Child of Destiny

...

After talking with the trio – Arthur, Leonard, and Cloe – David went back to the independent dimension to report something to his master as he had already received the news from the academy.

Right after entering, he could not help but slightly frown when he could not find Uno anywhere. "Where is our troublemaker? Out to cause trouble again?"

Alyssa glanced at him as she cleaned the room. "He went out to get some fresh air. At least that is what he said before going out again."

"Tsk! I bet he just got bored of staying here. He is not the type to sit around without doing anything after all," he commented while clicking his tongue.

"He sure is fearless. Is he not afraid of those old monsters that are currently present?" he shook his head as he found Uno's confidence impressive.

After that, he went to his master and quickly reported. "Master, they have confirmed it. It seems like that tomb is indeed connected to that place."

Hearing that, Evangeline slightly nodded her head. He was silent for a couple of moments before mumbling. "The King of Thieves, huh? I wonder if he is the key to finding that place."

She then turned to the two before saying. "I have a mission for the two of you."

At the same time, Uno returned to the mansion. But instead of heading back to Shin's room, he went to where David was staying.

The other room was in a mess because of his brief 'exercise' with Arthur and Leonard earlier, so that place could not be used for the time being.

But at the same time, he also ordered some servants to transfer Shin's gaming cabin to David's room as he would be using that.

He was quite bored, but he could not leave the household carelessly due to the recent events. Even if they were currently in the Central Continent, which was basically the home turf of the Springfield Family, he still could not carelessly leave because the situation was quite chaotic.

With that, he could only find another form of entertainment from something else. The only thing that he could think of right now was the game that everyone was playing these days.

When he was done setting up the gaming cabin and checking that there would be no issues, he sat inside it before closing the door.

After pressing a couple of buttons to start up everything, he leaned back and relaxed his body before closing his eyes.

"Initiate game login!"

"Destiny's Fate!"

Swoosh!

…

Right after he issued the command to the system, his consciousness was immediately transferred to the game.

When he opened his eyes once again, he found himself inside the room within the Storm Fortress.

Right after logging in, he was immediately bombarded by a series of notifications from the system, which informed him about the state of things, particularly those missions that were currently pending. R̃ἈɴỔᛒÊs̈

He ignored the personal messages that he had gotten as he would leave it to Shin later when he came back. He just browsed through to most important ones but still ignored them in the end.

What he would be focusing on was the urgent quests that Shin currently had, which was the investigation and gathering of the evidence that would link the Dark Cloud Kingdom and the Demonic Churches.

He had been with Shin all this time, and he watched the latter progress, so he was somewhat familiar with everything that Shin was doing.

However, he was not sure how Alice had dealt with the Death Flora since Shin had already left and logged out during that time.

But since the fortress was still standing, it would not be hard to guess that she was successful at taking it down along with her new Elemental Spirit.

Moreover, an Enlightened Being was stationed in this place, so even if she failed, Uno doubted that this fortress would fall that easily.

What made him slightly knit his brows was the update of the current quest that Shin was doing in progress.

"The Dark Cloud Kingdom is waging wage against all its neighboring kingdoms aside from the Storm Empire? I guess those people are getting impatient," he mumbled as he read through the quest update.

"Heh! They must be afraid of the might of the Storm Empire," he commented after making sure that he was still not too late for his quest.

"No wonder the system specifically indicated the Storm Empire rather than any other neighboring kingdoms – it is more powerful than the rest," he mumbled before standing up.

He was planning to deal with this pending quest and get it over with as soon as possible so that he could focus on relieving his boredom with other things.

"Tsk! Why do I have to run errands when I am just here to play," he complained as he walked out of the room.

Then right after he stepped out of the room, he was suddenly greeted by a soldier, who seemed to be waiting outside. Discover more stories at M V L

"You are finally out, esteemed guest. I commander is worried that you are having some problem after not walking out of your room for a few days," said the soldier right after greeting him.

Uno slightly frowned his brows before asking. "Is he looking for me?"

The soldier nodded his head. "The commander wants you to meet him as soon as possible. But since he doesn't want to disturb you if you are undergoing some breakthrough, we don't dare to disturb you."

"And since you have been staying inside that room for quite a long time, he can't wait for you as he has to head to the capital to report directly to the council," the soldier added as he gave Uno a curious glance.

He seemed to find that 'Shin' in front of him was somewhat different from what he had remembered. But that thought only lingered inside his head as he quickly disregarded it as he guessed that it had something to do with the 'close-door-training'.

Uno thought for a moment before replying. "I can't wait for him as I still have something important to do."

The soldier opened his mouth, planning to say something, but he quickly swallowed it back right after accidentally meeting Uno's eyes.

There seemed to be an immense pressure pressing on him right after seeing those eyes. There was a mixture of authoritative air and cold vibe coming from Uno, which made it hard to breathe for those who he looked at, particularly the ones with a slightly weaker mental strength.

Due to this, It was getting hard for other people to talk to much, much less refute his words.

The soldier could only nod his head while staring blankly at Uno.

Uno ignored the reaction of the soldier and nodded his head. "Thank you."

He then turned around and walked away.

The soldier could only watch his back as he disappeared in the corridor. This soldier was only able to recover himself after a few moments. There was an odd look on his face when he realized something.

"That was scary," he mumbled a shiver running down his spine.

…

In the meantime, Uno, who was traversing the Stormy Mountain Range to reach the Dark Cloud Kingdom, was killing a couple of monsters to adjust himself to the current 'body' that he had.

While he was doing that, Solus' voice suddenly sounded inside his head. "Who are you? Where is our liege!?"

Uno slightly raised his brows when he heard her words. But he chose not to say anything as he was too lazy to entertain her.

Fortunately, Hanzo quickly stepped in before she and Astaroth could even lose control. "This guy is still our host, but also somewhat different. You should have met him a couple of times already, you just don't realize it earlier because Shin always takes over immediately after."

"This guy is that kid's alter ego," he added with a sigh.

He then shifted his attention to Uno before asking. "But what happened to the kid exactly for you to be the one taking over his body actively?"

"Tsk!" Uno could not help but click his tongue in annoyance and just said. "He is tired and asleep, so I will be taking over for the time being."

Hanzo was still somewhat suspicious but did not further ask as this might include something else. At least he could feel that Shin was not in danger or anything, so he would not have any issues with it.

So long as Shin was fine, he would not be asking any questions. He was unlike these fanatics, who worshipped Shin unconditionally.

Solus still had a lot of things to ask, so she bombarded Uno with a lot of questions while Astaroth was seconding her words with 'That's right', 'Yes', 'I agree', and something similar.

Uno was not in the mood to entertain any of them, so he continued to ignore their words while focusing on adjusting himself to this world.

This continued for quite a while until he finally reached the borders of the Dark Cloud Kingdom.

Right after he stepped out of the Stormy Mountain Range, he immediately noticed an army organizing themselves in the distance.

Looking at their size, he guessed that they were at least ten thousand strong.

He observed them momentarily before his lips curved into a devious grin. "Just when I am getting bored. These guys should be enough to entertain me for a while."
