Chapter 68: You have a confession
Aric decided to be at the city for two to three more months before leaving. The journey from the Echorysia to the capital of Vallin was a bit time consuming so there was no rush anyways. He still had time and would use these months to convert as much gold as possible. Because once he was in an empire, the use of his gold would stop and he would have to rely on his ’talents’ to get by.
But if his powers allowed him to hop into different planets too, then maybe his use of gold would remain the same. Only time would tell about that part. At the moment he would just let his manga grow slowly before he would decide on cashing out.
The tickets were already booked at a luxurious and highly secured cruise. Luxurious because he wanted to have a pleasant journey and secured because at the moment they were in no man’s land and so there were space pirates too that lurk around, mostly outside of the empire but even inside of an empire there were chances of being ambushed by space pirates and have their belonging stolen.
Aric didn’t want a typical story where he would have to confront the pirates and act heroic. He just needed to get to his destination safely without any hitch. Thus he chose the safest route even though it burnt a hole in his pocket.

It was early 2008, so there were many things that were not available in the Internet at the moment. But he could slowly make an empire for himself in this world at the moment.
"Mira, is the software I wanted you to make ready?" Aric asked after he was back at home.
"It was finished days ago, it was only you who was stalling." Mira replied.
"I wasn’t sure about the future but now I am." Aric got embarrassed for being the forgetful guy that he was.
"I will launch the software to the internet but would limit the number of downloads and also push the software in such a way that major companies would take a look at your software." Mira said. This got the approval of Aric and it didn’t take long for Mira to work her magic and upload the software into various websites of the internet.
She made it free to download but gave a validity of a year. Which was more than enough because Aric was 100% sure that in a few months major companies would take a look at his software and then he could slowly build his empire from there.
Aric also needed to open a bank account and Mira had told him that Citibank had actually launched a scheme to make an account that could transact internationally for minors. He only needed the consent of his father and a branch of the bank was located at the town.
