Chapter 21 - Can't Catch a Break

Hours had passed since the incident and the group had dispersed. Having eaten dinner, the teen and yuno had been assigned their own individual rooms for the night.

The teen was laying on a huge bed with his legs crossed and his arms flexed over the back of his head. Letting his thoughts run wild, he would sigh from time to time.

'First the God system, and now Chaos. Things just keep getting worse...' *TSK*

He clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction not knowing how the future was going to play out.

'This must be how weak people feel all the time. Uneasy by an uncertain future. Can't believe I, the mighty Primal God, have been reduced to such a state.'

His eyes turned dark as for the first time since he existed, the tee- No, no, the Primal God felt anger. This wasn't like the times he would bicker with [Author] or [Reader], no this anger was authentic and directed at the God system.

As if responding to his anger an ominous presence descended onto the room. Suddenly, glitches appeared across space and- as if it was a fleating thought the phenomenon disappeared.

'Ahhh, what a hastle... I'll just deal with it when it comes.'

With that, the teen snuggled under the soft bed covers leaving tomorrow's troubles for tomorrow.

Thr next morning, a maid came to wake up our MC which was to his delight. I mean, who wouldn't be happy being woken up by a beauty calling you, 'Young master'

"Ahhh how the rich and powerful live..."

After having eaten their breakfast, the duo met up with the prince and the red-haired sect leader. Noticing that Yuno had once again increased her cultivation base the sect leader was pleasantly surprised.

[BOB.C]: Ain't no way you telling me she leveled up again. Ain't no way!

[Author]: Yup, yup she did.

[BOB.C]: Dang, wt realm does that make her then? I vaguely remember her being in like the 5th or 7th stage of smtn...

[Author]: Yea dude I don't remember either, I'll just go back and check when she advances to the next layer.

[Reader]: Ffs are you really that lazy??? Just go back and check so that you can write an accurate story.

[Author]: It's not like I won't ever check just not now uk, constructing an intricate story is one job, and remembering it is another. I'll just go and periodically check to see if the flow is right, how abt that?

[Reader]: *sighs* sure...

[BOB.C]: Ayo [Author] you better not mess up my story you hear me!

[Author]: Man shuch yo butch ass up.

As they were preparing to leave, the old man from before called out to Yuno as he said, "Good morning young lady, I've brought your auction items."

Yuno hearing this was happy as she bowed deeply before receiving their belongings.

"Oh please, I didn't do much. I was already going to receive my winnings so you didn't cause any trouble."

Hearing how the old man was talking, the MC had a positive impression. After that, the old man excused himself as he left to attend to his doings.

The MC seeing this asked Yuno for the coin he had won. Looking through their winnings, she carefully picked out the coin before handing it to the teen.

"What's so special about it anyway? It just looks like an ordinary coin to me..."

The MC let out a smirk as he said, "Only to those who don't know its history does it seem mundane. In actuality though, this is a very unique and powerful treasure. The only problem is that its powers have been sealed."

Yuno hearing this furrowed her exquisite eyebrows as she asked, "Considering the method needed to release its seal, wouldn't it be useless for a while?"

The MC smirked even more as he said, "That's where you're wrong my dearest Yuno, not only do I know the specified method to release the seal, I can even do it right now as it requires only one material. Essence!"

Hearing him, Yuno's eyes squinted in suspicion.

"And how would you know such a thing, hmmmm??"

"I mean I've been saying this for the longest time but I really am the Primal God"

'Of course, he isn't serious.' Yuno sighed as she walked away,

'A bit rude to walk off like that but nevertheless, I got a job to do.'

The teen let out a crazed smile as he excused himself into one of the many bathrooms. He locked the door and bit into his thumb before he began drawing complex runes with his blood. After drawing the runes in all four cardinal directions, he slowly started mumbling ancient scriptures. Halfway through, the runes began to glow with silver before synchronizing and forming a thin layer of silver around the interior of the room.

"Now for the main event,"

The MC slowly breathed out before drawing a complex array diagram onto the ground. After about two minutes he was done, he placed the coin at the center of the array and applied a drop of his blood onto it.

Looking around and seeing how much work had gon into it he snickered and said, "As easy as taking candy from a baby!"

With that thought he initiated the array, causing it to shine with a golden red light. Suddenly, sharp teeth-like objects appeared and snapped shut over the coin before sinking into the array and disappearing without a trace.

"What? What the fuck?"

The MC's face was ashen as he stared at the empty space in front of him.

No coin, no array, no nothing.

'Don't tell me I used the wrong fucking array?!?!?!'

His eyes were wide open as he considered all the possibilities. "FUUUUUUUCK!!!"

He yelled. Thankfully he had already set up a concealment curtain otherwise the whole mansion would hear his cries. 'No, no this is definitely salvageable! I just need to combine the temporal rune with the causal reversal rune... Yes, yes it's definitely feasible.'

With that, he drew a new array diagram centered around two different runes connected in many different ways.

Once he was done, he activated the array with anxiety.

'Please work, please work, please work...' he mumbled as he saw the array light up with red and gold. Suddenly, the temporal rune started shaking with great power before crumbling away. But thankfully, the array didn't go with it.

The MC watching this was shocked as an even worse problem appeared.

'Wait, since the temporal rune has been destroyed wouldn't the array look for another source of power?'

His face turned even more ashen as immediately after that thought another array appeared beneath his feet.

Suddenly a huge force descended upon his body causing him to kneel and his nose to bleed. He felt something stir inside him before it slowly made its way through his arm and into his hands. It slowly leaked away into the array which began to glow with an even more bright golden light. After a certain amount of time passed, everything stopped. Frozen in place not even the MC was spared.

Slowly time began to rewind. The main character stood up as his face passed through different emotions. The array beneath his feet disappeared before the MC began to undraw the runes. The whole process reversed as he undid the array. Shortly after, another one showed up and from within it, sharp teeth-like structures rose up.

The teeth hastily unraveled to expose an ancient coin.
