The Tale of the Void Emperor

At this moment, One side of Eyfeed was a bit lively.

The four Nimpere clan brothers were lamenting while also admiring Athan. And Tiana, Avelia, and Linci were practicing as they sparred against each other in the ground next to Efyeed.

Mike and Qerin returned to Great Bridgade Palace after acquiring the innate physique.

Linci, Avelia, and Tiana decided to take a break as they flew down and looked at Athan, who was standing with his eyes closed while golden threads were swirling around him.

  "I wonder when Athan will wake up? Can you take a guess about it, Linci?" Avelia asked Linci as she and Tiana didn't know much about order occupation.

But Linci shook her head and said, "I can't guess. Athan has entered one of the rarest forms of enlightenment regarding order occupation. Having this epiphany means that....his comprehension and affinity of Runic Artist path are very high. It is known as the Blessing of the Runic Order because this is a blessing granted by the Chaosverse to exceptional individuals."

Tiana was surprised and asked, " Before he entered this enlightenment eight months, he already became 3-star Runic Artist, right? Then how much will he progress once this enlightenment is finished?"

It's been a year since Athan started his practice as Runic Artist, and after practicing for four months non-stop, he became a 3-star Runic Artist. He didn't even eat any Kuriazak fruits sent to him by Dean Lenix in those four months since he was so absorbed in practice.

But right after he became a 3-star Runic Artist, He received this enlightenment known as the Blessing of the Runic order, and since then, he has been just standing there with his eyes closed as those golden threads swirled around him.

In the first month of Athan having this enlightenment, the news spread far and wide with a big uproar as many people came to see him. Dean Lenix, various Hill Masters, and some outsiders also arrived to see this rare phenomenon of Blessing of the Runic order.

Naturally, all major powers now knew about Athan because the news about him being able to have this rare enlightenment was printed in Sun-Moon News scrolls that are distributed across the whole Midguard continent.

[ A genius has revealed himself in the Chaos Monolith Hill! According to our information, He only took four months to initiate the path of Runic Artist and another four months to become a 3-star Runic Artist. But that's just the tip of the iceberg. The real shocker is that because of his exceptional talents; He managed to get the rare enlightenment, Blessing of the Runic Order! AND He is just in Orderic Catastrophe stage and his age...well, we shall not disclose this as it will break the heart of many younglings. ]

Naturally, they mentioned his age in the next paragraph and still broke the heart of countless people who were struggling just to initiate the path of Runic Artist.

In that month, the Nimpere brothers also woke up and were shocked to see many new changes around their Big Brother.

Two months after that, Mike, Qerin, Tiana, and Avelia also woke up after acquiring the innate physiques.

And at the present time, It's been a total of eight months since Athan entered this enlightenment, and Avelia and Tiana were waiting for Athan to wake up for five months.

"The threads around him are increasing each day and getting more profound; this is definitely the sign of him improving while in enlightenment," Tiana spoke as she looked at Athan.

"Hehe, I am also practicing every day, and when he wakes up, I am going to cook him delicious dishes." Avelia giggled and said with a happy smile.

Linci looked at Avelia and said with a grin, "You also seem to have a very high affinity with Mystic Chef path; in just those five months, you managed to become 2-star Mystic Chef."

Tiana smiled as she remembered one of the parts of the memory information given to her by Athan. 

In that part, Athan and Avelia had a slightly stiff relationship, but Avelia would cook for Athan every day, and the food would mysterious disappear. 

Tiana couldn't remember that part properly but felt that the disappearance was related to her and Mimi.

"Avelia, isn't it time to cook some food? hehe, let's see how much you improved since last month." Tiana said with a chuckle.

"What! Sister Avelia is going to cook day? Hahaha, Let's go and get some good ingredients!" Eldest brother spoke with shock before he laughed out loud.

The second brother also cheered, "Yeahhhhhh! Let's go, eldest. We might also find our future wives on the way, so we shall not miss this chance of adventure." 

On the other hand, the Third and Fourth brothers didn't waste their breaths as they just flew away while speaking, "You two dumbos, stop wasting time on talking, and let's go."

"Holy shit, Eldest! The third and fourth brothers are getting sharper than us...hmmm. I would be pissed to hell if they managed to get their partners before us."

Afterward, The eldest and second brothers also flew away as four of them went to the Trade & Market hill since it's one of the most populated places, and many beauties are roaming the market constantly.

Tiana, Avelia, and Linci couldn't help but laugh at the antics of those four brothers.

...

While flying towards the Market & Trade hill, the four brothers were discussing about their chances seriously.

"There are bound to be many beauties there, but nobody will act recklessly, understood?"

"What do you mean, Eldest?"

"What I mean is that...we will make our moves by order. If we think about getting our partners all at once, it will take time, so...how about you all help me first?" The eldest brother spoke with a solemn expression.

"What! That's not fair, eldest."

"What's not fair? Humph, think about my face! I am the eldest brother, so I should be the first one. Look at it in a logical process; if we work together, then I will be able to find my other half quickly, right?"

The other three brothers nodded.

"But, Eldest-"

"No buts! Just listen first. After we are done with me, my wife and I will also help you, and with a girl on our side, It will be even easier to find partners for you, right? say, am I right?"

" Ohhh...." The three brothers nodded in understanding.

The eldest said a few more things and finally convinced his three brothers.

"Brilliant, Eldest! Now I am starting to see the hope of us succeeding in this endeavor quicker than expected!"

The eldest proudly smiled, "Of course! I am the eldest brother, after all. Now let's go and find some good quality ingredients first. If I find a beauty, then I will approach her while you support me, understood?"

"Aye, aye, Eldest!" The three brothers spoke in chorus. 

As such, the four brothers soon reached the market and it didn't take long for the eldest to find a beauty as his eyes wide opened.

"Hey, you three. You know what to do."

After saying that, the eldest approached the beautiful girl with mouse ears and a tail with gorgeous dark blue hair.

She was looking at the stall that was selling beast cores.

'So she is walking on the path of Alchemist? Hmmm...,' Eldest thought while approaching her.

"Hello, beautiful. I haven't seen you before. Are you a new recruit?"

The girl looked at the eldest as she raised her eyebrows and nodded, "Yeah, I am new recruit. Who are you? Do you have any business with me?"

The eldest glanced at the beast cores before he looked at the girl and smiled as he praised her, "You must be quite a talented Alchemist since you are looking at 5-star beast cores despite being a new recruit. Very impressive."

The girl looked at the stall before she chuckled and shook her head, "Oh that? Hahaha, I am not the Alchemist but my boyfriend is. I am just here to get some materials for him."

*kacha...*

The three brothers who were walking towards the eldest with the plan of praising him to heaven in front of beauty paused in their steps as they clearly heard the sound of glass breaking.

The eldest brother smiled sadly as his lips twitched slightly before he said, "May you live a very happy life. Goodbye beauty."
