-Your Virtual Avatar has died.-

-Your consciousness is being transported back to your body, and you will be instantly teleported outside of the First Obelisk.-

Standing outside of the First Obelisk in a daze, Cynrik read through the spam of notifications he received just before his death at Yennifer’s hands.

To say it had been an unpleasant experience was an understatement. The feeling of helplessness Cynrik had gone through soon gave rise to defiance upon seeing that his Body stats were rapidly rising the longer he fought to stay alive.

However, that didn’t mean it didn’t hurt.

Cynrik had felt every organ and bone in his body instantly get pulverized, yet at the last moment, by forcing all of his Mana to run rampant, he triggered a numbing effect similar to morphine as a last resort.

It was something he had theorized in the past as a last-ditch effort since if he did attempt it, then it meant that not only would his body disintegrate, but there would be no coming back from it.

Effectively, he had shattered his Codex and allowed all the stored Mana to completely fuse with his body for a final push, all so that he could obtain the maximum benefit from his situation.

“Hah, that was fucking gnarly. At the very least, I was able to test yet another theory, and it appears that my nuclear option works.” Blinking several times as his eyes focused, Cynrik murmured under his breath.

‘It’s been ages since I unlocked the Memory fragment I got from Ragnar. To think that I would have to use that unfinished ability he developed at a time like that.’

-Ragnar Lodbrok Memory Fragments-

-Fragment 1: Unlocked.-

: Atferð Veðr (Energy Storm): Incomplete :

-Fragment 2: Locked.-

-Fragment 3: Locked.-

-Fragment 4: Locked.-

-Fragment 5: Locked.-

Thinking back to the fight with Osarseph, Cynrik thought back to when he received the memory fragment. When he received it, a short cutscene style flashback was triggered, where he experienced Ragnar theorizing and testing a new ability, which he called Atferð Veðr.

‘Still, to think that 20g could completely obliterate me that fast, hopefully, I’ll never have to experience that shit again. Luckily it was enough to milk some extra rewards from that damn AI Yennifer.’ Clicking his tongue, Cynrik opened up his Status panel and examined the results of his little stunt.

: Body – Tier-2.8, 11.3g Resistance :

‘Worth it. Hey Tobs, aside from experiencing that shit again, is there any other way to quickly temper my body and Gravitational Resistance?’

-Other than the method you just experienced, no. The tempering of one’s body is something that needs to be done over time. Throwing yourself into heavy gravity that will grind your bones to dust and flatten you into a pancake is fast but deadly.-

-If you had not been in your Virtual Avatar state, there is no way you would have survived going passed 13G, which was two times your original Resistance.-

-The best advice I can give is to take your time training it up as you have been and think of this as a one-time benefit.-

-And one last thing, Host Cynrik, never…EVER use that so-called “Nuclear Option” not only would you kill yourself, but if you somehow DID survive, you would never be able to use Mana again, and your body would be unmovable. There is a 0.0001% chance of repairing that level of damage, and you would permanently be left in a vegetative state.-

‘Gotcha, bad ideas are bad, no problem, Tobs. I wouldn’t have even considered it, to begin with, if I hadn’t needed to buy a few extra seconds to reap some additional benefits.’

‘Either way, my death can still be seen as a victory. I obtained multiple benefits, physical and material, so I can’t complain; hehe, even in death, I am triumphant.’ Smiling to himself, Cynrik remembered a line from his favorite novel series growing up on Earth and performed a gesture to accompany the line, called the “Death’s Touch.”

The smile gradually left his face as Cynrik raised his right hand to cover his face. His middle finger rested just above the middle of his forehead, with the ring finger resting just above his left eyelid. Cynrik’s index finger hovered above his right eyelid, and the pinky and thumb were outstretched, ensuring his entire face was covered.

Although it may seem cringy or edgelordish to anyone who saw his gesture, to Cynrik, the sign held significant meaning, as some of the only fond memories he had on Earth revolved around reading this series about a half vampire’s adventures with a Circus of Freaks.

Deep down, he was shaken up by being killed, even if he didn’t show it outwardly, and by making this reference, he was able to calm down before dropping his hand and pacing outside the Obelisk.

Rubbing his upper arms to comfort himself, Cynrik tried to shake off the tingly feeling running through his body while waiting for the others to join him outside.

—

The instant Cynrik shattered into particles, the members of MyrkLys stiffened, especially Selene, who in Brance’s eyes looked like she was one step from completely losing control due to grief.

|”That little punk! How in the hell did he find a way to turn his death into yet another reward!”|

Yennifer groaned as she massaged her temples. She had fully believed that Cynrik would be instantly killed. Yet, after the initial shock of 20G wore off, he defiantly erupted his Codex before flooding the storm of Mana into what remained of his body, allowing him to endure for nearly a full minute.

“What do you mean?” Headmaster Rivia asked, breaking his watchful gaze on the other members of MyrkLys and looking at his mother.

|”Immediately after the full force of my 20G of Pressure bore down on his body, he activated some strange skill that allowed him to not only break down his Codex but also fuse the turbulent, out-of-control Mana into his body. Utilizing this technique, Student Ivar temporarily extended his life.”|

|”In doing so, not only did he turn a punishment into reward, but rapidly raised his Body Stage along with his Gravitational Resistance ridiculously fast.”|

|”Anyway, in case you all are worried about him, Student Ivar is alive and presently standing outside the Obelisk, pacing back and forth in front of the entrance, seemingly lost in thought.”|

As Yennifer spoke, she examined the children’s reactions but soon realized that none of them seemed surprised by their Faction Leader’s reckless and insane actions.

Aside from indifference, the only one showing any real reaction was Selene.

Anguish swelled deep within her, and she struggled with the urge to attack the Obelisk AI as she saw her boyfriend suddenly reduced to nothing. However, after hearing that Cynrik was still alive and okay, she quickly controlled her emotions and only frowned in discontent at Yennifer’s words.

“Miss Yennifer, I apologize for my Brothers words and actions. He is a bit…special, and as I’m sure the Headmaster can tell you, he is incapable of filtering his words. Think of it as a mental defect he has had since birth.” Bowing his head in repentance, causing Gabby and Benny to follow suit, Brance quickly tried to resolve the situation.

|”It is fine. If I did not know about your older brother’s…particular character, I would have removed him from my Obelisk the second he arrived. I felt he would stir up some trouble at some point; I just didn’t think he would be so sly as to take advantage of me in such a way.”|

|”Either way, it is time for you all to leave now; remember, moving forward, you are all banned from the Second Obelisk; the next time I see you, I hope you have all obtained Tier-3.”|

With that said, Yennifer waved her right hand and scattered the four remaining members of MyrkLys into particles, returning them to the entrance of the Obelisk, leaving only herself and Headmaster Rivia alone in the room.

“Sigh, those brothers are polar opposites. The older brother is reckless and sly beyond his years, while the younger brother is gentle and caring. It is an interesting thing watching them interact, and without the younger brother’s influence, I fear the older would be a Tyrant in the making.” Geralt exclaimed, sighing and allowing his body to relax now that the students were gone.

|”Indeed, but remember that they are your responsibility. How Student Ivar turns out is in your hands entirely. Although Student Björn can check his older brother when needed, you will have to step up and protect those two in the future; I guarantee it.”|

|”Those two and Student Selene have a heavy destiny weighing on their shoulders, and they will need our full support if they wish to see their later years.”|

|”As for Student Gabriella and Benjamin, they have been drawn into a future they are severely lacking understanding of, and I fear if anything happens to either of them, it will radically shift the way the Brother’s destiny will turn out.”|

Speaking in a vague and mysterious tone, Yennifer leaned back in her captain’s chair and opened multiple monitors to replay the battles MyrkLys had completed during their trial.

However, her words were like a bomb going off in Geralt’s mind as he stood beside his mother and watched the replay of Cynrik utilizing his Bloodline skills.

“Mother…do you mean to say there is some kind of disaster looming in the future revolving around those children?” After several minutes of hesitation, Geralt finally asked.

|”My beloved son, dark times are coming. I can not say when, but when the day comes, you will need to be prepared, and that group of children will play a key role and be the main deciding factor if the world as we know it changes entirely, for better or worse.”|

|”I can’t tell you more, as it is beyond my scope of authority, as those times are neither too close nor too far away. For now, all you can do is help those five grow in power and maturity, as they will be your most powerful ally in the future.”|

Wearing a caring expression, Yennifer turned her head and examined her son. When she saw a confused and worried look on his face, she smiled warmly and placed her left palm on his head, like she had when he was a young boy.

|”You will understand when the time comes, my son, and when the events transpire, your father will not allow his old bones to sit by and watch.”|

Yennifer looked off into the distance and envisioned the strong back of the man she had known for thousands of years. The man who saved the world once before, and even if he was old and rusty in combat, she knew well enough how the man she fell in love with wouldn’t allow their child to suffer.
