Rebirth: Tyrant's New Reality

'Just one second…' Arkhen thought as he saw the portal. Alas…

The old man appeared on the left side of Arkhen with a punch aimed at his head.

Arkhen's heartbeat was beating at the fastest in the last moment. From the corner of his eyes, he saw the old man's punch and knew that if it hit him, it was game over. 'Please work!'

*Swrrrrroosh…*

From Arkhen's body, a turbulent space maelstrom exuded and attacked the old man as space ripples forcefully sent him 200 meters away!

It was Emily's Ward of Silver Storm!

"Hahaha," Arkhen loudly laughed as he looked at the old man 300 meters away and entered the portal. "Bad bye, old man! But don't worry, I'll definitely beat you later!"

…

James saw Arkhen coming out of the portal and dispersed it before saying with a faint smile. "Not bad. But he won't leave you alone."

"Heh, if he comes here, then we'll see who beats who this time," Arkhen said with a snort.

"Not like that," James shook his head before looking in the sky.

The color of the sky changed to dark blue, and golden flashes of lightning suddenly started flashing.

A giant faint image of that old man's face appeared. But he had a grin on his face. "Brat! You broke the deal so you will suffer!"

"Hahaha, there was no fairness in our duel because you were more powerful than me fundamentally, and there was also no fairness in the deal because I didn't plan to follow it in the first place!" Arkhen said with a laugh.

"I curse you, brat! After you arrive at the first realm, you will constantly encounter trouble and have bouts of bad luck! Hahaha, if you want to be free of this curse, you must defeat me!"

[You have been cursed by a curse-type magic spell: Harbinger of Misfortune]

Arkhen heard the notification, but he didn't flinch. Looking straight at the old man's face, he grinned and said, "Wait for me in the first realm, old man! I'll come and kick your ass!"

"Brat. That is if you survive with that curse on you, hahaha. My name is Kinen Saho. Come to the first realm and die!" Saho laughed as thunder rumbled in the sky. His face slowly disappeared, and a second later, everything vanished as the sky returned to its normal state.

"Kinen Saho... Wait for me," Arkhen muttered before he turned to James and nodded. "Thanks for the portal."

Azriel also flew towards them with a beautiful girl by his side.

"Hahaha, it seems that everything went well, brother!" Azriel said with a laugh while his right arm hugged the woman with light crimson hair.

"This is my new wife, Seraphina," Azriel said with a prideful grin.

"Hi," Seraphina greeted with a smile and nodded.

Arkhen nodded with a smile before he turned to Azriel. "Thanks for the help against those angels."

"No problem. You also helped me by telling my ancestor to not go after me, so we are even now," Azriel grinned. "Now I am going to the first realm and enjoy there with my wife Seraphina because this gravel realm is too dull. See you later, mate."

A dreamy white light enveloped Azriel and Seraphina before both of them disappeared.

Afterward, Arkhen returned to his castle, and James also went somewhere after entering a portal.

…

"Thank you, Emily. That Ward of the Silver Storm came in handy," Arkhen said as he hugged her. "I probably would've returned empty-handed without it."

Emily smiled as she felt warm. "I'm glad it helped you," she said after hugging Arkhen. Looking at Arkhen, she lightly chuckled, "I really no longer feel aversion to you. Not one bit."

Azela side-hugged Emily with a smile and nodded. "That's great, sister Emily."

"So when are we going to the academy and meet those Galactic Alliance reps?" Emily asked.

"Wait a minute. I need to put Sierra's soul in Mystic Land and start her trial. After that, we'll go to the academy," Arkhen said to Azela and Emily before he disappeared and entered the Mystic Land.

…

Mystic Land. This was an empty world full of wonders. A new function of the system. He could enter this world just by thinking about it, but it had some requirement to enter.

To enter, he needed to be in a still space with not a ripple of energy around him for 1 minute. Basically, even if he was flying with his purple-star wings, with no one attacking him or in combat, he still wouldn't be able to enter. So all other scenarios also result in the same conclusion: Unable to enter.

He can transport people in the mystic land after he labels them as members. But there was a limit. For now, 15 people was the limit.

After entering the mystic land, Arkhen appeared in the sky with a beautiful natural land below him. It was full of trees, plants, a big river flowing and breaking into three big nodes by the mountain ranges, and going into an ocean far away.

He could also sense a dangerous presence in the forest, so he didn't go down.

'Let' 's start...' Arkhen thought as he labeled Sierra as the member, causing her soul to disappear from his inventory.

'Open members status of the mystic land.' Arkhen thought and a status appeared in front of him.

|Mystic Land Members|

[-Master of the Land: Arkhen]

[-Members:—> Zoe, Evelyn, Grace, Isabella, Ellie, Makoto, Dionne, Luna, Haruna, Ruchina, Katherin, Azela, Emily, Sierra.]

[-Awakening Nirvana:—> Cost: 10,000 Reality Essence to generate a trial for the selected soul. (One free trial generator chance left)]

Arkhen used the one free trial generator, and another screen appeared that told him to choose a soul on which he wanted to use the free trial generator.

He selected Sierra's soul.

[Trial Generating for Sierra: 23:59:59]

[My lord, the trial will finish generating after 24 hours. After that, you can watch as Sierra goes through it. Once she passes the trial, she will get the awakening nirvana.]

[You also need to go through an Awakening Nirvana, but since you are the Master, you can directly get the Awakening Nirvana after you ascend to the 1st realm]

'What's with those mystic regions?'

[There are guardian bosses in each mystic region. You need to defeat them and occupy the mystic region to unlock them. After unlocking them, the members will need to do some work and produce the reality essence. You will know how it works after you occupy and unlock them.

'I see. The one below me in the forest is giving off a dangerous vibe.'

[My lord, you can only defeat those guardian bosses after ascending to the 1st realm. None of your current attacks will put even a scratch on them]

'Alright. Then I guess I will ascend to the first realm after completing this side quest.'

[Yes, the reality points you gained here will be useless in the first realm anyway. The only thing left is to upgrade your Undead Realm superpower to 2nd level, and you are good to go]

'Hmm, I still have 347k reality points left. Alright, upgrade the Undead Realm,' Arkhen said and upgraded the Undead realm before leaving the mystic land.

After appearing in front of Emily and Azela, he grinned and grabbed locked both of his arms with them. "Ladies, it's time to go."

With Emily to his left and Azela to his right, Arkhen put on a fancy outfit with a suit that made him look classy and also gave gorgeous dresses to Azela and Emily before initiating the teleport.

After two seconds, the three of them disappeared from the first floor.
