A/N: A bonus chapter will be released to close this conversation. I don't want to end this week on a cliffhanger ____ "Is it right to just reveal my fate like this?" Guy questioned with a tinge of worry in his voice. "From what I've heard, there can be great consequences if your action changes the course in any way." "Things that are supposed to happen will happen, remember?" Krish winked. "What I am about to tell you won't change anything. You won't voluntarily stop in your tracks - are you planning…-

"My decision is influenced in large part by what I saw a little while back when you were performing the |Soul Imprint| on Jean," Krish began. "As I've indicated before, through my eyes, your fate appears as murky as the Swamps of Garand. However, at that moment in time, your fate burst with a magnificent spark. In fact, this wasn't the first time such an event transpired, the same phenomenon occurred when you performed your first |Soul Imprint| on Markus." Guy's mind immediately formed a connection…

Al was shaken by the sudden intrusion into his mind. This was partly because he could not trace back to the origin of the transmission - it was perfectly cloaked! To be able to accomplish this, the source must have strength far exceeding his own. Al wanted to revert with a question to identify this expert, however, due to the lack of a "footprint", he was unable to do so. Thus, Al's only remaining option was to wait. Having lived for so long, Al was thoroughly inducted into the way of the world - the…

Teachers, with a capitalised 'T', have become ubiquitous with the dissemination of magic and cultivation arts. Historically, Teachers are relatively new entrants into the wild world of cultivation, breaching into prominence within the last ten thousand years give or take five thousand. The standard logic for a very long time was to hoard knowledge. To grow stronger in isolation, achieve advancements in cultivation, and go against the Heavens and all that. However, one fine day, a certain mage had a bright…

"That is quite sudden," Al commented about Guy's declaration. "And out of character. What brought about this change?" "After a rather harrowing introspection, I've come to realise a few shortcomings of mine that I feel need to be addressed immediately," Guy nodded affirmatively as he elaborated. He then proceeded to summarise his insights about himself concisely, vis-à-vis his aversion to conflict and extreme passivity. "I don't see how that is a problem?" Al responded. "Your level-headedness and…

If anything, the almost-hostile-takeover Guy experienced by his more zealous counterpart was a much-needed wake-up call. For one, he realised that his previous life wasn't as impactful as he had thought it to be. Many achievements which he considered monumental milestones appeared to have been built on a foundation of sand. 'It seems that my accomplishments and initiatives were inconsequential in the grand scheme of things.' Secondly, he finally recognised that this world was much worse than his previous…

A few hours before Guy rescued Al from getting dissolved inside his Student's core. A long-awaited confrontation took place inside the RoK. "I need to hear the truth, Mast," Guy declared. After entering the RoK, he now faced Mast's avatar, which also happened to resemble Guy's form from his past life. "The whole truth, about my death." (What's there to learn? I've told you everything,) Mast shrugged. "I don't believe that you have," Guy rebutted with a frown. "You have been lying to me. I want to hear…

Al was pleasantly surprised by the satisfying squishiness of the red, doughnut-shaped units floating through the tunnel. Through some deductive reasoning, Al had realised that he was probably inside a blood vessel, and these red objects were the blood that flowed through them. Al had observed these cells, as Guy called them, on a few occasions during his past research work in medicinal alchemy. At that time, he had dismissed it as irrelevant as his work wasn't really focusing on microbiology. With a…

Al hummed in thought before saying, "If I had to put it into words, then your cultivation has a vastness, all-encompassing feeling to it." He then turned to Jean and added, "While yours is more measured, precise and focused. It also feels spotless." "That's not helpful," Markus commented while shaking his head. "What if we compare our insights - what we observed and assimilated that induced the advancement? Maybe that might reveal more." Jean furrowed her brows in contemplation. "It was less of a…

A/N: Start of Volume 3 ____ Markus exhaled loudly and stretched his body outwards while letting the cool morning breeze brush up against his face. He gazed into the clear blue sky, and let the first rays of sunlight invigorate his skin. Although not much had changed in the outside world within the past two weeks, everything seemed different to him, given his overhauled and boosted senses. The vibrant tapestry of colours around him looked a tad brighter and livelier. The muted bumble of birds and small…
