Spirit Soul

A few days passed since they had entered Kurym, the tiny border city they would be resting for the next several months.

Until now, not much happened in their group. Everyone did a few things to advance. Seeing that everyone worked hard was quite motivating which seemed to reflect on Arashi as the Spirit Soul started to evolve several days before he was ought to start evolving.

Kyle's surplus of Soul force was cut off from that day up to the completion of his Spirit Soul's evolution.

He had many things to do, but he noticed that Arashi was missing nonetheless.

"Why is it so sad?" Kyle asked in confusion. He knew that Arashi was inside him and that they would meet up in a few months. There was no need for him to be sad.

Nonetheless, he sighed deeply and looked out of the window of their large lodged house until Jaden interrupted his thoughts.

"There is no need for you to be sad. Rather, look at this. It will definitely be of your interest!" Jaden's body moved in excitement while his eyes gleamed in anticipation. There was also a bit of hesitation in his eyes and a glint of worry.

But all negative emotions were overwhelmed by his excitement as he found something very interesting.

"Okay, then give me the book, I will take a look," Kyle just said, before he ended up with the book of the [Fallen Olympus] in his hand. Jaden had read through it multiple times because something had irked him.

The others were also a bit confused about this book but none other than Jaden read it until now.

"The Olympus is not heaven. It is the Sea, the Dead, and the Heaven. Build by the master smith, the town surrounded by the gate of clouds could only be entered by those who received the permission of the three," Kyle read out loud, frowning lightly before he continued to read in silence.

Every now and then he squinted his eyes, his expression froze and he began to feel a complicated mix of emotions.

"The Olympus fell and with it all the Gods, Some died, others survived and merged in the rows of the race that had once revered them. The Fallen Olympus turned into the training grounds to teach the new Gods that were born with the talent of those, who had deceased. More Gods were born than existed from the beginning of time.

The Fallen Olympus was respected by everyone, but too many desired to have it for themselves. One day it disappeared never to be found ever again.

Only those with the Olympus permission and those, who are alive even after they died once are able to enter it…is it speaking about Old Souls?" Kyle issued his doubts when he finished the paragraph he had been reading out loud. Some points in the book bothered him. It was almost as if it was speaking about him and the other Souls of the Old Universe.

But even if everything written in the Fallen Olympus book was true, it didn't mean that it was related to the forbidden forest.

It would be quite illogical if the training grounds of Gods were to be the marked area on the dragonscale map. Kyle didn't believe that this was possible.

In fact, the Guild Master would definitely know about this place. He would never allow anyone to get to know about its existence.

"That makes no sense. The forbidden forest may be called forbidden, but there are still more than enough Adventurers, who seek the thrill inside all kinds of forbidden areas. If some sort of Fallen Olympus were to be there, it would definitely be known…" Kyle was a bit confused.

He didn't feel that it would be dangerous to follow the dragonscale map and the marked area. However, he sensed some sort of danger from the Fallen Olympus.

The Fallen Olympus was not something he could ignore. If it truly existed it was definitely worth being searched for. There were no information about its whereabouts but Kyle had a weird feeling.

"You found that book in the library's section to the forbidden forest, right?" Kyle asked Jaden with a serious face.

Jaden nodded his head and sweat trickled down his temples.

"Yes…" Jaden answered before he lowered his tone as he continued, "...are you worried about the same thing I'm worried about?"

Kyle tilted his head lightly, his expression showed signs of confusion.

"I mean, do you also think that we approach a place, this Fallen Olympus, which may already be occupied by someone else?" Jaden changed his question a bit before asking it. His expression showed signs of worry, and Kyle could understand why Jaden was so worried

"It is possible that the marked section brings us to some sort of heavenly place to cultivate or to train, it might as well be the Fallen Olympus. However, it could also bring us to some sort of hidden treasure, someone's grave, or the Legacy trial of a powerful being.

In the end, we cannot be sure that there is a treasure, to begin with. There may be opponents, or literally nothing but woods as well," Kyle answered with a shrug.

He didn't know the answer Jaden wanted him to say, to tell him what exactly they were looking for.

They made a big gamble by looking for the treasure but Kyle could tell that it was worth it. The more he learned about the forbidden forest, the more interesting it became.

The dragonscales in their possession were also not that simple. There was something special about them, other than the fact that they belonged to another Old Soul.

Kyle could tell that many adventures awaited them as long as they would strive forward. They were not supposed to avoid their goals.

Instead, barging straight at them was the best solution, and Kyle was pretty sure that it was worth it.

He felt it, and that was enough for him to be motivated to give his all. The others could tell that there was something special about the dragonscales, and the forbidden forest.

If they couldn't sense it, they would have long since tried to convince him that his idea was stupid. However, instead of discouraging Kyle the others supported his decision wholeheartedly.

This meant a lot to Kyle, even if he knew that they merely acted like this because they also knew that great opportunities and treasures awaited them.

Even Jaden was similar to this. If the gamble of the dragonscale map was a failure, then Kyle's existence alone was already more than enough to satiate Jaden's desire for opportunities to grow.

Kyle's Nurture ability was more than just ability. It was a blessing for him, and everyone around him. As long as they had enough time, they were bound to receive enough opportunities to kill more beasts and to gain the necessary strength to become stronger and stronger.

"Maybe I was too worried," Jaden said before turning around to leave.

However, Kyle knew that Jaden was not too worried. In fact, Jaden's reaction was only normal.

Who could be certain what their future would reveal?

Who knows what would happen the moment they entered the forbidden forest?

Would the Fallen Olympus await them, an army of hostile beasts, or something entirely different?
