Re: Player-Chapter 74: [Personal Space!]

"So Gray. Would you do it or not?"

His eyes faltered a little. I could see him hesitating whether to go along with my deal or not. Though there wasn't much of a choice there was it? After all, he was in the presence of two gods.

"I will do it," he made his decision before I turned to Alepsia as I asked," you have a contract paper right?"

A Contract Paper.

It was one of the accessories created by the Gods to bind the two sides with a life and death thread. Though powerful gods can break or annul the contract by sacrificing a bit of their life force, I doubt we need to worry about that here.

"I do," Alepsia took out one from her space and threw it towards me. Catching the paper, I then saw Valencia taking out a pen and passing it to me.

"Thanks," I smiled at her before writing the contracts, as I have stated before. I added a couple of extra clauses in case he didn't end up finding a loophole in it.

Though much to my surprise, when I passed him the contract, he simply signed them without even looking at them. He then stood up as Valencia let him move.

"I seem to have gone dull over these years. To think the one I thought of the weakest turned out to be the most dangerous of all," he spoke as he looked at me. His eyes don't seem to carry any hostility, though. Even though they were just empty sockets.

"Is that so? I'll take that as a compliment," I smiled as I then turned to Valencia," it won't be a problem to let him go. In fact, he is going to be more valuable to us much more than your 'allies' are."

Her face stiffened for a brief moment before she let him go.

"If it ends up biting us back, I will come for your head myself," she looked at me with a threatening smile and II raised both my hands up,

"I am but an innocent soul traveling from place to place."

"Pfft~" Ameliana laughed as she looked at me while Alepsia was smiling as well. Valencia shook her head as she then moved towards the chair to take a seat.

"You can stay here for a few days if you want. I am gonna be here for about a week or two as well. Since you have been captured for so long, it would be better to collect some information before you start your mission."

I spoke to Gray, who was standing there making his own plans. Though hearing my voice, he seemed surprised before he turned to Alepsia,

"Can I? Aren't Dark Mages hated in the Light Continent?"

"They are. Pretty much by a large margin… but don't worry. There are always exceptions," I spoke as I created a black flame ball in my hand. Making him even more surprised than before.

"Wait! Weren't you a Light Magee? How-"

Though I created a Light ball in the same hand and then rotated them around each other for a few seconds before vanishing them with a click.

"..."

I could see him standing there blankly without speaking even a single word.

Ignoring him, I turned to Alepsia as I spoke," I will be visiting a nearby dungeon. And from now on, I will be returning here. That will be fine, right?"

Alepsia nodded without any words as I moved outside the room, navigating myself out of the temple. While I did want to go to the city, I decided it would be better to check a couple of things.

Moving towards the city center, I first found a nearby bed shop. Looking around, I found a comfortable bed.

"Would you write the address so that we can send it there?" he asked, but I shook my head as I simply placed it in my ring.

His eyes turned wide open as he saw my ring. Fascinated, he even started asking me about the price of the ring, but I rejected him politely saying that it was a family heirloom. Only then he stopped his attempts.

Paying for the bed, I then moved out and started searching before I found a secluded rooftop. I made sure nobody followed me just in case and…

[Personal Space]

I entered the space and tried taking the bed out of the inventory and pretty much worked fine. Though another message appeared when I tried leaving without taking the bed.

[Checking the ownership of the item!]

[The item [Comfort bed] is owned by the owner!]

[Would you like to store the bed in your personal space?]

Pressing [Yes], I then entered the space again and found the bed still there. Understanding how it functions, I then began to buy more small things before placing them into the [Personal Space!]

After running a few tests, I found a couple of things related to [Personal Space!]

One, I can only store things that I own. If I try storing something that I don't own, it automatically gets thrown out of the space.

Two, I can move an item into the space even if I don't own it. But if there is anything like a herb or potion and I drink it, the effects get reversed when I move out of the [Personal Space]

Three, time outside does not pass when I am in the [Personal Space]

Four, [Personal Space] can be used like an inventory, so I pretty much do not need my ring.. But still I will carry it just for the show.

Finally five, I cannot [Save] even if I sleep in the [Personal Space]. It doesn't even help with fatigue, as it simply reverts my body back to how I was before I entered it.

And all of the above, except the [Inventory] thing, were the same for [Freestyle] as well.

"Now that is all done, let's try the dungeon and raise our level to at least 30," I thought as I moved towards the low level dungeon, about 120 Kilometers North from this city.
