Chapter 51 Nothing is real. (1/2)

Roland was standing in thethe blade that he previously made He had looked at it many tiging skill he was able to always see the runic structures of any item that he came across If he focused on it the skill would show hireen

He had already seen how his blade should look while under his skill and so, they didn’t fit the sword that hehere

Roland lanced at the walls He looked at the doors and even the ceiling He could see the in here had runes inscribed into them

He had come to this place lance at so was really wrong here, even the potted plant that was in the corner had runic components on it

He quickly ran downstairs, he wanted to ask Zilyana if she noticed soot downstairs he saw the elf just standing there, her body consumed by runic traces

Roland backed away, the elf covered in runic symbols just looked at him and smiled

“Oh? What’s the rush? Are you sure that you don’t want sohtest smile that she could This only made Roland shake his head, he decided to leave the store for now

On the outside it was all the sa the streets and the buildings Even the sky was full of them He deactivated his skill and shook his head side to side while trying to gather his thoughts

The moment the skill wasn’t active he saw the world as he nor looked out of place He squatted down and touched the soil, he even picked soers

This was strange indeed Even without using his debugging skill, he should be able to so active he couldn’t feel the characteristic ive out

‘Illusion?’

His mind wandered in a certain direction as he reactivated his skill again He now looked at the runic components that were around hi he had ever seen

‘Grand…nogreater rune?’If it was a grand rune then it would be so on a tier 4 level These structures were more advanced than coreater runic structure

He had diagra on the type of spell the runes belonged to some of the components would repeat themselves An ice arrow rune would share some components that an ice blast rune had The sanized some of those structures

Some of the runic formations looked similar to runes that had to do with illusions There were also soet's state ofsimilar to a sleep rune component just more intricate

From his observations, he deduced that he had fallen victim to so was not real, when it happened was a h He activated his skill when he was back at his workshop so it had to have happened after he left

Was he attacked in the street or when he arrived at the company store?

Also why soht up in another er?

It had been one and a half years since the hootten about it till this moment No itenitude

‘Am I trapped in here?”

He looked around, his heart pounding fast He had no idea what the person that put hier to his throat while he was here unable to do anything?

With the skill activated he started looking around Even though these runic structures were more advanced, they were still just runes He had spent years studying them and he kne to tell the pathways apart from each other

There was always one pri connected Without that rune the whole spell would instantly collapse, maybe if he found it he could destroy or alter it If he could dae these runic structures was still unclear but he didn’t have much ti around, looking at him In this world he was alone and he didn’t know if it had some kind of defensive mechanise, it was better to find the prime rune first and destroy it

Roland could even see in what direction it was There werein one direction, in the direction of his workshop This world of illusions was probably made from his memories and his workshop hadfor there

He strapped his sword to his side Even though it wasn’t real it probably would work against the denizens of this world He walked while slightly rushi+ng, he could feel strange gazes on his back that were giving hi behind hiination?

The walk back to his workshop felt really long but heout of the ordinary happening He quickly opened up the entrance and ducked inside, closing the reinforced door right behind hih and quickly quieted down It was really silent in here, he couldn’t hear anything outside either He still wasn’t sure what this illusion world was or how it operated A runic ite like this h quality materials

But where there was a runic artifact that was active, the caster was probably not far behind Some items could be activated re on theprocess There had to be someone to activate it unless he walked into some kind of trap that set it off instead

Roland activated his debugging skill The pathways converged into one spot, into his forge The one he was using was made from bricks but now looked like a Christical pathways soreater rune wasn’t quite perfect

The pathways connected to a larger rune that was in the middle, this was the prime rune It consisted of ic circle This priht in the middle, the other runes and runic components were around it in another outer circle

Roland e that was part of this illusion of a workshop It was really convincing as he couldn’t really notice a difference between this world and the real one, at all

He placed his digit on one of the runic pathways and tried rubbing on it, this didn’t achieve anything at all Even when he grabbed a ical pathway re in the air instead of sinking back into the brick, it was as if the forge wasn’t even there to begin with

‘I guess it won’t be that easy…’

He ical pathway that he tried to rub off his forge He injected so towards the runic structure

As a runesmith he was someone that was able to affect runic structures with his ownhe was able to repair runes but also destroy them It was part of the process, you just reood ones

The moment he touched the trace and activated his skill he saw it cru apart This was only one of the many that he had to remove before the whole structure became unstable Thea bit, it was as if a sical pathway that he severed with his finger started to slowly mend itself back into shape It see property but it was slow enough for him to continue his work

The more pathways he destroyed theto his interference

‘I should probably hurry up…’
