Chereads / Mage of Blade / Chapter 10 - Return

Chapter 10 - Return

Upon waking up, Vulcan discovered that Aryan was nowhere to be found. He called out his name but received no response. After some time, Vulcan noticed a note on the table.

The note read, "Thank you Vulcan, but I must go. If fate allows, we shall meet again. Goodbye."

"Arrogant brat! If I see him again, I'll kill him!" Vulcan exclaimed in anger.

Meanwhile, Aryan had been teleported back to Earth.

"Zuuup... Finally, I'm back!" Aryan cheered inwardly.

However, he soon realized that he had been teleported to a different location than his last return to Earth. When he attempted to go home, he was stopped by guards who asked for his status ID.

Confused, Aryan asked what that was and was told he needed to register for one. Aryan claimed he had already done so, but the guards requested proof.

Aryan sighed and went to the rank determination room. He was amazed by the technological advancements but was shocked when the manager asked for his name and year of rank assessment.

"Aryan, 2024," he replied.

The manager shouted in disbelief, "What?! How can that be?!"

Perplexed, Aryan asked if there was a problem.

"It's the year 2224, sir," the manager revealed.

Aryan was stunned and ran out of the plaza, knocking over guards in his path. He rushed to his home but found a towering skyscraper instead.

Desperate for answers, Aryan searched for a cyber cafe but found none. He asked a stranger for their phone to make a call, but the stranger gave him their watch instead.

As Aryan turned on the watch, a hologram-like status window appeared. He tried calling all the numbers he remembered but was unsuccessful. He eventually searched online for information about his family and learned that his parents had died in 2036.

Aryan thanked the stranger and sat on a nearby bench, tears streaming down his face as he wondered why this had happened to him.

After a while, he stood up and started walking down the road while thinking of just one thing. 'Revenge', on the woman who had tricked him into the barrier.

"I need to get a hotel before doing anything else", Aryan thought

He then spots a hotel in a distance and walks towards it. While on the way, he saw an advert above a building of an academy. Aryan was just looking at it as any other advert but then he spots the woman in the advert.

He asks a passerby who she is and was told that she is one of the senior staff at the Indian Royal Academy, ms. Aria.

Aryan thanked the passerby, hiding his joy inwardly as he had finally got the information he had wanted.

Aryan reached the hotel and asked for a single room for a night. The room cost him all the remaining blue coins he had.

"It's pretty nice", Aryan thought as he entered the room. The room had a PC in it too. The PC was 10x10 cm in length so at first Aryan ignored it as he thought it would be some kind of remote but when switched on, the empty wall of the room was covered with the holographic screen of the computer.

He was about to go to sleep but then he thought of checking if any of his friends were still alive. One by one he searched their names and he was astonished to see that both Millan and Kevin had been presidents of big guilds.

Lastly, he searched for Shivanshu(Mom'sAngel) and couldn't control himself after seeing that he was still alive but right now, he was no more than an old grandpa waiting for his death.

Aryan decided to call him through the number given on the website, but to no surprise, the one who picked up the phone wasn't Shivanshu, it was his manager.

"Hello, who are you", The man on the phone asked

"I'm Aryan, get me in contact with Shivanshu", Aryan asked in an ordering tone

"Sorry sir but we can't connect you to our president without any reason", The manager replied

"Tell that bastard that he has a badminton in his buttocks, and he will definitely reply", Aryan stated

"Bu..But", The manager hesitated

"Just do it, you can trace me if you want", Aryan ordered

The manager confronted Shivanshu and told him word for word what Aryan said on the call. Shivanshu had tears in his eyes and commanded his manager to connect Aryan to him.

Aryan was then able to talk freely to someone after a long time. They had a long chat discussing what had happened over the years.

"You had a rough time...", Shivanshu stated

"Leave all that, right now I need an id so that I can kill that bitch", Aryan stated with anger

Aryan wanted an id so he could participate in the academy selection tournament which would happen 2 days later. At the tournament, Aria would appear and it would be a perfect place to kill her.

Aryan then slept after talking to Shivanshu for 5 minutes. The next day he went to meet Shivanshu, upon reaching his house, Aryan was flabbergasted. It was a huge villa with many servants waiting for the command to be given.

But Aryan didn't lose focus on his main goal and got his id with age as 16 years old. The name was the same as he didn't want to overcomplicate it.

After laughing and chatting for a while, Aryan leaves as he had to prepare for the upcoming day. He had planned it all, he now knew where Aria would sit and the best time to kill her.

The only thing he was now waiting for was the next day. He had planned to kill that bitch for hundreds of years inside the barrier in all possible ways. Right now it was his lifelong to kill her.

The next day Aryan reached the arena and stands in the queue for registration, after a while his turn had come. He was informed that his first round would be a familiar battle.

He was holding his laugh after hearing this as he knew no one there was capable enough to defeat Nekroth.

Aryan was not sitting in the waiting room but then when he remembered something, he could use this opportunity to copy skills.

He could only copy skills after he has seen the user use them at least once. So he went to the audience seat and saw people fighting but wasn't able to get any skills as none of them used them.

"Well.. how will they use it when it's a familiars battle", Aryan thought

Aryan then sensed the presence of the woman.

[Copy skill: Switch(A+)]

[Copy conditions: Kill the original user]

"Well, now I have one more reason to kill you. Aria", Aryan stated inwardly

'Participant Aryan please get ready, it's your turn.', he got a message from the watch he had got from Shivanshu.

"It's time ha"

Aryan entered the arena and saw his opponent was a show-off. His opponent was constantly appealing to the crowd and showing off.

"loud", Aryan stated in his mind activating the spell loud which causes the user to be louder than a speaker.

" check check, umm. so I wanted to give advice to all the audience to not summon your familiars during this fight or they may get affected", Aryan tried to warn everyone but no one listened and even the people who hadn't summoned their familiar summoned them.

'I warned you, Aryan sighed in a low voice

'Contestants please get ready!', the host announced

'3, 2, 1!'

"Go my unique rank lion lord", the opponent said while giving poses and showing off.

Aryan sighed and thought, "I warned you".

"Come my servant", Aryan speaks out loud

A black gate 2 floor building high materialized behind Aryan. As the gate opened, the inside was pitch black and released purple fog or glow.

Red eyes shined in that void black door. "I follow your command", Nekroth says while only his blood-red eyes were visible.

All the familiars were sent into a state of fear making them unconscious or even dead. The crowd too went into a state of fear and chaos just from seeing the eyes.

'How can this be...?!!", Aria was at a loss for words as she watched him from the top. She the. remembered who Aryan was and was sent into fear as Aryan gazed upon her.

"What the Fu*k!!!", the people like Shivanshu watching from their homes were shocked and even some even fell to the ground.

"This should be enough Nekroth, go back", Aryan closes the door and looks into his eyes of Aria with murderous intent.

"It's your time!!", Aryan shouts
