Chapter 50: An unknown item with an unknown potential

As soon as Kayn and Natas got inside the small and crump room, they immediately looked for a spot to sit so that they can begin with their important discussion.

There wasn't that much space anyways, so they just make do with whatever space they can sit on.

"I have a suggestion!" Natas said as he looked at the two briefcases which he assumes to be full of credit, "How about we use the money you got from Mayor Sebastian to improve your living condition first before we start doing the real thing?"

"We are in the same thought on that one," Kayn didn't hesitate to agree with Natas. This kind of lifestyle might be the root that made him who he is today, but that doesn't necessarily mean that just because he returned back to the past, he has to stay the same length in this kind of living condition just like in the second life. He has already learned what could be learned, so there's no use staying any further than necessary.

"When are you planning to look for a place?" Excitement was apparent on Natas' face.

"I looked at our group chat while we were on our way here, and our adviser just announced that we don't have any class today and tomorrow,"

"Tomorrow it is!"

"Anyways," Kayn changed the topic. He took out the Entry Crystal from his pocket and put it on top of the table. For a brief moment, the table made some muffled noises that indicate how old and worn out its body is. "Let's talk about this item,"

Since they are done with that short interruption, it's now time for them to talk about the important matter on their hand right this moment.

"I am assuming that you already have something in mind?" Natas could already guess what was inside Kayn's mind.

"Is it an item?" Kayn expressed his thoughts.

"At first, you can say that it is an item, but if you give it some time, it will become something else,"

"Something else? In what way?"

"Honestly, even I am not that sure myself,"

"WHAT?!" Kayn can't help himself from exclaiming in shock. He went through all of that trouble, and even had to deal with Mayor Sebastian afterward, albeit that once was his fault — nevertheless, in the end, even Natas himself isn't sure exactly about what the item they are going to get in 'The Bridge' could bring to them?

He nearly fricking died from a monster!

He lost the opportunity to earn even more credit!

And most importantly, he is wasting his time!

"Are you being serious with me right now?!"

"I am afraid to say, but yes! However, don't be mistaken and think that everything you went through yesterday is a waste," Natas clarified. "That item I am talking about is special. It is the only item you could ever find inside the 'Tower' no matter how hard you look on every floor,"

Hearing that, Kayn set aside his current thoughts and decided to listen closely to what Natas is about to say.

"The reason why there is only one item in existence throughout the entire 'Tower' is because that item was purely created by the 'Tower' in case we, Gods, betrayed it,"

"I am not sure what exactly it is, but I assume that it can defeat us, Gods, even if we all work together. Meaning to say, that item is even more powerful than us, or perhaps has the potential,"

"Moreover, as long as that item is in our hands, the 'Tower' will not be able to easily eliminate my brother and sisters, which could bring us a lot of benefits in the future. And think about it, since it can eliminate us Gods, let alone you!"

Kayn felt intrigued at what that item exactly is.

"Although I haven't seen the capability of this item with my very own eyes as this is the first time we have enacted our betrayal to the 'Tower', I know where it is being hidden by the 'Tower', and it is on 'The Bridge', at least at this point in time, because right now my other self still hasn't stumbled upon this information, thus the 'Tower' didn't hide it somewhere else yet,"

"That's why I was in a rush, because if we continue dilly-dallying around, then we will lose a potentially great item,"

"How long do we have?" Kayn asked solemnly.

"If my memory serves me correctly, I guess two to three weeks from now,"

"That's not a lot of time," This mission is definitely going to be difficult.

"Now you understand,"

"After I take care of the important matters on Earth, let's immediately depart to 'The Bridge',"

"How long would that be?"

"Three to four days from now,"

"Is that the shortest time it would take you to finish everything?"

"Yes,"

"So, this leaves us with only a week or two to find that item and secure it," Natas fell into deep thoughts.

"Actually, the reason why it would take me that long is mainly because of the job that Rys' offered me,"

Previously, Rys offered him a porter job in one of the teams from his father's guild. That job might sound insignificant and nothing compared to their matter right now, but it is actually really crucial for the current him. And even if he knew beforehand about the item that Natas is talking about, he would still accept Rys' offer without any hesitation. That's because the best way for him to adapt to his current state and come to an acceptance of it is through entering a dungeon.

Furthermore, in order to plan out how he would develop his capability from here on out, he has to first see what his body is capable of executing. This might be his body, but he can't remember clearly well the extent of his strength and capability as many years have already passed since he last experienced such a weak state.

By entering a dungeon, it would give him plenty of opportunities to test his limits, and possibly even break through and improve to some degree. Also, this could honestly serve a positive effect on him before entering 'The Bridge'.

"If that was scheduled much earlier, then I can naturally adjust the time as well. But since I can't then, I don't have any choice but to wait until then,"

"I understand," Natas isn't stupid to not know why Kayn still chooses to go and work as a Porter despite how important their matter is. Honestly, even he would do the same if he is in the shoes of Kayn. After all, this is still the third day after Kayn reincarnated back to the past. If someone tells him that they have fully adapted to the current events already, he won't believe them no matter what proof they show to him.

Throughout the millennia he has stayed inside the 'Tower', he has witnessed in almost everyone who has undergone reincarnation that it took them a lot of trouble and many days or even weeks and months just so they can adapt to their current body and life.

As a matter of fact, some of the people that the 'Tower' had chosen in the past nearly gave up and choose to commit suicide as they had great difficulties trying to adapt. If it wasn't for the 'Tower' intervening during those times, then it would probably have no choice but to redo and find another candidate.

In what he has observed on Kayn so far, the latter is performing excellently well. He even believes that Kayn already accepted the fact that he returned back to the past, except that he still hasn't gotten used to the state of his body as he was extremely strong in the future, and seemingly in a blink of an eye all of that disappeared and he's now stuck in an extremely weak and fragile body. Regardless, he is still showing signs that he is not rejecting it, but instead is trying to understand his state so that he knows what to do in the future.

In other words, Kayn is overly excelling at his past counterparts and is superior in the way they handle this kind of similar situation.

"I don't know what else we can do today other than study, take a rest, and do some random stuff. So, how about we just go out for a walk, see the places around us, and afterward let's call it a day?" Kayn suggested.

"I agree!" Natas didn't hesitate to agree. After all, it's too boring to stay in this crump and small place.

With that decision in mind, Kayn stood up and quickly opened the first black briefcase. He is honestly broke right now. Fortunately, Mayor Sebastian gave him something to solve his problem.

Inside the briefcase was a small rectangular gadget that is showing a red digital interface with the digits 50,000 credit showing.

This gadget is called a Portable Safe. It got its name because of the fact that it literally functions like a safe, and since it can be carried anywhere, thus the word 'Portable' was added.

As this is the era where digital currency is the newly adapted monetary system around the world. Hence in most cases, what's inside a briefcase that a bunch of paper notes used to be put inside in the past, is just a simple Portable Safe with the amount of credit stored inside.

Knowing what to do with the Portable Safe, Kayn took out his phone from his pocket and opened his bank account. He opened a certain feature of the bank and after that, he hovered his phone on top of the Portable Safe.

In the next moment, the screen on his phone switched into a digital lock with the number zero to nine.

Since he doesn't know what the password is yet, he started looking around inside the briefcase. As expected, a piece of paper was inside with four different numbers written which is clearly the password of the Portable Safe.

Quickly and with a tinge of excitement, Kayn inputted the four numbers and as soon as it was confirmed, the 50,000 from the Portable Safe was rapidly being transferred to his phone.

He watches the four-digit number on his bank account swiftly moving up until it reaches five digits.

Once that was all done, Kayn said, "Let's go!"
