UNDERLEVELED

Chapter 74

"The Magic Tower at Zolheim?" Presley asked.

Gemini nodded.

"Correct."

In the real world, the wars had left everything in shambles. And the very first way that people could connect with each other was through Arcadia.

Aside from gaming, Arcadia was also used for educational purposes. Most schools were established in the Neon Republic because violence was banned in that area. Everyone was locked out of their levels.

But sooner later, schools outside of Neon Republic also appeared.

On top of teaching basic real-life subjects, these schools also provided knowledge on how to improve yourself in the game.

And the most prestigious schools among them were called the Magic Towers.

The man who started these Towers was the Great Mage Haymitch, a former member of the Roxinnian 7.

Haymitch built different Magic Towers around the world of Arcadia as he travels with the sole purpose of creating players and NPC whom he hoped would maintain peace within Arcadia.

While they were scattered all over the world, there was one Magic Tower that started them all.

It was the ASHAKA, THE FIRST MAGIC TOWER.

And it was also the home for the Zodiac Mages and Goddess Irelia's main base of operations.

"So, are you just gonna return to that place since the war was over?" Presley asked.

Gemini replied,

"As if. This war is far from over as many questionable things were left unsolved."

The confused Brahmian asked,

"Wait, what? It's not over?"

Gemini started chuckling.

"Aha, I guess you guys are really amateurs. You already know many things, and yet you're not asking it."

"Umm, okay?"

Despite agitated, Presley pressed for more answers.

"Questions like?"

"Where is Vicente?"

Presley, Brahmian, and Kane looked at each other, but they don't know what to say. Since no one could answer, Gemini continued.

"Why aren't you asking about the sudden disappearance of the 80th Ranker? Even if he died at the Liwa'an Shrine, it should've respawned already. But why wasn't he here? It's not that hard to track us down since even your wife found us."

Presley, Brahmian, and Pazkal thought it made sense, but Kane commented on something else.

"Yeah. I was with him! We should've been together, but a little shit killed me."

Kane glared at Brahmian, forcing Brahmian to turn his head away.

BOG!

Gemini slammed her fist on the table.

"Hey. Can't you see the main point here? Vicente is missing. A damn Ranker that the whole world knew was suddenly missing!"

Presley asked her again,

"What are you trying to say?"

"It was a mystery that no one could answer. Where is he? And then there were other questionable things like that. How did Leonordius win the war? He didn't even know that his own Sparrowknights turned their back on him."
