And with that thought in mind, he aimed to change his plans.
[This plan will have to work]
[Whoever will come out of this amulet has to be someone cable to carry my biddings, they will be my expansion to power.]
~Or else, they will be my power~ he spoke with malice.
Alden plans before meeting the variable Princess was straight forward. like any others transmigrated Earthly rejects. He himself almost fallowed along.
'Fight their demon, uncover themselves.'
'find a women who has hidden potential and secret powerful family'
'Fight to struggle. Get strong and rule the world.'
'The end.'
A loop unending.
But after being berated by the princess left and right, Alden decided to change that. Of course, he didn't really think much of it. In fact, he was pretty much flooded to the ideas of others.
Holding the unconscious princess hands and looking up.
Alden had never thought deeply about why this 'variable' keeps on speaking so much nonsense, she even thought that he was held against his will. By himself. This sort of thing doesn't usually happen in his case. For how long had he been a man to hold his plans back because of someone, or somethings.
Even his plans, who he had been working on since middle school had been ruined because of a 'variable' at the last minute. Or maybe he didn't pay attention to them well enough. Enough for him to creep up on him at the last stage of his escape.
[sigh]
[But no more slip up this time] he thought to himself.
Instead of killing the Princess that's in his clutches, Alden just had an idea that will work, additional feature of this, is to quicken his plans. There might be death waiting, or there might even be worst things then death after today, but with enough experience. Alden is confident it will work with all cost receipted.
And all of this, would have been neglected if he did like "Variable" to a perfected plan.
Byron was an example of failure. After planning for so many years. The man still fell from grace. not taking a variable in an account, yet he invited one and attracted one. forget this world slow pace to earthly advantages. He simply neglected that there will be someone like Alden or something like shadow mox.
And then there is princess Mable to his perfect plan, she used what little she have to forcibly take what belongs to him. She simply did not know anything about him and what his capable of, yet she took candy from his hand. A princess taking things from people with only little actions.
She is a variable.
Able to jump 'in and out' of peoples perfected plans.
That's when Alden realised that even if he planned for centuries, variables would fallow. The world is not a perfect plan, neither should he plan a perfect one.
He should embrace it. Hold it close enough to extort it, squeeze every juice it has and let it guess.
Simply put, Hide and take action when a plan of someone else is at its peak, then he will jump in and take it form their hands.
He smiled mischievously at the night sky. Downing his gaze again at the variable, Alden thought
[You will offer me what I need]
~And even more~ lifting her by the hands like prince charming, Alden put her down gently.
[can't damage her anymore, or else you will jump somewhere else]
~Now~ releasing the sleeping beauty, Alden looked at the grape gem that he almost lost tonight.
~Use the credit~ he spoke to no one.
{Affirmed command}
Opening his palm that held the gem, ready to witness the wonders that this world had to offer.
*PINGGGGGGGGGGGGG*
Like a metallic sound that had been hit once inside an empty hall.
The gem began to come alive. Slowly lifting itself from the humanoid shadow, the Grand Calcite Cage Gem shimmered a sound of distort. Suddenly.
*POOOF*
Wind blowing around the gem, a small figure that's frozen in what seem to be a suspended space began to enlarge at a rapid pace.
A creature that had its mouth open ferociously, its hallowed eyes that aimed only to be pictured and described as attacking someone or something, suddenly began to shiver, trying to break free from what situation it's in, it did not even know.
While the gem still releasing Shadow Mox. Alden watches at this event and thought
[Mox it's me, calm down]
With that thought in mind, traveling to the frozen creature, shadow Mox suddenly stopped shivering. It stopped fighting.
*SHAWWWWWW*
Shadow Mox moved past Alden with wind that carries shrouded darkness, should anyone touch or been touch by the creature. Only a Grand mage can help you. even a Grand mage is only skilful to do the most.
Alden smiled inside his form. He turns around and looked at shadow Mox who now landed on top of the roof, closing its jaws, Shadow Mox began to inspect its surroundings, not bothered by what happened to it. Shadow Mox slowly turned to Alden and walks in its four's legs.
Coming close to its leader, shadow Mox scrunched down and bowed. Alden seeing this stretched his hand and patted shadow Mox, he uttered after
~we have work to do Mox~
[System activate the amulet around her neck]
DING!
