BXBX NOVEL Chapter 215 Within The [Second Space]
[Michael\'s POV]
.
.
Entering the [Second Space]. I was greeted with the familiar sight of the [Tree of Crona(Mythical)] reaching superior heights and also the small garden in which Rhea was currently working.
On sensing my presence, she turned towards me and smiled before taking slow steps as she observed the people who were with me. Her expression didn\'t show any changes as she came closer to me and spoke,
"I see that you have finally brought someone in here whom you aren\'t going to kill."
"Where is my \'Welcome Back darling?\' "I grumbled as I looked at her, making her glare at me for a few seconds before sighing as she looked at those behind me.
"All of you can go to the garden. There are some fruits that would rejuvenate your energy,"she said as she pointed at the garden and I nodded at them. However, they were, I mean, each and everyone of them, including Miya and Angela, were still standing in a stupor as they observed the area around here.
"Oi! Idiots,"I shouted a little, making them come back from their stupor and pay attention to me,"you can enjoy the scenery later. First, go to the garden and fill your stomach with something. I will be bringing something else to eat as well, in a moment."
They heard me and slowly nodded before walking towards the garden. It did seem like they had a lot of questions, but thankfully they kept their curiosity about and walked to the garden. Except Miya and Angela, who were still standing beside me in a defensive position as they observed Rhea.
"Michael… Who is she?"Miya asked as she looked at me with a complex expression as she moved a step beside me, still gazing at Rhea.
"She is Rhea. My… teacher? Or more like she manages everything in this space,"I explained to her in the briefest way possible. Angela, though looking with the same intent as Miya, did not pose any questions like Miya did. She just stood there, observing and analyzing Rhea.
"She is… a Higher God,"spoke Miya as she finally was able to see through Rhea. Rhea just sighed as she looked at her before turning at me.
"You are?" I asked, not really getting shocked by the situation. In fact, I expected her to be someone that high. Heck, I was even expecting her to be a Primordial or something.
"You don\'t seem surprised," Rhea spoke as she looked at me with a slight relief and I nodded at her,"a few things happened. We have a lot to talk about, too. I hope you will answer all my questions this time."
She looked at me for a few moments before speaking,"Not everything," and I thought about it. Well, at the very least, she isn\'t lying to me, so I guess it\'s fine.
"Sure," I said as I looked at her before turning back to Miya and Angela,"Join the others. Eat something. I will join in a few minutes, too. Rhea, come with me. There is something else I need to take."
While Angela and Miya did want to talk about all that was going on, looking at my expression, they could only keep quiet as they walked away from here. Their eyes, however, did not leave their target. That is, Rhea, as they walked away from here.
"You got some reliable friends, I see,"Rhea spoke as she looked at them walking away from here.
"You can say so,"I said as I turned at the [Tree of Crona(Mythical)] and went to check it slowly. Rhea simply walked beside me.

"Well, I guess, it does seem unreal that there was a time I had to think before using the Cronas,"I chuckled as I looked at the amount I had right now with me. It was truly something that I did expect to happen, but seeing it seemed really unrealistic every time I look at it.
"It is just the start,"Rhea spoke as she yawned and peeked at me, making me curious a little as I asked,"what do you mean by that?"
"Well. You will know it once you reach Level 20 and upgrade your System once more,"she spoke with a slight regret in her voice, as if she was hiding something. My eyes closed for a few moments as I asked,"How many levels are there in total?"
"1000 to be precise," she spoke without wasting any breath as she looked at me with a slight smirk. I looked at her for a few moments as I spoke,"You are joking, right?"
"Who knows?" She chuckled as she walked towards the [Shop] and I followed her with the same dumbfounded expression as before. "Oi! Rhea, what do you mean by that?" I almost shouted as I looked at her, but it didn\'t seem like she was going to answer that.
As we reached the [Shop] she finally stopped walking as she began speaking without turning,"Like I said before, you will know it once you reach Level 20."
And I looked at her, as I observed her for a few seconds as I sighed,"Just what exactly will happen at Level 20?"
"You know… after all the things you have been through… I think I could believe in you a little," she spoke again without any context making me more confused than I already was. It was kind of frustrating at this point.
"Don\'t worry, you will get to know your answers very soon,"she said with a kind smile as she entered the [Shop] and I followed behind her. Just what exactly…
"You wanted this, right?" She spoke as she pointed at the [House] Section of the [Shop] area, where a big carpet of white color was presented on the screen.
[Carpet of Wishes]
[Description: This carpet was made by the fabric of creativity by the Maker of the gourmet creators. Their special magic which allowed them to create all kinds of food with the touch of their gifts. This Carpet is one of their special creations.

Cost: 500,000 Cronas]
\'Looks costly a little,\' I thought as I purchased this [Carpet of Wishes] and took it with me outside the [Shop].
"Well, I guess I can trust you a little more, since you have been with me for quite a while. But if you betray me…"I spoke with a knowing look as I walked out of the [Shop]. Since I did not look back, I kinda wondered what kind of expression she was making.
