''Wow!'' Sophia exclaimed out loud again, frustrating Kaile and Emma.
''You gotta stop doing that.'' Emma said.
''Sorry I couldn't help it.'' Sophia said as she glanced over at Kaile, the satisfaction from testing him came running in like a drug.
Emma sighed noticing this, maybe she was wrong to let her daughter tease Kaile in the first place.
But it's too late now and only the future can tell what the result of such an action will be.
''Everything looks the same as in the novels, minis the shop and abilities because, I guess I don't have any.''
''Just make sure you guys focus on absorbing the Genis energy this week, otherwise you will both fall behind me and regret it.'' Sophia said cryptically as she left the kitchen and went into her bedroom in order to devote her time to absorbing.
Kaile was left standing up while Emma was pondering something quietly.
Ding!
Emma got a notification on her phone.
''In light of the information about the system, school will be closed indefinitely for the time been, as opposed to our earlier short closer.'' Emma said to Kaile after reading the message.
This caused Kaile to pull out his phone. The news popped up straight away.
''A new video game like system has been reported from people all over the world, upon further investigation the system has been determined to be harmless, if anyone has the system, please inform the nearest government building of your related city, thank you.'' The voice of the same young news lady called Jannet could be heard.
''Damn Sophia never told us anyone can get the system.'' Kaile exclaimed out loud without realising it.
''Language.'' Emma's stern voice was heard, making Kaile start to sweat.
''I'll follow the advice of Sophia and head into my room.'' Kaile then left the kitchen forgetting his food that's on the table.
Emma Sighed, cleaned the kitchen and left, what she was doing or thinking, only she knew.
Kaile walked up the creaky wooden stairs, passed the hallway and into his room, as he opened the door to his bedroom, Kaile could feel the air subtly heading in the direction of his sisters room, he just assumed this was from actively absorbing the Genis energy like the scripture said.
Kaile decided to tidy his room quickly, all he needed to do was put his clothes that were scattered around his room into the walk-in wardrobe. This only took him a few minutes.
After that he sat on the edge of the bed, it was still nighttime as seen from the long window in his room, Kaile sat with his head lowered trying to think of something, whenever he thought about absorbing Genis energy he had the urge to go onto the rooftop.
So he did just that.
Upon arriving on top of the roof, Kaile saw Eleonor straight away.
She was laying on the beach bench chair, reading the book 'Human Origin'
''This is truly a fascinating book, have you ever wondered if it's true or not?'' Eleonor said lightly, not turning around to look at the one who just opened the window to the rooftop, like she could already see who it was.
''Is it?'' Kaile asked.
''No, but it can be.''
''What do you mean?'' Kaile said in surprise.
''Have you comprehended the first line yet?'' Eleonor asked, seemingly uninterested or simply didn't hear Kaile's previous question.
Although Eleonor calls Kaile husband, and is really lonely, she still has some reservations in her heart. Maybe once she lets them go, she will become an entirely different person.
Kaile didn't mind being ignored, he's used to worse treatment, and he still doesn't truly believe Eleonor's words about making him her husband, even if she claims to have met his soul before.
''I have comprehend the first line, but I feel something isn't right.'' Kaile said from behind Eleonor, he still hasn't taken a single step since closing the door to the rooftop behind him.
Eleonor got up from the beach bench chair and placed the book down on it, she then walked over to the fence she created earlier before looking out into the distance.
''Is there something so special in that direction?'' Kaile asked, every time she stands there, she is constantly looking to her left, like she has found something interesting.
''Even I who created Genis energy, have no idea how it will affect everything in the future.''
''Can't you just look into the future? I would imagine someone powerful enough to create a new form of energy could do that. Right?''
''I can.'' She paused for a moment, seemingly that's all she was going to say but...
''There are countless paths a person or object can take, therefore there are countless futures, I can see them all but none of them will be the correct one.'' Eleonor said mysteriously.
''And why is that?'' Not expecting an answer, Kaile tried his luck. Seemingly after removing his misfortune he seems to have become a lucky person because she actually answered.
''I'm not all powerful, I am still constrained to this reality, what I did was create something I recently comprehended. Something vital to all life that wishes to survive outside of reality itself. So I have no idea how the future will hold, because even if I look into the future, all of them will be wrong.''
''You actually gave us something so powerful?'' Kaile wondered just what this woman before him was thinking to do such a thing.
Eleonor turned around and smiled a beautiful smile at Kaile, momentarily sending him into a trancelike state, before he heard her voice which snapped him out of it again.
Now that he is back in his right mind, that once beautiful smile on her face doesn't look like one of beauty. But one of loneliness.
Kaile couldn't understand why, so he didn't ask. Something his future self will be thankful too, as right now all he could do is watch.
Sometimes, knowing too much information will be detrimental to yourself and everyone around you in the future, that's why in cultivation novels, the strong person always acts mysterious, or talks in riddles.
''This is my gift to you, husband. Do you like it?''
Kaile could only stand there not knowing what to say, perhaps sensing that, Eleonor made two books appear in her hand out of nowhere.
''The ancient vampire progenitor, and Karmic dragon!'' Kaile would recognise those books anywhere, those are the books he read over and over again in an attempt to rid himself of the sadness in his heart.
''Why don't you absorb Genis energy?'' Eleonor asked, looking up from the two books in her hand.
''Because I feel like I'm missing something.'' Kaile gave the same reply as before.
Eleonor smiled and said.
''That's because you still don't understand your true self of this very moment, if you hadn't felt your sister's shift in aura when she understood her true self after comprehend the Genis scriptures second line, maybe you wouldn't feel this way.''
''What! So she understands the second line also, how come she didn't tell us anything then?'' Kaile said in shock, unable to accept his sister would keep something like that away from him.
''She did tell you though.'' Eleonor said with a raised eyebrow.
''When?'' Kaile calmed down after seeing this.
''She gave you a hint, the way to understand the next line. But even if you understand the hint, you will be still stuck and unable to progress.''
''And why is that?''
''That's the same reason as to why you feel something is wrong. It's because you don't understand your true self as of now, once you do everything will become clear.'' Eleonor walked and sat down on the edge of the beach bench chair, she then patted beside her for Kaile to sit without looking at him.
Kaile got the message and walked over and sat down, a bit further away from her though, but he was still on the same chair.
A small smile came to Eleonor's face, this time it wasn't one full of loneliness, but Kaile missed it as he had his eyes closed trying to understand himself more, he can feel he's close, he is only missing something but what is it?
The sadness left him so he could comprehend the first line, but what else?
Suddenly Kaile understood.
He was able to progress because the sadness in his heart was lifted, showing Kaile that the sadness wasn't truly his own, this allowed him to progress further with in Genis scripture because, it can be said he has understood his true self, but only that last step is missing.
What is it?
Kaile looks back into the beginning of his life in the orphanage but sees nothing.
His answer isn't the orphanage, nor is it Salia.
So just what could it be?
Kaile began to think of more recent things like. What happened on the stairs today.
Kaile blushed, and began to shake his head. This caused Eleonor to stop reading and look over at him.
Given the fact that Eleonor called him husband, and how powerful she is, She should already know what he was thinking about, it doesn't take a genius to tell when a virgin is thinking of something naughty.
But there was no ripple in her eyes, at least not on the surface anyway. She just continued to read the book like nothing happened.
Kaile's heart rate went up, and his object down there threatened to rise up.
That's when a lot of memories flashed past his mind.
Memories of Sophia always standing outside his door in the morning, or after coming back from school.
Memories of her cheering him up when he felt sad, her sharing the polar bear videos to include him in her hobbies more, and finally how she always teases him, which brought a smile to his face.
His heart rate calmed down, and so did his object down there.
A warm feeling began to spread in Kaile's heart.
That's when he understood.
Kaile looked at the Genis scripture in front of him again and gave it a second try.
That's when a lot of information flooded into his mind, unlike the last time when comprehending the first line that felt like a battlefield of emotions, this time it felt like the Genis scripture was eager to give information away.
Eleonor smiled and placed the two new books she grabbed from Kaile's room, and put them right next to him.
She soon disappeared after.
It's unknown where she went.
Northwest of the Neutral country, in the same direction Eleonor continued to look from the rooftop, is one of the top five countries in the world.
The country of X.
X is a country that's just as advanced in technology as the neutral country. The only difference being guns are allowed to be carried on a person at any and all times.
This was a rule set by them, when the country X was at war with the other 4 big countries, as soldiers would frequently invade, so a way to stop this was to use random civilians to hold them back for some time.
Thousands of years ago, country X was the nest to one of the five strongest walking calamity class beasts on land.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
''What's happening?'' The country leader of X said to a scientist in front of him.
''We don't know sir? The beast underground has shown signs of awakening!'' The clearly frightened scientist said.
''What! Why now of all times? Damn it!'' The world leader hit the table of his office, while shouting at the scientist that was flinching in fear.
Go! Go! Fix it for me the way like we always do.'' The world leader said with a dismissive attitude while pinching the bridge of his nose with furrowed brows.
