~~~(POV: Cera Adamo)~~~

~~~(Location: The Gleem Library, The Underground City Of Maero, Desert, The Continent Of Alforza)~~~

~~~(Time: 11:51 PM)~~~

I honestly don't know how much time has passed since I've been suffering on the ground. The pain is driving me to the edge of insanity. My eyes barely open, and Angelus is still sitting on her chair. Watching with some amusement.

She's got sadist qualities. Something she's picked up from the last time I saw her. My thoughts are ripped away from me as new and excruciating pain takes over.

"It's almost over. Just a little longer, Cera. I'm impressed you've handled this. I knew your will was great, but when truly tested, I didn't think you'd be able to hold up."

Whatever.

My attention is on the new feeling as if the top of my head is being ripped open. And that's when I feel the blood start running down the sides of my head. I lean up with all my strength, and I run a hand across my face. Blood is starting to fall here too.

RIIIIIIIPPPP!!!

The tearing of the skin, on the top of my head, fills the large room. I nearly lose consciousness from the pain. But I'm suddenly healed, and there is no more pain. The system appears before me with a message. I don't know why Angelus wouldn't just tell me since she's here.

But what I read does make me lose focus on Angelus.

[You have reclaimed your Angelic Halo.]

[A passive invisible Mana Barrier will be in permanent effect. Negating damage by 90 percent.]

[You can't disable or hide your Angelic Halo.]

I slowly stand up and blink my eyes a few times now that I'm free from the pain. My mind isn't cloudy anymore. The words on the screen in front of me register. I reach up and feel a metallic circular object floating above my head.

The single snap from Angelus makes a mirror appear in front of me, and what I see is a beautiful white-gold halo. Made out of metal with a white glowing light circling the middle of the halo.

"What does it mean I've reclaimed my Angelic Halo... I never had one, to begin with..."

I'm a bit confused by the text. Considering the information I learned about Radueriel, this actually makes some sense. But not a lot, and certainly not enough to say with any certainty I had this at some point before.

Even if I'm from The Ancients World. I think I would've remembered the pain of losing an Angelic Halo. If the process was this painful to regain, I couldn't imagine how much it hurt to lose it. And I would've just been a baby.

Right?

"There are a lot of things we need to talk about, Cera. This isn't the place to do it. You've cleared the Dungeon, after all. It's time that you get back to your elf. I'll contact you again in three days, and we can talk more then."

She snaps her fingers, and I blink my eyes. But instead of being in the Dungeon, I'm outside of it on the bottom floor of the library.

I'm hit with multiple notifications. All of them are about how I've gained EXP and leveled up a few times. But the most notable is I've now gained a new skill. One that I'd consider being the ultimate travel skill. Even more than the Aspect of Transportation.

Actually, my new skill has replaced the Aspect of Transportation.

[Angelic Teleportation (Divine)]

[Description: Using your Angelic powers, you can use your halo to open a portal to any part of Gaia, Overworld, and Underworld.]

[Warning: The beings in Underworld will attack you on sight due to your bloodline.]

Wow, this is an unbelievable skill. I'm able to teleport to any part of Gaia. No matter how far or how difficult it is to reach. My halo is still floating above my head, and this is the point that no matter where I am, people will be able to see who I am.

Wearing a hood to hide my face or not. My Angelic Halo will always be there. I want to test out the new Mana Barrier, but that's something I can do another time. I'm betting Sally is waiting for me somewhere out there.

I open my Player Interface and click on my Friend's List. Going straight to Sally's name, and getting to the point.

[I've cleared the Dungeon, where are you?]

Looking at the time, there is a good chance she's asleep. But that theory is ruined as I get a message back from her within the next 10 seconds.

[I'm at an Inn outside the library. It's called Miners Passtime. It's a fantastic place. I've got us a room.]

No sense in keeping her waiting.

~~~(POV: Marcus Adamo)~~~

~~~(Location: The City Of Jaerey, The Kingdom Of Laasir, The Islands Of Haestar)~~~

~~~(Time: 10:19 AM)~~~

After Rianna won her match, I had never seen her so happy before. I'm shocked she went out into the middle of the Arena and put on such a show. She really did well out there. The potions she had helped, but that's a part of the game.

I'm currently sitting with Hailey and Rianna. The last few matches for the 1v1 tryouts are coming to an end. The two ladies I'm traveling with are teaming up for the 2v2 for a better spot in the tournament. I've yet to find a partner.

"Do you think we'll win in our 2v2 match?"

Rianna is having a typical conversation with my sister. My attention is focused on the list in front of me that's been provided by the system. There are Players here that are looking for a partner for the 2v2. They're only mages.

After all, mages can only fight other mages in the tryouts. The tournament will be different, no doubt about that.

There are some familiar names on here from yesterday and today. None are ones that I'd want to pair up with. Some are from Big Guilds, and others are Solo Players. I'm looking to team up with a Solo Player, but if I'm only left with a Player from a guild, so be it.

"Don't worry, Rianna. You've got nothing to worry about now. You've gotten into The Ruins Of Tasdir with us. Now, all we're going to try and do is strive higher."

They seem to be doing just fine on their own. I stand up and leave them to their talk, and I start looking for a partner for the 2v2 that I can actually work with. I'm not looking to carry someone to victory. A 2v1 in a leveled-out combat PvP match isn't something I want.

~~~(POV: Hailey Adamo)~~~

~~~(Location: The City Of Jaerey, The Kingdom Of Laasir, The Islands Of Haestar)~~~

~~~(Time: 10:42 AM)~~~

Marcus has been gone for a good amount of time, and the 2v2 matches are about to start. He's not up for a while, and neither is Rianna and me. But I'd still like him here to see how these fights differ from 1v1s.

We never practiced them before the tryouts. We didn't have enough Players.

"Where do you think your brother has gone off to?"

Rianna has been asking and talking about my brother a lot lately. I don't think she has a crush on him. She's got a few years on him, but I can see she's seeking his approval for some reason.

"He's looking for a teammate. Before we took you in, we would've teamed up, but that's not happening since I'm helping you."

She looks down at the ground in disappointment. Sure, I could've phrased it better, but we're only in this position because she's weak. Hearing this could help her, but I won't say she's weak outright.

After all, she's already come a long way. No need to shit on her.
