Reborn as an Extra

109 Rio Flash and God's Grace... Part-3.

In a Vast Unknown place.

'Hmm, what is this place?' (Rio)

Rio tried to look around him but the dense fog blocked his view. Beneath his feet was a pure white floor shining brightly. The atmosphere of this place seemed solemn, majestic, and ancient. 

Rio had a feeling in his heart that this place, perhaps didn't exist in the material world at all.

'Am I inside someone's 'Plane of consciousness, Right now?' (Rio)

Rio was sure that this wasn't his plane of consciousness because his plane of consciousness was pitch black and looked like a vast void between galaxies and stars. (He visits his plane of consciousness every night in his dreams so he is sure about its looks as mentioned in a previous chapter.)

Just when Rio was in confusion a figure of a man in luxurious clothes appeared in front of him. The person seemed illusionary, his form was unstable and his face was radiating bright white light.

Rio couldn't properly see his face, it was as if the person's face was purposely being hidden by a mysterious force. Rio also noticed that the figure was wearing a golden Crown on his head and his dress looked similar to the dresses that Kings in the feudal era used to wear in Rio's previous world.

'Is he a king of some empire or something like that?' (Rio)

As Rio looked at the man with great focus, he saw the man open his mouth.

"Oh, It seems you have been acknowledged by my sword… that must mean you have extraordinary talent…. Good, good…" (???)

The man's voice sounded ethereal, calm, and tired as if the speaker had gone through many years of hardships and constant struggles. Which made his voice reassuring and calming to the listener.

"A piece of advice though, it's a rebellious weapon, be sure to keep your emotions in check all the time… otherwise you will end up like this…" (???)

As the man said that, he pointed his finger towards the ground.

All of a sudden, everything around them changed. The white and pure floor was gone, now replaced with charred black soil, and several volcanoes appeared everywhere around Rio.

Rio even saw Lava Rivers flowing around. 

Then Rio looked at what the man had pointed his fingers to.

Rio noticed several purple and red colored phantoms crawling around on the floor. The phantoms looked grotesque and ugly many of them were wailing in pain and shrieking like dying beasts. Their distorted voice contained immense hatred and killing intent.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"Destroy! Destroy! Destroy!"

Those phantoms seemed to have gone under corruption and have now only two purposes left in their corroded will, which were kill and destroy.

"But try your best, as long as you can keep yourself calm, you will be fine… just don't bring shame to the great name of the empire…" (???)

Without Rio noticing, the person appeared behind Rio, he put his brightly glowing hand on Rio's back and gave him a light push.

"Walk the path of your choice, don't leave any regrets behind… now go!" (???)

"Wait-" (Rio)

Rio wanted to ask the man, who he was, but Rio's view blurred rapidly and before Rio could say anything, he was thrown out of that 'Plane of Consciousness'.

Military Infirmary, Near General's residence.

Rio abruptly opened his eyes. A white ceiling appeared in his vision, he sat up and found himself on an infirmary bed. 

He was confused for a few moments before he remembered everything that happened in the last battle and how his sword turned into liquid and he ended up getting hit by Liam's lousy and slow attack that could have been easily avoided by him, if not for that sudden situation. (He thinks of that small-scale nuclear attack as a lousy attack, come on Rio, have some respect for the poor guy Liam…)

"Ah, you are up! Wait I will bring someone to do a quick check-up on you!" (Apprentice healer)

Just when Rio was about to get up, an apprentice healer came by, so Rio had to wait and have his health checked before he could leave the infirmary.

'Hmm, it seems they have good infrastructure here…' (Rio)

Rio was quite surprised to find that every injured person got a separate room to recover. The infirmary in the academy has a huge hall and all the patients are admitted to that hall, Curtains are used as walls dividing the beds, but this place has proper infrastructure.

'It seems they provide better health services to the military personnel…' (Rio)

After a while of waiting, an A-rank healer entered the room and did a quick health checkup on Rio using his mana and skills. 

Later, the healer left with a bewildered look on his face, he was surprised by how fast Rio had recovered. (Not even Link the Ultimate Meat Tank has recovered to full health yet. Rio only slept for a day and he recovered to full health with a little bit of healing by the A-rank healer.)

'My concentration skill must have focused the healer's magic further making it more efficient… I am more bewildered at the fact that the skill didn't deactivate, even when I was unconscious… that's new…' (Rio)

Generally, all skills of the user deactivate after the person becomes unconscious but if you master the skill properly and become extremely proficient in it, then your body can keep that skill activated on its own, without you even wasting efforts. (It's similar to muscle memory…)

Rio shook his head and got up from the bed. He left the infirmary and went on the rooftop to get some fresh air and feel the breeze to sort out the things in his mind.

Rooftop, Military infirmary, Near the General's Residence.

Rio stood near the guard rail and looked at the setting sun on the horizon.

'It would have been perfect if I had tea to enjoy at this moment…' (Rio)

Rio sighed and shook his head.

'Let's see…' (Rio)

Rio summoned his sword out and glanced at it.

Unlike usual the description of the weapon has now changed vastly.

King Allen put this weapon on his throne for future generations to take it, when he ?????.... ?????. 

Then, a hundred years later, It was obtained by demon general Azazel, when he exterminated the Reinhart royal family after the disappearance of King Allen and Azazelput this weapon in the treasury of the demon king's castle. 

Later, A sneaky thief stole it from the treasury under the nose of the demon king. Eventually, this weapon reached the hands of an anomaly, who awakened it from its long sleep and made it recognize a new master after it wandered around in the world for two thousand years.

Millions of souls, which were mercilessly slaughtered by this sword, howl and curse this weapon with their endless hatred, be sure to not get corroded by the abysmal filth surrounding this weapon.]

[Item side-effect: Can cause a person with weak will and unstable emotions to go rogue and corrode, turning them into mindless beasts.]

Looking at that long description Rio felt his head throbbing in pain, he had never seen a weapon as domineering and majestic as this one. 

He never expected that this weird formless weapon, which he got from the inheritance his father left for him, would turn out to be an 'SS-rank' weapon. 

Moreover, it even has such a long history behind it, this made Rio dumbfounded, his eyes widened in shock, and only after a full minute did he calm down his mind.

'Now I understand why this sword trembled when I showed even a little bit of killing intent, it is a cursed weapon that rejoices at its user's hatred and other negative options…' (Rio)

'It even lost its form just to get its master injured…. Long story short, it can only be used when your emotions are calm and have no lingering killing intent or any other negative emotions in them….' (Rio)

'The biggest problem is that it is already bound to my soul and I can't even throw it away… how troublesome…' (Rio)

Rio sighed at this great misfortune, he never wanted to get a cursed weapon attached to himself. 

What Rio didn't know was that this weapon is the most suitable for him, because he has a very small amount of emotional fluctuation left in him. If not for some rare occasions he is as emotionless as a stone.

'Moreover, this weapon refers to my father as a 'Sneaky Theif', how embarrassing… sigh~' (Rio)

The more Rio looked at the weapon the more he sighed at his bad luck, if someone saw him behaving like this they would end up laughing. Rio looked like a dejected lover, who was rejected by his crush at the very first mention of a confession.

Author's Notes.

Question of the day.

What do you think, why did that sneaky thief dare to steal a weapon for the treasury of the demon castle?

(In my opinion, the demon king was too busy playing with his concubines and never even noticed that one thief doing his work.)

(Wait does that mean Rio has inherited his stealing skills from his father!?)

By the way, recently I found out that people have been pirating my novel. I request everyone that whoever is reading this novel please read it from Webnovel only, otherwise, your support will not reach this poor author.
