Chapter 47: Selena Hao
Kai sat there like a lifeless man in the company of a child.
It troubled him.
The last temple, and what little Hao had told him about it, made Kai think that the game wasn’t as simple as he had thought.
When he first came to the Primordial Tower, he had thought it would be just about killing, ascending, becoming powerful in the worlds, and repeating the process. Now, he would have to retake every step he had trodden, trying to find a cause, a reason which hadn’t existed before in his mind.
The first of those steps was his Luck.
Kai shook his head, trying to shake off the uneasy feeling in his mind. There was no reason to dwell on things that he didn’t understand fully yet.
Let’s go to the Guild, Kai thought. Use my father and steal some Mission Credits, weapons, and materials. Go to the battle, and return to the Random World. Yes. Let’s start with becoming powerful.
But just as he turned around, the boy who looked as if he had passed out called out to him.
"Wait..." little Hao said meekly. "You going to the Silver Hunters Guild?"
Kai frowned. "Yes."
"Don’t go there," the boy said, opening his swollen eyes a little. "Mother said something bad had happened there 3 days ago."
