rlin had assigned 3 of the dozen captives to each of the four teams, while keeping Jack for himself. Bringing Jack to his room, rlin sat down on the floor cross-legged, and instructed Jack to do the sa.
"So, Jack. What do you think will happen if you leave my group?"
"Huh? I- I don't understand?"
"If you leave my group, what will happen to you?"
"Uhm"
"Speak honestly."
"I would run away, as far as I can, and kill as many zombies as I can, before going to so secluded area in the woods and wait this disaster out. The military will co and kill all zombies, and I will wait until then."
"Hmm. No a bad plan. But let tell you a few things. Just like how you have an ability, even I have an ability."
"Yeah. I assud as much. The speed and power you possess exceeds the human body's limits."
"That is not my ability."
"What! Then you are naturally that strong? That's not possible!"
"I will explain my strength when the ti is right. But for now, you should know that my ability allows to see the future."
"Huh! Wait what!!!!"
rlin had been pondering over this for so ti now. How would he explain to Alex and the rest that he knew the future? In the end he had decided to borrow and emphasis on the ability of a deceased survivor. His ability was future sight, and it would allow him to see multiple versions of the future, and could follow the traces to see about 3 seconds into the future. rlin decided to use this ability, exaggerate it a bit, and use it as his cover.
"Yes. The future. I just awakened today in the morning. It allowed to see the apocalypse happening, and make preparations through the day. That is why I am the leader. I knew everything in advance."
" What! Then why didn't you tell anyone? You could have saved countless!"
"No. What do you think would happen if I ran around screaming 'The Apocalypse is coming today! Run for your lives' in the streets.? And if I went to so authority, they too might consider to be insane, and if they don't throw into a ntal hospital at once, they would definitely co to find later on to know how I knew about it once it happened."
"This.." Jack was speechless at the reality of that statent. Everything that rlin said was 100% the truth.
Initially, when rlin got to know there was a fire-mage within the group, he imdiately wanted to add him to his group. Especially pre-awakened ones. During the tutorial, most skills are sealed, and the only ones who can use abilities are pre-awakened. And the best ones for area of damage spells with the least mana consumption are fire-mages.
However, when he learned of Jack's na, rlin had a change of plans. He would help out Jack as much as he could. In the future, Fire-ball Jack was one of the survivors till the Zero incident. His natural strategy was to cover his body in flas and fly into the enemy hordes like a fireball and a flurry of fire spells. He even earned the title of 'Fireball' from his fighting style. Jack was one of the people who helped rlin beco the strongest unspecialised elentalists in the human race.
rlin had pathetically low mana for an elentalists, because the conversion rate for stat points to mana is pathetically low once you evolve to Tier 1. This was because people would be able to gain mana while ditating. As long as they had enough ti, they could quickly gain mana. But one needed a ditation law set for that, and rlin had never co across one that was suitable for an unspecialised. Just as he was about to give up and specialise into one of the four elents and restart his path from Tier 1 back to his Tier 4 body, he was stopped by Jack. Jack, was the first to give rlin his own ditation law set.
However, being an unspecialised elentalists, rlin could not use that ditation law set since it was specialised towards fire-magic. And over the course of a year, he travelled the world along with Jack to find the greatest elentalists in the other elents. When one remains unspecialised like rlin, they are called elentalists, while specialised people are called mages, who were a lot more arrogant than normal people due to their fantasy titles they received from their fighting style. Jack was the only decent mage rin had ever seen
When seeking out the help of these mages, rlin had sacrificed a great deal of recourses from mana crystals to elental orbs, and even 2 artefacts to finally obtain the other 3 law sets. With this, rlin spent nearly 3 months to create a new ditation law set suitable for elentalists. And with this, he slowly rose in strength, until he beca the strongest elentalists.
And this was all possible because Jack's ditation law set had so missing parts. When rlin checked with another fire mage, although not as profound or powerful as Jack's it too had missing parts. When rlin checked the law set of a water mage, it too had missing parts, but those parts were different from the ones the fire law sets were missing. It was then that rlin had realised that the four elental law sets were part of a puzzle. Experinting with this, rlin had taken 10 days to fuse a weak fire law set with a weak earth law set. This created a lava mage law set! But when he tried to do the sa with Jack's law set, it always failed. Then he realised that the strength of the elental law sets must be equal or close to equal in order to fuse. Therefore Jack and rlin set out on their 1 year long journey around the world.
