Esdras felt a headache come over him. This settles it. He had to find a way to travel to another world as soon as possible.

This just became his greatest priority.

Just now he lost 16 Origin points. A far too great a venture for what he got in return. In any case at the very least, he learned some valuable information in return.

Seeking the shard in Arandos was pointless at this point. It was out of reach. It’s not that he didn’t want to try, but it was simply impossible to locate it because of the change in the continent in the future.

So, he should start looking for a way to leave the world. From his interaction with the Pharaoh last time he figured out something, world travel was not easy even for greater beings.

According to him, it should take at least two hundred years of preparation and the sacrifice of a hundred thousand rank 2 beings.

Of course, he also mentioned that there might be other methods in this world, it was just that he did not have time to explore this world and see what other possibilities existed.

Either way, it was clear that world travel was not easy. However, that may not be the case for Esdras, because he was a Planeswalker!

In the first place, when he came to this world he was just a normal human, without any preparations, or anything of that sort. And that was the power of only one shard.

He was confident that he did not need 100 years to find a way to travel to another world. He did not have 100 years he must retrieve Celine’s true soul as soon as possible.

For that reason, he needed at least two more shards. Esdras wasn’t going to throw away his life by challenging the queen of dusk unless he was of similar rank.

It would be even better if he was at a higher rank just because he did not want any mishaps to happen.

He did not want to fight her or anyone actually, he did not enjoy fighting very much. He just enjoyed overwhelming his opponents and suppressing them from a superior position.

He just liked the feeling of wielding that much power at his fingertips… real, raw power.

But where should he start searching? It was simple. The best place was the Octarine tower. It was a well-established force within the continent right now.

It possessed a long history and deep influence, the knowledge we had accumulated throughout this entire time, must be something to behold.

It was a safe bet for sure. Although he might not find everything he needed, he was sure to find a clue at the very least.

In the meantime, he will have to focus on learning and obtaining as many spells as possible. Of course, raising his level was a given.

His limit was rank 3 so he still had room to grow right now, which he was not going to neglect. It was just going to be lower in priority, than searching for world travel clues and learning spells.

“Esdras Varthos!”

Esdras heard a voice calling his name, below the tower, it turned out to be one of the other apprentices. He came down to know what was going on. With his current standing, none of the apprentices would dare to call out to him without a good reason.

“Senior Ron has called for you, you must see him at once.” The apprentice said looking down respectfully.

I’d rather fearfully. It was natural since in the past if they didn’t bully him, they at least did not try to help him.

Esdras did not hold any grudges against them, even a guess the people who used to bully the old host. The only ones he wanted to deal with what are the ones who try to kill him ever since he arrived in this world.

As for the others, it was not worth it to go after them. Most of them would either die in the Rite of passage or become slaves. Oh, they could also be among the dead right now.

This is not because Esdras was a forgiving person but because they did not offend him, while he owned this body.

Not helping someone was not equivalent to harming them.

Esdras was not nervous about being called. He just calmly headed to the meeting room. At the same time, he was wondering what the senior had to say.

Will he finally ask about his rise in power in such a short amount of time? He must be curious. As any man in his position would be.

Within the meeting room senior Ron was sitting on a large high-backed chair, and smoking from a pipe. There were two more people in the room.

One of them was a familiar face, it was lieutenant Donnis Mulder, who was in truth, the Crown Prince in disguise.

The other one was a fellow apprentice home. Whom he did not have much interaction with in the past. He was called, Daylen? Perhaps.

He had a very small presence for a level 4 apprentice. He had long brown hair and an easy-going smile. Despite the ferocious battle a few days ago, he was not injured notice he seem in low spirits.

“I am glad that the three of you have made it. I apologize for calling you in the middle of the day. Daylen and Esdras, you two have performed the best among the apprentices for that reason, you will be rewarded generously in merit points. You will be granted an extra spell slot, you can cash it in for merit points, if you want or directly, choose a spell after advancing.”

Esdras knew that when True mages advance they are rewarded with seven spell slots from the tower. However, if they want to learn more spells, they have to earn merit points by completing missions or tasks for the tower. An entire spell slot was not cheap.

” you have earned this for your excellent performance, the tower does not neglect talented individuals. Now, I have called you for another matter as well. It’s a request from the sub-tower master herself, I won’t waste your time instead, you should hear it directly from her.”

Senior Ron then removed a cloth from the table, revealing a mage orb. It flickered with light, and then a figure was projected in front of their eyes.
