My Space-Time System

From his day-to-day life at the Square, it was already clear that a lot of nobles both on his level or under didn't like him. Knowing that they were jealous of his achievements, it was a no-brainer that many were making moves behind the scenes to eliminate him.

With so many targets on his back, Blake had long ago realized that worrying would not save him, only making plans on eliminating his enemies and getting stronger would help him.

"It's been a rough day, let's go grab something to eat." Blake said before they boarded a carriage that took them to a restaurant in the middle region.

After eating and spending more time with Camilla, Blake sent her home before boarding another carriage that took him to the Adventurer Association.

"Major Blake, how may we be of help today?" The receptionist of the magic store asked.

Apart from being a former well-known adventurer, Blake's position as the youngest Major of the ash corp had made him even more famous all-around Calton city.

"I would like to purchase 20 King rank beast cores." Blake replied.

Ebony and Ivory were the reason he and his team were still alive, so it was necessary that he rewarded them with a bountiful feast.

"20?" The receptionist was shocked by the quantity Blake stated because the cost of gold coins was outrageous.

"Yes." Blake replied, not caring about her shocked expression.

"Are there any particular beast cores you would like me to pick out for you?" The receptionist quickly composed herself.

"If you are able to split half into fire-type beast cores and the other half into water-type beast cores then it would be great." Blake replied.

"Alright, that would be 5 million gold coins." The receptionist said.

"Alright, have it." Blake handed over his Black card and paid for the beast cores.

[Don't you think, with how much you are spending, your source of income will soon get investigated?] The system couldn't help but ask because almost every time Blake came into the Adventurer association, he was bound to spend nothing less than a million gold coins.

'I don't think that would even be possible.' Blake said. 'My earnings from the adventurer association and the ash corps are confidential to 3rd parties. Also, my Adventurer party Order of Chaos is still active, so they might think I am still getting money from there.'

'Furthermore, my main source of income is linked with the royal family. So trying to investigate me would only get them in trouble.' Blake explained.

Once he was done, Blake stowed away the beast cores and boarded a carriage back to his house in the middle region.

Blake wasted no time releasing Ebony and Ivory before feeding them the 20 King rank beast cores he just purchased.

'My weakness put them in danger.' Blake couldn't help but think as he watched Ebony and Ivory munch on the beast cores.

He had gotten used to relying on Ebony and Ivory for very tough situations, but this mission made him feel more helpless and guilty.

Blake felt useless and guilty as he watched them risk their lives for him while he couldn't make any form of contribution. The part that got to him the most was when he was continuously begging the heavens to bring them out of the red zone.

'If I had lost them, my career at the ash corps would be basically over.' Blake thought as he felt he had dodged a bullet.

Ranks at the Ash Corps were heavily dependent on one's power level. So by losing Ebony and Ivory, Blake would no longer have the minimum required Demigod power level for the Major rank. This meant he would no longer have the strength to complete special ops missions like that of the ruin.

[Your promotion to the Major rank was not supported by quite a lot of people. So even Prince Bryon will not be able to do anything about it.] The system said.

'I really need to get stronger!' Blake clenched his fists as multiple thoughts raced through his head.

…

2 days later, Blake was back at his office.

Fortunately, he had cleared up all the paperwork before leaving for Sandhaven, and since all members of his unit came along with him there was not much paperwork for him to handle.

Du! Du! Du!

Opening his eyes, Blake cursed the person disturbing his meditation a thousand times before taking out his communication amulet and seeing it was Colonel Darius.

"Colonel, how can I be of help." Blake saluted as he answered the call.

"We have another mission for you, please come over to my office for a breifing." Colonel Darius said.

"All right, sir. I will be there shortly." Blake saluted and ended the call.

"Another mission?!" Blake smacked his forehead.

[I advise you to get used to it because you are now the only special ops Major in Calton.] The system said.

"At this rate, I might end up quitting sooner than expected." Blake shook his head and accepted his fate.

…

"Colonel, you asked for me." Blake saluted as he walked into the office.

"There is a situation at Coastville. For 2 weeks now there has been a constant storm in the ocean; at first, it was thought to be normal but after 2 weeks without a break it surely isn't a normal storm." Darius explained as he handed him a file containing all the info about the mission.

"Your job is to find the cause of the storm and neutralize it if possible." Colonel Darius said. "Any questions?"

"Yes, sir. I awakened the fire and lightning element, so I am one of the worst people to send to an ocean. So why me?" Blake couldn't help but ask.

"I am aware of that, but there are no other special ops Majors available at the moment." Colonel Darius shook his head and continued. "Your main task is to investigate the matter, so if you encounter something you can't handle then request for backup."

"Alright, sir." Blake saluted and left the office.
