Setting Out.

[Ace POV],

'Ugh'

I groaned as I slowly opened my eyes to see myself in a dimly lit and slightly unfamiliar room.

'Where am I?' I thought before I realized that I had unknowingly fallen asleep in my new room.

With this thought in mind, I got off my bed and made my way out of the room to see a big bird-looking crow setting its gaze on me just after I got out of the room.

'Hi' I said as I ignored it after and made my way up the stairs to the surface which was the living room.

It was still quite dark so I had to light up my surroundings with my hand coated in blue flames.

Looking at the bulbs that were placed on both sides on the way, I knew this issue of the mansion being dark and some other things could be taken care of if I could provide the mansion with energy.

From the information I got from the primordial chronicle when I took ownership of the magic building, this energy, or rather, the energy that the magic building runs on is actually mana but the mana in crystal cores.

This means the magic building runs on the mana of ranked creatures that is stored in crystal cores.

The reason it's called energy and not mana is that the magic building converts the mana to something else instead by changing the property of mana to a different energy it could use but the issue is that the crystal cores required for the magic building to even use its basic functions are one that should come from a level 35 specie and a level 35 creature was something I couldn't contend with right now.

This means that the magic building will have to stay in an inactive state for quite a while.

As I thought of these things, I finally made my way to the surface which was the living room as my surroundings became a little brighter than it was down the stairs.

Seeing this, I took a little walk around and found that apart from me, no one else was awake.

This was a little understandable since everyone was quite tired.

My waking up was due to habits I would rather not have now but since I had woken up already, I couldn't go back to sleep again, I had to set out as it was already a new day.

Well, a new day in the alternate dimension.

Perhaps it might still be afternoon in the true world outside.

I don't know the time difference between both worlds so I can't tell.

As I thought of these things, I went back to the living room and started Removing every foodstuff I had in my storage ring.

Even with the big living room, when a load of foodstuffs was scattered around, the space available appeared to be little.

I of course left some foodstuffs for myself as a sort of ration to say and my decision to remove these foodstuffs in front of me was because since we already have a place to say, there was no need for me to keep holding up to them.

Doing this was unnecessary and at the same time, the food will just be taking up a lot of needed space in my storage ring.

It was because of these reasons and others I decided to offload the loads I deemed unnecessary in the living room.

I also dropped the clothes that were in my storage ring also.

I decided on the living room since it was a location my teammates were very likely to pass for different reasons.

One was that Anna crow was still down there.

Of course, she could summon the crow to her side without needing to go down to the basement but there was still a possibility that she would still pass here.

As I thought of these things, I left the Mansion after I was finally through with what I was doing and made my way to the waterfall not far from the mansion.

I needed to take a bath before heading out and because the magic building lacked the energy to generate water itself, my only option left was to use the water by the waterfall and looking at the sky and the weather, it appeared that the time now was roughly around to 6am so it was still quite early.

I really wonder how this world operates.

As I thought of this, I finally reached the waterfall just to see Emma sitting on a rock not far from the water.

Since I met no one moving in the mansion and all the doors were closed, I assumed everyone was still sleeping but it appears that Emma woke up even earlier than me.

As I thought of this, I walked closer to Emma who turned to look at me just when I got close as she smiled at me before speaking.

"Good morning Ace", she said as I turned to take a seat beside her before replying.

"Good morning", I replied and added; "you woke up early"

Hearing what I said, Emma's smile slowly disappeared as she turned to look at the waterfall beside us before she hugged her legs.

This continued for a few more seconds as we were both quiet as no one spoke.

It was only a while later did Emma open her mouth to speak.

"I couldn't sleep", she started and added; "I kept dreaming of the scene where my parents died"

After saying this, she kept quiet before turning to look at me before speaking.

"Let's leave this sad topic," she said and added; "Can I ask a question?"
