Is this really a Game?!



Vajra stared at the giant black hole that had been cut in half by Raziel. Cutting a black hole was something that would rarely be seen as the result of such an action would bring forth a massive wave of power from the black hole.

The incredible gravitational pull that a black hole would have would collapse, and then it would all explode outward, giving birth to an invisible wave of power that would damage and destroy everything that stood in its path.

This, however, did not happen here.

The black hole was cut in half, and it simply paused itself, it looked like two pieces that were frozen in time that were simply standing and not doing anything. The gravitational pull was gone, any movement from the black hole had stopped, and it was simply standing in front of the two, while a dot of white light could be seen in the center, right where Raziel had cut it.

"Come, don't worry about it, you'll find out what is happening after we go in," Raziel told Vajra who nodded at him. Even though the situation at hand was something that made Vajra very confused and made him rethink some of the things he knew, he still trusted Raziel.

The two had known each other and were friends for millions of years now, and the trust between the two was firm. Whatever was happening, Vajra was certain that it wouldn't be detrimental to him, after all, with the speed and power Raziel had just shown him, he knew that he was not his match and could be killed easily by Raziel.

The two went forward and entered the light, which looked like a gate that stood in the center of the black hole. They disappeared inside before suddenly getting out in an instant.

Vajra was panting hard, his entire body enveloped in sweat. His eyes were opened wide in shock while his hands and legs were shaking.

"How … how long were we gone for?" Vajra asked Raziel who was standing beside him, calmly looking at him.

"An instant, we simply got inside and went outside the next moment, no time has passed outside," Raziel said as Vajra straightened himself up and stared at him.

"Impossible, we … I am certain that we spent thousands of years there, I can't be wrong, how is it possible that only an instant passed here, that … that was no illusion, there's no way-"

"Calm down old friend, your memory is hazy, you probably only remember 10% of it, if not even less," Raziel told Vajra who started breathing deeply in an attempt to calm himself. He was after all a Supreme, a being that had lived for millions of years, even though what he had just seen and learned overthrew everything he thought he knew about the universe, his mind was powerful enough to allow him to calm himself and slowly take it in.

"I have taken Quin here many years ago, and even though he has still to regain all the memories, he probably had about 85 – 90% of them, and that is after many years had passed, so you don't need to focus on the memories too much, they will naturally come back, especially after you manage to break through," Raziel told Vajra who nodded at him.

"How confident are you of breaking through the next realm now?" Raziel asked Vajra who smiled at him.

"Fully confident, 100%, there's no way I will fail, it would be too embarrassing to fail something like that now," Vajra stated as Raziel chuckled at him.

"But … old friend, that place, all those memories, what are they, how is that even possible?" Vajra asked Raziel who grabbed his shoulder before moving them away from the black hole.

"It's about to heal itself, we shouldn't stay too close," Raziel said as Vajra stared at the giant black hole that was starting to move and hide the gate of light. The two halves slowly reconnected and the black hole was whole again as if nothing had happened.

"The memories are my own, plus the memories of other people that had once been by my side, some of them also belonged to my enemies, I placed them here in order to be able to show them to people I trusted in the future, of course, this place has always been here, ever since the creation of the universe, hidden from others, never to be reached by any being, except that I found it, and used it to my own benefit," Raziel said as he looked at Vajra.

"How long?" Vajra suddenly asked him.

"Huh?"

"How long were you there, in that place?"

"Honestly?"

"I can't really remember how long, I stopped counting the years after some time."

"Now, let's go back, you have something to do, and I have something to look forward to." Raziel said as he smiled at Vajra who nodded at him before smiling back.

Back on Earth, Reign and the others had arrived back in the territory.

Even though the portal they had built was for the use of M'azgara and her brood, they could use it as well. The best part was that it was as expensive as the first portal they built and wouldn't rise in price thanks to the normal portals as they were separate from one another.

Reign and the others could also use them, and they could allow other groups to do so, but the number of people that could use them was limited.

Reign and the others had finally finished finding a good location for M'azgara and her army, so what was left was to go to the depths of the mountain range to level up some more.

M'azgara's five elite monsters would go with them in order to increase their strength and to level up as well, as would Aelrinder. M'azgara herself would not go, as the Brood Mother, she didn't need to personally kill enemies in order to gain exp as she would get a part of the exp her monsters would get.

The five elites would not be giving her any exp as they were special, but any monster the rest of her brood killed would bring her a bit of exp. Even though it was only a small portion of the exp one would usually get from killing a monster, thanks to how many monsters she could create and control, she would be able to level up without any difficulty.

The only thing left for everybody to do was to wait for Shadow, Laura, and Tank to come back and to level up. The depths of the mountain range were not a place that just anybody could go to thanks to how dangerous it was, so having a large number of Tier IV combatants was important in the case of them ever getting besieged by other monsters.

Aelrinder was unable to go with them previously as he was needed in the elven territory. Thanks to the barriers being lifted, the elves were slowly starting to get ready to welcome more of their own into this world.

The queen had sensed that thanks to their alliance with Reign and the others, they were slowly being accepted by the world, which would lead to the system allowing them to bring more people over.

Those were very good news for them all since this new territory would get connected to the main one, allowing them to do many more things compared to before.

Even though they were ashamed to admit this, ever since they allied themselves with Reign, they were slowly losing the dominance they had when it came to power. The players, who were once weaker than them on average, were now not only much higher in numbers but there were higher leveled players present compared to the elves as well.

Even the orcs, who had managed to build a portal relatively quickly thanks to Magokur who had immediately allied himself with Reign and the others, were starting to be more powerful than the elves.

The elves had no qualms about their allies being strong, but they didn't want to be deadweight and wanted to pull their own weight and be useful. After all, an alliance was only fair when each side was powerful in its own right.

With that being done, Aelrinder was available and could go with Reign and the others to level up, something he looked forward to. Most of the elves would be surprised to see their reliable and always calm commander fighting with such passion and zeal that he showed when he was together with Reign and the others.

Only a couple of elves knew his real nature and just how much he loved to fight against powerful enemies, and they knew better than to spread the news.

In the following two weeks, Reign and the others had managed to improve their levels and explored more of the depths, while Shadow and the others arrived one after another, with Tank being the last one to arrive at the end of the second week.
