Master Of None

Chapter 2332: 2332. No Time To Relax

”I am beat.” Walker flopped on the chair and looked at the food on the table. He was sure that things would only be busy every day, but lately he felt that things were only increasing. ”I wonder if I can make a second me?”

This joke was common with everyone within Genesis, but it also spoke to how useful it would be. Not that he would be doing that at all. Magic to make clones was not what Walker wanted to focus on in his life. There were plenty of other things to take his time up right now.

The time he spent showing off the ways that he could bring elemental manas together had been both good for him and others. Mostly for others though.

The mages and other magical class users who had benefited were young and much lower leveled than he was. Walker didn’t even need to look at his stats or levels anymore. He could sense that his strength was much greater day by day with everything he was doing. Even the quests that would appear were something he would complete just by going about his natural actions rather than needing to go out of his way to do them.

Part of this made him realize that he had more than growing in to the true hero title. Some people would have imagined that they had to work every single day to resist their natural urges or the negative side of their hearts. But for Walker, he acted on it before he even considered doing something else.

This was something he had thought about before. He knew that the titles given through the system of existence were not just there for show. They were able to influence important aspects of the receiver.

It was clear that it could enhance or alter bloodlines. It could change and influence a class. It could even change and influence the ways that someone grows overall in the future. So, it was not hard to imagine that the titles were a more in depth part of what made someone them. So for Walker, the titles he had were always playing a part in who he was on a daily basis.

There were those out there trying to achieve titles now though.

Something he was not sure whether he should worry about or not. On one hand, the titles that would be achieved could be gained through striving for new and amazing advances within professions or certain aspects of every day life.

Those who spent years studying how to forge the best sword might be able to gain a title when they forge a sword better than anyone else in the world. Or possibly gain a title related to only forging swords as a master at making swords specifically.

Someone could gain a title for being the first to discover an amazing magical or crafting technique or advancement. Making them an expert on it and marking them in the world’s history. Not a bad thing at all for Genesis and the world.

Where things would get bad though were the times when someone would do something reckless and put others at risk to gain a title.

An example was that Barry had a title called one man army. He had fought against hordes of monsters by himself in outbreaks to defend villages, towns, and cities. He had gone wild and been a risk to others in the state of berserk he was. However, he had protected others.

That came as a risk though. Gaining that title was risky since his life was on the line. Also, anyone nearby him had their life at risk too since he was unable to help protect them.

This wasn’t the only example of titles that were risky to attempt. Some people attempted to get magic titles for creating new spells. Spells that they rained wherever they were. Not always in places that could handle the large amounts of manas that they were gathering. There had already been some isolated incidents of experimenting mages or experimenting alchemists who had tried to hide their personal research in attempts to both discover new things and get titles. As that had happened, new announcements had been posted all around Genesis.

Part of this thinking was why Walker had made a point to tell all of those who were around when he was showing off manas and how they mixed together with one another, that they should take things slowly. That they should not overextend themselves before they had the proper understanding of the mana they wielded and the spells they were capable of.

”I could have guessed you would be here in that state. I heard about your little teaching session at the magic tower.” Walker was surprised to see his father coming in to the room. He was carrying his own plate of food. But he also had the same exhausted expression as Walker did.

”Having your own rough times I see?”

”Rough wouldn’t be it. I would say long days. The new batch of guards have their own issues to handle. I am responsible for the walls more than anything, but those walls spread in to all different territories. Some are even in the water now. So the training changes with what shift and what race or class the new guards have. A lot of changing schedules and putting groups together.”

Walker could tell why his father had that exhausted look now. It was one that came from endless paperwork and then trying to get in front of a rowdy group of young recruits. Anyone would get worn down by that, it was just a matter of time when that would happen.

”So you managed to escape that for now?” Walker laughed a little when he saw his father sit down and nod. While this wasn’t either of their idea of a vacation, they both thought that having the time to just sit with good food like this was worth it.

”There you are, Walker. Haven’t you heard about the forest elves yet? They are having some issues with a new section of the forest they found. They think that it might be something dangerous.” That Was when all the wind left Walker’s sails. His peace had been stolen away so quickly after it had appeared.

”I need you to tell me more about that Gil. Oh, Alma is here too. Then I guess we will all need to go to the Genesis building?” Walker gave an apologetic look towards his father. In response, his father gave him a shrug and went to steal Walker’s plate to add the food to his own. There was no apologies from father to son when it came to the food Walker’s mother cooked. It was too good.

Without needing to be told, Walker was already up and moving again. He had plenty of energy. The perks of getting stronger were always showing in the fact that he and others did not need to worry about sleeping and resting as much. While some people would still do so regularly, they didn’t have to be strict with it. It was just a nice benefit to prove the hard work put in to growing stronger.

While walking, Gil started to speak, ”we heard last night that the first reports of an unexplored portion of the forest had been found. It was nothing new since we all know that many areas were expanded in some way or another.” Gil tried his best to show that this was partially to be expected with the state of things right now.

”But then there was something more there. The entire forest changed drastically after walking through an archway with a large amount of mana around it. The reports were verified several times before the elves called for some assistance to block the area off and prepare walls around it. They assume it’s natural space magic or something like the theorized monster nests and dungeons reported.”

This made Walker stop for a half step. He was sure that the place being called a dungeon was exactly what he expected right now. That it was some naturally occurring place influenced by denser manas, especially spatial man gathering.

He knew this would happen at some point. However, he also understood that this was not planned by Genesis and their leaders to appear so soon. This was earlier than what they

predicted.

”I have a feeling that the flow of mana from the elemental planes is moving faster than what we expected. We already found another naturally occurring elemental rune. And now a potential dungeon where the spatial mana might be the cause of a sudden change in area? We need to look more in to this.” It was another task on the list. But first things first. They had to go to the elven forest.
