Chapter 29: Mountain King’s Axe


Thirteen slept well, skipping dinner and waking up at four in the morning.

The moment he opened his eyes, he found himself lying on a soft and very comfortable bed.

He was asleep for nearly sixteen hours straight, and he woke up feeling refreshed and invigorated.

The boy then propped himself up and sat cross-legged on top of his bed.

Now that his head was free from the haze of being drunk, he tried to recall the memories of the party to check whether he had been able to look at it with an objective mind.

As a system, Thirteen's memory was impeccable. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he had an Eidetic memory, which meant that he could recall things with high precision and accuracy.

Everything he did was planned.

He could have easily landed a blow on Terence's body and won their spar, earning him the reward that was promised of him.

However, he didn't do that.

He had used a more drastic method instead in order to test something, and his method worked wonders. Because of this, he was able to gauge that there was someone in the Leventis Family who would come to stop him.

Thirteen knew that Arthur wouldn't bat an eye even if his knives were to pierce Terence's body. Fortunately, his cousin was saved because his Uncle moved in to stop him, giving the five-year-old a more favorable opinion of his father's family.

"I guess there are still a few decent people in the Leventis Family," Thirteen muttered as he remembered his prim-and-proper-looking Uncle, who served as his Grandfather's right-hand man.

Since he was already awake, Thirteen left his bed and walked toward the balcony.

The surroundings were still dark, but the boy didn't think much of it.

He started to take slow and deep breaths in order to relax his body. He then initiated the 24 Forms of Tai Chi.

After doing this every day, the boy already strengthened his body's flexibility.

His movements were fluid as he executed each form with a serious expression on his face.

When he was done, he repeated the same forms from the beginning.

Despite the chilly morning air, his body was starting to warm up, and it made him feel good.

Just as he was about to finish his forms, he sensed a presence looking at him from a distance. Follow current novels on novelb((in).(com)

However, Thirteen didn't look in that direction. He simply started some breathing techniques, not paying attention to whoever it was that was watching him.

A few minutes later, he exhaled a long breath, completing his morning routine.

Suddenly, the presence that had been watching him for a while appeared beside him, making the five-year-old look at his right side.

If he could inscribe Rune Magic into the items gained in Solterra, not only would they become more powerful, but it could also open up another possibility for him.

However, in order to be sure, he would first need to consult the Laplace Demon and ask whether he was allowed to do what was on his mind.

If Thirteen could imbue a weapon with more abilities, then he could sell them in Auction Houses, allowing his family to gain a lot of money.

Since they were cut off from the Leventis Family, their family funds could only be gained through completing Quests, as well as going on Expeditions in Solterra.

While he was thinking of this money-making opportunity, Thirteen's gaze landed on a particular axe with intricate designs, making it look like a precious relic instead of a weapon.

But a frown appeared on his face after reading the information listed on its display case.

'It's almost perfect,' Thirteen thought. 'But, there is one big problem.'

The boy looked at the bottom of the information on the Silver Grade Weapon, which made him scratch his head.

—————

< Mountain King's Axe >

Rank: Mid Silver-Grade

Active Abilities: Echo Slam, Mountain Splitter

Passive Abilities: Sharpness, Auto Repair, Aura of Protection

Weight: 900 kg

—————

The axe weighed nearly a ton, and it was almost impossible for Thirteen's brother, Mikhail, to wield it.

In fact, he believed that only those of the Grandmaster or Champion Rank who specialized in strength could use this weapon.

This was also why no one from the Leventis Family had taken the axe out of the treasury. There was simply no one in that age range who could wield it.

After careful consideration, Thirteen steeled his resolve and looked at his Uncle with a determined look on his face.

"Uncle, I'm taking this axe," Thirteen said, making Michael raise an eyebrow because of his choice.

"Understood," Michael replied. "I will have it packed and sent to your residence later this afternoon."

Michael had to admit that his nephew's choice surprised him.

However, he still thought that Thirteen made the wrong decision in picking the axe that no one had been able to wield ever since it had been acquired by the members of the Leventis Family.
