Chapter 369: A Hundred Years Ago

"Adrian! Calm down!" Solstice shouted ignoring that she said her brother's real name out loud.

Adrian snapped out of his daze once again thanks to his sister. He then realized that he almost tore the book due to the intense force that he asserted. He suddenly turned his gaze to the system notifications that he got.

[Your soulbound Sirius is feeling intense rage.]

[Due to your soul link, Sirius' rage has become your rage.]

[Your soulbound Sirius is unconsciously trying to assimilate your soul. Be careful as you may lose your sense of self.]

Adrian took a deep breath and told Sirius to calm down via their Soul Link. Adrian told Sirius that it was just a picture and nothing more.

"Did you suddenly go insane due to seeing some pictures?" Solstice asked as she is the only one that can tell Adrian that.

"Sorry about that. My soulbound suddenly lost control of his emotion since the picture in this book made him relive the memories of his childhood." Adrian replied and Duke Lycaon suddenly took interest of this information.

"What is your soulbound that carries intense bloodlust on a picture?" Duke Lycaon asked.

"His name is Sirius, and he is a Demon Wolf. It seems that he was driven out of his home by this beast. The Fenris." Adrian answered which made the Duke of Arkadia come up to him.

"Can I see this soulbound of yours?" The Duke of Arkadia stated in eyes full of anticipation.

"He really likes wolf species monsters very much. Can you please humor him?" Lycan helplessly stated.

"Greater Summon: Sirius!" Adrian stated and Sirius' magic circle appeared on the floor.

Sirius appeared in the material word in all his glory. The Duke of Arcadia truly is a fan of wolf monsters because he has been trying to hold back his tears upon seeing a rare type of wolf species. Duke Lycaon looked at Adrian for permission before touching Sirius and the latter just awkwardly agree.

"Why did Sirius suddenly emit such strong emotion then?" Solstice asked as she knows that strong bouts of emotions is not great for people who experience trauma.

"It is this one. The mythical wolf of legends called Fenris. It is the name of a notorious Fenrir. It seems that Sirius and this wolf go way back. I can only guess because I cannot see Sirius' full memories as it is rather hazy, or he does not want me to see it." Adrian answered.

"If you are referring to the Fenris then I hate to break it to you, but that book has been published a hundred years ago when that wolf of disaster is spotted." The Duke of Arkadia Lycaon stated in a serious tone.

"A hundred years ago? That cannot be! Sirius was still small when I encountered him. It is impossible for him to not even age since that time." Adrian exclaimed.

"Where did you find him anyway?" The Duke of Arkadia asked as he was very curious.

"He was not a Demon Wolf when I encountered him as he was a dog back then. He is my very first soulbound that I got in a pet shop at the Town of Genesis." Adrian answered.

"Hahaha! You are best be joking because there is no town of Genesis in the main world. It is but a fairytale told by the elderlies so that children could fantasize of going on adventures." Duke Lycaon stated as Lycan suddenly whispered something to Adrian.

"It seems that the Town of Genesis is merely a story told by elders as viewed by NPCs. They all act that way when I first told them about the starting town. It seems that it is another universe or realm." Lycan whispered.

Adrian then thought long and hard about the details of the town of Genesis. He wanted to uncover the mystery behind it as why only starting players could access it. There are NPCs there, but they do not treat the players like how the NPCs in the main world treat them.

"Is it possible that the town of Genesis is something like a death realm? The reason that Sirius did not age is due to the fact that he was already dead. I can test that theory when I can perfectly control my Nether Energy. I would use it to travel to the death realms with my physical body." Adrian thought as he wanted to know how Sirius did not age in a hundred years.

"So where was Fenris last spotted?" Adrian asked as this was vital information because he needed to hunt down this world boss.

"He is at the northwest of the main world. In a forest that experiences abrupt change in weather. If you are planning to fight it then I advise you not to because even I am afraid that I will be no match for it." The Duke of Arkadia humbly admitted.

"If we brought a group of five people and above, do we have a chance of subjugating it?" Adrian asked as evolving Sirius is his next priority.

"Even if you have the power to take it down, your group will have to trek into an area with unpredictable weather and fierce beasts. It would take you a month to traverse that forest before managing to find Fenris." The Duke of Arkadia stated which made Adrian think deeply.

"Why don't you hep us first and then we will help you in that quest of yours, okay?" Solstice asked to cheer up Adrian who suddenly became gloomy. She wanted her brother to only enjoy the game and not stress much about it because he does not need more stress in his life right now.

"Fine but promise that you will help me. I really need to take down that world boss. It has the item needed to evolve Sirius into a Fenrir." Adrian stated as he read that Fenris was punished using the Shackle of the Gods to restrict its power due to it wanting destruction.

"Did you just say take down a world boss?" Lycan asked in tone of disbelief as he was consoled by Solstice.
