Orion, after teleporting himself from the strange old man, appeared at the entrance of tower but he saw that there were some guards stationed at the entrance of the tower and it appeared they seemed to be blocking everyone from entering the tower.


    Many people like him stood at the entrance but they weren''t given an allowance to enter, forcing some of them to leave while others waited in patience.


    ''It seems because of the demon race attack, the tower is in maintenance now.''


    Orion spected, seeing the constant increase in guards as more time passed by.


    ''Looks like I will have to find some other space station to try out the Lottery of Fortune and Misfortune.''


    He didn''t waste any more time there and disappeared from there.


    ***


    Arriving near the void shuttle, Orion saw that Mike and his team had been looking around for him.


    Even his friends and Lisa were searching all around the void shuttle.


    Seeing them, he swiftly went to his dimension and changed back to his true self before revealing himself in front of them.


    "Hey guys!"


    Orion waved his hands at them with a smile.


    "Young Master!"


    Mike and everyone shouted when they saw him and sighed in relief that their young master was alright.


    "Sorry, I have troubled you guys."


    He indeed felt a little guilty about this but there was also a part of him that told him that everything would be fine as long as he didn''t go far; after all, he was their young master.


    "Let''s go home."


    He looked at the helpless faces of Mike and the other servants and directly entered the void shuttle.


    ***


    Inside the conference hall of the shuttle, everyone was sitting and talking to each other.


    It had already been an hour before they left the Starforge but they still hadn''t reached Blitz Haven.


    "Mike, how long?"


    Mike smiled helplessly upon hearing his young master''s words. He had asked the same question more than five times in the course of their flight from the Starforge.


    "Young Master, as I have told you before, it will still take us around an hour to reach there."


    Orion nodded. For some reason, as he was about to meet his mother and his little sister, he started feeling a little impatient and a bit more nervous.


    He had faced life-and-death situations, battled fearsome enemies, and endured unimaginable pain, yet the thought of seeing his family again after all this time filled him with an emotion he hadn''t expected—vulnerability.


    Would they recognize him? Would they ept the person he had be?


    He tried not to think about that, but in the end, the questions kept resurfacing in his mind.


    Memories of his mother''sforting smile and his sister''s innocentughter yed vividly every time he tried to think about anything else.


    ''Everything would be fine.''


    He took a deep breath and thought of something else.


    "Mike, tell me more about Grimshore."


    One thing that could make him interested would be the legendary Grimshore. He really wanted to know what this ce promised—that it could even attract the three other races.


    Mike gathered his thoughts about Grimshore before he exined everything.


    "We don''t really know how or when this ce came into existence. Some call it a higher ne—a higher realm than our three domains and even our whole universe as a whole—while others call this ce a boundary between the god realm and our realm. Nobody really knows about its origin and anything known about it is only a rumour."


    He paused for a moment before continuing.


    "Thousands of years ago, Grimshore suddenly appeared among us or, I might say, we were only able to sense Grimshore a thousand years ago. For one to be able to ess that world, one must first reach gold rank; otherwise, they won''t be able to ess that world ever."


    Orion nodded but it was his first time hearing that a requirement was needed to enter Grimshore.


    "Tell me more," he said, eager to know more about that ce. "Tell me, why do all four races, including us, seem to be interested in Grimshore?"


    Mike directly shook his head at him upon hearing his question.


    "Let me ask you something," he said instead, asking something from Orion. "Tell me why there is very little knowledge of Grimshore and not many people talk about this even though it is the ce everyone wants to go there. Our family has books rted to everything in our library but have you ever wondered why there aren''t books rted to the subject of Grimshore?"


    Mike''s words made Orion really think deeply about this matter.


    When he was a kid, he had gone to the library many times and read many things but he had nevere across anything rted to Grimshore.


    Even though he hadn''t read all the books in the library, he at least knew all the sections. There wasn''t any section about Grimshore, even though there were mentions of the Seven Havens and the Seven Magi families controlling each Haven.


    This omission struck Orion as odd, given how significant Grimshore seemed to be.


    "I don''t know," he said to Mike, shaking his head. "Why is that?"


    Mike smiled mysteriously as he answered him.


    "Because there are secrets in Grimshore that everyone who has ever been there knows but can''t speak of. These secrets are bound by an unbreakable chain that keeps everyone tight-lipped about the ce. There''s a saying in this world: ''Everything about Grimshore remains in Grimshore.''"


    "Everything about Grimshore remains in Grimshore?" Orion felt that was too far-fetched. With so many people having visited Grimshore, there had to be someone who had let slip some details about the ce.


    But knowing how mysterious this ce was, he thought there might be some rules orws that forbid anyone from saying anything about Grimshore.


    ''But howe I heard people talk about alphagens and such things about Grimshore?''


    Thinking of that, he turned to Mike. As Orion looked at Mike''s smiling face, which seemed to suggest he already knew what Orion was thinking, his eagerness grew even more.


    "I know what you''re thinking. Alphagens? A ce to level up? These are just myths that the three domains have concocted. The real motive is simple: everyone should know about Grimshore, even if it''s through false knowledge. If the human race wants to grow stronger and develop further, we need more people in Grimshore.


    So, a false rumour has been spread across all three domains, making people believe that Grimshore holds more promise than anything else in this world."


    Orion nodded heavily. He felt that he had underestimated that ce too much.


    "These are the only things I can tell you, and in fact, these are the only things anyone would tell you about Grimshore," Mike said to Orion and his friends. "So, Young Master, if you want to uncover the real truth, you must be stronger quickly and enter Grimshore yourself."


    Orion nodded to him, but his thoughts were elsewhere. He remembered that Isis had sealed a memory inside of him—something she needed help with.


    She mentioned that he could unlock that memory at the silver rank, which made him curious if it was rted to Grimshore. After all, why else would she lock it inside and specify that it could only be unlocked at silver rank, just one rank below the gold rank required to enter Grimshore? This connection seemed too significant to be a mere coincidence.
