Reborn as God: The strongest system

It was just telekinesis.

The negative energy gathering technique was going to become very useful. As long as he had enough negative energy, he would have access to three abilities.

Telekinesis, possession and illusion, casting.

Of course he had to have enough negative energy first before anything else. The effect of these abilities might be very weak at first glance, because even at the strongest level that he could achieve in theory, it would be hard to cast an illusion against a creature of a similar rank.

But still, these tricks could prove fatal during combat, even if it was a distraction for a fraction of a second it could prove fatal in the life or death situation.

More importantly, if he found a way to negate the side effects of the negative energy that the pharaoh told him about then…

But of course, it was not something that would happen overnight, especially since disability did not appear in the system, and could only be improved by rigorous training.

In any case, even if he couldn't overcome the side effects, he was happy anyway because the most important reason why he wanted this ability was because it could be used without mana.

….

A few days passed since then and finally today something happened.

"This is what I found." David slammed a bunch of papers and documents on the table at his room.

Esdras went through them in a grim mood. These were the papers obtained from Robert's apartment. David had some connections and was able to obtain a spare key to his apartment and even was able to rummage through the stuff and obtain these papers.

Esdras had wanted to do this for a while, but he knew that with his current identity and position it would be very difficult to avoid suspicion.

This is when David stepped in, apparently he said that he could get him what he wanted very quietly without anyone knowing about it.

Although David may deny it, Esdras was sure that he belong to a powerful mage family, or perhaps a clan that had connections with the Octarine tower.

However, after going through everything, he could only conclude that he didn't find anything that could implicate Robert.

At least not directly, he did find a small message, written, cryptically, and without any seals or marks.

' you must complete the deed as soon as you can, our partners are in a hurry. If we prove ourselves to them now, and save them a lot of inconvenience, we would stand to benefit greatly. I know you can do it. This is all for the restoration of our family.'

It was an extremely cryptic letter, if he wasn't looking for something like this, then he may have missed it entirely. Although there was no proof, he had a feeling that this matter was started by this letter.

This is when many pieces of the puzzle that he already had started to click together, although the full picture was not clear yet he started to get an idea about what was happening.

Robert Castyia and Tara Chester.

The Castyia family was a viscount family from the Kazzat kingdom and it neighbored his own Varthos territory currently.

The Chester family was a Count family that was not too far either.

It was unfortunate that he did not think of these facts before now, he did not think that these two would be fellow countrymen, it was never brought up before.

And they were betrothed to each other too.

He did not know why they wanted him dead, if it was a simple invading against his territory, then they did not need to kill him right now, and so hastily too.

This letter proved that they wanted him dead very quickly, at least at that time.

After even if he died, his uncle wouldn't simply handover the territory to them. In fact, he would be very happy to see him dead at somebody else's hands. That would prevent anyone from ever accusing him of usurping his property and title.

Of course, this still did not mean that they were not in cahoots with his uncle. It was not clear what was exactly going on in the Kazzat kingdom.

The next day, another important letter arrived. This one was brought here by a courier company that was specialized in sending letters or supplies throughout the entire region.

This letter was from Redthorn, he had sent the letters to when the were still in Seroie. Of course, the goblin was stationed in the Bon gorge, so he had no address exactly.

Esdras had to write multiple letters and have them copied multiple times. The courier had to spread the letters throughout the gorge until he got a reply, and then sent a reply back.

The courier had no idea what was going on and to whom the letters written to, they were not paid to ask questions of to know these things they will pay to deliver the letters back-and-forth.

The leather detailed what happened to Redthorn after their separation. Redthorn admit it many weeks ago already, and has started sending goblins to investigate what was going on within the territory as he was instructed to do.

He even took over a bunch of monsters that were roaming the gorge.

​ In fact, the situation within the territory was very calm on the surface at least. While that was true, it was not so for the rest of the Wild-lands.

The violence were the target of conquest of the Kazzat kingdom since many years ago, the greatest contributor to this conquest was house Varthos. While many houses participated in the conquest, no one family could ever measure up to Varthos.

The king had ordered. The noble house is to bring civilization and liberation to the barbarians and them humans living within the wild lands.

This is how house Varthos earned their Earldom, in the past. However, they could not hold onto these lines for more than a generation as the increase in the number of monsters, and the political stability of the kingdom forced the houses to pull out of the wild lands.

This lead to the decline of house Varthos the most, as it benefitted the most it also lost the most.

Thanks to his investigation, Redthorn was able to notice that several houses that had participated in the conquest of the wild lands. I've been getting up for war and entering the wild lands once again.

However, Esdras found that very weird. As these houses simply did not have the resources or the backing to attempt recapturing the wildlands once again.

What was going on?
