The Tale of the Void Emperor

After Lily, Huarin, and Dreevindo disappeared from the teleportation platform, they arrived at the 6th Lerento; they arrived on a very large platform inside a city.

"This…the atmosphere here is too thick, orchos energy is not as pure as in our Ark space, but it's thicker," Lily muttered.

"Hmmm, it should be because of several large formations in this city," Dreevindo nodded.

"Let's go and find a place that has Blessed Houses; we shouldn't waste more time and start training with the resources we have gathered, "Huarin said.

…

After leaving this area, they entered the grand city with lavish buildings. They were built with different types of wood and metal materials with exquisite designs. Every building exuded elegance.

It had a middle-aged royal feel, but it was mixed with sci-fi and magic because of the magical crystal lamps, silver-blue lightning paths, hoverboards, and such things. It looked like an entirely new civilization.

"This city should be under a powerful Empire," Dreevindo muttered as he looked around while walking in the streets of the city.

After walking for a while without asking anything and just absorbing the information that other people occasionally spoke without an isolation barrier, they found that this city was under Mabunogi Empire, one of the top ten most powerful Empire in this entire 6th Lerento.

After a while, they went to a store and asked about Blessed House and readily got the address.

As such, they didn't waste any time and arrived at their destination after walking for a while.

[Euthernia Blessed Houses Plaza]

However, they were surprised at the size of this plaza. It was….simply too small.

It looked like a small store rather than a plaza. The building was one story big, and it was just 200 meters wide. Behind this building was actually a hundred stories big tower with a glowing board of [Infinatum Hotel] at the very top in all four directions.

Occasionally, a few people would enter the Euthernia Blessed Houses Plaza through its one large door.

They couldn't see anything past the door as it was all darkness. Even if some people entered, they would disappear into the darkness.

Naturally, it was common sense not to judge anything by its outer appearance as Lily, Huarin, and Dreevindo entered inside.

*Dhoom…dhoom…*

"Everyone! I have two entry coupons for the Wardancer Zone entry! If you want to comprehend Epic-grade Esoteric Abilities, then you can bid for one. The lowest bid is 2 million Epic-tier Etons."

"10 million! Now give it to me,"

…

"What the…," Lily, Huarin, and Dreevindo were surprised as they felt like they had arrived in an entirely different world.

"It's really a plaza…," Huarin murmured.

The plaza was a five-kilometer radius vast; it was truly huge.

"It looks like the building from where we arrived here is just one of the many entrances of to this plaza," Lily said as she saw some people appearing at the border of this plaza on a black footpath like them but at other locations.

"No wonder there are so many people here," Dreevindo nodded.

The entire plaza had six districts and six extensive paths in six directions. On top of each of those six paths was a giant floating board with glowing carvings that changed colors every three seconds, giving it a cyberpunk feel.

[Market District]

[Gambling District]

[Blessed Houses District]

[Mystic Zones District]

[Arena District]

[Entertainment District]

Lily and others directly started walking towards the path leading to [Blessed Houses District]. After walking for a while, they encountered a giant dreamy blue portal from which people would occasionally come out and enter like them.

…

Once they entered the portal, they arrived at sunny, beautiful scenery with a large palace in front of them.

[Blessed Houses Registration Palace]

Lily and others entered the palace, and right after that, a staff approached them and explained everything about how things work here.

Afterward, they took out all of their Etons, of low-tier, mid-tier, and high-tier, and paid at the desk and registered themselves before getting four ID cards.

Those four ID cards had a Digi-magical frame on them that displayed how long they could stay in their Blessed houses.

Naturally, they divided equally, and Lily made an extra card for Mimi with an alias name, Mileni, since the registration didn't require anything other than a name and, of course, Etons.

Each card had 1 year, 2 months, 18 days, and 9 hours displayed.

"Since you have four cards, then it means that there will be one more companion of yours that will join you, right?" asked the staff lady as she looked at Lily and others.

Lily thought for a moment and nodded with a faint smile, "Mileni is with us, inside a Bolean Life capsule right now in my inner space, recovering her injuries."

"I see," the staff nodded before she asked, "then do you want a private island block? or want to go to a multi-zone in a large floating area?"

"What is the difference?" Dreevindo asked.

"Private Island block is a private island amidst an ocean. These islands have four to six Blessed houses. Nobody will disturb you there. On the other hand, a multi-zone is a large floating island where there are twenty to fifty Blessed houses and some other facilities. It's a lively area where people would come out of Blessed House after breaking through and do some combat or training with others in facilities," the staff lady explained patiently.

"Then we would like a private island block with four blessed houses," Lily said with a smile.

The staff nodded before she looked down on her desk and did something on a large tablet and a display in front of her.

*tinnn…*

Lily and others saw the #7 number appearing at the corner of their card.

After a second, a middle-aged man approached them and spoke with a polite smile, "please follow me. I will lead you to your destination."

Following the middle-aged man, after walking through a corridor, they arrived at a portal and entered inside a portal door.
