Strongest Necromancer System

[The Third Entry Cont’d]

I do not want to tell you where I am since I don’t want to burden you with that knowledge. There are forces out here that are hunting me relentlessly, and if they realise that you know about my location, then I fear your life will be in danger. But I am working hard to return as quickly as possible, so you do not need to worry about me. Anyway, let’s forget all about that for now and focus on the message instead.

This is around the time when you should start gaining more knowledge about just how large the world truly is. The small planet that you call Earth is nothing when compared to the immeasurable number of worlds that exist in the Primordial Expanse, and Earth is nowhere near the strongest of these worlds. That is why you need to know about the Council of Nine and One. This council is in charge of overseeing most of the worlds in and around your Primordial Domain, and even though you might already be stronger than ever before, you are still nowhere near the strength of the council.

Earth is overseen by a man named Rubik. He is the king of the Machina Race, a race of fighters on a Rank III world who rely on mechanized robots for battle, and with the way things are now, his army is strong enough to wipe out every living thing on Earth without any effort at all. You need to be careful when dealing with this council. As Earth grows stronger, the Council will eventually try to contact you in order to make sure you stay in line and obey their rules. The rules are reasonable, and you have no reason not to accept their offer for peace, but that does not mean you should blindly trust every member of the council. They are creatures of greed that will do anything to increase the power that they possess, so you must be careful around them.

When you are eventually called to meet with the council, look out for a man named Farlow. He is the ruler of the Elven Race living in the world known as Arandell. This man is the only member of the council that I can vouch for with complete confidence. He is a good man, and if you ever need an ally to aid you from within the council, then he is the one you are looking for. He might prove difficult at first since he has a stick up his ass, but just remind him of the drinking game he lost against the king of Avaran five hundred years ago, and he’ll know who you are.

I hope you stay safe out there, my son, and I pray you continue to grow in strength and wisdom to protect your mother and sisters. I’ll be watching over you from wherever my battles take me.

Jason felt a strange, melancholic feeling rise in his heart when he read through his father’s message. This message wasn’t playful or witty like the other messages that Jason had read. Instead, Jason could tell that his father was finally starting to feel the weight of being away from his family for so long. From what Jason read, Richard wrote this message about three years after he vanished from Earth, and Jason couldn’t help but wonder what sort of creatures his father had to be fighting against if he was still out there even now.

Jason ran a hand over his face as he released a calm sigh. So his father was also concerned about the Council of Nine and One? Jason already suspected that he would run into the council again, but he didn’t think that they would try to reach out to him later.

’If dad says the council is reasonable, then I guess I don’t have to worry about it too much. I’ll keep my guard up around Rubik since he’s overseeing Earth, but I’ll at least listen to them and see what they have to say.’

Jason nodded along to his decision before his eyes trailed up to the beginning of the message, and he read it again. Jason could almost hear the tiredness in his father’s words, and Jason gained a small smile in pride. Jason was happy that his father was fighting so hard for them out there, and Jason swore that he would do his best to make sure the family was still together when his father returned.

Jason looked down at Gina, and he saw her smiling happily as she watched Riyala working. At this rate, Jason didn’t know if he would ever have another day without a major fight looming on the horizon. Ever since Jason met the phantoms, he had been going from one battle to another without any rest at all! But when Jason thought about what his father was doing, he decided that his fights weren’t that big of a deal after all. If it meant that he could protect his family, then Jason didn’t mind fighting like this for the rest of his life.

People all across the country were stuck to their TVs and phones as they watched the news concerning the emergence of the new Yellow Gate over New Jersey. On one of the news channels, a brunette with blue eyes and a breathtakingly beautiful face was giving a news report on the recent events.

[And in today’s news, reports coming in from New Jersey detail the emergence of a Yellow Gate over the central region of the city. Our contacts in the SMD have stated that most of New Jersey was already evacuated before the Gate emerged, but there were still some civilians who were unable to leave the city quickly enough. The major controversy surrounding the emergence of this Gate was the fact that there were hundreds of superhumans from guilds all over the country gathered in the city and waiting for the Gate. This has led to widespread speculation that the SMD somehow already knew about the Gate before it’s emergence. We have tried to acquire satellite imaging and videos from our team in the air, but there seems to be some sort of magic dome preventing any form of access into the city, and we can only speculate on what the SMD wishes to keep hidden from us that would push them to such lengths.]

[Most of the theories and rumors surrounding the Yellow Gate—as well as most other events occurring during this time—are currently centered around a single superhuman known as Jason Marc. Jason Marc is no stranger to controversy after he was spotted a few days ago traveling across Riverdale on the back of a giant dragon, and only yesterday, he was present during the raid that led to the arrest and indictment of the strongest supporter, Katarina Ford. After the SMD raid on the BloodRaven guild, our reporters tried to get an interview with Jason Marc, but we were unable to catch him before he left. We had a call with Jason Marc’s agent, Juliet Rapha after the raid, and she told us that we would soon be receiving a statement from Jason Marc’s guild in the near future. We do not have any certain leads regarding the Yellow Gate and the rumors surrounding Jason Marc, but you can be assured that our agents are working around the clock to bring you the news as soon as they are available. For TAC News, this is Tina Bolt signing off.]

The TV clicked off, and Mira’s sad face reflected off the screen as she released a sigh. Mira had been stuck in the house all day today because Jason told her not to go to work, and now that she had seen what was going on in the news, Mira finally understood why Jason had warned her to stay inside.
