left eye it was book that was half buried hes hand strayed to pull it out but it was mostly blank accept for one page
"The cryptic zone, a place that was formed through a bond that goes against reality itself, took place about a thousand years ago— hum? The rest is unclear the moisture of the ground removed the ink." The book was cut off.
"A bond that went against reality... isn't me being here against reality as well–now am..."
His view suddenly changed to spot above in the sky's he had no control but it seemed as if he was sea through the eyes of a bird soaring through the sky . In this state he saw a bird half his size was coming straight to him at lightning speed.
Then it snapped back to his view and he turned his back and there it was a falcon about his size. He reached out for this saber to block
The claws of the falcon scratched on the saber then a bit off his skin,the minor scratched healed almost instantly as the falcon flied straight up in the sky and bomb dived back down. An icon next to him showed up and reads
Eagle Eye - perform a perfect block and you get a definite line of strike that guarantees critical counter
The falcon dive speed was increased and it started to glow a definite blue as it power grew by the speed it picked up
Cairo reached out for the saber once more and took a deep breath "listen to what it says perfect block" the falcon was beak first his saber was on its side they connected and it's created an energetic blast
And the world was suddenly black for him, only him and a white line that came straight from the tip of the saber to the other end that seemed to go nowhere "huh.. I feel weightless I -i can't feel the ground like I floating in water" the white glowing line emanating again shinning bright
"here it is… here I go!"
He swung it and the moment it connected, slicing the falcon head off. The massive bird collapsed and turned to mist that envelope him and it seemed to have absorbed it.
"What the hell feel like am going to..." the system Manuel showed it self.
Then it displayed a menu that showed the enter level up command word.
"Hum?a commands word…what about transand" he spoke to himself and the system recognized it and applied it. Then the many vanished.
"So this level up thing is not automatic I have to do it myself "he sighed a fog rolled up around him and his eyes glowed crimson he closed them.
"TRANSAND" and the power surged within him, the fog cleared in every direction.
"Is that it? I don't feel any different, ohh maybe my stats changed or something must have happened " he said and with a thought the stats window showed up
"Eagle Eye is in level 2 grants that power to see the world aerial and with a passive trait to show the definite line on level two it grants the power to measure creature level including those that don't" he reads it out to himself
"Something has changed and its just raises so many questions what does it mean including those that don't have it… is this system thing limited to people " he looked up at the red moon that covered most of the sky
"So many questions even though I just almost died fighting this falcon this life i far more fun then the one I had" a grin showed up on his face
"I will find out what happened here and whts is my purpose and be the strongest of course the Transcender is here and I have no limits" he grin only gree bigger as he pickup the book.
He turned on hes fit and walked back in the doors closing behind him by them selves "they can close them selves but can't open them selvs for me l... wait that sound inappropriate "His footsteps echoed through the citadel
