《Making of a Gentleman》Chapter-27: Secrets
Advertisement
Suddenly he heard a voice from beside “Your mom is safe don’t worry. She will be in your home within an hour.”
John couldn’t help but curse in his head ‘Uncle Peter, don’t sleep talk OK’
Peter saw strange look on John’s face but didn’t understand He simply pointed his finger to Jake’s mobile.
John hurriedly took Jake’s mobile and saw a message ‘OK boss we will safely return her home ,within a hour’
For John everything looked so out of real. He slapped himself several times to make sure he was not dreaming and laughed out loud. He was happy but bewildered at the same time. His whole concept of villains changed overnight so ,he was still in the middle of processing everything.
Peter calmly watched John from the sides. He was like Dara and Jaden , who was searching for the mysterious object and travelled from place to place ,person to person but unlike them he was here to protect the owner of the microchip and rarely killed anyone in the process.
Peter suddenly had a vague hunch that John was different but didn’t know how . He decided to just probe his soul to make sure everything alright. But just when his soul entered John ,he was shocked senseless by the defense mechanism . His soul was repulsed back without giving him any chance to probe.
[Warning! Warning! User your soul had been attacked by outside ]
John was snapped out of his daze by the system and became perplexed . He just blurted out “soul attack?”
Peter who was stunned earlier was taken back . He got up suddenly and said “How do you know soul attack? Tell me which part of Devata realm are you from? Are you looking for the same mysterious object?”
John had no idea what was going on “Uncle Peter ,what are you talking about? Devata realm? Mysterious object ? Are you still sleep talking?”
Peter didn’t reply .He simply studied John for a while, his eyes brightened every moment . His body shuddered for a moment . He became excited beyond control .

John who confused by the strange development . He opened his mouth to ask if Peter needed some help to go to nearby hospital but in the next instant his jaw dropped to the floor.
Peter knelt in front of him with is fist on his chest “Greetings ,young master”
John stood up immediately and asked in a worried voice “Uncle Peter ,what is going on here?”
Peter stood up slowly and closed the door of office . He made sure all security cameras were disconnected. Finally he stood in a corner and asked calmly
“Young master ,have you recently encountered a mysterious object ?”
John couldn’t help shudder at this question. ‘How did he know? I can’t answer this question otherwise I will be dead’
[Dear user , I have scanned the opposite party and found no malicious intention. You can be truthful this time]
John felt like he was out of death Jaw . He sat down slowly and drank some water and asked “How did you know?”
Peter’s eyes glowed brilliantly . He couldn’t help but laugh out loud . He slammed his first to a nearby wall like a beast on drug. After a long time ,he controlled his emotion.
“Young master , you have no idea how long I am searching for you. Its been 657 years since I came to lower realm. Finally you showed up.”
John could still feel that Peter’s body was shivering with excitement. He suddenly felt like he no longer understood anything . “657 years? Do you think I am a kid ?Uncle Peter , seems like you have overslept. Wake up already, do you want me to slap you to wake you up?”
Peter chuckled in response “Young master ,it is normal for you to not to believe me. Let me explain properly . Do you know who was the creator of you microchip?”
John shook his head .Other then knowing him as a wise man and his virtual master .He had no idea.

Peter was satisfied by the reply “Before I tell his identity ,it is important to understand few things first. I am sure you have heard a saying , a person’s eyes are doors to his soul. This seemingly simple line holds key to higher realms.
Everything you are seeing now is just a limitation imposed by order of lower realm . Your eyes can see much more than this but to do that the powers hidden inside your soul need to be awakened . Have you ever wondered why the universe is pitch black .Scientists here call it as dark matter , dark force and what not! But in fact Universe is extremely colorful ,only our eyes are fooling us.
Galaxies , planets you see in telescope including your solar system are just considered as lower realm in the vast universe. The one above this realm is called Devata Realm , that’s where I came from and that’s where you belong.”
John was shocked ‘To think that all along we are all partially blind in a lower realm is hard to digest .’
Peter continued “It is important to understand that not anyone can enter a higher realm . When a person dies in a lower realm like Earth ,his souls will travel to the first realm gate and tested on accumulated Karma . If the requirements of the realm gate is fulfilled then it will give access to Devata Realm otherwise he would be recycled back to lower realms where he would be reborn again.
When he enters Devata Realm, his hidden soul powers will be unlocked and he could be able to see much more than in lower realms. There is no end to this cycle . According to some legends ,Devata Realm also is not the final destination for souls. It is said that when a person meets certain conditions his soul would be able to enter another unknown higher realm gate where his Karma is tested again to give access to that Realm. Depending on the soul’s Karma a soul could travel to endless higher realms in the vast universe.”
John asked instinctively “Uncle Peter , are you saying that ideally a soul a can travel something like, lower realm -realm gate-higher realm- realm gate -even higher realm and so on.”
Peter Praised John’s comprehension with a smile but his expression became solemn as he came to main matter
“Young master ,your master is missing in Devata realm for 1000 years and it is widely rumored that his soul had already entered another higher realm. As a result everyone in the Devata realm became agitated ,they wanted to know the method used by your master but rumor has it that even people closest to your master didn’t know.
All they know was your master left behind a mysterious object in lower realm that has clues to higher realm. Many people are already looking for this object for thousands of year in every inhabitable planet of lower realm but no one has been lucky so far.
I can’t believe I could encounter you like this . You might be wondering now ,why I am not making a move to snatch it from you . Aha..aha..you don’t have to worry I am also from the same school as your master.”
John started to have cold sweat when he learned everyone is after his microchip . Its not that he was unwilling to give but the moment any attempt is made to remove the object ,it would explode . John finally understood ‘ Everything comes with a price after all.’
“Uncle Peter tell me something about Devata realm?” John was itching to know more about Devata realm all along but due to his low level his system unable to satisfy his curiosity. Finally he had a chance to know ,how can he let go.

The Madec Legacy
The dawn of Emotion Based A.I.s is here, John is the fifth test subject to have an AI implemented in his brain, and so far the first one to survive. Blinded by the dream of immortality, the researchers push the tests to inhumane standards. John is obligated to take part in sessions of torture designed to test the limits of the AI influence over the physical and mental health. What was supposed to be a new beginning in life turns into living hell. An (un)lucky twist ends his life. John then reincarnates with his AI in a new world where a System influences the interaction between Magic and Matter. With seemingly limitless potential and a game-like system influencing the world, the hero sets on his journey. --AUTHOR NOTE, PLEASE READ-- I will state here my promises to you, potential reader: 1. No harem! I don't trust myself to make a harem feel natural or healthy, I never met any person who has a personality that can adapt and live in a harem for reasons that are not monetary, so I can't draw inspiration from real life. Sorry!; 2. The enemies will not be bland and illogically mean. Some may feel like that at first, but I will take great care in fleshing them out, trust me. You may end up hating some, but you won't be able to deny that they had their reasons for what they did; 3. I am using a paid (and expensive) automated editor tool, and I take longer to write because I take my time in editing the stuff. I am aiming to improve and I will not shy away from constructive criticism, nor take offense for no reason; 4. Characters will die and will suffer, some will get over the tragedies and improve, others will not be as resilient. 5. This novel has a lot of ground to cover, it is neither a short story, a manual on crafting, or the script of some action scene. There will be both time skips and oversimplifications of some actions for the sake of moving the story forward. Time skips will be more prominent in the first 30 chapters. I will describe crafting processes and fights with more detail if they are essential for the chapter; 6. If I took my time describing something, it's because it is important. I hate novels that waste time describing useless stuff. If you skim over something, the chances are that something in the future will not make sense. I am an adept of "Chekhov's gun" principle; 7. I already have 31k words on my auxiliary documents, I have a plan for the story, and I will not be making changes even if someone ends up noticing some foreshadowing and figures out what will happen. The story comes first. 8. I have a wife, a job that demands 9h every day and courses related to my job (lawyer) three days of the week, it's unlikely that I will be able to do mass releases at all. I will have a healthy amount of chapters to be able to post at least 1 chapter every day continually. Don't worry. 9. I will read all the comments. I will listen to all you have to say and will try my best to accommodate demands as long as they do not hamper the path I prepared. 10. There is an arc that spans the entire novel. Each volume will be an arc in itself while progressing a little bit of the main arc. Every arc will have one or more main antagonists. I think that's it! Thank you for reading it all. Have an awesome time reading my first novel!!

Tartarus Online
“The new is built upon the old. This is true across all realities, and even the gods themselves cannot escape this fact. Welcome to Tartarus Online, a VRMMOG (Vi-Mog) that offers far more than your usual roleplaying game fare. It is a whole new reality, with a completely level playing field. Gone are the choices of Classes and Archetypes, starting kits and pay-for features. In the bowels of Tartarus, only your effort matters. Once more I welcome you to Tartarus Online. We are going to have a Hells’ of a time.” These were the words that really caught Riley Culman’s attention while watching the promotional video the two guys in nicely tailored suits had brought to him. The two men had come with an invitation, and an offer; which sounded more like a deal with a devil, but was seriously on the up-and-up.

Explore a brand new world. Sleep away his chair-bound life while testing the latest in long term virtual reality immersion technology. And maybe, just maybe regain the mobility robbed from him by an accident as a child. It really sounded all too good to be true to Riley, thus the feeling of making a deal with a devil. But it was what he wanted, more than anything. Welcome to Tartarus Online indeed. Even if the Hells’ are only a step away. [I will also be hosting this story on Scribble Hub, thank you.]
