Odyssey of the Blind God

Once the guards called the head secretary, it was only a matter of minutes before Nial was led inside the building.

A bunny-eared Demihuman came over to bring him to the Grand Elder. In the meantime, Nial got to know that the old mouse Demihuman was given the title Grand Elder because of the achievements he attained, and the innovations he made for the Demihumans.

Apparently, he was already over ten thousand years old and was one of the Demihumans responsible for the innovation of space traveling via spaceships, and rockets. Hearing this increased Nial's interest in the Grand Elder because it was very likely that the Grand Elder was in possession of knowledge that only a few Demihumans possessed.

'Is my luck returning to me, or is all of that just a farce?' He wondered. But instead of seeing things too negatively, Nial chose to tell himself that his luck was finally returning and that his luck had been accumulated inside the isolated stellar system. It was better to stay positive and think of everything as an opportunity, rather than perceiving it as a waste of time, or something that he didn't need.

He may actually see and learn things that he would have never gotten to know if not for his encounter with the Spectran and by being thrown into the unknown.

Nial followed the bunny-eared Demihuman inside the elevator that brought them to the second-highest floor. After that, she led him to the room at the end of the floor before opening the large metal door for him.

Nial was told to go inside while the bunny-eared Demihuman stayed behind.
"You found your way to me pretty fast," The Grand Elder said calmly while staring out of the window. The skyscraper was more than 500 meters high, which created a great view upon looking outside as the two suns of the stellar system rose over the horizon.

In fact, the stellar system was a solar system because of the two burning stars. Of course, Nial couldn't be bothered about something as negligible as that. It was more important to find a way back home, where everyone he cared about could be found!

"I was looking for you the moment they allowed me to leave. If not for your security, I would have reached you even faster," Nial said, not mentioning that he had thought about beating the shit out of the guards before barging inside the building.

"I heard," The Grand Elder said, still extremely calm and composed as he retrieved something from the storage device he used, "Inside the pouch, you will find the Quantum Bracelet with which you can register a temporary account to access the Deminet, a network with which you can connect to everyone in our territory. You have to use the identification card we've prepared for you in order to access the Deminet, but that will hardly be a problem. It doesn't need much wit to use the Deminet.

Just try not to lose the identification card, otherwise, we will have a bunch of problems."

Nial accepted the pouch and he retrieved a highly-technology advanced bracelet out of it. Nial perceived it in great detail and he could immediately tell that neither he nor anyone he knew was capable of replicating a device such as the Quantum Bracelet. He could hardly understand the concept of the Quantum Bracelet…and they actually had something 'similar' to that in the Origin Human Shelters on Jundra.

The internet they had in the Origin Human Shelter was, quite obviously, much inferior to the network system the Demihumans created. The Quantum Bracelets were also hundreds of times more complex and better than anything Nial had ever gotten his hands on in the Human Shelters.

Other than the Quantum Bracelet and the identification card, there was not much to find. In fact, everything Nial required was stored inside the Quantum Bracelet.

"Because I don't know what you're going to do, I gave you a few Demi-Coins in your balance to buy some food and rent a hotel room for a few days. Your map of the known Universe was also upgraded to the latest version. If you take a look at it right now, I can explain to you a few things that may or may not be helpful to you!" The Grand Elder proposed which Nial accepted readily.

"Your help is very helpful. I don't know what I would have done without your help!" Nial said thankfully before he started to create his account on the Quantum Bracelet.

The Grand Elder turned around to look at Nial for a few seconds before he smiled lightly.

"I am pretty sure that you are not helpless. You would have found a solution on your own. I'm just helping you to make sure that you can achieve your goals faster, without any unnecessary bloodshed and casualties. The Elite Space Guards were already fortunate that you didn't think of killing them from the beginning, otherwise, we would have to hold dozens of funerals and tell their family that we weren't able to properly take care of their men and women.

Helping you out a little bit makes things easier, by a lot at that!" The Grand Elder explained.

Nial just nodded, ignoring the formality he wanted to use by expressing his gratefulness. He was actually grateful for the help he received but he was not as helpless as his words earlier suggested.

He would have found a way out of this misery all by himself, no matter what needed to be done and how long it would take.

Nial was quite confident in his capabilities and the unique bits of knowledge he possessed.

Once he finished creating his account, the final configurations on the Quantum Bracelet were completed easily. It didn't even take ten minutes before he sat down on the comfortable couch, taking a good look at the map of the known Universe.


Visualizing everything clearly, Nial imprinted the Map into his mind. He analyzed the map and tilted his head left and right to take a good look at the situation.

However, something bothered Nial the longer he looked at the map.

"Is that really all to the known Universe?"
