Alchemist In The Apocalypse: Rise Of A Legend!

Primordials

[Ace POV],

When I heard Emma's question, I opened my mouth to reply.

"What do you want?" I asked.

Hearing this, Emma did not reply to me immediately as she repositioned her sitting position better to face before speaking.

"I have an idea and I want you to tell me your thoughts," she said then took a pause for me to get what she said before she continued.

"Look at this", she said as she took an ancient-looking scroll from her robe before handing it to me.

Seeing this, I began to wonder what was up with the world and scrolls all of a sudden as I opened the scroll to see its content.

...

"Primitive and Unearthed

Three founded and Uprooted

Taken away from their race to reality

Till they found out all was not as it seems

Something was up with the primordials"

...…..

Part 1

...…..

Reading the words written in the scroll in my hands, it was safe to say I was confused.

For one, I understood nothing of what was being written.

What do the words 'Three founded and Uprooted' mean?

Apart from this, there was also the 'Taken away from their race' part.

Assuming it was what I was thinking that the race mentioned here was humans, does this mean that three humans were adopted or rather like the scroll said, taken away from their fellow humans?

What does the primitive here mean too?

As I thought of these things, I became more confused.

The fact that this small scroll in my hand was actually part 1 of something did not help either.

Speaking of the scroll, I thought of something and turned to face Emma before speaking.

"Did you always carry this every time?" I asked as Emma shyly nodded her head for some reason.

Seeing this, I asked another question.

"Where did you even put it in there?" I asked as Emma just avoided me as she tried to avoid eye contact with me.

'What happened?'

'I was just asking a question'

As I thought of these things as they flashed through my head, I turned to Emma and asked another question.

"Where did you get this and what does it mean?" I asked as Emma finally stopped trying to avoid me as she replied to my question.

"I got it from my first kill reward", she said and added; "it was from a level 5 monster too"

When I heard the latter part of what she said, the legs that were swinging before stopped as I turned to take a deep look at Emma.

'Level 5 huh'

While this level was far from causing damage to me, it should be noted that my first kill reward was from killing a level 3 monster.

To think Emma's first kill reward was actually from killing a level 5 monster.

That was two levels higher than mine.

While two might seem little, it should be noted that the first kill event happened when we were all unleveled.

That means we were all level 1 at that time.

I don't know how many people grouped up together with Emma or if she killed the monster solo but still.

It was still a level 5 monster which meant something.

But there was one question that arose due to all this

If Emma killed that sort of monster, isn't she supposed to be like, more powerful than she currently was with the orbs she received?

Or did she receive a lower-rank orb?

As I thought of these things, Emma spoke as she brought me out of my thoughts.

Perhaps she knew what I was thinking since what she said was related to my confused thoughts.

"Look at the scroll again using the primordial chronicle", she simply said and said nothing more as she continued to look at me.

Seeing this, I said nothing more and just did as she said as I use the primordial chronicle to see if I could get a piece of information from the scroll in my hand.

I didn't bother to do this before since I subconsciously thought of the scroll as ordinary.

[??? ???],

Bound to Emma and can only be used by the entity called Emma.

...…

Hmmm

If I didn't see the information of the scroll or if the primordial chronicle never gave me anything, I would have forgotten about this matter that happened today morning.

I have only seen this message once and that was from the black orb I got from clearing the first 100 dungeons that spawned in the world.

It was at this moment when I saw a slightly similar message I knew this scroll or rather the information of the scroll wasn't simple.

But this brought some questions too.

What was the meaning or rather the interpretation of the scroll content and since the scroll was 'bound to Emma, why was I able to view the scroll content?

As I thought of these things, Emma took the scroll from my hands suddenly.

Seeing this, I was about to speak when Emma suddenly stood up and came close to me before showing me the surface of the scroll again.

But this time, something was different as more content started appearing on the scroll after Emma started to infuse her mana into the scroll.

...

"Primitive and Unearthed

Three founded and Uprooted

Taken away from their race to reality

Till they found out all was not as it seems

Something was up with the primordials

Was it a game of a higher being or was it a coincidence that the race just happened to have primordials of their own?"

...…..

Part 1

...…..

Though the beginning of the content was the same as before, there were more words at the end although it was little, this was not what had attention as it was something else.

It was a map of something but after Emma stopped infusing mana into the scroll, the map and additional content of before disappeared.

Hmmm

'Who are the primordials really?'
