A few seconds after the incident, a faint smile appeared on Leon's face as he looked towards Yuta, who was slowly sipping his coffee while looking back at Leon.
"So, Yuta, why did you invite us to join the Verselkin Academy? Is there something you want to do?" Leon's voice held a hint of sarcasm as he looked at Yuta, who was leaning back in his chair.
"Nothing important. I just wanted you to have a little rest. You're my friends, and at the same time, the narratives are the path of the ruler, aren't I right?" Yuta's voice was calm as he placed his coffee cup on the table.
He looked at Inuyasha, who had slightly tilted his head towards his left shoulder while looking at Yuta.
"Regarding the narratives, there are still six narratives that haven't appeared yet, including Higomi Fatsi (Nurden), known as the Master of Classifications, the Master of Examinations, the Time of Narrative, Absolute Imagination, and the Dao of Unknown Origin."
"In each path, there are Two possess two main wings: the Descendant and the Narrative Personality. We are the Narrative Fragments. As for the secondary and external wings, no two people share the same type of wing, is that correct? The true foundation exists in an unknown location. However, the true Master of the Exams appeared several times during those secret tunnel exams when addressing Zhao Li and Alessandra. Yet, he only appeared in the third exam in his true form, right?" Inuyasha's voice was calm, a confident smile on his face as he looked towards Yuta, who clapped.
Applause… Applause… Applause
"Yes, you're right. There are five unknown Narrative Fragments left: the Master of the Exams, Narrative Time, Absolute Imagination, and a Dao of Unknown Origin. Their identities are unknown. However, don't worry, they will appear at the right time. For now, take advantage of the next 504 years of rest, even though it will only be 42 years for you. Rest and increase your strength because after that, things will become extremely dangerous. Therefore, it's best to prepare well, for peace doesn't last forever." "The Eternals"
"As for the current 504 years, they will be for preparing for the coming catastrophe. What we have faced or will face in the coming years will only be the prelude to what is to come. Therefore, each of you must be well prepared. Currently, we are in Era 15 of the first chronological order. The era is called the Beginning and the End, and we will move on to Era 1 of the first chronological order. The End is called the Beginning, the Origin, and there are only 600 years left until its end. Therefore, the last 96 years will be filled with the War of the Narrative, or what is called the War of Paths."
"It is a war that occurs every time an era nears its end. However, out of 44 eras divided into 3 phases, only 12 eras have known events, and 32 have had everything related to them erased from existence and the narrative of the world. No being who lived through that era remains except for the Guardians of the Tree of Existence, the Guardians of Paths 27. But even so, that does not mean they remember what happened in them." Yuta's tone was calm. Moreover, he had placed a barrier preventing dangerous information from reaching the ears of those present inside the Ain Sultan restaurant.
"So you are saying that there is something Danger lurks in the shadows, and we are no match for it. So, is there anything mentioned? That book is called "The Greatest Outcast," or perhaps it's currently "Between Building and Destruction." Kazuhiro's voice was calm, filled with curiosity and other, somewhat incomprehensible emotions.
After hearing Kazuhiro's words and seeing everyone's suspicious stares, Yuta tore the book in half to reveal a book with a dark, black cover that absorbed light. It had golden engravings, like veins through which blood flowed. Its title was written in three colors: dark purple, pale gold, and crimson red: "[Between Building and Destruction]."
He opened it and, in a calm voice, began reading the first page, ignoring everyone's stares.
[Between reality and imagination, between existence and non-existence, lies a line as thin as a hair. But once crossed, there is no turning back. Life is beautiful, and existence is a treasure for those who have lost it. One does not know the value of something until one loses it. Power is absolute, or the pinnacle of power. Nothing is constant, nor is anything cheap. Everything has a price, even dreams. To achieve them, one must...] [Paying a heavy price for their achievement]
[Sometimes the most beautiful things are the shortest, not the longest. Whoever desires power must bear its price, whoever desires knowledge must bear its burden, whoever desires authority must bear the weight of its responsibility, whoever desires adventure must bear its risks, and whoever wants to do anything must bear its consequences, good or bad. One must bear the risks that entails.]
[However, sometimes power is more of a punishment than a blessing, and authority is more of a curse than an advantage. Nothing is entirely good or entirely bad. The world is neither white nor black, neither harsh nor soft; it is a mixture of soft white and harsh black, hence a muted gray.]
[In this world, there is the known and the hidden, the good and the bad, the beneficial and the dangerous. Yet, everything complements another. A sacred writer, a supreme overseer, a cosmic judge—the writer, the examiner, the critic—decides who remains and who is erased. The Book of Infinite Stories resides in a higher palace where the origins converge. Fifteen are known as the Great Outcast and the Supreme Narratives.]
Yuta closed the book slowly, then... Returning to his safe place within a dimension separate from his own existence and non-existence,
he turned his gaze towards Gowther, Leon, Nicholas, Kazuhiro, Christian, and Inuyasha.
"Didn't it change? It was mentioned on the first page. I remember it said 'Sacred Writer, Supreme Observer, and Universal Judge.' Each one complements the other. The writer creates existence, establishes its laws, concepts, and narratives. The Observer monitors the stories written by the Sacred Writer. The Sacred Writer writes a detailed report on the events of each story and gives it to the Universal Judge to study and judge with absolute transparency. This is existence: a writer who writes, an Observer who observes, and a Judge who decides who remains and who is erased."
"But why did the writer of the first page change like this?" Gowther's voice was filled with confusion as he looked towards Yuta, who had a slight smile on his face as he sipped his coffee with an aristocratic air.
"Well, the reason for changing the writing on the first page and reading the second page is..."
The expressions on Gowther's and his companions' faces shifted to a mixture of burning curiosity and a desire to uncover the secret of the book.
"I don't know why." The writing changed, but the second page opened due to the completion of tasks granted to me by the author of the book, "The Great Outcast, Creator and Founder of the Novel World."
Yuta's expression was calm, unlike the others, whose faces were filled with frustration. However, he ignored their frustration and proceeded to guide them.A glance towards the waiter
"Waiter, I'd like to pay," Yuta said calmly as he looked at the waiter who approached him.
After several minutes, a waiter stood directly in front of him. His face was filled with fear and apprehension, but he maintained his composure as best he could.
"A cup of coffee, two dumplings, an avocado smoothie, and a chocolate cake costs five gold coins, sir," the waiter said respectfully. Yuta handed him the money, and the waiter left after thanking Yuta for visiting their restaurant.
Yuta then got up and left the Ain Sultan restaurant after paying the bill.
"Enjoy yourselves exploring Luxembourg City. I have some things to do now, so I'll leave. Have a good day." Yuta left immediately afterward, leaving his companions looking at each other.
"Looks like the real fun hasn't started yet, has it, guys?" Christian's voice was filled with excitement as he glanced towards the restaurant's entrance. "It seems we need to become stronger than we are now. I'm right, guys," Kazuhiro's voice was calm as he held an empty glass.
"Yes, you're right. We need to become stronger. As for you, Gowther, we'll train you to master the use of your Assassination Concept Wing. But before that, you must break through to the Boundless rank as a start. After that, we'll have you master the first level of your wing," Leon's voice was calm as he looked at Gowther, who was looking at his stats with a serene expression.

A deep sigh escaped Gowther's lips as he looked towards his companions, with whom he had spent many years in his past life.
"Yes, I must rise to the Boundless rank as a starting point, and then to the other ranks until I reach the Omni-Transcendent Singularity rank. After that, things will be much easier," she said. Gowther's voice was calm as he looked towards his companions.
A slight smile appeared on the faces of Inuyasha, Nicholas, Christian, Kazuhiro, and Leon, who all rose from their seats.
"Gowther, why don't you take us on a tour of Luxembourg City and tell us what happened while we were gone?" Leon's voice then gained a hint of enthusiasm as he paid for their meal before they left the Ain Sultan restaurant.
.......
A few kilometers from Luxembourg City, Yuta and the five others were gathered.
"So, how are you all doing? Shado (Arabic), Michael Kaiser (Riyadh), Ricardo (Shaboub), Haruto, Ryota (Ben Aoun), Sky Forest (Scalpel). It's been a long time since we've seen each other. I'm right." A slight smile appeared on Yuta's face as he looked towards them.
A slight smile appeared on Haruto's face as he looked towards Yuta.
"Well, well, it seems you're enjoying yourself here. However, there are a lot of suspicious movements going on around here, changing the course of our lives." "In it."
He then turned his gaze towards the city of Luxembourg for a few seconds before looking back at the people with him.
Ricardo (Shabub) had short white hair and light red eyes, wearing practical clothes that were a mix of light and dark blue.
Sky Forest (Scalpel) had black hair and two dark black eyes, wearing practical black clothes.
Shadow (Arab) had wavy brown hair and light brown eyes, while Michael Kaiser (Riyadh) had light silver hair and crystal-blue eyes.
"Yuta, I want you to grant me a request," Shadow's voice was full of enthusiasm as he looked at Yuta.
"You want to fight me, don't you, Shadow? Well, as you wish. I also like fighting strong people like you," Yuta's voice was a mixture of strength, confidence, and a hint of excitement.
A dark purple aura emanated from Yuta, and a black, charcoal-red aura from Shadow's body made the ground stand still. It transformed into a giant pit the size of three normal-sized houses.
Michael Kaiser, Sky Forest Ricardo, and Haruto Ryota all wore slightly annoyed expressions as they floated in the 34-centimeter-deep pit.
"You two, wait a minute! Do you want to wipe out this fantasy world before you can even throw a punch at each other? Are you a bunch of idiots?" Michael Kaiser's voice was laced with sarcasm as he looked at Yuta and Shadow.
Yet, a faint smile played on his lips, as he understood why they hadn't fought directly.
A small smile appeared on Yuta's face as he looked towards Michael Kaiser.
"So, what are you going to do, Michael Kaiser or Riyad?"
Yuta was speaking to Michael Kaiser while he and Shadow disabling their auras.
Michael Kaiser turned his gaze towards the sky. His two celestial crystal eyes glowed with a cool, azure light, and he smiled a faint, unkind smile.
"We'll teach some kids a lesson." "Literature, isn't what I'm saying true?" Michael Kaiser's voice was calm, filled with absolute strength and confidence as he gazed up at the sky, which seemed to split in two.
"You're right. I haven't hit those idiots in ages," Ricardo said, extending his arms as he spoke to Michael Kaiser, Sky Forest, and Haruto Ryota. Their expressions were a mixture of calm and indifference, for the approaching figures were enemies of Michael Kaiser and Ricardo, and thus they showed no concern for them. For both Michael Kaiser and Ricardo, there was not a trace of fear; their feelings were one of complete apathy.
They viewed the approaching figures as mere expendables, which is why the living had spared them until now, despite their attempt to betray the Fantasy Empire, which controlled the entire course of the ruler's life under the Uta regime, and despite being the rulers of the Ashes.The presence of 14 ideas of betrayal is considered a threat to their interests, both now and in the future.
The expressions on the faces of both Michael Kaiser and Ricardo turned irritated by the presence of Uta, a strict and dictatorial ruler. The idea of rebellion was considered a crime punishable by annihilation, and while he followed the law "If I don't see you, no law can stop you," he knew everything that happened on the Existence Path, known as the Ruler's Path, from the largest rebellions to the smallest nanometers, thanks to the Ruler's eyes that saw everything happening within the path he governed.
After several minutes, hundreds of thousands of technologically advanced warships appeared.
Above the command ship, which had a magnificent and imposing appearance, a transparent blue, three-dimensional screen appeared.
"Michael Kaiser from Existence Tree 8 and Ricardo from Existence Tree 7, surrender yourselves to the Center to annihilate this world and kill you. Imagination is surrender, and you will receive a death sentence for destroying our colonies within the 14 Existence Trees." "My words are clear," said the commander of the military expedition, Sheng Yu-jong, his voice as cold as ice as he looked towards Yuta Michael Kaiser and Ricardo Shadow. Haruto Ryota Sky Forest
Yuta ascended into the sky with a calm expression, snapping his fingers. His form transformed, increasing to 1.85 meters in height. His short black hair became long and white, reaching his lower back. His dark violet eyes turned crimson, and his attire, once a deep black, now bore vibrant red patterns, adding to his absolute power and authority.
As soon as Yuta appeared, Sheng Yu-jong's expression shifted 180 degrees, becoming a mixture of anger, hatred, anxiety, and slight tension.
"So, there's a group of traitors trying to kill their masters, or perhaps your ignorance has led you astray, Sheng Yu-jong. I don't want to kill you, really. You're a very useful pawn in my plans, and your continued existence is beneficial to me. That's why I'll give you a chance if you kill that bastard." "Or, leader of a band of renegades, I'll tell you about your family's killer."
"Isn't that why you joined them? Isn't what I'm saying true? You know very well how strong I am and how weak you are. I can wipe you off the face of the earth without any effort. So choose the better option: death without revenge for your family, or protecting everyone you know and love from that fateful end. If I don't kill them, their chances of dying are very high when that disaster strikes."
"The world you knew from that fool, Ji Tu Yan, is just a lie. So choose the better option: revenge and protection for those you cherish—your sister, your lover, and your newborn children. I'll give you 10 minutes to think and remember my words well. After 10 minutes, I'll come and wipe you out, everyone you know." Yuta's voice was as cold as ice, showing no emotion other than malice and murderous intent, as he looked at Xing Yu Jung, who seemed mentally unstable. Yet, his expression didn't change in the slightest. He then spoke in a calm tone that concealed the chaos of his knowledge. Yuta's personality and mindset made him seem serious; he wasn't joking. He possessed a deep understanding of every detail in the existential path they inhabited, so he was confident that every word he said was 100% true. This led to a heavy sense of pressure.
"Very well, we'll consider your words carefully. As for killing Chief Ji Tu Yan, that's impossible," Xing Yu-jung's voice was calm as he looked at Yuta with eyes glowing a light blue, giving him an overwhelming presence that couldn't be ignored, especially with his military uniform, a black and charcoal-colored uniform with intricate gold patterns, signifying his rank as a battalion commander.
A faint, sly smile appeared on Yuta's face as he looked at Xing Yu-jung.
"You won't kill him, even if he's connected to the murder of a family. Remember my words. Sometimes knowledge is a curse rather than a blessing. So remember my words. You're still weak, not because you lack the necessary talent, but because you haven't been allowed to unleash its full potential."
Xing Yu-jung's expression shifted to shock as he turned his gaze to Ji Tu Yan, who was Sweat poured down the faces of Xing Yu-jong and the army commanders of the military unit nicknamed Tiger, considered the strongest within the rebel army.
"Xing Yu-jong is a despicable bastard. He's just lying," Ji Tu Yan's voice was filled with deathly fear.
As he looked towards Xing Yu-jong, the murderous intent emanating from his body and that of his comrades was palpable, unhindered by the fact that they considered him family. And after learning that Ji Tu Yan had a hand in his suffering, it was only natural that they would want to kill him so desperately.
