Is this really a Game?!

Silence was present in the room as Reign stared at Eldar who sighed.

"You see, controlling those three abilities, having complete dominion over those fields, it's something no race has, even the control over light and darkness is something that rarely everyone has as they are two extremities, two powers that are the complete opposite of one another."

"It's like fire and water, but multiplied by a hundred."

"Coupled in with the control over the soul, and Nephilims have power over life itself, so far, over the course of millions and billions of years, there had never been a case of a Nephilim dying of old age, never."

"Now, whether that is because Nephilims are indeed immortal or because they simply have lifespans that are much longer than any other race, is unknown."

"They have complete dominion over life and death and I have heard tales of them bringing even the dead back to life, something that should be impossible for beings that are not at the very top of the universe, even then, it is a very rare occurrence."

"But one thing is certain, with you now awakening, the eyes of the entire Alliance will be on you, at least when it comes to the higher-ups, as for those below, Transcendents, Saints, even some low-ranked Gods, they will probably have no information on you at all."

"Not even gods, why?" Reign asked Eldar with a confused expression as he tried his best to take in all the information that the latter had given to him.

"Because you are a Nephilim, it's as simple as that."

"You belong to a race that is completely outside the scope of the Alliance or any other organization, one that seldom has communication with the others, except for the cases when they are traveling or providing their services as mercenaries."

"From my understanding, Nephilims are allowed to do whatever they want to do as long as it is not detrimental to the Immortal Army, but very few chose to leave and explore the universe as they have everything they need in the army's headquarters."

"But every time a group of Nephilims is spotted, then everyone knows that something is going on, as the army never moves without a good reason."

Reign continued listening to Eldar and his story of the Immortal Army. Eldar knew little, to be honest, and it was mostly just tales that were widely available to everyone. Anything containing more information about the army is kept a secret and there were few that knew such information.

As Eldar finished the story, he suddenly grew serious.

"Now, to talk about that 'copy' of yours."

Reign could immediately sense the shift in the atmosphere.

Previously, even though Eldar was serious, he was talking calmly and without any pressure, but now that pressure was clearly visible on his face.

"I happen to have met a Nephilim before, and he shared some things with me."

"He had already gone through his full awakening and was a Transcendent at that time, just like me."

"From what he told me, the sort of connection you have with the copy is completely different from his own." Eldar stared at Reign with a solemn look before continuing.

"As I said before, Nephilims have the power of light and darkness, dominion over life and death, but that is exactly the reason why there are so few of you."

"The power over light and darkness is something that should not be possible, and even though I have heard of tales of some other races having that, it's still only in rare instances where they obtain that, none of them are actually born with those two abilities."

"Each Nephilim has a copy like yours, but the relationship between them is volatile, the copy is the manifestation of the darkness inside of you, and it will at any turn try its best to stray you off your path and obtain full control over your body."

"Slightly more than 50% of Nephilims lose control and give in to the darkness inside of them, becoming nothing more than mindless beasts that live for the sole purpose of killing and destroying."

"In those cases, when a Nephilim loses control, it is almost impossible for them to return to their normal state, and a Nephilim that is a member of the Immortal Army will come and destroy them, eliminating any trace of the Nephilim having existed at all." A heavy atmosphere appeared in the office as Reign showed a heavy expression on his face upon hearing Eldar's words.

"But." Eldar suddenly said as he stared straight into Reign's eyes.

"The copy is usually not there to help the Nephilim, it doesn't give advice, it doesn't appear only to talk with you, it definitely does not tell you things about your race and such things."

"The relationship between your copy and you is something that I didn't know could even exist, but of course, I only know things that the Nephilim I met told me, I don't know what other Nephilims have gone through, and how their powers and copies manifested."

"So to actually hear that you and your copy have such a relationship is completely unknown to me, still, I do recommend you take care and not trust the copy too much, you never know, its intentions may be very well to fool you into believing it is your friend before taking over your body."

"Yeah, there were cases in the past when I had started seeing it the first couple of times when it definitely acted a bit differently, it was definitely more forceful and tried to make me do things back then, and then it suddenly changed."

"Mhhmm, that could very well be it, it saw that there was no chance it would gain anything from being forceful and decided to take the soft approach, slowly building up trust and coaxing you into giving in."

"Of course, I may be wrong and the copy could very well be there to help you, one can never know," Eldar said as he shrugged his shoulders before getting up.

"Well, that would be all I know about the Nephilims, there is a chance that Drayce knows more, but I'm not sure if he will be open to telling you more, still, it wouldn't hurt to try," Eldar told Reign who nodded his head before getting up and shaking Eldar's hand, thanking him for telling him everything he knew.

As Reign left the office, Eldar and Jack were left sitting on the sofas before Jack suddenly had a weird expression on his face.

He got up and opened a window, letting a flying sword into the office.

"A messenger sword?" Eldar asked Jack who nodded to him before staring at the sword.

"It's from my senior brother, if he is sending a message, then something important must have happened." Jack grabbed the sword before closing his eyes and letting the sword scatter into dots of light and enter his body.

As the light entered his body, Jack suddenly sighed before a wide smile appeared on his face.

"Master has finally entered the realm of Saints."

"Really, congratulations, for him to finally do it, it was about time." Eldar smiled brightly as Jack nodded to him.

His master was one of the oldest Transcendets alive, and one of the most powerful ones to have ever existed.

His greatest feats were things that shock the universe as he had already slain multiple Saints that had come after him in the past. They were old enemies that had managed to reach Sainthood and believed they were powerful enough to kill their old enemy, only to be slain by Jack's master.

He was an addict when it came to swords and although he was qualified enough to reach the realm of a Saint centuries ago, he had decided to stay in the realm of a Transcendent before reaching the very peak of swordplay possible in that realm.

He had done the same before reaching the realm of a Transcendent and had almost died of old age as he stayed a Tier X being for a long time before finally being satisfied with what he knew.

He was one of the few that had managed to do the same as Eisenhorn and reached Rank Z in his swordplay, but contrary to Eisenhorn, Jack's master had managed to do so with every single type of sword before Transcending, a feat that left many in the universe speechless.

That led to him being stuck in the same realm for much longer than others, but what he was given thanks to that was unparalleled strength that none could match in the same realm.

Even though he had only now reached the realm of a Saint, he could already be considered to be a powerful Saint that could fight against Saints that were above his rank.

His reaching Sainthood was news that would soon be spread throughout the entire universe.

As for Reign, he was now standing in front of the Buddhist temple.
