Chapter 77: 077 | Boss & Old Acquaintances

Lyrielle floated down to Reyansh’s eye level, reaching for his nose.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

"Just making sure that I am not seeing things," she answered as she tried to stretch his neck.

"You really are...human," she sounded almost disappointed.

"Thank you for clarifying my race to myself."

"But what kind of human has 6 Mythical talents along with a Legendary one. Then you have titles, again multiple."

"Let’s not talk about Mythical Trait that is locked at the moment. Do you have any idea how difficult it is to obtain even an Apex trait, let alone a Mythical one," she continued.

"Calling you a monster in human skin will be unfair to monsters. Even they are not this broken..."

Before she could continue her rant, Reyansh interrupted.

"Did check the information completely, I have one more system beside two normal system?" he stated.

This brought her attention back to the panel in front of her.

"Oh...oh...hmm...what the fuck?" she reacted as she read through the Cosmic Patron System.

"Are you sure a tiny creature like you should be cursing out loud?" he asked, though she understood where she was coming from.

"Why do you only have 6 then? You have hundred subscribers, even if you can’t get Mythical, I am sure you would get higher rank talents," she looked at him questioningly.

"Oh...because your core is still at rank C and there’s limit of two choices per subscribers too." She answered her question herself before Reyansh could answer.

’I get it now, the reason AAKASHA sent me to him. He is the one,’ she thought internally, she didn’t want to give out any clues to her relation with AAKASHA.

"Okay, boss, now that I have looked at all your information. I am ready to be the best manager for your channel and make your channel, the most watched channel ever," she spoke ambitiously.

"Boss, huh? And most watched channel ever, are you sure?" Reyansh asked as she floated at his eye level.

"Looking at your monstrous strength and," she glanced at panel again, "your deep pockets, it should be the least of your goals, I think."

"Also, its professionalism to respect the owner of channel I am going to manage."

"Haha...nice, let’s go. Keep yourself hidden for now," he stated as he opened the gate.

"But how am I going to talk to you? it will look weird if I’m talking to empty air," he questioned.

’Don’t worry, I can do this,’ she spoke telepathically into Reyansh’s mind.

’I thought your race was immune to mental interference,’ he replied mentally.

’We are, you still can’t snoop around my brain. This is a telepathic link between channel owner and its manager.’

’Convenient,’ he stated.

’That’s my middle name, boss. From now you can focus solely on your Hunt, I will manage your channel,’ she reassured.

Reyansh nodded as he walked out of the house thinking something Lyrielle said, ’Most watched channel ever, not a bad idea.’

He sat in the back of the car as Amit started driving.

"Take me to the Hunter’s Council," he stated.

"Yes, sir," he nodded as the car glided on the air, moving towards the destination.

’Cool vehicle,’ Lyrielle commented.

’Yup.’

’So, what’s at Hunter’s Council?’ she questioned.

’I have to get permanent ID card before I go into dungeon today. It shouldn’t take much time,’ he answered.

’Hmm...I also want to see the how low rank dimension go on about their lives,’ she spoke as she sat his shoulder, her legs hanging in the front.

On their way, Lyrielle asked few things about Earth and how things worked here. He answered her questions, satiating her curiosity.

Around half an hour later, the Aether Ride 3.0 finally stopped in front of the Hunter’s Council building. Reyansh exited the car and told Amit to wait in the parking area.

The Hunter’s Council building was a 20-storey rectangular structure with enhanced glass from all sides, giving it an elegant yet humongous appearance.

However, Lyrielle words worked like a bucket of cold water, ’Hmm...this building is decent enough.’

Reyansh just shook his head, ignoring her remarks as he entered the building, Lyrielle sitting leisurely on his shoulder.

Just as Reyansh entered the building, Lyrielle asked, ’You have a Mythical rank mask too, aren’t you going to wear it?’

’No, I am here to get my ID card as Reyansh, also, StarWalker is one of the hottest topic in Mumbai right now. So there’s no need to make a public spectacle, especially in Council’s building.’ He explained.

As he walked to the counter, murmur of few gathered hunters reached his sharp ears.

"Did you watch the StarWalker’s stream yesterday?" a man asked.

"Yes, just as I opened, I saw him beheading a man. I jumped in my seat at that moment. That was brutal as fuck man," a woman responded.

"Do you think Council will take action against him?" another man asked.

"What action? They didn’t even dispatch any officials while he murdered that poor Guildmaster. I smell a conspiracy here," the woman retorted.

"At least don’t call him poor. That bastard exploited new hunters, after yesterday many reports are flooding in about force signing of new hunters. I think what he started was a revolution," another woman shot back.

’Are they talking about you?’ Lyrielle questioned.

’Something like that, let’s pick up the pace,’ he replied as he hurried his steps.

’Revolution, huh? Let’s how many spins people put on my act?’ he thought.

He checked the information board and went towards 14th floor for registration. As Reyansh entered the elevator, Lyrielle spoke up, ’Nice, but much slower than teleport.’

’It existed before the Merge, however its speed and stability has increased considerably.’

Reyansh left the elevator and walked towards one of the rooms for registration. ’This entire floor is for registration, that’s why there is no congregation of hunters.’

After entering the room he saw a young girl sitting behind a glass counter. "Are you here for registration?" she asked.

"Yes," he stated and gave her, his Temporary ID.

"It has been your 4th day after awakening, you will have to pay fine of 100 Cosmic coins for being late. Please give your Stream Code for verification," she explained.

"No problem," he replied, "My Stream Code is RK017SW01 L0514_091."

"Okay, please wait a moment," she responded.

’Is that all?’ Lyrielle asked. Reyansh nodded.

After a few seconds, she handed him a light Violet colored card, "This is your permanent ID card, drop your blood at the QR code." She said.

He looked at the card, there was a QR code in one side, he dropped a tiny bit of blood. Few details appeared beside the QR code, it read:

[Class: Faded Violet]

[Core Rank: C]

[Streaming: Active]

Reyansh left the room after paying the fine for being 1 day late in getting ID card. He walked towards the elevator with his ID card in hand.

’The process was very simple,’ Lyrielle remarked.

Before he could response, he sensed someone eye him from behind. He turned immediately, only to a group of three boys walking towards him.

"Oh, am I seeing it right? Reyansh Kaul as I live and breath. What happened, are you here for work too?" Aziz Mohammed taunted as he walked closer to Reyansh.

’Who are these little twerps, boss?’ Lyrielle questioned, annoyed someone interrupted their movement.

’Just old acquaintances,’ he replied as he looked straight into Aziz’s eyes.
