Master Of None

There were many more questions that came to mind while they sat. Su and Alma had come to the conclusion that they needed to leave Walker alone. He was too distracted and if they continued to ask and prod, he would not make progress. The night was also fading away and so was their time to sleep. 

While the two girls were sleeping, Walker was using his ability to manipulate the natural mana in the metal tablet. The runes were very hard to push magic through making Walker stressed. He could feel the sweat dripping down his cheek even though it was cool at night. 

The flow of mana that Walker was focused on had been strong enough to wake Fleur. She had come out and begun to trace the rune patterns. It was like she was in a trance. Walker could only feel that she was much closer related to these perfect runes than he knew. Especially since learning everything here would allow someone to become the next go of secrets. 

The system users that were known as gods were exceedingly rare. But they did exist. Those that were able to gain that system because of their system upgrading or just born with them would go to change that aspect of the world. Many knew the mood goddess or some forging gods. But a god of secrets was a new one by Walker. 

The last god that had a rumor around the city had been one that was able to use earth magic. This was a god that went of to apparently make a hidden bridge across the ocean. It was mostly told as a fairytale for children. However, there were some people that believed it to be real. Not that Walker was looking at an item that was literally made to help someone upgrade their system through hard work to become the god of secrets system user, he believed that this bridge and god of earth magic existed.

The real question would be, was this worth giving to someone. If a god system user was to show up, then they would change the world. This god of secrets could change the world for good or for worse. As a hero, Walker needed to make sure that this new god would not be out there to cause evil and trouble. It was a very risky occurrence now that Genesis was growing. 

There was part of him that felt it was wrong to hide this tablet away. If he didn't bring it to the person destined to become the new god of secrets then he would be ruining their future. There was a chance that this god of secrets user would be able to unveil the truth behind some things. It also raised the question of whether the world needed such a god right now. Especially since they were dealing with Greed who needed to be sealed. 

Walker couldn't focus on this theory for long though, he needed to worry about the fact that he had a tablet with a magic he needed to learn. Fleure had been tracing the runes on the metal tablet and the ones she touched seemed to glow a little brighter as the natural mana Walker provided moved through them. They seemed to be changing the face of the tablet and Walker could nearly read words on it now. There was one thing that was for sure, he wasn't going to be learning some small sealing magic. The magic he was feeling and understanding, was natural magic. 

Because Walker and Fleur were binded in a way that most would never be bound, he knew that she was feeling excited and driven. This was the same as when they had been in the swamp lands and Fleur had wanted to get rid of the decay. She was driven by an instinct, a part of who she was. Walker understood this well and went with the flow. He was using more and more of his mana to pull natural mana toward them. 

The mana became dense and some of the seeds that Alma had begun to sprout slowly in her pocket. This was what made her wake up and toss them aside. Yet, her attention was grabbed by what Walker and Fleur were doing. The glow from the tablet had outshined the small fire they made from logs that Walker pulled from his storage. 

The earth spirit from Su's shield was also out and watching this happen. The earth spirit had been burying itself in the sand to be comfortable and now watched. It was able to use some of the natural magic to a degree, especially since the last time it met Fleur it was able to grow larger and become a higher earth spirit. Walker did know that it was in the verge of becoming the next level of earth spirit. Unfortunately, he wasn't sure what that would mean since a grand spirit of any elemental was normally a single spirit that was named like Zephyr.

This was just another thing that Walker would need to think about and get more information on. He would use his all around appraisal on the earth spirit partnered with Su at another time. Now he needed to focus on the information he was now feeling flow through the natural mana. 

The feeling was profound. It was as if the world itself was trying to whisper in his ear. Or maybe it was a voice that Fleur had and Walker was now understanding. By any means, this was causing his heart to beat faster and him to struggle more. The information was on the runes and how they could be made in to a balanced rune. The perfect runes were very strict. Walker knew that it needed absolute concentration to make. 

The natural rune that was being burned in to his mind was the same. It demanded utmost respect and care so that it could be created. Although, this natural rune created a loop. It would pull mana in to it then force it away. This was why it was a sealing rune. This sealing art could force whatever was sealed to remain that way as long as natural mana was around. It was even more effective because it would use the natural mana in the being sealed to help it remain intact. The rune still took shape in Walker's mind. So clearly that he wanted to appraise it and then draw everything it was.
