Chapter 71 - TIME SPAN IS STILL HERE!!!

As he spoke this inner word, he sighed and returned to his technique menu, reading the two new abilities, he had achieved and thought,

"These two sounds new to me. New in using and achieving however, it's familiar to me when I take it back there… sadly I can't remember anything…" he paused under the blue light in silences.

[TING] a call from the system moved his sight.

[DO YOU WISH TO TAKE A LOOK at YOUR STATUS?]

"Yes." nodded Eden.

The diamond screen appeared again with all new status.

[HOST: EDEN LOCKER]

[CLASS: NONE]

[HP: 30/30]

[MP: 30/30]

[DEFENCES POINT: 0]

[ATTACK POINT: 0]

[ELEMENT: ESSENCES]

[SPACE STORE: 3]

[GOLD COINS: 200 COPPER]

[TECHIQUES: 3]

[SYSTEM REMARKS: WELL DONE!]

This grew a smile on Eden, "Well at least I achieve something." Sighed the boy by leaning back on his arms.

He gazed at his cube containing RARE mission asking, "System, I know you somewhat answers my doubt but, I'm been wondering what lies within the last two cubes. I mean the sixth and seventh, any hint?"

[TING]

[THE HOST REQUESTED]

[REPLY: THE HOST IS STILL A BEGINNER TO LERN MORE]

[SOLVE AND EVOLVE]

"Fine…" sighed Eden.

He touched the status menus again noticing something odd, catching his eyes.

The techniques status marking Attack and Defense weren't available in his status earlier.

"This is pretty new. It wasn't here before. But WAIT?" puzzled the boy.

He saw that there were THREE abilities mentioned rather TWO abilities in the technique counts.

'Exchange order' and 'Energy weave' were the only techniques but then why?

He was dumbfounded by the result thus, he decided to check it out.

Once he touched the technique bar, scanning his abilities, terrible shock got him out of his skin.

The ability that he had unlocked, consuming all his mana in the past was still here.

Surprisingly, with no explanation it was counted among the list,

[TIME SPAN!]

"WHAT THE HECK IS THIS?!" exclaimed Eden out of his volume, "TIME SPAM! It's still here! But how?

WHY?

WHAT'S THE MEANING OF THIS SYSTEM?!

WHAT IS GOING ON?!" he asked the thin air.

Unfortunately, the same prevention answer pop out:

[THE HOST IS STILL BEGINNER TO LEARN MORE!]

"Wait a second!" argued the host, "How can you say that I am still a beginner when the Time Span is on-going?" he started to get anger, "You need to tell me what in the world is going on?

This doesn't explain anything. It is all puzzling. TELL ME!"

[TING]

The host watched hoping for an answer when the hopelessness came up,

[TING]

[THE HOST IS STILL A BEGINNER TO LEARN MORE] was the answer that he got.

[THE HOST IS STILL A BEGINNER TO LEARN MORE]

Again, it came.

[THE HOST IS STILL A BEGINNER]

Different tags appeared with all carrying the same statement:

[THE HOST IS STILL A BEGINNER]

These replies came over and over again.

This started irritating him, "STOP THIS!" roared the boy out loud in rage when a call interrupted him,

"'Eden…."'

"AH!" he got stunned and veered to his right, surprised to find the Vampire looking at him with his scarlet glowing eyes.

"Are you okay?" he asked, "you seem uneasy. Is everything okay?" he sounded worried than talking in sleepy head, "You were shouting stop it, all is well?"

The surprising part for the host was this Vampire couldn't see anything regarding the system.

The flowing cubes, the diamond status screen, the repeated tags around him, the circle screen or the blue LED light flashing from the system.

In his friend's view he could just see Eden sitting empty on his bed.

Eden smiled at him helplessly and asked, "Did I disturb you? I am truly sorry about that?"

"'No, you didn't do anything, my friend. I just you that I am concerned." smiled the Vampire sitting up, "Are you getting disturb here? You might be missing home?"

Eden shocked his head saying that all is well and fine with him. Nothing was wrong.

The Vampire grinned saying, "Alright then sleep well. You need rest or else you won't be able to attend your first day of school. Don't want miss that right?"

"Yes, thanks a lot." nodded the boy as his friend fell back on the pillow. He greeted him good night and got defeated from sleep.

With a deep release of sighing, Eden swiped his hands on the air, returning all the screen and item to its cube.

After arranging his stuff, he fell on his bed, staring at the roof as he said inwards,

"I can't believe what I guess discovered in my techniques. How did that ability catch up with me?

How on earth didn't it vanish away?

I can't believe that the system of Magus keeps surprising me every minute. I need to learn more and evolve."

He cleared his head from wild thought as he prepared himself for sleep. Wrapping up himself with hiss blanket he said inwards,

"And about Layzen's words." He turned to his left whispering sadly, "Home.... If only I had one of my own. There is no place called…. home... for me…... in this world…..."
