Sovereign of the Firmaments

Chapter 4 - Barren Firmament, Silverstone Town

'Is this how it feels when you have a family who will give their life for you?'

Lucas Hellmore, who saw the actions of his little brother, felt something in his heart that he was feeling for the first time.

'I like this feeling.'

With a slight smile on his face, Lucas stood up from the ground as he stretched his body a little.

"Die, little bast…."

Nathan stopped laughing as he slashed his golden sword at Evan who was trying to protect his brother.

'Swoosh'

However, he was unable to finish his words and his attack before a small stone flew past his face.

'What was that?'

Nathan barely dodged the stone; however, he was unable to see what it was.

'Che...Looks like I need some time to get used to this body.'

Lucas muttered to himself as he looked at Nathan and said, "Are you looking for this?"

'Swoosh'

While saying those words, Lucas used his fingers to shoot another small stone.

'Puchi'

'Aargh'

This time, his aim didn't miss as the small stone directly hit Nathan's left eye making him groan in pain.

"Evan, Old man, let's go."

As soon as the small stone hit Nathan's eyes, Lucas held his little brother's hands and shouted at the old man Bernard before rushing towards the portal.

"Die"

Seeing that the young masters were safe, the old man used a powerful slash to cut the hand of the knight in front of him while pushing the other one aside.

Without wasting any time, he rushed towards the portal following his young masters.

"Young master Nathan?"

As for the mage beside Nathan, he hurriedly checked on Nathan because if something happens to Nathan, he and the other two knights would be killed without any mercy.

"Damn it...don't let them escape."

Even though Nathan was in so much pain, he didn't want Lucas and others to escape into the portal because it would be very difficult for him to hunt them down once they leave this province.

So, he shouted at his servants to catch them.

However, before anyone could react, the Hellmore brothers and Bernard had successfully entered the portal.

"I will not forget this and definitely take revenge for what happened today."

Nathan saw Lucas and others enter the portal with his right eye and shouted as loudly as possible.

…..

In the Barren firmament.

Even though it was called a Barren firmament, it was filled with greenery everywhere and in the distance, there was a small town that seemed to be bustling with people.

'Swoosh'

All of a sudden, a portal appeared in the middle of the open ground, throwing two young men and one old man out of it.

"Young masters, are you alright?"

The old man Bernard rushed towards Lucas and Hellmore and hurriedly asked with a face full of concern.

"I am fine, Grandpa."

Evan replied with a smile whereas Lucas slightly nodded his head.

'Young master Lucas changed into a completely different person after that incident.'

Seeing the nonchalant look on Lucas, the old man shook his head before asking, "Do you want to enter the town and rest for the day to plan for our future, Young master Lucas?"

Since Lucas is the current family head of the Hellmore family, the old man asked him for his opinion.

"Sure."

If he was alone, he would have done something different; however, he had a little brother to take care of. Moreover, it's been a while since his little brother had a proper sleep.

Soon, they started walking towards the town in the distance.

'Golden finger?'

While walking Lucas silently called the thing in his head.

He didn't know what the thing in his head was called; however, from Quickscar's words, it was called a Golden finger.

'Ding,

Greetings host, what can I do for you?

All of a sudden, Lucas heard a cold voice in his head.

'Who are you? What can you do?'

Lucas calmly asked while walking towards the town.

'Ding,

My name is Sovereign system and my duty is to help the host to become the Sovereign of these nine firmaments by giving various missions. On completion of these missions, the host will be rewarded depending on the completion rating.

The system in his head explained its purpose.

'So, it's just like my old mysterious organization.'

As soon as he heard the system's explanation, Lucas felt he didn't have a use for the system.

In his past life, he used to complete the missions to get money and other items which he didn't want to do; however, once again the same thing is repeating in this new life.

'I don't need you to become the Sovereign of this world.'

Once he said those words, Lucas didn't even bother to talk with the system anymore.

...…

Silverstone town.

Silverstone town is one of the busiest towns in the Barren firmament because there is a huge forest a few kilometers away from the town.

As a result, this town is always filled with various people with different professions.

It only took 20 minutes for Lucas and others to enter the town and without wasting any time, they looked for a nice inn, paid for a week to stay in the inn.

Soon, they freshened up before Evan soundly slept in the soft bed.

'Old man, let's talk about our finances and future.'

Once Evan fell asleep, Lucas walked into the other room while asking the old man Bernard to follow him.

"Young master Lucas, before the family head had died, he gave me 10000 gold coins and removing the 10 gold coins we spent for the inn and food, we still have 9990 golden coins."

After entering the other room, the old man explained everything to Lucas while taking out a small pouch and gave it to Lucas.

'Ding,

Detected a small spatial pouch that contains 9990 gold coins.

'Ding,

Unlocking the Sovereign shop for the host to purchase items from it.

Just as he touched the small pouch, two system notifications rang in his head that made Lucas frown a little.
