MMORPG : Ancient WORLD - #121 - 121 Broken Skills

‘I am surprised that these two are Elemental Rulers.’ Alex thought silently, standing next to Varon and two of his shadow guardian.

Darrien and Margaret were (Middle) Eighth Rank warriors, and after the introduction, they both casually took the law oath to protect Alex’s life for the next two years.

The law oath tied the life of two elemental Rulers with Alex’s well-being, which was very surprising but also made it clear that Alex was getting the treatment because of his status and needed to work hard to keep it.

“Domain Ruler, Darrien will be your guardian and teacher, as he will be responsible for teaching you physical and magical combat, while Lady Margaret will teach you about Mana and everything related to it,” Varon said.

‘Learning from two great Elemental Rulers will be a great experience.’ Alex thought, happy about the news.

“Domain Ruler, Do you know how to use your continental teleportation skill?” Varon asked.

“Domain Ruler, you must precisely follow a few steps to use the continental teleportation skill,” Varon said, seeing Alex shake his head in decline.

“You need first to sense your connection with the domain, which will be the easiest step, and then you will see an astral projection of the whole world, which will be very overwhelming, and you will probably lose consciousness.”

“After you can maintain your consciousness while seeing the astral projection of the world, you need to mark the continent and select a safe place for teleportation,” Varon said.

‘What? What astral projection?’ Alex thought, trying to make sense of the newly gained information.

“Domain Ruler, To sense your connection with the domain, you just need to concentrate and feel the mana inside your body and then gather the mana in your heart, and then everything will become clear to you,” Varon said.

‘Let’s do what Varon says and see what will happen.’ Alex thought as he closed his eyes.

After emptying his mind of all the thoughts, Alex started sensing the mana inside his body, which was an easy thing to accomplish because of his past life training, and just as Varon said, he easily guided the mana to his heart.

After guiding mana to his heart for a few seconds, Alex felt a jolt of shock, and then his mind went black for a moment, and the next thing he saw wasn’t pitch darkness but the incredible view of a giant world.

Alex stood in a dark empty vacuum of space in ghost form, and in front of him was the view of the giant colorful planet that he was very familiar with as he saw it every time he entered the game.

‘This is the Ancient World?’ Alex was a little confused as he looked at the giant, colorful world before him.

Alex was confused because the world in front of him was the Ancient World he saw every time he entered the game, but it looked much different from the one he remembered.

‘This should be what the real Ancient World looks like.’ Alex thought as he stood in a dark vacuum of space.

The Ancient World Alex was looking at looked completely different from the one he remembered, as it showed five large continents on just the one side of the world that he could currently see and not the usual one or two continents.

‘This overly green continent is (Mother Adobe) the Elf continent, and this continent with the sky-piercing mountains is the Dwarven continent, but what about these other three unique-looking continents?’ Alex thought, intrigued by the new discovery.

‘I still haven’t lost my consciousness like Varon said I would, which is a good thing, but now the question is how do I mark the human continent, which is on the other side of the world.’ Alex thought as he stood silently.

‘How did I do this?’ Alex thought as his vision zoomed on to one of the three unknown continents.

‘I was thinking about what this giant volcano looks like from up close before this happened.’ Alex realized and immediately tried to return his view to normal, and without any delay, his sight returned to normal.

‘This is great.’ Alex thought as he focused back onto the unknown continents that was filled with thousands of small and big volcanos.

‘This is so much fun.’ Alex thought as he focused on the volcano with a tremendous amount of lava oozing out of it.

Alex played with his ability for two minutes, and while he was searching the volcanic continent to see if there were any man-made structures on it, his head went blank, and he lost consciousness.

————

‘What is going on.’ Alex thought as he opened his eyes to the sound of system notifications ringing in his head.

[Congratulation Player Hidden One]

[Astral World Projection Skill Gained]

[Continental Teleportation Skill Gained]

“Domain Ruler, How was your first experience with the astral world projection.” Lady Margaret asked.

Alex looked around and found himself in a luxury room, lying on a bed, and around the bed stood Varon, Lady Margaret, Darrien, and the palace head Maid.

‘I think this is what Lady Margaret meant by losing consciousness.’ Alex thought as he took an upright position on the bed, still slightly startled by the unique astral projection experience.

“I was able to see many unknown continents that I had no idea existed, and I was able to closely view any place and adjust my sight by just thinking about it,” Alex replied with what he experienced.

“Domain Ruler, You can do that, and you can also teleport to any place in the world of astral projection, but with your current mental strength, the time you can stay in there is very limited, and it will get shortened every time you do something as it will consume your mental strength.” Lady Margaret said with a smile.

‘My mental strength should have run out, making me unconscious.’ Alex thought as he opened the system window.

“Domain Ruler, Drink this potion, as it will help you quickly recover your mental strength.” Ealirel, the head maid, gave Alex a potion bottle with transparent liquid inside.

“Domain Ruler, You just need to think about marking a continent after teleporting to its surface but keep in mind that a maker is a permanent thing.”

“So carefully select the human continent and mark a safe place away from population, and to exit the astral world, you just need to think about leaving it.” Lady Margaret said.

“Varon, I want to ask if the astral projection skill shows a perfect replication of the real world,” Alex asked Varon, knowing he would know more about it as a Guardian.

Alex asked the question that was in his mind from the moment he realized he could zoom in and out of any place he wanted.

“The astral projection only shows the natural state of the world without any artificial structure, but it will change as your Ruler’s authority increases,” Varon replied.

‘The astral projection is a really broken skill.’ Alex thought with a smile.

Alex drank the potion and asked a few more questions about the unknown continents he saw in the astral projection, but he was told to search for answers in the palace library.

——————

After an hour, he was back in the astral projection world, and without wasting any time, he teleported to the side of the world with the human continent, and within one minute, he was done marking it as his teleportation destination.

After exiting the astral world, Alex received the Continental teleportation skill, and now, he was checking the system information of both newly gained skills.

♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦

Name: Astral World Projection

Quality: Mythical Unique

Rank: Mortal Rank [Growth Type]

Cooldown: None

Description: The skill allows the player to see a perfect replica of the world in its natural state in astral form.

⁌━━━━━━⁍

Name: Continental Teleportation

Quality: Mythical Unique

Rank: Mortal Rank [Growth Type]

Marked Continent: (2/2) [Malefis Domain] [Human Continent]

Cooldown: 12 hours

Description: The skill lets the player teleport to the designated continents with up to a maximum of two companions.

♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦

‘I can teleport with two companions with me, and I could do it after every twelve hours without any restrictions.’ Alex thought with a smile, happy with both skills.

Alex needed zero mana to use the continental teleportation skill, and even with the extra companions, it cost him nothing.

“Domain Ruler, Enjoy your journey,” Varon said as Alex prepared to use the continental teleportation skill.

Alex closed his eyes while holding hands with Lady Margaret and Darrien and then used the continental teleportation skill, and as the only set destination was on the human continent, it was automatically selected.

In the next few seconds, a dark purple rune started to appear, making a large magic circle with Alex in the center.

After the magic circle was complete, which took less than five seconds from start to finish, it shone brightly, and the next thing Alex saw was pitch darkness which disappeared after two seconds, and the scenery was also completely changed.
