Chapter 93 - A Way To Enter Levonia

"Who the heck is he again?"

"..."

"Shin was it?", he said in a low voice.

Of course, the climate changed a bit, probably because he recited Shin's name without knowing that there already existed such a name which was of much higher status than his own!

The same thing had happened earlier too, but he was just too immersed to even notice such a thing.

"I guess I should follow him to see how strong he is in reality...", was what he said.

Although Lenovia was a nation built by humans, it wasn't that prosperous.

It was indeed a large nation, it could easily be considered as the third-largest in the continent, but despite that, the condition was rotten. Humans would even kill each other just for fun and sometimes for food and other things.

Indeed, if the kingdom is supposedly large, the management would be tough. Much tougher would be maintaining peace and prosperity.

The content on which Shin was right now was called 'Maya Land', which meant an Illusion or appearance of the phenomenal world!

Who kept this name or who came up with that word was unknown, all that was known that it existed since the beginning.

The word consisted of eight continents and the Maya Land was one of them. The number of human Kingdoms in the Maya land ranged from thirty to fifty only.

Of course, there were other races existing between humans like Eleves and other beast-like creatures.

They existed in other continents as well so there was nothing to worry about, the land was sufficient after all.

Then why was Levonia so poor? Why was the management so poor?

There were three main reasons for that, the current king of the Kingdom, called Adenas, was someone who put all the money in the military!

It was because the kingdom's borders were overlapping with the great forest thanks to which monsters would attack quite randomly and it would be quite often!

That was why he thought that using the money for defense and the military was the best thing.

That was because he used the money to buy weapons from others causing the money to go out of their own kingdom. 

The money that came inside the kingdom was barely 1% of the total money sent out, which led to poverty and revolts!

The second reason was that the Kingdom had faith in an old religion that believed in prophecies!

Due to that, some foreign kingdoms took advantage by making fake prophecies which led the kingdom to suffer several losses, including manpower, wealth, and even health!

The third reason was that the King was way too greedy than any other.

He would take everything for himself and would even starve his own guard, sometimes that is.

In any case, these were the main reasons as to why the kingdom was almost ruined!

Now Wendy and Balton were similarly rotten since they were also born in the kingdom. Although they had human intelligence, they were no different than beasts in terms of behavior!

They too were greedy till the core and would do anything for their own gain.

He didn't even know anything about them, all he cared for was the bring Aella back because he could finally see her in his navigation system.

'Ding'

[ Searching Aella... ]

[ Search completed ]

[ The being Aella found ]

[ 15 miles due north ]

This was the notification that he got due to which he rushed as fast as he could.

Shin had observed one thing during this entire year, he had hunted around ten names beasts that had been named by some mysterious entity.

When he hunted them, even after their death, their names remained the same however it was no longer associated with them.

How so?

It was because he tried naming tiny ant-like beasts while he was doing experiments.

When he names an ant, it evolved and grew in size a bit, however after killing it, he could name another ant too and with the same name!

That was what surprised him because the previous ant's dead body showed the same name too.

He tried to see if it happened with living ants, however, he failed.

This puzzled him even more and perhaps now he was aware how he could name himself 'Shin'.

If the actual Shin, the God Of wolves wouldn't have been dead, then he might have had no chance to name himself that!

Well, there was something that surprised him even more and probably that answered how he was able to gain skill so easily!

When a named beast was to die, and if another beast were to assume the same name, it would get some skills and characters from the previous owner of the name!

A normal wolf, even with a system, shouldn't have been able to gain skills so quickly.

The reason for the fast growth and quick learning of skills was because he had the name of a God who was dead.

"So this is my second cheat?", he asked himself.

The first cheat was getting a system and the second was the name that aided him in his growth!

In any case, he had been in the Land Of Lost Ones for quite a long time due to which Balton and Wendy had already entered the kingdom.

Shin was still outside. He had to pause after some time because he spotted the huge walls of the kingdom which were almost impossible to climb. 

Regardless, he had to find a way that would help him to get inside.

When he was thinking about that, many notifications started to appear.

'Ding'

[ Skill Heal has been... ]

[ Skill... ]

Whatever he took a glance at the texts and after realizing that they were just activation messages, he ignored them.

He then looked here and there to find a way that would let him enter the kingdom easily.

He didn't want to draw any attention towards himself, all he wanted to do was save Aella and for that, he had to know where she exactly was.

He was standing out of every human's sight behind a small rock in the vast grassland.

Many humans were standing while trying to get inside the kingdom, however, there was a crowd, twice as big as them trying to exit the kingdom!

'Hmm...'

'How do I get in...?'

He was thinking about that one thing when suddenly another notification popped up.

[ 20 miles due north ]

Aella just kept going farther. Shin could no longer wait after seeing the screen.

He wanted to just run directly inside but that would only make things difficult.

And just when he was worried thinking about it, he found a cart to his left side.

The crowd was long due to which the cart was in just one place, on seeing that, Shin smiled.

"I found a way to pass through this damn gate...", was what he said.

Right after that, he used the skill dash to reach the cart.

'Ding'

[ You have used the skill Dash ]

-> Your speed is raised by 100%

-> Dexterity of the limbs is increased by 50%

-> Fatigue will start to get acc.u.mulated by 0.05 per second.

-> Skill will get deactivated automatically the moment fatigue reaches 20

Right after doing that, he climbed inside the cart which had many goods in it.

He just hid in one of the barrels that were open, it had some typical fruits in it. Probably the man was a fruit dealer.

Since food was short in the kingdom, it made sense that lots of the dealers and traders that came in brought food since it would be over almost immediately.

Regardless, he hid in the barrel that was empty and was open. He squeezed himself so that he wouldn't be found.

He didn't even close the lid and just hid inside, probably he thought that no one would check!

However, as soon as the cart arrived near the gates, the soldiers stopped and almost immediately rushed near the cart and started to check the boxes.

Shin was nervous because they were checking the boxes because right next to them was the barrel which was completely open and he was hiding inside it.

"Ah, you brought fruits...", said one of the guards who was bald.

"Yes...", said the trader.

"Okay, you can pass...", said the same man.

On hearing that Shin was happy and without knowing made a little movement with his tail causing a bit of sound from the barrel.

"Wait a second..."

"What was that?"

"..."

The man then walked towards the barrel because he saw it moving clearly while hearing the sound as a bonus.

He then took a look at the same barrel where Shin was hiding.

"What the-?"

"..."

To be continued...
