216 Body Runes (1/2)

Within the inheritance building, Leon had anticipated it would be a building filled with books on the study of runes, artificer techniques, and everything related to Arden Gilardi's lifetime of research. But what he didn't expect to actually find was a single empty large room.

Neither did he expect that of the ways he would enter the inheritance room, it would be directly through spatial manipulations. Spatial manipulations that were created through the power of runes!

Leon's eyes glowed at the endless possibilities this discovery entails.

If a difficult law of higher-order like space can be commanded through the use of runes, then it should be even more possible for primary laws like fire, water, earth, and the like...

Since an artificer can manipulate the laws with runes, it was also possible to be used for battle and not remain purely as a production-type profession…

After a moment, Leon shook his head with a wry smile. He was profaning an amazing technology with ill thoughts.

Whether it was the past, present, or future, when it came to the introduction of amazing new technology, people would always think about whether it can be weaponized for military usage. Leon wasn't an exception from this, especially when he was currently the prince of a kingdom within turbulent times.

Bringing his thoughts back to the present, Leon felt a little blank and at a loss as he stared around the room. The room was like the starry skies of the night, cold and dark but filled with various tiny spots of light that give color and life to the void.

If not for the feeling of his feet touching the ground, he would have actually thought he had been sent into the outer world, beyond the boundaries of Gaia.

The reason he could tell the room was void of any books or the bookshelves that may contain it was not because he had swept the place with his divine sense, but the tiny spots of light in the room provided him with enough visibility to understand that it was for a fact, empty.

”Where is the inheritance? The books? The knowledge? The research?” Leon frowned. Did he get scammed?

Leon took some steps forward and studied the room of the starry sky. It wasn't something that was seen on the ground, the walls, and the ceiling but in the air as well. It was a three-dimensional starry sky.

If this starry sky was meant to be all the inheritance Arden had to offer for the future generation then it couldn't be as simple as it appears to be.

Although Leon was disappointed that he didn't find books filled with runic knowledge, he didn't dwell on it and began to ponder about the starry sky room.

After a moment, his eyes lit up with a thought. ”Could this actually be a star map?”

When he focused even further, he found that these projections of celestial bodies were made with runes, runes that didn't require engraving on a runic plate. It was able to exist on its own as a body of energy like a living rune…

Some words could also be found above the celestial bodies.

”Gnabestea Star Realm…”

”It really is a star map! Maybe I can finally find out with part of the universe I've been sent to for transmigration.”

Leon had seen multiple star maps before back in the Divine Realm. Whether it was the Eastern Region, Western Region, Northern Region, or Southern Region, he had seen them all. As for the Desolate Region that exists outside the Divine Realm, he had not seen much about it.

But as long as the star map contained even a section that belonged to the Divine Realm, he would be able to recognize which region it was a part of, given some time.

Leon glanced at each spot of light that represented a star. Each star that was capable of nurturing life in its system was called a star realm. Thankfully, the star map was relatively detailed with names listed.

After a while, he scrunched his brows together. He did not recognize any of these star realms nor the region was located in for that matter It wasn't a big star map. There only around 100-star realms in this star map.

”Could Gaia be in the deepest part of the Desolate Region?”

The location of Gaia on the star map, Leon had already found it. It was at his original spot when he teleported inside the room, which was at the outer rims. Gaia was found in the Vandelheim Star Realm.

Surprisingly, it wasn't the center of the star map, which drew Leon's suspicion. Usually, star maps are made with the star realm it made in as its center unless the star map represented an entire starfield with no other star realms within its nearby vicinity.
