Chapter 40 The Measurement Room

The measurement room was a room made by wood from the outside, just a small room, enough for one person to enter but on the inside it was all like a universe full of distant stars that sent its reflection from a far.

​ A small room that contained a whole new world that no one knew how to describe, the sky was just a sky nothing more.Not like on earth when scientists had their attempts to discover space.

People in Delwias Island lived in fear and poverty and a constant desire to level up instead of living there and improve their lives in this place.

They could have been living a good life here, but they all chose to go upthere, where life is already very comfortable and easy.

The responsible mage called Ethyl by her code number and she walked toward the room with a smile on her face, the moment she entered that room she trembled for a second, but she got herself together.

Until that moment she was not sure that the portion was going to help her, but she went there anyway.

That didn't last for long, a light that came from all around her reached her for a second, so she was inside that buble without notice.

She didn't pay attention to that, when everything around her looked very vague and beautiful, the light disappeared one minute after and she was shown the place of the door right away, because the moment she entered that room she was not able to see the place of the door.

She went outside shaken, she felt small inside that place, she knew that there is knowledge that was kept secret from them, to her that scene was not random however she couldn't place any category inside of her mind.

The responsible mage said:" Participant number 23, divine energy level is a thousand unit, i expected more looking at your file"

Ethyl smiled widely while heading to the tree she was standing next to before the test. That man saved her for sure, at least her divine energy level is between ten thousand and 20 thousand which is a big amount around here.

She remembered what Linen told her days before this:" Remember, the evaluation test is about to send people there to work for more people in the level above, don't think that leveling up is the key, it is only a first step for the evolution"

Linen and her were not related, and certainly not friends, they just used each other for years, they formed a superficiel connection that lasted more than any other real relationship they had.

Linen was a 26 years old man who was unable to level up due to his lack of divine energy, which led him to get involved with people who got his eyes open on certain things that he didn't pay attention to .

Therefore he just shared that information with Ethyl, not to drag her to join him but to consider her reasoning in those matters.

The more he learnt, the more he was shocked and that's why he always asked for a second opinion and there she was .

Once he told her that the amount of divine energy in Delwias Island is always under five thousand, the only person that got more than that was Lucas, Isiah's brother who ruined this world and after that they didn't even let people with more than 5k units live in the region.

Lucas was the first, the glitch in the matrix and with him everything changed, and this was the reason they sealed Isiah to not use magic .

Linen was against her leveling and even at the last time she saw him he didn't accept that.

They were in her garden, he was sitting on the ground playing with the dog he got her years ago, while she was sitting on the wooden chair there, she was always confident with him, he loved that about her but when she told him that she was going to level up, the air around him changed.

" You know why i want to do it, i should have done it before but now it is a necessity"She said when she saw his stressed features.

" Sometimes i regret enlightening you with that knowledge, with me corrupting your soul you could have been a good girl with a cute gestures and manners, i am like a poison to your fiminin side"

" Did you call me not fiminin, how dare you ? you stupid!"Ethyl yelled at him .

"Don't act like them, or join them no matter what, they would sacrifice you in the first obstacle and you will find yourself fighting on your own, they cannot be trusted, only a fool would trust people like that"Linen said with a serious face.

" I am going with or without your blessing and you know that, you can't control the decisions i make, and you are not strong to stop me "

"Just remember, i told you that leveling up is not the answer"

"To you, because you are weak and you can't level up.''She grinded on her teeth because she knew that she hurted him with her words.

"I am not asking you to stay because i can't level up, i just know that you are trying to be rebellious there, if i knew that you would live there safe and sound i would have been happy for you but …you are a pain in the ass" Linen said with a smile on his face.

Ethyl remembered this conversation the moment she got out of that room, she sighed the moment her eyes met Jivan's.

She didn't think of him as an alie but if it is not for him she would have been locked, sealed, murdered.

Jivan stayed away from her as the participants went to that room one after another, they all passed the test which meant they were all powerful enough to level up but not like her or Jivan.

Both of them were at a higher level, however they succeeded to conceal it from the others.
