Absolute Relic

When Yasuo awoke the next day, he looked left and right, a bit vigilant of his surroundings; he was about to stand up and take a shower when he heard a sound in his head,' System initiating, system checking for any injuries, virus, etc that are and could be endangering host's life.'

Yasuo gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly; the pain he felt after the message he had just heard in his mind was unbearable, and even his nails penetrated his palm's skin, blood flowing out of them.

Aghh!

Despite feeling such pain countless times in his past life, the pain he felt was caused by a part of his body or several parts, but he never felt a pain that encompassed the entirety of his body at the same.

Within seconds, sweat soaked his back, forehead, and even his clothes, while blood trickled down his hands.

'System check out turned positive; the host is clean and could be chosen as the master of the godly relic. System activation is in process... System activated. Welcome Host to the Absolute Authority: Holy Land system.'

"Pheww! I almost saw death waving at me for a split second; thank god it's over!"

"This!" Yasuo's eyes went wide open in the next second; his chest tightened, and his body shuddered.

Suddenly, and before he could even react.

A strange suction pulled Yasuo's body towards a foreign place.

In that unfamiliar place, a towering black door composed of light loomed before him. It appeared ancient and indestructible, as though it had existed since the dawn of time.

It was hard to describe the feeling. Even Yasuo's mouth was open agape, unsure what to think or say.

Yet, deep within his mind, he sensed this was an opportunity he couldn't afford to miss.

Beyond the gate lay a curtain of pale red light.

It rippled like water, its surface undulating in a constant, mesmerizing rhythm.

"What is this?"

Yasuo exclaimed in surprise.

Driven by an uncontrollable desire, he subconsciously stepped forward and reached out to touch the ethereal door.

The next second, rows of illusory text flashed through his field of view.

Remark: Despite the Host living 325 years in total and bathing in the fame of being the most sinister mage of his time, the host still managed to be fooled by a bunch of kids in a lowly world! Tsk...Tsk, what a disappointment.

'This is most likely a system of what everyone here on earth is reading and talking about,' Yasuo thought in amusement; he didn't believe that after 17 years of living in this cage of a world, he would actually get to experience the fantasies of this world top powerhouses and even youngsters.

At the same time, this is the reason he wasn't greatly shocked when he heard the voice in his head. After all, how could a Reicarnator not have a Golden Finger of his own?

As he darted his eyes from one piece of information to another, his gaze suddenly stopped at Age:325.

'Oh, it seems like it also calculated my age in total. It seems like it knows everything about me and my soul. Such powers!' Yasuo wasn't sure about his own analysis and kept reading further down, only to be met with a remark text.

Immediately after, his face contorted into an ugly form, and his eyelashes trembled uncontrollably.

He wasn't angry; instead, he felt his pride stung by its words.

Not helping it, Yasuo said," System, you do realize that I'm not dumb, don't you? Their scheme, although well thought out from the beginning and even a bit strange, was still evident at a glance. The only thing mysterious was their reason for plotting against this body."

Calming down his heart and anger, Yasuo asked," So, Absolute Authority system, what are you exactly."

Till this moment, Yasuo didn't know the exact functions of the system except the interface that displayed his information.

"That would be my mistake; I haven't done this since... Oh yes, I never did this before ." Yasuo heard an old, emotionless voice echo in his mind, and before him materialized a floating black book that seemed both ethereal and tangible simultaneously. "Hello, master, I'm what you can call a godly or absolute relic that has been there forever; feeling bored and without a purpose, I dropped my ego and chose a master to serve till he fails and gets himself killed."

Once again, Yasuo's face twisted involuntarily into an unpleasant expression.

For some unknown reason, he felt that this so-called absolute relic was a bit too rude... Or rather, honest?

Still, Yasuo felt quite pleased that it wasn't some unknown higher power trying to possess his body somehow after he grew strong enough so he could resurrect after millions of years of searching for its soul's host.

The system continued after giving Yasuo a few seconds to absorb the information it had just given.

Absolute Authority: The Holy Land System, or the 'System,' is a universal location that provides accommodation, safety, and other functions to those who wish to use it. The Cosmic Stars inside a universe are very dangerous but also filled with roaming warriors and merchants, and the system's clients come from all walks of life. The system's goal is to be a location where all strong people gather to cultivate or hide from mighty enemies.

"Please note, the Holy Land, which the system provides for this function, is no charity, and only cultivators with enough money are allowed to stay in it."

Yasuo found the system's words obvious. He wouldn't agree to charge people for free, much less this absolute relic.

"So from what I understood, system, you chose me to be your master and manage the Holy Land you provide, invite people over, and accommodate them to various of our institutes? But, does that mean from the first client, everyone will be way stronger than me since I'm basically a mortal now?" he asked, a bit uneasy.
