    "Prime Carter," I greeted the old man as I opened the door.


    "Can Ie in?" he asked.


    "Sure," I replied. I am quite curious about the maning here; it wasn''t long ago; he had returned from the small realm.


    We entered the living room and sat across from each other.


    "It''s quite a beautiful abode you have," he said, looking around the artful living room. It is filled with artful pieces with frescos on the ceiling and the wall.


    "Thank you. The original owner would have been very pleased. If he had heard that," I replied, surprising the man.


    I am not wrong. The person had brought these art pieces from outside and spent an insane amount of time arranging them all perfectly.


    It''s quite wonderful.


    Though not to my taste. I like things a little homey, where I would feel like resting when I enter.


    "Are you always this blunt?" he asked. "When I want to," I replied. To that, the old man shook his head with a smile before his expression became serious.


    "You must be wondering why I havee to you," he said. "It is one of the questions in my head," I replied.


    "I came here to invite you to my organization. You can join it or stay as the guests, without any responsibility," he stated in his intention.


    Saying I am surprised would be an understatement. I am so surprised that I didn''t even hide it.


    "I have to say, it is unexpected," I replied. To that old man smiled a little.


    "There is nothing unexpected about it. You are a powerful prime despite the problem you are having. Most importantly, you are an Advance Grade Runemaster,"


    "I don''t think there is any Prime who is better than you in the world," he said.


    His words cleared his intention. Still, I am surprised.


    To be honest, I nned to move around. It is dangerous, but I didn''t think I would have a better choice. However, it seemed like I had underestimated my worth.


    Now, there is another choice. More dangerous than the other one.


    "It won''t be free, of course. We will offer you things that will be worth your stay in our organization," he added a momentter.


    "And what will I have to do?" I asked with a smile.


    "Nothing. Your presence alone would be enough for us, but if you wish, you could share some of your knowledge of the runes with us," he replied.


    The runic knowledge is important, but I did not think it would be this important to them.


    Of course, there is also me. Every Prime adds to the weight of the organization.


    "I am not much of a teacher," I replied directly, but the old man simply shook his head.


    "We do not ask you to be a teacher. Just a guide," he said with a smile.


    "I have to say, you have given me quite a lot to think about, Prime Carter," I replied.


    "The man feels relieved that you will at least think about it," he said and got up. "I will," I replied and walked him toward the door.


    A few secondster, the door closed, and the smile on my face vanished.


    The offer sounds great, but it''s not without danger. First and foremost, him being able to find out about me. The moment he did, all the friendliness would vanish.


    He would do everything to harness the forbidden power and use it to take a step forward.


    Though, it also offers many perks. The first is that I will have a base. I wouldn''t be a vagrant that anyone would target.


    Still, it would be dangerous. Seeing the old man''s organization has Silver Prime. She hadn''t been seen in over a decade, but Tor believed that she was alive.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    I pushed those thoughts away and activated ''do not disturb'' in my abode before closing.


    There will be four days before the gates activate and begin to pull people out. There is plenty of time to think about it.


    I entered my core and appeared beside the library before stepping inside.


    I looked at the inheritance my clones were working on before sitting down and closing my eyes.


    It''s time for me toprehend thews. I want to finish that rune.


    I close my eyes and focused my constitution. After that, it took me a minute before the vastness ofw came in front of me.


    It is so vast that it is iprehensible.


    I didn''t try to focus on it all instead, try toprehend the part I was thinking about. It took a while, but it appeared in front of me, and I started to unravel the mysteries of it.


    They are vast, not as vast as the wholew, but still vast.


    Even here, I focused on the smallest. Focusing on everything would make me tired within a minute and wouldn''t get me what I wanted.


    Hours passed, and I remained unmoving. Swimming in mysteries of thew, I amprehending.


    Finally, I opened my eyes, not because I was finished, but because my head started to hurt.


    I rested for a while before raising my finger up and gently drawing the rune.


    It took me only a few seconds to finish it. When I did, there was a smile on my serious face.


    "I did it," I said with a smile.


    This is the firstw rune; I was able toprehend. I would need toprehend a thousand. Millions in the future, but I did not feel too worried.


    I basked in my sess while looking at the powerful rune in front of me.


    It is really powerful. Representing myprehension.


    If I used runes as powerful as this one in my inheritance. I would be tremendously


    powerful. Though, I can''t use too many of these runes.


    They are powerful but require a lot of energy. They also have a muchrger weight.


    If I used them in ce of the current ancient runes. I will not be able to sustain my armor for more than a second despite all the power it might be able to give me.
