The ring didn't come out with a 3D emoji this time. Instead, a 3D message came out. There were several things written there. Before I could read them, the ring started saying,
-->>Welcome Master, you have arrived directly to the world of Agnolenia in the Tower of Gluttony via random teleport. This may be your destiny.
I had a lot of questions to ask, so I started one by one,
-->>Ring How did I get here? And how did my body change?
-->>Master, I have said before that my Random Teleport skill has some drawbacks, one of which is that it can teleport to any random place. I cannot choose a specific place. The second drawback is that it requires energy to use. Your body did not have any Mana, Aura, Demonic energy at that time, so your Vital Energy was used to activate the skill. Since your Vital Energy was used, many years had passed from your body, which was supposed to make you very old, but due to world travel, this drawback works the opposite way, and as a result, you reduce your age.
The ring was explained to me very naturally, but I didn't get my answer.
-->>I understand, but why am I not the same as I was in my 10s? On the contrary, how has my body changed?
-->>Master, I can't say that. But your skill Gluttony has this ability, if you can absorb someone's blood, you can take their form, but as far as I know, for that you have to unlock the Gluttony skill 50%. Where your skill is only 1% unlocked.
-->>So you're saying you had no hand in changing my body?
-->>Yes. Master, I wish you well, I have unlocked 2% and got a new skill. "Medic" has been added to your body. You can create resistance to any disease and that disease with this skill. This is an active skill, so you can activate it yourself when needed.
I was surprised again to hear about the new skill. But I wasn't interested in it at first, I started telling Ring.
-->>Ring So I'm somewhere far away from Earth?
-->>Yes Master. This place is very far away from the universe of Earth.
-->>So you can't send it to Earth from here?
-->>Master, I am just a simple ring from my old master. I do not hold any special powers. However, he has other items in the tower that can send you to Earth.
-->>So I have to enter the tower to return to Earth? So what kind of person was this master of the ring? How did he get such a powerful item? And how did he build such a big tower?
I said with interest. Ring replied simply,
->>Master, I can't give you too many details. But I can tell you one thing. My old master, Prince Beelzebub, was not a human. Rather, he was a demon prince.
I was surprised by Ring's words. A demon? Are these the demons who make various contracts with people in exchange for their souls? Or have we all been in some kind of contract with demons all this time? Many thoughts came to my mind,
-->>Master, I know you have a lot of thoughts in your head right now, so I can only give you one piece of advice. You should become strong as soon as possible. The stronger you become, the deeper you will be able to go into all the information.

Alex started thinking about a lot of things, Maria interrupted his thoughts. He had cooked several meals by now. He had come upstairs to call Alex. Seeing Alex quietly on the balcony in the room, Maria approached him. Alex was in deep thought. Alex was suddenly startled when he was called from behind. He suddenly wanted to turn around. But he started falling because his legs couldn't hold him. Maria carefully held her son. Then, holding Maria's hand, Alex went downstairs very carefully. Although he could walk normally, Alex had a little difficulty going up and down the stairs. Even then, since the room upstairs was beautiful, Maria and Almond asked Alex to stay upstairs. Almond was setting the food on the table downstairs. Which is nothing new. Although Almond always does the cooking. Almond thinks that Maria's food is not that good. However, today Maria herself cooked for Alex carefully. Which Alex himself knows will not be good. Still, he doesn't want to hurt Maria's feelings.
The dining room is next to the kitchen, with a small table with four chairs. One is left there because it's not needed.
-->>Honey, did you need to cook anything today?
Almond told his wife about it. He cooks every day himself, which is why Maria's cooking looks good but is difficult to eat. Maria was an Alchemist in the past. Which is why every dish she makes works as a high-quality medicine. However, the problem is that every dish is very difficult to eat. Which is why Almond started cooking himself while living in the Demon Forest. He kept Maria away from cooking with various excuses.
-->>What do you mean, my cooking isn't good?
Maria said angrily. Almond said to calm Maria's anger,
-->>That's not it, Honey, what I meant was that the heat of the cooking fire would ruin your beautiful face, that's why I forbade you from cooking.
-->>Today is a special day for my son, so I cooked it myself to celebrate. The menu today includes all my special dishes.
Maria, seeing Almond's thoughts, said it naturally. Meanwhile, Alex was sitting down and eating. Today, no food seemed like inedible medicine to him. The first day he tried Maria's food, he had to spit it out several times, he couldn't remember the number of times. But today, all the food tasted like ordinary food, it would be wrong to say ordinary, they would be comparable to the food in five-star restaurants in the world. Almond was very surprised to see that Alex didn't stop eating. He was disappointed because Alex had never eaten his own food like this. However, he said with interest,
-->>Special means that today is not Alex's birthday.
-->>Ha ha. You may not know, but a while ago a man came to visit. He looked like he might be a butler for a royal or noble family. He left with a letter without saying a word. At first I was angry, thinking it was a love letter from him. But later, when I opened it with interest, you will be surprised to hear what I found,
-->>What did he give us that would surprise us?
-->>The younger daughter of the Duke of Mephas Mandela was very impressed by our son's bravery at the gates of the capital today. Because of this, she sent Alex an invitation letter to Mephas Academy. Our Alex will be able to enter Mephas Academy without any problems.
-->>This is great news, I knew my son would be just like his father. But I didn't expect that as soon as he arrived in the capital, he would drive a duke's daughter crazy with his handsome looks.
Almond said this while stroking Alex's head. At the same time, he slowly started telling Alex,
-->>I knew my Alex would be no less than me. But Alex, you still have a lot to learn. Dad will teach you everything slowly. After a while, you will see that your daughter will follow you in line.
Even though Alex was embarrassed by Almond's words, he didn't show his embarrassment. He was eating Maria's cooking silently as usual. Almond was surprised to see no curiosity in his son. He started thinking about his own youth, even though they weren't that old yet. In this world, a person can live for a maximum of two hundred years. Usually, youth is considered up to a hundred years, where Almond would be around fifty. Alex was surprised at first to learn about Almond and Maria's ages, but it wasn't that surprising. There were many secrets between Almond and Maria that Alex didn't understand. However, Alex wasn't interested in that. Alex became interested in this academy. Maria hadn't told Alex anything about the academy before, so Alex looked at Maria with curiosity. Maria, understanding her son's interest, began to say,
-->>Alex Academy is a special place. Especially since all the sons and daughters of Nobel Prize winners get the opportunity to enter there. It won't be difficult for you to enter there through a letter from the Duke's daughter.
-->>What kind of place is this academy? It looks like a school.
Alex said it slowly. Alex had heard about the school from Maria before. Maria began to explain to Alex,
-->>School is a very ordinary place, which is made for the children of ordinary people. Academies are basically located in the capital of every kingdom. However, schools are built in all the other cities of that kingdom. Looking at the numbers, it is clear which is more important. Although the goal of education in school and academy is the same, the type of education is completely different. If an ordinary boy or girl can enter the academy, then there is a possibility of him getting a Nobel Prize in the future. Although it is a possibility, it is very unlikely.
-->>Can I learn about magic from this academy?
Alex asked Maria his curious question. Maria and Almond looked at each other, then Maria said,
-->>Alex, you have to be a Mana and Pran energy user out of the three energies to use magic. Basically, if you are a Pran user, you can be an Alchemy or Healer like me. If you are a Mana energy user, you can be a Mage, then you can use various attribute magic spells. But...
Before Maria could finish speaking, Almond put his hand on Alex's neck and said,
-->>Alex Mana and Pran are two really bad energies. I know you will be an Aura energy user like your father. So don't worry. In the future, you will become a Legendary Knight just like me.
-->>You are no longer a legendary knight. Don't laugh.
Maria said this to Almond angrily. Almond also replied,
-->>Okay, let Alex take the academy test first, only then will we know whether Alex will be the user of my Aura or your Pran.
Alex's dinner ended in a fight between the two. Alex sat down calmly and asked?
-->>Test?
-->>Entering the academy is not an easy task, not even for the sons and daughters of a Nobel Prize winner. However, this test is basically designed for ordinary boys and girls. If you have a Nobel title and are an energy user, you can enter the academy, but it is not easy for ordinary children. Ordinary people have the opportunity to enter the academy after passing several tests.
Maria explained to Alex. Almond now began to say,
-->>But this letter from the Duke's daughter is different. Although you usually have to take several tests, with this letter you can only enter the academy if you pass the energy test.
Maria and Almond didn't notice when Alex fell asleep while listening to all the explanations. So Maria took her son in her arms and laid him on the bed in his room. She covered him with a blanket and turned off the light in the room. There were several burning candles in the room, which actually gave off much brighter light than ordinary lamps. Maria closed the room and came out. After coming down, Almond and Maria started talking,
-->>Honey, why was it necessary to get Alex into the academy? We have to go to the family.
-->>Did you see how interested he was when he heard about the academy? Can we hold back his interest? And besides, at this age, he needs friends that he can easily make at school or the academy.
-->>But I can't wait. Will your friend be able to fix his leg problem? I can feel the Aura energy radiating from Alex's body, which is driving me crazy to train him,
Almond said very excitedly, Maria started answering again,
-->>You know about Chesley's powers. So I think Alex will be completely fine in a week.
Maria was silent for a while and then spoke again,
-->>And yes, the family has probably thought we're dead, so we'll let them think that way. When the time comes, they'll realize it, and then the stars will come to take us.

At night, a big function is taking place in the mansion of Duke Mandela in the capital. Today is the wedding anniversary of Duke Mandela von Rispon. So all the high-ranking people of the Kingdom and their families have gathered there. Everyone is wishing Duke Mandela and his wife Aren von Rispon. The function is in the huge garden of the Duke's mansion. Where there are hundreds of tables, each table has a variety of food, which has been cooked by the most famous chefs in the Kingdom. During the function, different people are discussing different topics. But the main topic of everyone's discussion is who will be the next King. It is a common thing in the Kingdom that the current King will not live much longer. So everyone knows that the crown will now go to the head of the first, if not the second Prince.
Duke Avest could not attend the function. Instead, his daughter Elin von Wexkull participated in the function in his place. Elin was sitting at a separate table, she did not like her place at all. Elin is in second place among the five top beauties of the Mephas Kingdom, which is why thousands of people at the function have their eyes on her, but they did not stay on her for long. Duke Mandela's younger daughter Myra von Rispon, holding two glasses of juice, approached Elin. Everyone's eyes were now on the second and third beauties of Mephas. The duke's daughters Elin and Myra sat together and started talking without looking at the others.
Myra held out a glass in her hand towards Elin and said,
-->>Elin, today marks ten years of our friendship. This is a drink to celebrate our tenth anniversary.
Elin began to say, feeling a little upset,
-->>It would have been great if the princess were here today.
-->>I invited the Princess for today's function. But because the King is unwell, the Princess is staying with the King.
-->>Oh, I know how empty it feels without the princess.
-->>The Second Prince is crazy about marrying you. If you get married, you can live in the Royal Palace and see the Princess every day.
-->>Leave that aside. I'm not looking for a Prince Trinx to give me my heart. The truth is, we're entering the academy in a week. Aren't you curious?
-->>Is that a question? Of course. To enter the tower, you have to enter the academy.
-->>Myra, do you think we can pass the tower test?
-->>Of course I can, all academies are designed to pass the Tower's test.
-->>We are both Mana energy users, hopefully we will unlock the same attribute.
-->>Why didn't you try using the Mana Stone?
-->>I am waiting to be used by the Na Academy like you. Did you have an invitation letter from the Na Academy? Can you give it to me? (Elaine)
-->>You're late. I gave it to someone today.
-->>Who are you going to give it to again?
-->>Who is a Commoner?
Elin thought that maybe it would be someone powerful who received an invitation letter to the academy from someone like Myra. Elin didn't receive any letter, but she wanted to give the daughter of one of her Maids a chance to enter the academy, Elin knew that the girl would have gotten a chance at the academy anyway since that girl could use Pran energy. But it would have been easier with the letter. Elin got a little angry. She wasn't angry at Myra, but at the commoner who received the letter from Myra. And it's not a good thing for a duke's daughter to be angry at ordinary people.
