"After my exploration of a few different worlds, I spent my ti in this life building up so achievents for myself and claid the position of the city lord as the fortune teller had instructed . She would give visions of what I should do to reach this stage but as of recently, she only gave a single letter before stopping all communications. And that letter was for to use the mythic skill stone in the event and my role shall be over." Alvan shook his head and showed them the letter.
Furrowing her brows, Shiro looked back at Alvan.
"Has she told you anything else about this coming age of demons and gods?" She asked.
"A little. You see, the visions I received are a little like cutscenes. I can watch what’s going on but I cannot interact with it. I don’t know what are the sources to the situation nor do I know how to avoid them. I was only told that I should just follow my path in life and deliver the stone. Of course, even if I didn’t, the stone would have found its way to the rightful owner in the end. Fate works in a strange way after all."
"Yeah I get that but I an, what did you SEE in the visions." Shiro rolled her eyes since she wanted to get as much information as she could.
"*Cough* Right, about that. In the vision, the things I saw were a little limited. But I know that there are places in the current world that would be rendered to a lifeless wasteland where undead roam freely. Humans were being used as slaves while the monster races reigned supre. There were a few safehouses for those that are weak but it would beco a fight or die situation everyday. Not only that, but each monster race will also be governed by queens that can apparently sense when their subjects are being killed. Levelling up will beco much harder for humans." Alvan shook his head.
"Hmm... Were you able to see which queens were the biggest problems?" Shiro asked as it was a good ti to take a headcount now. Not only that, when she made the contract with Nimue, her side of the bargain had it so that she would help Nimue get her revenge by killing so of the queens.
"Unfortunately no. There was a limit to how much I could see and the main point of visions were to convince of what was going to happen in the future should nothing be done."
"I see... That’s unfortunate. Have you been able to track down the fortune teller or did she completely cut off her connection with you?" Shiro asked.
"I wasn’t able to find her after the last letter." Alvan shook his head.
Leaning back on her chair, Shiro sighed.
"You seem like you know a little about this." Keiko asked Shiro curiously. During the tis that Alvan had talked about the coming age as well as other worlds, Shiro seed to understand what he was talking about as well as so details.
"Keiko, do you rember what had happened in Mount Fuji?" Shiro asked as she turned to her.
"You an the incident where the mountain was overrun by monsters? It was solved two months later but no one knew why." Keiko nodded.
"You see, I was there. It was also there that I t the queen of ice, Khionah. She was leading the snow woman and her goal in that place was for sothing called an Anchor. I don’t know what it is but I think it has sothing to do with her crossing from her world to ours. She did say that there were other queens coming. Before I left the place, she gave a warning about the age of demons and gods but she didn’t divulge more than needed." Shiro replied as Keiko furrowed her brows.
"Hmm... why didn’t she attack you? From so of the clips I’ve seen, she is probably more than capable of taking you out, no offence."
"I wonder about that as well. But all I know is that a new age is coming and humanity might be screwed if we don’t do anything." Shiro shrugged.
"True. I’ll probably go back to Tokyo and ask for a world eting of all the highest powers. Perhaps so of the hidden sects might even show up, who knows. Of course, that can wait after eting your party." Keiko smiled.
"Mn. Oh by the way, city lord, why did the woman want you to give away the skill stone? Did she leave any ssage for you in regards to that?"
"Well she did give a ssage but I shall keep it to myself. She did warn that the future may change if the reason was to be known."
Talking for a little while, both Shiro and Keiko left the room and started to walk towards where the party was gathered.
Looking back at the two, Alvan couldn’t help but think back to what the woman had told him. It was a rather cryptic ssage but that was only because he was only allowed to know the bare minimum. Maybe if he knew a little more, things might beco clear.
’Ruler of worlds, travelling through the layers of incarnation. First as a demon, second as a human and third as a deity... Could she be talking about reincarnation?’ Alvan wondered to himself before shaking his head.
Looking down at the city, he wondered if he should retire now and go out into the world. After all, he had already passed on the item that the fortune teller had given to him.

Making their way towards the café, Keiko couldn’t help but glance over Shiro.
"How co you seem so calm with the situation?" She asked curiously.
"Well there’s no point worrying mindlessly right now is there? The most I can do is to get stronger and level up as much as I can in the ti that we have so that I have a better chance of surviving the new age. After all, if I spent the ti that could be used to level up on worrying, I would only co to be annoyed at myself later." Shiro shrugged.
"Mn, indeed." Keiko nodded. Every second counted right now as she had already sent a ssage to her assistants to call for a world eting so that they could discuss the things they can do in order to prepare for the age of demons and gods. Hopefully, they can stop being greedy and increase the overall level of humanity so that they can actually stand a chance. But with how so of the world leaders act, Keiko didn’t have a positive outlook on the eting.
"Say, Keiko, what level are you right now? We don’t know when the new age is arriving so we should all class up and level up, including you." Shiro asked.
"? I’m currently level 405. It is still a while away from the peak of tier 5 but finding high level dungeons isn’t exactly easy. Plus, I’m sowhat stuck in Tokyo for the past few months due to so matters I needed to attend to so I couldn’t go to the front lines to farm for so EXP." Keiko replied.
"Hm... 405. To be fair, the best thing for us is to be tier 8 gods by the ti the new age arrives but that’s kind of a wishful thought. Tier 6 is a bare minimum and tier 7 is recomnded I think. For humanity to stand a chance, maybe all of the top fighters need to reach tier 6." Shiro muttered however she knew how hard it was for people to reach tier 6. Hell, even back in her old world, only she and the hero reached tier 6 out of the entire populace so one can imagine how hard it is to reach tier 6.
"Uncle, has been stuck at the peak of tier 5 for a while now so maybe he has a chance to reach tier 6? Sa with aunty. Speaking of them, when will you visit them? I’m sure they miss you dearly."
"We’ll see. I don’t have my mories and there are still a bunch of things I need to figure out." Shiro shook her head.
Until she can resolve the gun pointing at the back of her head known as Duan Han Yin, she wanted to avoid revealing her identity easily.
Looking down on her hands, she clenched them into a fist as she knew that she had to reach her peak and go beyond in order to survive.
Shaking her head, she continued to talk to Keiko while they walked towards the café at a rather leisurely pace.
