Chapter 488: Prologue Book 8
In a dark room, the silhouette of a humanoid figure slowly faded into existence. If Derek were to look at the figure, he would instantly recognize him as Dave. Once his figure was finished appearing, Dave walked forward. He went through the room he appeared in, then into another.
The new room had one center, throne-like seat, and then was surrounded on either side by more, smaller throne-like seats. Dave continued walking forward until he reached the middle seat, then sat down.
“Report,” Dave said to nobody. However, as soon as he spoke, one transparent figure after another began appearing in many of the remaining seats. Finally, an elf at the side stepped forward and came before Dave.

“Well, before the siren advanced, she led a team to defeat the World Tree,” the man replied.
Dave held his arm up—causing a holographic screen to appear. After that, he punched in a few commands, then nodded. “I see,” he said. “I guess my brother doesn’t have all the luck, after all.” He continued to read something on his screen, then raised his brows. “The Origin System assisted again in awarding an Achievement?

“It did, sir,” the other elf replied. “Though I do not understand everyone’s obsession with that man. You were well on your way; I do not understand why you decided to take that gamble.”
“Sereph,” Dave said, and the elf before him bowed once again. “Let me ask you a question.”
