Master Of None

The fact that everyone needed rest still did not cause the celebration to end early. However, it did weigh on some people and help them make the right choice to make it to bed earlier. Walker was able to follow this along with most of the others in his party.

Gil was the only one that had not been able to escape no matter what. Alma continued to introduce him to prominent figures within the elven communities. It would have been a good thing if he had been more prepared for it. Unfortunately, Gil found himself overwhelmed with too much information. By the time the morning came around, he was a mess of thoughts about the future and how he would be helping bring the elves together.

"Why is it that you look more tired than when we got back from the demon lands? I thought that you would have burned off all your energy." Walker had to tease Gil. it was just too easy to miss.

"Says the person who went and spoke with a dragon that seems to hate the whole unity rating. Why don't you look tired?" This was all Gil could come up with. Although, he did truly wonder why Walker was so bright eyed in the morning.

"Oh, I gained another skill the other day. We have been awake for so long that it just popped up." Walker listed off the skill as he reread it from the system.

'Insomniac- passive

The user is prone to skipping sleep and basic rest. Due to this, their body has been trained to conserve more energy. They are able to remain functional mentally and physically for longer than average. This skill is a passive skill that any species can learn depending on the time they force themselves to remain awake and functional. It can take a great amount of personal will to gain this skill for certain races that naturally remain awake without rest.'

"How have I not gotten that skill! This is robbery. Unfair world systems!" Gil felt betrayed. He had been through the same things and not been lucky enough as Walker.

"I asked Su and Alice, they both have it. Remey doesn't though. I think it's different from person to person." This stunned Gil even more. He knew very well that Remey stayed awake for days on end in the alchemy lab.

"By the way, I plan to head to the mage tower. I think Mordant has dragged Rise there to see the light elemental floor. It is a good start." Walker had been resting long enough. He had to face Rise properly and bring her through the city. He could not rely on the other royal dragons to take this burden.

"Oh, that's good. Su went out earlier today to meet with the dragonkin warriors that Mordant had brought back with him. Apparently, they were more excited to see the city than any of the others that had come." Gil had heard enough from Walker to know that the light elemental dragonkin were going to be unique compared to the other dragonkin warriors.

"Then I really need to get going. If Rise sees her dragonkin breaking the usual rules she sets…" Walker could only imagine how angry she would be. That was when he recalled she had brought other light elemental dragons with her. "I also need to check on the light dragon that came with her. They should be out of sort…"

"They are in our backyard. Apparently they have not been allowed to rest on the ground in a few years. Flying and even sleeping in the sky to be closer to the light. I think we may have just started some sort of lazy dragon revolution." Walker looked out the window after Gil interrupted him and saw the lazing light dragons.

"Huh, well, I guess I don't have to worry then." This was a surprising change but it made a lot of sense. The light dragons had always been under some form of pressure. Now they were able to relax a lot more than they used to be able to. It was like the first vacation anyone ever had from a job.

"I will be out and about later. I need to bring the dark, stone, and light elves to the mage tower for Alma. She is setting up official representatives that will work on each living area of the elves. They are going to mirror it in the way that the ancient library was set up. She liked the way the elemental manas flowed so she wanted to follow that."

Walker pondered this for a moment while grabbing a piece of bread to snack on, "That's a good idea. Having a place like that for mages and elves to follow the natural flow of mana is good. That means we might have more natural mana mages show up. Potentially sages. That means when we research the outside affinities we might be able to learn something too." Walker felt that this was a very good development. They had already learned something from the ancient library.

"I will see you later." Gil waved to Walker as he left. Walker knew he would see Gil again later. While Walker headed out the door, the light elemental dragons stiffened while looking at him. They were not sure what would happen. Current had told them to come here and do what they wanted. Now they worried that they would be in some form of trouble.

"You are all allowed to rest here or enjoy Genesis. Just remember your size is hard to manage unless you can take your dragonkin form. If you need anything, feel free to ask my family for help if you can speak the basic languages other than dragon tongue. Otherwise, welcome to Genesis. Follow our laws and you will have no problems. Everyone is welcome here."

There was an interesting glint in the light dragon's eyes. They had not had such freedom before and instantly wanted to see what they could do with it. Walker wondered if it was better to have left them being lazy or telling them this.

The city was surprisingly busy after the elven celebration. It seemed that the celebration had brought a lot of chatter. Many merchants were around gossiping and trading ideas. This meant that they were preparing to begin their sales of elven goods. A possible bright future for their businesses.

What was more surprising were the demons that were out. Some were clearly afraid to wander around. However, those demons were with the demons rescued earlier or that had been forced in to Pride's army. Those demons had already adapted much more to Genesis. That made them the best people to guide the newer citizens.

One such group even stopped to say hello to Walker after recognizing him. Without much of a blink of an eye, Walker felt that he had the energy to do a million more tasks. He had seen right before his eyes smiles of hope on faces that had been creased by worry lines for far too long.

The mage tower had become busy yet again. The elemental spirits were more free around it since they had been drawn to it. This meant that there was going to be more research and focus on it even though many of the researchers had gone to the ancient library in the demon city.

"Here at last? Mordant has been stuck on the light elemental floor for a few hours. He might have gone mad up there." Current found Walker instantly. It seemed that he had been enjoying the atmosphere around the tower. Inquiring about the runes and learning great deals of information.

"I had to get a little rest. I am not as long lived as all the dragons. I am still somewhat human." Walker laughed while Current moved with him inside the tower. It was not surprising to see that some of the dwarves and dragonkin warriors were here.

"I meant to mention, I dropped off a hatchling to your champion today. They are a mud dragon. Water and earth. Strange I know, but they needed a better home than where they would be. I could only offer them a swamp home. Nothing worth living in." Current spoke casually as if this was an every day thing.

"Then we will welcome them gladly. Hopefully we can find a place where their skills are the best fit. Not that I doubt that. Mud usually doesn't sound good but with the merfolk and water elves around they should have a great place to love."

"My thoughts exactly. They can become a very good protector of those homes. I saw this and knew immediately." Current looked like he was creating a very fond memory of this moment. One that told Walker Current had fully invested in Genesis as well. "Now. let's see how our elder Rise is doing." The light elemental floor was waiting for them.
