Chapter 107: Battling Boredom
Jason’s father was the one who started their shop all those years ago, and they had been running it together for almost ten years before he vanished. Mira wasn’t keeping the shop open just because she wanted to make money from it. She was keeping it open because it reminded her of Richard and what they had together. And in a small way, Mira was making sure Richard could return to the shop once he ca back. It was her own way of hoping she would still get her husband back even after so long.
Jason respected that decision and he decided that he would buy the building that the shop was located in. That way his mother wouldn’t have to worry about paying rent or bills anymore. It was the least he could do after everything she did for him.
’Ragnar, let go of Raya right now!’
Jason suddenly shouted internally as he watched the large dragon in his Alternate Dinsion crushing the Adamantine Ant Queen under its weight! The dragon was lying on the ant’s body and the ant was screeching in anger as it tried to bite the dragon’s tail!
Ragnar released a loud roar as it pressed its weight on Raya one last ti before finally moving off her and taking off into the sky! Raya screeched in anger once she was free and she was about to take off after Ragnar, but Jason told her to stop. They were going to cause problems for the other subordinates if they fought! Raya spoke to Jason in a loud voice! This dragon was always looking for her trouble! Whenever Jason wasn’t looking, it would co and try to fight Raya for no reason!
Jason sighed tiredly and told Raya to calm down before he turned his focus to Ragnar and told it to behave itself! The dragon roared loudly in apology as it landed on a large mountain a far distance away from Raya! It released a puff of smoke from its mouth as it lay down calmly and it asked Jason when next they would be able to have a fight! It was boring in the Alternate Dinsion and it wanted to fight again!
Jason promised Ragnar that he would fight against it soon, but if it continued looking for Raya’s trouble, then there would be no fights for it! Ragnar imdiately roared in acceptance as it turned around to lay belly up happily, but a loud screech echoed through the region and Jason watched as Raya bodyslamd Ragnar in the belly with a [Linear Charge] and made him fall off the mountain with a cry of pain!
Jason chuckled as Raya laughed at Ragnar’s fall, but Raya imdiately turned around in fear and began to run away as she heard Ragnar release a loud roar of excitent! Ragnar took off into the sky to chase after Raya and Jason just turned away as both of them chased each other through the sky! Those two were his strongest subordinates and Jason was glad that they got along so well, but he knew that they were getting bored not being able to do anything inside his Alternate Dinsions. And the truth was that he was also getting bored.
Even though Jason had just finished clearing the Orange Gate yesterday, he was already eager to go into another one! There was just sothing about fighting in a gate that brought an undeniable excitent out of him!
Jason turned to the system and asked it if there was any chance of him getting another Gate Key soon. Jason knew that he only got the previous key because he completed his first Gate, so he wondered how he could get another key.
The system answered quickly.
[The system has not detected any available dormant Gates in the user’s vicinity. The closest available dormant Gate is 5000 km [3000 miles] away from the user in a town called Greenville. The system will alert the user with a new mission once a suitable dormant Gate is available.]
Jason frowned at this ssage. It would be difficult to go all the way to Greenville for a single gate. Greenville wasn’t like New York which was close by. Before he gets there, he’d have to travel for at least two days. And by the ti he gets there, the dormant gate would have already opened into a real Gate.
"How long will it take before another dormant Gate is available around Riverdale?"
[Calculating...]
[Calculating...]

[Calculating...]
[Due to the density of mana in the user’s vicinity, the system has estimated it will take approximately [4] days for a suitable dinsional tear to evolve into a dormant Gate.]
Jason sighed at this information. That ant he wasn’t going to be able to dive into a Gate until next week. It wasn’t so bad since he had school and the upcoming assessnt to prepare for, but at this rate, he was sure his subordinates would get more restless.
"I’ll just focus on school and the assessnt for now. At least I’ll be able to talk to Fiona about the crystals in school."
Jason threw three more crystals into his mouth and chewed on them as he went into the shower to clean up quickly.

It didn’t take long for Jason to get out of the shower, and he walked out of the bathroom with a towel around his waist while using another one to clean his hair. As he walked, he spoke to the system.
"Is there anything in your database about Avaran and my father?"
Jason had been curious about his howorld ever since he found out that he wasn’t fully human, and since the system said it was the largest archive of information in the known Primordial Expanse, then it only made sense that it would know about his ho world.
The system responded easily.
[Avaran was a Rank IV world that served as the howorld to the Avarian race. They were known as a peaceful race, but they possessed an innate fighting talent that surpassed that of most Rank V worlds, leading them to be targets for many of the battle-hungry races in the worlds parallel to their own. The Avarians fought off these invaders and grew stronger from the consumption of their Magic crystals and their constant growth drew the attention of two Rank V worlds that were terrified of their rapid growth. These Rank V worlds attacked the Avarians and they almost succeeded in the eradication of the race. Your father, Richard Marc, was once known as Grigori Takis and he was the strongest mber of the Avaran race and their ruler. In the final monts of the battle, after most of his race had been eradicated, his most trusted supporters sacrificed themselves to allow his escape through a Dinsional Tear and preserve their race.]
Jason read through all this quickly and he scratched his chin curiously. So that was how his race ended up dying out. But what the hell did the system an by Rank IV and Rank V worlds? Jason had no idea there were ranks between worlds.
The system brought up another tab to respond.
[The world Ranking is a thod of grading the strength of the world based on an average of the inhabitants of that world. The weakest worlds that do not possess any Mana-wielding creatures and have no knowledge of the Primordial Expanse are known as Rank I worlds. And worlds that possess multiple Primordial Level beings are known as Rank V worlds.]
"Are there any ranks higher than five?"
