System's POV

Chapter 7: The Rule Breaker [Part 2]

Thirteen shuddered subconsciously, having felt as if someone was staring at him from the Heavens.

Thinking that it might merely be his grumpy old man, he decided to ignore this feeling and continued to do what he was doing.

Soon, the Jinn Cores surrounding Mikhail's body all glowed at the same time. Particles of light emerged from the cores and flew toward the runes that were inscribed on his body.

The runes lit up one by one as they gathered magical energy from their surroundings.

The three Majin Cores turned into particles of light and were absorbed by the rune on the back of Thirteen's right hand.

When this was done, he pressed his index finger against his forehead and closed his eyes.

He was copying the information from the God of War Axe Skill Tree and channeling it all into the tip of his finger.

The God of War Martial Skill was one of the skills that Heroes and Villains could buy from the System Shop for Ten Million System Points.

It was an End-Game Skill that a host could only usually afford after years of saving System Points.

Since these System Points could only be gained by successfully completing Quest Missions or by unlocking Hidden Quests, collecting them wasn't an easy task. freew ebnove l.com

And yet, Mikhail was now going to inherit this Martial Skill for free, all because he was lucky enough to have Thirteen as his brother.

Once he finished copying the skill, Thirteen then pressed his index finger on his brother's forehead, allowing Mikhail to learn the skill instantly.

Of course, even after learning the skill, Mikhail wouldn't suddenly become a strong warrior immediately.

He still had to study the skill inside his head and practice it diligently. Only by doing so would he be able to make the skill his own.

Thirteen wasn't too worried about that.

He was confident that Mikhail would be able to learn the techniques that Thirteen imparted to him naturally. The former was born to wield an Axe, and it was surely his calling in life.

Just like a fish who could swim since birth, Mikhail would be able to learn these skills as easily as breathing.

'Since I can't become OP in this world, I will make my siblings OP instead!' Thirteen chuckled internally. 'Hahaha! Old man. I bet you didn't see this coming, did you?!'

Thirteen was feeling good about himself because he believed that he had found a way to become strong in this world, which was by riding on the shoulders of giants.

Since his growth was limited, he would let others grow instead. And through them, he would reap the benefits of his hard work!

A few minutes later, the light in the room dimmed as Thirteen panted for breath.

He had used himself as a medium to use Rune Magic, and it took a toll on his body.

Even so, he didn't have any regrets even as he walked shakily toward his bed, somewhat rushing because he felt that he was about to collapse very soon.

Mikhail was currently undergoing Enlightenment, and it would be a while before he snapped out of his trance.

Knowing that, Thirteen decided to rest for the time being to recover his strength.

However, just as he was about to lay down on his bed, he found himself staring at what seemed to be a man with the face of a rabbit.

"Laplace Demon," Thirteen muttered as he recognized the creature in front of him.

"Oh? Do you know me?" The Laplace Demon looked at the boy in surprise because it was supposed to be impossible for a five-year-old to know who he was.

Only those who had stepped on the Grandmaster Rank, like Thirteen's Parents, had the opportunity to meet him.

Currently, there were ten known ranks when it came to the Human Rankings.

They were Rookie, Adept, Apostle, Elite, Initiate, Master, Grandmaster, Champion, Thrones, and Monarchs.

The Five Great Clans were led by the Five Monarchs.

The Ten Prestigious Families on the other hand, were led by the Ten Thrones.

They were the strongest Humans in the world, and each of them had enough power and ability to influence the decisions of the Central Government that governed the entire world.

And now, he was currently looking at a creature whom he was only supposed to meet when he became a Grandmaster, which would not be happening anytime soon.

"Come with me, child," the Laplace Demon said. "The One wishes to speak to you."

"... Can I not go?" Thirteen asked back.

The Laplace Demon was the right-hand man of "The One" and usually handled things in its stead.

The Laplace Demon smiled as he picked up Thirteen like a sack of rice, placing the boy over his shoulder.

"Child, I am not asking for your permission," the Laplace Demon stated. "I'm simply informing you of what I am about to do."

Without another word, the Laplace Demon disappeared from the room, carrying the boy who had broken one of the rules of their world.

A minute later...

Thirteen found himself in a surreal place, where countless galaxies could be seen around him.

High above his head was a giant Golden Sun, who seemed to be the center of everything in this world.

"Child, do you know who I am?"

A voice filled with Divinity sounded the boy's ears, to which the latter responded with a nod of his head.

"The One, I presume?" Thirteen answered.

"It is indeed I," The One replied. "Do you know why you are here?"

"I have an idea," Thirteen replied.

His tone wasn't being overly respectful, but he wasn't rude either. As someone who had met countless Gods in the past, Thirteen was already used to talking to them.

"You are no ordinary child," The One stated. "Originally, I planned to erase you from existence for breaking one of the rules of my world. But as I was about to do that, I realized that you do not possess a human soul.

"This is quite intriguing, so I decided to give you a chance to explain yourself and your actions. Depending on your answer, I might go ahead with my original plan of killing you, so choose your words well, Child."

Thirteen looked at the Omnipotent Being in front of him with a fearless gaze. f reeweb novel.com

Since he had been given a chance to live a life as a human, he would definitely not throw this chance away without a fight.

It was at that moment when an idea popped up inside his head.

If he played his cards right, he might be able to ask The One to remove the restrictions placed onto him by his father and live in the world of Pangea as a human with limitless potential.
