Master Of None



"It was fairly quick calling everyone together. Walker went to the Genesis meeting room within the Genesis building. He was glad that the large meeting room was empty and that there were not any representatives there just yet. It was ideal for him to have a full party meeting. 

Onyx arrived with a few abyssal serpents and heavenly serpents in tow. They were clearly the youngest and had started to follow him as he showed them a thing or two. But they were not too young to know when they needed to wait at the side. 

It was very adorable seeing the little serpents finding a place to curl up and nap while waiting for the leader and older brother. Onyx also looked very jovial since he had gone to see all the serpents. Walker would gladly pick his mind for what was going on later, but they had a little more to go over. Not that he didn't expect everyone to share the new developments when they started talking. It was to be expected. 

Su arrived with Alice, both of them were clearly coming from some form of training. What Walker hadn't realized was he had actually been the only one at the mansion when he woke up. Everyone had either ended up staying somewhere else, training, or had been swept up in to a million different things. That was just the life they had led. 

"I figured we would meet before a really large meeting. I told the elves that I would do a full demonstration of the high elf dagger technique after. I was even challenged by a few elves since they wanted to test it." Gil laughed a little but it was easy to see a slight nervousness that came with this big event. It was very important to the elves. 

"If you have a demonstration like that, you might as well head to the coliseum. I know they are still building it, but they have enough space for you to accommodate everyone. Walker was more joking but knew it was actually a better idea. There would be many people interested in seeing this. 

The elves had wanted the high elf techniques to return for many generations. Their records even had a rare instances where someone had somewhat managed to grasp the high elven techniques. But they had never reassembled a high elven technique to the point that it could be taught and remerged fully.

"Oh, we can do that. If Scylla agrees not to come and challenge anyone to a fight, we will be fine." Gil knew that Scylla practically lived near the coliseum being built. It was moving so quickly because the demi-human part of Genesis had heavily invested in it being built. 

To the demi-humans, the coliseum would be their place within Genesis. It would also be the ideal place for them to train and show off the core values that the demi-humans possessed. Therefore, when it was completed, there would be a large tournament held with many promising youths coming from every place to fight one another and gain rewards. 

"I really expected that we would have more people coming to join the meeting. But Ignus is waiting outside too." Su was very surprised seeing that Ignus had stepped away. But she also focused on Remey who she knew had been spending increasing amounts of time with Ignus as they studied fire and how to make it closer to certain other aspects of mana. 

"Mordant might pop up. I just have a feeling." Walker was somewhat joking, but he knew that Mordant might arrive at any time to speak with the group. 

"Should we talk about the world sub quests or the corrupted monsters first? Or should we hold off on those and just brag about how amazing the alchemy guild is?" 

There was some arrogance when Remey spoke, but she was clear. She knew that all the guilds had grown immensely when the party was gone. But even more so, that they had taken large steps in building Genesis as a whole. The entire city was more than what it had been and was heading towards the greatest city built to their knowledge. 

"The alchemy guild can come first then. I know you went to meet with your old master alchemist and the elves that were put in charge when things shifted to exploration." Gil poked at Remey a little since he knew that she would jump in anyways. 

"Well, we have some good quests showing up. Three master alchemists and our elven side of management went to explore for unique herbs that would allow for certain rune formations and potions to work together. That was very important to the sub quests to bring back natural alchemy. The same alchemy that we saw within the echidna jungles." 

This statement was not small in any way. The fact that the echidna method was being pushed but the world in quotes mattered a lot. "We have started to research the natural alchemy along with pure alchemy methods. I am studying one myself. But that doesn't matter. For now, the alchemy guild will be using the teleportation rune formation a lot. We need to connect with the Sigil continent and begin using herbs and potions we didn't have access to. Growth is a guarantee." 

"I see, so you will be transporting herbs and potentially building a branch of the alchemy guild in the Sigil continent already." Su's opinion was that this was moving fast. However, she understood that it was imperative to people's lives to do so. The potions and herbs that came to exist because of the speedy movement of these guilds would allow many to live in the upcoming battles. 

"That brings the cathedral up too. We are also sending healers to meet with angels to share healing methods. We also want life mages to visit us. We will work side by side with the alchemy guild." Alice spoke with a lot of confidence. She had gladly accepted this proposal when she returned. 

Many things had happened with the cathedral when it came to their return, but many things had changed in the world as a whole. "The cathedral here also separated from the normal cathedral that the northernmost city has as the original. The cathedral is now the faith of the world, but Genesis has created its own branch. It's called the united world's will." 

Changing in faith was normal, especially when peoples came together,. But the fact that Alice was so clear with it meant that the pope in the northern most cathedral had clearly disliked the genesis growth in power. But that didn't matter. 

"Good, a new birth for the cathedral is what was needed. Now Genesis can ensure healing and open faith to everyone better." Walker saw this as an ideal way to avoid any matters with potential corruption from the cathedrals in far off cities that barely bothered with the rest of the world. 

"Agreed." Onyx and Su spoke together. They both thought this to be perfect. They had more opinions since they spent a lot of time in the cathedral. 

"The abyssal and heavenly serpents growing and living in the cathedrals have also gotten better. Some are able to use light healing magic and others have taken jobs with the guards. It didn't expect this to happen. But it is what they wish to do. It brings be a lot of pride." 

When Onyx shared this, everyone smiled. The abyssal serpents joining the guards was making them a solid place in Genesis. The heavenly serpents learning healing magic also made it clear that they would stand as a race that could help all. When they grew more it was a certainty that they would be recognized as a race fully. 

"I also noticed that the merfolk and the goblins are working together. Did you know that there was a tribe of water goblins?" Su spoke up after noticing this earlier in the day. It was good news. 

"That's great! More races coming together and the goblins are able to grow a lot more. I heard there is an entire guard battalion made of goblin spider riders. It's even better!" Walker knew this was the beginning when they left and that it was a surety that there was growth. 

"But we should also talk about the monsters outside the walls. Things are rough out there for the normal monsters and the travelers meeting the corrupted monsters." Gil was not willing to bring this up but felt he had no choice. He knew many people that went out hunting. He had already seen some dangerous things. 

"I wanted to avoid this before the main meeting. But we have no choice now." Walker took a moment to breathe before sighting and accepting that this was going to come up between them first.
