MMORPG: Rebirth of the Mortal Online

Chapter 141: The Talent



After returning from the exhausting birthday party, Adam went straight to his room and there removed his shoes and jacket before collapsing onto his bed.

He didn't expect the birthday party to be so exhausting, but it was, and that was because of one person.

"Amelia."

Adam's voice was filled with poison.

He always knew Amelia wasn't the most honest person in the world. She had been caught in a lie a couple of times.

She even once tried to make Adam and Lisa, when they were still dating, break up.

Why? No one found out.

After getting caught trying to do so, she just acted like it was a misunderstanding, and even though no one believed her, she never apologized or admitted anything.

There were other similar circumstances.

It was somewhat clear that she was a pathological liar.

However, they still trusted her and believed in her-Adam did the most.

He never expected her to betray her in such a cruel way, but she did.

"They might not know what they did to me, but I do, and I'll have my revenge."

Adam sat up on the edge of the bed and vowed to never trust her again.

He wanted his revenge.

However, he didn't want to do it yet.

It was too early.

When he died, he lost over a decade of hard work. He wanted Amelia to feel the same pain that he had felt.

Now, she was most likely just an ordinary Ordergiver-if he killed her, it wouldn't hurt her at all.

She would just come back and wouldn't trust Adam ever again.

Adam needed her trust so he could use her like a pawn.

"Maybe I should go have a lunch with her, after all..." Adam's eyes turned cold, and his brain worked like a well-oiled machine.

A plan was forming in his mind-a long and patient plan.

Adam reached out to his jacket on the floor, rummaged through its chest pocket, and took out his phone-he still had Amelia's phone number.

He left a message.

He then put the phone away to get it charged and stood up, then went to the computer to start working on his long and patient plan.

After opening the computer, he went straight to a Word app and started writing stuff down.

"That's the groundwork..." Adam looked at the screen, then closed the app and locked it behind a secure password.

'Amelia cares about three things-money, status, and power-if I take all three things away from her, she will have nothing left.'

...

Ding, ding.

"Hmm?" Amelia took her phone from her purse and checked it out.

Alice was sitting beside her in a garden chair in the backyard. They had been enjoying the sun and chatting about mundane things.

'She is Adam's childhood friend...' Alice thought while side-glancing at Amelia. 'She is so pretty. Adam must've liked her...'

She shook her head, trying to shake off those thoughts.

She enjoyed Amelia's company quite a bit, but couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy. Amelia read through a text message, and a beautiful smile broke across her face. 'Hahaha, I see. He acted tough, as if he wasn't interested, but I knew he couldn't resist my charm in the end.'

"Did something happen?" Alice asked after seeing her suddenly smile.

"Yes, something good." Amelia replied with a smile and then put the phone back on the purse. "I'll must be going as well now; it was nice to talk with you. I hope we can do this again soon."

"Ah, alright, bye." Alice said and watched as the beautiful young woman walked away.

'She must've received some good news. That smile was one of the brightest I've ever seen.'

...

Tumbling down the cobblestone streets, a carriage soon came to a stop in front of a gated residence-a crimson-furred sigil on top of the gate.

The carriage's doors opened, and the members of the crimson cloaks entered the villa after a long and strainous journey. The servants and guild members welcomed them with open arms and a warm meal.

However, they noticed a couple of them didn't return, as their numbers seemed fewer than when they left.

It was shock to them-the core of the Crimson Hounds, in their eyes, were unbelievable strong, but even some of them didn't survive through the Gathering.

"Adam, walk with me." Digby said and took another path, down a rock-stepped path that led to the backyard of the large estate.

Adam nodded and walked after him, backpack slung over his shoulder.

He didn't mind a walk, as his legs had gone numb because of the bumpy carriage ride.

Over ten years later, he still couldn't enjoy those carriage trips-there were times when he wished there were cars, trains, and planes instead.

The stone-stepped path took them to the backyard's small pond with a gentle fountain in the

center.

Digby came to a stop, and after marveling at the pond's calming effects for a couple of seconds, he pulled out a paper from his inventory and handed it over to Adam.

Adam took it with a raised eyebrow-it was empty, yellowish paper.

"That's yours." Digby said. "It might not look much, but apparently it is the map of the Godswood forest, given by the King himself."

"The Map of the Godswood..." Adam frowned and realized what kind of paper this was.

With a deep breath, he infused a little bit of his Magick into the paper, and a drawing of a forest started to appear, with some areas highlighted in red circles and some with green

circles.

This paper was made out of Emperor's Flesh. A rarest kind of paper.

"You have learned Magick?" Digby asked in shock.

"Yeah." Adam replied with a chuckle. "It was much easier than Kiryoku."

Digby's throat turned dry. This was amazing.

While he wasn't that impressed with his Kiryoku learning speed as other S-rankers did it faster, Adam learned Magick faster than anyone he had ever heard of!

'His talent with Magick is insane!' Digby frowned and thought. 'If he focuses on becoming Magick Master, he might become the strongest magician in history.'

He thought about it deeply, but unfortunately, the Crimson Hounds didn't have any Magick Masters among them. Lucette was their best one, but in the end she was just average.

He believed, with good guidance, Adam might really become the best magician the world had

ever seen.

Adam smiled as he looked at the map. It was a very valuable object, and he definitely planned

to visit the Godswood.

"Adam, take this as well." Digby took a scroll from his inventory and gave it to Adam.

Adam opened the scroll, and his eyes widened slightly.

"Kraft scroll?"

"Try learning it, and come to me instantly after you've learned it." Digby said.

"Oh, alright." Adam nodded and put it away into his inventory.

Digby wanted to see whether Adam's talent also transferred to Kraft.

If so, he could at least teach Kraft.

"I won't keep you occupied any longer, Adam," Digby said. "You should go and practice."

"Thank you, master." Adam bowed and left straight for his room.

Digby looked down at the pond, with his reflection on the surface, and took a heavy breath.

"Should I send him there? There would be enough Magick Masters to teach Adam everything he needs to learn, but what if he'll start thinking that he won't need my guild anymore? "No, I shouldn't think such things. I don't want to be a block between him and his potential."
