Requiem Of A Failed Hero

Chapter 35 The Old Man Volmak

?"Mehn, that penalty is fucking hard to deal with"

Raith sighed as drops of blood fell on the ground even merely thinking about what Volmak said inflicted pain in his head.

"Have you been thinking about it again?"

Volmak said as he walked outside, towards Raith who was cleaning the blood off his nose with his hand.

"Ha ha, I just can't resist it..."

'The thought that all I have believed in from my childhood might be a lie'

He stood up from the wooden table.

"How can I not be affected by celestial code."

"The only way you cannot be affected by it huh? I don't know, no one has ever talked about it."

"How come you are not affected by it."

"I don't know that too what I do know is that a demon of 981 years old would still be able to bear some certain level of information besides... I was told by someone who has completely broke free from the code. Maybe all that added to the reason why I can freely say it. But it will be worse for a human."

'Damn, looks like it is so uncool being a human. Nine hundred and eighty-one? damn!'

Raith's mind suddenly drifted through his status.

'Right, my age is a triple-digit and one? it doesn't make sense except if my age is being counted according to how long I've spent in Felfhiem, does that mean I have the probability to live hundreds of years even though I am human?'

Raith rubbed his chin and asked Volmak who was already busy cutting the woods he had brought from earlier.

"I don't know if people in your world can hear the voice of the world and see written words in front of your eyes?"

"You mean The Cosmotic system?"

The man replied to him and slashed a small piece of wood into four different parts with one swing.

Raith glanced at the skillfulness but quickly returned to his conversation.

"I don't understand, why is everything different?! So let's say this cosmotic system. What color is it?"

The man picked another chopped wood.

"Golden of course..."

"Wait golden?"

'Mine is black but even others from Therut is blue... are they fake too?'

Raith wondered.

"What is it?"

Volmak turned to him after slashing down another chop into three parts.

"The section that is supposed to display my name changed, everything changed when I entered this world and the part that is supposed to show my name is saying: Unknown"

"Then it means the cosmotic system does not know your name. Which is very weird and impossible."

"Right... weird, and my age is one and the skill ranks and other kinds of stuff changed too."

The old man stared at Raith blankly at Raith who after a few seconds understood what that meant.

"I need to get rid of this damn celestial code'

He grumbled and walked inside while the man continued to slash down chops of wood.

After he was done, he packed the chopped wood together, packed it into a sack, and put it on his shoulder bid Raith farewell and went into the city to sell the woods.

Raith on the hand, had endlessly stared at the man for hours and as a result discovered some things, some things that left him so dazed that he didn't know that Volmak had gone and also bid him farewell.

"What in the world is this monster?"

Raith felt his nerves shiver as he gulped at the long list of skills that was revealed before him.

'No wonder Absalom or whatever his name is was so humble in front of him. I have never seen anyone with so many skills... he could defeat anyone in Therut.'

Raith continued to glare into the status before him and didn't know when a drop of sweat fell off the side of his head.

He couldn't help but wonder how strong the demons would be if they were the ones that defeated Volmak when he was challenging them. The thought of it exhilarated him but also scared him—but the more important thing was his motivation to get stronger, still couldn't take his eyes off his list.
