My World Traveling System: The Harbinger Of Death Chapter 46
Advertisement
After Frank was given a bit more of the common knowledge of the Underworld by Matsuo, he was finally allowed to learn the Skill he was waiting for.
"You've been a good boy listening to me, so have this," said Matsuo as if Frank was his little brother, giving him the Book that taught him how to create Magic Domains.
"Hey, I am not your little brother… But thanks man," said Frank, grabbing in the book as a system notification popped up.
Ding!
[A Skill Book has been detected]
[Do you wish to learn the [Instant Domain Creation: Level 1] Skill?]
[>YES NO]
Frank instinctively selected the 'Yes' option immediately after the System message popped up in front of his sight, as the book itself quickly began to fragment into bright, white, and yellow particles of light, impregnating his entire body as his very mind was given a stream of knowledge and even a bit of experience over the usage of the Skill he was about to learn.
Ding!
[You have acquired the [Instant Domain Creation: Level 1] Skill!]
"I got it… and the specifications of how to make it are… overly simplistic… I really thought there would be some need to do something else, but aside from willing it and forming the Mana around, it is as if the world automatically will do the rest for you, isn't it?" asked Frank, as he grasped the ability to create Domains in an instant.
"You really did learn it in a flash! Amazing, Frank, I would not recommend you use it at home, but perhaps in your backyard if you're really into wanting to grind more to 'level up'… Though do not overdo it, sleeping is very important," said Matsuo.
"Sure, thanks a lot, Matsuo, see you tomorrow," said Frank, getting up from the floor as he hugged Matsuo.
"Oi, hugs now? Calm down," laughed Matsuo, as a Japanese, he was not very used to the warmer types of affection showcases that western cultures had, such as hugs.
"Don't sweat it, it's just a hug," said Frank, as he walked out of the room while Matsuo released a sigh.
"Alright, don't spend all the night grinding though… Ah, I guess he didn't hear me… I bet he will, he seems like the type of person that would do something like that… I wonder what kind of new powers will come out tomorrow? Ah, I gotta go report his abilities…" said Matsuo, walking towards a smaller tower within the facilities of the clan, and then, after a few minutes of waiting, meeting a small group of old men with long white beards and shining yellow eyes.

"Oh! But if it isn't the rascal Matsuo? How has your family been?" asked one of the old men.
"It has been all nice, ancestor, thanks for your concern,"
"It is good to know that you're doing well, I can already notice that your Mana has increased a lot since our last meeting, you're working hard, are you not? You're still young, take it easy, and make sure to enjoy your youth," said another old man.
"I will, ancestor-sama," said Matsuo.
"Matsuo-kun, was there something you needed to report today?" asked one of the old men, he and the others already seemed rather acquitted with Matsuo.
"Indeed, it is regarding our newest member, the talented Frank James," said Matsuo.
"Oh, that rascal, the foreigner kid," said one of the old men.
"Oh, right, I remember him! He was a Healer, was he?" asked another.
"Indeed, he is… alongside many other things. Well, you see…" continued Matsuo, as he went into detail about all the capabilities that he had discovered in Frank, the calm Ancestors went from understanding to surprise, and some were even a bit in disbelief, even though their long lives, they had never seen someone capable of doing what Matsuo was describing.
"That's… Matsuo-kun, are you not putting a prank on us, right?" asked an old man.
"No, Ancestor… Frank is indeed a Gaia's Gifted, with the abilities that I had just listed," said Matsuo.
The old men began a small commotion.
"That's insane!"
"What kind of Gaia's Gifted would have so many abilities at the same time?"
"This young man is a prodigy!"
"We must ensure that he never changes his idea about our clan!"
"If he ever ends up leaving us and joins another clan, we'll be losing an excellent clan member!"
"Matsuo-kun, make sure to be nice to him, you must make him feel as welcome as possible within your Clan,"
"I will, Ancestor. I am already doing that without being told so, I find in Frank a very good-hearted man, he is a good representation of our Clan's principles," said Matsuo.
"A righteous young man with a good heart? It is nice to know that he hasn't grown wicked like other Gaia's Gifted…" said another of the Ancestors.
"Ah, Ancestor-sama, you mean…?" asked Matsuo.
"Yes… we still have not forgotten that Gaia's Gifted girl…" muttered one of the Ancestors.
"Shuten Doji's granddaughter, you mean?" asked another.
"Yeah, that girl, atop of being the descendant of that wicked Demon, she was even gifted more power…" muttered another.

"We had a hard time trying to instill our principles on her, but at the end, a Demon is a Demon," said another.
"She ended leaving the clan after the Great Ancestor left her to go willingly, she must have known that if she didn't, a catastrophic fight would have unfolded…" muttered another.
"I will make sure that our Clan does not commit the same mistakes with Frank, I assure you, please, leave it to me," said Matsuo.
"Very well, then,"
"We trust you, Matsuo-kun,"
"You're a talented and righteous young man, a bit too hard worker, I still believe that you should rest a bit,"
"Anyways, we'll register the abilities that you told us about that young man, you can leave, Matsuo-kun,"
"Thanks, Ancestors," said Matsuo, walking out of the large hall as the Ancestors kept discussing the prospects of Frank's future.
"So this young rascal can 'level up'?" asked one of the Ancestors.
"Indeed, 'leveling up' is a thing related to the games of nowadays that the younglings play," said another.
"To think that Gaia would give a human such as the young Frank a power similar to such games…" said a third.
"According to Matsuo-kun, he also possesses 'stats', which are numbers that display his total power in several fields. By leveling up, he can instantly increase such numbers, which directly increases his power… He can level up simply by defeating Monsters…" said a fourth, while sipping some green tea.
"That's an impressive and overwhelming power, with that, he only needs some time to become unstoppable…" said another.
"So he can simply grow without having to actually train his Mana, techniques, or spells?" asked another.
"According to Matsuo, he can 'level up' his Skills too, by simply repeatedly performing them until the proficiency automatically increases," said another.
"That is also, incredibly strong…" said another Ancestor.
"Add that to the ability to acquire a Skill from any book that teaches a technique or spell… Instantly," said another.
"And he also can acquire items out of 'nowhere? Like those Creator Sorcerers or even… the power of Creation that the Gods have…" said another.
"Could it be, is the young man something similar to a Demigod?"
"No… He is clearly far too weak to be like that, for now…"
"But it might be that in the future, he will become one, we must ensure that he has forged a strong bond with our clan, having a Demigod as an ally might increase our total strength by a tenfold,"
"That is right, it is better to help him grow in here, so he grows attached to our Clan,"
"As long as he behaves and works diligently, we'll welcome him,"
"According to Matsuo, he might be an even greater hard worker than Matsuo himself… he had recently learned how to make Domains, so he suspected that he might… spend whole nights 'leveling up'," said another old man.
"Hmmm… The future might be wilder than we imagined…" muttered another.
As the old men discussed and considered the upcoming future, the presence of the Great Ancestor suddenly appeared within the hall, as if she had teleported there within an instant, startling the old men for a bit.
"Ah! Great Ancestor-sama!"
"Great Ancestor-sama, our lady, you could have called us to your tower if you wanted to speak to us…"
"Great Ancestor-sama, is there something you desire?"
"All of you felt it too, right?" she asked while smiling, her yellow eyes glowing with sparkling sunlight. Her presence was incredibly overwhelming, but the Ancestors, although not as old as her, were very strong, and already accustomed to her Divine Aura.
"Great Ancestor-sama… You mean…?" asked one.
"Indeed, the boy, Frank, his presence. He does have it," said the Great Ancestor.
"So that was it!"
"We thought that it might have been just a miscalculation on our part…"
"But if the Great Ancestor-sama says so, it must be true,"
"To think that the boy was to be so gifted to possess the 'Source'!"
"Then… isn't he…?"
"Indeed, he is the connection within the cosmos and the rest of the worlds… This secret must be kept within our Clan," said the Great Ancestor.
"Such… amazing potential! He will truly bring upon our world a new Era…!"
"We must protect him well, many organizations- no, the entire world might be after him!"
"There are very people that know the true identity of his Ability, for now, we must lay low and help him progress… He will bring salvation upon the world, but if he falls into the wrong hands, destruction and chaos is the only thing that we can wait for…" said the Great Ancestor.
"Hm, it is a very delicate issue, Great Ancestor-sama…"
The Great Ancestor and the rest of the Ancestors kept discussing their next course of action regarding Frank and his bright future, and the dangers that are already lurking all around them.
