Chapter 917 The Awkward Awakening

?As Reign drifted into unconsciousness, the cavern echoed with the whispers of the aftermath. The collapsed mountain, now silent, served as a testament to the clash of forces that had transpired within. The angels, who had left when Quin arrived, were staring down at them from outside of the world, taking a final glance before leaving.

Meanwhile, far away from the world, in a space where Quin had stopped and made his existence known to the system, the digital representation flickered with a calculated glow. The consequences of Quin's intervention were being processed, and the threads of fate were realigning themselves.

Quin, who had erased his presence previously in order to get away from the annoying system, found himself in a space beyond time. He gazed into the fabric of existence, pondering the intricate dance of destiny that was present in front of him. Despite his nonchalant demeanor, there was a contemplative gleam in his piercing blue eyes.

"Hey, didn't I already tell you to get away?" Quin asked the system but gained no response.

"You know, you are starting to really annoy me now, should I go and kill some of the favored children of destiny you choose to pass the time and have some fun?"

The system's form wavered, a complex amalgamation of algorithms trying to comprehend Quin's unpredictable nature.

[ You tread a fine line, Angel of Death. ]

[ Do not overstep it. ]

"Hahahahaha, why, are you going to try and kill me if I do?" Quin laughed heartily before sighing.

"You have tried to do so plenty of times in the past, we both know how it will end, so please, don't try to intimidate me."

"The next time you do so, I will really go looking for some of your 'favored', and perhaps I might even ask my teacher to join me." N♡vεlB¡n: Unleashing Imagination, One Read at a Time.

"It has been a long time since he has done such a thing, would you like to be reminded how it felt, to have those you favored so much be hunted down, their lives ended, their destinies st-"

Before Quin could finish, ripples appeared around him, the space itself changed and a tremendous amount of power was shown as some planets started shaking before crumbling to dust.

"Ah, there we go," Quin said with a chuckle.

"Let me see how well you can keep up!"

And just like that, far away from any life forms and any civilizations, a battle that shook star systems took place, without a single person present to witness it.

Well, except for one, who was shaking his head and sighing.

"I was definitely wrong, he didn't change a single bit, still causing so much trouble."

"Thankfully, he's all grown up, he doesn't need me to go save his ass anymore," Raziel said as he stopped observing what Quin was doing and went back to what Reign was doing.

After a couple of days, Reign slowly opened his eyes to find himself in a clean, well-lit room within the royal palace of the Irason Kingdom. He knew it was the royal palace as he had been here before, it was the room he had stayed in the first couple of days he was in the kingdom, and it still had some of the things he had left in it.

Compared to before, however, the room was a bit different. It had been transformed into something more akin to a hospital room, and he could see plenty of magic devices that were placed on him.

The sterile scent of medical herbs lingered in the air, and the soft hum of healing magic enveloped him. As he tried to sit up, he noticed that the pain that had once wracked his body had significantly diminished.

"Those damned doctors, they had no clue that your condition was already much better because of us back when you arrived."

"Had it not been for me burning some souls in order to give your body nourishment, and Jared using that medicine from that little base, you would have been in a much worse state."

"Medicine?" Reign asked as Jared nodded.

"The base is equipped with a fully functioning clinic, one that you can of course use."

"I took the liberty of running some tests in it and giving you some medicine when those doctors were not present."

"I have to admit, compared to the clinic, their capabilities were much worse."

"I see, well, thanks, Jared."

"I am only doing what is expected of me, Master," Jared said as he slightly bowed while Aethion scowled.

"And don't misunderstand, I used the souls to heal you because your dying means I die as well, and I have no plans of dying yet, kid."

"Got it, thanks anyway." Reign said as he knew that Aethion did care, but couldn't show it.

It was quite an unexpected side of Aethion that he never knew existed. Perhaps the old Necromancer was mellowing a bit?

It was then that the door of the room opened and Mia entered, bringing a bottle of something.

"More medicine, drink it up," Mia said as Reign took the small bottle before chugging it down.

"That tastes godawful." Reign said as his face changed a bit after tasting the bitter medicine.

"Well, you know what they say, the worse the taste, the healthier for you," Mia said with a smirk before widening her eyes a bit as Reign got up from the bed.

"I can't continue lying down like this, I feel good now anyway."

"Yeah, but Reign-"

"No, I mean it, I'm fine, I mean look, I can move around perfectly well." Reign said before walking around, jumping around, and even doing a front flip.

"Reign, you're-"

"I'm fine Mia."

"Master, you are naked, completely naked, with no clothes on you at all," Jared said with a stoic voice before Aethion chimed in as well.

"You're flashing the poor girl kid."

It was then that Reign glanced down, and lo and behold, he truly was naked.

As naked as the day he was born.

Nothing was on him, and he was only now noticing the blush on Mia's face. She was already averting her gaze, and now it was Reign's turn to blush as well.
