Nameless King

"Agh...? What are you talking about?" Nicole muttered in confusion as she tilted her head.

"Look, you're definitely a special person, so if you really want your first weapon, you need something right for you. It's unlikely we can find a weapon with an unusual aura and Demigod Stage power from some merchant." Wain shrugged with a slight smile.

Nicole nodded silently, lowering her head again with a thoughtful expression.

"Moreover, all merchants get the weapons they sell usually from blacksmiths. Rarely can a weapon appear from energy and be Fifth Chronicle grade. It's only possible in Lands of the Gods, and not very often." Wain said calmly as he sighed, "Anyway if you're serious we can go to a blacksmith I know."

"Hmm? Do you know any blacksmiths in the Fifth Chronicle?" Nicole asked with a curious look as her eyes flashed. She understood that such a smith could make good weapons for her.

Wain remained silent until he answered, "Well, I hope so. A lot of interesting things happened the last time I was there, but she's very strong and capable. I'm sure she's already reached the Fifth Chronicle in that time."

"She...? I thought all blacksmiths were men..." Nicole's eyes went wide.

"Hahaha, you have too narrow a view of this broad profession. Last time she lifted a huge sword with one hand that I could hardly hold. She's a Demon blacksmith, so her physical training is of the highest level." Wain spoke confidently.

Nicole thought for a while before answering, "I've definitely decided I want a weapon. Your fight with Frigus completely convinced me of that.

'Agh... I helped Gisle, then helped Frigus and now Nicole is asking me for a request... It seems it could go on forever. Well, it's been a long time since I've been here, so I have to work things out to be free.' Wain inwardly muttered with a bitter smile looking at Nicole who was waiting for his answer.

"Fine, in that case, let's hurry. The sooner we go the sooner you get your first weapon." Wain sighed, waved his hand, and opened a spatial rift.

He and Nicole moved into the wide world, for Nicole it was the first time she had left the zone, so she was at first impressed by the different landscapes.

Whooooooooooooooosh.

Wain stood on a platform of darkness waiting for them to get to the right place, which was quite far away, but with his speed, it shouldn't take more than ten minutes. Wain could have used Blind Sorcerer's or Light Racer's power to speed things up, but he wanted to give Nicole time to feel the world.

Nicole sat on the edge of the platform and watched intently everything that was going on below. She was curious about everything she could see, so for the first few minutes her eyes shone brightly like a child in a toy store, but pretty quickly the shine was replaced by coldness and indifference. ƒ𝘳𝗲𝑒𝒘𝐞𝚋𝚗𝐨v𝘦l.𝒄o𝐦

"Hmm? Nicole, is something wrong?" Wain glanced at her since he noticed it.

"No, nothing's wrong, I just didn't expect the wide world to be so boring." Nicole muttered with an emotionless look.

'Damn... That girl's emotions can change in a minute, drastically... Well, she's not unique to that.' Wain inwardly sighed as he turned to Nicole, "What exactly don't you like? Isn't this place more diverse than Void?"

Nicole shook her head, "That's not it. At first, I was amazed at how many different areas and landscapes there are... everything is very beautiful and unusual, and this place is very different from our Void, but... it's boring." 𝒇𝚛e𝘦wℯ𝑏𝓃𝑜νℯ𝒍.co𝗺

"Boring...? What do you mean?" Wain asked with a confused look.

"Well... We've already flown over a few big cities, and there's no one stronger than Third Chronicle. Damn, I haven't felt anyone with a Fourth Chronicle aura yet, let alone Fifth Chronicle ones." Nicole muttered as she rested her head on her hand.

'Agh... So that's the thing...' Wain inwardly muttered as he nodded, "I see, well you're right, there really aren't very many Fourth or Fifth Chronicle ones in the wide world, they are, but we just haven't flown over them."

"Wait... Then where do you find strong opponents?" Nicole asked as there was a fire in her eyes as well as hope that this world was more interesting than she thought.

"Hah, you know the answer. I've mentioned this place several times before. It's Lands of the Gods. They are quite far away from here and all the strongest beings of this world are there." Wain smirked as his aura intensified.

"Lands of the Gods, there are Fifth Chronicle monsters there, right?" Nicole asked with a curious expression.

"Sure." Wain nodded, "It's easy to meet someone on the Demigod Stage there, however, I wouldn't advise you to go there, even if you get a weapon."

"Hmm...? Why!?" Nicole exclaimed as she waved her arms.

"Hah, because you're too active, cocky, brash, and the list goes on endlessly." Wain said enumerating Nicole's qualities on her fingers which made her frown heavily, "If you go there now you will definitely attack someone stronger than you and maybe even die."

Nicole flinched, then a confident smirk appeared on her face, "No matter how strong the enemy is I will never lose! Even if it's someone on the God Stage!"

"Hahaha, that's what I say. Although Frigus or Elegan will probably save you, I'm sure they have a way of figuring out if you're in danger like any other member of our Void, but it will still cause us all a lot of trouble." Wain grinned, put his hand on Nicole's head, and said, "I offer you another option."

"Hmm?" Nicole grimaced.

"First you must reach the God Stage, then awaken the consciousness in your weapon and after that, you can go to Lands of the Gods. I'm sure that when our Void moves into the Fifth Chronicle, you will have many opportunities to become stronger during the wars." Wain said confidently as his eyes narrowed.
