Chapter 162 - Meet-up

Tyrance entered the restaurant and spoke loudly, "Aren!"

"Oof, brother, you don't need to shout," Vini entered inside and frowned before she looked at everyone in the restaurant.

People in the restaurant looked at Tyrance after hearing his shout, and Aren was also startled hearing the familiar voice as he turned around.

"Tyrance?"

"Haha, my good brother, we met again sooner than expected," Tyrance laughed as he approached Aren and sat down at the table.

The table was rectangular and was single-seat couch-oriented with a total of four couches.

Vini and Alfred also arrived, and after seeing that, the waiter nearby extended the table by pressing a switch at the corner of a table. A faint pattern appeared on the left side of the table before it was extended by one and a half meters.

Afterward, the waiter took out two couches from his inventory and put them on both sides of the table.

Vini sat beside Tyrance while Alfred sat beside Jin.

Aren introduced Jin and Konish to Tyrance, while Tyrnace introduced Vini to Aren.

Vini turned out to be Tyrance's fiancé.

"So, weren't you going back to the kingdom?" Aren asked.

"Eh, yeah. First, I went to breakthrough to become Supreme lifeform and then was going to return, but Alfred got the news of this tournament, so I decided to arrive here and participate. I was also going to find you using that token and bring you here today, but when I checked the token, I found that you were nearby, hahaha," Tyrance said.

"I see," Aren nodded before smiling, "well, congrats, now you can finally use the full power of your path."

"Hehe, yep," Tyrance said with a beaming smile.

"So, Tyrnace, which kingdom are you from?" Konish asked with a smile.

"I am from the Tyr Kingdom in Marion Continent," Tyrance said with a grin.

"Tyr Kingdom? The one that rapidly rose to prominence 18 years ago?" Jin and Konish were startled, "do you know about Grand Elder Spiralfrost? Have you met her?"

Hearing that, Tyrance and Vini looked at each other and grinned.

"Ahem, actually, Tyrance is the prince of that kingdom," Aren said with a wry smile.

Alfred smiled as he took a sip from the teacup, "Grand Elder Spiralfrost is Prince Tyrance and Princess Vini's grandmother. So obviously, they would have met her."

Konish and Jin were shocked.

Aren didn't know why they asked about Grand Elder Spiralfrost, but if she was Tyrance's grandmother, she should be a Mythical lifeform since Tyrance told him that his grandmother was one.

"Grand Elder Spiralfrost...," Konish muttered before he sighed, "19 years ago, she appeared out of nowhere and wreaked havoc. Previously unranked, she directly rose to 8th rank in Mythical rankings and even founded the Tyr Kingdom."

"Yep," Tyrance said with a proud voice, "that's my grandmother."

"What about you two? Where are you from?" Vini asked.

...

Afterward, Aren and others talked for a while, and after they finished eating, they left the restaurant.

"Tyrance, you three are staying in an Inn?" Jin asked.

"Yep," Tyrance nodded, "we are going to reserve our rooms in an Inn. Aren, did you reserve yours yet?"

Before Aren could answer, Konish said with a smile, "no need to book that. We have a three-story big house with seven rooms, two halls, and one training ground; let's just go there."

"If that's the case, then let's go there," Aren nodded. A private residence was the best choice for him to do his things.

"Alright, are you fine with that, Vini?" Tyrance nodded before asking his fiancé, Vini.

"I am fine with that," Vini nodded with a smile, "I also want to spar with them, hehe."

...

After five minutes of walking, they arrived at the residence of Konish and Jin.

"I'll have to excuse myself since I want to finish some training alone," Aren said with a smile before looking at Konish, "can you show me my room?"

"It's fine. As for the room, you can just pick any room you like; all of them have more than necessary furniture," Jin said with a grin.

"Alright," Aren nodded.

"Once you are finished, come to the training ground," Tyrance said, "hehe, we can have one more duel. This time, let's see who wins."

...

Aren just entered a random room on the first floor and took out two boxes.

A skill box containing a random skill related to the Lost Ancient dungeon. (A-SS)

A box containing a random grade force level 2 Spirit stone.

Afterward, he took out [Fortuna Infortunium] revolver and shot a wisp bullet in his head after infusing 1000 Armalist force into the revolver.

-----

[Aren]

-Lifespan: 300

-Luck: 39

-----

"Thirty-nine...," Aren muttered before opening the skill box. Thirty-nine was above average luck, so he decided to open the skill box with it.

After opening the box, Aren saw a skill stone sparkling with dark-green patterns inside it.

He looked at it and got information about it through Astral-X eyes.

"Useless to me. Guess I can only sell it," Aren spoke as he sighed before shooting his head with another wisp bullet.

He then looked at his luck stats, and it had turned to 0. Afterward, he shot another wisp bullet at his head.

-Luck: -19

"Minus...," Aren wryly smiled as he took out a black stone and stone cutter tool before opening it.

*piiiiiiich...*

A black ink released from the stone right after he cut it, turning his face into pitch black.

"Damn...," Aren muttered before standing up, entering the bathroom, and cleaning his face. He also cleaned his leather armor since it was stained a bit. However, when he looked in the mirror, he found out that his face had stayed black even though he had cleaned off the ink.

"No way!" Aren was startled and rubbed his face strongly, but the color of his face didn't change one bit.

"Fuck...."
