The week went by with Zero growing more irritated each day when he didn’t hear any news from Poseidon. The blind titan didn’t seem to want to be involved with anything complicated, satisfied with simply waiting and living day by day. Zero really couldn’t see the difference between his teacher and Carlsen. However, unlike Carlsen who was really stuck to his shell, Poseidon trapped himself in the shell of Hyacinth, giving many reasons to not leave it. In short, Zero wasn’t too happy about…-

Zero groaned and stretched as he scrunched his nose and screwed his eyes tight. That was probably one of the best naps he ever had and woke up in somewhat a daze. It took the teenager some time to understand where he was and why walking was so difficult. Nobody walked when they were underwater. When Zero finally recalled that he was still on Hyacinth and sleeping in the guest room, he yawned and retreated to the lamp where he could get something decent to fill his growling stomach. Zoe had been…

Half a month passed peacefully on Hyacinth and Zero’s return took everyone by surprise. The lad hadn’t sent word in advance and caused the servants in the sea temple to go into chaos after knowing that he was back. Instead of greeting his teacher first, Zero went to the place he created whirlpools and started working on the planet’s infrastructure. Fusing Gummer’s weak planet core into Hyacinth’s dead core was slightly trickier than Zero thought it would be. The dead core wasn’t very…

Lily took it back. She took it all back! Zero’s luck couldn’t have been any worse despite his confidence. They were initially twenty million years away from Gummer but after taking three wormholes to weird places, Zero was now two hundred million years away from Gummer on a place that not even the maps could help him with. \"Don’t worry, Lily. It’s not that bad. At least there is plenty of space junk that I can absorb while we wait for a new wormhole to appear. Besides, isn’t this an…

Travelling to Gummer wasn’t easy. It was even harder than getting to Hyacinth! On the bright side, Poseidon allowed Zero to create a waypoint teleportation mark on Hyacinth so that the teen could return easily without riding on a lightning bolt. Although it wasn’t a proper portal like those in Garden of Roth, Zero was happy that the titan was very understanding of his travelling difficulties. Still, it was only a waypoint that Zero could use. Nobody else could travel in or out of Hyacinth which was…

It wasn’t very difficult for Zero to understand how the game of chess worked. In fact, he had some practice playing it with his mindscape assistants. Mii and Wii proved to be tough competition combined. The sisters were able to calculate in advance the moves Zero would make and create strategies to counter Zero’s moves. It frustrated the teen a lot how they were always steps ahead of him. While Zero physically slept, he was kept busy in the mindscape playing chess and several other strategy games…

Zero stayed in Poseidon’s sea temple for a few days, enjoying the luxury of an esteemed guest while he became the titan’s conversation buddy. The titan was very interested in what happened while he was out of touch with the world. Zero didn’t keep anything from Poseidon and also admitted that his knowledge was lacking. It didn’t take long for the teen to spill the truth about his origins after that and Poseidon didn’t know how to react to finding out about Zero’s identity. \"Are you sure you…

Poseidon couldn’t believe it. Back then, desserts were often hard as rocks and wouldn’t go down without good tea or wine. Now, these cakes as Zero called them melted the moment he put them in his mouth. The pies were sweet and gave off a baked fragrance that he never knew before. Who would have thought that the cuisine served in Hell would surpass the feasts they threw in Heaven several thousand years ago? Zero proved to be more challenging than Poseidon thought he would be. If the teen resembled a…

Zero wanted to sigh when he saw the second trial’s setup. Compared to that mind-boggling maze, he didn’t think that he could shimmy his way through this one. The level of difficulty had suddenly spiked and if Zero was going to follow the same rules as before, he couldn’t do anything against these guards. \"What should we do?\" the strawcherry assistant asked. According to the map, there were at least two hundred servants and guards in the second trial all waiting for Zero to step out of what…

\"Master, I’m detecting more activity and life signatures now. It’s a little too coincidental but I believe this is a trap to lure us in. What should we do?\" Wii asked. Zero smiled. Finally, some solid leads to where Poseidon was. \"We’ll follow them. I’m going to avoid conflict and fighting if possible. After all, I came here to talk. Do you still have the gifts I prepared?\" Mii rolled her eyes. \"Yes. I’ve even checked all the enchantments you’ve put on them. They’re still very…
