MMORPG: I Can See Hidden Information

“Will I have the chance to return here in the future?”

Fike asked.

“Today will be our first and last meeting.”

Fike continued to press on.

“What about Kyle? Does Kyle know about this?”

“He doesn’t know that the original god chose you over him.”

“Does he know that this place is about to disappear?”

There was a moment’s pause before the voice continued.

“He has already sensed the changes occurring here. He has known about it ever since the first time you arrived.”

‘No wonder Kyle was so eager for me to find the Lightning Core. So that’s the case…

‘But it’s useless. The Lightning Core can only last for a short period of time. Once this place begins to wither, no matter how many Lightning Cores there are, it’ll be futile.’

Fike was deep in thought as he continued to ask.

“I understand. Then how should I cultivate this Primordial Power?”

“Cultivating the Primordial Power does not have as many restrictions as cultivating the mystical arts. You may begin now.”

The voice continued.

“In the world of Miracle, as the level of a cultivation technique increases beyond a certain point, it grows more similar to ordinary cultivation techniques. There are no restrictions on cultivation.

“Soon, I will be destroyed, along with this place. Now, I will send you back to your world.”

The teleportation door appeared once more on the plains, and he began to be sucked in.

The voice sounded once more.

“Please remember the instructions of the original god. Child of Earth, your future will be boundless.”

As his words faded, Fike felt his world spin again.

When he could open his eyes again, he found that he had returned to his familiar room.

He looked down. The source spirit in his hand was slowly disintegrating, and cracks were starting to form.

A crisp sound pinged.

The source spirit shattered, its fragments scattering in the air before disappearing.

As he watched, Fike felt his heart filled with mixed emotions.

‘So I have to carry the burden of such an important mission on my back?’

He looked at the Primordial Power lying on the ground.

Picking it up, he flipped to the first page.

The contents of the book seemed to be brimming with some kind of magical power, alluringly drawing his attention.

“There are eight levels of Primordial Power. Each level of cultivation and improvement leads to the distance standing between you and godhood shrinking.

“The first level of Primordial Power concerns the divine body. After the first level is completed, you will attain the Body of Vajra, which is similar to the body of a god.

“Once it is attained, the body of the cultivator shall be immortal and indestructible. Unless the soul is scattered, the cultivator will live forever in the world of Miracle.”

Fike had a serious look on his face as he scanned through the description of the first level.

He couldn’t help but mutter to himself.

“I didn’t expect that just by completing the first level, one can obtain such incredible power. Immortal and indestructible…”

Fike continued to flip through the contents of the Primordial Power and began to cultivate according to its instructions.

“Each level of cultivation involves three trials.

“The first stage of the divine physique, the Overlord’s Body. After mastering the Overlord’s Body, one will be invulnerable to the effects of wind, lightning, fire, rain, and poison.”

Fike’s excitement quickly grew by a few notches as he urged mana to continuously flow through his body.

A surge of warmth rushed up from his lower abdomen.

As the warmth started to spread, it slowly became hotter and hotter.

The heat quickly became scorching, and soon melted the clothes that had been wrapped around Fike’s body.

‘No way… is the first stage of cultivation so difficult?’

The temperature rose unceasingly, and the entire room reached beyond boiling point.

At this point, the items in the room were starting to ignite and burn.

Although he sensed it happening, Fike had no way of extinguishing the flames.

He knew that if he stopped now, all the suffering he had already gone through would be wasted, and his efforts would have been in vain.

“Ah-ah-ah!”

The intense heat eroded every inch of his skin, and he felt that his body was burning from the inside out.

‘My blood feels like it’s on fire!’

Fike’s body burned hotter and hotter. It was a heat that burned from the inside out.

It was as if a raging fire had been abruptly thrown into snow.

His body was like the snow, gradually melting, but the fire had no intention of stopping. Instead, it was still getting hotter.

At the same time, he also felt that he was starting to become unable to breathe.

By now, almost everything in Fike’s room had been burned to ashes.

‘It’s almost done, I can feel it!

‘Come on, you just have to hold on!’

Just as Fike had been about to complete the Overlord’s Body, he heard a series of knocks on the door.

“Hey hey hey! Is the student inside here okay? Why is there a fire?”

Fike heard the shouting, but at this moment, he could not get up to open the door to explain anything.

He could only try to speed up his cultivation.

‘Faster, faster!’

Fike was screaming internally.

Suddenly, the knocking on the door stopped.

The voice from outside warned.

“If you don’t open the door, I’ll have to resort to uncivil methods!”

Just as these words fell, a divine bolt of lightning struck Fike’s body.

Fike cried out in pain.

Hearing Fike’s scream, the door slammed open.

Fike had succeeded in cultivating the Overlord’s Body. He opened his eyes, but fell weakly to the ground.

“Hey, student, what happened to you? How did the entire room become like this?”

Fike saw that the person who had entered was the dormitory manager of the building.

He responded awkwardly.

“Uh… I’m not too sure. I just slept, and when I woke up, it became like this.”

Facing Fike’s pale expression and implausible explanation, the dorm manager did bother asking too much.

“Alright then, since you’re fine, pay the compensation fee. The bed is 50 Romon gold coins…”

Looking at the cute dorm manager, Fike let out a weak smile.

After paying for compensation, the dorm manager brought him to a new room.

“You can stay here for the next few days. After your room is repaired, you can move back!”

Fike thanked her briefly before putting down his luggage in the room.

‘That was difficult, but I’ve mastered the first stage of the Primordial Power. If I meet any stronger Extoic Beasts in the future, I won’t die so easily.

‘Anyway, I should go take a bath first. I’m covered in sweat!’

After a quick shower, Fike looked at himself in the mirror.

He noticed that there was now a tattoo of a lightning bolt on his left shoulder.

‘Is this the mark of the Overlord’s Body?’

Fike didn’t think too much about it. Instead, he chose to rest.

Tomorrow, he would officially begin his classes at Yogmo Academy.

‘I’d better rest early. I don’t know if I will be tired tomorrow.’

He lay down, and quickly fell asleep.
