Rebirth: Tyrant's New Reality

"Did something happen? Also, what is this place?" Meya curiously asked as she stood up and looked around the big bedroom.

Arkhen created a dress for Meya using a reality mote and gave it to her before saying, "Wear this and wait."

After saying that, Arkhen disappeared from the bedroom and returned outside to the Duke palace\'s room.

Arkhen knew that since the enemy was an assassin and came sneakily, he could escape. As such, right after he returned to the bed, he activated his Purple-Star wings, empowered them, zoomed forward as he broke the door, and came out of the room.

Hearing such a commotion caused by Arkhen breaking the door, all servants were alerted, and the elite guards who sensed energy readings also moved quickly.

The assassin, who was staying in the shadow of a small tree in the balcony garden was stunned. \'How come an ant at 1st-class sensed my presence?\'

Although confused, the assassin knew his plan had failed now that he was discovered and quickly escaped.

He was a hired assassin, and his life was more important than his job. As a solo assassin, he must secure his escape first before completing his task. Since his target noticed him, then his assassination already failed.

After all, An assassin is one who kills silently, without even letting their prey know who killed them or how they died, and quickly escapes. Getting caught would be the biggest shame of an assassin.

\'I\'ll get him next time.\' Thinking this, the assassin quietly left before the elite guards could find him with some searching skills.

…

"Are you sure?" the Elite guard asked. He was a middle-aged man wearing long leather boots, wore leather armor, and a sword at his waist.

"I am sure," Arkhen nodded with a solemn expression and spouted bull shit. "I have a unique talent where I can sense presence with malicious intent in the surrounding."

"Where is lady Meya?"

​ "She is in the room."

\'Velshi, can you send Meya directly to her room from Mystic Wonderland?\'

[That will be forceful teleportation since it would be outside of your range or taking people out of Mystic World. But since the teleportation is very near, in her room, which is approximately fifteen meters away, It will only cost 748 reality motes if she doesn\'t resist and will take three seconds of prep time].

\'Sigh… do it.\'

…

Meya had worn the dress and was waiting in the bedroom while looking out of the window of the 10th floor curiously. But suddenly, she felt a unique power enveloping her. She knew it was likely related to Arkhen, so she didn\'t resist.

Three seconds later, she disappeared and appeared in her room. "Damn, how does Arkhen do these kinds of things?" Meya muttered in wonder. "In that place too… He somehow got the necklace and turned the situation around."

Soon, she heard the sound of knocking and went to open the door.

Arkhen and two elite guards were standing out.

"Lady Meya. It seems that you are fine."

The guards sighed a relief after seeing her, and after talking a bit, they left to petrol around the Duke\'s palace to traces of the infiltrator if possible.

On the other hand, Meya grabbed Arkhen\'s hand and invited him to her room before asking as she blinked her eyes curiously, "So what was that place? I could see from the window that it was a vast world."

"That is my secret world that only I access," Arkhen said with a smile before his expression turned rueful. "Anyway, it seems I am being targeted. That assassin was most likely after my life, not yours."

"It should be that bastard! He still has his faction, and his faction still has some wealth and power. Since you foiled his plan, he must have wanted to get rid of you since it\'s easier to kill you than us."

A cold glint passed through Arkhen\'s eyes. It\'s only been roughly a week since he ascended in this 1st realm, so he was not that powerful, but he wanted to get strong quickly.

[Worry not, my lord. I am sure you will quickly get strong here as well].

\'But for now, I don\'t want to be targeted every time I go out. That trash needs to die,\' Arkhen thought before he looked at Meya and asked, "When will this matter get resolved?"

"It\'s almost resolved," Meya said with a wry smile. "They are just doing last-stand revenge by sending people to kill you and might even send after me and brother."

Meya looked around before whispering, "Don\'t tell anyone, but the plan is to kill them secretly. The house of Melioth is already no longer a Duke house, but since they had some loyal people, we are experiencing trouble. However, that will be over soon in a few days."

"Oh? Then good," Arkhen nodded before he muttered. "Then there will be another trouble coming that I need to handle."

"Another trouble?" Meya asked as she heard Arkhen\'s murmur.

"Nothing," Arkhen said as he shook his head.

\'Velshi, how long until she arrives here?\'

[Roughly one day and a few hours].

\'Alright. Then I also better breakthrough to the 2nd-class.\'

"You want to break through to the 2nd class, right?" Meya asked with a smiling expression. She could feel that Arkhen\'s soul power was sufficiently strong, so he must\'ve wanted to break through.

"Yep. So, I am going back to my room."

"And I am coming with you, of course. After that, we can spar, hehe."

…

After they returned to Arkhen\'s room, Arkhen sat in meditation while Meya sat on a wide swing set in the garden and watched Arkhen.

Arkhen triggered his breakthrough and felt resonance in the firmament of stars where his Ravenous Sirius Empyrean Star started glowing slightly.

A mystical power enveloped Arkhen before his consciousness traveled into a mysterious place on a grassy cliff with a small water pond and some trees.

Arriving there, Arkhen officially entered into the state of enlightenment and started creating his skill. This process would go according to one\'s desires on what kind of skill they wanted, what they were good at, their affinities, and such factors because they would receive epiphany related to such things to create the skill.

…

"So, he started…" Meya said with a soft giggle as she jumped off the swing and arrived in front of Arkhen. She knew that since Arkhen entered the state of enlightenment, it was impossible to disturb him. As such, she sat on his lap, wrapped her arms around his neck… and kissed him quickly.

\'If only he kissed me back, how good would it feel?\' Meya wondered with a flushed expression and quickly shook her head before hugging Arkhen and taking a deep breath. Yes, this was it. She felt very good in contact with Arkhen!

Alas… Meya didn\'t know that someone just saw what she did.

Below the balcony, in the periphery of the palace, one of the elite guards was patrolling and used his scouting skill, the <Horus Eye> to look for all sorts of traces.

Since Arkhen said that the assassin was in his room\'s balcony garden, the elite guard controlled his Horus Eye to look for traces there and caught Meya in the act.

\'Lady Meye and Arkhen-dono? Wait, wait, wait… It seems that Lady Meya is after Arkhen-dono while he doesn\'t know about her acts because he is breaking through,\' the Elite guard thought with a stunned expression. \'But if Arkhen-dono knows Lady Meya\'s feelings, I doubt he would reject her. Alas, will her parents agree to their relationship?\'

The elite guard wryly smiled before shaking his head, \'Fuck it… I\'ll pretend I didn\'t see anything.\'
