The Author's POV

Chapter 464

8 :10 a.m — [A huge unknown crack suddenly appeared in the sky. What followed after was intense trembling resembling that of an earthquake of magnitude 6.5]

8 :40 a.m — [The trembling persisted for a total of thirty minutes before stopping. At the moment there have been no reports of deaths as there were only reports regarding a couple of injured individuals. Not much is known about the crack in the sky.]

9 :15 a.m — [Reports coming from the Union have stated that everything is under control and that they have increased their guard on the crack in the sky.]

9 :15 a.m — [In a shocking turn of events, scientists have reported the fact that the mana density of the planet has increased by a factor of three. Many individuals who had been stuck at the same rank for years have suddenly found themselves breaking through.]

9 :15 a.m — [Our world has reached a new turning point.]

Turning off the holographic projection, Smallsnake solemnly looked toward the others gathered in the room. At the moment, everyone was currently seated on the large wooden desk set up in one of the rooms of the warehouse.

The room was a special room made for emergency situations. The moment the crack in the sky appeared, Hein and Ava panicked and were just about to rush back to their parents and family to make sure that they were alright.

However, before they could go out, they were quickly stopped by Ren who had called in and told everyone to remain in the building. Before Ava and Hein could protest, he also told them that their parents were going to be alright.

Although Hein and Ava wanted to protest, since Ren was the one to speak, and they knew that he was usually not wrong in these types of situations, they obediently followed his orders.

That being said, an air of nervousness and tension permeated throughout the whole room as everyone was still confused about the sudden turn of events.

Out of everyone present, the only one that seemed to be the least bit concerned about the situation was Angelica, who was currently seated by the far end of the table with her eyes closed. Next to her was Ava.

Turning on his laptop and browsing through his information channels, Smallsnake thought for a moment and raised his head.

"Angelica, do you have any idea about what's going on?"

Her calmness made Smallsnake think that she knew something. However, it appeared as though he had assessed wrongly as Angelica quickly shot him down.

"No."

The frown on Smallsnake's face deepened.

Pinching the screen of his laptop, Smallsnake looked through the images of the crack in the sky, however, regardless of how much he tried to look, he couldn't make heads or tails of what was happening.

'I hope Ren gets here sooner. I really am not liking this situation.'

Staring at the different headlines and titles in front of him, Smallsnake shook his head. This situation was worrying him to no end.

Lowering his head and checking his watch, just as Smallsnake was about to call Ren, Smallsnake was suddenly alerted of the presence of someone in the warehouse. Opening the cameras and seeing that it was Ren, Smallsnake finally relaxed and closed his laptop.

'Thank god he's here.'

Clank—!

Entering the warehouse, with Nola still in my arms, I quickly headed for the conference room. If they listened to my instructions, everyone should be there at the moment.

And it was exactly as I thought. The moment I entered the room, I found everyone already seated, waiting for me.

Upon my arrival, I felt everyone's eyes directed in my direction, or to be more precise, Nola in my arms. I feigned ignorance to the stares.
