Chapter 118: Chapter 118: A disgusting counsel

Kai found himself sitting on a bench when he came to himself.

He was wearing a long black overcoat over black pants and black shoes. There was a bowler hat on his head, and in his hands was a newspaper. He looked up and saw the mist receding as the sun rose, hidden behind the buildings which were bustling with grump-faced workers.

“Good Morning.”

Kai adjusted his head and found an almost similarly dressed bearded man nodding at him, holding the tip of his hat as he passed by. A sense of wild exuberance danced on his face as if Kai and he were long-lost friends, and he would do anything if Kai just asked him.

“Good Morning to you too.” Kai nodded back, smiling. Well, the Charisma is working as it’s intended, I guess.

As per his routine, Kai checked the armor, which was hidden well under his plain white shirt. He wasn’t feeling any discomfort because of it, though. As if it didn’t have any weight. Yet, Kai couldn’t dismiss its existence, seeing the drop of 1 point in his Agility. Then he checked his Inventory. When he realized he could access everything there, only then did he bring his eyes to the newspaper.

He hadn’t checked it before for the date and place because… it was blank. Kai wasn’t sure if the passersby could see this oddity or not. He certainly could. When the morning breeze brought with it a lingering scent of soot and mud, the words appeared on the vast white blankness.

November 3, 1981

London

The one who-must-not-be-named has fallen. The wizarding world has been in an uproar for the last 2 days. Wizards, witches, and creatures alike are celebrating, forgetting themselves, and bringing unwanted attention from the muggles.

The ministry has begun the hunt for escaped Death Eaters at their full capacity. Hidden wizards are coming out daily, bringing with them the dark tales of the cruelty of these darker wizards. But most of them are looking forward to resurrecting their ordinary lives, as it was before the time of the Dark Lord.

Chaos welcomes you to the Magical World of Harry Potter again, but in a new time, and a new light.

]

And you want me to turn this light into dark, don’t you? Kai asked. But he couldn’t dwell on the thought for long, as another notification was appearing below it.

You have triggered a Side Mission.

Main Mission: Three heads of the Targaryen Dragon

Side Mission: Snaglok’s delusion

Side Mission Summary: Snaglok, a goblin, works at the Gringotts Wizarding Bank as a Bank Clerk. Like his brethren, Snaglok is greedy of nature and distrusts wizards. He cherishes his ordinary life, but the hubbub in the wizarding world has created an opportunity that he can scarcely ignore.

The goblin needs skilled thieves, preferably out of the wizard circle. You are to meet him at Room No. 209, Leaky Cauldron, a popular wizarding pub and inn in London after three days at 03:00 pm.

Side Mission Objective: Get chosen by Snaglok for his plan

Side Mission Time Limit: Not Applicable

Side Mission Hint: Empty-handed?

Do you accept the side-mission?

]

This again, Kai reflected, accepting the mission with a hard face. Don’t tell me I will have to wait for three days before the triggering of the Main Mission. Tch!

Kai was eager for the Main Mission. Yes. But his eagerness for the Initiation of the Battle Sequence was more than that. He couldn’t afford to waste a single day, let alone an entire three days.

I must use these three days to my advantage, Kai thought. I also need to locate Order’s Contestants. As Kai contemplated these things, he knew what he needed, or it would have been better to say whom he needed.

Kai direly needed counsel. So he called out his counselor.

He took out the Book, opening it to the tale, The Herald of Chaos. “Primordial Theater!”

The colors of the rainbow flashed, and a white glob left the book. Petyr walked out of the smoky veil, wearing almost the same clothing as Kai. The people were in such rush they hardly noticed another man walking out of thin air and sitting at Kai’s side on the bench.

Petyr looked down at himself, nodding at his strange attire, and then his eyes wandered at the many motor vehicles, people with briefcases, and tall, bright buildings. “How extraordinary!” the character exclaimed aloud. Kai noticed the excitement in his tone, but he was in no mood to call out these little things.

“Look at this,” Kai said, handing over the newspaper to Petyr. “Can you see the words written over it?”

Petyr took the newspaper and his eyebrows rose as he read the contents within. “I can,” he said, a hint of a smile appearing on his face. “What is the mission?” Kai filled Petyr in on the mission Chaos had given him after Petyr’s disappearance. He also told him about the answer to the second question they had asked and the Kill Count he now must complete within this mission.

Unexpected to Kai, Petyr guffawed, hearing the last piece of information.

“What is it?” Kai asked. “What have you inferred from it that makes you laugh so?”

Kai considered himself a cunning man. But he would be a fool to not accept that compared to the character Petyr, he lacked wit in this game of cunningness. The simple truth would have wounded his pride, scarring him for life. Only if he had some pride left.

Kai was shameless, through and through.

And if he could distort the Book’s Skill Primordial Theater to converse with the character, why wouldn’t he?

“This is the most wonderful thing that has happened to you, master,” Petyr whispered slyly. “What happens to the Contestants when you kill them in the Primordial Tower?”

Kai narrowed his eyes, hearing the question. It took him a few seconds to realize what the question meant. Then his eyes bulged up like a frog, an unprecedented smile appearing on his face.

“Haha!” Kai laughed. “Oh, how could have I missed that? Yes. This is nothing but a fantastic opportunity if I can find them all.”

Petyr nodded. “Loots,” he uttered the word like chanting a spell. “Loots from a hundred Contestants. But it isn’t the time for thinking about it before the Main Mission.”

Kai agreed. He looked at the side-mission and discussed what was going on in his mind. “Three days,” Kai mentioned. “I must get my Elementary Magical Aptitude within that time. Who knows if I will get the opportunity after that or not?”

Petyr chuckled, his finger pointing at a line on the Mission Summary, mentioning Snaglok’s greedy nature and his distrust for wizards. “I think you can get more out of this mission than a simple dragon egg, my lord,” he said, his finger moving from that line to the Mission Hint.

“More, you say,” Kai muttered, still thinking of the two things Petyr had pointed at. “How?” He asked, but by then he already knew what he must do. It was just that Kai felt disgusted at the idea he had concluded.

Petyr, though, was blunter with his words.

“Give up,” Petyr suggested. “Give up on getting the Ability for now.”
