3912 Ranis Card

Step!

I stepped on the disk, and a second later, I disappeared. Appearing under the night sky, a few seconds later.

It had been five and a half months since I applied for the mission.

I was selected in two and half months before I began to study the memory of Rehi Knell or Ranis Card; the name he used when he infiltrated the organization.

It took me three months.

He had used the method to record his memories. There are decades of memories, over thirty years to be exact.

I wouldn't have been able to manage it without my clone.

Now, I know everything about Ranis Card. I had even copied the way he speaks, walks, and fights.

I even know his ticks and peeves.

Through these memories, I know, who his friends and colleagues and other member of the organizations are. His hobbies, which are fighting and drinking and profession, he didn't have any.

He tried his hands at forging, but gave up.

The organization had sorted through all the memories and compiled them into the data, I need to know.

I had asked for memories, all of them. Small, big, and all, which had been wise.

While the organization had a great, job compiling important data. They had missed a lot of things. It was a good thing; I had asked for the copies.

My clone had looked through; it was still focused on them. Looking at every little thing.

I don't want to mess it up. If I get caught, especially in the fortress; I will die.

They have defenses that could kill even Prime, in that fortress. An Earth Sovereign like me would die, rather easily, if they shed any of that on me.

I pushed those thoughts and took a deep breath.

The name of the organization is Arvos. At its peak, it had reached the Silver Prime, but slowly it had declined to the level, that it had become Sky Grade.

Our intelligence, suspect, there might be one Prime, but they are not sure.

I would need one to one and half months to reach the organization. I would need to create a trail.

However, it does not need to be too obvious.

Card has been out of the organization for a year and a half. It is a long time, but not rare, considering I have been stuck in the realm with no way out.

Such things are quite common.

The organization had prepared the proofs, including the realm. They had sent a person inside a real ruin, wearing a Ranis Card's face.

They had done that right after they realized, their operative couldn't continue anymore.

Now, Ranis Card is returning to the organization, and he isn't at Peak Earth-Sovereign anymore, but an Initial Sky Sovereign.

He had found a chance and made a breakthrough that had been dreaming about for over a decade.

I looked around before started flying.

I am in a quite desolate area; the clothes city is two and a half days away. I will need to travel that entire distance before taking the teleportation gates.

Which is fine by me; these five months had been quite hectic.

If I had been working on the aspects related to the mission, I would be working on my inheritance or practicing.

It is around nine in the night, but I am going to stop for the night. Ranis Card sleeps only once in two days and I practicing that habit for months and I am not going to break it.

The sleeping day is tomorrow. Today, I will travel.

Cryyyy…

A few minutes passed, and the monster was discovered. It is big and is yellow with razor-sharp wings.

I didn't stop as it came toward me.

The monster is powerful. A mid Sky-Sovereign; it is likely why; it is thinking, it could beat it.

Ripppp!

Three seconds later, it was divided into two. Even with Ranis's strength, it was not my match.

I stored the corpse in my storage before moving ahead.

Yes, I stored it in my storage, not in my core. Only a few seconds later, did I move it into my core.

I have been practicing for months, but I need to make it an unconscious movement. It is why I am putting and taking it out of my storage and not a core.

Hours passed, and it was midnight.

It is quite beautiful, nothing but trees and monsters. I released my soul waves, as long as I could and only sensed one Earth Sovereign.

He had found something and explored it.

I looked at him for a minute, till he disappeared from my range. I am curious about the thing, I had found, but not curious enough to stop.

I will not be stopping for anything until I reach the organization.

I am quite excited, to be honest. I had never done something like this before and it was a kind of exciting for me. Especially given the danger.

I am also curious about those changes.

For months, I have been studying them constantly, and I have a kind of become obsessed with them.

They have helped me a lot in understanding many things, I haven't understood before, but presented even more questions.

I want to find the answer to the questions I have, and I believe I will in the organization. It is the source of all the questions and will also be the source of the answers.

Hun!

Soon, it was near dawn, when I sensed something and slowed down before covering myself with stealth.

There are two powerful monsters fighting, and both of them are at the peak of the Sky Sovereign stage.

I could deal with them, but Ranis Card cannot, and since I am Ranis Card. I will avoid it.

That's what I did.

I moved around the battle; it had wasted a few hours, but it was safer for Ranis Card, who might sometimes fight recklessly, but not recklessly.

He is an intelligent man, who knows when to fight, and when to not.
