Chapter 9: A Personage Descends

Noah left his apartment complex feeling full of power and strength as he went in a different direction than usual.

He wasn't going towards the direction of Blessed Academy, but further into the Academy City where one could find another Iron Rank Dimensional Rift- The Frozen Forest!

After achieving Peak Iron Rank in a day from the Idle Mode of a single Rift, Noah planned to add as many other Rifts as he could in the foreseeable future so he could enjoy even more abundant rewards.

The earlier the better really was too true for him, as the rewards he could get exponentially rising whenever he was able to add another Rift!

He also needed to go clear the Burning Domains Rift once more to get an even faster clear time that would cause his Loot Resources to collect even more rapidly.

He walked with large strides through the bustling streets of Academy City as he felt like a giant among men, his eyes being able to see even more as every breath he took felt like powerful billowing flames!

This was the feeling of power that Peak Iron Rank gave him, his heart feeling excited when he thought about breaking through into the Bronze Rank.

The streets around him were filled with majestic looking animals pulling carriages, and one could even see floating vehicles that released a blue glow below as they sped past everything.

It was commonplace in Academy City to observe the combination of technology and magic as there were many large organizations researching the use of Cores and incorporating them into daily lives.

As Noah moved across the bustling streets, he found a congestion of beings up front as each of them seemed to be pointing towards the skies while speaking in amazed tones.

"Is it really true? The 5th Ethereal Princess will be visiting Academy City for the next few weeks?"

"That's the Edict that high ranking Blessed heard, it's about to be a tumultuous next few weeks in Academy City!"

Noah's ears caught the hushed words of amazes Blessed as his eyes also turned towards the skies, noticing a majestic vessel floating above the tall buildings of the Academy City.

Only those with true power and status could do such a thing, and the being on the vessel had a tremendous status as she was the 5th Ethereal Princess of the Ethereal Realm!

She was the daughter of the powerful being that stood at the peak of power in the Ethereal Realm, the Royalty that made all the rules and laws of this Realm.

The will of such a being was inviolable as seeing his Descendants away from the Imperial City was truly a rare sight.

The Ethereal Realm was extremely vast as it held within it enormous clusters of land that were divided into three Continents.

There was the Light Continent, the Dark Continent, and the Wild Continent!

The Light and Dark Continents were connected by land while the far away Wild Continent was separated from the two by an expansive sea.

The Ethereal Emperor's power began in the Imperial City of the Light Continent, his influence stretching to the Dark and Wild Continents as when he rose to the peak of power and was crowned as the Emperor of the Realm, not a single person had been powerful enough to oppose him.

Our story had only begun as it took place in the small city-state that was Academy City located in the Light Continent, and the unexpected sight of an important personage that had left the Imperial City and graced the Academy City with their presence occurred.

Noah recalled all the information he could from the mind of the body he was occupying as he stared with shining eyes towards the enormous Vessel that had begun descending down from its high position.

THRUUUM!

It released a powerful sound as it looked like a floating ship one would only ever see out of the wildest fantasy.

The important personages within became visible as the vessel neared the ground, Noah being among the many specks of nobodies whose eyes were pulled towards a shocking image.

It was the scene of a ridiculously beautiful silver haired girl stepping out from the vessel, her left and right sides bounded by powerful looking Blessed that released a wondrous silver color from their bodies!

Silver Rank!

The 5th Ethereal Princess stepping out of the vessel was actually accompanied by numerous Silver Ranked Blessed as guards, her face keeping a gorgeous smile as she stepped on the streets of Academy City and went towards the entrance of a huge skyscraper that had golden words lining it up- The Golden Phoenix Auction House.

Noah felt his eyes blazing with light as he watched the scene of a singular being escorted by Blessed that were powerfully in the Silver Rank.

Such was status!

Such was the true power in this Realm!

Even the Silver Ranked Guards that flanked the 5th Ethereal Princess truly had no need to do so as it was a mere formality.

This was because within the Ethereal Realm, the power of the personage at the very top was absolute.

Not a single being would dare even have an idea of lifting their hands to this personage's descendants!

'Ah…'

Noah thought wistfully about the power and prestige such beings held as he shook his head.

He lived in an entirely different world than these powerful beings that had just their guards be multiple times more powerful than him!

He wouldn't think about them too much at this point, as he might never even enter their playing field. If his strength happened to rise to a great degree in the coming days and months as he became confident enough to protect his little life, only then would he entertain such an idea.

For now, would play with his Idle Gaming System as he collected Loot every day and see if he could get much stronger than he currently was.

His eyes lingered on the gorgeous 5th Ethereal Princess and her shocking escort just a bit longer as she entered The Golden Phoenix Auction House, shaking his head as he began moving away from the crowd of watching people.

He had a Dimensional Rift to clear!
