Within a Grand Tree in Titania’s Realm

“And thou are certain of this choice, young one?” One of the elders of the fae asks Katie as she stands in the center of a large greeting chamber within the Grand Tree. “As blood of Her Majesty, a place will always be here for thou.”

“I’m sure, there’s no doubt about that,” Katie says with a frown on her face. Something she has said at least a few times to each of their annoying attempts to keep her from leaving.

“Very well,” another of the elders states before declaring, “Princess Katie Adler, descendant of Her Majesty, Queen Titania, Progenitor of Radiance, and brother of The Winter Wolf, thou are hereby dismissed from any responsibilities that come with the title.”

Katie nods her head at that with a faint smile before feeling herself being sent out of the realm of the fae even though she can easily do it herself. Leaving her appearing within the Safe Zone back on Aegis.

Once she arrives, she stretches a little and flies up into the air. Then she goes ahead and reopens the System livestream she was watching before having to meet with the elder fae.

And immediately after opening it, she sees Wolf just sitting within the large arena after finishing the Second Centurion Quinzel. All while he smiles at an amulet floating above the mini boss chest for the quinzel. For the two-hundred-and-ninety-second floor.

Katie smiles as well when she sees the description of the item that he got.

Item | The Ring of Void Devouring | Tier 9

This ring allows the user to digest any void element they devour and absorb it to increase their own physical strength.

Any bonuses applied while this ring’s worn become permanent after twenty-four hours.

Looks like he got a second one. But for the void element this time.

She nods her head in satisfaction at the sight of her brother finally getting something useful from a mini boss he risked his life to fight. Because she knows exactly how his luck goes with these sorts of things. Just from the many games they’ve played together over the years.

Katie glances up as she waits for the spaceship to arrive, only occasionally looking at the livestream footage. And once the large spaceship finally arrives – one that was stolen from Technalogia – she immediately flies up to the hangar before entering the ship. Then she moves through it towards the bridge where she finds Aidan, her father, and her mother all waiting.

A smile lights up Katie’s face as she sees them. Since she hasn’t been able to see them for a little while.

Her family managed to leave Fae a while ago without any trouble. Largely because the fae elders lost interest in Katie’s mother once they realized she wasn’t going to awaken as a fae like Katie did. And they were incredibly happy to get rid of Katie’s father, who has the blood of the Reaper in him without any fae blood at all.

But it didn’t end up being so simple for Katie, and she’s only now finally managed to make it out of Fae.

Now she and the others can make their way towards the Grand Werewolf Empire to meet with her brother’s adoptive mother.

“Welcome back, sweetheart,” Katie’s mother says with a smile, making Katie smile back in return. Since she still isn’t used to seeing her mother smile so often.

Even though it’s been a while since her mother’s memories were returned by the fae.

“It’s good to be back,” Katie says, her smile growing wider by the second as she hugs her mother, followed by her father and her fiancé after him.

Then something happens on the livestream that makes her and the others all freeze.

Wolf is sent to the first fifth of the Third Centurion Quinzel.

And it’s a dangerous one as he is teleported into a single small room with a single pitch black chest at the center of the room. With his one objective during this fifth being to open the chest and survive.

“Shit…” Katie mutters, to which her family all nod their heads in agreement with. “I hope his luck didn’t get burnt out by that last mini boss chest…”

Everyone in the bridge of their ship watches as Wolf glares at the pitch black chest. Meanwhile his daughter just casually enters his shadow, seemingly leaving everything up to him. Then they watch him walk up towards the gamble chest – as many people in the universe call them.

The Pandora’s Box.

“At least this fifth shouldn’t take long,” Katie mutters, trying to find something to take her mind off of the danger her brother is in.

No one says anything in response.

Nearly every single Pandora’s Box he has opened so far has been either a monster or an immortal animal. I just hope he ends up with the latter again this time instead of some powerful monster that’s even stronger than the devourer.

A tense silence fills the bridge as the four all watch Wolf frown at the chest with his arms crossed. And after an entire two minutes pass, Wolf finally lets out a sigh and begins setting up one defense after another within the large room.

Then he finally moves up to the chest and touches it through his elemental shifted form before rushing backwards.

But what happens upon his touching the chest actually shocks everyone within the bridge, and no doubt everyone watching the livestream in general.

Because instead of a monster spawning or an immortal animal appearing, a knowledge crystal appears above the chest. With a description above it that shocks everyone even more than the lack of any monsters or immortal animals.
