Chapter 9: Ram


    After,


    Ash arrived at nexus city, he started to relax after he went to city altar, and meet with evan and ask him how is it the progress? and evan said good after that ash try to see his status window and he can see it easily pop- up window started to come ....


    ....


    Name: Evan (altar subject)


    age: 18


    status: healthy


    abilities: non


    level: 0 (9/100 mana mist level 0)


    weapon: low grade sword, low grade axe, low- grade shield


    Ash i can see status of my subject and he started thinking ,it is hidden features of altar , may be it is hidden because it will created lot of chaos in the heart of subject ,so this is not common knowledge about this or evan not told me about this but i hope my first guess is right and most altar owner hide this knowledge and ash can see ,why altar owner do this and ash is also not planning to tell this about anyone ,it will help determine the loyalty of the subject .


    Ash said absorb the mana mist and adapt with your new gain strength and i will wait for newcomer and there is a lot of time before attack of monsters, evan nodded after ash started to see time available time before attack and he see....


    ...


    Time left before attack: 6 hours


    ash think half a time is spend before attack is really make me feel I am so slow but I am giving my all in this world i hope to find something in another trip that make my life easier and let my territory grow strong and let me first spend time to relax before attack after all I have to give my best defend my territory and before that I have to make some spike pit to defend a territory but first I have to relax first .


    After 1 hours,


    ash started to walk towards altar and he then see pop up window of attack ....


    ...


    Time left before attack: 5 hours


    And, he arrived near the altar and he went to call the evan and he said to evan loudly and clear evan come out and absorb mana mist later.


    We have to make new spike pit and repair the old spike and so get up my friends to work after all we have to defend city all we got, evan started to come out from altar he said to ash let''s go my lord we need to do our best.


    ash nodded and both go out of the city and go where monster will attack and here, they see many woods are broken and they have replace it and ash think they are in luck because monster will only attack the same golden barrier where they attack yesterday so they can expand spike pit and replace the broken woods easily and they will able to do some extra to increase sharpness of wood spike and create more fatal trap for upcoming monster.

    ash and evan started to work on expansion and upgradation of pit spike trap quickly and timely manner.


    After 4 hours,


    they completed all the work of upgradation of pit spike and they started to relax slowly and started to see if there are any error in their work and it need more perfection after 15 mins check of everything and not find any problem so ash ask to evan , should we head towards the city ?


    and he said “yes” my lord, we should head towards the territory and relax and when they started to come to city gate from a far they see one person is standing in front of door of city gate and his cloth are dirty and blood in his shoulder and face and stomach is almost badly injured and his injury are everywhere in the body.


    And as if he can die anytime but he is standing in front of them and any other person have this kind of injury he would probably die. ash is thinking and he is seeing if I have half of this injury I would die a long time ago so they understand one think very much that this person is very strong and very high level so ash and evan are also nervous because they are not under golden barrier outside of golden barrier so they not have any protection against this person .


    evan told ash, in some high level people control territory owner with their will and territory owner cannot do a thing because they poison him or use some ability to control him or his life or their family ‘s life .


    So,


    Ash started to go in the city gate in front of that injured man confidently and evan also follow confidently without any fear and ash not say anything to evan about coming confidently in front of injured man but ash know evan is smart person, he likely understand that person is very strong and he can listen our talk so both of us going confidently in front of him and that will not make that person react violently after all he does not know ash is city owner .


    After both ash and evan enter a golden barrier, then ash started to ask question to the injured man, ash said to injured man " who are you? and why are you here? and then injured man told his name is Ram and he is at level 3 and he is knight.


    he is injured because he is defending a city altar of level 3 and city altar is destroyed and he fled from the city and after a long time he sees this city and come to rest here for some times and after that he will go to the other city, for that he will give him one present to ash and help in defending his city altar.


    And ash ask why should I belief you that you are not lie to me and not try to kill me in the city or harm me in any other way, injured man i can take a mana oath with you if you want and it is most binding oath if you not follow your oath you cannot progress in mana mist absorption and the level will be stagnant after sometime.


    The level will drop because you cannot absorb mana mist and mana mist is necessary to full filled mana required on that level of person, bigger the level of person the more mana mist he has to consume otherwise his level will drop the level.


    After thinking 5 min ash decide to make him citizen of city because of his level and mana oath he will take before going to enter in a city.


    After that injured person say I ram take oath on mana that i will not attack or use any means that is harmful to this city and his owner and and his citizen and I defend this city when i live in this city.


    And ash started to see his status window pop up window comes ....


    .....


    Name: Ram (altar subject)


    Age:  ?


    status: injured


    abilities:   ?


    level : ?


    ash see a pop- up window ...


    ....


    level not enough to see every detail of the subject.


    And Ash also takes oath in front of ram and say I ash take oath of mana that i will not attack ram or harm him in any other way provided that he will not attack my city or try to harm me or my subject.


    Ram started to see him as if he is joking but he thinks oath on mana must comply otherwise this altar is doomed but he thinks this altar owner is not a dumb so he takes his word seriously and ram enter the city without any hindrance.


    Ram ask a permission from ash to enter altar for mana absorption and ash gives his permission.


    so,


    Ram goes toward the altar and started taking mana mist in his body quickly without any problem


    Ash sees his monster attack window and pop- up window comes ...
