Chapter 53: [Alert!!]

Everything became dark around. Xin fainted on the ground due to over exhaustion and energy depletion. Daisy was in hibernation mode to conserve the last ounce of energy inside Xin. Everyone was sleeping due to the effect of the Second Wave (Dai ni Nami). No one was around to take care of Xin.

Some hours later, movements became visible on Xin's body. He was trying to clench his fists and gather some strength to wake up from his dream. His eyes were closed, and he was stuck in a dream induced by the effect of the Second Wave (Dai ni Nami).

Xin inside his dream~

Everything was dark around. Not a single thing was visible in his dreamland. All he could see was an expansion of darkness around him. He had no idea what that place was and where he was going.

Xin was just moving here and there in search of an exit. He was getting a feeling the more time he spends there, the more he would be haunted by something terrible.

He was trying to escape that place as soon as possible, but no exit was there to his misery. All he could find was darkness, darkness, and darkness around him.

Suddenly, his body stiffened, and an old memory emerged in his mind. It was the memory of his first betrayal at the age of twenty.

Like the other days that day, too, he woke up in the morning, completed his assignment, and set out for school. On his way, he saw many students were staring at him and gossiping something among themselves. The Xin from the magical world didn't know what they were talking about, nor was he interested to know.

He knew many students were jealous and envious of his excellent magic skill. He was the top student of his academy, having the best skills and magic power. He was only missing two things in his student life. One was connections, and the other was financial support. Being a kid from a middle-class family, his financial status was not that good.

He was getting by on all expenses using the money of his university scholarship. And for connections, he had not a single connection at all, not to any powerful families nor to any famous pavilions. All he knew was Professor Han and the principal of that academy. These two were the only persons in his life who used to help him in time of his needs. Be it a financial crisis or any other crisis, these two never backed off and helped him in whatever way possible.

After walking for another half an hour, Xin took a bus and reached his destination, the Xeon University of magiculus and research. One of the best educational institutes of the nation that produces extremely meticulous students for the country.

Xin went near the main gate of his university and saw a huge crowd gathered there. It was unusual for such a big group to gather near the main entrance. He was well aware that the guards wouldn't have let the students do as they wish unless it's a top-level executive of the institution or a figure from any powerful family.

Xin made his way through masses and reached near the center of attraction of that crowd. Before him was a tall figure with bulging-out muscles and a girl with long slender legs. Xin was able to see their figures but not able to see their faces. For some reason, their faces were blurred. Xin tried to widen his eyes and had a clear look at them. But to his dismay, he wasn't able to do so. As long as he remembered he had neither myopia nor hypermetropia, 'then what could be the reason for my blurred vision?'

Xin pondered for a while and thought of using an eye technique to recognize those face's owner. He was getting ready to use that technique when suddenly his heartbeat began to rise. An enormous aura got him by surprise. His body was trembling in fear and while his mind was filled with murderous intentions.

Out of nowhere, the system window popped up before him, obstructing his entire vision.

When Xin opened his eyes, he found himself in the same black space as before. Nothing was around him, and all he could see was an expansion of darkness.

Xin saw the progress of construction and shouted out, "What?! When did the process start?!"

"When you were unconscious, master," Daisy answered in an instant.

Xin looked around his surroundings and asked, "I am still unconscious, I think. I mean, look at this space around me. You are understanding what I wanted to say, right?"

"Yes, master. I can understand. I can help you escape from this place. But that's not the main issue now. Your vessel construction has already exceeded 90%, and it's pretty much impossible now to make a SSS grade vessel, using your mental energy."

"Mhm… I know that. Let me check its condition."

Xin closed his eyes and tried to sense his vessel construction, the place below his stomach and above his abdomen. The drop that he had integrated before had already vanished, and a ball-shaped vessel was forming inside his body. A spherical vessel is not the worst type, but at the same time, it's not the best type.

It was ranked pretty average in the world of magic. Not so good, yet not so bad.
