Waking up early in the morning as usual, Adrian was about to get ready to go train but he realizes he is not in the Cross county estate. Ralph also jolted up and realize he is in the room with Adrian.
"It seems like we can't do our training this morning. You can get some more rest Ralph. You drink quite a bit yesterday." Adrian said to the butler and he responds with a nod, going back to sleep.
Adrian gets up and goes for a morning walk wearing his night wear. He approaches a knight at the halls telling them he had a nightmare and wanting to take a walk at the garden. The knight take pity and offer to escort him to the garden.
At the beautiful garden where the moonlight shines reflecting the lake that compliments the beauty of the garden. Adrian stands by the lake staring at the distance and the knight that escorts him is watching from afar.
"Sigh… Yesterday, I'm not sure if I'm lucky or waiting for a more dangerous threat. Aria what do you think?" Adrian thinking about yesterday's unbelievable event involving the mysterious small purple figure.
[Responding. ARIA believe master is lucky. ARIA manage to identify the 'small purple figure' for Master.]
"Phew… That was I hoping for but at the same time I'm not sure. That mysterious figure is so strong." Adrian became depressed.
[Responding. Master don't need to worry about the threat of the 'small purple figure'. Based on the type of magic the 'small purple figure' used, ARIA is 100% confident that the 'small purple figure' is a Primodial.]
"Primordial? Like Adam? The human primordial?" Adrian shocked at the revelation.
[Responding. Correct. There are 7 primordial in Etterra. The beginning of the intelligent life forms. The humans, elves, beast kin, dwarves and dragons are the first representation.]
[Primodials use ancient magic as shown in 'Map', utilizing magic runes to construct a magic circle.]
"That is so cool. Do you have the records of the runes Aria?" Adrian was excited to learn it so he can stand on equal to grounds to the primordials like Adam.
[Responding. No records are kept in the Akashic Records, as the gods did not include events of magic creation in the records.]
"Humph… worth a try. Even ancestor Adam leaves 'Fist of Adam' in manual form. He must have known about this. The gods must also playing a game to see the beings growth and betting on it… sighs" Adrian asked Aria for a quick cheat but as he predicted it is not as easy as he thought. Since he knows that the gods are involved in his reincarnation, he became interested in the thoughts of the gods.
Adrian sits down by the lake begin to have many thoughts about his past and current life. The pattern seems almost the same as his previous life as Park Jae Sung. Right now, he is happy in the beginning but he is anxious about the future.
[Notice. ARIA sense the usual sadness from Master. How can ARIA help Master ease the sadness?]
"Hehehe… Thanks Aria, for being with me." Adrian let out a small laugh. He begins to sing a lullaby his mother used to sing in his past life in Korean.
A sweet melody was heard by the shining lake grabbing the knight's attention. Adrian's lullaby was echoing in the once silent garden. The knight suddenly leans at the nearby pillar feeling drowsy and slumps down, falling asleep.
[Warning. Abnormality detected in the lake.]
Adrian wants to quickly backs out from the lake but he realizes that he couldn't move.
"S*it." Adrian cursed out as he was too late. On the lake, he saw a bright light forming into a beautiful lady with bright bule hair, blue eyes and wearing a white dress. The lady also had a pair of big translucent wing.
"You had a beautiful voice, child. Can you sing me another for me? I promise to give you a gift." The lady praises Adrian's voice and asked for another tune.
"Analyse"
[Name: Cassiopeia] [Type: Lake Fairy (Matured)]
[Level: 150]
[STR: 400] [AGI:400] [END:400] [INT: 400] [Mana: 50000]
"A fairy?" Adrian blurted out in shock. It is a Lake Fairy a fully matured one at that. A fully matured creature are the ones that had reach their racial limit. No wonder no one know this a magic lake.
"Yes, I am. My name is Cassiopeia. Child, I fell in love with your tune, will you sing more for me?" Fairy Cassiopeia pleads.
"Of course, but not for so long. The morning sun will rise soon." Adrian agrees to sing for the lake fairy.
"Yes." Cassiopeia nods agreeing to not hold Adrian for so long. Seeing the nod, Adrian begin singing some English songs he hears in his past life. Adrian's beautiful voice is echoing throughout the beautiful moonlit lake again.
"Those songs are beautiful. I enjoyed them. Here are the gifts that I promised. I wish it will help you moving forward." Cassiopeia smiles brightly after enjoying Adrian sing while handing over 3 pearls as of knowing what Adrian is thinking staring by the lake so early in the morning.
[Name: Pearls of the Lake] [Type: Consumable]
[Effect: Increase mana capacity and permanently strengthening physical body after consuming.]
"Thank you so much. I need this." Adrian is very gratified for the fairy's gift.
"You're welcome, child. You are still very young, your worries had yet to come. Don't be sad anymore. Please come again and sing for me if you had the chance. I really enjoyed it. See you again, child." Cassiopeia shows a beautiful smile while reminding Adrian he still had time and disappear.
"I will." Adrian looks at the pearls on his hand. Not expecting an event relative to his wish.
[Armory Conditions met: Meeting a 'lady of the lake']
[Unlocking: Excalibur]
[Excalibur: Holy sword of King Arthur of Camelot given to him by the lady of the lake.]
[Special effects: Light +]
[Special skill: Severing light]
[Severing light: A slash made out of Divine energy that can instantly destroys dark magic and demons.]
"Ex… Excalibur? Ar… King Arthur's legendary Excalibur. Th… the special skill is what I needed." Adrian couldn't believe what was happening.
"Aria, please explain difference between 'special effects' and 'special skill'. Adrian felt some confusion between those two unlike Durandal, that only had special effect.
[Responding. 'Special effects' brings buffs to Master when wielding the weapon. Either on elements like Excalibur or physical capabilities like Durandal.]
[Physical buff directly buff Master's capabilities. Element buff can allow Master to use magics using as little mana as possible for spell efficiency.]
"So, I can use my self-created Light element spell?" Adrian cuts Aria from further explaining.
[Responding. Yes, spell 'Flash of Light' can be cast when equipping Excalibur.]
"I get it now. Now, please explain 'Special skill'." Adrian let out a big smile hearing the news.
[Responding. 'Special skill' can only be used when equipping a specific weapon. Cannot be used when Armory weapons not equipped.]
"Then, what about the divine element that the Severing Light manifest? Isn't divine element can only be used by the gods?" Adrian had more questions as he reads the description of the special skill.
[Responding. Correct. Excalibur can only manifest Divine energy when using 'Special skill: Severing light'. Divine energy cannot be manipulated like mana as like a god.]
"Oh? Like it's like that. I want to test it out now." Adrian finally understands the perks of the Armory of Legends. It must be overpowered. He already feels strong after unlocking 2 weapons. He feels confident to take out a royal guard or a demonic beast. As for the primordials, Adrian can face them soon. He suddenly feels an impulse to test his new toy but only soon to regret his decision.
[Selected: Excalibur]
"Equipped."
