The Supreme Level Up System

Chapter 160 Force Release



After returning home, Aion confirmed that things were the same as usual. He felt conflicted knowing that everyone did their own things even without his presence. They even paid their taxes. It was a pity since Aion wanted to use any excuse to strengthen his iron rule. He realized that his mother was right when she said that he had been a bit too shrewd lately…

Regardless, Aion took a week of to rest properly and then began to work on the reports that had piled up. Artemisia helped him as well, even though he told her to rest for a while longer. Things soon began to return to normal on their lives, normal as they could be considering the circumstances of their lives.

"It seems that Rarth and the others are doing a good job as captains and sailors," Artemisia said. "The money coming from the maritime revenue increased by two and half times in the last month."

"Yeah," Aion said while watching the town from the window of his office.

While he was working, Aion couldn\'t focus as much as before because of the things he had learned. Time travel, dragons, the mission inherited by the followers of the god and goddess of that world. Whenever he thought about that, Aion would always end up thinking about Seris… She was truly gorgeous, even though their first conversation hadn\'t gone that well due to his suspicions.

"Hehe, now this is an expression I wanted to see," Artemisia said while poking Aion\'s cheeks. "You are lovesick."

Aion checked in a mirror before, and his deep in thought expression was quite dignified. There was no way that he would look like someone who was having romantic thoughts… He couldn\'t deny that he was thinking about Seris, though.

"I don\'t think that any battle-hardened soldier can fall in love that easily," Aion said. "We are trained to endure all kinds of things without blinking, after all."

"Although you always try to be your own person, it is amazing how cool-headed like your father you can be," Artemisia said. "In any case, she is probably ten years older than you, but you can\'t let such a catch go, Aion. The next time you see her, you have to be more assertive."

Artemisia began to teach Aion all kinds of things that a woman liked in men, while that was her own preference. Aion couldn\'t deny some of the tips… she could sell a book and call it: one hundred and one ways on how to catch a babe. Putting 1his mother\'s enthusiasm aside, Aion was having a hard time not thinking about Seris when he recalled the past incident or time travel. He thought that it was due to the silver hair, but then he recalled that he didn\'t that much about her brother before.

"Well, I guess my hormones are finally catching up to me," Aion thought.

In any case, after a few months, Aion realized that the growth of his territory had slowed down considerably. It wasn\'t like they were on the red. In fact, Aion was obtaining three hundred gold coins every month, and his wallet was getting stacked. Still, stagnation bothered Aion. Even though that was a good chance for Aion to focus on other things, he decided to work harder to improve his business.

While those don\'t make him that much money anymore if compared to the resources Aion obtained managing his own, he decided to buy all kinds of establishments all over the kingdom. Inns, blacksmith shops, taverns, libraries… he used a lot of money to increase the scope of his activities. Libraries were particularly expensive since it was hard to write and copy a book, but that was a good investment in exchange for knowledge. Aion needed to learn more about the past, and he couldn\'t wait for the information to fall on his lap.

During that time, Aion also worked on completing the technique that he used against the ice dragon. While Seris said that the monster was weakened due to the environment, Aion still put up a good fight once he got close enough. At first, Aion\'s idea was to make a core while storing those three types of energy and then use it when he needed it. However, while using them at the same time was easy, storing them in the same place wasn\'t. Moreover, he failed at even creating cores separately.

It took him a few months, but Aion eventually solved the problem. The trick behind it was relatively simple… Aion just had to keep the energy in a state of hibernation after he stored it in the final layer of his body. Aion had to train for a while to make that possible. He needed absolute control over his body and feelings to make that possible. Otherwise, the technique would be unleashed. Moreover, Aion couldn\'t store that much energy. Otherwise, the control becomes even harder…

"This is just a temporary solution, and it will work well as training to refine my control over those sources of energy…" Aion thought. "Anyway, I guess I will name this technique: Force Release. I have to mention the original level of this technique, after all."

Putting that aside, over the next few months, Aion received some letters of his father mentioning his research on the subject of the past. The royal family had an archive that had all sorts of forbidden topics and banned books. Still, they were smart enough to store everything instead of burning what they deemed suspicious.

Zaera kingdom wasn\'t the oldest nation in the world. It was around fifteen centuries old. Lexus didn\'t find any mention about the time the god and goddess did something like sealing the power to travel between time and space, so it was probably something that happened way before. However, he found the mention that the Mirelis kingdom had several temples across the world, the locations have been lost, but they were all impossible to access due to some barriers…
