"ll, Dell, Odell"
"Is everyone fully rested and ready"
"Yeah, we were just waiting for you, it seems that you were more tired than we thought, sorry"
"No, you're find it was a great rest"
"It looks like we can now gather everything then head for the chest"
"Yeah, hopefully nothing unexpected happens"
"That's for sure, I really don't feel like seeing any more surprises today"
The six of them gathered all the mana cores
"Not bad quality"
"Now for the chest, so who wants to open it"
"Why don't you open it Kody"
"No, I already had to be bait, it's someone else's turn now"
"Fine I guess I'll go" said Kai
"Are you sure Kai"
"Yeah, I also want to see what might happen"
"Alright but we'll be right behind you in case something does happen"
"Okay"
Walking up to the chest that was set in the middle of the floor. Kai picked it up and was just about to open it when he thought about something important.
"Um so how am I supposed to open it if it's lock"
"Oh, I almost forgot I got a key earlier while everyone was busy picking up the cores" said Kody
"So, the one who doesn't want to open it has the key for what reason, are you sure you don't want to"
"Yeah, I'm sure, I just forgot about it after a while, my bad"
Grabbing the key from Kody, Kai inserted the key in which he turned, and they all heard a click as that indicated it was unlocked now. Removing the key, he pushed the chest in anticipation, but he was on high alert in case something might happen again.
"Everyone be vigilant just in case"
"Got it"
Opening the chest, they all thought something might happen but to everyone's surprise nothing did which made them sigh in relief but in Odell's mind he was kind of disappointed
[Did he not do anything to it, what a letdown but it is different thought… So, I guess that makes it interesting in itself]
Once open, inside was varies things such as gold, mana cores, potions of different types. There were also some weapons inside too, but what shocked them more was the rank of all these things.
"Am I dreaming or are all these things at least the Sky Rank"
"No and the highest is at the tenth level which is something that's hard to get even for the riches sects or guilds"
"And there's gold here, how much do you think it is"
"I don't know but it looks like a lot"
"That's an understatement if I ever heard one"
"Well, it's not like I we can find out right now, we're still in this place"
As all the stuff was in front of them Paul said
"Odell how about you take whatever you want first, after all you help us in more ways than anyone has ever done… Are you all okay with that"
"Yeah, there's no problem we understand that without him we would have died long ago"
"Yeah, and he helped us improve during out fight with that beast"
"He also gave us these clothes and weapons without anything in return so there's no reason to disagree with that"
"So, it's decided, you can pick what you want first"
"You all are really something else…Looks like I didn't pick the wrong group to train" he said that last part more to himself
"But you all don't need to worry about me, I didn't do anything worth taking what I want or anything more"
"We disagree, you have though, more than you know"
"It's fine, just distribute it amongst yourselves after all I don't need any of it"
"Huh?"
"Are you sure about that"
"Yeah, I'm sure… don't worry you will all understand why soon enough"
"Okay then thank you, we won't forget your generosity, if you ever need us for anything we will help you without hesitation no matter what it might be unless it's something too extreme then we won't"
"Don't worry I wouldn't make anyone do anything like that"
"Then thank you and we'll be in your care when the time comes"
As the five were distributing the stuff in the chest something caught their attention, something they don't have any clue what it is or where it might come from
"What do you guys think this is, I can feel mana from it but for some reason it's giving off a weird vibe"
"I've never seen these before"
"Have any of you"
"No not even in the forest of the elves" said Michelle
"It does feel oddly weird but at the same time it's feels soothing"
"Yeah, that's what I can't understand"
Not far away just looking at them was Odell who just smile as he knew what those was
[I decided to do what they did with the beads a made some of my own, I had to dilute it's power a ton because not many can actually use or be able to comprehend my power as much as they would some of my brothers and sisters]
"It seems you all have gained what looks like a bead of origin... it's something that will help you all for the rest of your journey in the world of cultivation"
"Bead of origin huh"
"What how do you know what these are"
"Do you know where these came from"
"I only know a jist about them but to put them in simpler terms, they're beads that were thought to be the beginning of all mana source… it's the purest form of mana and nothing is able to corrupt it, but I read that it's hard to cultivate and improve but I'm sure it's not a coincidence that it has the same amount as the people who found it"
"You think something, or someone put this here for us"
"That can't be true then that would make them some kind of god or something"
"That would make it even more terrify if that was true"
[I wouldn't say a god but something more would be the best description I guess]
"Don't worry there's nothing wrong with it"
"How would you know that"
"Because the books said nothing will happen to those that have been chosen because the beads are a pure nature"
"Okay we we'll trust in your judgement"
"Are you sure about this Paul"
"Yeah, I don't know about this"
"I don't think nothing bad with happen after all we could gain more then we lose if we try right"
"Alright we'll go along with it"
Saying that the five picked up the black and gray beads in front of them and in the next minute something incredible happen to them something they didn't believe was possible
"The first step in making you all mines"
