Book 5: Chapter 91: Secrets Unraveled

Scarlet

Neither Tar nor I end up getting any real ideas about what Titanias main magic was before the next question comes around. And then the next. And the next.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

After the first couple questions, the rest feel like they go by a lot faster. And each one is something that is not common knowledge already.

A question about how old exactly the System is.

One about where the idea for the System came from, which turns out to actually be another world that is more advanced than Earth in technology.

Another question about whats powering the System. One whose answer shocks everyone as its not just the life energy of those killed within the System.

Its a dragons core and the Farshore itself.

The faes realm.

Then theres the question of how void creatures are classified by the System.

That theyre actually given a unique identify result to mark them when they arent from a corrupted Fracture. And that they dont give EXP to those who kill them.

And the seventh question is how long ago Titania first thought to create the System. Which no one manages to answer correctly, since as it turns out, it was so long ago that Gramps wasnt even born by then. The oldest living demon or human.

According to Nyx, it was when Titania first learned about what was happening in the void with the void creatures.

Almost three thousand years ago.

The eighth question turns out to be about whether or not the void creatures have skills. Which is a simple yes or no question, so pretty much everyone gets that one. Since its just a process of guessing. What with everyone having two tries to answer it.

With the answer itself being a no.

To my and everyone elses surprise, Nyxs form suddenly begins to blur.

Wait, what?

Then another black dragon just like her appears somewhere else in the hall that looks exactly like Nyx.

The audience immediately grows silent. And the silence stretches on and on as Nyxs form continues to blur.

After a few seconds of this absolute and rather eerie silence, Nyxs voice returns, This last question is a rather odd one. But at the same time, it may make a lot of you question whats been going on this entire competition.

My eyes begin to narrow as I try to rise from my seat, only to surprisingly find a powerful force pushing me down and keeping me in place.

I scowl at Nyx, who Im really beginning to wonder if is actually Nyx. Especially considering the second Nyx who appeared.

Nyx goes silent again for several seconds before she begins to float up into the air, her form blurring more and more.

Now, on to the question itself, she continues. Meanwhile her blurred form begins to shrink down from the size of a miniature dragon to a much smaller yet still too blurry to tell what is size. Its a question about the creator of the System herself.

Her form continues to morph and blur and shift until it finally starts solidifying into a surprising form. One that isnt a dragon.

She ends up in a blurred form of a relatively human sized humanoid with what look like very thin wings from her back. But shes still blurry, so its hard to tell.

The question is, Nyx says before her form suddenly solidifies completely, no longer blurry as shes revealed as what looks like a fairy. One with long and flowing red and black hair, red and black eyes, and two damn-near paper-thin wings fluttering behind her while she wears a pitch black dress. A dress that flutters in the air just like her hair. When did the creator of the System die?

The silence stretches on as everyone stares at her without making so much as a sound.

Huh.

Guess I know now why Ive felt something was off about her ever since coming back.
