"You are the kindest and most merciful person in this world, Young Master!"


    Ignoring Alfred, Ryuk turned towards the door and began to approach it.


    "By the way, what is the story of this door?" Ryuk asked, moving closer. Using his soul gaze, he had seen through multipleyers of magic circles and inscriptions that seemedpletely foreign to him.


    ''Are they runes?'' While observing, his eyes, now deeper, gazed at several iprehensible letters etched on the door.


    However, their alignment led him to conclude that they formed somenguage.


    "Young Master, you can''t open that door," Alfred slowly stood from his position while dusting off his clothes. The moment he lifted his gaze after uttering those words, what awaited him was Ryuk''s frown.


    "Why?" Ryuk understood that those words were not prohibiting from opening the door but informing that it is not possible to open them.


    From that fact, it was clear that Alfred needed to work on his conversation skills.


    "After Lady Alisia left this ce, there spread a story about her secret weapons being hidden in that room which made her reach such rankings. So, several people came and tried to break through it, but no one seeded. Many imed to get some enlightenment while deciphering some code in it."


    Hearing Alfred''s exnation, Ryuk at least came to the conclusion that this room must contain his mother''s personal belongings.


    The fact that it was sealed so securely inside such an essible area, rather than in a dungeon or secret ce, suggested it held sentimental value.


    It should bemon sense for anyone to understand why someone would hide their legacy in their home rather than elsewhere.


    Perhaps there are people who do otherwise, but from Ryuk''s perspective, knowing his mother, the chances were null.


    ''So, that guy was also here for that legacy.'' It was clear to him that the man he had just killed a moment ago was also on this particr floor to try his luck.


    Since it couldn''t be a coincidence that both met on the same floor.


    Stretching his hand towards the door, Ryuk ced his hand on its surface.


    CRACK


    All the magic circles and runes dissipated at his touch,pletely erased, but it was not yet done.


    Ryuk could clearly see onestyer of security still intact, which was not made through energy but acted on some mechanism.


    Thestyer had some written code on it in a differentnguage.


    ''System, trante those words.'' Ryuk could try his brute strength, but after hearing Alfred''s words, it was clear it would be futile due to his level being on 〖EPIC〗 Rank.

    Result:


    Harness your unique cunning to rise above others, disguising your true intentions under the veil of kindness.


    ━━━━━━━━━━━ ? ━━━━━━━━━━━


    ''This must be the enlightenment everyone was getting here.''  Seeing the now deciphered message, Ryuk understood that the life lesson or so-called enlightenment all those people were getting from here.


    Of course, Ryuk also learned a life lesson after seeing that code.


    ''Mother was hell-bent on making me a saint.'' His eyes were seeing something which no one had seen until now.


    His previous life experience of being isted in Heindal was one of his life''s doubts.


    Why did his Mother want him to be away from the outside world?


    Why only Heindal out of any other ce?


    Who ced that Heaven-grade Artifact in such a cornered ce?


    But it seemed he was going to get the answers to all these questions today, seeing that the code was itself proof of his mother''s true intentions.


    Slowly, he moved his finger towards the words which were: Rise Your Unique Kindness.


    Of course, this sentence was incorrect from a grammatical perspective he had known, but Ryuk was also aware of a huge drawback linked with any trantion.


    Naturally, even in his previous world, trantions of ancient literature into amonnguage always erased the true meaning behind the sentence, destroying the enlightenment hidden behind it only due to theck of exact words in the presentnguage.


    Ignoring grammatical norms, he chose words based on his own name''s first letter, and the sentence which formed was directly indicating the reason for his name being Ryuk.


    TICK


    KRIEEEK~


    The door started to open, slowly revealing a big room filled with in design and ssic decorations.


    GASP


    Alfred couldn''t believe his eyes. Of course, he had also tried to see through the room, but he never once was able to remove any of the seals, let alone crack some code.


    ''Nullify Presence.''


    Using *Shunya*, Ryuk removed his presence, specifically erasing his energy signatures from detection.


    Of course, he couldn''t be physically invisible, but right now, no one from the outside world could feel his presence without seeing him.


    Slowly entering the room, he closed the door before leaving amand, "If Mayaes, keep her on stay until Ie out of this room myself."


    thudN?v(el)B\\jnn


    The doors shutting sound reverberated in the room.


    Everything seemed normal from outside, apletely ordinary room, but Ryuk could see several magic circles ced to preserve this ce.


    tap tap


    His footsteps resonated within the empty room. Ignoring everything, he moved in the direction of arge curtain ced on a wall.


    Stretching his hand, he pulled aside the curtain, revealing a big portrait of two individuals.


    ''Is it him?'' Ryuk''s amber eyes reflected two individuals in that portrait: A woman with amber eyes and ck cascading hair, her gaze cold, and another, a man standing with a blurred face, hidden behind ck smoke.


    ''Why is it like this, System?'' Ryuk felt confused since he couldn''t see the face of the man standing beside his mother.


    [Host, that individual''s presence is erased from the flow of time.]


    ''!?''


    ''borate.'' Ryuk''s gaze turned cold. It was clear that he understood the man''s identity, but the information he just received was more confusing since it clearly indicated that reality was manipted here to erase someone''s existence.


    [Host, the information I obtain about the person is by detecting the signatures of remaining energy fragments inside this room. If I attempt to retrieve further details, the Nexus Grid will be triggered.]


    ''Can you reconstruct his face?''  Naturally, Ryuk was curious to see the face of his biological father, definitely not out of respect or anything.


    For him, that man left his family at the most crucial point of life.


    He may have had some reasons, but epting him as family whom he never met was not something Ryuk could do.


    [There is presence of broke energy fragments in this room. It can be used to reconstruct the face. Should I proceed?]


    ''Wait, tell me what kind of energy fragments those are.'' Before doing anything that could be regrettable for him, Ryuk inquired, since once the face was constructed, that remaining energy would be erased.


    This was also the reason why Ryuk isted his presence before entering the room – by doing so, he isted his own aura from disturbing the energy present inside this ce.


    [Host, energy belongs to a message sent fifteen years ago in the form of a hologram.]
