Rebirth: 100 Days Before Doomsday

"Of course, I will." He replied while returning the soft squeeze. But instead of letting go of her hand after that, he went ahead and threaded their fingers together before pulling their hands to sit on his thigh.

"What are you planning to do?" Dr. Kian asked, breaking his silence for the very first time since the meeting started.

Grace was silent as she tried to pull her thoughts together. Truth be told, she had no idea what she could do to find a way to enter the Magik Realm. She herself couldn't open a portal, and while Davian was the only person with portal creating power on Earth, he too couldn't open one to Magik Realm. They were kind of trapped in this matter.

Slowly, she shook her head while letting out a sigh. "I'm not sure. Bit either way, we have to find a way."

That was true. If they needed to heal the Veil, then they needed to get past the current obstacle.

Turning her attention to 2025, she asked, "Did you try looking for the other half of the book in the Library? Maybe it's there somewhere."

Unfortunately, they got a negative response from the Little creature. "I did. But there's nothing. The other half of this book, if it still exists, is not in the Library Tower or anywhere else inside the jade ring."

It was hard to hide the disappointment, even when she really wasn't expecting such a miracle to be possible. Nothing had come easily to them in this age of apocalypse and disasters.

"There's not much we can do right now. But you continue reading through the remaining books to see if there's something else that could be useful. By the way, how many books are left to be read?"

"About 30%." 2025 replied, receiving a nod from Grace.

They exchanged a few more words before 2025 took its leave and returned inside the Infinite Realm.

Grace, on the other hand, decided to help her men prepare dinner so that they could enjoy some delicious food after a long day of work and discuss about their future plans.

It took 2025 five more months, according to Infinite Realm's timeline, to finish reading the remaining books, and it found nothing else related to the Veil.

As a result, they all were at a complete loss about how to solve the issue.

But in the midst of all this, Grace realized that her powers were starting to act up, signaling a possible breakthrough.

Hence, she was forced to enter closed-door practice so that she could balance her powers and make the breakthrough.

For next two months, she stayed inside her spatial realm and worked on making a safe breakthrough.

It was exactly on the sixty-fifth day from when she entered closed-door practice, that 2025 detected the signs of the breakthrough knocking right at the door.

Grace was sitting in the centre of a pond, submerged in the cold water upto her shoulders. This was done to cancel out the extreme heat of the breakthrough if and when it would happen.

Her eyes were closed. Arms were slightly spread as the elemental energies of the four Spirit Stones she had already consumed - red, blue, green, and yellow - was swirling around her like a living storm... a beautiful one.

Her aura was dense and unyielding, coiling tighter and brighter with every second that passed. It was the final phase of the breakthrough.

The most hilarious thing about this was that 2025 had completely failed to find out what this rank could be. All the data it had stopped at Rank SSS, and while there was mention of further breakthroughs, there was nothing else mentioned.

This had left 2025 disappointed and angry. It had been bitter all this time, not at all happy about failing to even find the name of the rank.

But then, it finally found something... in Rune's Library Tower. It was a section of about ten books detailing the warrior system in Magik Realm.

At first, it ignored those books after a quick study because they had nothing to do with the Veil. But this time, 2025 decided to read them and see if they could provide it some insight.

It's decision turned out right as it discovered that despite different names, the warrior ranking system in Magik Realm was similar to that of Earth. And as per that data, Grace was supposedly going to breakthrough into the Supreme Warrior Rank - the highest rank to be achieved in their galaxy.

A Supreme Warrior was seen as not only the most powerful warrior in the galaxy, but also as the ruler of the said galaxy. And this rank offered the warrior immense power, including the ability to travel between planets and realms.

But the ranks didn't stop there. After Supreme Warrior Rank was Celestial Monarch - a rank that offered the ability to rule multiple galaxies and the ability to warp space-time, create or destroy star systems, and manipulate celestial energies.

Next was Divine Ascendant - a rank so high and powerful that it offered the power to possess a soul connected to the Cosmic Source and the ability to alter fate, restores or resets planets, reads the minds of millions, and control cosmic phenomena like black holes or supernovae.

The ranks continued for six more ranks before stopping at the final rank as per the books - Eternal Origin or The One Above All. This rank was the source of everything - beyond existence, beyond time. And offered the ability of absolute control over all matter, energy, soul, time, and possibility. A perspn on this rank was someone who cannot be defied.

As per the data, no one had been able to breakthrough into the rank of Celestial Monarch in the milky way galaxy. And the only person who made it to Supreme Warrior Rank in all these years was now the ruler of the Magik Realm, known as the High Lord.

Based on all this data, with this breakthrough, Grace would not only become the only second person in their galaxy to make it to the Supreme Warrior Rank, but would also gain the ability to travel to the Magik Realm.
