Reborn: Rise of the Greatest Summoner



"You look content". Aaron probed.

"Yeah". Legolas nodded as with a relaxed smile on his face, he turned to face the Elementalist. "By any means, do you know someone called Old Man Gu?"

"…"

Aaron looked at him for a few seconds before shaking his head.

Legolas stood up from his chair. "My destiny is likely tied to this old man, when I enter the galactic society, I need to look for him".

Aaron looked at Legolas without saying a word.

Of course, he was curious to know what the letter said but he did not probe. In his relationship with Legolas, he knew the limit of his boundaries. If Legolas wanted to tell him, he won't have to ask first.

Years ago when he was killed, he thought his story was over only to be surprised as he woke up to see himself trapped inside the gray world.

When Legolas finally arrived, he felt relieved. 'At least, this is not hell'.

His first intention immediately was to attack the human, devour him to see if he could recover some of his powers, he never expected Legolas to be the master of the gray world though as he suffered the greatest humiliation of his life.

The circumstances in which he met Legolas in the gray world was embarrassing, but over the years, their relationship improved.

This was possible because of a decision he took that day.

In this reality, perhaps apart from the other reincarnator that Legolas was looking for, Aaron was the only existence who knew that he reincarnated.

And with him also knowing about how Legolas fought and escaped death, he was the only existence to know 2 of Legolas' greatest secrets.

Despite his knowledge though, he was helpless. Through the powers of the gray world, Legolas had a firm grip over him.

This unusual and unlikely relationship between them was what enabled their trust to blossom with time.

Now, Aaron just wanted to know more about Legolas. 'With him, I have come to know that concepts like reincarnation is real and I have seen it'.

'Clearly, from everything that happened after his appearance in Planet Darvis, he is clearly someone with a huge destiny that attracts exciting events'.

'I feel like staying with him would let me discover many things…, much things than I ever got to discover in my previous life at my peak'.

'Besides, it's not like I really have a choice'.

Aaron followed as Legolas led the way back to the chamber of this Special Spaceship where Legolas usually held the gray world gathering.

There, Legolas focused on the new pulsing gray ball.

He didn't do it immediately. 'Compared to when I just started, the gray world gathering is now big with many members'.

'I don't really have a concrete use for another member now'.

'I think I should wait. Perhaps, in the future, when the need arises for a specific help or type of member, I can do it then'.

'I can keep it as another trump card of mine'.

With that, Legolas no longer hesitated, it was already time for the gray world gathering and it was time to embody the persona of the Hermit again.

Bzzz! Bzzz!

"Good morning, your Excellency the Hermit".

Legolas looked towards her direction, it had been a long time since he heard the cheerful voice of the Star, his mood was uplifted instantly.

"Good morning, your Excellency the Hermit".

"Good morning, your Excellency the Hermit".

"Good morning…"

The greetings kept pouring in.

Compared to the beginning when it was just Altan and Sophia, the gray world gathering was now diverse. With members of all backgrounds like John, Heimdall, and Edgar, it now really felt like a galactic gathering.

Looking at the Hermit who acknowledged their greetings with just a nod of the head, despite the nagging feeling that this powerful existence now felt even stronger, she ignored it in a bid to share how she felt.

"We won the war". She celebrated the gray world gathering.

With the exploits that were shone by Legolas during the Cataclysm who they all saw as the Hermit's representative and his position in the Planet, including their own contributions, they felt like the Cataclysm was a war of the gray world gathering as much as it was a war of Planet Darvis.

The others reacted to the Star as they expressed their emotions on the first real galactic engagement and victory of the gray world gathering, after which they all returned the gratitude to the Hermit who made it all possible.

Once they were done with their celebrations, the Hermit kickstarted the gathering this time.

"Let the gathering begin".

Hearing this voice that reverberated like the deep booming activities of an erupting volcano, they went silent as different thoughts went through their minds.

'So much power…!'

'His Excellency became stronger again!'

'Is our actions somehow related to how fast he recover his powers?'

'Afterall, after almost every major war related to members of the gray world gathering, we come out alive and he comes out stronger'.

'His voice is now so powerful and suffocating'.

The more she thought, the more excited Sophia felt. 'It is a privilege to take part in the recovery of an existence of the Hermit's level'.

With that, the gathering finally started.

Having all taken part in the Cataclysm that drained them so much, there was not much external news that the members of the gathering had to share.

The information sharing phase of the gathering lasted a short time today.

Once they finished sharing their information, the next phase of the gathering, the transaction phase of the gathering finally started.

Having fought against the mighty army of the Bug Emperor, they all came out with incredible loots, now they battered and sold this loot among themselves.

"I want that special metal fragment from the Unique Space Bug, my friend needs it". John indicated as he laid out his own goods. "In exchange for the fragment, I can give you a custom-made combat armor".

"Deal". Sophia accepted.

"I have a special blood organ from one of the Special Space Bugs that transforms blood into psychic powers". Altan finally laid out his goods.

"I want it". Edgar chimed in instantly.

As the batter and trade went on between his members, Legolas simply watched from his throne as the Hermit. 'Feels more like a real galactic gathering now'. He felt proud. 'They were right, fake it till you make it'.

'At first, it was a lame imitation idea from something I learned from my previous world but now it has substance, it now has Grade B Supers'.

'Damn, in just a few years, I've really come a long way'.

The transaction phase of the gathering took even longer than any of the previous gatherings. When it was finally done, the next phase commenced.

The Hermit finally addressed the whole gathering.

All of them paid attention like obedient pupils in the class of a strict teacher as his voice boomed round this enclosure with authority and power.

"Congratulations on defeating the Bug". It was a simple compliment but they all felt goosebumps, they paid attention.

"It shows how much the gathering has grown".

"Congratulations to the World and the 3 others who became Grade B Supers, your growth increases the influence and reach of the gray world gathering".

For a long time, the Hermit had been that all powerful being that only said few words in the midst of weaklings like the members of the gathering.

Not this time though. For the first time since the gray world gathering started, the Hermit complimented them for their achievements and growth.

And it didn't affect his persona though. The sheer aura of indomitability and power radiating from his voice gave them goosebumps, validating him as still the all-powerful Hermit who ruled above the gray world.

His compliments made their respect for him rise even more.

By the time that he was done, they all felt emotionally high and motivated, this was when the Hermit concluded the gathering with a bang.

"I have a new mission for all members of the gathering".

They all listened like they were receiving verdicts from their god.

"Find any information on Old Man Gu's Hut".
