Single Wish: Rise Of The Omniscient Paragon

(Inside the hut)

Corey sat on a wooden chair with a cup of tea in his hands. In front of Corey was the old man who was sitting on a rocking wooden chair with a frown on his face as he was seemingly in deep thoughts.

Corey sipped on his tea which was given to him by the old man and as he drank his tea, he observed the old man.

This time, as he observed the old man he noticed a few things.

First of all, he noticed something strange about the old man's eyes.

He had noticed before that the man's eyes were golden, but when he looked at the man's eyes once again, he realized that the old man's eyes we're strange.

The man had three golden triangles in his eyes, the three golden triangles were connected to each other by their bases leaving a silver circular opening in the middle.

Corey was somewhat fascinated by the cool looking eyes and a thought appeared in his mind.

'Can I also have cool looking eyes?'

Corey eventually stopped looking at the old man's eyes and continued his observation of the old man.

But just as he was about to continue his observation, the old man spoke, causing Corey to stop his observation.

The old man looked at Corey, not bothered about the fact that Corey was observing him.

"So you're telling me that you got to this place through a dungeon?"

The man asked and Corey nodded his head in response.

"Hmm." The man stroked his beard a few times as he looked at Corey.

"I'll need to look at your memories."

The man said and Corey frowned.

The man seeing Corey's frown had a small smile on his face.

"We can do it the easy way or the hard way.

Just know the hard way would be painful for you."

The man spoke with an indifferent tone and expression causing Corey's frown to deepen.

"I have secrets." Corey replied calmly after been silent for a few seconds.

He knew there was no way for him to defeat or even escape from the old man due to his absurd strength.

He was helpless before the old man and was at the mercy of the old man. Knowing he could not stop the old man from forcefully going through his memories, he was hoping he could reason with him.

Meanwhile the old man rolled his eyes hearing Corey's words.

"Everybody has secrets boy, even I do."

"Also, if the secret you're talking about is your talent which is omniscience, then that 'secret' was exposed a long time ago."

Corey's pupils constricted hearing the words of the old man. His heart beat increased slightly and sweat dripped off his forehead.

"How did you-?"

"How did I know?

Well it's not like you're actually hiding your talent boy.

As long as somebody is strong enough or has the right equipment or skill, then they can view everything on your status window."

The man said with amusement in his tone and a half smile formed on his lips as he saw more sweat forming on Corey's forehead.

"I don't know how you've kept your talent a secret from powerful people but if I was to guess,

I would say you've just been lucky."

"Now, are we doing this the hard way or easy way?

Personally?

I prefer the hard way."

Corey looked at the old man who had a sadistic grin on his face.

'This old man is definitely crazy.'

Corey thought then sighed. He laid back on his chair and sipped from his mug of tea.

"Do it the easy way. It's not like I had a choice in the first place."

The old man chuckled and before Corey's eyes, he disappeared and reappeared in front of him in an instant, not a single second was gone in that instant.

"What-"

Corey tried to speak but in the next instant, Corey saw the old man's finger move towards his forehead.

It looked slow in Corey's eyes but Corey knew that it was anything but slow.

He didn't try to dodge the finger or do anything since that would be stupid on his part.

Just as he was expecting the procedure to be painful or even traumatizing, he was stunned when he saw the man walk away from him a second after his finger touched his head.

A blank and dazed expression appeared on his face for a few seconds since he was unable to comprehend what just happened.

Meanwhile the old man who was walking back to his rocking wooden chair had a deep frown on his face.ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

'How can the blood essence of a Supreme be in the boy's planet?

And from his memories, it's most likely the blood essence of their ancestor, the All-Father.

Does my ancestor know about this?

Is this also part of their plans?'

...

"Haaa. This is so frustrating." The old man rubbed his forehead in frustration causing Corey to look at him with a strange look.

Corey decided to keep quiet and waited for the old man to speak.

A few seconds later, the man sighed once again then looked at Corey, a serious expression could be seen on his face.

"I've gone through your memories and let's just say there were some things that I saw that were disturbing to me."

"First of all, let me just say you're extremely lucky to be alive after encountering a baby kraken, if you had done any harm to it, no matter how little, you would be dead by now."

The man said with an indifferent tone while Corey's mouth twitched hearing the words of the old man.

'If I'm so lucky why did I meet you?'

Keeping his thought to himself, he asked a question which was the most important on his mind.

"Let's leave stuffs about the baby kraken and speak about things which are actually important."

"First of all, where am I and can I go back to my planet?"

Corey asked with his heart beating faster than normal.

The answer to this question was very, very important to him.

"You're on another planet and yes, you can go back home.

I can send you back to your planet."

The old man said causing Corey to exhale a deep breath of relief.

"Since you're now more relaxed, we need to speak about something very important, the golden drop of blood that the merchant told you about."

Corey raised an eyebrow hearing this. He remembered the merchant telling him to sell him a golden drop of blood if he finds one in a dungeon.

He put the words of the merchant at the back of his mind since it was basically unimportant to him at the moment.

But from what he could see, it seems the golden drop of blood is much more important than he thought.

"Wait."

Just as the old man was about to continue speaking, he stopped him, causing the old man to raise an eyebrow.

"What?" The old man asked.

"What should I call you? I can't keep on calling you old man."

Corey said and an expression of anger appeared on his face.

"Call me an old man again and you will find yourself much, much deeper in the sea."

The man threatened and Corey kept his mouth shut.

His previous experience with the old man made him believe that the old man would truly do as he says.

'Next time don't have such long white hair and beard. You look like a damn old wizard with your look. The only thing missing is your pointy hat.'

Corey thought but dared not say his words out loud.

The previous actions of the old man had traumatized him.

Meanwhile the old man oblivious to Corey's thoughts had a smug expression seeing Corey's sealed lips.

"You're not worthy to know my real name but you can call me what others call me."

The old man took a pause, trying to build up suspense, expecting Corey to have an anticipating expression but Corey just rolled his eyes inwardly.

"They call me...The Wandering Paragon."

The old man spoke with pride and Corey tilted his head with a stunned and slightly dazed expression.

"..."

'Never in my life will I call you The Wandering Paragon.'

'I'm still gon call you old man, old man.'

He thought but dared not say his words out loud.
