Chapter 388 - Ranking Up
After killing the Mutated Chimera Wolf, Theo continued leveling up to make sure he ranks up as soon as possible.
However, Theo stopped on the last day of his training, with only two monsters away from reaching the maximum EXP points to rank up.
"Clone." Theo looked at his clone and grabbed everything he had, including the spear and the luggage. He was already close to Ark City, so there wasn't any more danger on his path.
And receiving inheritance outside was extremely dangerous, especially if he didn't have anyone to protect him. Hence, Theo had another plan for this rank-up.
He returned to Ark City with all his luggage and headed straight to a hotel that seemed to be fairly popular according to the information on Skynet.
It was a fifteen-story building. There was a huge sign saying "Ratata" on the highest floor and above the entrance. This was the hotel he and Agata agreed to meet before meeting Alea.
He wasted no time and entered the building, finding the lavish decoration with gold plating, red carpet, and a huge chandelier on the ceiling on top of the receptionist desk.
On the right side were several sofas used for waiting, while on his right side was a dining room. He had no time admiring them and quickly made his way to the receptionist.
The receptionist put on a smile and waved her red hair to the back. She politely said, "Welcome to Ratata Hotel. May I help you?"
"A single room for two days," Theo replied.
The receptionist didn't know Theo's real identity because he put his mask on to avoid unnecessary attention. And it was clearly working as the receptionist thought this was a regular occurrence.
She nodded and typed a few things on her keyboard before asking, "I need your ID Card."
Handing his Illusionist ID Card, Theo began to look around, wondering if anyone had stayed in this hotel.
Theo was planning to stay the last two days in this hotel for two reasons. First, he simply wanted to learn all the information regarding his group, the dragon, and Agata's fighting style. He knew that he wouldn't be the leader of this expedition and it wasn't like others would voluntarily agree to his command.
The most he could do was advise the group leader, Alea. And he believed Alea would take his advice seriously. He didn't mind because he had no experience in commanding a huge group.
As for the group, he only knew there would be ten Magicians, two Scouts, five Knights, five Fighter, two Enchanters, and three Healers. The rest would be him, Alea, and Agata. He needed to understand what they could do in an emergency here.
The other reason was due to rank up. He had been blessed by many things every time he ranked up, so he needed time to adjust himself with the new skill he would get.
After processing his data, the receptionist gave him the key to his room.
Theo hurriedly went to his room since his clone had killed the first monster and encountered the second monster.
As soon as he entered the room, he made a quick check on the decoration.
He was greeted by a couch and a screen to watch movies in the living room. There were two doors on his right leading to the bedroom and bathroom.
Because he needed to rank up, Theo simply put down his luggage and reached his bedroom.
He sat on top of the brown quilt and crossed his legs, shifting his focus to his clone.
…
In another place, Clone Theo had finished fighting the last two monsters he required to fill up his EXP Points.

Normally, Theo was supposed to have a headache soon because he needed to meet God of Mischief, but there was no reaction this time since it was his clone.
"I have finally finished." Theo smiled and disappeared.
Meanwhile, the real Theo was sitting inside a room. The pain was indeed attacking his head, but Theo was already prepared for it and closed his eyes as soon as possible.
In that instant, Theo's consciousness went to the same scenery as his previous meeting: the green field surrounded by mountains and hills.
A serpent whose body was a tenth of a mountain, but with a tail that had yet to be seen, appeared on the mountain peak and crawled down the slope.
A wolf that had taught him the power of Control also appeared on top of the mountain and climbed down. However, what shocked him the most was the man with short black hair sitting on top of the wolf's head. The man had a white shirt and long black pants, covered by an unbuttoned long dark robe.
He was crossing his legs and using it to support his hand as he rested his head on top of his hand, looking at Theo with a smile that somehow made him shiver.
Theo subconsciously took a step back because it felt very different from the first time they met. Back then, he used Alea's body and voice to talk to him, giving no sense of danger. Meanwhile, this one seemed to be his real appearance.
'So, this is the God of Mischief, Loki… The one who gave me the blessing.' Theo thought while gulping down, staring at this human figure that made his heart race. Now that he had practiced a bit of Awareness, his instinct told him not to let his guard down in front of this man.
As if understanding what Theo had in mind, the man smiled. Fenrir came to his front, standing proudly while looking down on Theo, but the man simply tapped his head once and the proud Fenrir lowered his head and body, so the man could jump off his head and land gently on the ground.
"It seems my appearance startles you a little bit. Though, I wonder if you believe this is my real appearance…" He smiled and said before changing his appearance back to Alea… "Maybe this one is my real appearance."
