Omni-Mastery

{Oh, pardon me. It's just that most of those who chance upon situations like this are a bit more excited or surprised, but you seem more like the calm and analyzing type, you don't seem relaxed enough for this being your third time… I'm starting to like you!}

'...'

Though the charismatic yet silly voice seemed to be as young as the stoic voice that I heard when I opened the mental package of 'Cultivation Practice', he seemed to be more eccentric than even the old men who left the 'Icy Fire Formula'. However, I didn't really care about that as much as I did about the fact that he left a true mental imprint on his legacy. After all, that meant…

'I could finally obtain information about the ancient era!'

"In that case, senior, do you know about-"

{Oops, I will have to stop you there, you seem like you have a lot of deep questions to ask, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to answer them.}

"Can I ask why that is the case?"

{I can tell that you probably want to ask about the old era, which even I know nothing of. While I have the ability to converse like a true mental imprint, I'm only a pseudo one. The memory I have is only the information that the original 'me' have inputted which is quite limited to the imprint's constraints, most of it is related to the legacy and this space…}

'Talk about being a disappointment…'

While I wasn't sure if knowing about the history of the ancient era would really help me in my venture of trying to stop the demons so I could spend the rest of my gameplay time in peace, I was seriously interested in hearing about it even as a simple story, but it seemed like all of the ancient powerhouse didn't want to answer this poor bookworm's wish…

{Hey, hey, there is no need to be so disappointed, the mood of this place is already as depressing as it can be. Why don't we talk about the legacy you would get instead? This should be enough to uplift your mood, right?}

'I guess…'

Obviously, I was more interested in how this guy managed to put his legacy in this sort of place and even more so in what kind of legacy elemental art that this guy left behind, but I still couldn't shake the disappointment of having found a box of chocolate only to find it empty.

As such, I could only try to forget the matter for now and concentrate on using this opportunity to ask the questions that this pseudo imprint could actually answer...

"So, this legacy doesn't require me to pass any trial?"

{Well, it isn't that it doesn't require any trial or have no prerequisites, but by arriving here in your right mind, you have already passed the test. It doesn't matter whatever method you used to survive your current situation, after all, I'm not as stuck up as those straight-lined people, it's enough for me that the one who receives my inheritance isn't incompetent.}

Not only did the other two legacies I received share the prerequisite of passing a 'Trial', but each of them had a condition of either fighting a great number of enemies or collecting a certain item set, which made this opportunity pretty different already, especially since it didn't even share the same 'location' as the other two.

Of course, both of the other legacies had such stringent conditions due to their role as gate-keepers to demon bases, but this legacy's intention was still vague.

"Isn't the chances of no one being to receive it too high?"

Even someone like me who had enough mental fortitude built up from years of suffering wouldn't have been able to survive if not for the help of the system, this legacy obviously had an even more stringent condition than the other two!

Not to mention the unlucky demons' targets, even the demons themselves won't be able to receive the legacy due to its selective nature…

{You could say that I wasn't in that much of a hurry for someone to receive it, however, you could also say that I had other intentions by doing so.}

"Could it be you wanted to help the unfortunate ones like me…?"

{Oh, you are so quick on the uptake! But it isn't entirely like that, saving whoever entered was never my intention. I simply left my legacy in special spaces like this because it made for the perfect selection process. I just believed that if one of the few who are 'special' enough to get on the Demons' list were to be extra special to resist their Corruption and were even more super extra special to find my legacy, then giving them my life's work even if it was just to quicken their escape from here would be more than worth it! Aren't you the living proof of that?}

'Is he a tsundere?'

I still couldn't tell the legacy's content yet, but it was already obvious that it would be a great helping hand in breaking out of this place, no matter how one looked at it, this tsundere guy placed it here as a helping hand, but he didn't want to right out admit it, his voice had already lost its charisma by the end of his small speech…

"I'm not sure if I'm actually great as you make me to be, but I would naturally appreciate the help since I'm in a bit of a rush to leave this place."

{That's the spirit! You don't need to worry, as long as you manage to practice even the basic version of my 'Two-Faced Mask' you wouldn't have to worry about staying here for long!}

"How…?"

As far as the mental imprint of this legacy knew, I shouldn't even have the basic idea about escaping this place, not to mention being able to leave in no time. Even the method that I knew about from Long would at least require two more months of searching.
