[El's POV: ]

There are special structures in the Worldline that are designed as the (Growth points) for the individuals who discover them, challenge them, or somehow get trapped inside them.

'Dungeons, labyrinths, graveyards, old shrines, ancient ruins, and artificial places like this place are also part of those places of growth.'

Shrine of Chiragya was created by the first conqueror of this world, the first person who united all the continents and ruled over the entire land with his wisdom, deep knowledge, and abundant resources… or so it's written in ancient texts.

"That bastard Chiragya was a cursed person that was lucky even though he never wanted to be one."

He was from a rich family so he had the most riches that a home could wish for and their social standing in their society was pretty great as well.

His life had been ordinary until he became an adult and awakened his unique ability that resulted in his curse which, sadly, gave him an absurd kind of luck.

'All things he said practically came true. Even though he wanted to simply go on a walk, he would end up doing something insanely amazing, with just a word from him, the entire world would be turned upside down because of weird kind of butterfly effect, and even without him wanting to, be become an emperor of the strongest kingdom with him having the greatest subordinates, artifacts, riches, and powers that were fucking absurd.'

His curse was a blessing for the world, but to him, it was a kind of harassment no mortal being was capable of handling.

"He loved someone, only one person in his entire life, and thanks to his luck, he was able to be with that person as well. However, in his wake were left piles of ashes, hills of dead bodies, and a kind of carnage incompatible to any mortal bloodbath."

She loved him as well, and seeing him in perfectly fine at the end made her happy. Perhaps the happiest person present in that era.

"But then again, she knew she could never be with someone whose mere wish could cause such devastation… and so-"

[[ She killed herself? ]]

I looked beside me at my little dragon floating with a curious look on his face.

He strangely liked this kind of cliche drama stories.

"Yes she killed herself. And unknowingly so, the child they were going to have as well."

[[ Wow… how dumb. ]]

He certainly liked this kind of stuff over something actually fun like skydiving.

'Was being a primordial dragon make his point of view of this world different from the entire Worldline or was his likening for gardening and these common dramas an effect of the world seals put on him?'

Welp, whatever it might be, he was cute this way.

"So, he was devastated by this terrible thing, and cursed his cursed luck with tears of blood.

He cried for three days straight and it is said that a pond was dyed red because of his tears of hatred and self loathing.

He knew that luck was one of his own characteristics and it belonged to him and was no one's fault, that he was responsible for everything that happened to him and all around him.

He knew some of the things were for the better however, after the loss of his love and their child, he knew how dangerous this luck of his was for his own self."

[[ A curse that brings prosperity to the world in exchange for the barrier's existential stability… [Curse of black luck] as we used to call it in older times…

Before my time in that prison, I had only ever known about eleven individuals who bore this curse.

This is the twelfth time, and with a human mortal being the curse bearer at that. ]]

My dumb bastard knew about this curse, it seems. free(w)ebnovel.com

His old ass at least knew a few useful things.

"Yup. So, he started constructing a mausoleum for himself, a place that the system then designated as a shrine.

He saved all the wealth, all the special artifacts, as well as the unique powers that he had gained throughout his life in this place.

And he made it so that whoever was able to discover this shrine could challenge his succession test and since the way this entire test was designed made it only possible for those who were qualified to possess a certain kind of inheritance to earn it with their own actions, system accepted it as a unique land of opportunity and growth."

[[ I'm fascinated how you know all these things despite not being native of that time or even connected to this conqueror in any way, but that's just how you are stupid master. Always knowledgeable about weird things.

But, all that aside, how can you just open that gate with that masterkey? Aren't you supposed to find a certain clue about this place from somewhere first and then after going through various challenges- ]]

"Shut up stupid Cary. Do you think I have that much time to waste?

We already know almost all there is to know about this place so there is no way in hell I would go find that certain book in that eastern grand library where just to gain access to the floor this book is on, you would have to be a core discipline of their cult?

Then after doing the book, finding the clues on the eastern continent, move on and find things on the western continent which would lead to the western continent and from there, one would have to come all the way here with all the keys through that certain teleportation point in the south… fuck that shit man.

I ain't doing all that!

We have a freaking master key that opens everything that has a lock! Why in the holy name of Auriel would I do that kind of arduous thing?"

If anything, if I really had to do anything myself, I would come here alone, clear up everything, renovate this place, and make a direct teleportation point connecting this place and my living room.

Just how much time would that save, hun?

[[ Tsk. I sometimes forget my master is dumb. Haaaa… anyway, where are we going right now? And what was that about reaching the top? ]]

"Ohh~. You see, this entire shrine is divided into six levels and regardless of the place you are thrown into, you would be somewhere on the ground floor.

Though clearing the trial on the first floors gives some good rewards like stat stones and artifacts, they open up the path to the next floor. 𝙛𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝓮𝒃𝓷𝓸𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Now, after one clears all the trials on all the lower floors, they finally reach the top of this shrine where the late Chiragya bastard left a condensed version of his curse's positive powers, making that place the luckiest place possible in this world."

That lucky bastard was lucky, yes, but he did not become a conqueror who 'did not ascend even after having many epics and divine powers' with that luck alone.

'Thanks to his fucked up luck, he faced many challenged, and opportunities. Learned, got stronger than many of the gods of current time, became a Transcendent being who refused to become a god, and gained the special divine title of a conqueror.'

He was the only being from this part of the Worldline to have achieved something like that, and, that was exactly the reason many of the higher beings got jealous of him and ultimately when he died, sealed off this grave and erased practically every evidence of his existence from this world.

[[ So… you are going there to open the boxes you have amassed until now? Aren't there hundreds of those things from your various achievements? ]]

"Yup~. And the one who reaches the top first will get a wish~!"

[[ I still don't understand this wish system you two use, but whatever. This place sounds fun. When are we going to start climbing the floors then?

Are you going to use some super special strategy to climb the floors faster than him? ]]

He was excited now. Little bastard, kek.

"Of course not, lol. Who would do all those shit tasks just to climb these shit floors? That's a waste of time." Cary stopped in his place as soon as he heard me say that and had a stunned expression.

We were walking through the dense forest on a path completely devoid of any signs of life even though this forest was completely filled with all kinds of creatures of the older times.

There were beings of the past here that weren't available in the outer world here so the tasks were either going to be to fight them or to collect things or to learn things or to overcome things that were related to them in some way.

There were going to be various tasks for others to accomplish that will give them various rewards but they were not going to be easy in any way for any of them.

They were going to do those tasks, Lucy will as well, faster than any of them, I knew that already. He knew this place better than me since he had explored this place after going through the entire process.

But if I wanted to win, wasting time doing all those tasks and shit was unnecessary.

[[ My dumb master? How are you going to win if you don't play the game in the first place? ]]

He was stunned since there was a game Lucy and I were playing and I was saying I wasn't going to participate in the game itself.

He couldn't understand how I was going to win if I didn't do the tasks themselves.

"You are going to help me with that, dummy. That's the reason I have you out here."

The reason this entire path was empty was because the sole being that resided in at the end of this road. A being that was not something any of us could face at this moment.

A being that even if Lucy wanted to, he couldn't defeat by himself.

However, this being was unique.

"There is a dragon here and since you are a dragon lord, you are going to talk with it~."

I had a cheat.

And there was no way in hell I wouldn't use it for something so stupid.
