My Space-Time System

A few minutes later when it was completely dark, the brown-haired man appeared in front of the door of one of the many mansions in the Karius estate.

This was that of Xavier Karius and just like the other mansions in the Karius estate, it was painted with a kind of magical white thermochromic paint. During the daytime it was white and when it got to the evening time when the temperature was cooler it change from white to sky blue and deep sky blue at the coolest hour of the day.

'Interesting…' Squeezing his left hand, one of the 3 rings which had an emerald lit up disabling all the alarms on the door, before opening it and stepping in. This was one of his trusty artifacts and one of its powers was sensing and disarming arrays.

The moment he shut the door, the skin along with the hair and clothes began slowly burning off, revealing a 20-year-old with ruffled white hair, a charming face, and a psychotic smile that sent chills down the spines of whoever saw them.

'Let's see where the target is at…' Xander activated the blood-red gem ring on his index finger causing his vision to change to that of a heat vision camera. Everything on the ground floor was blue, so he looked up to the 1st floor and saw the outline of a human glowing red.

The power of the red ring allowed him to locate anything he had in mind as long as they were within a certain distance.

'There it is…' Once he confirmed the position of the target, Xander took his time as he began walking up the large stairs that could fit 3 people at the same time. When he got to the 1st floor he met Xavier Karius who was staring at him.

From the looks of things, it seemed Xavier knew he was coming and had been waiting for him.

"You must be Xavier Karius." Xander continued with an intrigued expression on his face. "I wonder long you have been standing there."

"Let me guess you were sent by that swine from the Nystrom family to steal the master seal?" Xavier asked but all he received was silence from the white-haired boy whose attention wasn't even on him.

"I don't know who you are, but don't you think you are being too cocky to think you can steal from a member of the Karius family in the Karius estate which houses multiple demigods?" Xavier had analyzed the man in front of him multiple times to make sure he was in the Nascent demigod realm. So he had no idea what was giving him so much confidence to come to steal from him and even be upfront about it.

Once again there was an odd silence, but it seemed like Xander finally snapped out from his reverie.

"I can see right through your plans. You plan on boring me to death." Xander said as he yawned.

The first part caused Xavier's heart rate to increase for a split second, but on hearing the second part it returned to normal.

"Since this would be no fun, I guess I have to end this quickly." Xander said with a disappointed look on his face.

"I would love to see you try." Xavier said with a smirk on his face, but it was soon wiped off and replaced with a confused expression when the emerald gem ring on Xander's left hand lit up causing every item in his dimensional amulet to drop to the ground, including the master seal.

The master seal was meant to be a gift for the Karius family's chief beast tamer and it was meant to be presented to him the next day which would make it less than 48 hours after purchase. This meant that there was currently no imprint on it, meaning that Xander didn't need to kill him to steal it.

Just when Xavier was trying to figure out what just happened, Xander shot out a beam of lighting at the master seal, attracting it towards him but Xavier wasn't going to just stand and watch.

He shot his beam of lightning at the master seal, causing it to stop in its track and float in between the 2 without moving forward or back.

"Not bad…" Xander said with a smirk as the beam of lighting went past the master seal and into the lightning beam of Xavier causing a small explosion of lightning arcs that Xavier easily blocked.

'How??' Xavier was shocked when he saw Xander waving the master seal with a smirk plastered on his face.

He wasn't shocked because the master seal was in Xander's hand. He was shocked because he, the lightning protégé of Calton city had lost to a stranger in a battle of lightning control.

'How was he able to do that?' Xavier couldn't help but ask himself when he recounted what just happened a few seconds ago.

It turned out that Xander had so much control over his lightning beam that it went into that of Xavier before changing to a like charge that repelled each other causing Xavier's lightning beam to burst into arcs of lightning.

"I guess it's time to leave then." Xander shook his head in disappointment as he activated his dimensional amulet to store the master seal, but it wasn't working.

"As I said before, don't you think you are too cocky to confront a mage in his house." Xavier said after he had activated the arrays and alarms of his house.

Xavier hadn't engaged Xander because he was even more apprehensive of the white-haired boy after their little encounter. His guts were screaming that he was very dangerous.

"I see you have activated the arrays and alarms… Tsk tsk, too predictable." Xander once again shook his head in disappointment.

"Seems I will be holding this then." Xavier said as he turned to leave.

'He knew about the alarm? Something is wrong here.'
