As they decided to change route and go to a different town, days passed and regal's stats get more absurdly strong. In the morning regal always do his quest { Path to the Invincibility } As usual Mad monkey will prep are for the food. He cook different types of food following the recipe he knew from earth so they won't eat roast always. Regal do that while regal hunt some beast for their food and exp but of course as his lvl rose higher, the exp he needs rose higher also. even so he didn't find it surprising as they traverse the forest they didn't encounter anymore human.
And Mad monkey and Regal talked more they got closer and their day go like this they didn't encounter any desperate danger, but sometimes they encounter new species that they didn't knew before. And Regal always listens to the so called 'Novels from earth' that Mad monkey always mentioned of course the day goes by mad monkey becomes more shameless, to the point that he didn't fear regal anymore and says more absurd stuff.
But now regal got used to it of course mad monkey now considered regal as his first friend in this world. Tho he got the lackey title regal really didn't order him in fact he feel guilty for just leeching food and protection, but after he considered regal as a friend for mad monkey this thing is extremely normal for friends to do and he always promise regal that he will one day pay back regal. But regal didn't mind he still calls him mad monkey and considered him as his first friend also.
"Even if you're my rival your also my friend if I awaken the system and I become strong don't worry I will still always be your handsome friend. There will be a time where we rule this lands, I promise to pay back this time of leeching," Mad monkey shamelessly remark.
"I don't mind, in fact I'll be grateful if you become less shameless first before becoming a ruler of the land that you said, don't worry you will awaken the system someday maybe I can help you. How about I cut you a couple of times all over your body?" regal said grinning.
Mad monkey glared and pounded his chest like a gorilla with his thin frame, and go into the boxing position. "Come on bring it on thought I'm afraid of you just because you have the system come on bring it on" Mad monkey said angrily spitting his saliva all over the place while talking.
"That pounding your chest befits you, and you now being angry really are a mad monkey" Regal laugh this is genuine laughter.
Of course mad monkey is mad at the remark but he is happy, he have regal as a friend and a genuine friend which he knew he will cherish in this lifetime. And he also now knew that he will be a supporting character of regal but he doesn't care even if he's not an MC he will still have his harem and that is his determination.
They both blabber back and forth two young men happily chatting.
...
Xan City
"Finally we're back let's head straight to the manor. Gather all of the men under you and tell them to come here in three days time after my father left the city. We will proceed the plan after my father left the city." Said Ben Xan
"Young Lord is this appropriate the City Lord will be mad if he founds out and we might be punished and be throw into the dungeon" Said the lead guard.
"Don't worry this City will belong to me sooner or later even if he knew what's going on it will be too late. Some of his confidant are already so you don't need to worry I'll cover you all. If this plan succeed of course all of you will get benefits also." Said Ben Xan.
"Thanks young lord" Then the man bowed.
"Now the only problem is the adventurer guild huh. This is also the reason why I can't fully we cannot fathom the power of those adventurers. And what is it's backer but my dad always bows his head to those adventurers. But I am not the same" A cold light flicker in his eyes for a sec then it all return to normal.
...
This day regal thought to be a normal day proceeding on his usual routine on accomplishing the quest.
But at this point there's a change of what's happening to him. He suddenly found himself in a different area where there is nothing, Regal is familiar at this place tho he didn't see the altar only nothing. A vast space where everything is gray.
[THE 50TH DAY ON THE PATH OF THE INVINCIBILITY]
-CLEAR THE TOWER OF DEMISE FIRST FLOOR AND REACH LEVEL 100+
QUEST REWARD: UNKNOWN
Then regal saw this words in front of him in an unknown ancient language but for some reason he can read it.
Then he checked the system and he saw the quest of the path of the invincibility that he got is also the same quest on the one showing on his screen.
"If I'll be stuck here how will Mad monkey fare I don't know how long will I be stuck here. And he doesn't have the power of the system yet." Regal was flushed tho monkey was annoying he was his only friend.
But Regal has no option on the void a tore crack at the center and slowly a large ancient and grand stairs up ahead of him with exactly 50 steps like a staircase of the gods and giants. The stairs is massive and he can't measure because he's on the void and he doesn't have reference but he looks like an ant compare to each step of that stairs.
"So I need to finish this as quickly as possible, Mad monkey might be in danger with that he quickly ran towards the the grand staircase.
...
But while this is happening in some unknown part of the forest all of the beast and animal tremble and whimper.In the extreme depths of the sea at some far away location an extremely large beast open his eyes and a bright red flashed in his eyes and that beast said.
"What is this pressure even my soul is trembling who has this power that even my soul made it tremble" Said the beast while looking at some far away distance before closing it eyes again.
At the top of a building sitting there a man with green hair and green eyes white skin wearing a tuxedo with a tall nose and chiseled face, the building is modern like the tall buildings on the earth, But this building is as tall as mountain and a volcano and the surrounding building it is also modern but larger that than 5 times on a normal company on earth.
"What is this presence dispatch scout teams and investigate where does this presence came from. It didn't came from the dome. Go" Ordered the middle aged man.
In an extremely tall tower sitting was a man 10 meters tall. His physique is extremely buff his hair and beard looks like a mane of a lion his eyes extremely ferocious and his mouth has sharp teeth. But other than he looks like a human with extremely different physique he wears .
"Notify the team that we send there that locate presence and find out what's the cause of this phenomena. Also ask one of the heir of an auxiliary branch to go there personally. The Xion clan must get to the bottom of this." Said the Lion looking man.
'Interesting is it the other family? If it does this will be fun. The old records of othe history said there's only one man who caused the turbulence in the whole realm.'
And many more pay attention to the phenomena and send their scout teams.
All across the realm sense this strange phenomena.
...
While this is happening Regal has no idea and he climbed into the first step of the staircase and his vision and the world around him changed.
He stepped on a new world. Or a world that he had never experienced or seen.
...
"ALL OF THIS IS ONLY BUT A PART OF YOUR SMALL JOURNEY. WHETHER YOU FALTER AND FALL OR STRIVE AND RISE METEORICALLY DEPENDS ON YOU. WILL YOU BREAK THE SHACKLES AND FULFILL YOU'RE TRUE FREEDOM. I CAN'T WAIT TO FIND OUT. IF YOU LAST THAT LONG THERE WILL BE A DAY THAT WE WILL MEET SOON REGAL."
This voice came from the void but no once can hear it.
