Level Up Legacy

Chapter 1391 A New Journey

Koby missed his old world. It was a lot simpler than this one. In his world, people were united by their desire to survive the monsters' invasion and calamities. Here, in this new world of his, people were divided over the smallest things.

"Who are you?" asked a man sharpening his dagger as soon as Koby walked into the room. "This is no place for weaklings with glasses and twigs for arms."

"I'm here for the exploration team," Koby replied while adjusting his glasses. As he looked around the room, he found that there were eleven people present. "I was sent here by Arthur Netherborne."

The moment that name came out, the people inside turned their heads with surprise. No one knew Koby well enough to associate him with the most dangerous and reliable man on the planet. He indeed looked weak, given that he had only one arm and wore round glasses.

"You are from Ascent?" asked the same man with a whistle. "Has the King of Wrath lost his mind to send a—"

Boom!

Before the man could finish his sentence, he soared through the air and slammed into the walls. His body created a crater in the wall as an unknown force tried to flatten him into a painting. At the same time, Koby walked toward him.

"You can insult me as much as you want, but never insult our lord," said Koby as his eyes brimmed with killing intent. "Keep him out of your filthy mouth. Do you understand?"

The man groaned in acknowledgment, and Koby allowed him to fall to the ground. He began coughing and cursing, but Koby no longer paid him any mind as he walked to find a seat around the table.

"What?" The man from earlier jumped from his chair. "You're telling me this... gentleman... is the sorcerer who stopped the demi-humans alone in the Battle of Firelands?"

"An honor to meet you as well," Koby said with a smile. "I didn't see you in the battle from before. Let's hope that you are as capable as you are arrogant."

The man let out a weak laugh and sat down in his chair, his face twisting in regret. If he had known Koby's true identity, he wouldn't have opened his mouth at all.

Each core member of the guild Ascent was a monster on their own. They were powerful enough to stop armies in their tracks or end wars. Koby was not even the strongest among them, but he was capable enough to earn himself quite the infamy.

In one of the battles between demi-humans and the Yalveran Union, Koby participated at the last second to end things. He fought single-handedly against the demi-humans and used his vast arsenal of spells to destroy their momentum. In the end, the demi-humans retreated.

"I have distributed each member's tasks across the table. Please take a look to understand your roles here," Gideon said as he looked at the twelve. "Our job is not to eradicate threats but to recognize them. Do not act as heroes or throw away your lives. We have thirty-nine nations aiding us."

"Before we begin any further discussions, I have a message from Arthur Netherborne himself," Koby said as he took out a scroll. No one dared interrupt. "Please give me a minute of your time."

Koby unfurled a scroll, and Arthur's voice reverberated throughout the room. His deep voice and authoritative tone made the listeners perk up despite the speaker being half their age.

"Greetings, brave heroes of our world," he began. "My name is Arthur Netherborne, and I am best known as the Guildmaster of Ascent and the Ruler of Runera. Before you embark on this journey, I have two pieces of advice and one gift for each of you."
