Keys To The Gate

The two were in a gigantic corridor with pillars on each side supporting the structure. Beautiful lights adorned the insides and gave it a royal look.

"Let"s go in."

The two walk along the large corridor, noticing statues guarding both the left side and right. The statues had an unnerving quality to them. Their expressions were extremely realistic.

As the two were walking Joanna felt creepy. "Tristan, I"m feeling like someone is urging me to go deeper." Tristan nodded, because he felt the same thing. A gentle pressure was urging them forward.

The two finally crossed the corridor and arrived into a garden. The garden was extremely well maintained, with roses adorning the beautiful paved paths and the complicated floral arrangements made Joanna fill up with wonder. The path of the two led them to an umbrella shaped structure under which a table had been set up.

When the two arrived at the table, a voice sounded out. "Welcome, this is the first time I"ve had guests in a long time." An orb of energy began glowing with a golden hue before it transformed into an ordinary person.

The person looked young and handsome, with brown hair but heroic eyes. He looked like any ordinary human being.

"Please have a seat. I"ll serve you some tea." The man smiled and Tristan and Joanna sat down on chairs with doubts.

The man expertly summoned three tea cups and began brewing tea, before finally pouring it into three cups.

"Go ahead. This tea has some surprisingly beneficial effects."

Tristan nodded and took the tea. It looked lile a drop of heaven had condensed itself, whirlpools that felt like a story of the universe itself sucked his eyes in. Tristan drank a sip.

[Elevated Thought Tea]

The system told him, but he didn"t have time to think because his mind almost exploded and started expanding rapidly until he felt some kind of barrier, which he was struggling at the boundary. Immediately, he drank a few more sips of the tea.

A calming force enveloped his mind and tried to breach the barrier, but wasn"t able to even till the last sip. However, unlike Tristan, Joanna"s disposition seemed to have changed, her eyes became electric and her mind broke through.

The man smiled. "The miss has formed the first mental pillar, that is indeed a commendable progress. You on the other hand, friend, your mental vessel is too large. It is so large that even forming the first pillar is as difficult as forming four pillars for others. Both of you are quite interesting children."

"Thank you for this marvelous tea." Joanna said.

"It was my pleasure." The man smiled.

Tristan looked at the man. "May we know who you are?"

"Sure. I am the owner of this palace. You may call me the Tea Master." The Tea Master smiled. "I don"t remember how long it has been since I"ve seen a human. Are humans still based on Earth?"

"Humans have settled on many worlds, but they are based on Earth." Tristan nodded.

"Hmm." The Tea Master nodded before taking out a pocket watch and staring at it for a while. "It seems this world fragment attached itself to Earth, I will have to move the palace again."

Tristan hesitated for a bit. "I heard that this world fragmented because of a battle between two powerful forces."

The Tea Master nodded. "That was indeed a matter. I had asked my friend to protect me from that crazy guy and both of them ended up fighting like crazy and split this fragment into isolation. This isolated world fragment was a good place to lay low until now."

The Tea Master clapped. "Well since you are the first visitors in some time, I will let you try your luck." The tea master then moved his hand and Tristan as well as Joanna were pulled along with him to an inner chamber of the palace.

Inside the chamber was a wheel, which functioned like a standing roulette. The three landed in position in front of the wheel.

"This is an old treasure of mine. Based on your luck, it will provide you with either a gift or nothing at all. It is a good thing. Go ahead, try it." The Tea Master smiled at Tristan.

Tristan looked at the wheel, but couldn"t make out anything suspicious about it. So he walked up to it and pressed the b.u.t.ton before the wheel. The wheel immediately began whirring and rotating at a blindingly quick pace before coming to a stop.

"Oh, you are quite lucky. You receive a night token." The Tea Master smiled and then a wooden token suddenly appeared in Tristan"s hand.

[Night Token]

The Tea Master then urged Joanna to try the wheel. She did the same as well, when the Wheel stopped, The Tea Master looked surprised. "Young lady, it seems that you are a very lucky person. The wheel is bestowing upon you the opportunity to evolve your physique in the direction of the Energy body path, much like myself."

Soon a surge of energy and knowledge flooded her mind. When she came to her self she mumbled. "Singularity Physique..."

The Tea Master nodded. "Indeed, that is the ultimate goal of the Energy path, to achieve a Singularity Void Physique. It appears that the wheel has pointed you towards that goal, I wish you success."

Tristan heard that and thought. "How does the Singularity Void Physique compare to the Undying Live Forever state?"

The Tea Master raised an eyebrow. "Both are quite different in their means and it would be hard to compare. The goal of both physiques is to be impervious to destruction and death. Singularity Physique chooses the path of a.s.similating into energy that can"t be destroyed, while Undying Live Forever chooses to temper the flesh to the limit comparable to the singularity. One abandons the physical self while one embraces it."

Tristan bowed. "Thank you for the insight Tea Master. I"d just like to ask you what does the Night Token do?"

The Tea Master smiled. "The Night Token allows you to summon Night one time. That is the extent I can tell you. However the token is very fickle, and you can only summon Night when Night wants you to summon it."

Tristan was confused, but he could make out that the Tea Master was not willing to speak any further on the matter.

Soon, as per the instructions of the Tea Master, Tristan and Joanna left the palace and as soon as they did so, a huge void appeared in the sky of the Frog World and the palace was absorbed by it and disappeared.
