Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 558

Chapter 558 No Helping It

A huge sigh resounded inside an expansive room, followed by the sound of someone slumping on the bed.

Atticus gazed up at the ceiling, completely lost in thought. He had found out about the title "Apex" a few days ago and learned about his enormous responsibilities. However, that wasn't even what had him thinking now.

'It's only going to get harder from here on out,' Atticus pondered, already anticipating what was coming. He truly had never expected it. Just how are the Apexes of the other races so strong?

Atticus knew his situation well; he was basically a walking cheat. The gap between him and his other human peers was crazy large. Although he expected the other races to be strong, this was far, far too much.

'It can't be. If there was such a gap between the humans and other races, then humanity should have gone extinct by now,'

Atticus suddenly remembered Magnus's words: this generation's Apexes are a different breed altogether.

He was starting to understand what that meant now. 'The Apexes were always more powerful than the humans, but not to Ae'ark's extent. Which means that this generation is different from all the others,'

Atticus was truly starting to lean in on the assumption he had made while battling Ae'ark. Ae'ark was also like him, reincarnated.

However, before Atticus could keep on thinking, the door to his room slid open and a circular object held up by tendrils of lightning streamed into the room.

The door closed and Atticus found himself looking at a floating object. Atticus's eyes narrowed slightly as he reached out and grabbed the note attached to it.

-The Apex you fought with asked me to give you this when you wake up. I have scrutinized it thoroughly and have seen that there are no dangers. Regardless, I must advise you to be cautious. It's an information storage artifact; it was programmed to only react to your mana. Channel your mana into it to activate it.-

Atticus went silent. He could notice Magnus's choice of words. The man had scrutinized it for any dangers, but he hadn't listened to what was inside.

Atticus could sit here all day wondering why Ae'ark had given him this or what was inside, but he would simply be wasting his time.

Instead, Atticus wasted no time and immediately channeled his mana into the artifact. Its form lit up slightly, and in the next second, a wave of information found its way into Atticus's head.

Atticus closed his eyes, trying to organize the insane amount of information streaming into his head. After a few moments, his gaze snapped open, eyes widening in shock.

'So I was right,'

Atticus thought, a wave of shock engulfing him. What he had just found out from this artifact was that mind-boggling.

Despite the information being a lot, the parts Atticus focused on were only a little. But regardless, that little held great significance.

Atticus had been right about his earlier assumption: he wasn't the only reincarnated person on Eldoralth!

The information added that he was supposed to find out all of these things from his life weapon when he learned the third art, but Ae'ark had wanted Atticus to know about everything because time was running out.

This generation of Apexes was completely different from all the other generations. The reason why the power gap between the current and the last generation was so large was exactly because of 'the being'.

In all other generations, the being had always chosen a native individual from each race, given him or her perks, and then bonded with the life weapon. But this had always brought about subpar results. Apparently, none of those Apexes had been able to satisfy the being!

Which was why it had decided to switch things up and bring in people from other worlds.

The implications of this piece of information were obvious: every single Apex of each race was reincarnated, each of them given perks that corresponded to their respective race. To put the icing on the cake, they each had a life weapon!

Atticus took a long moment to take all of this in. It was truly a lot. Here he was thinking he had been the only person that was reincarnated and had been comfortably planning for his revenge on the bastard that sent him here. He had no idea that there were larger things at play!

However, despite this crazy revelation, what came next truly made him want to pull all his hair out from his scalp.

They had each found out about the end goal, what each of the Apexes was supposed to do. In simple terms, it was a battle royale, a brutal one that could only end when all but one Apex remained alive.
