"Right. System, is it possible to hide my strength?" Christopher asked the system. It would be far too suspicious if Christopher disappeared for only a few hours only to come back a few ranks stronger.
"That's perfect, keep it at the peak of the Orange rank." Christopher said.
"That's exactly what I needed. Well, now that I've settled that, let's go shopping." Christopher thought and decided to exit the dimension.

In a dark room that wasn't too big or too large, a robed figure could be seen sitting cross legged on a cot, his expression impossible to make out from the misty dark energy that swirled around him.
The figure stayed in that position without moving a muscle. In fact, they didn't even seem to breathe as they remained perfectly still.
At that moment, another robed figure entered the room and bowed respectfully to the one on the cot.
"Eminence, there is something of note to report." The one standing said respectfully.
The one referred to as Eminence didn't move for a few seconds, and then like an un-oiled robot, his head nodded up and down as an indicator for the one standing to proceed.
"The mission to obtain the Legend's Sword Shard was a failure. There was an unaccounted possibility which caused the plan to fail." The robed figure explained.
The Eminence didn't reply and instead tilted his head for a moment.
"Show me." The two words were filled with ancientness and coldness that didn't seem possible for a human being to express.
Regardless, the one standing nodded and brought out a black ball before tapping on it. Then, a holographic image appeared above the ball showing a certain scene. It was the scene of Christopher blocking the beam attack from Idris before having Silver completely decimate everyone there in an instant.
The one on the cot watched the video and said nothing as they considered for a moment.
"Find out who this individual is and who he is affiliated with. If he is unaffiliated with anyone, try to make him join us. If he refuses, kill him and everyone related to him. We cannot have such a wildcard interfering with such important tasks." The being said coldly and the one standing nodded.
"What about the Legend's Sword Shard?" He then asked.
"It should have reached the head of the Darius Family by now. Trying to retrieve it at this moment would be foolish. Leave it for now and focus on retrieving the other Shards. You are dismissed." The being said.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
The other one nodded and left the room, leaving the being to himself.

"Gasp!" In a unique bed chamber that seemed to be within a massive tree, a very beautiful girl who seemed to be in her twenties sat upwards with his shocked expression, sweat covering her body as she panted.
Her hair was pure white and her ears were long and pointed, indicating her status as an elf.
"It's no problem at all, please follow me." She bowed and turned and started walking. Christopher followed after her and they went up a set of stairs to the next level. She then took him to an area that was filled with all sorts of armours that gave off unique auras.
"Are any of these to your liking?" She asked and Christopher looked all of them over.
Rank: Blue Affinity: Darkness, Poison Abilities → Description: An Armor set designed to aid the wearer speed and well as protect them.> Christopher saw the specs and was immediately satisfied. With his weapon choice and combat style, he decided that something that wouldn't impair his speed but still protect him properly would do him well. And this Armor was exactly what he needed. "I'll take this." He said and the woman nodded before raising her hand. The ring on her finger flashed purple before the whole armor set vanished. She then took Christopher to another area that was filled with all sorts of masks. Christopher looked all of them over before stopping on a plain white mask that had a gold line run across the left eye. Rank: Blue Affinity: Illusion, Light Abilities → Description: A mask geared specifically towards hiding the identity of the wearer.> Christopher was once again satisfied and indicated it as his choice. The woman nodded and brought him back to the first floor and to a counter before laying the things he bought on it. "The armour set and the Mask will cost you a total of 180 gold coins." She said and Christopher nodded. Then his expression turned strange. "Would you guys happen to have change?" He asked at the woman looked at him in confusion. "Change?" She asked and Christopher nodded before bringing a Stellar Coming out. "Don't freak out please." He said and placed the coin on the table. She stared at it and her brain went blank for a moment causing Christopher to sigh. 'I should've seen this coming.' He thought. "S- Stellar coin." She said absentmindedly before snapping out of it. "Wh- We'll get your change soon sir!" She said realizing that the person in front of her was someone who shouldn't be messed with and quickly ran towards the back. "Well that was an oversight on my part." He sighed.
